   This book is truly excellent. The author put a lot of thought into the descriptions of the primitive environment, including saber-toothed tigers, mammoths, harsh weather, and the naked survival of the fittest among tribes, creating a genuine sense of savagery. The protagonist's survival process is very realistic, such as the difficulty of starting a fire for the first time and the excitement of obtaining salt; these details make the reader feel immersed. Later, as the tribe develops, they begin farming, metallurgy, and city building, and the evolution of civilization is very engaging. However, in some parts, the protagonist's plot armor is a bit too strong, always managing to resolve crises in time, but as a light novel, this is understandable. The following is a summary of the original book: [Primitive + Multiple Female Leads + Farming + Bloodline Awakening] He attempted suicide by jumping off a building, but his soul transmigrated to the primitive world! When he lit the first flame of civilization, the savagery began to tremble! He created bows and arrows, striking fear into the hearts of enemy soldiers wielding stone spears; he fired pottery, earning the worship of his tribe; he smelted bronze, breaking the shackles of the old era. He was a modern man driven to his death by a terminal illness, a "divine messenger" who saved the Bailu clan, and a witch king who awakened the bloodline of the twelve ancestral witches! Behind him were gentle twin flowers, a charming female clan leader, and a heroic female general... Step by step, he used technology and force to take control of the world and create the first golden age of mankind.
