2025-07-27 18:16:34In his private chamber, Emperor Zhu Feng began planning the invasion of the Shang Dynasty. Present were Hou Jun, Commander Cai Rui, and Prime Minister Qiu Liang.
Soon, a calm-faced man entered the room—Grand Commander Wang Yihan, freshly returned from suppressing a border rebellion. He was unaware of Emperor Zhu Feng's plans. "Perfect timing, Grand Commander. I have something to discuss with you," said the Emperor. Wang Yihan furrowed his brows. He noticed three others in the room, but not Zeng Kun, who usually attended key meetings. Instead, Hou Jun—a lesser official—was there. "What’s the matter, Your Majesty?" he asked, puzzled. "I plan to expand our empire. Our first target is the Shang Dynasty." Thud! Wang Yihan's heart skipped a beat. Did he hear that right? "Forgive me, Your Majesty... Do we have any conflict with the Shang Dynasty that warrants an attack?" "None at all. This is purely to expand our rule," the Emperor replied. "But why the Shang Dynasty? We have long-standing ties with them—economic, diplomatic..." The calmness in Wang Yihan’s expression faded, replaced by concern. "You are my subordinate, Wang Yihan. Your duty is to obey orders, not question them!" Emperor Zhu Feng barked. "As Your Majesty wishes. But during the late Emperor Suryawijaya’s reign, I was not just a soldier, but also his advisor. I helped him ensure peace and stability." "Not anymore. Your duty now is to obey me and never presume to lecture your Emperor!" Wang Yihan sighed deeply. His ideals no longer aligned with the new ruler. He made a painful decision. "Your Majesty, I am weary. I wish to resign as Grand Commander. Let Commander Cai Rui take my place." The Emperor was surprised, even disappointed. But ambition had clouded his judgment. "What will you do now, Wang Yihan?" "I wish to retreat from the world. To farm and live peacefully with my family in my old age. I apologize for no longer serving the Dynasty." He removed his armor and placed it, along with the Grand Commander’s seal, on the table. "I respect your decision. You may go." "Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Yihan bowed and left. "You made the right call letting him go. He no longer serves Your Majesty from the heart," said Commander Cai Rui. "I agree. But keep an eye on him. He is related to Emperor Li Wei. Have your spies follow him. Report any suspicious activity." "Understood." Cai Rui soon returned. "Our best spies are tailing him now, Your Majesty." "Good. From this moment on, you are the Grand Commander, Cai Rui. Serve me and this Dynasty well!" Cai Rui prostrated before the Emperor, overflowing with praise. Before leaving the palace, Wang Yihan inquired about Advisor Zeng Kun’s fate. He was shocked to learn that Zeng Kun had been imprisoned. Tears welled in his eyes. The Dynasty he had served so faithfully had cast him aside without remorse. Yet he was grateful to be free from a path that no longer aligned with his conscience. Especially knowing that the Shang Dynasty—his cousin’s realm—was the target. He galloped away from the capital, heading for his long-abandoned childhood home. Throughout his years of service, Wang Yihan had devoted himself to Emperor Suryawijaya. He rarely saw his family. Now, he could enjoy his twilight years in peace. One hundred meters behind, five spies followed him, careful not to lose track. When he arrived at his modest home at the foot of a hill, Wang Yihan embraced his family warmly and told them he was now retired. The next morning, Wang Yihan went into the forest to collect firewood. Though no longer Grand Commander, his instincts remained sharp. He sensed someone following him. Curious, he sprinted toward a large tree and leapt onto its branches. Three spies lost track of him and revealed themselves. From the tree, Wang Yihan was shocked to discover they were palace spies. "Where is he? That old man disappeared so quickly!" one of the spies muttered in confusion. "I'm right here!" replied Dharmaseta, then leapt down and landed lightly in front of the three palace spies.

Marriage
The beautiful girl, soon to lose her purity, was overwhelmed by indescribable happiness."I'm embarrassed that they're watching us," Fang An whispered softly."Why be embarrassed? They all seem so happy to see us happy," replied Princess Xian Lie."Fang An, my daughter, now the two of you should rest. Tomorrow is your wedding day," said Emperor Li Wei."Yes, Father." Princess Xian Lie dragged Fang An out of the hall before the young man could reply to the emperor."They look so happy, Your Majesty," said Zhao Jian."Indeed, Elder. Not only them, I, as a parent, am also thrilled to see their joy," Emperor Li Wei replied.Time moved slowly that day. That night, in a separate room, Zhao Wen and Zhao Jian sat alone without Fang An."Grandfather, I overheard earlier that Fang An is the master of Yu Lian. But why can't I sense Yu Lian's energy inside him?" Zhao Wen asked.Zhao Jian smiled faintly at his grandson's question."You'll find out soon enough," he answered briefly.Zhao Wen was cu
Time Distortion
Winds howled violently around the battlefield, swirling into a vortex that made the Genie King tremble with fear. He knew exactly who was about to appear—the same man who once made him wet himself in terror.Thick clouds of dust were sucked into the growing tornado, which devoured everything in its path."Do you want me to destroy your kingdom, Sin Po?!" a thunderous voice echoed from the eye of the tornado.Sin Po, the Genie King, shivered in fear. He never imagined the ruler of Mount Tianmen would return to his kingdom after such a long absence.Meanwhile, Fang An watched the tornado with a deep frown. He couldn’t yet identify the voice coming from the spinning winds near where he stood.Gradually, the whirlwind shrank before vanishing completely. Two familiar figures now stood at the center of where it had disappeared."Grandfather… Uncle…" he whispered, barely believing his eyes.Zhao Wen approached Fang An. “Are you alright, Fang An?”Fang An nodded, still uncertain whether the m
Challenge
Fang An thought that facing the king directly would be better than wasting energy on the unending troops. If he could defeat the king, their morale would likely collapse.But reality often defies hope. The genie soldiers seemed to anticipate his move. They blocked all paths, cutting off his access to the king.“Damn it! If this keeps up, I’ll die for nothing!” Fang An channeled his remaining inner energy into the celestial blade. He had to cut down as many enemies as possible.One thing was clear in his mind: if he must die, he would take as many genie lives with him as possible.After unleashing an energy wave that killed dozens, Fang An raised his sword to the sky. A bright blue light shot upward, piercing the clouds. A loud explosion echoed in the heavens, followed by a thunderous roar.Dark clouds gathered and quickly formed a heavy storm. Lightning flashed repeatedly from within the darkened skies.The moment Fang An had bee
King of the Genie
With a powerful stomp of his right foot, Fang An dashed forward at top speed, launching an unexpected attack. One by one, the soldiers of the Genie Kingdom collapsed to the ground, all bearing similar wounds—gutted stomachs with entrails spilling out in chaos.The stench was unbearable, carried swiftly by the wind. Yu Lian froze, unable to believe what his eyes were witnessing. A wave of regret filled him as he stood helplessly, watching his soldiers slaughtered before him."Bastard!" The expletive burst from the lips of the high-ranking Genie official. The fury of losing his troops demanded immediate retaliation.Yu Lian leapt from his horse. The massive twin swords strapped to his back were now gripped tightly in both hands.But before he could move, a thick cloud of dust rolled toward them.Fang An swallowed hard. His eyes locked on the sight of thousands of soldiers galloping toward him. It was clear he’d have to fight alone
The Genie Kingdom
Only the lead warrior remained. The towering Genie, standing around seven meters tall, for some unknown reason, began to feel fear creeping into his mind. A fear he should not have possessed as the lead warrior of the Genie Kingdom—yet it took hold the moment he saw the savage determination in the eyes of the human staring at him.“Now it’s your turn to follow your subordinates!”Fang An's voice wasn’t loud, but it was dripping with menace. It struck terror into the Genie's core, sending paranoia into his limbs. He was completely overwhelmed by an irrational fear.While the explosion had occurred outside, inside the royal palace not far from the battlefield, several of the kingdom’s key figures were gathered, listening to their ruler speak. The sudden blast shocked everyone in the hall.Even Emperor Li Wei, who had been addressing his audience, fell silent mid-sentence.For several moments, a deep silence followed the explosion. Everyone froze, internally questioning the nature of the
Battle in the Other Realm
For a moment, Fang An stood frozen, his gaze locked onto the magnificent palace standing not far ahead. Question after question flooded his mind, which remained frozen in disbelief at what he was seeing. His logic simply could not accept what lay before him. When he had climbed Mount Tianmen earlier, he had seen no palace at all."As far as I know, there's no other kingdom in this area besides the Shang Dynasty. So why is there..." Fang An's internal monologue was cut short as several tall, muscular soldiers on horseback approached him.Their eyes were cold, unfriendly—almost as if they wanted to skin him alive."How did you enter this place, human?!" one of them barked.Fang An furrowed his brows in confusion. With a puzzled expression, he answered the question calmly. "I don’t know what you mean. I myself am confused—why is there a kingdom here besides the Shang Dynasty?""Lies!" one of the soldiers snapped. "You must have bad intentions entering this kingdom!"His confusion deepene
