The Scholar Awakens: I Topple the Celestial Court with the Secret Art of Time

Chen Zhao, a physics prodigy, accidentally activates an ancient gene in the laboratory. He sees oracle-bone script from the far side of time and glimpses the truth of the universe. The Heavenly Court is a higher-dimensional ark, and the immortals are remnants of the previous civilization. Humanity has been rebooted every thousand years. Technology is merely there to complete the script. The sacred tree at Sanxingdui is an energy tower, and the Classic of Mountains and Seas is a testament to a bygone era. He masters the arcane arts of time, and the Heavenly Court marks him for elimination. On the run from his pursuers, he awakens his genetic lock and allies with a mechanic, a guardian, and a hermit. He cracks the codes of mythology and turns the power of faith against its masters. From top student to ruler of space and time, he overturns the laws governing the Heavenly Court. In this life, he will rewrite the fate that was predetermined for him. This novel and its characters are entirely fictional. Any resemblance to real people or events is purely coincidental.
