When Chen Feng, a top modern special forces soldier, turned into quantum dust in a nuclear explosion, he opened his eyes again to find himself the foolhardy Ninth Prince Liu Bian at the end of the Eastern Han dynasty. With a quantum supercomputer fused to his brain, he discovers he can decipher the interstellar coordinates hidden in the Imperial Jade Seal, crack the genetic code concealed in the Taiping Classic, and uncover the most absurd truth of this era: the flight paths of cultivators wielding flying swords are actually vibrations of unobserved eleven-dimensional strings, while deep beneath Luoyang lies a sleeping civilization editor capable of rewriting the laws of physics.
From sparking an agricultural revolution by improving the curved-shaft plow to powering a particle collider with true qi; from training a force of long-bladed saber troops to sweep aside the warlords to detonating an antimatter bomb on the Red Cliffs battlefield. Chen Feng’s fief becomes a laboratory spanning time and space: Mohist mechanisms dance with nanobots, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade resonates with plasma blades, and the Eight Trigrams formation devised by Zhuge Liang turns out to be a primitive quantum-computer algorithm.
But when he binds the sun with a Dyson sphere and crushes the cultivation sects with a fleet of starships, he realizes everything was predetermined. The Imperial Jade Seal is an observation anchor for a higher civilization, tribulation lightning is the universe’s formatting program, and his centuries of conquest are merely a historical recursion between the pages of some being’s book.
In this ultimate struggle across dimensions, Chen Feng will lead a mixed army of mechs and flying swords to face the Trisolaran fleet at Hulao Pass, then battle the Primordial Saints at the edge of a black hole. When the data flood of cultivation civilization collides with quantum souls, and the dragon aura of the Imperial Jade Seal links to dominion over the stars, a truth that will tear apart all of space and time is about to emerge: the so-called Heavenly Dao is merely source code written by the previous transmigrator. And his task is to become the first creation bug to break free of the narrative dimension.
