    Reader note

    I recommend this book, *The Divine Firmament of the Heavenly Palace*: When a modern soul falls into the chessboard of the Three Realms, will the one who holds the pieces ultimately become the piece? A rift in spacetime throws Li Da, carrying memories of Earth, into the quagmire between the mortal and immortal realms. No one knows that this seemingly ordinary little immortal child harbors chaotic secrets even the Three Pure Ones keep hidden; even fewer expect that behind him stands the carefree Daoist Lu Ya—the junior uncle whom even Hongjun is too lazy to care about, watching through the rift in time as he stirs up trouble in the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court is not a celestial realm, but a battlefield of carnage. The Jade Emperor sits in the Lingxiao Palace, holding not a scepter, but a bargaining chip in the power struggle between the three religions; the Jade Void Palace of the Chan Sect harbors underhanded schemes to suppress the Jie Sect, the Eight Trigrams Palace of the Human Sect calculates its own gains, and the lotus throne of the Western Buddhist Realm has long since extended into the territory of the East. When Li Da rose from a minor official to stand before the Jade Emperor, he discovered that the rules of the Three Realms had long been filled with the calculations of ancient powerful beings: the sky mended by Nuwa had cracks, the disciples taken in by Hun Kun harbored rebellious intentions, and even the fragments of the "divine artifacts of creation" left behind by the Primordial Spirit of Creation had become dice for various forces to gamble with their lives. He had seen the Book of Life and Death secretly altered by the judges of the Underworld, heard the remnants of the demon race recount the old stories of Emperor Jun, and even, during a deadly pursuit, touched the "legacy" that overturned the old order—perhaps Nuwa's unspoken thoughts, or perhaps a pioneer's blood-written letter. When the dark clouds of cosmic calamity pressed down, Li Da finally stopped hiding his abilities. He revealed his connection to the Primordial Spirit of Creation, gathered the scattered fragments of divine artifacts across the Three Realms, sneered at the Six Emperors and Five Elders' attempts to win him over, and raised an eyebrow at the schemes of the Buddhist and Taoist sects. The ultimate opponent was never some powerful being, but rather the "fatalism" etched into the very bones of the Heavenly Dao. "You've fought for this order for billions of years; it's time for a change." When modern thinking collides with ancient intrigue, when a soul from another world breaks the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, this intricate game spanning immortals and mortals, involving Buddhism and Taoism, and stirring up chaos, must ultimately be decided by him. Will he be a discarded pawn on the chessboard? Or will he overturn the board, letting the Three Pure Ones witness him rewrite the universe? "The Divine Firmament"—witness the transmigrator Li Da, who, with a mortal body, unravels the Heavenly Dao's chessboard, wields fragments of divine artifacts, and ushers in a new era for the Three Realms!

    [A Chosen One of Heaven + A Fallen Immortal in the Mortal World + Beginning with Love + Entering the Game with One's Body] [Realm Divisions: Profound Realm, Transformation Realm, Purity Realm] Yun Xi was originally the strongest chosen one of Heaven in the Heavenly Realm, a leader among the younger generation of the Hundred Immortal Clan, once bestowed the title of 'Number One of the Yun Generation' by the Emperor. However, the tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind. Immortal Venerable Bai Yu threatened Yun Xi with his beloved, forcing Yun Xi to cultivate demonic arts, slaughter mortals, and betray his sect, ultimately enraging all the immortals, who rallied countless comrades to vanquish the demon. To exchange for a sliver of hope for his beloved's life, Yun Xi willingly threw himself into the Mortal Pool, defying the Heavenly Rules, and was condemned to a life of descent into the mortal world, all to find 'her' from his memories in the vast mortal realm. ... Thus, Yunxi became what the world called a banished immortal. He vaguely remembered that the Heavenly Gate, leading to the celestial realm, opened every sixty years. So he simply secluded himself in the Ten Thousand Green Mountains, living a carefree and leisurely life, adopting the name Jiufan, awaiting the day the Heavenly Gate would open, hoping to return to the celestial realm and retrieve his forgotten memories. However, fate was unkind. On that autumn equinox evening, Jiufan was moved by compassion and developed human emotions. He adopted a lonely infant and raised it as his own. From then on, he had family, he had a home, he was no longer alone, he had someone to care for! ... "How many peach blossoms have fallen in this world, who knows I am a banished immortal!" As for whether Jiu Fan will eventually return to the Heavenly Realm, whether he can find the love he was willing to risk everything for in the vast mortal world, and what kind of relationship he has with the demons, monsters, and immortals in the mortal world, let's uncover the mystery little by little with the history books of the mortals.
