After broadcasting the ancient times live, I handed the system over to the state.

When Xu Haifeng entered the venue wearing sportswear, the audience erupted in cheers loud enough to lift the roof off.

Liu Changchun went to the meeting alone, demonstrating courage and integrity.

Xu Haifeng won China's first Olympic gold medal.

More and more familiar faces entered, perhaps they had grown old, but the cheers they received remained unchanged.

Tonight, the stars are shining brightly.

Tonight, many moving stories of China will be written.

The opening ceremony featured bronze artifacts from the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, the Qin dynasty's standardization of weights and measures, the Han dynasty's Silk Road, the Tang dynasty's prosperous and inclusive era, the Song dynasty's movable type printing and compass, and the Ming dynasty's Zheng He's voyages to the Western Ocean...

Now, we have inherited the legacy of our predecessors and are forging ahead into the future.

Not only the past, but also the present, the magnificent scenery of our great land unfolds before us like a series of paintings.

This is a love letter written by later generations to their ancestors.

Zhu Qinggu's eyes were constantly moist, and through the live stream, she also saw that many other people's eyes were moist as well.

The world may not be perfect, but many people are changing it with their own hands instead of wallowing in self-pity.

If hard work can lead to wealth, then the Chinese people are the ones who deserve the best life.

Amidst the sound of reading aloud, some guest performers appeared holding books, and the cheers in the venue gradually grew louder.

"No wonder they disappeared in a flash; they were on the stage," Meng Haoran said with a laugh, pointing to Li Bai and Du Fu on the stage.

Gao Shi said, "They've been missing for a while now, so they must be rehearsing!"

They couldn't help but feel envious as they looked at the stage; after all, being able to go up there, according to Zhu Qinggu, meant national recognition.

Meng Haoran stroked his chin, seemingly thinking that his popularity among the people was still quite good.

On the stage, there are many more than just Du Fu and Li Bai, two figures who are indispensable to any discussion of Chinese poetry. Zhu Qinggu can recall their works and verses from his Chinese textbooks with his eyes closed.

Those words and phrases contain their understanding of the world and their reflections on life.

The spirit within has been passed down from generation to generation.

It wasn't just the military generals; when they saw the Lanling King's Breaking Formation Dance and the Qin King's Breaking Formation Dance intertwined and merged, they seemed to see thousands of troops forged in blood rushing towards them in the rhythm of the drums.

There are also stories of Wang Zhaojun's journey to the border and Huang Daopo's weaving.

Many of these programs had already been shown on the celestial screen, but they still felt it wasn't enough.

The thousands of years of Chinese civilization, the magnificent land, and every individual in the long river of history have become a part of that civilization, firmly supporting it and passing it down.

And now it's 2025.

The dazzling fireworks burst into flames, illuminating the night sky.

I can’t sleep tonight.

……

Last night's opening ceremony was unforgettable, and today the Myriad Realms Mall officially opens.

To prevent overcrowding, an application is required to enter.

Those who have received applications are also subject to time restrictions when staying here. Even with these time restrictions, people who come here still repeatedly watch last night's opening ceremony on the electronic screens.

Zhuge Liang had been approved to come long ago because the contestants were allowed to acclimatize to the competition venue in advance.

Zhuge Liang signed up for military strategy, and in this regard, he naturally believed that he had some expertise.

So today, he and Liu Bei and others arrived at the Myriad Realms Mall early in the morning.

The portal can lead to several places in the Myriad Realms Mall: the plaza, the entrance to the exhibition hall, the entrance to the shopping mall, and then the new city.

They have more time than others and are not in a hurry to go to the mall. The plaza is bound to be the place with the most people because it is the starting point of everything. Everyone wants to get as much as possible and save time.

The area in front of the exhibition hall was crowded, so they chose to go to the new town instead.

Upon entering the new city, they saw a statue erected there, its subject unknown, depicting a valiant figure with hooves raised high.

When they got closer, they realized it was Huo Qubing.

There were even quite a few candies and snacks here. I wonder what Huo Qubing himself would think if he came here and saw them?

Everywhere you look, there are green trees and lawns, all very well maintained, with many slogans displayed nearby.

For example, slogans like "Civilization for You and Me," "Even Grass Feels Pain," and "Please Do Not Litter" are marked as being from "Xincheng Square."

"This is Xincheng Square..." Liu Bei looked around and felt that it was flat and comfortable. The greenery was lush and green. In the middle of the square, the 'Heroes' Monument' stood there, and the leaves of the green trees rustled.

There were also quite a few people here, dressed in all sorts of clothes and with all sorts of outfits, walking around or wandering around these reliefs, looking at the inscriptions next to the reliefs and the stories they told.

Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up, and he gently fanned himself with his feather fan, a smile playing on his lips. "It seems there are quite a few people here."

"What a magnificent and imposing stone sculpture... I wonder if we have any?" Zhang Fei said with envy, then laughed loudly, "Even if we don't have it here, we certainly do have it elsewhere."

"Hmm." Guan Yu stroked his beard and nodded.

"Shall we leisurely enjoy the scenery here?" Liu Bei was also unusually relaxed, his brows and eyes unfurrowed. "It's been countless years since we brothers last traveled together. Now that I think about it, we've all grown old."

The group looked at each other and noticed a few strands of white hair among their locks. Even the relatively young Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun couldn't help but look aged.

After years of fighting and working tirelessly day and night to restore the Han Dynasty, who could have imagined such a strange scene today?

After exchanging glances, the group burst into laughter and then went off together, wanting to enjoy themselves without a care in the world.

They didn't just stroll around the square; they gradually moved to the edge, where many people were buying food and drinks.

Some people were even watching the spectacle.

It turns out this is an unmanned store. Everything inside is clearly priced, and when you take something out, the points for that item are automatically deducted from your personal account.

A child bought a bubble machine that he could hold in his hand, and colorful little bubbles floated up and surrounded everyone.

A bubble floated to Guan Yu's side and then popped softly with a "pop".

Not far away, a child dressed in Tang Dynasty clothing was running around, giggling with a child dressed in Ming Dynasty clothing.

They were free and cheerful, with bright smiles on their faces, showing none of the fear or numbness seen in people during wartime or in refugees.

This was the type of person Guan Yu saw most often.
