Republican Era: From Corpse Retriever to Sea-Overturning Sage

In the fifth year of the Great Xin Dynasty, the state is crumbling and chaos is upon the land.

In the southern provinces, scholars try to mend the heavens with new schools of thought.

In the streets of Jingjin, all sorts of extraordinary figures from the martial world appear one after another.

Within Shanhai Pass, warlords and bandits carve up the land and proclaim themselves kings.

In the foreign concessions, guns, alchemy, and machinery are taking flight.

The streets and martial world teem with bandits, highwaymen, witch's potions, mecha, warships...

Without even one of these, this martial world wouldn't be complete!

Chen Yan transmigrates into this world, walking the Yin-Yang Road and making his living among the dead.

He opens the Book of a Hundred Trades: professions of every kind can be combined, and a thousand divergent paths can all return to the same source.

[Corpse Retriever] + [Actor] = [Nuo Exorcist]: Wearing a Nuo mask, he guides departed souls; with his singing, he opens the gates between yin and yang.

[Traveling Peddler] + [Informer] = [Master of All Knowledge]: A shoulder pole takes him across the land; his silver tongue conceals the secrets of yin and yang.

[Painter] + [Gunslinger] = [Fate Player]: Blooming amid slaughter, like a flower at dawn.

Ten thousand years later, Chen Yan crushes the Machine God and bows his head amid the chaos.

"I want all foreigners dead!!"
