September of Genesis Year Seven, also September of Great Huan Era Year Four.
Nearly four months had passed since the Han King Liu Bang's death. Across the world, winds shifted and clouds turned treacherous, bringing sweeping changes.
The Great Chu Imperial Dynasty, in particular, had been tottering on the brink of collapse after losing the Han Kingdom's powerful support. Yet it had suddenly received aid from large numbers of descended True Immortals, rising as an unexpected force and advancing to the rank of an imperial dynasty in a single leap.

Its influence carried tremendous weight not merely in China's Divine Land, but throughout the entire world!
On September first, the Huan Emperor Xiao Ying and the Chu Emperor Xiang Yu would fight a decisive duel atop Mount Tai. On September fifteenth, the Chu Emperor Xiang Yu would challenge Emperor Qin Ying Zheng for the position of the world's strongest man.
Of course, if Xiang Yu, hailed as the Tyrant Emperor of the Ages, lost the September first duel, there would naturally be no battle on September fifteenth! Everyone therefore knew that this was the Huan Emperor Xiao Ying's attempt to intercept and strike down the Chu Emperor Xiang Yu.
The moment news spread that the Huan Emperor Xiao Ying had challenged the Chu Emperor Xiang Yu, Mount Tai became the gathering ground of wind and storm. The world watched, and heroes flocked there.
