Rewrite the myth and become the Taoist!

Chapter 180: My natal character, my foster father, Dong Cao Liu
It’s amazing to see that Lu Bu actually expressed such a unique insight into the “troubled times”.

Liu Bei was stunned and lowered his head in deep thought.

Is this world a chaotic one for him, or a prosperous one?

He came from a declining family, grew up in poverty, and had an unforgettable memory.

He often woke up from hunger in the middle of the night. The deep hunger made him unable to think. At that time, "staying alive" and "eating enough" were his biggest wishes.

When he was young, he weaved and sold shoes to make a living. Even with the help of his uncle, he already lived a very difficult life.

Liu Bei thought he had experienced hardships since childhood but was indomitable. After studying, he traveled with a sword for a while. Suddenly, he realized that his difficult period was bullshit.

His childhood was simply the life that others only dreamed of!
At least he hasn't fallen to the point of eating dirt... When you are extremely hungry, you can eat anything.

Liu Bei's eyes gradually became firm.

This is the troubled times!
He wants to put an end to this shitty chaos!!

"Mr. Lu!! This is not a prosperous age!! It is an absolute hell of chaos! Go out and take a look at this world, where there are starving people everywhere and nine out of ten houses are empty! What hurts me most is that I hate that I am too weak to put an end to this chaotic world!"

Liu Bei's eyes were red as he stared at Lu Bu blankly, his heart surging with emotions.

But the gentle young man in front of him possesses the power to change the world.

Liu Bei no longer hesitated, and suddenly stood up, bowed deeply to Lu Bu, and spoke earnestly:
"For the sake of all the people in this world, I dare to ask Mr. Lu to help save the people from the dire straits. I am willing to give my all, serve you at all times, and go through fire and water without hesitation. I only hope that the suffering of this chaotic world can be ended as soon as possible, and the world can have a peaceful and prosperous era!"

"Big brother!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stood up at the same time.

However, Liu Bei remained bowed and was unwilling to stand up for a long time.

Lu Bu stared at the passionate Liu Bei in front of him, as if a blazing flame rose from Liu Bei's body and transformed into a red dragon, circling into the sky. Lu Bu couldn't help but show a look of disbelief and surprise on his face.

This person... reached the "boundary between man and god" with just one sentence?
Is this the demeanor that a warrior should truly possess?

interesting.

Zhao Yun, who was deep in thought, suddenly stood up and bowed:
"Mr. Lu, I don't want to be a marquis. I came down the mountain because I know that my strength is limited and I am not enough to quell the chaos. So I want to find a wise leader to help him end this chaos."

"I beg you, Mr. Lu, to come out and save the people! I am willing to serve you with all my heart, even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire, or even being torn to pieces!"

Guan Yu stood behind Liu Bei and bowed: "I am willing to serve you as a dog and horse!"

Zhang Fei gritted his teeth, clasped his fists and saluted: "I am also willing to serve you as a dog and horse!"

The "Three Kingdoms" of long-term unity must be divided, and long-term division must be united is not so beautiful, and there is nothing worth praising. Every hero is stepping on countless corpses. Yang Jin finally woke up:
"Mr. Lu, this is not a prosperous age!"

"This is just a chaotic and disastrous time where tens of millions of people died and there is no good outcome. I beg you to come out and unify the country as soon as possible and bring peace and prosperity to the world!"

"Although I am not talented, I am willing to serve you as a dog and horse!"

Yang Jin bowed deeply.

Lu Bu was able to govern a city into a prosperous one. He had the power to overturn the world but he was able to restrain himself and be cautious. He also had such a thorough understanding of the world. It was obvious that he was not an illiterate and reckless man.

On this trip, only a sincere heart can convince Lu Bu to come out and quickly put an end to this damn chaos.

Seeing this scene, Wuyou looked quietly at Lu Bu who was still sitting upright, and she did not say anything to persuade him.

"Save the common people?"

Lu Bu was not very interested in this, his eyes leisurely swept over the heads of the crowd.

An indomitable will was slowly rising, and a golden light flashed in Lu Bu's eyes. He clearly caught the words appearing above everyone's heads.

Above Liu Bei’s head, two words shine brightly—“benevolence” and “ferocity”!
There are also two words shining above Guan Yu’s head - "loyalty" and "righteousness"!
Above Zhang Fei’s head, a word was clearly visible - "fierce"!
Above Zhao Yun’s head, the words “courage” and “victory” complement each other.

And on Yang Jin’s head, there is only one simple word - "Spring"!
Is this... my natal character?

Lu Bu looked at the people who had not stood up for a long time and smiled slightly.

"and then?"

"Uh……"

Yang Jin raised his head and met Lu Bu's eyes.

"Then...Mr. Lu will be the Emperor of Taiping..."

"What I mean is, what should we do after the world is unified?" Lu Bu interrupted.

"No exploitation or oppression, everyone has access to education, everyone has income, everyone has access to medical care, everyone has support in old age, everyone has a place to live, and everyone is free and happy."

Yang Jin's eyes were shining and he was full of confidence. He had many brilliant ideas in his mind to improve people's livelihood. As long as he could unify the world, he would be able to show his talents.

"Although I am not talented, I dare to solemnly promise you that the prosperous era will be a hundred times, or even a thousand times, better than the present."

"Oh? What happens next?" Upon hearing this, Lu Bu curled up his lips into a smile.

"After that..." Yang Jin was extremely excited, but when the words came to his lips he suddenly froze.

"After that, there were three hundred years of complaints and five hundred years of war between the various factions," said Lu Bu.

Yang Jin was silent.

Lu Bu continued:
"Besides, I heard from you that my divine consciousness caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the battle of Hulao Pass. Although this action made me famous, behind those lost lives are countless wives, children and elders who are worried about them. They are living lives."

"I have formed a deep hatred between me and the people of these thirteen states that is difficult to resolve. How can I be the emperor of peace?" When these words came out, everyone was shocked and looked up at Lu Bu, with disappointment in their eyes. Even so, Lu Bu still firmly rejected the proposal to leave the mountain.

But it's the truth.

Lu Bu himself admitted it frankly.

Liu Bei, Yang Jin and others did not defend Lu Bu and remained silent.

If Lu Bu wanted to unify the world and become the emperor of peace, this was a stain that could not be washed away. Was he going to kill all the families behind those hundreds of thousands of soldiers?

"but--"

Lu Bu stared at the disappointed crowd and suddenly changed the subject.

Under the guidance of Mr. Wuyou, he also saw "reincarnation" and asked himself whether he could solve the problem of "reincarnation".

and.

Although this world is a "turbulent time" for all living beings, it is also a "prosperous time" for him, Lu Bu. In this chaotic world, warriors emerged, whose strength far exceeded that of the past, and his "birth character - Wu" was constantly strengthening.

If Lu Bu was wholeheartedly pursuing power, this "golden age" would naturally last as long as possible. The more intense the fighting between the princes, the more frequent the wars, fighting, and clashes of beliefs would become. All of this provided fertile soil for the growth of his power.

According to common sense, Lu Bu should add fuel to the fire, let his "golden age" last for thousands of years, and cultivate more warriors who can break through the "boundary between man and god".

This maximizes the benefits.

but--

When he saw these people awakening their "birth characters" through "establishing words", he couldn't help but feel a strong interest in them.

Because of Lu Bu's thought today, all living beings will not have to face that "terrifying figure" who has dominated the world for eternity and has no desires or selflessness in the future!
Lu Bu smiled and said, "However, I can lend you my power, and then you can use it to end the chaos and unify the world. I want to see where your beliefs can lead you."

"Are you willing to be my disciple?"

Everyone was stunned, and then overjoyed.

They had witnessed the power of a divine thought, which was no different from the presence of Lu Bu in person. In either case, it was equally powerful.

Although Liu Bei had a master, he had not received the true teachings. He looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, then bowed and said, "I am willing to listen to your teachings."

Lu Bu turned his gaze to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun bowed and said bluntly: "I already have a master, and I don't want to join another one."

"it is good."

Lu Bu didn't care and looked at Yang Jin.

"If you don't mind, Jin is willing to be your foster father."

Yang Jin stared at Lu Bu for a moment, then suddenly knelt down and performed a great salute to heaven and earth.

"You want to worship me as your godfather?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Bu was stunned.

This feeling is quite subtle, after all, he has no children yet.

Seeing this, Yang Jin immediately struck while the iron was hot and shouted loudly: "Godfather, please accept my child's greetings!"

Although Lu Bu looked quite young, he was now in his thirties, while he himself was only a sixteen-year-old boy, so it was not wrong for him to call him "adoptive father".

This thigh must be held tightly and not lost.

"never mind."

Lu Bu didn't care about Yang Jin's address. He stretched out his hand and a ray of divine consciousness fell on Yang Jin, "Remember, don't use my power to do whatever you want. Go ahead."

If Liu Bei and others were the same as him, it would be better for him to take action himself and act recklessly.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei bowed and saluted with a respectful attitude.

"Godfather, the King of Heaven and the Tiger of Earth!!"

Yang Jin walked to the gate of the courtyard, still unwilling to give up, and suddenly turned back and shouted.

"Get lost." Lu Bu said expressionlessly.

Yang Jin had no choice but to leave with full disappointment.

……

【Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Yang Jin were unable to persuade Lu Bu to come out of seclusion.】

[Due to the internal strife among the princes of the thirteen states, Liu Bei and his men easily gained control of three states in just ten months.]

[Although Yang Jin did not have amazing talent, he had a unique vision and was able to identify and employ people. He recruited talents from all over the world and all of them came under Liu Bei's command.]

[Another lord, Cao Cao, was unstoppable and took over the world. He recruited soldiers from all over the country, strengthened his power, and unified the five states.]

【At this point, Dong, Cao, and Liu were the three major powers in the world. 】

[In the third year, military strategist Zhuge Liang raised an army of 300,000 and marched north to unify the world.]
