Old God Textbook

In the 743rd year of the Divine Calendar, the old god was shattered. Seventeen fragments are scattered on the ground, each one containing a physical law. Those who swallow the fragments can control the law - but will also be corrupted by the will of the old god. When Cheng Yan traveled to this world, he was lying in a prison in the mine. He is the 3721st Devourer, but he is different from the previous 3720 - he is not here to become a god, he is here to understand God. In this world, people call energy barriers "magic", time anomalies as "miracles", and the whispers of the old gods as "curses". But what Cheng Yan saw was electromagnetic field, gravitational distortion, and quantum entanglement. He uses physics to dismantle laws and scientific thinking to decipher miracles. Every time he swallows a fragment, he gets closer to the truth - the old god is not a god, but a physical existence of a higher dimension; swallowing the fragments is not to gain power, but to analyze the laws of the universe; and he is not the first devourer, but the 3721st container carefully selected by the will of the old god. An experimental subject used to resurrect the old gods. But Cheng Yan doesn't intend to follow the script. His goal was never to become a god - what he wanted to do was to turn God into a textbook that everyone could understand.
