Dragon Talisman

Skyseal Emperor Gu Taxian reigns supreme, having conquered the Hundred Empires and established an era of unprecedented progress. He erected fortifications, reshaped landscapes for commerce, and fostered education, all while preparing to eradicate pagan religions and elevate humanity to godhood. This ambition alarms deities, demons, and immortals. Gu Chensha, the Emperor's nineteenth son, is the child of a princess from a subjugated empire. His mother's suicide left him vulnerable at court. For years, Chensha feigned foolishness to survive amongst his ambitious siblings. However, he stumbles upon the 'Son of Heaven’s Consecration,' an ancient ritual granting the power to transform mortals into gods or usurp divine authority. Now possessing the means to alter his fate, Chensha faces a perilous path. His siblings and their powerful allies will resist his ascent. Furthermore, concealing his possession of the Rites of Celestial Sacrifice from his father risks certain death. Chensha's future hinges on his ability to leverage this newfound power, either to become a legend or fade into obscurity within the Eternal Imperium's history.
