I Wrote Bugs in Yin Shang, Making the Gods Crash from the Start

Modern programmer Lin Zhao accidentally falls into the Shang dynasty, three thousand years in the past. From the start, he’s trapped in a human-sacrifice pit and about to be slaughtered as an offering to the “Celestial Emperor.”

In this blood-soaked age, where divine authority reigns supreme and human lives are worth less than grass, he despairingly discovers that the knowledge and logic he once took pride in are worthless here.

Until... he finds a “bug” in the way this world works.

Oracle-bone inscriptions are a kind of “code,” sacrificial rites are an “algorithm,” and the lofty “Celestial Emperor” seems to be an ancient server that needs to be “kept running” with human lives...

“If the world is one giant program, then I’m the only programmer!”

And so a “variable” from the twenty-first century begins to bring a crushing technological advantage to the entire Bronze Age.

He uses “binary” to crack divine oracles and “infinite loops” to drive priests mad. He forges a deadly pact with a cold high priest and the ravenous wolves of Xiqi, rising step by step from an ant at the bottom of a sacrificial pit to a man determined to “reinstall the system” of the gods!

But in the end, he discovers that the true nature of this “god” is far more terrifying than he imagined...
