Who Was the Real Expert at Digging Pits?

The gloomy sky suddenly burst into sunshine. One second, rain had been pouring down; the next, the sky was blue and the sea was calm.

Golden sand replaced the desolate Helan Mountain and the barren loess plains.

"Th-this is..."

The sudden change in scenery left Professor Zhu Chaoye almost unable to believe his eyes.

Another snap of the fingers.

The world before him turned back into the archaeological excavation site at the Western Xia Royal Tombs beneath Helan Mountain in Shuofang Province, with torrential rain still pouring down.

The damp, earthy smell replaced the salty tang of the sea.

Li Bai couldn't use math, physics, and chemistry to classify magic as science,
