Warring States: The Hundred Schools Vie for Supremacy, and I Am the Human Emperor

Synopsis

In the final years of the Warring States era, the land is engulfed in endless flames of war and ceaseless conflict.

Beneath a sky thick with baleful energy, countless divine wonders appear, revealing the supernatural marvels of ancient times.

Those blessed with great fortune gain insight into many arts within these wonders, seeking traces of immortals in the hope of gaining the supreme powers ascribed to them in myth.

Countless cultivation sects are born, competing and battling over their arts. Historians call this the Contention of a Hundred Schools.

At that time, the feudal lords rise up, the Zhou royal house declines, and it has no choice but to pin its hopes on a sacrifice to Heaven.

During one such rite, a divine oracle descends.

But, against all expectations, it falls upon a newborn baby.

Witness how Shen Zhao, bearer of the "Mandate of Heaven," draws upon the strengths of a hundred schools amid the chaos, step by step attaining the legendary realm of the Human Emperor, and gradually uncovering the many secrets of ancient times, bringing myth back into the world.

(This novel is set in the final years of the Warring States era, but is not intended as rigorous history. Please don't nitpick.)
