It's super good-looking, I hope my ancestors will become dragons, and their descendants will be like their ancestors, and they will take care of the whole process 😂 😂 😂 The author is simply a beet.
After reading this time-space ancestor novel that made me laugh out loud, I struck a soul blow at the ceiling: It turns out that the most fun time traveler has is not to rewrite history, but to open the ancestors as blind boxes! 1. The magic modification scene of history textbooks The author's posture of rewriting the Twenty-Four Histories using Zu An's quotations reminded me of the excitement of secretly reading "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" in history class. When Chen Cheng removed Xiang Yu's thigh and used it as an "ancestral sacred object", the author seemed to see Sima Qian's coffin clanking in the sky over the Chu-Han battlefield - how could this be a separate leg? Apparently they added "Xiang Yu's Broken Leg Survival Chapter" to "Historical Records" overnight! The most amazing part is the Zhulu Rebellion, where the protagonist transforms into a teacher of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty and makes a fool of himself. The author instantly understood what "knowledge changes destiny" means. When Empress Dowager Dou trembled while holding the "Book of Filial Piety", the author finally understood: It turns out that the four words "exclusive power of relatives" in the history books concealed the scenes of social death of many ancestors who were about to give up. 2. Hard-core operations of the ancestor training game Different from the traditional ancestral style, this novel turns blood inheritance into an open world RPG. The "attribute cards" loaded by the protagonist to the ancestors are truly unique: Xiang Yu version: Critical hit rate +50%, but the triggering condition is "When being slashed, you must shout, 'Is there such an operation?'" Han Wen Emperor Edition: The passive skill "Wen Jing Zhi" needs to complete the hidden task of "Tasting Hundreds of Herbs" Cai Lun version: The achievement system "Papermaking Master" comes with the ridicule of the century that "it was replaced by TikTok" This idea of digitizing historical figures reminds me of the cool operation of converting internal strength into Bitcoin in "Three Hundred Years of Cultivation as an Immortal and Suddenly Discovering Is a Martial Arts". When the historical process becomes a quantifiable development game, even Queen Mother Lu Pheasant can't help but want to give the protagonist a bad review: "We promised to respect the old and love the young? How come my country has become your stand-alone game?" 3. Hidden bugs in the Space-Time Management Bureau The most impressive setting is the "Historical Correction Power Backlash" that the system prompts after every sexy action of the protagonist. When Chen Cheng stuffed Zhang Liang into Jixia Academy for the "Training Class in Huang Lao's Skills", he turned around and saw Han Xin performing "one-man encirclement and annihilation" in Gaixia. This butterfly effect is comparable to Uncle Wu Zhu's laser eyes in "Celebrating More Than Years" - you never know what tricks your ancestors will use the BUFF you give them. The most outrageous thing is the bloodline curse setting: the ancestors who have been strengthened will leave records of "their destiny" in the history books. This is like applying a beauty filter to Qin Shihuang, and as a result, "Historical Records" directly turned into a side chapter of "Qin Huang's Bizarre Adventure". When the author saw the Chen Cheng ancestors frantically trying to establish their presence in the history books, I finally realized: It turns out that the Twenty-Four Histories are the earliest collection of Zuan's quotations. 4. Historical deconstruction of contemporary youth On the tightrope of fun and textual research, the author shows the unique historical view of the post-00s generation. When the protagonist complained that "even our ancestors have to conduct KPI assessments these days", and when Cai Lun of the Eastern Han Dynasty saw that papermaking was regarded as an "antique blind box" by his ancestors, this kind of cultural collision across time and space perfectly reproduced the characteristics of Generation Z that "everything can be fun". Especially when the protagonist was broadcasting live to his ancestors, the barrage of "666" and "Zuan pianist applied to play" floated by, turning the serious historical scene into a sealed performance by Deyun Club in an instant. This kind of deconstruction is not a spoof, but a re-measurement of history using contemporary thinking. Just like in the book, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said, "What is this? Is it more strange than Zhang Qian's passage to the Western Regions?" When he saw Chen Cheng taking a panoramic view of Weiyang Palace with his mobile phone, which instantly caused sparks to burst out from the collision of civilizations two thousand years ago. 5. Future possibilities of the ancestral stream This novel opens up three new tracks for the ancestor stream. The track of historical magic modification: turning the "Hundred Forums" into the "Tucao Conference", making each ancestor a walking joke. The track of civilization inheritance: using modern thinking to activate traditional skills, such as letting Bi Sheng live broadcast the movable type printing. The track of time and space paradox: when the ancestors awaken their self-awareness and start to control the protagonist in reverse, the plot will enter "The Terminator" "Ancestor-grandson battle" is just like the end of the book. When Chen Cheng discovered that his ability to travel was actually an ancestor's test subject, the entire story completed the quantum entanglement from "I control my ancestors" to "My ancestors control me." This kind of narrative that breaks the fourth wall reminds the author of Zhang Ruochen's return one hundred thousand years later in "Eternal God Emperor" - it turns out that in the long history, we are each other's generator of Zu'an quotations. When I closed the page, I looked at myself in the mirror, who had stayed up late and was bald, and suddenly felt that this was not another form of "ancestral flow"? Aren't we using short videos, emoticons, and barrages to write the "Twenty-Four Histories" of this era? When the post-00 generation began to use "Jue Juezi" to interpret "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" and "Shuan Q" to translate "The Analects of Confucius", this novel has already predicted the latest posture of civilization inheritance: history is not a little girl who can be dressed up, but a Switch game console that everyone can use.
It is the pinnacle of Tomato writing history. It is remarkable just for daring to be biased towards history. The key is that the writing is so good. Whether it is character portrayal, plot coherence, and rationality, it is all done very well. I read it from 12 o'clock in the evening to the morning, but it was still not enough 😢
It's well written and has depth. When I read the title, I thought it was a very superficial story about the rise of a noble family, but the content is deep, and coupled with the protagonist's cheats, as long as the protagonist maintains his original intention, it really feels like a sage, Yongzhi.
The writing is very good, and the author has his own thoughts in it, not just reading. The personal charm of each character is well reflected. It is not a rigid single-line composition. Everyone is intertwined with each other. I am in you, and you are in me. Various events are connected with each other to form a picture of rights.
It's good to watch, I recommend watching it, although I think it's a bit ugly when it comes to the Song Dynasty. The protagonist's family has been developing for so long. As a result, after the protagonist leaves, the head of the family can be assassinated and has no reaction. He has to wait until the protagonist comes to fight back. Although it is said to not cause chaos in the world and not to interfere with the dynasty, but after so long development, the emperor has been promoted by the family, and has accumulated reputation for so long, it always feels useless. It only depends on the protagonist's arrival.
It has excellent historical skills, a realistic materialistic historical perspective, and the key writing is very good. It can handle all kinds of ideas. This is definitely a historical article with a score of 9 or above.
Recommended by a 20-year-old bookworm It has the excitement of a refreshing novel, but also can be interspersed with some historical shortcomings. The overall style is a bit funny, and it does not force tragedy to feed the readers origli, nor does it forcibly sublimate certain characters to earn tears. The protagonist is generally quite tenable. The three views are those of good boys in the new era. The family rules emphasize that one can act and sit upright. Overall, there is no poison or romance, so I highly recommend it. Moreover, the author understands one thing very well: Times make heroes, not heroes make times. Knowing this, what he writes is very comfortable. Many times we can only add fuel to the general trend of the times. But now I feel that writing about the Chen family is a bit too exaggerated, but as a refreshing article, it is understandable. The author should know what he wants to write, and hopes to finish it as soon as possible.
Very good, the grasp of history is very good, but I really want to know how to avoid being killed using family trees when the Huang Chao uprising comes.
Highly recommended! The protagonist will travel through time and space and "become" his ancestors. The first time he traveled through time and came to the Chu-Han War, he successfully repaid Liu Bang's favor and took the first step out of a thousand-year-old family. Relying on the knowledge reserve of liberal arts students, the protagonist's emotional intelligence, and the family's development in the past few decades, the protagonist abruptly changed Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's "Battle Royale" game from hell mode to difficult mode 🤦. The author also interspersed his own understanding of some historical events in the book, as well as some key events. The author imitated the format of history books and recorded things in classical Chinese. Well, it feels like doing Chinese homework. . . Later I found out that the author is actually a teacher. No wonder the writing is so "literary". I stayed up late to finish it. Now the book has just updated more than 100 chapters. I can guarantee that this book will be absolutely popular and the future is promising 👍👍👍
