The Soldier King Returns. What Kind of Soldier? A Heavenly Soldier!

[Invincible + feel-good + urban high martial arts + mythic universe + civilizational leap + taking Earth along on its ascension]

“Mr. Lin, you’re pretty skilled. Were you in the military?”

“I just got discharged.”

“No wonder. Special forces?”

“Heavenly soldier.”

“…”

The police officer looked up at him.

“Why not say you were a heavenly general, too?”

Lin Gui thought for a moment.

“I was one of those, too.”

“…”

“Sure.” The officer grinned. “So, are you the king of soldiers?”

“Yeah.”

“Which unit?”

“Third Guard of the Southern Heavenly Gate, Xuan Battalion, Seventh Jia Squad.”

“…”

“You really made up the whole thing, huh?”

Lin Gui didn’t explain further.

Later, when the decree announcing the Heavenly Court’s integration crossed the sea of stars and officially descended upon Earth,

The whole world finally learned that Lin Gui hadn’t told a single lie from beginning to end.

The Heavenly Court really existed.

Heavenly soldiers and generals really existed.

The myths passed down for thousands of years were not all just legends.

It was just that everyone had gotten one thing wrong.

They thought the Heavenly Court was up in the sky.

Only later did they discover that it was a vast mythic civilization governing the myriad heavens and spanning the sea of stars.

And Earth?

It was merely a remote, long-disconnected former territory at the edge of its domain.

As for the man who had always called himself a “retired heavenly soldier”…

His record seemed to amount to far more than simply being a “heavenly soldier.”
