From the age of nine, he began to plan to become an emperor.

Faced with the real history, the genetic warrior Zhang Chengfeng who had transmigrated from 5900 AD was at a loss. Baiqi, the God of Slaughter, was not dead. He was the leader of a mysterious sect and led 30,000 men of sacrifice to guard the Qin Mausoleum. General Meng Kuo refused to commit suicide by taking poison. 350,000 mercenaries guarded the Great Wall to deter the Xiongnu. The Marquis of Wuling, Wang Ben, inherited his father's legacy and controlled the movement of 280,000 Qin soldiers. Xiang Yu, the Conqueror of Chu, was actually an adulterer. This was not a big deal. The key was that the Conqueror's IQ was as high as 240 points. Moreover, the stone lion he lifted weighed more than 1,900 pounds. The First Emperor was talented and resourceful. He was in the prime of his life. The Imperial Advisor, Xu Fu, could calculate and know about the major events of the world. Where was Liu Bang? Zhang Chengfeng, who had accepted the heavy responsibility, was shrouded in mystery…If he could not find Liu Bang, he would not be able to return to the future.
