In Search of Spirits and Monsters

This world is full of wonders, with spirits everywhere:

The wasp-waisted gentleman who cannot get over his first love,

The White Lotus Matriarch who always loses at gambling,

The green-headed old turtle who dreams of becoming prime minister.

All living things with feelings, the mountains, rivers, sun, and moon, even ingenious toys, can become spirits.

And countless strange inheritances lie in wait:

The hunter's arts of capturing demons and subduing dragons,

The paper-folder's craft of cutting paper into people,

The fortune-teller's ability to change bones and alter fate,

The gambler's knack for reaching for the moon and coming up empty-handed.

Every profession has its own pinnacle of skill. Those who enter Heaven's Gate can all attain the Dao.

When Zhang Yuanlu arrived, he discovered a world on the brink of transformation, where the clash between old and new intertwined science with the supernatural.

It all began with a game called the Divine Wonders List:

Seek spirits and strange beings, question the Dao and become a god.

On the road to godhood, who will rise and who will fall?

Who will carry on the thousand-year-old game of strategy?

The world is changing, factions are in conflict, strange people and events abound, and tales of ghosts and monsters fill the land. The nation is on the brink of collapse. Who will turn the tide?

"It's alive! The thousand-year-old dead game has been revived! Whose lieutenant is this little black piece?"

With Zhang Yuanlu as my black piece, who can stand against me on the board?

"From the moment I chose to take up the sword, I knew I had to stand at the summit.", Zhang Yuanlu.
