The world’s top experts are stumped by an ancient stone tablet. AI and quantum computers have both failed.
No one knows that Cheng Yan, an obscure linguistics PhD expelled from Cambridge, can see at a glance:
These aren’t words. They’re the cultivation source code left behind by an immortal!
Others cultivate through sudden enlightenment. He does it by working through formulas.
The day he livestreams himself drawing in qi, the whole world goes wild:
Cultivation isn’t superstition. It’s advanced technology from a superior civilization!
The nation urgently launches the “Civilization Transformation Project,” with him as the brains behind it.
Foreign spies scramble to infiltrate, while major powers maneuver in the shadows.
Cheng Yan sneers:
Want to steal it? First ask whether my code, written to wield the laws of heaven and earth, will let you.
When science meets cultivation, and mortals face civilizations from beyond the stars,
he will wield knowledge as his sword and talismanic symbols as his code,
restarting humanity’s age of cultivation!
A very good novel, refreshing, with a unique perspective, profound knowledge, deeply beneficial and thought-provoking.
