The Emperor of Heaven is fought for, not elected.
The elected Emperor of Heaven is called Haotian, bearing the title of Emperor, but without the authority, merely a puppet. The Emperor of Heaven who ascends through battle is named Di Jun, his might shaking the prehistoric world for countless millennia, compelling even saints to avoid his might.
In the space between Heaven and Earth, everything is a struggle: fate is fought for, resources are fought for, territories are battled for...
Only by struggling for everything can you gain everything!
"With the emergence of the Emperor's Purple Qi, a fierce struggle of dragons and tigers is inevitable."
Jiang Chen has set his heart on obtaining this Emperor's Purple Qi, a desire harboured by other powerful individuals of the Human Race. Before the Emperor's decree is issued, status is irrelevant, only the strongest qualifies to possess it.
