   Reader note

   Highly recommended! The author meticulously describes the primitive environment, including saber-toothed tigers, mammoths, harsh weather, and the stark reality of survival of the fittest among tribes, creating a truly primal atmosphere. The protagonist's survival process is very realistic, from the difficulty of starting a fire for the first time to the excitement of obtaining salt—these details make the reader feel involved. Later, as the tribe develops, engaging in agriculture, metallurgy, and city building, the evolution of civilization is very engaging. However, the protagonist's plot armor is a bit too strong in some places, always managing to resolve crises in time, but as a light novel, this is understandable. Here is the book's synopsis: [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 wilderness trembled! He created bows and arrows, striking fear into the hearts of enemy soldiers wielding stone spears; he fired pottery, earning the worship of his people; 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.
