Civilization Chronology: The Antiquity Era

Conventional weapons freeze en masse. Antiques become "anchors" that awaken historical figures, while the length of time a civilization has endured is converted directly into overwhelming "potential." Sumerian kings command rivers, ancient Egyptian pharaohs summon sandstorms, and civilizations from prehistory seek to wipe out younger peoples and divide the world among themselves.

Lin Yan, a Chinese graduate student in archaeology, accidentally binds himself to a Liangzhu jade cong and awakens the Jade God, who has slept for five thousand years. He becomes a successor to Huaxia civilization. On the banks of the Yellow River, the jade disk of the Yellow Emperor shines with dazzling light, and Qin Shi Huang awakens with his Terracotta Army. Within the Huaxia camp, Confucian and Legalist factions clash and ancient tribal feuds intertwine. Beyond its borders, it must face the iron hooves of the prehistoric alliance and the struggle for influence among Western civilizations.

As the memories of civilization become the foundation of survival and clashes between antiques decide humanity's fate, Lin Yan and his companions will connect the network of anchors spanning three thousand years of Huaxia history and unite forces for justice across the globe. They will break the iron law that "historical longevity equals absolute power" through "diversity and integration." Amid clashing blades and colliding civilizations, they will protect the spark of human civilization and usher in a new era in which all peoples can coexist.
