I Picked Up a Black Stone and Became the World's Secret Mastermind

That Mid-Autumn Festival, there was a black stone.

Silver patterns flowed across its surface, concealing a treasure trove of information called the Heavenly Scrolls' Secret Pavilion. It contained everything from celebrities secretly having children to the Pentagon's top-secret budgets, and every secret from the billions of years of the universe.

After activating the pavilion, I became its seventy-third master. I opened the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion to sell global secrets at clearly marked prices, with no discrimination between rich and poor. I founded God's Library and shifted the international balance of power, making the powerful nations scramble to buy exclusive rights to secrets. I exposed academic plagiarism, supported the development of lithography machines, and turned around to upend the pricing conspiracy of the four major grain merchants.

Some call me the emperor of the dark web, controlling the lifelines of the world. Others fear that I know everything and want me dead. But no one knows that I'm just a history student who wants to protect my family and my country.

It wasn't until spiritual qi revival and strange phenomena began to appear, and an Earth-like planet seventeen light-years away came to light, that I understood: the black stone my grandfather had never dared touch held more than the secrets of the human world. It also held the key to the evolution of human civilization.
