[A Hardcore Artifact Restorer vs. Ancient Gods: A War of Perception That Will Decide the Fate of Civilization]
At the Sanxingdui archaeological dig, the moment Zuo Qingxuan's fingertips touch the bronze sacred tree, a bizarre global livestream begins. Taotie patterns writhe at the bottom of the excavation pit, national highways melt into bronze slurry, and the oracle-bone character for “hunger” appears in the pupils of three hundred million viewers. A specialist restorer who can read the memories of artifacts, he sees not history, but a living hell devouring reality.
Beneath Night Watcher Qin Hongyi's gilded eyepatch, her mechanical eye scans an even more brutal truth: 5G base stations are turning the nation's collective resonance into sustenance for the gods, and every livestream is a resurrection ritual for a diviner of the Shang dynasty. When stone-like markings begin to creep up the neck of the young archaeologist Su Baizhi, Zuo Qingxuan finally realizes that the Warring States jade cong she carries contains an unfinished god-slaying program from King Wu's campaign against King Zhou.
In this war of perception spanning three thousand years:
⚔️ The Simuwu Ding is a sacrificial vessel connected to the modern power grid, and the ghosts of the Battle of Muye revive in the livestream comments.
⚔️ King Zhou's skull contains a quantum chip, and the foundations of the Deer Terrace hide the neural roots of Sanxingdui's sacred tree.
⚔️ Every artifact restored speeds up the petrification curse, which is actually a progress bar for the gods' descent.
The day the nation's collective resonance exceeds the critical threshold, Zuo Qingxuan sees the ultimate truth beneath the blood moon: what they call the battlefield of national fortune is nothing more than a possession ritual stretching back three thousand years. What he holds now is no Luoyang shovel, but a bronze key capable of rewriting human memory. Should he send King Wu's soul back to the Investiture of the Gods, or carve the Taotie pattern into a 5G base station? The countdown to this choice is playing out in the livestream comments…
