For the 100th Time, I Am Not the Great Sage!
Far away, on an island hidden in the mist, an ancient library keeps the secrets of the heavens above, the earth beneath, and hell below — secrets even the Jade Emperor isn’t privy to.
A nameless scholar wakes up in the body of Lang Yuzhu, the Great Sage of this ancient library.
“Look, there must have been a mistake. I am not the Great Sage you all know. I am someone else in his body!”
The seven disciples looked upon him in awe…
One muttered, “Those words, ‘Look, there must have been a mistake,’ was the opening phrase of the personal diary of Fuxi Bingwen after he was chosen to be the next Great Sage four-hundred years ago… I just read his scrolls yesterday!”
Another thoughtfully added, “In Wise Words by Gui Zhiyuan, when he was giving an account of his misdeed in secretly aiding the Black Brotherhood in the Poison War one thousand years ago, he mentioned he was no longer the Great Sage his disciples knew…”
With sparkly eyes, a disciple banged his forehead on the floor, and screamed, “And in the story, Romance of the Gu Masters by the Immortal Ren Zu, the Demon Lord Fang Yuan was someone else entirely after returning to the past after five hundred years of experience!”
The seven disciples immediately kowtowed.
“Master! Your wisdom is too profound!”
“Master! Forgive this disciple! Please guide me, for I cannot see beyond Mount Tai!”
“Master! Forgive me too for not understanding! Please enlighten us on the meaning of your words!”
The quiet disciple smirked and sighed in disappointment. “This is why Master can only count on me. Following the sequence of Master’s words, Fuxi Bingwen was known for his honesty and meekness, Gui Zhiyuan for his craftiness and luck, and the story of the Demon Lord Fang Yuan being a different person after returning to the past, it all means only one thing…”
Lang Yuzhu and the other disciples looked upon him hopefully.
“...Master has returned from the future and has amassed at least 500 years worth of wisdom and experience! At such a youthful age, he is the wisest Great Sage to have ever lived!”
‘...Jesus.’
