In 1937, deep in the Dunhuang Gobi, a sandstorm swallowed up the heaven and earth, dragging an archaeological team from Yenching University into an unknown and mysterious cave. Here, they discovered a strange scroll that was immortal for thousands of years - the back of the scroll was actually painted with ancient runes and covered with shimmering mineral powder. What's even more shocking is that this powder turned out to be high-purity uranium!
This is no simple archaeological discovery, but a door to a forbidden place. The compass is out of control, the murals are in tears, and ancient whispers are echoing in the ears... This scroll contains "ancient black technology" and points to the royal tomb where the ultimate secret of the Xixia Dynasty is said to be buried.
However, they are not the only ones keeping an eye on this secret. The Japanese invaders, the mysterious Black Lotus Sect, and all forces gathered like sharks smelling blood. What they are chasing is the ultimate power deep in the royal tomb that can distort time and achieve "eternity" - a taboo object called the "Key of Time."
What shocked the archaeological team even more was that the young assistant in the team, Zhang Mingyuan, was extremely sensitive to this power. His physique seemed to be the "living key" that unlocked the secrets of the royal tomb and carried the "key of time"!
Under the siege and interception of many forces, and under the ancient and mysterious eyes of the guardians of the royal tombs, the archaeological team was forced to break into this living tomb. When the door that had been covered in dust for thousands of years suddenly opened amidst the gunfire, what came out was not decay, but blue energy that could swallow everything...
Can this ordinary archaeological team survive this conspiracy and struggle that spans thousands of years? What kind of truth is hidden under the Xixia royal tombs that subverts our perceptions?
