During a great battle against the Heavenly Demon, Immortal Emperor Chen Rang was ambushed. A chaotic surge of spiritual energy from the clash accidentally swept him into another world.
When he awoke, a priestess was kneeling before him, weeping uncontrollably and clutching a crystal ball devoid of light.
The hero had been gone for a thousand years. Now the Demon King's army was massing outside the city gates, and everyone was waiting for a legend.
The priestess gave everything she had to summon a hero, but the crystal ball shattered. A mysterious man in ancient robes stepped out of the light!
"Please, save this world..." The priestess gazed at him pitifully.
Nearby, the snake demoness burst out laughing. "Don't think giving the hero a new look will change a thing. The Demon King will still crush him!"
Chen Rang glanced down at the robe, split in several places, then looked up at the somewhat bewildered god in the sky.
He spoke calmly. "Don't get the wrong idea."
He gave a light wave of his sleeve, his gaze icy.
"I'm already an Immortal Emperor. Why the hell would I be a hero?"
