Ming Dynasty Blossoms and Moonlight

These are the best of times, these are the worst of times.

Across a land stretching for thousands of miles, raging dragons roam the Jianghuai region, the Demon Master sits high beyond the frontier, and the Tranquil Retreat gazes down upon the mortal world.

The Jianghu roils with storms, while heroes and beauties compose poetry and paint.

After Zhou Yao transmigrates, he discovers that whenever he does a good deed, he receives a gift from beyond the world.

[You keep your word. Such integrity deserves a reward.]

[Received: Hope Gu!]

[You remain upright and true. Such steadfastness deserves a reward.]

[Received: Life-and-Death Reincarnation Pill!]

[You purge the forces of evil. Such courage deserves a reward.]

[Received: Sword of the Holy Spirit, Sword Twenty-Three!]

Years later...

Zhou Yao rules the world and sings aloud:

"The sacred deeds of the Five Emperors and Three Sovereigns were lies to deceive the endless stream of travelers."
