Li Zhen, a transmigrator, was the Great Yu Dynasty's vanguard general. He once took an arrow for Emperor Shao Xuji, sacrificing all his cultivation to secure the empire's stability. He was made Chancellor and married a princess, wielding enormous power at court. Yet his outstanding achievements made the emperor fear his influence. Demoted to Prefect of the Capital, Li Zhen awakens a system. Furious, he resigns and heads for the desolate northern frontier of Danzhou. There, he subdues the princess of the Shuoyan tribe, slays the imperial pursuers, and receives cultivation techniques and a powerful army from the system. He establishes the Great Zhen Royal Court and begins his campaign for supremacy. After sweeping across the northern tribes and building an imperial capital, he repeatedly defeats Great Yu's armies and captures Shao Xuji alive. Finally, with his forces at the gates of the capital, he forces Princess Shao Xuxue to surrender. Li Zhen ascends the throne, establishes the Great Zhen Empire, and changes the fate of the realm.
