Synopsis

[Transmigrate to change history + supernatural ability rankings + passionate defense of the nation + slay gods + 39 will make you cry + quality certified by Deng Deng]

Return to the Great Xia of history and rewrite its regrets: Yue Fei, Yu Qian, 81192, and more.

Hey, everyone, want to see Sanjiu Yinyu transmigrate back in time to steal national treasures?

Want to see a black-bladed sword atop the roof of the Sihang Warehouse, killing the enemy?

Want to see Xu Er’s cat slay Qin Hui and bring the Yue Family Army to its full strength?

Want to see the familiar names you know appear in the history of Great Xia?

(Authorization or guidance has been obtained from everyone mentioned above. The beginning is a slow burn, but the middle gets thrilling.)

When gods whisper in dreams, when fog spreads across the land,

when people begin to lose their convictions and confidence,

Livestreams begin, taking viewers back through history!

They lead people across the ages, bringing the true history before the world.

Everything we lost, we’ll take back into our hands!

Want to charge through the Three Kingdoms?

Want to board the Zhiyuan cruiser?

Want to bring an aerospace carrier to the walls of Ping’an City?

Come along!

You and I are both heirs to this yellow earth.

So strap on your blades and sling your guns over your shoulders.

Remember the color of your skin. Remember your name.

Ride with me, spurring our horses onward!

But slowly, everything begins to come to light.

The real enemy is right beside us!

Guys, I haven't found an urban novel this much to my taste in years. The protagonist has a superpower. At first, I thought it was a System-powered wish-fulfillment story, but after more than 80,000 words, I realized it's actually an alien-themed wild ride. Who knows what other twists are coming?

The subject matter is excellent; I'd like to see who dares to give it a bad review. This book actually includes Dao Sanjiu's storyline 😏 Hehehehehehe, I'm really looking forward to it!

The theme of cultural invasion is truly worth watching, regardless of how it's written. It's something we should discover, ponder, explore, and even consider to change. It's definitely worth watching. Moreover, Dengdeng writes well; her writing style is excellent. And the brothers from Zhan Shen, and Sanjiu's cameo—you absolutely must watch it! 😏 [Top post][Top post][Top post][Highly recommended][Highly recommended]

I don't understand why the score is so low. A group of people hiding in the shadows, protecting and sheltering this country, is a very good theme. So far, the plot is exciting and the writing is smooth, so it deserves a high score. Okay, okay, okay, okay, the rating is finally back above nine points! I'm so happy! It just feels like there's not enough... When will you arrange a big update?

I personally feel this book has the potential to be a masterpiece!!! The word "brilliant" doesn't even begin to describe it! The only drawback is that it's too short!!! I wonder how the sequel to this book will be. I hope it will be just as exciting, but more importantly, I hope it will be a bit longer (not too long, two thousand chapters would be enough 😏). Author, keep up the good work!!

A high-quality book; even the Tiger Army praised it!

Dengdeng is an experienced author with excellent writing skills and strong logical structure in her books. Her previous popular works can attest to this. I hope new readers won't be so ungrateful as to give her random ratings [heavy blow] (ps: I'm new too 😏) Were you suppressed?

I love watching 39 go and create romance! Cough cough cough! Overall, Dengdeng handled the beginning of her new book very well, and the plot had its ups and downs. As for the behavior of praising one book while criticizing another, I will not comment. The world-building of Dengdeng's new book has already been established in over forty chapters.

The plot is vivid and it's linked to "I Learned to Slay Gods in a Mental Hospital," which is very good. I personally feel that a 9.3 Rating is worth buying.

Using culture as a theme is rare for Tomato (a popular Chinese author). The author portrays the characters with great detail, making them vivid and relatable. With patriotism as the main theme, the book depicts the author's love for the nation's culture. Currently, the book has no major flaws, the plot is logical and reasonable, and it is a worthwhile read.

This patriotic book is really good. I came from Zhan Shen's blog, and I never expected to see characters from that book again. I'm really grateful to the author. The subject matter is also very interesting. It's just that there isn't enough content. I hope the author can update more often.
