Global Empire: Starting from the Late Ming Dynasty

The story begins with a brief dual-world traversal, transporting the protagonist to Zunhua Ancient City in the Jizhen region during the turbulent final years of the Ming Dynasty. Taking control of an iron smelting workshop, he starts as a novice and gradually immerses himself in major historical events, uncovering truths that have been deliberately obscured by time. As he navigates through the fog of history, he grows from an ordinary individual into a formidable warlord amidst the chaos. Through strategic expansion, military buildup, and industrial development, the protagonist engages in intense political struggles within the imperial court while simultaneously crushing external threats from the Mongols and the Manchus. Balancing both maritime and terrestrial power, he sets his sights on global conquest. Alongside his rise to power, he enjoys sweet romantic encounters with multiple heroines. Wielding the power of iron and fire, he reshapes the vast landscape, using advanced technology to shatter the old world order. Ultimately, he replaces the Ming Dynasty, establishes a new empire, recasts the Nine Cauldrons, and divides the world into the New Nine Provinces, creating a unified global empire on Earth and ushering in a new era for humanity.
