Across 197 countries, each nation’s fate rests on a single person, sent into a forbidden arena to compete. Their honors and shame are shared by all.
While the Chosen Ones of other countries wield S-rank divine talents, summoning mechs and commanding demonic dragons, Lin Feng, China’s Chosen One, drew only the supposedly useless F-rank talent: [Seed of Civilization].
This talent can’t strengthen him. Its sole function is to “pass on knowledge.”
Amid the jeers of viewers around the world, Lin Feng, an archaeologist, found a primitive man named “Ying” in the forbidden zone and lit the flame of civilization.
While contestants from other countries still ate raw meat and reveled in their personal strength, Lin Feng’s tribe had already built pottery kilns and begun casting bronze.
While the forces of other countries were mired in savage warfare, Lin Feng was explaining Legalist philosophy to the future First Emperor and establishing the order of a dynasty.
A theocracy uses “miracles” to deceive the people? Lin Feng uses reason and empirical investigation to expose them on the spot, shaking the foundations of their faith.
A mechanical army rampages unchecked? Lin Feng sets up Mohist mechanisms and Bagua formations, trapping the enemy in an invisible net.
Gods and demons descend from the heavens to unleash divine punishment? Lin Feng reshapes Chinese mythology, rallying the people’s faith that “man can conquer nature,” gathering the golden dragon of national destiny, and building the Great Wall to protect all living things!
This is a story about knowledge crushing divine power.
Wielding the wisdom of the Hundred Schools of Thought as his sword and Chinese history as his shield, he starts from nothing in another world and forges an unprecedented supreme civilization!
