On the battlefield of civilizations, where all races clash,
the God Race commands the laws of nature, its might bearing down on every corner of the world;
the Demon Race wields the ultimate truths, devouring star seas and primordial chaos;
the Dragon Race suppresses the world with its true name, while the Machine Race ascends to godhood through quantum power;
the Insect Race devours stars and multiplies...
The myriad races of the heavens and worlds display their full might, all mocking humanity for having no gods or immortals and a feeble civilization.
Yet they know nothing of humanity’s hidden foundations, all contained within twelve academic disciplines!
Chu Lan ascends as the totem of human civilization, wielding the origin of the Way of Letters. His voice resounds through the heavens:
“At the summit of learning, I reign supreme. First came language arts, then came the heavens!”
A single Memorial on Sending Off the Expedition summons loyal souls from across the ages to safeguard humanity’s peace for eternity.
A song of Bring in the Wine gathers the heroic spirit of a thousand generations, as the swordlike force of poetry and wine sweeps across the cosmos!
At the end of the sea of learning, who stands at the peak? One glimpse of physics, and the Way itself fades away!
A single law of universal gravitation binds all gods and demons across the heavens;
one principle of energy conservation defines the origins of all things!
Mathematics lays out the cosmic coordinates: one number determines heaven and earth, one calculation decides the rise and fall of nations.
Chemistry commands the origins of matter: one thought shapes myriad forms, one instant gives rise to heaven and earth.
This world has no spiritual roots or immortal bones, no battle qi or divine powers.
Only the principles of civilization can shatter the firmament.
The myriad races contend, their civilizations devouring one another.
The losers’ civilizations are extinguished; the victors ascend to the highest throne.
Every race forges its path to the Great Dao from its own cultural legacy.
Humanity alone supports its civilization with twelve academic disciplines!
Bearing the vast rivers of all twelve disciplines, Chu Lan looks down on the heroes of countless worlds and declares in a ringing voice:
“Chu Lan, examinee from Blue Star, invites every race of the heavens and worlds to take the exam!”
The pace is a bit slow. I like the character of Lin Xueqing. Huniu 🤔. The system of knowledge is power has not been developed yet. At present, the academic souls of history, physical education, Chinese and mathematics have not been shown much.
