Divine Skills are no match for Heavenly Number...

Perhaps I should first focus on how to refuse Gua Tianshi's political enticement, but as he seemed to genuinely utter those six words, I found myself inexplicably recalling the dubious historical account told by the elders of Ancient Moon Village.

A century ago, there was an Immortal who possessed Divine Skills powerful enough to change heaven and earth.

And yet, faced with a world plunged into war and misery, for some unknown reason, he was unable to intervene, only able to silently witness the occurrence of countless tragedies.

Eventually, disillusioned, he chose to retreat to the mountains and forests, living in seclusion with refugees avoiding the war.
