Dragon Vein Code: Gate of the Gods

Twenty-eight-year-old paleontologist Chen Fuli was forced to be involved in a shocking mystery that spanned half of China because his father mysteriously disappeared on the southwest border. Among the relics left by his father, a pocket watch engraved with a spiral pattern actually hides a non-human genetic sequence. With the assistance of symbol scholar Fang Lei and retired scout Wang Kunlun, he embarked on a journey to find the truth. From the weird fungus forest in the tiankeng of Yunnan to the upside-down tree burials in Blackwater City in the Western Regions; from the thunderstorm ice city in Kunlun's Death Valley to the Gate of the Gods in the ancient kingdom - they discovered that the secret recipe for longevity that emperors of all generations exhausted their kingdoms to pursue was not physical immortality, but a truth that had been buried for hundreds of millions of years: the previous civilization was destroyed because it tried to transcend nature, and their consciousness was stored deep underground in the form of "genetic memory," waiting to be inherited. When the power of the "Zhulong" group presses harder, and when the life and death of his loved ones hang on a thread, Chen Fuli must make a choice between resurrecting the ancient civilization and letting it rest in peace. This is not only a thrilling underground adventure, but also an inquiry about the essence of life - is true inheritance transcendence or awe?
