Lin Yu was just an ordinary history student. While working the night shift at the provincial museum, he found a fragment of a heavenly book inside a bronze sacred tree.
The book said: The primordial world has shattered.
The Heavenly Court, once the administrator of all creation, had broken into countless fragments scattered across innumerable small worlds. Earth, where Lin Yu lived, was just one unremarkable fragment among them.
This heavenly book was the Records of All Things in Heaven and Earth, left behind by the primordial Heavenly Court. But it, too, had shattered.
Other people’s golden fingers assigned missions, granted cultivation, and handed out rewards.
His heavenly book did nothing but silently display a line whenever he came to understand something:
“Record completion: +1%.”
Others cultivated with techniques and pills.
Lin Yu cultivated by haunting museums, poring over ancient books, studying oracle bone script, researching the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and joining archaeological expeditions in the northwest.
He reached Qi Refining by understanding a single bronze artifact.
He established his foundation by grasping the Dao De Jing.
His Golden Core formed when he understood a carved mark on a jade cong from four thousand years ago.
He had never thought of fighting or competing for anything.
He simply came to understand the world in silence, restoring the heavenly book’s pages stroke by stroke.
Until one day, the book’s restoration reached more than fifty percent.
An ancient consciousness from the primordial world awoke deep within Kunlun.
It said: You have finally come.
Only then did Lin Yu realize:
The heavenly book fragments had never chosen their owner by chance.
And the path he had taken to understand the world led to one destination: rebuilding the primordial world.
“My name is Lin Yu. Lin as in ‘woods,’ Yu as in ‘universe.’”
“Maybe that’s why.”
