Honghuang: I Transmigrate Across Time and Space to Pave the Way for Humanity

He journeyed through the long river of time, witnessing each great calamity of the ages as an observer.

Unable to see the path ahead, he sealed away his memories and began another life.

In those days, the human race looked up to find the whole world arrayed against them.

The Heavenly Dao suppressed humanity at its roots, the Sages schemed to seize its fortune, and the demon race forged the Witch-Slaying Sword from human flesh and blood.

He helped Shangqing Tongtian borrow swords across the primordial world, and ten thousand swords rang as one.

“Fellow Daoists, lend me your swords.”

“Come!”

That day, Tongtian raised his sword toward the heavens and completed his Daoist heart.

He established a new heaven of the Sword Dao and was revered by the world as the Sword Ancestor.

He witnessed Laozi, who had always followed the path of non-action, make a grand vow so earth-shaking that even the Heavenly Dao was moved.

“I see that all living things lack freedom, and that the primordial world is diseased. I shall establish the Spirit Religion and cure all beings.”

“Do everything within your power, and do what you are able to do.”

But an accident sent him back to the modern world.

Just as he thought it had all been nothing more than an absurd dream,

greedy gods descended. They treated the mortal world as a slaughterhouse, reveling in the offerings of their followers.

At that, he gave a soft laugh.

“I am the Ancestor of the Chinese people. Gods, behold the twilight!”

Then he began traversing different times and worlds.

In the Three Kingdoms era, after the Calamity of Investiture of the Gods, he slew the haughty banished immortal and stood alone before the abyss.

“Before him lay endless darkness.”

“Behind him, the lights of ten thousand homes.”

In the era of Journey to the West, he slew a Western Buddha with a single finger, led the human race's Phoenix Emperor in an assault on Heaven, and helped the little monkey fulfill his dream of becoming the Great Sage.

One day, he heard Hongjun face the endless darkness and say, as casually as if discussing the weather, “I, an old man, will clear the way for all living beings. All darkness must retreat.”

Only then did he discover the truth of the world.

When he looked back again, he stood at the end of the long river of time.
