Curator note

Although Zhou was an old state, its mandate was renewed. Without the Chan and Jie schools, the founder of Taoism, Taishang, would not have been born. Various shamanic totems vie for attention, and Qi cultivators stand shoulder to shoulder with gods, demons, and witches. This is the growth trajectory of the son of King Wen and the elder brother of King Wu and the Duke of Zhou. This was a journey of integrating the various Chinese and other ethnic groups, until all the land under heaven belonged to the king. This is a story of the struggle and fusion between ancestor worship and the worship of destiny. This is a legend about a humane monk who replaced the nature gods and began to protect humanity. The divine way is revived, the immortal way is opened, civilization is established, the red sun rises, and its way shines brightly. New book release!

One day, Song Shuhang accidentally joined a chat group for hardcore fans of fantasy novels and chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur). The group members all addressed each other as "fellow Daoists," and their nicknames were filled with various titles like "Lord of a Palace," "Master of a Cave," "True Person," and "Celestial Master." Even the group owner's lost pet dog was referred to as a "Great Demon Dog Who Ran Away from Home." They spent all their time discussing alchemy, exploring secret realms, and cultivation techniques. One day, after lurking for a long time, he suddenly discovered that... Every single member of the group was actually a cultivator, the kind who could move mountains and overturn seas and live for thousands of years!

Chen Xi looked at the soldier who had thrown a boulder weighing several hundred pounds away, speechless as he gazed at the heavens. Was this really the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty? It seems illogical that Lü Bu single-handedly broke through an army of ten thousand. Zhao Zilong is truly possessed by the dragon spirit; he can cleave mountains with a single sword strike. Is this really a human? Dian Wei single-handedly protected Cao Cao as they fought their way out of the enemy camp, casually slaughtering thousands of enemy infantry and cavalry. His combat prowess was off the charts! Something's not right here, is it? Chen Xi casually picked up a goose feather fan and waved it, creating a strong wind. He sighed, "This is a myth, isn't it? Even I'm not normal." P. S.: Actually, this is a serious farming/development story...
