In the Primordial Heavenly Domain, three thousand Dao Provinces are home to countless races and sects like stars in the sky, while mighty dynasties rule the land.
Here, the strong are revered, and the weak are no more than dust. The path of cultivation begins with the ten Body-Tempering stages, followed by four realms: Mortal Shedding, Divine Delusion, Dao Foundation, and Golden Body. Only then can one glimpse the chance to become a King. Those who become Kings receive a mandate from heaven and rule over a region; those who become Emperors have their names recorded by heaven and earth, their might shaking the eight directions...
Ye Chen, a peerless powerhouse destined to dominate the Primordial Heavenly Domain, has his soul hurled back ten thousand years during a cataclysm, to the place where it all began.
When he wakes, he has become the ruler of a third-rate little principality: a hundred li of territory, a hundred thousand subjects, and a nation perpetually on the verge of collapse.
But two heaven-defying treasures awaken within him:
The first is the Human Emperor Sign-in System. By guarding his nation and expanding its borders, he can sign in to summon ancient generals, peerless cultivation techniques, and heaven-defying treasures.
The second is a supreme treasure of causality. Using the dynasty’s dragon energy as its foundation and the Heavenly Dao’s fortune as its support, it can borrow power from his future self across time and space. The more prosperous the nation’s fate, the more terrifying the power he can borrow, even allowing him to summon his supreme true form from ten thousand years in the future!
And so Ye Chen takes his ruined principality as his starting point and the dynasty as his game board, advancing with every step carefully planned. He devours rival lords, conquers the myriad races, breaks the immortal dynasties, and shakes the ancestral temple of humanity.
He will transform this tiny principality into a supreme immortal dynasty that reigns above the ages.
He will become a being more ancient than even the immortals: the Human Emperor!
He watches the tides rise and fall across the Primordial Heavenly Domain, supreme and unrivaled.
