The world only knows that Xiao Yang and Qin Fei fought over the position of Sect Master of the Azure Sun Sword Sect for a thousand years. Yet, only Xiao Yang truly understands just how despicable, shameless, insidious, and ruthless Qin Fei is.

Why? Because Qin Fei is the young master of the Demonic Sect, a spy planted by them.

However, no one, not even his master, parents, junior martial sister, younger sister, or any of his fellow disciples, believed Xiao Yang. Everyone chose to believe Qin Fei.

Everyone condemned Xiao Yang, claiming he was jealous of Qin Fei, accusing him of slandering and framing Qin Fei.

Qin Fei was simply too good at pretending. He feigned a pitiful background, acted weak, and staged being bullied, gaining people’s pity, sympathy, and protection. With his innate Dao physique, he was hailed as the chosen one of the heavens.

Fine, in this second life, Xiao Yang resolved to show the world how this so-called “chosen one” would massacre the Azure Sun Sword Sect, use the blood of cultivators across the world to break the seal of the Abyss of Demons, and plunge the entire world into a living hell for the demon race!

In the year 1627 of the Ming Dynasty, raw iron costs 9 wen per jin, wheat costs 0.7 liang per dan, and millet costs 0.5 liang per dan.

In the year 1627 of the Ming Dynasty, central government revenue is approximately 10 million liang of silver plus 4 million dan of tribute grain. Local revenues including junyao silver, minzhuang silver, lijia silver, and post station silver amount to about 10,000 to 20,000 liang per county.

In the year 1627 of the Ming Dynasty, the population is roughly 150 to 200 million, far from the Qing Dynasty's 400 million. Large tracts of land lie fallow in North Zhili, Henan, and Shandong, while Hunan, Hubei, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan are far from being developed to their limits.

In the year 1627 of the Ming Dynasty, after three consecutive years of favorable weather in Shaanxi, a slight drought begins this year. Overall, the south experiences slight flooding, while the north has slight drought, though large-scale natural disasters have not yet begun.

In the year 1627 of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji of the Later Jin has just ascended the throne for one year. He alleviated domestic famine by attacking Korea, but this also made General Amin, who led the expedition to Korea, too powerful to control. The co-governance system of the Four Beile still seems unbreakable.

So, why does such a promising situation gradually spiral toward catastrophic collapse?

So, when a time traveler arrives at this juncture, how difficult is it truly to turn the tide? Is it really as many claim—that by 1627, the Ming Dynasty's fate is already sealed beyond redemption?
