I have lived for a hundred thousand years. I can't hide it anymore.

"Great-grandfather, look quickly. This is the Bund in Shanghai. It was called a concession area before." In the taxi, Ye Qingxue said with a smile to the white-haired old man beside her. The old man is named Ye Tian. Wearing gray traditional Chinese clothing, he is tall. Although he looks old, judging from the outline of his face, he should have been a top-notch handsome man when he was young. "Concession area..." Ye Tian looked at the scene outside the window and frowned slightly. In the next moment, deep in his memory, a long-sealed door burst open! No one knows that Ye Tian is actually an immortal. His real age has exceeded ten thousand years! However, every thousand years or so, he will enter a nirvana period. During the nirvana period, his memory will gradually be lost, just like a computer that has been running for too long needs to be restarted. This process generally lasts for about a hundred years. After passing through the nirvana period, the lost memory will be restored. His most recent nirvana period began in the 1920s. Up to now, it is almost exactly a hundred years. And coincidentally, he was living in this place in the concession area of Shanghai at that time. Looking at the familiar scene in front of him, the massive amount of memories hidden deep in his mind suddenly gushed out like a spring. "Ten thousand years..." Ye Tian murmured in a low voice. His eyes were like an unfathomable abyss, as if encompassing the stars and the universe. He was originally born in primitive wilderness and experienced the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, witnessing the rise of human civilization with his own eyes. He once assisted King Wu of Zhou in his campaign against King Zhou of Shang together with Jiang Ziya and witnessed King Zhou of Shang burn himself to death on the Star Picking Tower. However, in order not to expose his identity as an immortal, he used his power to erase all the history about him, so he is not known to later generations. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, with his own strength, he gave rise to the Hundred Schools of Thought. Lao Tzu, Confucius, Zhuangzi, Mozi... all can be considered his students. Not only that, feeling bored with life, he also traveled far to ancient India, ancient Greece and other places. He discussed philosophy with Socrates in Athens, inspired Sakyamuni to attain enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, and discussed religious beliefs with Jesus in Jerusalem... When he returned to the land of China again, it was already the end of the Warring States Period. In Handan City of the State of Zhao, he met Ying Zheng, who was still a hostage, and took him as his disciple. After that, he took Ying Zheng back to Xianyang and helped him sweep away the six kingdoms and unify the world, and then resigned and lived in seclusion. When time came to the Han Dynasty, on a whim, he led troops to march north to the desert and defeated the Xiongnu so badly that he was respected as the god of the army. After that, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, and the people were in dire straits. Ye Tian took in his second disciple, a descendant of the Han family named Liu Xiu. With Ye Tian's help, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu became a generation of emperor in just over ten years, starting from an insignificant rural lad, and established the Eastern Han Dynasty. Such a legendary story even made Liu Xiu be called the son of destiny by later generations. But no one knows that it is because there is a master guiding him from behind. After ascending the throne, Liu Xiu wanted to honor Ye Tian as the imperial tutor, but he declined again. And he strictly ordered Liu Xiu to erase all historical records about him, and then left gracefully. At this time, he was already over eight thousand years old! Having seen too many partings and deaths, watching relatives and friends die in front of him one by one, Ye Tian's heart gradually cooled down, and he decided not to interfere in the disputes of the world anymore. After the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms contended for hegemony. During the five hundred years of chaos in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Ye Tian did not make a move. He watched coldly and witnessed the changes of dynasties and the rise and fall of the world. At this time, he began to be engrossed in art. Because he had a lot of time. Even without outstanding talent, with the addition of nearly infinite time, he could always reach the pinnacle. He once guided Wang Xizhi in calligraphy, taught Hua Tuo medical skills, drank with Ruan Ji and Ji Kang in the bamboo forest, traveled with the poet Li Bai with swords, and taught Wu Daozi the skills of painting... Even the four great inventions that are famous at home and abroad actually all came from Ye Tian. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, unable to bear seeing the people of China being bullied, Ye Tian decided to make a move for the last time. However, he, who had already seen through everything, did not plan to take action himself. Instead, he took in a disciple and taught him all his strategies for governing the country. This person was Liu Bowen, who later helped the beggar emperor Zhu Yuanzhang unify the country. After resolving the chaos of war in China, Ye Tian felt bored and came to Europe for a visit. He settled there for a hundred years. Unexpectedly, he accidentally triggered the Renaissance in Europe... After that, Ye Tian, who was tired of playing in Europe, started his journey around the world again. He had been to Africa, which was still a wild forest, and walked with lions and elephants. He also took a European fleet to America across the ocean and danced with local natives around the bonfire. He had seen the magnificent aurora on the Arctic glacier and also seen the ice and snow world of Antarctica. For hundreds of years, Ye Tian's footprints have covered every corner of the world, and there are legendary tales about him everywhere. ... It is no exaggeration to say that he is not only a witness to world civilization but also a promoter of the development of human civilization! When Ye Tian returned to the land of China again, it was already the end of the Qing Dynasty. And his tenth nirvana also arrived as scheduled. After ten thousand years of passing by, Ye Tian looked back suddenly. Everything was like a big dream. He felt an unprecedented tiredness in his heart. So Ye Tian hid his name and settled down in the countryside and adopted an orphan from the war. In the years that followed, Ye Tian hid his identity and completely lived an ordinary life. Ten thousand years of memories surged like a tide, and countless pictures flashed in Ye Tian's mind... At this moment, not only did Ye Tian's memory completely recover. Taking a deep breath, true qi surged deep in his dantian, like a tidal wave breaking a dyke, pouring into the eight extraordinary meridians and even every part of his body! With every inhalation and exhalation, true qi had completed a great cycle in his body. Almost instantly, Ye Tian's body returned to its peak state. His eyes were bright and piercing, as if they could generate electricity in an empty room. The old and decadent aura on his body was also swept away, giving people a feeling of vitality!
