Xiao Xuanji transmigrated to another world. Starting from nothing, he rose from a follower of the Fire-Worshipping Cult to its pope, then became emperor. He spearheaded the movement to free the slaves, launched the Industrial Revolution, and ushered in a new era, dragging a poor, weak, and long-enslaved little nation out of the mire of ruin.
But a man is innocent of wrongdoing, yet guilty for possessing a treasure!
Spirit-stone mines, a resource granted by heaven, gave Cang a chance to dominate the world, but also attracted countless hungry wolves.
Yao and Shuo were bearing down on them, threatening to wipe Cang off the map within ten days!
On the very night he resolved to fight to the death, Xiao Xuanji suffered a sudden heart attack and died unexpectedly... He had thought death was certain, only to discover that he could return whenever he died!
After returning to the moment before his death, he realized that his heart attack hadn't been an accident. Someone had poisoned him!
Xiao Xuanji decided to use the plot against him to his advantage. He would willingly meet his death as a martyr, using his own sacrifice to ignite the spirit of resistance throughout the nation.
To die as a martyr, giving one's life for one's country, is among the noblest ways to die.
But who could have guessed that after he faked his death, the Fire-Worshipping Cult's reclusive elders would all emerge and issue the Sect's Sacred Fire Edict, placing a worldwide bounty on the emperor of Yao!
