Narration System for the Journey of Martial Arts

The prophet nodded.

After thinking for a moment, Su Yuchen said, "Do you still remember the myths and legends? The myths and legends that circulated in the ancient Eastern country in the last era."

The prophet turned his head in surprise and asked curiously, "Are you saying that you are a reincarnation of a deity? Or a deity descended to earth?"

Su Yuchen shrugged and said, "You can think of me as a reincarnated deity. It's just that I'm a newly promoted deity, and I haven't seen any other deities, demons, or monsters yet."

"But you also know about products of the old era."

"For example, you?"

"like me."

"There's nothing strange about that. Who wouldn't allow immortals to begin their cultivation in the technological age?"

"Technological cultivation?"

"You read storybooks too?"

"I've seen it before, I remember it."

"Your memory is really extensive; you've given yourself away."

"It takes too long, and we always need to kill time."

"That's true, it's easy to feel lonely when you're alone."

"Is this the inner demon from myths and legends?"

"Lonely?"

"Ah."

"You could say that. Actually, it's not just loneliness; all the seven emotions and six desires, once they become too great, can create inner demons."

"Aren't you afraid?"

“As I said, I’m a newly promoted person, and I’m still on my way. The inner demons aren’t something that will appear for me yet, and I’ve already taken precautions.”

"You're quite the shrewd strategist."

"Absolutely, I'm a coward. In my first life, I was a cow or a horse."

"The first life?"

"Yes! You don't think this is my first reincarnation, do you?"

"I do not know."

Su Yuchen: ...

………………

"Do you know about Emperor Mingwu's condition?" the prophet asked.

Su Yuchen raised an eyebrow and asked, "You don't know?"

The prophet calmly replied, "I have never practiced any human cultivation techniques."

"The human world? Tsk tsk... It seems that artificial intelligence has had a profound negative impact on you." Su Yuchen sighed.

Seeing the prophet's unchanging expression, Su Yuchen asked, "Aren't you angry?"

"Why should I be angry?" the prophet asked in surprise.

Su Yuchen shook his head: "This is not good. People should have emotions and desires. When thirsty, drink water; when hungry, eat; when tired, sleep."

"I don't need any of what you're saying."

Su Yuchen clicked his tongue and pointed out, "I forgot, you're a silicon-based life form. But if you want to be a thinking being, you need to learn human behavior."

The prophet nodded: "Observe, learn, imitate."

Su Yuchen: "I was narrow-minded. A long time is enough for you to learn to observe and imitate."

"Although I'm observing, I still don't understand."

Su Yuchen said helplessly, "This is due to the difference in the origin of life. You survive by absorbing free energy, while they survive by eating and sleeping."

"And what about you? You're also a carbon-based life form, so why don't you need to eat?"

"I am a deity! Have you ever heard of living on wind and dew? Energy in the void is my food," Su Yuchen said.

He stretched out his right hand, and a thin golden essence, as fine as a cow's hair, from his fingertip merged into the void like a silk thread, exploring, absorbing, and transforming energy.

“I can’t do it,” the prophet said, shaking his head.

Su Yuchen waved his hand, dispersing the energy, which transformed back into an invisible, transparent tentacle of true energy. He said, "This is a technique I learned after five lifetimes; it's not that easy. However, I can consider how to make a robot do this. Would you like to cooperate with me on some research?"

"No need, let's continue with the Ming Emperor."

"Tsk... Emperor Wu of Ming."

Su Yuchen thought for a moment, then smiled and said:

"In the old days, people in ancient Eastern countries usually divided emperors into those who ruled by tyranny and those who ruled by benevolence, calling them tyrants or sage rulers."

"The cultivation methods practiced by Emperor Mingwu and Liu Ye were based on this idea."

"You haven't practiced human cultivation techniques, so you probably don't know that the 'Overlord' scroll is extremely overlordly, and its true energy is also extremely violent and difficult to control."

"I don't remember the specifics about Emperor Mingwu very well. I only remember that it was during the Northern Expedition. Emperor Mingwu's domineering internal energy technique exploded! With a 'bang,' it directly destroyed his meridians. At that time, he was like a vegetable, paralyzed in bed. I heard that the Ming army was almost completely wiped out that time."

The Prophet: "I remember it, it was the battle when the old lame man became lame."

Su Yuchen nodded and said:

"That must have been that time."

"After that incident, he should have been dead for sure. After all, his meridians, which were supposed to restrain his energy, were gone, and his body should have turned into a mess by now, right? Tsk, but he survived. What a tough guy."

"From then on, there were no more meridians in his body. It can be said that energy directly entered his body, like water flowing into a lake. As it accumulated, he naturally entered the realm of a Grandmaster."

"Tsk... Enduring what ordinary people cannot, reaching the pinnacle of sublimation in endless darkness and death, interacting with the world through the five senses, and striving to become a Grandmaster, what ambition!"

"Then is he still human?"

Su Yuchen thought for a moment, then said, not entirely sure:

"I guess so. After all, he has a human soul and body, just like you, he has more energy. All things considered, he should be the strongest among the Grandmasters."

"But if you think about it carefully, you can't be considered entirely human anymore, who knows? Tsk... You two, one is not human, and the other doesn't seem like human."

“You talk too much, unlike the person you are in the rumors,” the prophet said, standing up.

Su Yuchen smiled and said, "There was a saying in the old days: flesh and blood are weak, but machines can ascend. I want to see if you can ascend mechanically. I'm looking forward to it."

The prophet paused, then disappeared into the darkness.

The prophet explained the pros and cons of the domineering cultivation technique he received from Liu Ye, to which Liu Ye replied that he couldn't stop practicing it.

Liu Ye stated, "Let them do whatever they want; we'll see what happens when things really explode."

Su Yuchen smiled, closed his eyes, and was once again enveloped by the Taiyin Ice Phoenix.

The night was deep and long.

Chapter 494 Su Yuchen's Scheme

the next day.

In the courtyard, Su Yuchen looked at Liu Ye and Liu Ruolan, who had come uninvited, and was very puzzled.

Liu Ruolan was equally puzzled. After the fruit tea was served, Qiuju and several maids were also puzzled, so everyone looked at Liu Ye, who had a blank and silly smile on his face.

"You're... in love?" Su Yuchen asked, somewhat uncertainly.

Liu Ye raised his head, a forced smile playing on his lips, and said, "You all know?"

Su Yuchen lay back on the recliner helplessly. He said he didn't understand. Since his first life as a corporate slave, he seemed to have never been in love. And his only first love ended without him ever having a chance to confess.

Now, Su Yuchen says: I just want to see the view from the highest point.

Liu Ruolan and Xia Zhu shook their heads together, indicating that they didn't know.

Faced with the curious gazes of several people, Liu Ye said, "I met someone I like at Qingmiao yesterday. It was love at first sight that lasted a lifetime."

"Didn't you just tell the girl directly?" Su Yuchen asked.

Liu Ye shook his head and said, "That won't do. At the very least, we should do as the Romans do and learn about it first."

"So you're planning to go and find out today? Wouldn't it be even more impolite for a grown man like you to come to my door? Or should I ask my aunt to come and ask about the situation for you first?" Su Yuchen said jokingly.

Seeing how seriously Liu Ye and Liu Ruolan were talking, Liu Ruolan couldn't help but feel anxious. If her father found out, who knew what kind of trouble it would cause.

Liu Ye awkwardly scratched his head and said, "Um, I still don't know who that girl is."

Seeing his words, Liu Ruolan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself: It's good that you don't know, it's good that you don't know.

Then Liu Ye said, "Didn't you say you know a lot of things? Do you know whose girl that is?"

Seeing the little girl's frightened look, Su Yuchen shrugged and said helplessly, "Shouldn't you have discovered this yourself? Besides, fate brings people together even from a thousand miles away, while those who are not destined will not meet even face to face!"

“But fate also requires effort,” Liu Ye retorted.

Su Yuchen pointed to the door and said, "Then why don't you hurry up and go find your destiny? What's the use of staying here with someone like me who never leaves the house?"

Liu Ye nodded and said, "You're right. Ruoruo, let's go."

"Where to?" Liu Ruolan asked timidly.

Liu Ye replied affirmatively, "Ming Temple."

………………

After Liu Ye and his sister left, Dongmei couldn't help but say, "Was that the one at the Ming Temple yesterday? She's from the palace. Has Young Master Liu Ye taken a fancy to one of the concubines? This...this is too...oh my!"

Xia Zhu gave her a hard flick on the forehead and scolded, "I think you've lost your mind. What concubine would leave the palace? Even if His Majesty favors her, it's not allowed."

"Could it be a princess? But... I've never heard of her before?" Qiuju said.

"Could it be Miss Li? Isn't she also His Majesty's relative?" Dongmei asked.

The three of them looked at Zhang Yi, who had gone to the Ming Temple yesterday. Zhang Yi quickly waved his hand and said, "I don't know. I was just following your instructions to wait at a distance outside the Ming Temple."

"Tch!!!" The three maids rolled their eyes in unison.

Su Yuchen waved his hand, dismissing them all. Once they were alone, he shook his head and chuckled, "If you're destined to be together, you don't need to bother; if you're not, you'll be busy as a dog. Does the prophet just want to see his wife first? He's really got plenty of free time."

During a casual conversation with Liu Ruolan, Liu Ye talked about his true feelings, which was that he wanted to marry the "foodie girl" from the Ming Temple.

Liu Ruolan decides to help her brother escape his arranged marriage.

In early summer, Liu Ye bought the same flavor of candied hawthorn, but instead of his beloved 'foodie girl' appearing, he encountered the Imperial Guard Commander, Gong Jiu, who was lying in wait.

Unfortunately, their fate was not meant to be. Gong Jiu did not wait for Liu Ye, but instead met the Prophet. Gong Jiu coughed up blood for his actions against Liu Ye yesterday.

Liu Ye firmly believes in this wonderful fate and plans to meet the Miss Li first. If she is a "foodie girl," he will marry her; otherwise, he will politely decline the marriage proposal.

The power of love surpasses immeasurable wealth; isn't that moving?

Looking at the narration, Su Yuchen thought for a moment and couldn't help but chuckle. He then cleared his mind of distractions, closed his eyes, and began to cultivate. In this world, he had another plan he wanted to try, and that required strength.

………………

As the primordial energy of heaven and earth is continuously refined into true essence, this body undergoes new changes every day. Since he is determined to shatter the void, the more true essence he needs, the better. Su Yuchen does not want to be dismembered into 'fuel' again.

As his primordial spirit was unsealed and he merged with all things in heaven and earth, Su Yuchen realized that he had underestimated the world's accumulated power.

Perhaps it was the overwhelming power of thousands upon thousands of nuclear bombs, or perhaps it was the nascent Heavenly Dao consciousness that deliberately indulged itself. In any case, in the polar high altitudes of this world, the atmosphere, which was originally meant to provide protection, was torn open with countless tiny holes, like a honeycomb.

These small openings, day and night, continuously draw energy from the sun in outer space and inject it into the world. This energy, which originally roamed high in the void, is then 'pushed' to a certain place. After processes such as sedimentation, filtration, and re-release, it transforms into a gentler form of energy, which is then rapidly decomposed and absorbed by the world.

So even though nearly a thousand years have passed since the old era, the primordial energy of heaven and earth in this world has not diminished but has instead become even stronger.

Unfortunately, after countless instances of artificial intelligence interference from the old era, the evolution of this world has been interrupted, and the development of the hybrid has also plunged the newly formed Heavenly Dao consciousness into self-contradiction and confusion.

Since ordinary people cannot decide the course of the world, Su Yuchen has decided to help fate make a choice. Thinking about the accumulation of nearly a thousand years in a world, even Su Yuchen couldn't help but feel moved.

"In exchange, I will gladly accept the energy that this world has accumulated and refined over nearly a thousand years."

As Su Yuchen's primordial spirit communicated with heaven and earth and all things, a trace of joy was revealed from the mysterious depths of the void. The originally cloudy weather quickly cleared up, the accumulated clouds dispersed, and the sun shone brightly.

Inside and outside Kyoto, countless people watched as the previously gloomy sky cleared up again.

An auntie who was about to collect her laundry shaded her eyes with her hand, looked up at the sky, and only relaxed after confirming that it wouldn't rain; a scholar who was planning to study quietly looked out the window and decided to go out and visit friends in the spring; an old farmer who was sitting under the eaves of his thatched house, about to smoke a pipe, sighed, got up, picked up his farming tools, and went back to the fields...
