The Nineteenth Imperial Prison

The Emperor commands the heavens, ruling over the rise and fall of the universe. The Emperor commands all living things. Are all beings mere dust? An Emperor is domineering and powerful, supreme above all. He embodies every law, every principle, every path. Those who submit live; those who defy him die. He stands high above, shining alongside the sun and moon, sharing their dust and decay. Yet in this world, there are also the Nineteen Levels of the Imperial Prison. The Imperial Prison takes the lives of emperors and kings, reducing them to dust, slaves, or dogs, and making them serve my will. The Imperial Prison offers the blood of emperors and kings as power, as a source, as creation itself, and as the foundation of my martial path. The youth Xiao Nan transmigrates from the end-of-martial-arts era, one hundred thousand years in the future. He shatters a divine statue and travels through a hundred lifetimes, uniting the wills of all one hundred lives upon his return. Only then does he discover that the statue's true form is the Nineteen Levels of the Imperial Prison. He had placed his faith in the gods, but the gods had deceived all living beings. He had placed his faith in the Emperor, but the Emperor saw him as dust. So be it. With the Nineteen Levels of the Imperial Prison, I shall imprison every emperor under heaven and command every god. Whether you are a Heavenly Emperor, a Divine Emperor, a Martial Emperor, an Emperor of the mortal realm, an ancient Emperor, a present-day Emperor, or a future Emperor, those who follow me shall be emperors; those who defy me shall be slaves. My words are law, heaven, and reason. I am the Lord of the Imperial Prison.
