In an age when everyone awakens, anyone can summon troops from the myriad races and embark on a path to defy the heavens.
Young Lin Yi comes from humble beginnings, but awakens a legendary talent: the Human Emperor's Gift. The troops he summons aren't ordinary soldiers, but legendary heroes from Chinese history: Xiang Yu, peerless in battle; Bai Qi, a scourge of slaughter; Han Xin, the God of War; Yue Fei, fiercely loyal to his country... One man is an army, and the myriad races bow before him.
From an unknown nobody at the Imperial Capital Academy to a sensation at the national tournament; from turning the tide in the capital city of Tianjing to saving the day when the shadows descend; from the contest for supremacy among the myriad races in the secret realm of Zhongzhou to awakening the Three Sovereigns' legacy through the Human Emperor's Seal; from facing down the threat of the myriad races alone during a global beast tide to the final battle against a Chaos behemoth... Lin Yi charges ever forward, leading the allied forces of the myriad races to crush every enemy.
The ancient clans awaken one by one, and the truth behind creation comes to light. Is the world an experiment? Lin Yi is determined to shatter its shackles and lead the myriad races toward evolution. The Lord of Chaos descends, seeking to return the world to nothingness. The Human Emperor's Seal shines, and the myriad races unite as one: We of the myriad races will never be slaves!
After the final battle, Lin Yi becomes the Eternal Guardian, suppressing chaos and watching over the human world. A century of peace follows, and the myriad races flourish. Then the gates to the stars beyond this world swing open, and the Human Emperor Lin Yi leads the myriad races beneath their banners into a vast sea of stars.
We of the myriad races will never be slaves!
