Those Who Form Bonds Are All Chinese Cultural Relics

In the year 1314 of the New Star Calendar, Earth, humanity's home planet, which had been sealed away for a thousand years, finally saw the light of day again. At the same time, the Federation announced the Earth Cup, a competitive league. Only teams that passed the selection process would earn the right to set foot on Earth, their home planet, and obtain the source power best suited for forming a pact with humanity through the competition. The qualifiers drew plenty of attention: "Fire is the strongest offensive element!" "Ever heard of water beating fire? Water is invincible." "We wind users have nothing to say. We just keep slicing the air~" "Then why don't you all fly and stay off the ground? Earth is the source of all things!" "If you ask me, compared with mutated elements, everyone here is trash~" "...Is no one rooting for the Artifact element?" "Stop joking, buddy. What use is the Artifact element against the mighty forces of nature? I'll bet every Artifact pact-maker gets eliminated in the first round!" "+1." "+1." But no one expected that the Artifact element, the one everyone had least faith in, would show strength in the competition that rivaled the elemental branches. They weren't alone. They were a team of gifted competitors. And the things they formed pacts with weren't ordinary artifacts, but Chinese cultural relics bearing thousands of years of cultural heritage and spiritual power. Ming Cheng had been reborn. In his previous life, he had listened to others' misleading advice and abandoned his identity as an Artifact pact-maker, once a source of pride, forcing himself to become an elemental pact-maker instead. He made it into the main competition and reached Earth. Again and again, he had rejected the national treasures that were compatible with him. Yet when mortal danger came, it was those treasures, carrying the soul of the nation, that stepped forward to protect him. They were also the ones who used their remaining power to turn back time and give him another chance at life. So in this life, he will resolutely follow the path etched into his blood and lead the artifacts that carry the power of an ancient spirit, letting them shine once more in the world. After the league, the Artifact pact-maker team that won the championship, along with the cultural relics they had formed pacts with, became famous across the universe. In response to invitations from planets across the galaxy asking them to come for "exhibitions," Ming Cheng solemnly replied: Sorry, all the relics I have pacts with are forbidden from leaving the country. We don't lend them out~ Theme: The flame of cultural heritage will never die
