Catalog only. The chapter bodies were not read. No quoted lines, no free-preview paste, no claim that a welcome row, a restarted chapter 1, or the newest button is the first door.
Search Age of Light or 光明纪元. The Qidian page does not print an English title. The mobile book page is book 2311686, author 血红.
Fifty-four rows sit in 作品相关. The door does not say 第一章. The next catalog row is already 第三章. The door is 序言，以及开篇一、二章, in 正文. The next row is 第三章 交易. 2559 story rows follow the notes. 722.44万 characters is the shelf label. The mobile page said 完本. The newest catalog timestamp is 完本感言！. The door is the earlier row.
Start at 序言，以及开篇一、二章
Open 序言，以及开篇一、二章 on Qidian and follow that catalog from 正文, not from the newest button. The Chinese original, 光明纪元, is the book page. On 15 October 2026 the mobile page called it 完本, author 血红, category 玄幻·东方玄幻, updated 2014-01-16, with 722.44万 characters. The catalog listed 2559 story rows. The public pitch was not copied here.
The newest button is not the door
The newest timestamp points at 完本感言！. 722.44万 characters is a shelf label, not a dare. You are deciding whether 序言，以及开篇一、二章, filed under 玄幻·东方玄幻, is your door. 完本 is a status.
Who should start here
Try it if a search for Age of Light or 光明纪元 sent you and the closing thanks is not the novel. Nearby doors: Era of the Witch God and Evil Wind Song.
Leave it if you want a newcomer’s first chance at training, checked scene by scene. That door is the RMJI opening guide. The shelf is the Age of Light reading series. The index is where to start.
