He has been reincarnated through countless worlds, adorned with billions of mythological terms!

At the same time, Yun Yi began to turn his attention to the macro level of this world.

He pieced together the overall picture of the Blue Star from publicly available online information.

The planet is about the same size as the real world, and its technology is roughly equivalent to that of the 21st century—slightly more advanced, but without any qualitative leap.

There is cooperation, competition, war, and peace among countries.

Everything seems normal.

That's perfectly normal.

Yun Yi became increasingly convinced of one thing: there must be something wrong with this world.

A plane defined by the amusement park as a "small world" could not possibly be so ordinary.

Moreover, there's that reminder from the park: "Don't be fooled by appearances."

What is the surface phenomenon?

This is the perfectly normal modern world.

What lies hidden beneath that appearance?

Yun Yi didn't know, but it was definitely not simple.

On his fifth birthday, Yunyi had the rare opportunity to see his whole family gathered together.

Yun Jingran canceled an important business meeting and flew back from out of town specifically for this purpose.

Shen Ruoqing also took two days off from the film crew and arrived home a day early to personally arrange the birthday banquet.

Yun Jin and Yun Yao had prepared gifts well in advance—Yun Jin gave a deluxe edition of "100,000 Whys" and Yun Yao gave a drawing she made herself, on which she wrote "Happy Birthday to my little brother" in crooked handwriting.

Yunyi put the painting away, a slight smile playing on his lips.

In any case, his family in this life has been very good to him.

Halfway through the banquet, Shen Ruoqing suddenly leaned close and whispered in his ear:

"Xiao Yi, Mom wants to discuss something with you."

Yun Yi raised his head.

Shen Ruoqing wore a light blue dress, her long hair draped over her shoulders, and her features were so exquisite they looked like they had been painted.

She is thirty-five years old this year, but looks no more than twenty-five or twenty-six; she is extremely well-maintained.

"What is it?"

Shen Ruoqing hesitated for a moment, seemingly considering her words.

"Do you know what your mother does for a living?"

"actor."

"Yes, an actress." Shen Ruoqing nodded. "My mother recently took on a role in a big-budget production with a very famous director."

She paused, carefully observing Yun Yi's expression.

Yun Yi remained calm, waiting for her to continue.

"There's a character in this play... who's very special."

"He is a mythical figure named Xisheng Yuantong."

Shen Ruoqing took out her phone, found a character concept art, and handed it to Yun Yi.

In the picture, a boy of about six years old stands barefoot in the morning light.

Her platinum blonde short hair was fluffy and soft, shimmering softly in the sunlight.

A pair of clear, gilded amber eyes, with slightly upturned corners, their gaze clean and innocent, yet deep within them lies a divine composure beyond their years.

She wore a simple, moon-white short robe with gold trim, the hem embroidered with patterns of newly sprouting buds, and was surrounded by a very faint, warm golden morning light.

The artist's brushstrokes are extremely delicate, depicting the character as both innocent and sacred, possessing both childlike naiveté and divine majesty.

"This character is called Xi Sheng Yuan Tong, a legendary deity who governs the morning light, life, purification, and the protection of children."

Shen Ruoqing said, "In mythology, he always appears as a child of about six years old, but he has existed for longer than any other god."

"This role is very difficult to play."

Shen Ruoqing continued, "You need to look innocent and naive, but your eyes should have a kind of divinity that transcends your age."

"The director searched for two years and auditioned thousands of children, but none of them were suitable."

Looking at the concept drawing, Yun Yi vaguely guessed what it meant.

"so?"

Shen Ruoqing bit her lip, seemingly trying to make her tone sound less like she was begging someone:

"So... the director contacted me."

"He wants me to act?"

"He wants you to act," Shen Ruoqing corrected. "He's seen your photos and heard about your situation from me."

"He felt... your temperament was a perfect match for this role."

Yun Yi fell silent.

Shen Ruoqing quickly added, "If you don't want to, that's fine. Mom won't force you."

"I just felt this role was really suitable for you, and the production team was excellent; after filming—"

"I didn't say I was unwilling."

Shen Ruoqing was stunned: "You...you're willing?"

As Yun Yi looked at the concept drawing, a thought flashed through his mind.

He turned to look at Shen Ruoqing, and with his five-year-old, innocent face, he revealed a smile that could be described as that of a "little genius."

"Mom, I have a condition."

"you say."

"I'm fine with acting, but you can't tell anyone my real age."

Shen Ruoqing blinked: "What do you mean?"

"I'll just tell everyone I'm six years old," Yunyi said. "Anyway, I'm tall enough, and I don't look five."

Shen Ruoqing hesitated for a moment, finding the condition somewhat strange, but it wasn't a big deal:

"Okay, we'll do it your way."

And so, Yun Yi accepted the role of Xi Sheng Yuan Tong.

The myths and legends of this world are completely different from those of his original world, and the character Xi Sheng Yuan Tong is quite popular here.

The filming period lasted eight months.

Yun Yi followed Shen Ruoqing into the film crew and began his acting career.

The director, surnamed Chen, is in his fifties and is known in the industry for his "strictness" and "perfectionism".

On the first day of filming, he specifically called Yun Yi over, squatted down, looked him straight in the eye, and said earnestly:

"Child, I'm telling you the truth."

"This role is very difficult to play; I've been looking for an actor for two years without success."

"Your mother told me you're very smart, but I don't care how high your IQ is, I only care if you can act well."

Yun Yi looked at him and said calmly, "Director Chen, I can give it a try."

Director Chen was slightly taken aback.

It wasn't because of what Yun Yi said, but rather the way he said it—he was so composed.

Unlike the unnaturalness of a child trying to appear mature, it exudes a confidence and composure that comes from the core.

"Then give it a try."

Director Chen stood up, pointed to the center of the set, and said, "Take a few steps, just walk according to your understanding of this character."

Yunyi took off his shoes and stepped barefoot onto the antique-style tiled floor of the film set.

He closed his eyes, and the image of Xi Sheng Yuan Tong from the concept art appeared in his mind—short platinum blonde hair, gilded pupils, a moon-white divine robe, and the soft morning light.

Then, he started walking.

My steps were light, as if I were walking on clouds.

With a slight forward lean and a center of gravity slightly higher than average, he gives off a "light and airy" feeling, as if he might float away at any moment.

But his gaze was deep—when those eyes looked ahead, there was both the pure curiosity of a child and the compassion and detachment of a god, as if he were looking at the world, or as if he had passed through the world and seen a more distant place.

The film set fell silent.

Director Chen stood there, his expression changing from "scrutiny" to "shock".

Shen Ruoqing stood behind the monitor and covered her mouth.

The production crew, lighting crew, and camera crew—everyone was watching the barefoot child walking on the set.

That wasn't acting.

That was the arrival.

Yun Yi walked about twenty steps, then stopped, turned around, and looked at Director Chen.

Director Chen remained silent for a full five seconds.

Then, he slapped his thigh so hard that the whole set could hear it:

"That's him! That's him!!! It's him!!!"

The eight months of filming were the busiest period of Yunyi's life.

He filmed during the day and continued his scientific research at night.

Director Chen praised his performance highly, telling everyone he met, "This kid is a born actor."

Yun Yi thought to himself: A born actor?

No, I just know a little more than others.

Moreover, perhaps due to the influence of the term, he always seemed to have an effortless talent when impersonating others.

In the final month of filming, Yunyi completed a groundbreaking research project.
