Alan, a business elite, died in a car accident under a heavy truck, but his soul accidentally traveled to New York in 1860 and became a 19-year-old Irish youth with nothing.

With the advent of the Gilded Age, he expanded into oil, steel, military industry, railroads, and even ventured into media, real estate, electrical technology, and the hotel industry. From a contemporary elite to a 19th-century pauper, how did he create a multi-faceted, top-tier family tycoon in America a century ago?

In 1914, the United States had transitioned from the Gilded Age to the Progressive Age, enjoying 40 years of peace and a comfortable environment, and was the world's most powerful nation.

Now, faced with the ever-rising Sun King Louis XIV—what choice should he make?
