Mythic Late Ming: Dragons and Serpents Rise from the Land

Also known as “Su Daji’s Real-Life Inspiration Was Actually Nurhaci!”

“Old Nurhaci founded Later Jin just to fulfill his grandfather’s cosplay dream?”

“Tong, Tong, or Tong? The Jia-Gu Clan? A thousand years of wealth, Old Nurhaci’s legacy!!”

This is an ancient world steeped in mythology.

Beginning around the transition from Qin to Han, meteorites fell and Heaven and Earth underwent a great upheaval. Supernatural powers exist in this world!

In the turbulent late Ming era, Liaodong is in turmoil. The sun and moon turn, and the cycles of growth and decay begin. A thousand years of upheaval in China start here.

Yuan Chonghuan looks like a little macaque, yet speaks boldly with his sleeves rolled up, and seems to have a subtle power to bewitch people’s minds.

Mao Wenlong takes up his guandao and strikes as he turns, sending sword energy surging a hundred yards.

Huang Taiji glances back, his narrow eyes seeing through people’s hearts, like a yellow fox seated in the grand hall.

Li Zicheng commands a million troops, with a colossal phantom appearing behind him, as if Zhenwu himself had descended into the mortal world.

Sun Xiangcheng is reborn as a low-ranking soldier on Pi Island, where he sets the tides of the world in motion from within the Dongjiang garrison.

He wages war against the Manchus and the Great Shun, and overthrows the corrupt Southern Ming regime... until the realm is united at last.

In this chaotic age, dark teal scales and claws grow upon him.

Sun Xiangcheng leads the Han people up Mount Tai to worship Heaven and Earth, then proclaims something contrary to the First Emperor’s declaration: “The Great Way is practiced, and the world belongs to all. I will end this thousand-year cycle. I want everyone in this world to become a dragon!”
