Shen Qingya, the youngest academician at the Huaxia Institute of Genetic Research, was imprisoned on charges of treason.
At the tribunal, the Federation's chief executive declared, "Shen Qingya, your research overturns human history. Your crimes are unforgivable."
The laboratory doors were forced open, and all research materials related to the "Huaxia Genetic Lock" were classified as forbidden.
Yet late that same night, a top-security convoy arrived at the prison in secret.
"Academician Shen," the visitor said, his voice trembling, "please interpret the newly unearthed bamboo slips of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. They record... gods and a great flood."
