A secret history sealed in bronze. A clash of civilizations spanning time and space.
In 2025, Sanxingdui archaeology makes a groundbreaking discovery. But the moment the brilliant archaeologist Lin Yuan and the mysterious restorer Su Ya touch the “tortoise-shell grid device,” blinding light swallows everything. They do not return to the past. Instead, they fall into a prehistoric world that overturns everything they know: the ancient Shu kingdom, where divine authority reigns supreme.
Here, the bronze sacred tree reaches for the stars, and golden masks communicate with the gods. Their knowledge, far beyond its time, earns them the title of “deities,” but draws them deeper into the whirlpool of theocratic politics. The high priest Wu Xian's suspicions, King Yufu's ambitions, and threats from neighboring tribes make every step perilous. But they soon discover an even more terrifying truth hidden behind the ancient Shu civilization:
The so-called “miracles” are technological imprints left by ancient extraterrestrial “Observers.” The so-called “sacrifices” are actually part of a civilization-monitoring experiment that has continued for millennia. And the Observers' fleet is about to arrive once more, not to protect the planet, but to ruthlessly “harvest” it.
For their survival and their home, Lin Yuan and Su Ya must make a choice. Will they follow the tide of history and become a silent footnote, or rise up in defiance and become fire-bringers for civilization?
They walk the line between myth and reality, unravel the mysteries of the bronze sacred tree, and gather the lost artifacts. They must also overcome tribal divisions and unite the early states of Shang, Ba, Shu, and others, forging scattered, spark-like tribal civilizations into the beginnings of “Huaxia.” With the will of an entire civilization, they will launch a grand, decisive confrontation against the “twin suns” hanging high overhead!
