   First of all, mythology and the prehistoric era are not the same thing. This set is set in the prehistoric era. Warnings⚠️. 1️⃣ This is the best book about the human race, or rather, Emperor Xin, in the prehistoric era! The author is very good at weaving in various folk customs. An invincible story, the rise of the human race. 2️⃣ No awkwardness about the Six Sages. Western perspective. 3️⃣ It follows the route of spiritual energy feedback, a "good guy" series, good for understanding the prehistoric system. But the thought process is a bit questionable. Sweet dog literature. 4️⃣ 1.4 Billion compatriots join the banner to fleece the prehistoric world~ There are also a lot of flaws, such as realistic characters who are marginalized, and a female lead, but this book explains the Great Dao and Laws very clearly, which is rare in the prehistoric era, making it a good book. (Many prehistoric era stories fall apart in the end because of this, because the author didn't continue the deduction.)
