On the night of "The Sound of Candle Shadow and Axe", Zhao Kuangyin did not die.
He was snatched away by a passing alien civilization and forced to sign the "Interstellar Observer Contract": he has a lifespan of three hundred years and can secretly observe the national destiny of the Song Dynasty, but is strictly prohibited from directly intervening in history.
So, he watched helplessly as his younger brother Zhao Guangyi sat on the dragon throne, watched the "Chanyuan Alliance" being signed in front of his eyes, and watched the blood of the shame of Jingkang stain the Bianliang city wall red.
Until he picked up an orphan named Cao Yan who could predict the future.
The golden light flashing in Cao Yan's eyes actually matched the "pioneer gene" that the alien civilization was looking for. The two masters and apprentices, one holds knowledge that transcends the times but is trapped by the shackles of rules, and the other can see fragments of the future but cannot change the fateful trajectory. In the changes from the Northern Song Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty, they became the only "variables" in the dark side of history.
They secretly improved farm tools and saved 100,000 deaths from famine;
They anonymously delivered star maps to help Kou Zhun stabilize the battle situation in Chanyuan;
They even tried to use starlight as a blade to cut off the twelve death-inducing gold medals on the night of Yue Fei's Fengbo Pavilion...
But every fine-tuning consumes Zhao Kuangyin's limited "existence energy."
When the bad news of the destruction of the alien mother planet comes, the source of power is about to be cut off——
Should we abide by the contract and watch indifferently, or should we burn the last spark and forcibly change the fate of Chinese civilization?
