Name: Revolution Against Heaven
Author: Shen Zhehao

Synopsis

The Ling dynasty had just been founded, and the Zhao Wu dynasty had only just fallen. The wars had ended, but the people's pots were still empty of rice.

Six-year-old Shen Zhehao was sold by his own father to the bandits of Phoenix Mountain for three sheng of coarse rice. On the mountain, he was a stable boy who poured tea and served the gang leader, Hong Tian. No one knew that the dark, silent boy carried a blood-patterned ring that could never be washed clean, or that a mysterious space wreathed in purple energy lay within him. Its water could bring the dead back to life, its fruit trees bore dragon-blood-red fruit, and a single breath of its purple energy could remake a person from the inside out.

The blades of government troops, the swords of immortal masters, and the flames of demonic sects all came for the boy.

He had only one path: survive, grow stronger, and make this world repay him, with interest, for everything it owed him.

How would an ordinary boy who was sold away rise from stable hand in a bandit stronghold to the pinnacle of the human realm, then ascend to immortality?
