The Great Ruler was not a continuation of Battle Through the Heavens. Although both were fantasy novels, they were independent storylines. The story of the Great Ruler happened before Battle Through the Heavens. It was about a young genius, Mu Chen, who had experienced many challenges during his growth and finally became a powerful warrior. Although there was no direct connection between The Great Ruler and Battle Through the Heavens, it was a fantasy novel that was deeply loved by readers.
