After Returning from Death, I Faked My Death to Sacrifice Myself for the Dao

Xiao Xuanji transmigrates to another world and rises from nothing: from a follower of the Fire-Worshipping Cult to its pope, and then to emperor. He leads the slave liberation movement, launches the Industrial Revolution, and ushers in a new era, dragging a poor, weak, long-enslaved nation out of the mire of ruin.

But a man is innocent of a crime until he possesses a treasure, and that treasure becomes his guilt!

The spiritstone mines, a resource of unparalleled abundance, offer the State of Cang hope of claiming dominion over the land, while also drawing countless ravenous wolves.

The States of Yao and Shuo advance menacingly, boasting that they will wipe out the people of Cang within ten days!

On the very night he resolves to fight to the death, Xiao Xuanji suffers a sudden heart attack and dies unexpectedly... Certain he is doomed, he suddenly discovers that he can return through death!

Back before his death, he discovers that his heart condition was no accident: someone had poisoned him in secret!

Xiao Xuanji decides to turn the plot against him to his advantage. He will willingly die for the cause, using his own death to ignite the spirit of resistance throughout the nation.

To die for one's cause, to die for one's country: there is no nobler way to die.

But who could have guessed that after he fakes his death, all the Fire-Worshipping Cult's reclusive elders emerge and issue the sect's Sacred Flame Decree, putting a worldwide bounty on the emperor of Yao!
