In 2026, Yang Zhixing, a descendant of a family of epigraphers, entered the mysterious Jixia Institute of Advanced Studies with his ancestral Warring States jade seal "Zhixing". This is no ordinary school - behind the Bronze Gate, the thoughts of hundreds of schools of thought are encoded into "civilized algorithms", running thousands of years of wisdom in the digital world. Yang Zhixing chose the Faculty of Famous Scholars to study logic and debate, but soon discovered the secrets deep in the academy: the "Hui Shi Module" sleeping in the consciousness of the sages was highly synchronized with his thinking; the Yin and Yang family was running the "Five Virtues Final Algorithm" to predict the fate of the country; and the missing senior sister left a warning about "civilizational disparity." When the virtual empire "Great Zhou" established extreme order in the Metaverse, the Western "Logos Project" attempted to use Greek algorithms to cover Chinese civilization, and Jixia Academy was divided due to ideas. Yang Zhixing was forced to lead the liberal school to establish the "New Jixia" and proposed the theory of "civilized algorithmic ecology" in the ruins. In the end, facing the ultimate challenge of Silicon Valley's super AI "Gaia", Yang Zhixing must use his grandfather's unfinished "conscience algorithm" to launch a civilization-level debate in the digital space. His weapon is not a code, but eight words written two thousand years ago: Knowledge is the beginning of action, and action is the completion of knowledge. In the era of symbiosis between humans and AI, at the juncture between tradition and the future, a story about how civilization grows recursively begins.

In the troubled times of the late Yuan Dynasty, wars broke out everywhere, the tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty was raging, the people were displaced, and the southerners were bullied and their lives were like straw. Ahe, a servant from Qianhufu in Datong with a humble background, witnessed the tragic death of his relatives and friends and the suffering of the people. He rose up in desperate situation, raised up the army, gathered loyal people, formed a rebel army, and vowed to overthrow the tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty and restore peace to the people of the world. He raised troops from Datong and marched down several cities to repel the Yuan army's counterattack. During the Northern Expedition, he knew people well and reused Xu Da, Zhou Yong, Batu and other famous generals. He also relied on Li Shanchang to coordinate government affairs. Chen San probed for intelligence and defeated the main force of the Yuan army step by step. He regained Yuzhou and Taiyuan and went straight to Dadu to end the rule of the Yuan Dynasty. He appeased the people, took corvee lightly, and resolved the conflicts between Han and Mongolia; he strategized and took the lead in wiping out the remnants of Timur's troops in the north of Mobei, eradicating future troubles; he integrated the Jiangnan rebel army, incorporated the old troops of Guo Zixing and Zhu Yuanzhang's forces, unified the world, and ended the troubled times. From a handyman who was dependent on others and allowed to be slaughtered, to a rebel commander who strategized and won thousands of miles, he finally ascended to the throne, established the Great China Dynasty, and became the founder of the country. This is a legend about resistance, perseverance and counterattack. It witnesses the magnificent journey of an ordinary person in troubled times, protecting the common people with his original intention, forging a dynasty with iron and blood, emerging from the dust, and finally becoming a world hero.
