Three months ago, a coup took place in the imperial capital of the Holy First Empire.
Li Chuchen, son of the Eastern Defender Divine General and a mysterious good-for-nothing, was betrayed on his wedding night by Leng Qingcheng, the heavenly beauty betrothed to him since infancy, who joined forces with her cousin, Crown Prince Longwu, to slaughter his entire family. The day after the coup, Crown Prince Longwu was crowned emperor, taking the title “Great Virtue, Supreme Might, Longwu Holy Emperor.” He then married his cousin Leng Qingcheng and bestowed upon her the title “Great Accomplishment, Supreme Sage, Divine Martial Empress.” History would remember the era as “The Two Emperors Reigning Together”!
After the entire Li family was slaughtered, the Li estate burned for ten days and ten nights.
On the tenth night, a Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron wreathed in blazing flames shot into the sky and vanished into the eastern night. From inside the cauldron, a young voice erupted with boundless rage and grief: “One day, when I rise into the heavens, I'll send you all straight to the underworld!”
