    He nodded heavily, with a sense of relief, and then, like an ordinary son seeking his father's advice, poured out his deepest confusion and bewilderment: "Father, because I 'foresaw' some future events, I always felt burdened with the mission of 'change.'" "At first, I thought I was the chosen one, capable of turning the tide." "But this time… this time, what happened to Mother terrified me." "I tried my best, almost thinking I was going to lose her…" "At that moment, I realized that I might be powerless to even change the fate of my closest relatives." "At that time, I felt… everything I did, my very existence, seemed to have lost its meaning." He paused, his eyes growing even more lost: "And now, Mother has overcome this ordeal, and I should be overjoyed, but I'm plunged into another kind of fear—" "Since Mother's fate can be changed, what about everything else?" "Will the 'future' I remember still unfold as expected?" "Where will my own path lead?" "I... I feel trapped between the 'foresight' and the 'unknown,' unable to move forward or backward." Su Dongpo listened quietly, his heart churning with turbulent emotions once more. He was astonished by the resolve hidden beneath the calm tone of this young boy. It wasn't the typical youthful ambition of "cultivating oneself, regulating one's family, governing the state, and bringing peace to the world," but rather a... A near-tragic resolute defiance, a direct confrontation with the vast Dao of Heaven and predetermined cause and effect. The height and intensity of this resolve far exceeded his expectations. However, this astonishment lasted only a moment. What followed was a sharp pang of heartache and boundless compassion. He seemed to see how his precocious and intelligent son was bearing the memory of that "future" alone, how he was transforming that invisible yet heavy responsibility of "change" into shackles, silently binding his soul. It wasn't a sense of mission; it was a self-inflicted torture. Under the moonlight, Su Dongpo's eyes were incredibly soft, their profound philosophical wisdom veiled by a gentle sorrow. He saw not a madman attempting to defy fate, but a child, suffocated and wounded by his own "premonition" under the boundless pressure of time and space, yet stubbornly forging ahead. He remained silent for a long time, pondering how to most appropriately unlock those invisible shackles. Finally, he spoke slowly, his voice as steady and powerful as the mountain night wind: "Dun'er, because of your 'foresight,' you feel burdened with the responsibility of 'change,' and you regard whether or not you 'change' as the measure of your own value." "This thought, how heavy it is, and how... Persistent it is." He raised his hand and pointed to the crescent moon in the night sky outside the pavilion, his gaze as cold as moonlight, yet containing the warmth of understanding: "Dun'er, look up at the mountain moon before you." "It shines on you and me now, on the thousands of peaks and valleys of Lingnan, just as it has a thousand years ago." "Presumably, a thousand years from now, it will still be the same in your memory." "The people of today do not see the moon of ancient times, but the moon of today once shone on the people of ancient times." "The mountain moon has remained unchanged for thousands of years; what has changed is only the people who observe the moon and the things that happen under the moon." He quoted his deepest understanding: "When I was in Huangzhou, beneath the Red Cliff, watching the river flow eastward, I gained some insights." "'If we consider things from the perspective of their changing nature, then even heaven and earth cannot remain the same for a moment; if we consider them from the perspective of their unchanging nature, then all things and I are without end.'" "This river, this bright moon, viewed from the perspective of their ever-changing nature, never cease for a moment; viewed from the perspective of their constant and unchanging nature, then it has been the same for eternity." "Is the 'historical trajectory' you worry about the ever-changing waves, or the constant current of the river?" "What you are trying to change, is it a few specific waves, or the direction of the entire river?" Su Dun looked at the ancient and unchanging moonlight and fell into deep thought. Su Dongpo sighed softly, the sigh almost inaudible in the night breeze, yet carrying a thousand unspoken words: "You feel futile for failing to save your mother's life, and now, having survived this ordeal, you are lost and uncertain about the future." "This is like tying your entire being to whether a particular 'wave' rises and falls according to your will." "But true 'history' is not a written book, to be read and altered at will." "It is... The karma, personal choices, and opportunities of countless people throughout that entire time and space, like billions of streams, intertwining, colliding, and converging, ultimately carving out a vast river in the world." "Every drop of water, every grain of sand, participates in shaping its course." He leaned slightly forward, his gaze piercing, looking into his son's eyes: "You wish to use your own intellect and karma to alter the torrent formed by countless causes and effects, and endless opportunities—" "This is not ambition, Dun'er, this is almost... A vain attempt to alter the orbits of the stars and moon with the light of a candle; to shake a towering tree with the body of an ant." His tone was not reproachful, but a compassionate understanding born of insight: "You have placed such a heavy burden on your shoulders without explanation, regarding it as your destiny." "This is not only a presumptuous thought of transgressing the workings of Heaven, but also... An extreme demand on your own life and character." "Human strength is finite, but the way of Heaven is infinite; to force the finite to pursue the infinite." "How can one not be perilous, confused, pained, and fearful?" It wasn't "arrogance," it wasn't "ignorance"... It was "excessive demand." So that's how it is.

    I, a modern-day special police officer, was besieged by enemy forces on my very first day after transmigrating. While others transmigrate to become princes, I became cannon fodder. But I'm a special police officer—proficient in reconnaissance, demolition, hand-to-hand combat, and psychological warfare. Within days, I burned down the grain camps, ambushed troops in the canyon, and captured three cities in quick succession. The Empress summoned me, and the entire court awaited my downfall. But before them all, I said, "Your Majesty, give me three years, and I will destroy three kingdoms for you." The Empress coldly looked at me: "And if you cannot?" I said, "Then I will offer my head." She was silent for three seconds, then directly appointed me General Who Guards the West. Later, she asked me why I worked so hard. I said, "What I want is very simple—the elderly are cared for, the young are educated, the poor are supported, and the needy are helped." She was stunned. Later still, I destroyed the Western Wilderness, pacified the Hu Zi, and conquered Yan Nan. The Empress said, "I'll give you half of my empire." I said, "I don't want the empire." She asked, "Then what do you want?" I looked at her and smiled, "I want you." Fei Yan whispered from the side, "Your Majesty, he smiled like that when he snatched my sachet."
