Earth scientist Lu Chen is unexpectedly summoned to Tianqiong Star, an alien world where a cultivation civilization and a feudal dynasty coexist. Its natives and transmigrators have waged a vendetta for generations because of the “Demon Emperor's Curse,” leaving civilization stagnant. Using his scientific ingenuity to awaken his talent, Lu Chen turns the tables on his pursuers in a desperate situation. The Grand Princess of the Tianqiong Kingdom takes notice of him and brings him into the imperial court.
As he ventures deeper into the heart of power, Lu Chen discovers that the demon race is behind everything. They use the curse to manipulate the hatred between the two peoples and draw strength from it. Just as he and the Grand Princess begin to fall for each other, radical transmigrators launch a rebellion, and conservative ministers seize the chance to make their move. Cornered after falling off a cliff, Lu Chen unexpectedly obtains the ancient “Human Emperor's Legacy” and awakens the power to command all races.
Returning to the battlefield, Lu Chen unites the two peoples into a coalition army and, with the Grand Princess's support, unravels the mystery of the curse. After ferocious battles, including the defense of the imperial capital and a raid on the demon race's lair, he finally slays the Demon Emperor at the “Peak of the Firmament,” ending the thousand-year curse. After the war, he promotes the integration of technology and cultivation, establishing an interstellar civilization.
When the Xuanming Star fleet invades, Lu Chen, now a Star Alliance leader, leads his army to meet them, only to discover that the enemy commander is the ancient fiend “Demon Lord Black Abyss.” During the fierce battle, Lu Chen falls into an alternate dimension and is rescued by the advanced civilization known as the Star Alliance. There, he learns that the universe is facing the threat of a periodic “Great Purge.”
To save all civilizations, Lu Chen initiates the “Reboot Protocol.” He and the Grand Princess bear the backlash together and fall into a deep sleep. Ten years later, they awaken...

The inspiration for this work stemmed from a groundbreaking reflection on traditional cultivation novels and science fiction. The discovery that cultivation civilization and technological civilization are often treated as separate entities sparked the creative impulse to consider "what kind of sparks would fly if an Earth scientist awakened in a cultivation world."
The descriptions of festivals and celebrations showcase the unique cultural characteristics of various civilizations. The Earth Spring Festival, the Celestial Star Spirit Festival, and the Radiant Clan's Light Ceremony—these celebrations are a concentrated display of the soul of each civilization.
A perfect blend of science fiction and cultivation, with a novel and unconventional setting.
The world-building unfolds layer by layer, from the celestial planets to the interstellar universe, creating an epic feel.
The transmigrator comes with his own knowledge system, technological analysis of the cultivation system, and clear "golden finger" (cheat code) appeal. 👍👍
Personal happiness stems from connection with the world. Lu Chen finds happiness in helping others and building civilization; this view of happiness is positive, healthy, and has practical guiding significance.
The establishment of civilization protection zones demonstrates a balance between protection and development. It does not mean forcibly modernizing all primitive civilizations, but rather respecting their right to autonomous development.
Supporting characters' choices in the face of crisis define their character. Some stand firm, some betray; these choices allow the characters to reveal their true nature in crucial moments.
The warnings of civilization extinction have real-world relevance. Overexploitation, internal divisions, and uncontrolled technology—these causes of extinction serve as a stark warning for human civilization.
The agreement on cultural contact has practical reference value. How to avoid culture shock, how to protect vulnerable civilizations, and how to build mutual trust—these first-type contact issues—are addressed professionally.
