Both start in hell: but their talents are multiplied a hundredfold.

In August of the first year of the Zhongping era, the wind outside Guangzong City carried a strange smell of rotten meat mixed with mugwort.

Shen Jue, who looked very old, knelt in the earthen-yellow tent.

He had half a tattered burlap sack under his knees, but even so, the hard soil on the ground still made his bones ache.

But Shen Jue had long since grown accustomed to the pain.

In the center of the tent, Zhang Jiao, the Heavenly General and Great Teacher, lay quietly on his couch.

Zhang Jiao died of illness, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which had started the uprising, was also about to be wiped out.

The roars of the Han army outside the city made Shen Jue momentarily stunned.

Shen Jue, a personal guard under Zhang Jiao, recalled his long and tedious life.

Shen Jue transmigrated, but she wasn't born into a wealthy family with the protagonist's halo. Instead, she carried the memories of her previous life in modern society and was reborn into the home of an extremely poor tenant farmer in Julu County, Jizhou.

Shen Jue, who had broken free from the mystery of her birth, wanted to make a living and turn her life around with modern knowledge. However, because she casually uttered the shocking statement "everyone is equal" during a year of famine, her ignorant father regarded her as a possessed demon and almost drowned her in the stinking ditch at the entrance of the village.

Shen Jue, who had miraculously survived, had no time to rejoice before he witnessed officials leading troops to seize grain. For a few bushels of moldy rice, they broke his father's legs right in front of him.

Subsequently, the local tyrants massacred the village. Shen Jue watched helplessly as his mother and sister were raped and killed by the marauding soldiers, while he himself was sold as a "two-legged sheep" to the fleeing soldiers on the march.

In the camp of defeated soldiers, Shen Jue experienced the daily life of a chaotic world. He carried goods like livestock, had no extra food, drank muddy water, and was subjected to harsh treatment and abuse by the defeated soldiers if he was not careful.

Having finally escaped, Shen Jue encountered a once-in-a-century locust plague and epidemic, becoming a refugee. He struggled for a long time among piles of dead bodies lying on the roadside, but still managed to escape alive.

Shen Jue's modern ideals were crushed by the cold ancient society, leaving only the most primal desire for survival.

On the verge of death and suffering from hunger and exhaustion, Shen Jue encountered a follower of the Taiping Dao, who saved him with a bowl of talismanic water mixed with coarse rice bran and incense ash.

The water in that bowl tasted sweeter than any iced tea he had ever drunk in modern times.

The followers of the Way of Peace told Shen Jue, "When the Yellow Heaven is established, all will be well in the world," and that as long as he followed the Great Teacher of Virtue, he could get rid of the corrupt government and the rampant powerful clans.

Clutching the half-moldy cake handed to him by the Taiping Dao believer, Shen Jue finally understood: in the cannibalistic world of ancient feudal dynasties, he, a modern-day overprotected giant baby, could not easily survive.

He could only survive by following Huang Tian.

Shen Jue could not change the course of history in the slightest. He joined the Yellow Turban Army and, with his ruthless spirit that had crawled out of piles of corpses, became a soldier.

Only the knife and gun in his hand could give Shen Jue the right to survive in this chaotic world.

He fought in battles, gained recognition and promotion, met Zhang Jiao, and Zhang Jiao died of illness.

Even with knowledge and precognitive abilities ahead of their time, Shen Jue was still unable to change the course of history.

Reality is not a thrilling novel about conquering the world, but a cold reality of death and darkness, hunger and bloodshed.

The weathered and aged Shen Jue knelt on the bed where Zhang Jiao died of illness and fell asleep in a daze.

Then, Shen Jue from the Three Kingdoms period arrived in the white space.

Many Shen Jue fans shared their memories of Shen Jue from the Three Kingdoms period.

The Shen Jue from the Three Kingdoms period looked extremely old, quite different from the many Shen Jues within the white space.

Shen Jue and the others fell silent for a moment, feeling somewhat uneasy.

The experiences of Shen Jue from the Three Kingdoms period truly marked the beginning of a hellish journey.

Despite his aged appearance, Shen Jue from the Three Kingdoms period was actually only 30 years old.

However, Shen Jue from the Three Kingdoms period looked almost exactly like a man in his sixties or seventies.

The extremely tragic life experiences of his childhood caused Shen Jue of the Three Kingdoms period to age very quickly.

"The cheat has arrived." Shen Jue of the Three Kingdoms said with a hint of joy on his aged face.

"I am Shen Jue, and I invite the great Han and the noble families to die for us."

"It's so bitter," JOJO Shen Jue sighed.

"Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, was still too urbanized."

"Zhang Jiao was the founder of the Zhengyi School and the Taiping Dao. He was a great Taoist sage who preached for many years and had followers from high-ranking officials and nobles to ordinary people."

"A person whom even the emperor had to treat with respect."

"Yet he was willing to betray his own class, and after witnessing the bankruptcy and exile of peasants and the rampant spread of disease, he resolved to save the people through religion."

"Such a person has already died of illness."

"What a pity."

"In this timeline, the Yellow Turban Rebellion will also be suppressed."

"The purity of the Yellow Turban Rebellion was also compromised, with many bandits and powerful figures burning, killing, and looting in the name of the Yellow Turbans."

"In my opinion, once you go back, those aristocratic families and feudal officials will be the ones who truly enjoy the good life."

Shen Jue of the Three Kingdoms had a smile on his face, but it was filled with bitterness.

"It really is a realistic depiction of ancient feudal society?" Death God Shen Jue exclaimed. "Isn't it just that chaotic Three Kingdoms era with its hack-and-slash gameplay?"

"I wish you were in Dynasty Warriors."

"Before I transmigrated, I had a special collection of female warriors from Dynasty Warriors in my bookmarks."

"Hehe, Lü Lingqi and all that, she's really good."

"Feudal society is no good. If you ask me, you should just accept the Yellow Turbans completely, declare yourself the Yellow Heaven Descendant, and use the real Superman Iron Fist to beat up the inhuman feudal society of ancient times," JOJO Shen Jue suggested.

"Let's be even more straightforward and just establish the Yellow Heaven Cult, using your talent, amplified by 1300 times, to crush the entire world."

"Unifying the Holy Ancient Terra, Cosplaying Warhammer 40K: Emperor in an Ancient World Without Magic."

"In a sense, Huangtian and Huangpizi are similar in nature."

"I will consider it," Shen Jue of the Three Kingdoms nodded, though he had no intention of talking to the other Shen Jue.

All he wants now is to return to the Three Kingdoms era as soon as possible and complete the mission that the Great Teacher of Wisdom has not yet finished.

"It's time to let the long-tested feudalists and slavery advocates experience the superhuman fist of modern society," JOJO Shen Jue said again, patting Sangokushi Shen Jue on the shoulder.

"So, it seems that not only will Shen Jue from Water Margin appear, but also Shen Jue from Dream of the Red Chamber and Journey to the West?"

"Let's have another Shen Jue from The Legend of the White Snake," said Death God Shen Jue. "Becoming a Grass Python hero wouldn't be bad either."

"I will definitely have the White Snake and Xiaoqing assist me, Shen Jue, in my cultivation!"

The Shen Jue fans once again ignored Death God Shen Jue's statement and continued to discuss the situation of the ancient Three Kingdoms world without magic.

Death God Shen Jue was not annoyed. Instead, he meaningfully recalled the beautiful figures of Miss Hunter and Lord Observer in his memories of Killing Spire.

After all the Shen Jue members dispersed, the Grim Reaper Shen Jue returned to the Grim Reaper world.

Inside the barracks of the 10th Division of the Seireitei, the Shinigami Shen Jue, unusually, did not go out to the brothels to listen to music, but instead sat up from the tatami and called out.

"Xiao Ai, my classmate."
