A civilization-spanning epic that overturns everything we know, an interstellar legend crossing time and space.
When archaeologist Lin Yan makes a shocking discovery in Egypt, he learns that the "Great Xia" recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas was actually ancient Egypt, and that the legends of the Yellow Emperor and Yu the Great eerily coincide with the civilization of the pharaohs! But on the eve of announcing the truth, he is murdered by a foreign spy, and his consciousness transmigrates into the body of Fusu, a prince of the Qin dynasty.
He overturns the history books and reveals the truth about King Zhou of Shang, Di Xin: he was no tyrant, but humanity's last line of defense against extraterrestrial civilizations! King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa, conspired with the alien "Hound Clan," causing a technological collapse in Huaxia. The survivors of the Shang dynasty crossed the sea to the Americas and became the ancestors of the Indigenous peoples...
He brings the Mohists to heel and, under the banner of "Heavenly Artifice," reunites the finest minds from the Hundred Schools and restores ancient technologies such as Xirang flood control, lightning-powered armor, and the antigravity "Xuanyuan Chariot"!
Global archaeology: He personally leads his cavalry west to verify the world map in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Kunlun is the pyramids, and the Yellow Emperor's mausoleum lies beneath Qiaoshan in Egypt, beside a temple. The Yellow Emperor was the first emperor to unify the realm, and the Temple of Ramses was built in his honor!
The First Emperor: "If this is how history unfolded, then reclaiming our ancestral lands is my duty. Send word to Wang Jian, Meng Tian, and Li Xin. The people of this realm have suffered division for too long. Let all under Heaven use the same script and travel on roads with the same axle width. Let them wear Huaxia garments and follow Huaxia rites."
