Spiritual qi revival. Ninth-rank swordmaster Wang Hao returns, blade in hand. This time, he will protect everything he holds dear.
Wang Hao just never expected such a small change to the world's timeline to cause such a huge ripple.
He sees a Daoist Celestial Lord obsessed with virtual idols, wearing an idol-themed jacket while working as a security guard.
He sees a successor of Yang Zhu become a delivery-app top earner, shouting “Value yourself!” while going bald with worry over saving someone.
Once he calms down, Wang Hao sees all this and immediately wants to find a time machine.
(Laughs)
But there's no time machine. And although the timeline has changed because of his presence,
the “Destruction of Hangzhou” crisis is still coming in ten days. Even Wang Hao can't figure out why the fight to save the world is being livestreamed to all of humanity.
So, to everyone watching, it looks like this:
Wang Hao becomes a “Shura civil official” in historical shadow worlds, scheming to control the realm. His fellow Daoist Celestial Lord flies on a sword while the comments flood with “Daoist, will you take disciples?” His teammate, a successor of Yang Zhu, grumbles, “What a losing deal,” even as he hands me crucial intel.
The world hopes for a divine savior.
But all we want is to protect the people right in front of us: a cup of unsweetened coffee, an idol's bookmark, and the countless lights along the shores of West Lake that never go out.
Who says saving the world has to be all doom and gloom?
