"Hello, actor 9527, welcome back to the Role-Playing Space!"

Name: None (customizable), Gender: Male, Age: 2700 years old, Place of Birth: None (customizable), Status: A lowly soldier standing guard in front of the Hall of Divine Soaring!
"Countdown to start of story scene..."
Seeing the name of this plot scene, Ling Yi was a little confused.
For a moment, Ling Yi didn't react. There's a movie? I think so. Yang Zai seems to be in it too. The rating seems to be... cough cough!
Ling Yi Ling Yi forgot the detailed plot, but he remembered that there was Heavenly Court, gods, and the main villain was played by Yang Zai as the Thor. The Protagonist seemed to be Ma Le.
It's an old movie from a long time ago, so it didn't leave a particularly deep impression on Ling Yi.
None of that matters. The important thing is that it contains Heavenly Court and immortals.
I don't know the level of power of the gods inside, or whether I can handle them.
"It seems like it's been a long time since I've jumped cesium!"
Ling Yi opened his cheat system interface.

Deadpool 'Immortal Body greatly intrigued Ling Yi.
Sha Qianmo is also a very outstanding character, but it's really impossible to judge his strength.
Perfected Ziyin, this should be the Final Master of the Protagonist in Gujian Qitan, as for his strength...
It's neither quite an immortal nor a god, and while it's undeniably powerful—capable of Tilling with a mere thought—it can also be easily killed by a single sword. How can that be explained?
You can't exactly set up a ring here and have these three guys fight it out.
Ling Yi hesitated for a long time, but finally chose Deadpool. Putting everything else aside, the ability of Immortal Body was just too tempting.
The scene changed, and Ling Yi, regaining his senses, found himself directly at the entrance of the Hall of Divine Soaring.
Upon seeing the breathtaking scene before him, Ling Yi's first reaction wasn't about causing trouble, but rather...
"Damn it, I've got my eye on this Heavenly Court. I'm moving it all out. I'm telling you, Pangu couldn't stop me."
One word... utterly shocking.
Amidst the swirling clouds and mist, pavilions and towers appear and disappear, while a Bai Yuntian rolls and rises from low to high, with Floating Mountain green islands and waterfalls cascading down in the sky.
The ground beneath my feet was like white jade, warm and clear, with bursts of colorful light flowing through it.
The Hall of Divine Soaring is primarily made of gold, but it is neither gold nor stone. On the pillars, nine Golden Dragon, though carved, seem to come alive, constantly moving within them.
Ling Yi's eyes gleamed, his greed undisguised. Move it away, it must be moved away, everything must be moved away, not a single clod of earth can be left.
Just then, a figure fell from the sky.
This man was dressed in a golden dragon robe, with long, flowing hair. He was over two meters tall, extremely imposing, and exuded an aura of authority. He had thick eyebrows, long hair, and was never smiling.
Is this the Jade Emperor? He certainly looks extraordinary, but he didn't give Ling Yi much of a sense of threat or pressure.
Ling Yi didn't make any move because he didn't know what action was appropriate for him. Fortunately, the other Heavenly Soldier next to him also didn't make any move.
The Jade Emperor took a step towards the main hall, but after taking only one step, he turned back and looked at Ling Yi.
"How long have you been in Heavenly Court?" the Jade Emperor asked.
Ling Yi was somewhat confused, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "I forgot!"
Upon hearing Ling Yi's answer, the Jade Emperor's face showed a helpless expression, which puzzled Ling Yi. What did that mean?
After a moment, he asked again, "What's your name?"
Ling Yi shook his head again. "I forgot too!"
"Yes, it has been so long, so long that I have forgotten how much time has passed. Just now I sensed that your thoughts seemed to be stirred; I wonder what it was about?"
Ling Yi was somewhat bewildered. What was going on with the Jade Emperor? Why was he expressing such sentiments to him? Didn't a Heavenly Soldier guard have any opinions of his own?
Judging from the attitude, it doesn't seem like a punishment; it's probably just curiosity?
But what's so curious about that?
Furthermore, how should I respond? Should I tell the Jade Emperor, "I've just taken a liking to your Heavenly Court, and I'm going to pack it up and take it with me"?
I don't know how to say it!
"Come, sit down and talk!" the Jade Emperor said, sitting directly on the steps.
So casual? He seems rather approachable. This Taiyi from the Jade Emperor he had imagined. Ling Yi was even more confused.
Moreover, Ling Yi sensed a strange loneliness from the Jade Emperor. Is being invincible so lonely?
Ling Yi didn't stand on ceremony and sat down next to him.
"Look at this Heavenly Court, isn't it magnificent?" the Jade Emperor asked, pointing to the distant, ethereal Immortal Realm.
"Even the most beautiful scenery can become tiresome after a while," Ling Yi said casually.
"Yes, I have witnessed several Great Yuanhui (a system of imperial cycles), each lasting 129,600 years, and each Great Yuanhui consists of 129,600 Yuanhui. Do you know how long that is?"
Ling Yi's lips twitched. Damn, has this Jade Emperor lived that long? According to this guy, the Heavenly Court was born 15 billion years ago?
The Earth didn't even exist back then, okay?
Wow, that one sentence reveals quite a lot.
Undeterred, Ling Yi asked, "Your Majesty, could you perhaps inquire about matters from ancient times?"
"If I told you that if you knew these things, you would die, without even a chance of Reincarnation, would you still want to listen?"
"Listen!" Ling Yi now has many trump cards up his sleeve and is fearless!
"Very well, it's been a long time since I've had a chat with anyone."
" The Primordial World has vanished, the four continents are gone, and after the collapse of Spirit Mountain, only the Heavenly Court remains. The mortal realm has risen and fallen, collapsing and being destroyed three times, undergoing three Reincarnation of reincarnation. Now, only this final great calamity of Reincarnation remains."
"Before the Four Continents, there was no such thing as the mortal realm. At that time, the Primordial World land was teeming with myriad races, constantly waging war against each other. After the Investiture of the God Investiture, heaven and earth shattered, and the Primordial World ceased to exist."
Damn, don't be so concise, okay? Ling Yi understands the Primordial World, and he knows about the God Investiture Ling Yi, but what are the Four Continents? The Western Continent in Journey to the West?
At least give me some more details!
"After the Journey to the West, Spirit Mountain flourished, but then demons wreaked havoc on the world, and demons and Buddhas fought a great war. Demons, monsters, and Buddhas clashed, causing the world to collapse and the four continents to perish. After countless cycles of time, the wasteland spontaneously gathered together and became this new Mortal World Realm."
In other words, the Eastern Continent of Divine Land, Western Continent of Cattle, Northern Continent of Kuru, and Southern Continent of Jambu Central City destroyed in the war between the Demon and the Buddha, reduced to dust floating in the universe, and then slowly gathered together again. Is this the truth behind the birth of Earth?
It's a little far-fetched, a little contrived.
Furthermore, Ling Yi felt something was off. These details weren't in the movie "The Weather Forecast," so who added them? Was it the Role-Playing Space provided the details?
If Role-Playing Space that replenishes itself, that's fine; but if not, then things get interesting.
Ling Yi leans more towards the latter.
And the only person who could fill in these details is probably... the actor playing the role.
Ling Yi suddenly had a wild guess in his mind, and couldn't help but recall the scenes he had experienced before.
It seems that the plot differs from what I'm familiar with in Duoduo.
Have these scenes already been rehearsed by the actors?
These actors are likely not actors from Ling Yi's group or from this world, but rather actors from other worlds.
Of course, this is just Ling Yi's wild idea; whether it's true or not, we'll have to verify it later.
The Jade Emperor talked to him at length, and it was unclear how much time had passed before he finally stopped.
Ling Yi yawned. Damn, he'd been listening to the story synopsis for hours; no wonder he was sleepy.
"Is this world an illusion?" At this moment, the Jade Emperor suddenly uttered a sentence that shocked Ling Yi greatly.
"What makes Your Majesty say such a thing?" Ling Yi immediately became alert, ready to fight or flee at any moment.
"You are not yourself, are you? It seems that I am I, yet I am not I."
Can't you speak like a human being? Besides, what you're saying is too dangerous; it might get me out of the game, bro.
"This world Reincarnation 1228 times. I, the mighty ruler of Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor, have had my memories altered 99 times. The stories I just told you were not originally in my memory."
No wonder these stories all sound like synopses.
Alright, Ling Yi's guess came true. Now there's no need to verify it; the Jade Emperor is the evidence.
The Jade Emperor's voice was dejected, tinged with despair, as he said with a bitter smile, "But what use is knowing all this? I've tried; Reincarnation is inevitable."
"You are very special. I have tried many methods, but I have been unable to get the truth out of you."
Nonsense, who dares to tell the truth? A warning to eliminate...
"I know you have limitations, so rest assured, I know what should be said and what shouldn't be said. Besides, the more times this world Reincarnation, the wider the limitations become. Do you understand what I mean?"
Ling Yi nodded, understanding perfectly.
Ling Yi thought for a moment and said, " Jade Emperor, I can tell you the truth, but not now. I can even help you escape the Reincarnation, on the condition that..."
Two days later, the Jade Emperor issued an edict requiring all deities, great and small, to return to Heavenly Court for a meeting within a day.
The once deserted Hall of Divine Soaring has finally become lively.
There are truly many gods in the Heavenly Court, with millions of Heavenly Soldier and generals, and countless officials of all ranks, but fewer than a hundred are able to enter the Hall of Divine Soaring.
"Gentlemen, you are all veterans of the Heavenly Court. Taibai, for example, has been with me for nearly two Yuanhui (a unit of time)."
Taibai bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there are still ten thousand years left, which is two cycles."
"This Heavenly Court, seemingly filled with celestial music and breathtaking beauty, has become increasingly barren and monotonous after the Four Continents. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is scarce, and the end of the Dharma has arrived. Although we can achieve immortality through the Investiture of the Gods Scroll, we have no further path forward."
The Jade Emperor sighed.
"Watching the sun rise and set over several cycles of time, no matter how beautiful, is still Bored. Although we are immortals, we are not as fond of the bustling and prosperous mortal world."
"Because of the restrictions imposed by the Heavenly Laws of the Investiture of the Gods Scroll of the Gods, apart from a few immortals who enjoy the offerings of incense in the mortal world, most people can only sit idly day after day, wasting their years. Their hearts have long since turned to stone, their souls to ice, and their lives have become meaningless. Even I am truly fed up with it."
Everyone remained silent, but the expressions on their faces were filled with sorrow.
The Jade Emperor was right. They were all tired and fed up. Being a deity was utterly boring; it was far less enjoyable than being A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality in the mortal realm.
Moreover, with the Investiture of the Gods Scroll in existence, they couldn't die even if they wanted to.
But what does the Jade Emperor mean by saying this all of a sudden? Does he mean to amend the Heavenly Laws? Does he mean to allow gods to descend to the mortal realm?
Impossible. The Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods Scroll was created by the Holy Ancestor, and the Heavenly Laws cannot be altered, not even by the Jade Emperor.
If we can't descend to the mortal realm, isn't saying all this essentially meaningless?
At this point, the Jade Emperor continued, "Although we cannot descend to the mortal realm at will, we can allow mortals to come up to the Heavenly Court and enjoy themselves with us. This would add some vitality to the Heavenly Court, which is much better than the Death Qi it is now."
Everyone was stunned. "Jade Emperor, what are you talking about? Didn't you always say that the Heavenly Court represents the dignity of the immortals? Let A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality rise up? Do you believe that those A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality can turn the Heavenly Court into a chaotic mess in a month or two?"
