I Extend the Ancestral Dragon's Life, and Carry On China's Legacy

Lu Chen was obsessed with pre-Qin history, especially the pursuit of secret histories from before the Zhou dynasty. During a visit to the First Emperor’s mausoleum, he accidentally activated an ancient bronze slip and transmigrated to the final years of Qin Shi Huang’s reign. Once he arrived in that era, he discovered that beyond what the history books recorded, pre-Qin alchemists who cultivated qi had truly existed. Their traditions had long since been lost, and behind the fangshi’s search for immortality and the emperor’s eastern tours and sacrifices lay the dying embers of an ancient legacy stretching back thousands of years.

To prolong the First Emperor’s life and uncover the mystery behind the end of Huaxia’s cultivation, Lu Chen traveled back through time from Qin, searching for the lost treasures of the Zhou, Shang, and Xia dynasties and restoring the tradition of qi cultivation. But as history was rewritten step by step, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang also took the stage as “rewriters of history.” With fate, the empire, and the secrets of antiquity bearing down on him all at once, he finally understood that what he had to save was never just the Great Qin.
