Divinity awakens across the world, and the Western gods descend. Yet the land of Huaxia remains silent. The taunt that “Huaxia has no gods” rings across the world.
No one knows that Huaxia isn't without gods. It has so many that they have slept for five thousand years.
Lin Xingyi, a restorer of ancient books and descendant of the last guardians of the sacred texts, awakens the Heavenly Emperor System in humanity's darkest hour. He commands 136 million Huaxian deities. From Mount Tai to Kunlun, from ancient primordial gods to local deities and city gods, the gods return to their places, their voices shaking the cosmos.
But the gods' return is only the beginning.
Three thousand six hundred ancient seals are crumbling. Imprisoned within them are the “viruses” that destroyed civilizations in the previous era: the Divine Machinery Civilization, the Spirit Cultivation Civilization, the Rune Civilization, and more. They are trying to return and make history repeat itself.
Before every seal shatters, Lin Xingyi must lead billions of gods in building an impassable firewall to protect five thousand years of civilization.
This is a battle fought side by side by gods and humans, and a civilization's declaration to every era:
Gods may sleep, but civilization will never perish.
