My Golden Finger Is Summoning the Ancestors of China

Synopsis:

Seriously ill and close to death, Sheng Xing transmigrates to the interstellar world. Her terminal illness is cured and her supernatural ability awakened, but she also ends up saddled with a massive debt for having her genes repaired, trespassing on (and crashing into) someone else's territory, and damaging their property.

If she can't pay it off within three months, she'll face a sentence of 300 years.

Sheng Xing: ...

I won't even live that long.

To avoid spending the rest of her life in prison, she seizes her last lifeline and signs up for the interstellar survival show Invincible: The Strongest, a competition with ten thousand contestants.

As long as she survives one round of the show, one fifth of her debt will be erased. If she makes it to the end, she'll not only clear her debt, she'll also never have to worry about making ends meet again.

Before the show begins, the contestants' profiles are posted online. Among tens of millions of people, Sheng Xing, whose ability is summoning, seems the most unimpressive.

That is, until from the start she summons two venerable ancestors who look like ordinary humans, yet can cleave alien beasts with one hand, race through the dark to find their lairs, and move freely among hordes of beasts. The audience falls silent.

Are these really the frail, useless natural-born humans they imagined?

People from various dynasties in Huaxia suddenly hear a voice: Sheng Xing is asking for her ancestors' help.

Anyone who answers that voice is transported to a place called the interstellar world.

Li Shimin answers his descendant on a whim, only to be dazzled by countless resources he's never seen before, from miracle medicines and superior crops to weapons. He solemnly pats Sheng Xing on the shoulder. "Young one, I have faith in you. Be sure to call on me for the next round, too."

Sheng Xing has heard the same words from other ancestors, including Ying Zheng, Zhu Di, Wu Zetian, and Zhuge Liang: ...

At first, Sheng Xing only wants to earn enough to repay her debt. But after discovering that the people she summons can take away any resources in the interstellar world, her goal changes: she absolutely has to survive until the next round of the show, summon more ancestors, and score even more resources for them.

Sheng Xing: #I'm useless, but my ancestors aren't

#Every ancestor keeps slipping me a note: summon the people named here

#Another day of winning by lying back behind my ancestors

#Ancestors, come quick! I found something good again
