Chapter 225: Past Events and the Reason for Traveling Across
The mighty overlord overcame all obstacles and ascended the throne under the watchful eyes of many heroes, becoming the king who dominated the world.

The Fiery General shoulders everything and ascends the throne surrounded by his companions to plan for the future.

But in the end, the Holy Emperor will put an end to all the chaos and spread his flags across the entire underworld. All evil spirits will be reduced to ashes under the shining starlight, and all the undead will be reborn when the true dragon soars into the sky. A great prosperous age will finally come.

In a small building in the Hall of Heroes, Li Ye secretly squinted his eyes, looked around to make sure that no one was around, then sat up from the bed, put on his shoes and walked out. He was only wearing a single piece of clothing, and the autumn breeze blew over him, making him feel cool.

He just felt a familiar breath, but he couldn't remember who it was. He walked out the door and looked at the waning moon hanging high above his head, and past events emerged in his mind like a kaleidoscope.

For no reason, he recalled his youth.

It’s not the youth in this life, but the youth in the previous life.

He was a freshman. He grew up in a well-off family. Although his parents were not rich, they had enough food and clothing. He was also a good kid praised by his neighbors.

He studied hard for twelve years. He was smart, obedient and well-behaved since childhood. He worked hard and ranked among the top in elementary school, junior high school and high school. While he had excellent grades, he also had comprehensive development in all aspects. He became the "other people's child" in the eyes of many of his classmates' parents.

I did very well in the college entrance examination and was finally admitted to the ideal university of my dreams. The moment I learned that I was admitted, I was filled with great joy and happiness. I truly felt what it meant for my heart to skip a beat. The moment I saw the pre-admission place, my heart was beating like a drum, my internal organs were warm, and my blood was boiling. After that kind of extraordinary surprise and touching feeling, there was a sense of relief and confidence that the dust had settled, and then endless emptiness and confusion, probably just like the lyrics of the song "over the hill".

After graduating from high school, he confessed his love to the girl he liked. On the afternoon when he received his diploma, the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the white clouds red, and in the distance there was a gorgeous sunset. In this beautiful scenery, the girl standing at the gate of the campus smiled at him gently. That smile at that moment was a moving picture that he would never forget.

When they were about to part at night, he somehow said "I love you". The hot summer wind blew up the girl's skirt and moved the corner of the boy's shirt. The moon finally closed its eyes contentedly, and the stars beside it seemed to be blowing trumpets to congratulate him.

The two started a sweet love.

Later in the golden September, he entered the university campus with unknown and curiosity. After a long military training, he decided to take the first solo trip in his life during the National Day holiday. However, the culprit of his time travel was this solo trip.

As a genuine southerner, he had never been to the north, and he was very yearning for the vast Northwest. His first stop was Chang'an, the ancient capital of 13 dynasties, a thousand-year-old capital with thousands of years of historical heritage and cultural accumulation. So he went there. After visiting Chang'an, he went to Huashan, which was not far away, one of the Five Sacred Mountains famous for its danger, Huashan, the western peak.

But an accident happened. Just when he had finally climbed to the top of Mount Huashan after going through numerous hardships, a meteor suddenly streaked across the sky with colorful light and a long tail. Its extremely high speed caused it to rub violently with the air, and flames burned around it. He was very excited at first, because this scene was rare, and he took out his mobile phone to take pictures, but something was wrong as he was taking pictures.

"Eh? What's going on? Why is that meteor getting closer and closer to me?"

The picture in Li Ye's mind became clearer and clearer. He only remembered that the meteor fell directly in front of him, but there was no imagined explosion like Mars hitting the earth. There was no loud noise, no violent explosion, and no violent shock wave. The colorful meteor just lay quietly in front of him.

Quietly. Li Ye, who had been a dutiful servant for 19 years, made a decision that went against his ancestors. People say, "Curiosity kills the cat." Li Ye knew this truth and felt that he should not take risks, but he could not resist the curiosity and slowly approached the meteor step by step.

"If it's a meteorite, maybe it can be sold for a good price!"

He couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

This kind of thing is very common on Earth. Many people like to collect various kinds of meteorites. Some are used for research, while others simply collect them because they have a hobby of collecting. In any case, the prices are driven up very high.

The meteor was actually a colorful bead with mysterious and ancient runes engraved on it. In any case, Li Ye was clueless about nine out of ten things.

Li Ye looked at the mysterious bead lying quietly on the ground, and somehow did an action that changed his life. He stretched out his hand to touch the bead. Sure enough, as expected, an accident was about to happen, but no accident happened.

He brought the mysterious bead back safely and returned to school after the trip.

He made it into a pendant and hung it around his neck. After all, with such a mysterious bead, what if the old man sleeping inside it woke up one day and took him in as his disciple? Wouldn't that be a big success?

Later, he became addicted to the Zhenhunjie comics and anime. He finished reading both the anime and the comics. However, since the anime only releases one season every few years and the comics are updated only once every ten days, it was simply not enough to read them all. So he thought of writing fan fiction, but the good times didn't last long. Zhenhunjie was not as popular as Battle Through the Heavens and Douluo Dalu, and the number of fan fiction was extremely limited. He soon finished all the fan fiction he could read. Finally, he decided to write one himself, and he stayed up all night typing away, slumping over his laptop.

He lost consciousness instantly.

That’s right, he died suddenly.

Then, the bead carried Li Ye's soul and rushed towards a distant place where his fate was uncertain. Li Ye's soul was wiped out in the torrent of time and space, and only a little bit of his true spirit was protected by the magic bead and came to the world of Zhenhun Street.

The once strong emotions have long been washed away by time. The past is often like this, gone forever, can only be recalled but not reproduced.

Those people who once accompanied me have become nothing more than part of my story.

Tonight, the weather was clear and the moon was bright. He thought of more people and more things. It was as if he had just woken up from a big dream.

Finally, the young man in white stretched his arms lazily and recited a verse he had learned before. He thought it was very good then, and he still thinks it is now.

"The night of parting from the Red Mansion is sad, the scented lamp is half-lit and the tassel curtains are half-rolled..."

The long sword was unsheathed, and the young man in white clothes drew the sword. The sound of the sword rang loudly and the recitation was clear and precise.

The young man thought and chanted.

"Now I recall the joy of Jiangnan. At that time, I was young and dressed in thin spring clothes. I rode a horse and leaned on a sloping bridge. The whole building was filled with red sleeves waving..."

"I was young and my clothes were thin." The young man repeated in a daze. Thinking of this, he suddenly smiled, stopped buttoning his sword, stopped reciting, and stared at the Xinning Tower under the moonlight. He was still that fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

Suddenly, he discovered something that he had long ignored: what exactly was that magic pearl? And where was it now?

Obviously, the divine bead was not something that appeared in the plot. Was it a coincidence or inevitability that the divine bead brought him to the world of Zhenhun Street?
"That divine pearl should still be in my body, right? Maybe it's hidden deep in my soul?"

"Why did that magic pearl appear beside me? Why did I, who am usually cautious and well-behaved, go to get that magic pearl?"

He vaguely smelled the scent of conspiracy. He seemed to be trapped in a huge trap, but he had no clue.

"Forget it, why think so much? The most important thing is to improve your own strength. Don't think about these things. Even if it is really a conspiracy, I can't fight against them now. Let's think about the previous things first!"

So he turned around and went back into the building, continuing to sit cross-legged and exhale, cultivating his spiritual power.

He wants to be the supreme ruler of the world!
He wants to be a hero admired by everyone!
He is interested in the unrivaled top position!
He longs for the freedom and ease that comes with having experienced the world!

Li Ye was confused because he had too many pursuits and too many thoughts in his heart. He didn't know what he wanted in his heart and where his own path was.

The more people want, the more they think, but in the end they don’t even know what they want.

There is no need to worry at all. All he can do is to move forward courageously. There is no way back. No matter whether he is in a huge chess game or whether there is some mastermind behind the scenes, he has no choice but to keep moving forward, forward, and forward!
At this moment, Li Ye realized it!

Master, I understand!

Since you want everything, then just conquer and dominate the world. As long as you dominate the world, you will naturally be the supreme ruler, a hero, and a top powerhouse. Your will will be conveyed by everyone.

However, he believes in the idea of ​​political justice and will work hard to create a peaceful and prosperous world to benefit the people of the underworld. Otherwise, he is no different from Xiang Kunlun!
To understand the heart of Tao and be in harmony with Heaven, one must follow the guidance of one's own heart of Tao.

This is like when you lend money to a creditor and sign a contract to follow his orders, if you violate the contract, you will be severely punished by the contract.

If one realizes one's own Dao heart but does not follow its guidance, the consequence is that the Dao heart will be obscured and one's cultivation will stop there.

This is the path chosen by Li Ye. Just as he said, conquer all conquerable lands, dominate all forces that can be dominated. All living beings can understand his will, and everything in the world is under his control!

At that time, he will be the real emperor!
There is no way of retreating on this road, because no matter who you are, no one will allow others to stand over your head, so Li Ye must give his all every step forward.

The whole world is your enemy, nothing is worse than this!
On the other side, Li Yunlong and Wu Suqin rode their horses, swaying back and forth, traveling around the mountains and rivers, enjoying the scenery of the underworld, while heading towards the direction of the City of Heroes. Along the way, they saw injustice and drew their swords to help, killing many evil spirits, ferocious beasts and bandits, just like a pair of chivalrous lovers.

"Lord Wei, do you think highly of Li Ye? He invited us to work for him, why did you agree so readily?"

Li Yunlong asked Li Jing with a little doubt.

Duke of Wei!

Looking at the great Tang Dynasty, there is only one person who can be called Duke Wei!

Li Jing!

The one who can be called "the one who can discuss the art of Sun and Wu" is this man. He is a man of both civil and military talents, a general and a prime minister, and he has made great military achievements for the unification and consolidation of the Tang Dynasty. He defeated Xiaoliang, defeated Fugongtuo, unified the southern part of the Tang Dynasty, destroyed the Turks, and pacified Tuyuhun. He not only had practice, but also systematic theory, and wrote "Li Jing's Six Military Mirrors" and "Wei Gong's Art of War". He is an unparalleled military god!

One of the Ten Sages of the Temple of Martial Arts, one of the two Lis of the Tang Dynasty, a well-deserved military god of the Tang Dynasty, and one of the four great war gods of "Bai Han Li Yue" together with Bai Qi, Han Xin, and Yue Fei. He is a representative figure of those who are good at fighting but have great military exploits.

No matter whether it is civil war or foreign war, land battle or naval battle, cavalry or infantry, no matter whether it is desert, plateau, plains, rivers and lakes, all kinds of battles, all kinds of arms and all kinds of terrains, he can command them at will and with ease, and he is the most comprehensive commander.

Never failed in life!
As a person who can be compared with Sun Wu and Wu Qi, no matter how ruthless his temperament is, his political vision will definitely not be much different, not to mention that Li Jing is even more brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, and is a powerful figure.

Before gaining his approval, even though Li Ye had the bloodline of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, if he was just mediocre, there was no hope of him working for him.

Li Jing is definitely not the kind of person who will follow you just because you have the Li Tang bloodline. He has very high vision. Following the unparalleled commander-in-chief like Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, how could he look down on a mediocre person who only has bloodline but does nothing?

"Yunlong, you know that I have always had high standards. The first reason why I recognized Li Ye is that I saw a huge ambition in his eyes!"

A person may not have great strength or huge power, but if he does not even have the enterprising mindset, then it is really over. Without tremendous ambition and an indomitable momentum, how can you make these fierce generals find their target to follow you?

Now, the ambition revealed by Li Ye is enough for Li Jing to find a reason to serve him.

"Of course, this is not the only reason. He possesses both the body of a martial god and the strongest human martial spirit. He possesses both the martial godhood and the power of a ghost king. Such a terrifying talent is extremely rare. Such an outstanding descendant of the Li family is indeed worth helping."

"Also, General Feihu, General Xue, General Luo and Taoist Yuan are all willing to be his guardian spirits. This is already very convincing. They are all proud and arrogant people, and their vision is no worse than mine. Since they all recognize Li Ye, then Li Ye must be a lord worthy of serving!"

"Finally, and most importantly, I sensed the aura of His Majesty Taizong in Li Ye."
