"Wu Song, a穿越novel, online playback - fantasy - Listen to novels 123" Note: The term "穿越" is often translated as "transcend" or "穿越" in the context of Chinese novels, referring to time/space traversal. However, in this case, I've kept it as "穿越" because it's a genre-specific term that might be recognized as is by readers familiar with Chinese literature. If you prefer, it could also be translated as "穿越 novel" -> "Transcendental novel" or "Time/Space Traversal novel". Please advise if you'd like a different interpretation.

The audiobook version of the穿越 novel "Wu Song" has been released on Listen to Novels 123 (www.txs123.com). The audiobook version of "Wu Song" is a fantasy and magic, time-travel type audio novel. This novel can be considered as the prequel to "Xie Feng Qu". In a mysterious cultivation world, an unpredictable disaster occurs, and 2012 becomes the source of human panic. Cultivation families mobilize a vast system. They send a young man with excellent potential from modern society back in time, hoping that he can enhance his cultivation in the cultivation world, use what he has learned to save it, and eliminate evil forces.

This novel is a rare large-scale audio novel and time-travel type novel, but its plot is very sorrowful and heart-wrenching. It records the forgotten "Wu" cultivation system of ancient China and explains why it became obsolete, as well as how the "Dao" school rose to prominence. With wild and fantastical writing, it tells a series of mysterious stories: the end of myths, the beginning of history, the sinking of Atlantis, and when the moon first rose into the sky...

In a previous life, while executing a special mission, the protagonist was severely injured by an enemy ambush. Determined to complete the mission, he made a desperate attack, triggering an energy explosion from one of the nine tripods - Zone 53's secret research subject. He was then transported by unknown forces under unknown laws to a strange era. He personally experienced the bloodshed and storms at the end of the Great Xia Dynasty, which is historically known as the end of mythology and the beginning of history. He witnessed the historical transformation from extreme prosperity to sudden decline of the Great Xia Dynasty. As the hidden star of the Wu religion's Star Sect, he helplessly watched the fall of Wu and the rise of Dao, becoming entangled with legendary figures from history. He personally observed how history became stories, stories turned into legends, and legends eventually evolved into myths, only to disappear entirely within history, leaving behind mere fragments.

Since ancient times, shamans emerged from the earth and heaven to guide the ancient common people to live in peace. King Yu endured countless hardships, slaying ten thousand demons, and finally succeeded in controlling the floods. King Yu gathered five metals from all over the land and forged nine divine tripods, inscribing tens of millions of shamanistic symbols on them to demonstrate to the people of the world. After several years, King Yu passed away, and his son Xia Qi completed his father's unfinished business and established a country named Xia, respecting the nine national tripods. After several generations, the Great Xia Dynasty declined, and this book's story begins from there.

In the 20th century, Chinese elite agent Xiahou discovered the main tripod of the national tripods while carrying out a mission to destroy ZONE53. When bringing the tripod back, he was attacked by enemies (it turns out later that the foreigners who attacked Xiahou were armed with advanced artillery from the Hai people!), and with great courage, he chose to self-detonate. However, he was reincarnated by the mysterious power of the great tripod into the Xia Dynasty, just in time for the final celebration before the tragic end of the mythological era where gods, demons, devils, immortals, and humans coexisted. He personally witnessed the decline of the Xia Dynasty, the strength and cruelty of the shamans, the high technology of the Hai people, and the true face of the moon – the End Times Fortress. In this crazy era, he loved, hated, went mad, and shed his blood. He saw Tang of Shang, Lui Gui (Jie of Xia), the Three Pure Ones, Hongjun, and the Celestial Deities. In this era, he befriended a group of passionate brothers from the Xingtian family. He witnessed the Heavenly Tower, the battle between the Shaman God and the Celestial Deity...
