Chinese Gods Shock the Interstellar World

Reborn before the college entrance exam, Fang Zhiyu hasn’t decided whether to make a comeback and get into Peking or Tsinghua University, or buy a lottery ticket worth five million. Then he opens a mock exam and is stunned.

[Which deity commands the moon and tides?]

[Analyze the impact of ancient Greek mythology on modern society in 500 words]

[The rupture in Huaguo’s civilization led to an age of ignorance…]

Fang Zhiyu: “…Is something wrong here?”

*

The Divine Arena descends, and the various interstellar nations compete for their national fortunes.

Western Greek mythology dominates the field. Japan’s Night Parade of One Hundred Demons claims its place, and India’s 33 million deities win by sheer numbers. Only Huaguo has suffered a break in its cultural heritage, languishing near the bottom of the rankings as other nations carve up its fortune.

Huaguo splits into two factions: one wants to excavate ruins and restore its culture, while the other wants to convert to foreign faiths and seek a way to survive.

But to Fang Zhiyu, there is no choice to be made. The stars shine across the Divine Arena, and they are the living legacy of five thousand years of history.

Divine Arena: Ocean

“The ocean is Poseidon’s home turf. Whoever kills the sea monster first wins. Sorry, we’ve got this one in the bag.”

“Why has Huaguo’s contestant summoned a little kid with three heads and six arms? Are they getting ready to surrender?”

Fang Zhiyu smiles faintly.

[Nezha, the Great Deity of the Three Altars and the Seas]

After the match.

“Huaguo winning one round doesn’t mean anything. They’ve only got one deity, so they have no chance of turning things around.”

“Let’s change the rules. Each deity can only compete once. Surely Huaguo can’t summon a second one?”

Fang Zhiyu: Is that so?

In the year 3026, Huaguo is declared the country with the least hope.

The apocalypse has arrived and strange horrors are running rampant. The only way to survive is to enter the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races and seize a chance at life. Victory isn’t decided by who has the biggest fists, but by whose history and culture go back the farthest and whose literature shines the brightest.

As everyone knows, Huaguo’s culture has been lost to time. Its most famous emperor is Emperor Qingqian, and the most widely known poem goes, “One petal, two petals, three and four, drifting into plum blossoms, seen no more.”

Lin Jin Xiao opens his eyes and finds himself in a Huaguo mocked as a cultural wasteland.

Its cultural heritage lost, Huaguo languishes at the bottom of the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races rankings, with other countries carving up its fortune and leaving it on the brink of collapse.

To survive, Huaguo’s mainstream opinion strongly favors learning other nations’ cultures, while its own history and culture are cast aside and forgotten.

But to Lin Jin Xiao, the five thousand years of Huaxia culture shine brighter than any star.

Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races. Topic: War.

“Whoever conquers six countries first wins? That’s too easy for us! We have Napoleon, the greatest general, undefeated in battle!”

“Huaguo is sure to lose this time. Its history is so short, and the Qing dynasty had no generals who could fight!”

“Wait… what does ‘The King of Qin sweeps across the six kingdoms’ mean? And what about ‘The six kings are gone, and all under heaven is one’? Which dynasty did this King of Qin belong to?”

“It’s just one King of Qin. What’s there to be afraid of?”

Lin Jin Xiao: Haha, is that so?
