Is Studying Useless? When I Speak, the Law Follows—Why Are You Still Kneeling?

The Central Plains Dynasty spans the world, and the three paths of immortality, martial arts, and swordsmanship have flourished for thousands of years.

This place speaks only of the law of the jungle and the supremacy of the strong.

The people at the bottom, ordinary people, can only live by crawling on the ground and accepting handouts.

Until one day, a scholar established an academy.

He said to the court: govern through virtue; it is like the North Star, staying in its place while the multitude of stars pay homage.

He said to the jianghu: do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire.

He said to all the people under heaven: as heaven moves forward with vigor, so should the gentleman strive ceaselessly to strengthen himself.

A great catastrophe of all ages is approaching, and ancient gods wish to shatter the Central Plains and remake heaven and earth.

A scholar stands for heaven and earth by setting his heart right, for the people by securing their fate, for the sages of old by continuing their learning, and for eternal peace and order by opening the path to lasting tranquility for all generations.

With the sage's dharma image, what he says becomes the law.
