Blurb:
Spiritual qi revival is imminent. Supernatural phenomena are occurring more and more frequently, and humanity is once again embarking on the path of cultivation.
A plan concerning the survival of Huaguo, and even all of humanity, was proposed in Ranyi decades ago. To support its implementation, cultivators in Huaguo established the Special Administration Bureau and founded the country's first cultivation school. Their mission was to fight evil beings and protect the people and the nation as they awaited the plan's beginning.
In the year 2374 of the New Calendar, Huaguo witnessed the awakening of its first Chinese god.
Ranyi's Dreamless Pavilion is renowned as the Nine Immortals Who Question Dreams. It is said that its pavilion master is immortal and has long since become a god. Some in the know boldly claim that living on Ranyi Mountain can extend one's lifespan and grant immortality. The pavilion master once personally debunked the rumor, but was dismissed as an ignorant child.
Decades ago, the first signs of spiritual qi revival brought enormous changes to the mortal world. The pavilion master invoked divine power to question the future in a dream, and discovered a terrifying answer. As the foremost of the Four Seasons Gods, the pavilion master led the other gods into reincarnation, hoping to glimpse a chance for humanity to survive.
They all pretended to be ordinary people and enrolled in a cultivation school, using missions as an excuse to carry out great deeds that no one could know about...
The age of cultivation through technology has arrived. What flies in the sky is no longer just airships, but also the dragons belonging to the gods. People thought cultivation was the ultimate achievement of technology, only to discover that the gods were the real endpoint. Someone made a wish at Dreamless Pavilion to meet a god, and that very night, a branch in their dream gave them a thorough beating.
There aren't many reincarnated gods, yet you can find them everywhere at the cultivation school. Now that mortals know gods exist, the school has added a new announcement to its final exam broadcasts: Please do not use divine power during exams. Anyone caught doing so will have their exam results canceled. Thank you for your cooperation, and good luck passing every exam.
In a futuristic world of technological cultivation: a cold, taciturn, absurdly powerful male lead who throws himself into work and is hopelessly lovestruck, and a female lead who would rather sit than stand, can barely be bothered to speak, and doesn't want to use even one of her eight hundred schemes.
