On the day the sacred tree was activated, the cultural relics my dad had repaired lit up.
I am Lin Jian, an ordinary restorer who repairs cultural relics in Sanxingdui. I thought this would be like this for the rest of my life - my family was in decline, my father was missing, and I relied on my crafts to make ends meet.
Until that day, the bronze sacred tree in the museum suddenly glowed. Global changes occurred, the folded space opened, and legendary beasts reappeared in the world.
Officials came to the door and said that this was the beginning of the "countdown to the experimental site evaluation." They told me: The earth is a Kyushu experimental site set up by advanced civilizations, ancient myths are all operating protocols, and my father's research - the "interference theory of alien civilization" that was ridiculed as a lunatic - is the truth.
I was forced to join the Abnormal Events Investigation Bureau, and teamed up with Jiang Li, a descendant of the Pillar Guards, to embark on a desperate journey to find Buzhou Mountain and decipher the Hetu Luoshu.
But the "Zhulong" organization has long been targeting us. They want to actively embrace the observers and exchange human beings for a superior status in the new era.
And I, a pure human sample who cannot awaken supernatural powers, my only weapons are the black stone flakes and cultural relics inherited from my family.
To rectify the name of the father, or to fight for civilized self-determination?
The sacred tree has lit up and the countdown has begun. This time, it's our turn to define humanity's destiny.
