All realms have enabled me to achieve the Great Dao.

Lin Chen took the chessboard and went up to the pavilion.

Zhou Yongcheng laughed and said, "Although your Langya Pavilion has good intelligence capabilities, it's completely impossible for you to find out any information about me. You shouldn't let your people waste their time."

Lin Chen was quite shocked to hear this. He did not expect that while he was just out writing down his name, and his subordinates had only just received the note, Zhou Yongcheng already knew what he was going to do.

Lin Chen chuckled twice, feigning ignorance, and said, "What are you saying, senior? I don't understand."

Zhou Yongcheng ignored him and waited for Lin Chen to sit down before taking the chess pieces Lin Chen handed him and starting to play.

The two chatted while playing chess.

Zhou Yongcheng placed a chess piece and said, "If Lin Shu were to return to the time before the Chiyan Army was destroyed and before Prince Qi died, and if he also knew his fate, what would he do?"

Lin Chen held the chess piece in mid-air, the question Zhou Yongcheng had asked was rather strange, and he didn't know how to answer it.

Although it's just a hypothetical scenario, the question Zhou Yongcheng raised is problematic in itself.

The idea that Lin Shu could possibly return to the time before the Chiyan Army was destroyed is a bit of a fantasy.

Lin Chen placed the chess piece in the position he had his eye on. Although Zhou Yongcheng's question was a bit far-fetched, he still had to answer: "If Lin Shu could go back to the past, he would definitely stop the Chiyan Army from being destroyed, and it is also possible that he would support Prince Qi to ascend the throne."

Lin Chen's thoughts were similar to Zhou Yongcheng's.

Time flew by, and Zhou Yongcheng and Lin Chen kept an eye on Mei Changsu's situation in Langya Pavilion.

Just like in the original drama, Mei Changsu, through a series of maneuvers, got Emperor Liang to exonerate the Chiyan Army, and the mastermind behind it, Xia Jiang, was executed by slow slicing.

Inside Langya Pavilion, Zhou Yongcheng and Lin Chen chatted while playing chess.

“Lin Shu doesn’t have much time left. Aren’t you going to see him and send him off on his final journey?” Zhou Yongcheng said.

"He exhausted his remaining energy for the cause of the Crimson Flame Army. Now he is completely drained. Alas, this is his fate."

Lin Chen sighed. He was also helpless. He had done his best for Lin Shu, but Lin Shu wouldn't listen.

Zhou Yongcheng did not interfere with Lin Shu's fate, so he died on his way to war, just like in the original story.

Inside Langya Pavilion, Zhou Yongcheng locked onto Lin Shu's soul, controlled the spacetime laws of this world, and caused time to flow backward.

The time reversal only lasted for a blink of an eye. Lin Chen, sitting opposite Zhou Yongcheng, was unaware that they had already traveled back in time.

With a wave of his hand, Zhou Yongcheng's pavilion appeared in the sky above the northern border of Liang Kingdom.

Lin Chen was puzzled by Zhou Yongcheng's actions; he didn't know why Zhou Yongcheng was waving his hand.

He had previously ordered an investigation into Zhou Yongcheng's background, but no matter how his subordinates investigated, they found no information about Zhou Yongcheng, which made him feel that Zhou Yongcheng was unusually mysterious.

Zhou Yongcheng used magic to reveal Lin Shu's condition inside the pavilion.

Looking at the scene in the lobby, Lin Chen was utterly shocked. He began to suspect that Zhou Yongcheng might be a legendary deity.

Zhou Yongcheng has lived in Langya Pavilion for so long, yet he has never displayed any of his methods.

Lin Chen only knew that Zhou Yongcheng was probably a top martial arts master, but he didn't know exactly how skilled he was. No matter how he asked, Zhou Yongcheng would not speak, and would just smile without saying a word, which made Lin Chen feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

Lin Chen pointed to the image of Lin Shu in the lobby and said, "This...this...this is Lin Shu when he was a child? Senior, what's going on?"

Zhou Yongcheng said with a smile, "It's nothing. We've come to a time before the Chiyan Army was wiped out."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen didn't know what to say. He looked outside, but the surroundings were not the familiar Langya Mountain he knew.

At this moment, he remembered the question Zhou Yongcheng had asked him before: what would Lin Shu do if he returned to the time before the Chiyan Army was destroyed? He never expected that his senior would actually bring them back to the time before the Chiyan Army was destroyed.

After the initial shock, Lin Chen looked at the scene unfolding in the lobby.

Lin Shu was also extremely shocked. He remembered that he seemed to be dead. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar environment around him, Lin Shu realized that he was in the military camp in the Northern Territory.

He looked at his hands and the clothes he was wearing. Wasn't this just like when he was a teenager?

If his memory serves him right, after some time he and his father will lead the Chiyan Army to fight against Dayu. After they have dealt with Dayu, the Chiyan Army will be ambushed and destroyed.

Time is of the essence. He needs to convince Prince Qi and his father that the Chiyan Army will be led by Xia Jiang and Xie Yu to rebel. At that time, Xia Jiang and Xie Yu will lead a large army to launch a surprise attack on the Chiyan Army, resulting in its near annihilation.

The matter of rebirth was too bizarre, and no one would believe it if he told them, but he believed that Prince Qi and his father would definitely believe him.

The father is easy to talk to, as they are together, but Prince Qi is far away in Jinling, and it's uncertain whether it will be too late to rescue him.

Without time to think, Lin Shu ran out of the tent and quickly arrived at his father, Commander Lin Xie's tent.

Lin Xie looked at the flustered Lin Shu and scolded him, "As the commander-in-chief, you can't panic in any situation. Look at you now, you don't look like a commander at all."

Lin Shu didn't want to argue with his father at this moment, and said, "Father, I have something of great importance concerning the life and death of my Chiyan Army that I need to discuss with you."

There were other people in the tent at the time, so Lin Shu couldn't reveal his situation.

Lin Xie looked at his son. He knew his son well; he wasn't the kind of person who spoke without reason. He just didn't know what information Lin Shu knew that concerned the life and death of the Chiyan Army.

Seeing this, the others in the tent wisely left Commander Lin's tent.

After everyone else left, Lin Xie said, "You can talk about what's on your mind now."

"Father, what I'm about to say may seem unbelievable, but it's all true. Please believe me..."

Lin Shu then recounted how the Chiyan Army was annihilated, how he escaped death, and how he eventually changed his identity and went to Jinling to exonerate the Chiyan Army.

After listening to his son's account, Lin Xie remained silent and did not question whether what his son said was true or false.

He knew Emperor Liang quite well. Emperor Liang was extremely suspicious. If someone spoke ill of the Chiyan Army in his ear and solemnly presented evidence that the Chiyan Army was plotting a rebellion, he would definitely choose to believe the other person and choose to annihilate the Chiyan Army.

According to Lin Shu, the destruction of the Chiyan Army coincided with the raids on the Qi Prince's Mansion and the Lin Marshal's Mansion, indicating that the destruction of the Chiyan Army was a catalyst for the downfall of the army.

Of course, Lin Xie also had his own guesses. It was possible that Emperor Liang was wary of the Chiyan Army, and at the same time, he was also wary of his son's power in the court.

Prince Qi, the son of Emperor Liang, was a very virtuous prince with great prestige in the court. Many ministers believed that he would be the next emperor of Liang, and even Lin Xie thought so.

This may be why Emperor Liang felt his position was unstable. Since someone was handing him a knife, it was only natural for him to annihilate the Chiyan Army and eliminate the Qi Prince's forces.
