There is a dragon in this land. Dragons come in all shapes and sizes, some roaming the rivers and seas, some soaring over high mountains, some hiding in the netherworld, and some leaping among the clouds. Once it rises up, it can swallow the wind and bring down snow, divert rivers and streams, unleash thunder and spew fire, and divide mountains and avoid the sea. There are dragons in this world too. A dragon among men, possessing lofty ambitions, brilliant strategies, the capacity to encompass the universe, and the will to swallow the heavens and earth. When the opportunity arises, one can turn the tide, determine the course of events, establish one's dominance, and prove oneself to be a dragon among men. As a lost time traveler, Zhang Xing initially wanted to become a dragon, but later he found that the industry was too corrupt, so he decided to change careers and become a dragon among dragons. The saying goes, "Travel the world's roads to make the world accessible everywhere, and dismiss all dragons so that everyone in the world can become a dragon." This is a cliché time-travel story.
