"Hunyuan Tribulation: Poems of Civilization" is an epic that combines history, science fiction, fantasy and philosophical speculation. The story begins when physicist Li Qingyang travels to the era of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty when mythology is revived. He soon discovers that he is not only the genetic carrier of Lei Zhenzi, but also the only "variable" in a civilizational chess game that spans eternity. Faced with Buddhism's plan to "purify" the other side of bliss, Taoism's inaction order that clings to the status quo, and the radical legacy of the ancient "Jie Jiao" that intercepted a glimmer of life for civilization at all costs, Li Qingyang refused to become a pawn of either party.
He teamed up with geneticist Yuan Jiuge, cook Zhu Dachang, and dragon ecologist Ao Ling to use modern science as a sword to break through the fog of myths:
Based on the Taoist "balance of yin and yang", we reconcile the conflict between technology and immortality and build a new paradigm of dynamic harmony.
Based on the Buddhist concept of "all beings are equal", we break down the innate hierarchies based on spiritual roots and bloodline, and safeguard the dignity and development rights of every life.
With the goal of intercepting and teaching "intercepting vitality", we stand up against the cold mechanism of the cyclical "formatting" of the universe.
From the technological enlightenment on the streets of Chang'an to the Civilization Alliance of the Interstellar Federation, they are not only competing with the gods and Buddhas, but also fighting for a future that can be defined and freely chosen for all imperfect and struggling human civilizations that contain infinite possibilities. This is not only a story about strength, but also a civilized poem about existence, freedom and responsibility.
