Chapter 2: Can Time Travel Pass Through Walls?

  Sun Wu remained silent, Sun Ce continued: "Nowadays, people's thinking is becoming more and more westernized. They abandoned the traditional culture left by their ancestors, thinking that indulging themselves is the best way to live. Disloyal, unfilial, and disregarding propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame, yet they don't know that in the end, they will have to pay a painful price for their degeneration. It's just that the time hasn't come yet! And there has never been any medicine for regret in this world."

  "There are not many men as emotionally simple as you anymore. Alright, don't be sad for this kind of woman anymore, excellent people are not afraid that there is no one excellent to love them. And she will eventually pay the price for her behavior!"

  After a while, seeing Xiao Sun gradually calm down, Sun Ce spoke: "Now I can talk about the matter that I need your help with."

  Sun Wu Shou mechanically nodded, wiping away the tears from the corner of his eyes. With a low and depressed tone, he said: "Thank you for telling me the truth, I understand now! I won't punish myself with someone else's mistakes! Please instruct me on what to do."

  "First ask you, do you know about my past situation?" Sun Ce asked.

  "Of course, you are one of the most powerful people in our Sun family's history. From your father's death, it only took you nine years to rise from scratch and become a master of a third of the Han Dynasty, with many wise advisors and brave generals supporting you."

  "It is indeed a case of 'many soldiers and generals, with talents galore'. You have laid a solid foundation for the establishment of the entire Wu State. If you were given enough time, you would be a heroic figure capable of unifying China. You are also the pride of our Sun family."

  Sun Wu replied seriously.

  "Come on, my ancestors, my idols, my favorite Three Kingdoms heroes, how could I not be familiar with his information?"

  "Stop, no need to sing praises anymore, all these have already become things of the past."

  "Am I a hero? But it seems that many heroes die in plots. Looking through ancient and modern times, how many heroes really died on the battlefield?"

  Sun Ce heard this and smiled slightly with a hint of mockery on his handsome face.

  "Continuing, 'I used to think that way too, I must be able to become a hero, a true Jiangdong overlord who can create new history. I must be able to sweep across the land with the support of many companions and build a brand new Great Han Empire. Return the world to its former glory. I also promised her that she would be the empress revered by all, but I couldn't fulfill my promise to her. I owe her an apology!'"

  Sun Ce's voice gradually sank down as he spoke of this.

  "I understand, I understand you, it's just that you lacked a bit of time. If only there was more time, you would have definitely achieved your ideals. But... alas! This is the true meaning of 'dying before achieving success', often making heroes shed tears!"

  Speaking of this, Sun Wuzong's mood also became heavy. "If it weren't for those three damned assassins under Xu Gong's command, you wouldn't have heroic regrets either."

  "Assassin! Is he a guest of Lord Guan?"

  "Don't you know?"

  Sun Wu Shou asked in doubt, "According to historical records, after you killed Xu Gong in 200 AD, three of his retainers wanted to avenge him and ambushed you by the river while you were out hunting. They shot and injured you, but because your face was wounded, you became enraged at the damage to your appearance and refused to rest properly, leading to your wound bursting open and death."

  "Nonsense! Can you even believe the history books? They're just superficial things to fool the common people. What is Xu Gong, anyway? If he really had such a powerful door guest, how could I have killed him so easily? There's actually a lot of intrigue behind this."

  "But what exactly it was, I didn't have time to investigate clearly. At that time, I was indeed injured, but not very seriously. It can be said that I am a general who has been riding horses since childhood, wouldn't I be on guard when encountering suspicious people? Moreover, I have fought on horseback for a lifetime, would I sit stupidly on the horse and let others shoot my face? If it were really like this, I'm afraid I would have died a thousand times on the battlefield!"

  "As for getting angry! It's not that I'm boasting, but I've always been a broad-minded person. In this regard, even Zhou Yu can't compare with me, so he has always admired me. You think about it, I have a generous heart to tolerate others' mistakes."

  "Can't I withstand a little setback on my own body? This historian should be fed shit! How absurdly fabricated, it's simply speechless! In fact, I was only shot in the shinbone by a poisonous arrow while dodging an attack. After Hua Tuo's apprentice helped me treat the wound and detoxify, I was fine. But that night, after drinking a bowl of medicine to clear up the remaining toxin, I fell into madness."

  Sun Wu Shou immediately continued saying "Someone must have tampered with the medicine!"

  "Does everyone know this? Do you need to say it?"

  "But why doesn't it say anything in history books?"

  Sun Ce gave him a white eye, but was too lazy to answer. He said: "After I arrived here, I was picked up by my master and immediately took me to the East China Sea to learn art. This time it's been 800 years. So what happened later is not very clear."

  "All I heard was that my family's later situation was very miserable. I don't know what happened to my younger brother! Why did he treat them like this, they are his own relatives! In those years, he was so respectful to me, and I loved him so much."

  "I entrusted him with the entire foundation of Jiangdong, but he..."

  "Originally, Zhang Zibu and the others suggested that I hand over military power to my third brother, Uncle Yu. But I was worried that Zhongmou, this elder brother who has been somewhat gloomy since childhood, would oppose it, and when the time comes, the brothers will be at odds with each other, and I'm afraid that the great foundation of Jiangdong will be destroyed in an instant!"

  "There must be a problem in here! But I've thought about it for a thousand years and still can't figure it out. Why is that? I'm not resigned to it!"

  "After I completed my studies, I went to the Time and Space Management Headquarters and passed as a First-Class Qinglong Divine General. Then I voluntarily requested to come and manage this place, because unless it's specially approved by the Elder Hall, no god other than the managing divine general can access these Tianyan records."

  "It wasn't until now that I realized the records of Tianyan can only be kept for up to 200 years. After 200 years, the people on this earth have already changed several generations. The grudges and grievances have all been settled, so there is no need for the data to exist anymore. Therefore, I couldn't find any records from that time at all. Not to mention finding out the truth about what happened in the past."

  "Before I came here, Master told me that if I really wanted to figure out what happened back then, after being an administrator for a thousand years, there would be one chance. And it's the only chance, and all I can do is wait here for a thousand years. Today is already the last day of this millennium. It seems like fate! Looks like this opportunity was meant for you."

  Sun Wu Shou didn't ask the way "Why are you sure it's me? Why didn't you go back and take a look yourself that year, to clarify these things?"

  Sun Ce looked at him deeply and continued: "Do you think crossing through time and space is that simple a thing?!"

  "You've watched too many! The operation of time and space has its own rules, it's not something that can be casually disrupted. If anyone could travel through time randomly, history would have been messed up long ago."

  "When I first came here, my soul couldn't even condense into a physical body, and the protection of this room couldn't last long, let alone facing those omnipresent time-space storms. After I became a god, my energy increased greatly, making it even more impossible to traverse."

  "Then this new soul of mine isn't any different, it'll just turn into a wisp of smoke the moment I step out. How can I possibly help you?"

  "Shut up and listen to me!" Sun Ce said angrily.

  Xiao Sun involuntarily shrunk his neck and weakly responded with a "Oh! I was just casually asking, didn't say anything!"

  "The master said that only someone who is perfectly matched with me can break through the seal of reincarnation and return to my past under the protection of my slightest divine power, because only such a person can traverse time and space with minimal energy fluctuations."

  "It won't cause a drastic change, but because I've become a god and want to transcend, the energy fluctuations caused will be enormous, most likely causing the collapse of reincarnation, which would be a catastrophic disaster. It may even lead to the complete destruction of this space-time."

  "Moreover, the gods who traverse are bound to perish in the turbulent flow of time and space. No matter how powerful they are, they cannot escape the power of this rule. Therefore, there will never be a powerful person who can traverse time and space."

  Upon hearing this, Sun Wushou raised his hand and asked in a soft voice, feigning nervousness: "Excuse me, may I ask one more small question?"

  Sun Ce looked at him, and couldn't help but smile: "You've gotten me angry, you really are an ignorant guy. Alright, stop pretending to be pitiful! I know what you want to ask! Is it about the Perfect Man?"

  Little Sun stared blankly at Sun Ce, muttering to himself: "Your smile is so handsome it's heavenly! I'm even more handsome than Old Tang was in his youth. You're even more handsome than me, I'm really hurt. Are you the one who has charmed all the beauties under heaven? That's why someone is jealous of you and wants to harm you with this poisonous medicine!"

  "You're handsome? With that look, it's just ordinary, still handsome, wake up! Don't be infatuated anymore! However, before the truth is revealed, this may not necessarily be an impossible direction."

  Little Sun said with a sullen face: "Ancestor! Can't you just give me some face? It's not like I'm not handsome, right? This is too hurtful to my self-esteem, it's too crushing. But calling you ancestor really is awkward."

  Sun Ce smiled and said, "Alright, stop arguing, we don't have much time! You can call me Big Brother, it's easier for you not to struggle. I haven't heard this title in exactly 1800 years! It just so happens that the cycle of 30 Jiazi has returned! This year is also Geng Chen year. As for why I want you to call me Big Brother, it's related to the task I'm going to ask you to do."

  "That's great, big brother is above, receiving a bow from his younger brother."

  Xiao Sun immediately hit the snake with his stick and first made sure of the title, otherwise it would be too tiring to call someone "old ancestor" all day long.

  "I know, big brother, you want me to help you go back to the past and find out how you ended up here! No need to say it, I'm the only one who's perfect for this task. Since that's the case, I'll take on this trip for big brother!"

  "I'll do my best to help you find the answer. But you should teach me how to turn invisible, walk through walls and other special abilities!"

  Xiao Sun secretly thought to himself, "Haha, this time is great, I can go on a free trip to the Three Kingdoms. Let's take a look at the real grand scene, not those fake actions in the film and television bases. Investigate the case, and by the way, let's also take a look at the beauties of the Three Kingdoms, such as Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao or Diao Chan's bathing figure."

  "Just thinking about it makes me want to bleed from the nose. Temptation, temptation, great big temptation! That must be much more exciting than simple images on AV. No kidding, that's the real-life version of the world's top beauty! Who can see something more exciting than what I saw? What a treat for my eyes! Yeah!"

  "My grandson Sun Wushou will make you all envy him to death!"
