For thirty-six thousand years, the gods in the heavens have looked down on the world, tempering the people with disasters, and harvesting the destiny of the human race with incense.
In ancient times, great merchants, humanity was at its peak, and the human emperor rose up to resist the gods and conquer the heavens. However, he was eventually destroyed by civil strife, natural disasters, and foreign enemies, leaving only a blood-stained history book as a warning to future generations of dynasties.
After the battle at Juetian Cliff, the smoke cleared.
Xiao Zhaoye, the late emperor of Great Yan, devoted all the elites of the country, burned out his human emperor dragon energy, and forcibly cut off the ten thousand years of incense enshrined in heaven by the human world. The war was tragically won, the mountains and rivers were shattered, and the bones of millions of soldiers were buried on the battlefield.
Young Xiao Jingyan ascended to the throne amidst a crisis and took over a devastated dynasty.
The gods of the Nine Heavens do not want to lose their destiny in the world, and they do not send thunder to destroy the country, but they bring natural disasters every year, wearing down the tenacity of the people with endless suffering, and want to force the world to kneel down and worship the gods again.
Within the court, the five great families have secret connections to the heaven, hoarding food and grass, spreading rumors, and causing trouble to the court; outside the border, the god-respecting Dayong Dynasty has millions of soldiers, eyeing the territory of Dayan.
There are traitors inside who are stealing the country, there are powerful enemies around outside, and there are layers of calculations by the gods above.
Without a heaven-defying golden finger or divine power, all the young Human Emperor could rely on was the broken luck of humanity, a group of loyal ministers, and hundreds of millions of people in Great Yan struggling to survive.
Abandon the gods and sacrifices and erect monuments to all spirits to calm the refugees and consolidate the country.
The common people do not worship gods, but heroes and martyrs leave their names behind.
This is a tragic epic in which mortals are unyielding and use their humanity to conquer the heavens.
