The Way of Yi: Saving the World with Chinese Civilization

Fifty years after Blue Star merged into the Divine-Demon Universe. This planet has no history of its own, yet it possesses a supernatural power called "Historical Qi." One in a million people can awaken as "Yi Players," using Historical Qi as chess pieces and the civilization of Origin Earth as the board, engaging in duels within their domains—heroes, soldiers, buildings, and common people all become pieces. While others rely on talent and trial and error in their duels, Ji Che relies on memories from his past life. In his previous life, he was in the History Department at Peking University, taken away by a red truck, and reopened his eyes to relive life from a fertilized egg. While others transmigrate and possess princes, he honestly gets born, not even skipping the tutorial—but his mind holds the complete history of Origin Earth. In this world where Yi Players are treated like fandom idols yet no one can clearly explain historical truths, he essentially has an open-book exam. At the Renyi University joint entrance exam, the Yi board beeps. Three examiners stand up simultaneously, their domains unfold. Ji Che's chess game begins at this moment. And beyond the chessboard, the standoff between gods and demons has lasted a thousand years, the rift is widening—can Ji Che achieve salvation under these circumstances? — Description from novelcodex.org
