Honghuang: An Emperor in His Twilight Years, I Meet Laozi

Li Changgao is a Great Emperor in the twilight years of the Desolate Ancient World. With his lifespan nearing its end, he faces a siege by Supremes whose lives are nearly spent. He awakens a System that lets his soul transmigrate into the Primordial World. Sending a fragment of his soul there, he takes the form of a stone spirit and happens upon Laozi, who has yet to become a Saint. He offers Laozi insight with the words, "The Dao follows nature." When Laozi says, "You have great promise," Li Changgao knows he has forged a sacred bond.
