    In 2077 AD, Lin Tianyi, a cultural relic restorer, touched a mural in the Dunhuang caves and glimpsed a shocking secret: the ultimate sacred objects of all religions pointed to a forgotten origin. Lin Tianyi embarked on a journey of redemption, traversing the polar regions and Wall Street. This was not merely an adventure to find sacred objects, but also an ultimate interpretation of the "Tao": all religions lead to one, different paths lead to the same destination. The true miracle lies in the all-encompassing, ever-renewing "Great Tao." This story uses the "Tao" as its thread and "Virtue" as its foundation, deeply integrating science fiction with Eastern philosophy, aiming to convey to the world that true progress in civilization is not about conquest and control, but about returning—returning to nature, returning to one's true self, returning to the Great Tao that is "continuous and ever-present, yet effortlessly utilized."

    I don't know if this will suit your taste. This novel has a slow-burn plot and is a thought-provoking fantasy novel. The protagonist is a genius at the beginning, vengeful, and decisive. The early style is more realistic, but it shifts to a different style after the setting changes. It differs from current mainstream popular fantasy masterpieces. The main storyline downplays the protagonist's romance, focusing instead on the protagonist's exciting life journey, from an ordinary mortal to awakening dragon blood and gradually finding his destiny. Also, this author is rather lazy; they update daily, but not many chapters each day, indicating they are still a newbie.
