When eight billion humans transmigrated to another world, they became lords.
Magic and battle aura were recognized as paths to godhood, and individual might became the only truth.
Yet Lin Chen chose the trash-tier talent rated E: [Seeds of Civilization].
While others recruited dragons, chanted forbidden spells, and kindled divine fire,
he quietly lit a different path:
[Basic Physics], [Mass Production], [Public Health Systems], [The Social Contract]...
And so, the whole world began to change:
A beast tide at the gates? Barbed wire and Maxim guns teach the beasts to line up and get shot.
A forbidden spell threatens to destroy the world? Radio jamming and ballistic calculations turn mages blind.
A divine kingdom descends? Broadcast towers play On Scientific Methodology and Atheism around the clock.
Starting with digging trenches and building crossbows,
he establishes schools, drafts laws, lays railways, and kindles the fire of industry.
He uses assembly lines to challenge craft guilds, parliamentary government to overthrow noble rule, and vaccines to destroy plague-worshipping cults.
When his former rivals finally ascend to godhood and cast an indifferent glance down from the clouds,
they discover that upon the earth
steel cities spread like forests, railways span the continent, airships patrol the skies, and the muzzles of a hundred thousand heavy guns slowly rise, aimed at the heavens.
“You say individuals ascend, while civilizations endure?”
Standing on the top floor of the Academy of Sciences, Lin Chen pushes up his glasses.
“Then let’s see whether you become a god first, ”
“or my civilization writes the inscription for your tomb first.”
This is a story about the spark of civilization, reason, and unyielding resolve.
It is an epic about a civilization rolling the dice on the board of gods and demons, then flipping over the entire table.
