I Returned from the Execution Ground

Three years held hostage, then awakening in a single moment. Ji Yan crushed an enemy general's heart on the execution ground, beginning a bloody journey of a thousand miles back to the capital.

Ahead lay the murderous intentions of his regent uncle; behind him, pursuers from the Sacred Realm hunting for his life. When he finally returned to the Divine Capital, all he found was his mother in the Cold Palace and an empress who had been force-fed for three years.

A cage that had held him for thirty thousand years, the dying words of the first person to ascend, and the scornful laughter of harvesters from beyond the heavens...

Ji Yan said, “Ascension? That's your ascension. What I want is for humanity to live forever.”
