**On a night when seven stars hang in the sky, the divine bloodline subdues the gods!**
Overworked office worker Xia Yuan is observing a once-in-a-millennium alignment of seven stars when he is swept into a rift in space and time. When he opens his eyes, he is in another world, the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Although people in this world use Chinese characters, they have no surviving classics or traditions. A cataclysm shook heaven and earth at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, severing the cultural heritage of China. The dragon veins have been pierced by twelve bronze pillars covered in alien divine runes.
Xia Yuan carries China's divine bloodline, and a mysterious bracelet on his wrist awakens the remnants of ancient gods within him:
Fuxi's Yellow River Map and Luo Writing deduce flaws in the laws of heaven in his mind; Mozi's mechanical arts decipher Greek divine fire; Li Bai's poetry-sword severs the threads of fate woven by the Norse gods...
Cultivators in this world are trapped by the Five Declines of Heaven and Man, while the Western pantheon uses the roots of the World Tree to rewrite the laws of heaven and earth.
Xia Yuan uses the Book of Changes to redefine the Eight Trigrams, the Tao Te Ching to complete cultivation methods, and the Exploitation of the Works of Nature to forge divine artifacts. A flood dragon in the Yellow River hears him recite scripture and transforms into a dragon; because of him, the Jixia Academy revives the contention of a hundred schools of thought.
Yet the divine fires of Olympus burn the classics to ash, and the battle-axes of Asgard split the earth's veins.
When a golden patch of light appears in the missing corner of the Imperial Jade Seal, Xuanyuan Sword and the Trojan Horse clash at the level of the laws themselves...
Can Chinese civilization defy fate and reclaim its destiny in a world whose history has been severed?
