My Dreams Connect to Ancient Times

The Human Dao has cast out, and a Celestial Emperor has issued a decree.

On this day, from Luoyang to the remote Sui Kingdom just beginning to recover; from the Qi Kingdom, which was frequently shrinking its defensive perimeter, to the great Dukes States of Lu, Chu, Yan, and Zhao;

from the rarely trodden North Sea to the Southern Wilderness teeming with creatures!

Above every inch of the land, the clouds of the nine heavens descended, nearly touching the ground. The waters of the Four Seas surged violently, throwing up a sky-high curtain that met the descending clouds in a shimmering display.

On the land, Mountain Gods cowered; in the seas, Dragon Kings held their breath.

The five celestial vaults that stretched across the Human World and the heavens... CLICK... were now one fewer.

The Central Celestial Court remained as brilliant as ever. The East Pole Celestial Court still blossomed with its Cyan Lotus. The South Pole Celestial Court was wreathed in the glow of Buddhas and suffused with the light of infinite life. The North Pole Celestial Court radiated a world-shaking aura of slaughter.

As for the West Pole Celestial Court, which had once wielded weapons and commanded fortune and disaster, it had vanished completely. The palaces and Jade Towers upon its celestial vault had lost their luster,

and the vast fortune of the Celestial Dao that had enveloped the West Pole Celestial Court had scattered to nothing. Its great Immortal Gods were bewildered and lost, and amidst the ruins of the collapsed Emperor's Palace, the Great Emperor who had once dominated the age lowered his head in despair.

The West Pole Celestial Court was still in the West Pole, but it had lost its status, and the authority it held over heaven and earth had been stripped away!

The Immortal Gods who had witnessed hundreds of fireballs pierce the Thirty-Three Celestial Realms and nearly blast the Great Emperor to death were struck silent. The Three Celestial Courts of the East, South, and North felt a pang of sorrow, as if mourning one of their own. Meanwhile, from the Lingxiao Hall in the Central Celestial Court, resounding laughter shook the nine heavens.

But then, the laughter ceased. The Emperor Corpse lowered its gaze to the Human World, and as if filled with emotion, it whispered in a profound voice:

"Supreme Profound Clarity..."

Countless Immortal Gods simultaneously lowered their gazes, looking towards the old man leaning on his sword on the high platform in Yong City. They all carved the three words, "Supreme Profound Clarity," into their minds and souls, as if with a knife and chisel.

Every one of them was terrified.

"With the body of an Earth Immortal, a Great Virtue Body..." a great Immortal God muttered in a daze. "To depose a Celestial Court, to abolish the dignity of an Emperor..."

All the Immortals and Buddhas in the heavens fell into a somber silence.

At this very moment, in the Human World.

In Ancient Luoyang, gazing at the western Celestial Vault, they watched as the hazy silhouettes of palaces and Jade Towers among the clouds suddenly lost their color.

The Celestial Son of Zhou's lips trembled as he spoke, his voice quivering:

"Lu Zi... he really deposed a Celestial Court..."

The assembled officials were silent. They looked at the vision of the Qin Region formed by the churning national fortune above Luoyang and recalled the recent "grand spectacle" of immortal corpses piled like mountains. A chill ran down their spines, and they were all in a daze.

For countless years, since time immemorial, it had always been the Immortal Gods who punished the Human World, always the Celestial Court that deposed a Human King...

But now, Lu Zi, who had been missing for thirty years, had performed a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering act the moment he reappeared—deposing a Celestial Court and dethroning an Immortal God Emperor!

The Celestial Son of Zhou suddenly burst into tears, then let out a great laugh. Amid his laughter, he collapsed to the ground. Having seen his unfulfilled wish come true, the already extremely weakened Celestial Son could no longer hold on.

This king of the Zhou Dynasty, the Celestial Son of the Human World, lay prostrate on the ground and performed a ritual bow in the direction of Yong City in the Qin Region.

After the rite was complete, the Celestial Son, with tears streaming down his face, murmured to himself:

"In this time when the heavens collapse, you, sir, have saved our Human World."

Afterward, the Celestial Son breathed no more.

The officials were in an uproar. Half of Luoyang hung white mourning silks, while the other half hung lanterns and decorations, all to celebrate the great name of Lu Zi.

The Historian was both joyous and sorrowful. He raised his carving knife, filled with grief and elation, laughter and tears. In the end, it all dissolved into a sigh and a single, sweeping stroke.

[Lu Zi departed Luoyang and journeyed to Qin, where he saw a Drought Demon bringing chaos to the world and inflicting disaster upon the lands and the Human World. Lu Zi, in his fury, slew the Drought Demon.]

[Afterward, Duke Qin constructed a Celestial Platform, held a grand ceremony with processions and piled braziers of fire, creating a surging momentum. Lu Zi, holding his sword, faced the heavens and enumerated the sins of the Immortal Gods, his heart filled with grief and anger.]

[In the West Pole Celestial Vault, the Immortal Gods were enraged. Three hundred thousand Celestial Soldiers and Generals descended to the Lower Realm, bearing an imperial edict. With the thunderous beat of war drums, they came to smite Lu Zi.]

[Lu Zi laughed and said, "Can you withstand a bow from me?" He then donned his robes and cap, and performed a formal bow.]

[The Celestial Soldiers perished, the Celestial Generals fell, the war drums fell silent, and a furious wind arose, blowing down immortal corpses like rain.]

[Gazing upon the mountain of Immortal Corpses, Lu Zi leaned on his sword. With the glorious might of the Human Dao, he deposed the West Pole Celestial Court and abolished the position of the Gouchen Upper Palace Emperor. This act shocked the Thirty-Three Celestial Realms, moved the mountains and rivers of the Human World, terrified the Nine Nether, Yellow Springs, Underworld, and Netherworld, caused the clouds of the nine heavens to descend, and made the waters of the Four Seas stand on end!]

[When the Celestial Son heard of this, he was overjoyed. He shed tears, prostrated himself toward Lu Zi, and never rose again. Half the city hung white mourning silks.]

The Historian, half-crying and half-laughing, let his carving knife fly as if venting the sorrow and exhilaration in his heart.

[Before the Celestial Son's passing, he laughed and said: "In this time when the heavens collapse, you, sir, have saved our Human World!"]

[Henceforth, may future generations remember: upon hearing the name of Lu Zi, you must bow and kowtow!]

......

「Current World.」

History has changed. The timeline converges, and the past reflects upon the Current World.

In the Land of the Far West on the Ancestor Star lay a wilderness stretching for tens of thousands of miles, with thirty million miles of Forbidden Land. It was recognized by the Federation as a life-forbidden zone. Of all the beings who went to explore it, from Junior Cultivators who had just built their Jade Tower to mighty True Immortals, not a single one ever returned.

At this moment, beyond the thirty million miles of Forbidden Land in the Far West, a Heaven-Reaching Divine Palace stood, its interior shining brilliantly with the Spiritual Light of celestial treasures.

Deep within the Divine Palace, a Venerable exuding a heavy aura of weapons and armored cavalry asked coolly:

"You were supposed to be staying in the Life Tower. Why have you come to my Upper Palace?"

The one shimmering with Buddhist light smiled calmly, their eyes profound.

"Your Excellency, why be like this? The one who holds a grudge against your Upper Palace is the Celestial Court of the South Pole, not my Buddhist path."

He paused, let out a breath, and then continued leisurely:

"Now that the Lu Zi of ancient times has appeared in the Current World, he says he will 'wield reward and punishment' and 'single-handedly illuminate the dim mountains and rivers.' Such bold words... Does Your Excellency have no thoughts on the matter?"

The Master of the Upper Palace lifted his eyelids and said slowly:

"What has it to do with me? As long as weapons are raised on the Ancestor Star, I grow stronger, and the Emperor's return will only be hastened."
