In 2073, reality and virtuality have reversed. The fully immersive online game Return to the Ruins has become a second battlefield.
Players' in-game strength carries over into reality, and billions around the world compete for supremacy within it.
Chinese player Lin Xiao is reborn on the eve of Return to the Ruins' launch, bringing with him the legacy of his past life.
From the start, he spends a million to secure a limited-edition gaming pod, exploits a fate-altering prophecy to bend the rules, and forges SSS-grade talent and a divine skill for his legion.
He claims the first kill against a legendary demon tiger, seizes a golden village-building order, founds the world's first village, recruits heroes from a chaotic age, and establishes his foundation in just ten days. In a Han realm expanded four hundredfold, he rises with breathtaking force.
But this is only the beginning. He knows that the national war in Return to the Ruins, two years from now, will be the true inferno.
In his previous life, internal strife tore China apart. Surrounded by a coalition of many nations, White Tiger City fell, its soldiers staining the earth with their blood, and the nation's fortunes suffered a crushing blow.
"In my past life, you trampled my homeland. In this one, I'll make you kneel at our gates forever!"
Personal strength is only the prologue.
He will use Xiapi as his base, conquer all corners of the world, forge an army of tigers and wolves, recruit peerless generals, and build an ironclad alliance.
When the national war begins again, he will lead hundreds of millions of Chinese warriors to sweep across the central continent of Return to the Ruins with invincible might, reclaiming the dignity lost in his previous life tenfold, a hundredfold!
Between reality and illusion, atop the throne.
This is one man's comeback, and also an undying expedition by a civilization across a second battlefield.
See how Lin Xiao commands mighty armies and rewrites fate across this vast continent, four hundred times its former size, winning glory for his nation and forging an iron-blooded legend that belongs to every Chinese player!

So far, it seems that the writing is very good and there is no major bad points. It deserves encouragement.
Very good, innovative, at least not as homogeneous as others
It's well written, more vivid than most online game novels, more realistic, and not boring to read.
Quick update, quick update, quick update
A well-written story about hegemony. Goldfinger is also quite interesting.
It's okay. I've been looking for this kind of book for a long time. Don't stop updating it.
Great book. My favorite type. But I want to watch National War. Write faster
