This is an era filled with contradictions, a time when sages like Laozi, Confucius, Yan Zi, and Sun Zi emerged, laying the foundation for the Hundred Schools of Thought. But this era is also filled with injustice, with constant warfare resulting in the decline of hundreds of feudal states, leaving only a few dozen. Many feudal states have experienced multiple destructions and revivals. Kings seize the opportunity to invade when another king mourns the death of a relative or when the kingdom faces disasters. Rulers prioritize personal gain over trust and righteousness. They fail to rule as true kings, and their subjects fail to serve as loyal subjects. The power in the state of Lu is divided amongst the Three Hengs, in Jin it is shared among the Four Qing, and in Qi, the Tian family holds great power on the sidelines. In this era, Yang Zilu does not possess grand ambitions, but unfortunately, due to an incorrect decision by King Goujian, he is forced onto the path of hegemony. .........

In conclusion, after careful and meticulous observation, Lin Feng confirmed that he had returned to the past. Of course, this has nothing to do with things like the Moonlight Box, or perhaps there is no reason at all. Or maybe there is a reason that Lin Feng can't figure out. Although he likes to read "Science Fiction World" in the toilet and knows that there is a famous old man named Hawking in the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Great British Empire who proposed the famous theory of spacetime, confirming that it is impossible for a person to go back to the past, based on the current situation, this argument is obviously absolutely wrong. Unfortunately, he can't expose this scientific fraud in the present century.
