The ancients watched me play the Starry Sky Railway

"Let's make an exchange? An exchange of 'memories'. I dreamed of a ray of light, a crystal cup."

“The crystal light spoke to me: Please listen to the fable about the starry sky.”

"A mother's voice whispers softly, and the space that feels like the narrow passage of fate is radiating a beautiful light."

"The scene changed, and a slender hand was gently moving the cards on the table, with candles burning around it."

"A nameless man, a lifeless man. Coming from the other side of the wasteland, clothed in the glory of the stars."

"Just keep riding the solar wind, and you will eventually return to my arms."

“Just keep moving toward the light.”

"The hand selected a card and turned it over."

"Destruction—Nanook!"

"Could it be that the sky curtain this time is introducing the Star God?!" Yang Jian stood up in a flash, his face full of excitement.

But soon, the excitement was suppressed again.

"Queen, we have to choose carefully this time. We can't worship star gods randomly anymore." He said to Dugu Jialuo beside him.

I just paid homage to the Protector Star God, and it almost made it impossible for him to be the emperor!

If it weren't for the Queen Dugu Qieluo who suggested him a method of capturing barbarians and using them as slaves, he, the emperor, would have been finished in just a few years!

If he worships the wrong star god again and receives some strange blessing... his heart really can't bear it.

"Haha, you are not the only one who can see the sky curtain. If you don't worship, can you expect the people not to worship as well?" Dugu Jialuo rolled his eyes at him.

“…” Yang Jian’s breathing stagnated.

It’s true!

Then let’s worship it. What if the people worship the star god, and then that star god only blesses the people?

It will be even worse then!

"A majestic being, covered in wounds and with golden blood flowing from its chest, slowly emerged."

"But the light began to burn, piercing the clouds and turning into golden death."

"Towers fell, and people fled, for the sun was about to set, and it was horribly damaged."

"Hunting—Lan!"

"But the little ones on earth, please do not be alarmed."

"A deity appears, its upper body human, its lower body horse... but the back of the horse is a wheel. It holds a longbow high, and light condenses into arrows."

"A bolt of light will arrive to purge the evil."

"You must follow the tracks and visit the direction of the storm!"

"The hunting star god... he seems to be a good god, the kind that specializes in hunting down evil." Li Shimin smacked his lips, feeling very conflicted.

The guardian star god is also a good god!

As a result, this worship caused such a mess!

Fortunately, he had originally planned to attack the Turks. At that time, he would capture the entire Turkic tribe and use them to replace the slaves!

"Your Majesty, we still have to build a statue." Changsun Wuji was also helpless: "It's impossible for the people to build it and we don't, right?"

"Oh... build it, build it." What else could Li Shimin say? Of course he had to build it.

"Wisdom—Broad Knowledge Master!"

"The celestial bodies keep their secrets, counting the roots that connect all things."

"But it was silent, like the fog at the center of the universe."

"A gigantic mechanical entity, flashing red light, with countless tubes connecting to the depths of the universe."

"Listen to the silence, and you will know where the stars rest."

"Abundance—Pharmacist!"

"'Strike the earth with the staff,' they said, 'once, twice...'"

"The tiny sprout will grow tall, and the rain will fall from the branches, driving away disease and poison."

"In the canopy, there is a goddess-like deity. She sits cross-legged on one leg, the other hanging casually. She has multiple arms, and both her hands and legs have numerous eyeballs!"

"It's hard to imagine that kindness and strangeness can appear in the same deity at the same time!"

"This, this, this...how can there be such a strange god?" Wu Zetian was horrified.

When she first saw the God of Fertility, she thought that there were gods in the other world similar to those in the Buddhist scriptures.

Whether it's the sitting posture or the prints on the hands, they are so similar!

When she heard the name "Medicine Master", the first person she thought of was Medicine Master Vaiduryaprabha Tathagata.

But Medicine Buddha doesn’t look like this, he is blue!

And... with so many hands and eyes, it looks very much like the Thousand-Armed and Thousand-Eyed Guanyin Bodhisattva.

But that Guanyin Bodhisattva is not that weird, she still looks very sacred.

"Mother, the gods from another world would of course seem weird to you from our perspective. But isn't it enough if people from another world think they are normal?" Princess Taiping said.

"That's right." Wu Zetian gradually calmed down.

As a Buddhist, the shock I felt when I saw such a star god was quite great.

"No matter what, this must be a benevolent deity. Look at what's written on the sky screen. This deity brings down rain and repels illness and poison. He's as compassionate as the Bodhisattvas... Let's have a statue made of this deity and place it in the temple."

“Nothingness—IX!”

“‘Blind your eyes,’ they said, ‘and let not the approaching darkness frighten your mind.’”

"Because it will make your soul feel like it's filled with lead and your feet feel numb."

"Under the immense force of gravity, countless stars are drawn in a certain direction... There lies a vast, pitch-black void, empty of anything."

"Suddenly, that hollow opened its eyes—0.o"

"This is the Star God of Nothingness."

"Pfft!" Zhao Gou couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Earlier, he was still shocked by this god.

The powerful pressure made his legs tremble like sieves.

But when the Void Star God opened his eyes, he really couldn't help it.

"Why does this Void Star God look so funny?"

"Your Majesty, he is a god after all." Qin Hui persuaded in a low voice.

"I know, I know. It's no big deal." Zhao Gou waved his hands impatiently.

He is the kind of emperor who just gives up.

Capture the barbarians? He was lucky enough not to be captured by the barbarians!

As for the idea that if you just follow the rules of protecting the territory and the people, you can gain shield skills... so what? Can you defeat the Jin people?

He doesn't believe it!

As an emperor who was frightened into a eunuch by the Jin people, he had no courage to fight against the Jin people.

He himself knew that with the blessing bestowed by the guardian star god, he would not be able to rule as emperor for long.

Either he would be killed by the Jin people, or before that he would be defeated by the rebel army that believed in the guardian star god...

It doesn’t matter, let’s go!

Once I accept my weakness, I am invincible!

While you are still on the throne, enjoy yourself as long as you can.

"Kiribo--Kliper!"

“‘Open the stately gates,’ they said, ‘and take up the lapis lazuli tablets.’”

"Read aloud, and you will know what the mud bricks are made of, and who laid the foundation of the wall!"
