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.

In the year 1572 AD, there were still 72 years to go before the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the loss of its lands.

At this time:

Wokou pirates ravaged the southeast,

The Tartars threatened the northwestern borders,

Local warlords grew stronger through annexation,

The military and administration were exhausted,

And the common people suffered.

The Longqing Emperor had just passed away.

It was at this moment that Shi Yue transmigrated into the body of Zhu Yijun, the future Wanli Emperor, who would later become infamous for not attending court for thirty years.

The good news:

Zhu Yijun had not yet ascended the throne — he hadn’t had a chance to ruin state affairs.

The bad news:

Zhu Yijun had not yet ascended the throne — and the power struggle was already underway:

Feng Bao, head of the Directorate of Ceremonial, sought to be the spokesperson of imperial power.

Grand Secretary Gao Gong wanted to sideline the emperor and strengthen the Cabinet.

Vice Secretary Zhang Juzheng was determined to implement his new policies and take control of governance.

His only supposed ally, his own birth mother Lady Li, constantly punished him with kneeling and forced him to write self-reproach edicts.

A crumbling empire loomed ahead, and the heart of power was a battlefield of intersecting ambitions and blades.

With the fate of the nation at stake and the makings of a wise emperor, what path will he choose?

A supernatural resurrection story from the 1990s, where you'll find a Call of Duty superhero-esque protagonist battling otherworldly monsters:

strolling through Silent Hill with Nikki.

A student armed with the Azure Files robs a gangster bank.

Recruiting soldiers from around the world to form an army without borders. Journey

into a dungeon world with the help of the Silver Key-wielding Witch of Salem.

Defeat BOW in Mogadishu with the Ironback Carrier and Teammate Nemesis from Resident Evil.

Courageously charge towards the shadowy evil god ahead with warship-transforming shipgirls.

Lead the Ace Combat team in a violent assault on the air defense network of a North American power.

Utilize androids to maintain FAF Fialli Base and the massive submarine carrier Alicorn...

[Pretending to be gentle and weak, yet actually scheming and calculating, a cold and gloomy woman, a flower of the mountain, but actually honest and pure-hearted, a love-minded woman] Shi Cunjin is a renowned novelist.

The night he finished negotiating a major project, he suddenly opened his eyes and was reborn as a useless male insect.

Shi Cunjin:?

The original novel had a terrible ending, a happy ending.

He had to correct the plot before the transmigration system would let him go, but unfortunately, the system was so weak it went dormant, and Shi Cunjin nearly died the night he transmigrated.

A low-spec game with a devastating start, so death... well, it's nothing!

I just finished negotiating that major project!

Instead of saving the plot, he should think about saving himself first!

After fusing his memories, Shi Cunjin discovered the Zerg world was culturally barren.

He simply returned to his old ways and livestreamed his writing on the Star Network overnight, his name starting with a timeless shock factor: [My roommate always dresses so warmly.

One day, I came home early and was surprised to find he had a hooked tail?

] A passing female insect: Wait?

A passing female insect: What?

Countless Zergs were stunned to click into this livestream... and no one left until the show ended.

The night the new account launched, it instantly topped the charts!

Shi Cunjin exploded in popularity, a pure love war god sweeping the rough Zerg worldview!

More and more female Zergs swarmed the livestream, mocking and scorning him, saying it was impossible for a male Zerg to do such a thing!

— and then generously rewarding him.

Following "Roommate," the streamer released a series of pure love melodramas like "Colleague" and "Doctor," captivating this group of single widowed women!

A frenzy of adoration ensued!

Everyone wanted to know who the streamer was!

But no Zerg could find him.

Until one day, the usually punctual streamer issued a suspension notice: "Caught in the Wasp War, Star Network Instability, Suspended Updates." The millions of female Zergs who had been watching the livestream responded: "???!" The leaders of both sides, who had been secretly following the updates, responded: "...Ceasefire! Urgent ceasefire! Get the teacher out first!" The civil war can be lost, but the single female Zerg's dream faith cannot die!

— Long before the notice was issued, Shi Cunjin was out of danger.

Who could have guessed that the savage, arrogant bottom, whose author's pen couldn't contain, secretly loved melodramatic stories and had quietly become his top pick, willing to rush straight into a war zone to save his partner in an online romance?

Now, the cool guy's face was bloodied, his eyes gloomy, his expression terrifying.

But the hands holding the male insect were shaking, their movements awkward, tight, and constricting.

Shi Cunjin struggled uncomfortably.

Anouschka immediately knelt on one knee and carefully took his hand, her words trembling a little incoherently, "…No, don't be afraid. I'm sorry, I'm wearing a shock collar." Shi Cunjin couldn't help but touch his golden hair.

—Main attacker Shi Cunjin x Anouschka, feigning gentleness but a true scheming heart x the stinky-faced arrogant guy, a truly innocent fool.

Let's talk about that innocent Marshal, Mr.

Shi, who was manipulated by the Godfather of Entertainment!

Your Marshal is out there lashing out at his haters again!

Both of them had their own starting points in the early stages, with a plot and a relationship.

A pair of pure characters, transmigrating into a book, livestreaming their writing style, raising cubs, and a touch of Dihua.

The Zerg setting in this article is based on the documentary "Animal World"—pre-collected next door.

[Unconventional Courtship Rules] A normal top and a crazy, wall-breaking chase.

A brave but crazy bottom.

Top and bottom personality guide: Seemingly a smiling fox, they're tough on the outside but soft on the inside.

A three-minute passion.

The top is sinister and fickle, neurotic, and hates all species equally, including themselves.

The bottom is a blind believer in saints.

Boo!

Transmigrating, I, Lin Feng, have become Fusu, the eldest son of Qin Shi Huang. From the outset, I'm banished to Shangjun, with a death warrant imminent. Surrounded by nothing but 300,000 disloyal Qin soldiers, I have nothing! [Ding! The Myriad Worlds Military Summoning System has been successfully bound!] Instantly, five thousand fully armed and absolutely loyal "Fire Seed" special forces parachuted in. They are instructors, engineers, and even the disseminators of ideological integrity!

Who says Confucian scholars are powerless? I, Fusu, wield a Type 95 rifle in my left hand and a Katyusha rocket launcher in my right. Under night vision goggles, any assassin is a sitting duck! Meng Tian was astonished. This wasn't just some gimmick, it was a divine technique! Starting with training a modern special forces unit, I transformed the 3,000 Qin troops into a torrent of steel. The Xiongnu cavalry were annihilated by the rockets, and the remnants of the six kingdoms trembled and wailed under the tank tracks!

I will use modern technology to crush this decadent old world: blast furnaces for steel, concrete for roads, airplanes, tanks, aircraft carriers, and even star-struck warships! Zhao Gao and Hu Hai? Mere clowns! Xiang Yu and Zhang Liang? Personal force is a joke before my iron torrent! My goal is to lead Chinese civilization from Earth to the stars, and to tear the heads off those so-called "celestial beings" and kick them around like a ball! This world will ultimately be a world of civilization. Who dares to disobey?

Diary: In the first year, I awakened amidst the apocalypse of humanity.

A group of humanoids, believing me to be the last glory, were willing to join my ranks.

Diary: In the second year, my humanoids and I successfully began exploring the interstellar sea.

Is the neighboring sector the Koprulu sector?...a bug, a race resembling humans, and a high-tech alien with pigtails?

Do you guys play StarCraft?

Diary: In the third year, for unknown reasons, a newly discovered civilization in the neighboring galaxy condemned me and declared me their sworn enemy.

Diary: In the tenth year, my relationship with the neighboring galaxy suddenly improved.

We're now discussing how to pay the "hire fee" for the fleet I'm helping to "patrol" their capital star.

Diary: In the nth year, my research team informed me that a fox cry, "Galaxy Rise, Human King," has been heard from the surrounding galaxies.

Two hundred years ago, on the Battlefield of the Blue River, the last remaining army of the Empire of Light collapsed in the midst of demonic outcries. As the last Field Marshal and Emperor fell, the chaotic world of the Western River no longer had a common ruler. Factions were formed and endless conflicts ensued, military might became the only currency of survival, and the dream to reunite the lands became the sole goal of many rulers in the generations that came after.

In the south-eastern part of the land, a powerful faction with over two hundred years of history – House ZiChuan – fought off the Demons to the east, defended against the House Liu Feng to the west, and contained the House Lin to the south. In order to accomplish their great ambitions and extend the bloodline of their family, countless heroes of ZiChuan gave their lives in order to make this magnificent hymn come to life. This is a story about this legendary family and a hundred years of their blood and tears.

Humanity, a tiny race born in the solar system. Carrying the seeds of hatred, Fang Yuan descended upon the Wandering Earth. Using this as a hub, he connected countless civilizations and protected Earth's civilization. Since then, led by Holy Terra, humanity has journeyed across the myriad realms, conquering the heavens. When the banners of the Star Legions soared across the universe. When power armor crushed the skulls of omnics. When the Iron Titans awed countless alien races. Dignity lies only on the edge of a chainsaw, truth within the range of a blaster. ............
