Ancient Echoes: The Creation and Investiture of the Gods Through Intangible Cultural Heritage

A boy from southeastern Guizhou, A Lai, unexpectedly awakens the bloodline of Chi You and inherits the Twelve Silver Bells, which contain the power of the Ancestral God. He is swept into a war between civilizations spanning ancient times and the modern era. To stop the apocalyptic scheme of the mysterious organization "Xuan Niao," he sets out to find the bells with Na Xi, heir to a family of Miao healers, and Chi Meng, the saintess of Wu Village. From the knife-ladder trial on Leigong Mountain to the bronze sacred tree at Sanxingdui; from genetic awakening that controls the quantum states of plants to a battle over the Nine Cauldrons that reverses time and space, intangible cultural heritage and science fiction collide in a spectacular clash. Miao silver-forging techniques create spatial artifacts, lusheng melodies communicate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and Miao embroidery conceals multidimensional coordinates. When Black Feather activates the "Nine Provinces Project," which can rewrite the constants of the universe, the three must wield intangible cultural heritage as a blade and protect the last spark of Chinese civilization before the four realms collapse.
