In 1408, the Timurid Khanate had fallen from its heyday, the Ottoman Empire was on the brink, the Byzantines had remained resilient for a century, and the Mamluks were trembling with fear as they recovered their lost territory. Peace seemed to have returned to the world, temporarily. However, this world was somewhat different from what Li Rufeng remembered—generals with horns, emirs with tails, sages with clairvoyance, and slaves who rotted but remained immortal... Having traveled to the Timurid Khanate, Li Rufeng was grateful for a cheat code for Mount & Blade II, allowing him to steadily advance as a shaman in a small steppe tribe, awaiting the right opportunity to "mount and blade" across this vast Central Asian landscape. [Note: The following appears to be unrelated and likely a separate topic.] Dear readers, I offer you a sincere chapter. Starting a new book is undoubtedly the happiest time, because it's time to dig new holes. This project is a foray into a new genre. My first book was a book-starved adventure, a mishmash of The Witcher set in the Warhammer 40k universe. The second, influenced by Cyberpunk 2077 and The Boys, aims to be a Punisher-esque story. If you're interested, check out the author's other works, "The Witcher of Games" and "I Give the World Destruction and Rebirth," on QD. This third book, "On a Young Dream," is inspired by a fictional scenario about the Roman Golden Horde posted on Bilibili. The early scenes will be set in the chaotic Timurid Empire following the death of Tamerlane the Great. Writing this story has been a self-learning exercise. Through this alternate history, I've been actively exploring the historical transformations of the Arabian Peninsula, Transoxiana, and even Central Asia from 1410 to 1500, filling in gaps in my knowledge. As for the introduction of the Faith of the Four Winds, it's purely a matter of personal interest. Some Warhammer experts have suggested that the Four Winds' name suggests a Warhammer origin, likely referring to a 40k short story describing the sudden rise of Chaos faith in a savage world. After all, introducing a completely new faith into a land already riven by religious conflict couldn't be worse, could it? Moreover, this faith carries with it truly transcendent power. How would those zealots who fought for Constantinople for centuries react? Creating a captivating, or at least intriguing, world through my keyboard is a deeply rewarding experience, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. P.S.: Finally, due to my own limitations and lack of accurate documentation, if anyone finds any historical errors in this article, please point them out and I'll promptly correct them. P.S.: The historical Turkification of the Timurid Khanate was very thorough, so the tribes I described earlier that still believed in the primitive belief of Eternal Sky probably don't exist. However, for the convenience of the subsequent plot development, I will assume that the Islamization of the Chagatai Khanate was not that serious, and that a large number of Mongol people in the Eastern Chagatai Khanate still retained respect for this primitive belief. P.S.: New books are not easy to write. If you are interested, please cast your valuable votes and feel free to leave a comment in the comment section.

A member of the Han imperial family, a descendant of Emperor Jing of Han, a street tyrant in Zhuoxian, a direct disciple of the renowned Confucian scholar Lu Zhi, a romantic poet of the Eastern Han Dynasty, directly responsible for the high demand for paper in Luoyang, a master debater of the Old Text School of Confucianism, a leader of the younger generation of the Old Text School of Confucianism, the founding ancestor of the Liu family of Zhuoxian County, Zhuojun, the seventh-generation lineage of the Zuo Zhuan, and the number one hater of the New Text School of Confucianism...

Um……

All right.

My name is Liu Bei, courtesy name Xuande. This is my story, not that of that imperial uncle.

In this world of hundreds of nations, when it comes to land warfare, the Ning Kingdom is virtually invincible. With fierce tiger-like troops and vast military arsenals, they sweep across the lands like a storm. Wherever the land extends, the Ning Army plants its battle flag.

Yet, beyond the seas—where their tigers and wolves cannot reach—there are always those who refuse to yield.

Thus came the youth, blade at his waist and halberd in hand, crossing the sea on a single reed.

Shen Leng: "If one day I am suddenly required to dedicate the rest of my life for the sake of my nation, I am willing."

Transmigrated into a world, along with a group of time travelers and chosen ones...

Nine hundred years into the forty-first millennium of humanity, a crisis brewed that would shape the fate of the entire galaxy. Beyond the farthest point ever reached by the Sun Lord's expedition, within a halo of stars that the expeditionary force had never set foot on, lay a human civilization distinct from the Empire. They considered themselves descendants of the Golden Men and dubbed themselves the Human Federation. Qiao Wen, fortunately, found himself within the Human Federation. As the sole person handling external affairs for this civilization, he discovered that he could rely not only on ancient human technology but also on his own innate magical powers.

Frigates, battleships.

Titan Spear. The Stars Roar.

Genetic ascension, psychic ascension, mechanical ascension.

[Brother steals brother's wife + deliberate teasing]

(Black Cut Black Villain ✖️Ascetic and Cold-Hearted Master)

In her previous life, Pei Jingxu was a widow for three years because of her husband Rong Xuanzhou who died in battle, but she waited for him to return to the capital with his comrade-in-arms widow Bai Shutong and their two children.

Rong's parents remained silent and only advised her to be virtuous and generous.

The widow was extremely beautiful and soon after she came to the capital, she became the envy of the powerful people in the capital. Even Rong Xuanzhou was attracted to her and treated her with tenderness and care.

In the end, Pei Jingxu was used as a token of loyalty by Bai Shutong's pursuer and drowned in the lotus pond.

On the verge of death, he realized that he was actually living in a popular storybook and was a stumbling block on the road to becoming the most favored heroine in the capital.

After living a new life, Pei Jingxu, a vicious female supporting role, realized that she had to find a backer for herself before the heroine returned to Beijing.

Therefore, Pei Jingxu's mind turned to the unparalleled and elegant eldest son of the Rong family, Rong Jianxue, the current young master.

That night, Pei Jingxu's eyes were bloodshot, her thin clothes were penetrating her bones, and she was crying like a pear blossom in the rain. She knocked on his door and said, "Brother, Erlang is not here. Ah Xu is really scared..."

Rong Jianxue's eyes were cold and the Buddhist beads in her sleeves tightened.

--

After Rong Xuanzhou returned to Beijing, he found that his wife, who had shared his hardships with him, no longer stayed with him, but instead frequently visited his brother's house.

Knowing his brother's strictness, Rong Xuanzhou said to her coldly, "If you give in, I'll let you go."

Behind the screen, Rong Jianxue grabbed half of her arm.

The man's eyes were dark, and he answered for her in a hoarse voice: "She deserves to be punished."

--

Later Pei Jingxu ran away.

Outside the city, private soldiers lined up, and the man approached step by step, with a monstrous delusion in his eyes: "A Xu is right, it's time for us to have a child."

Back row reminder: The male lead and the male supporting role are not brothers~

When An Yi found that the Gundam he was driving in his dream appeared outside the house and a huge meteorite fell from the sky,

he realized that things seemed to have gotten out of hand

. In short, this is a story that has caused many disasters in Tokyo, Japan.

The author is handsome, but the introduction is rubbish.
