Traveling Through History

Global New History

A young archaeologist is gazing at a huge stone block, his heart filled with curiosity and awe for ancient civilizations. His gaze seems to travel through time and space, back to the cradle of human civilization - the Mesopotamian plain. There, the ancient Sumerians created the world's earliest writing and urban civilization. Their wisdom is like brilliant stars, illuminating the beginning of human history. As time passes, the sparks of human civilization ignite in different regions. The glory of ancient Greek city-states is remarkable. Athens' democratic system, Sparta's martial spirit, and the wisdom of numerous philosophers have jointly forged the glory of ancient Greek civilization. During this period, thinkers like Plato and Aristotle have had a profound influence. Their pursuit of truth and reflection on human nature have laid the foundation for the development of philosophy in later generations. In the far east, Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms and established a vast empire. The construction of the Great Wall testifies to the tenacity and wisdom of the Chinese nation. It is not only a military defense line but also a symbol of the unity and struggle of the Chinese nation. Qin Shi Huang's great unification opened a new chapter in Chinese history, and his political system and cultural policies have had a profound impact on later generations. In India, the glory of the Maurya Dynasty and the spread of Buddhism have influenced the entire Asia. Ashoka's rule brought India to an unprecedented prosperity, and the teachings of Buddhism spread to neighboring countries along with trade and cultural exchanges. The compassion, wisdom, and peace concept of Buddhism have injected new vitality into the development of human civilization. As time goes by, medieval Europe fell into darkness. The constraints of feudalism, the oppression of religion, and frequent wars made the people of Europe live in dire straits. However, the dawn of the Renaissance brought new hope. The masterpieces of artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo have become treasures of human civilization. With their outstanding artistic talent, they have demonstrated human creativity and the pursuit of beauty. The Silk Road connects the east and the west, bringing the blending of trade and culture. Chinese silk, tea, and porcelain are transported to the west through the Silk Road, while western spices, gems, and cultures also enter China. This ancient trade route not only promotes economic development but also strengthens exchanges and cooperation between different civilizations. At the same time, wars are constantly changing the world pattern. Alexander the Great's eastern expedition spread Greek culture to the east and promoted the integration of eastern and western cultures. The western expedition of the Mongol cavalry swept across Eurasia and established a vast empire. Although wars have brought destruction and pain, they have also promoted exchanges and integration between different ethnic groups.

QT: Ultimate Revenge Through History

Isadora always liked her name. It was a gorgeous, unique title for her among her friends, especially in their era as it was both authentic and prestigious. However, what she did not know was that this name had a huge history behind it. One day, after an unfortunate incident, Isadora found herself in a familiar yet strange place. She was vaguely aware at that moment— She was not in the same world she had been living in before. This gave her a brief idea, a theory about how her life would be from that moment onward. But everything was not what she had expected it to be. Instead of simply living in another world, Isadora was forced into an adventure of hopping to several worlds after it. In each of them, she felt herself being thrown amidst the angry, sharp fangs of the beasts around her. Despite that, a voice helped her to go through these worlds as she avenged those people she took over their bodies. [Who am I?] The owner of the voice's identity was just another mystery she wanted to solve along the way. “Yes, who are you?” [I have many names, many lives, and many things that I can answer this with… How about you know after we clear the next world?] Thus, not just to find out how to stop that cycle of transmigration she found herself in, but to also know that person better, Isadora confidently walked her path, dethroning anyone who stood in her way. The only question that had never left Isadora was, ‘At the end of this never-ending cycle, would I be able to rest and know who you are?’
