I Tried to Retire, But My Disciples Keep Shocking the World

Lucian Imperius was once the Heavenly Emperor, the undisputed apex of the Immortal World for nearly a million years. Having conquered every challenge, he grew weary of endless battles and power struggles.

Then one day... he vanished.

Leaving behind only a letter:

“I’m retiring. My most talented descendant can take over, or maybe the Prime Minister, if that’s easier. But no infighting. If I find out, I will kill you all. And seriously, don’t try to find me.”

Choosing peace over power, Lucian withdrew to a secluded mountain refuge in the mortal realm, seeking a quiet life far from chaos.

But fate had other plans.

A mysterious system awakens within his soul, opening a gateway to a realm beyond the Immortal World, the sealed Divine Realm. The system reveals only cryptic fragments of its power, challenging Lucian to take in disciples: broken souls and forgotten talents cast out by the world: exiled cultivators, mortal beggars, and reincarnated beings unaware of their true origins.

Guiding them from the shadows, Lucian sends his disciples on secret missions, nurturing their growth while keeping a low profile. But as they begin to break through into the Immortal World, strange forces start to take notice, and whispers of a hidden Divine Realm spread.

With every breakthrough, the stakes rise. The path to the Divine Realm is long, perilous, and locked behind ancient mysteries even Lucian must unravel. Can he protect his disciples and unlock the secrets of true ascension, or will his hard-earned peace be shattered forever?
