Primordial Era: Laozi Comprehends the Dao and Enters Modern Times

Deep within chaos, the Purple Qi of the Eight Views Palace arrives from the east in auspicious radiance, and Laozi sits cross-legged upon the Nine Treasure Lotus Platform, with seventy-two-colored light intertwining overhead like a net. Vital energy surges within his body, his divine awareness sinks into the void of the Great Dao, and he is about to touch the ultimate truth when a streak of discordant black light suddenly pierces into his sea of consciousness.

His dao heart trembles, his intent shatters, and the might of a sage roils through the hall. He abruptly opens his eyes and sees that above him is not the chaotic sky, but a white ceiling. A phone alarm rings beside his pillow, and car horns sound outside the window—Taishang Laojun opened and closed his eyes once, and in that instant crossed the whole era of Honghuang into the modern world.
