Jiang Yuan, an ordinary person from Earth, finds himself transported to another world, becoming a different Jiang Yuan in a realm filled with mystery and fantasy. In this world, individuals can cultivate their abilities to perform feats as miraculous as turning rivers and capturing the stars. However, Jiang Yuan's existence in this new world is far from stable. He inherits the identity and a series of troubles and challenges of his predecessor.

In the beginning, Jiang Yuan only wants to fully enjoy his new life, but fate doesn't afford him much respite. By a stroke of luck, he acquires a mysterious wooden carving, which seems to conceal the deep secrets of this world...

If I stand with humanity, then humanity shall flourish for hundreds of generations without end!

If I enter the path of demons, demonic flames will surge, and oceans of blood will flow!

As a sage, I shall help all beings, offering salvation to the world!

As an emperor, I shall be revered, with all directions submitting to me alone!

As an enlightened one, I shall follow in the footsteps of the sages before me, singing a war song of a prosperous yet melancholic era, shedding blood on the path to immortality!

Jiang Yuan smiled slightly, a hint of smugness in his expression. "Generals, please take a seat."

Wang Yang and the others sat down, and Jiang Yuan also sat down. With a smile on his face, he said, "I didn't expect my cultivation breakthrough to cause such a stir among you three."

Sun Buyi smiled. "Commander Jiang's breakthrough is a joyous occasion worthy of celebration by the entire City Guard."

Jiang Yuan looked intrigued. "Wouldn't a grand celebration be a bit excessive? After all, this is merely a personal matter of mine. It wouldn't be right for me to trouble you all on my account."
