   A must-read for world-building enthusiasts! The premise of this book is so novel it truly impressed me—it completely reconstructs a seemingly healing world from its very core logic.

   History + imaginative plot + cunning male protagonist + suspense: Throughout the changing seasons and boundless mountains and rivers of this land, countless relics are scattered. Their clues are faintly discernible, yet they remain shrouded in mystery. From the chanting of Brahma in the snowy plains of the Western Regions to the imperial bronzes of the Central Plains; from the broken walls and crumbling steles of the southern frontier to the colorful rock formations of the northern deserts. Behind all this, it seems someone is playing a game of chess, using the entirety of Chinese history as a scoreboard, spanning the ages. This is a silent game of chess, with the mountains and rivers as the board and dynasties as the pieces. The final chapter of the legend has never been written because the story has only just begun. This book is a must-read—absolutely fantastic! The beginning is slow-paced, but the pace quickens later. The places the protagonist and his companions travel to are extremely mysterious, seemingly unattainable. The protagonist is not a saint; his identity is shrouded in mystery. Moreover, the author is very responsible; the more readers there are, the more updates they will produce.
