The Greatest Tribute in History

This book tells the story of the period before Qi established the Xia Dynasty. It draws on archaeological findings while also adding elements of historical fiction. In homage to the music, movies, literature, and other works that accompanied people born in the 1980s as they grew up through difficult times, the story is set on the continent of Longxiu in a parallel universe. The various tribes belong to five great alliances: Fuxi, Shennong, Gonggong, Suiren, and Jiuli. Each cultivates Xiu Patterns centered on one of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Tribe members are ranked by their combined strength as Xiu Scholars, Xiu Masters, Great Xiu Masters, Xiu Venerables, Xiu Sects, Xiu Sages, Xiu Kings, Legendary Xiu, and Imperial Xiu. The protagonist transmigrates into Qi and follows his father, Yu the Great, as he divides the land into nine provinces and casts the Nine Tripods, achieving the supreme fruit of Xiu.
