The stars descend, species mutate, and things once dismissed as fantasy appear on Earth, changing everything. Unknowable beings bring order crashing down, and humanity walks on thin ice until the pioneers rise up in rebellion.
Ye Jingyu, a scholar investigating the existence of gods, sets out to explore this strange and wondrous world with Qin Chu, his childhood friend and lover, and Tang Cheng, their eccentric teacher. They witness the blessings of the Crucible of Life, recall the Eternal Wandering of the Remembrancers, and endure the disasters brought by the divine servants.
In 3012, they reach the closest site yet of a fallen god. Yellow sand fills the air, and golden bones gleam beneath the blue sky.
And then...
“What do we do? Should we take it back?” the three whisper among themselves.
Ye Jingyu opens his eyes to hear that someone has dug him out of the ground, and that he’s ended up more than three thousand years in the future?!
Unheard-of profession systems, strange and wondrous talents, and all kinds of new knowledge swirl together until he’s dizzy. Fortunately, he’s a scholar with a good capacity for learning. At any rate, he should first look for clues about his boyfriend and teacher, and find out what really happened back then.
So Ye Jingyu sets off with his new companions for that strange desert.
But... you, with muscles like that, are telling me you’re a mage?
Talan looks a little embarrassed. “I was born this way. I was born this way.”
Ye Jingyu looks quietly at the Oriental youth among the bones. “Aren’t you a doctor?”
Zhai Xunfeng wipes the blood off his face. “A part-time doctor is still a doctor.”
“And you?” Ye Jingyu asks the upright man beside them. He’s ready to accept whatever the answer is. Lu Yi raises an eyebrow. “Just a traveler.”
After traveling together for months, Ye Jingyu lies in bed wondering if his companions might be a little ridiculous.
Lu, Zhai, and Ta look at the mountain of corpses in front of them and can’t help shouting inwardly: “Which one of us is actually ridiculous?!”
“Didn’t you say you were a scholar?”
Ye Jingyu blinks innocently. “That’s what scholars were like in my time.”
The following are stories from the first few volumes:
Don’t look. Don’t think. Thought is his/her eyes, and knowledge is his/her breeding ground. Once you learn of it, They will awaken.
A man who rises from the dead, people drowned at sea, the whispers of gods murmuring in the mist. What lies hidden in the long-vanished academy?
A ship from a bygone era, rules concealing riddles, lies and truths exchanged over wine, and the unknown past behind twisted monsters.
The me you know, the me I know, the taboos hidden by the sea folk, the past concealed by the gods, love, need, regret: in the end, everything comes down to oneself.
This is a story about a scholar who has mastered every skill traveling across the continent with a strange man who walks through a world in chaos. It follows their adventures, deceptions, and love as they gradually uncover the truths and conspiracies buried in history.

Spoiler alert! By the way, I hope Xunfeng won't die later on? ( ) What you said is a little scary. I just finished watching a story where the main characters had 42 out of 2 characters who survived. [Loading]
