In the world of the near future, alien creations called "Reapers" are approaching the Earth, and their only criterion is the genetic integrity of civilization. When Lin Xuan, an ordinary restorer of ancient books, accidentally triggered the genetic memory of Zheng He sealed in the "Yongle Ceremony", he was involved in the country's top secret "Longyuan Project". It turns out that the five thousand years of Chinese civilization are not just historical texts, but also a power that can be inherited by specific gene carriers. From Gou Jian's "sleeping on fuel to taste courage" to the Qin army's iron-blooded fighting spirit, from Wu Zetian's imperial will to Zheng He's pioneering spirit - the wisdom and strength of historical sages have all turned into civilization genes that can be awakened.
But the crisis doesn't stop at the stars. Under the deep sea, the boundary monument set up by Zheng He during his voyages to the West has become an "anchor" connecting different dimensions, breeding flesh-and-blood monsters; international forces are eyeing it, competing for the beacon of civilization; and the growing genetic pollution in Lin Xuan's body is quietly eroding his will. He must recover the lost fragments of civilization under the watchful eyes of global live broadcasts, find a balance between historical power and self-loss, and face a cruel truth: the real purpose of the "Longyuan Project" may not be to resist destruction, but to lead Chinese civilization... To take the initiative to ascend.
"Throne of Genes" is an urban supernatural work that combines science fiction suspense, historical deconstruction and civilizational game. Here, every genetic awakening resonates with the sages, every battle is the continuation of civilization, and the protagonist is burdened with the answer to the survival of the entire race under the stars.
