After giving it some thought, Beichen realized why the name "Bairen" seemed so familiar.
Back in the modern world, he had heard stories claiming that the future Jade Emperor was an immortal cultivator named Zhang Bainian.

At the thought, Beichen's mind drifted for a moment. He could only marvel at how long the years stretched on, with endless time still to come!
With Empress Nuwa's care and guidance, the Human Race was doing well. They fought only with demons, beasts, the
