Chu Ci, the eighty-year-old master of traditional Chinese painting, passed away alone in an era when culture was extremely poor and art was completely replaced by algorithms. He has never seen any talent in his life, and he only has the skills to slay dragons, but he can only watch the treasures of civilization being buried in the impetuous dust.
When he opened his eyes again, he was back to his twenty-year-old college days.
This world seems to be the same as the previous life, but it is different in key points - those poems and songs, paintings and music that should have been brilliant have either never appeared in this world, or have been lost long ago, leaving only some vague records. Civilization has broken down.
At the same time, an existence named [Causal Weaving System] awakened deep in his soul.
It does not issue tasks or provide shopping malls. It only presents "knots of cause and effect" to Chu Ci.
The "power of cause and effect" can analyze everything in the world, trace lost skills, and even... Reshape reality.
Chu Ci smiled.
In his previous life, he watched helplessly as civilization withered.
In this life, he will hold the pen as a sword and the ink as light.
From an ancient poem that no one can understand, to a picture that shocked the world; from a song that lingered for three days, to a movie that created an era.
Chu Ci has to do more than just stand on top of the world.
He wants to make this broken civilization great again.
He wants the whole world to shine because of him.
