2153: I'm Never Going Back

History has a way of repeating itself. After unification, the Daze Kingdom gradually grows wealthy. Japanese pirates from the Sang Kingdom attack, the Silver Elephant Kingdom provokes them, and Mi Lijian organizes a multinational coalition to invade...

Lu Zeyu unites the tribes and founds the Daze Kingdom. He resists the Japanese pirates along the coast, reclaims the Daiwa and Liuqiu Islands, launches counterattacks along the frontier, invades the Japanese pirates' Little Ghost Island, and fights off the invading multinational coalition...

In 2153, a malfunction in a time-travel machine leaves Lu Zeyu stranded in the wilderness of the Stone Age. He never expected the conflicts on this primitive land to reproduce the hidden patterns of a thousand years of history with such precision. Regional warlords carve up the land, while bands of raiders run rampant and plunder the people, echoing the age-old struggle between the central government and local powers. Expeditions across the sea to conquer the island nations of the eastern seas, reclaim the treasure islands of the southeast and the old lands of Liuqiu, and repel border incursions by the elephant kingdom of South Asia: every battle follows the ancient script of geopolitical conflict.

The scholar Zhenjian tries six times to travel east to the Sang Kingdom with his technology. As steadfast as Jianzhen on his voyage east, he faces an unknown fate. When forces from several nations arrive together, coveting and plotting to divide the fertile Daze, the shadow of the foreign powers' invasion of China reappears in the distant past. Advanced technology cannot break the inertia of history. Resources inexplicably run dry, allies suddenly defect, and an invisible “historical correction mechanism” closes in step by step.
