But as events unfolded, they drew in the gods of the Ten Western Realms—he had no choice but to prepare in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around that man there was neither immortal aura nor magic treasure radiance; everyone saw clearly he was an ordinary-looking young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly remembered something, jumped up, took down the blackboard, carved “Tang Jin” beside “Liang Xiaoying” with a steel needle, then hung the board back in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Jiangdong’s fall, the world is now fully unified; Lu Bu’s ascension to the throne is merely a matter of time.
