This novel tells the story of a small tribe founding a nation, repelling foreign invaders, and conquering the world. It also features magical duels, cultivation, and chivalrous heroes. After defeating Hannibal in the Punic Wars, Rome became more arrogant than ever. Later, Caesar eliminated his rivals and campaigned east and west, laying the foundations for Octavian to become emperor. After several generations, Rome reached the height of its power. Small nations sent petitions of submission, while great powers paid tribute and came to pay their respects year after year. North of the Alps was a small tribe called the Aster Tribe. Its chieftain sought recognition as a nation, so the tribe submitted to Rome and gradually grew stronger. In the end, it dominated Asia, Africa, and Europe, until even Rome could no longer control it.
