After a Thousand Years Studying the Stele, I Command the Mountains and Rivers

In ancient times, heaven and earth first took shape, and gods and demons coexisted. After the divine wars, the gods fell and humanity rose. Now the Great Yin Dynasty is nearing its end, with flames of war along the borders and strange phenomena appearing everywhere. While pursuing horse thieves, Ji Chuan, a low-ranking frontier soldier, found a bronze fragment bearing a remnant of the “Mountains and Rivers” inscription in an ancient temple. By chance, he gained the ability to read stone steles. This power lets him see the memories of gods, detect demonic aura, and even read the memories of the dead. With it, he solves cases in the army, exposes conspiracies, and navigates conflicts among the various factions. While others struggle to survive in these chaotic times, Ji Chuan grows ever stronger. In the end, he sacrifices half his soul to suppress the Underworld, reforges the Mountains and Rivers Seal, and becomes the one who sets the course of the world and writes the opening of a new era.
