Prologue: The Beginning of a Struggle

"This is endless!" thought the old general clad in light green armor outside his strategist robe given to him by Zhuge Liang, with the embroidered with pink flowers silk on his lower body armor plate. He slashed one Wei soldier on the head with his trident, Blink in his right hand and did a horizontal slice around him, slaying five to ten soldiers at the same time.

Just then, a sudden pain in the chest threw Jiang Wei on his knee, as he struggled to get up while holding onto his chest with his free hand. "No...I can't fall here! I cannot let the late Prime Minister down!"

Hordes of Wei troops surrounded Jiang Wei in a circle with a murderous expression on their faces . Jiang Wei could stand no longer. If he was to die, he would not let the others have the honor of slaying him. He would do it himself! He thought, as he brought his trident to his throat and slashed it. The last thing he thought was, "Forgive me, Prime Minister..."

Jiang Wei, the last hope of Shu, had fallen during the rebellion at Cheng Du, along with Zhong Hui, his sworn friend whom he had made use of. Jiang Wei had no regrets before he fell. He had done his duty well. He had fought for Shu to the end. Liu Chan, however, had cowardly surrendered to Wei without even consulting him. Even though, he had no resentment against his lord. He had promised to restore Shu-Han but failed miserably, that was what he regretted the most. He remembered fighting his Eternal rival, Deng Ai, losing and winning marginally. If only he hadn't stood in his way... Perhaps, the restoration of the Han Empire could have succeeded. But he remembered in one battle with Deng Ai, his Nemesis had spoken,

"I owe my life to Lord Sima Yi, for that, I must repay him for my gratitude. I will fight for Wei loyally. I shall defeat you even though you were once part of Wei!"

Now, Jiang Wei was dead. His body had suffered heart spasms repetitively before he fell to his knees. Perhaps this was Heaven's fate. He was destined to die and the Han Empire will never ever be restored. The old man who wore green light armor outside his strategist robe, with a golden sash on his waist and a silk embroidered with pink flowers on his lower body plate armor, was then cut into pieces by Wei soldiers. His wife and daughters also were executed in the same way as he did. He had failed his family, his master and his oath. If only... He was given just one more chance. To redeem himself. To crave out a new path for destiny... But was it all too late now?

Jiang Wei was lying on the ground, unconscious. He was engulfed in darkness. When he slowly opened his eyes and woke up. He got up and saw nothing but pitch black darkness. He could barely see his hands. Just then, he remembered he was dead. He tried to stroke his white beard only to find out that there was no beard?! He was made younger now, with long black hair tied in a pony tail. Perhaps he was in hell, for all the sins he had caused for the deaths of many people because of all of his endless futile resistance against Wei, he wondered. If this was truly hell... why was there only darkness? No torture...No judges to sentence him to eighteen depths of hell... Jiang Wei felt like it was the end for him. He had failed his duty. He felt so depressed until he shed a tear.

"Prime Minister... Forgive me..." weeped the young prodigy of Tian Shui.

"Do not cry." said a voice which came out of nowhere. "Who's goes there?!" said Jiang Wei as he turned around only to see nothing but darkness. Am I going to be swallowed eternally in darkness? He wondered. The male tough voice sounded again as a man appeared before Jiang Wei out of sudden. This was Fu Xi... the god and a culture hero, reputed to be the inventor of writing, fishing and trapping. He was wearing Leather Jerkin and armed with a great sword. He has a fairly handsome face with silky raven black short hair.

"I am Fu Xi, now a god that govern the Heaven and Hell in afterlife." replied the human-like God."

"What...You must be the god that taught his subjects to cook, to fish with nets, and to hunt with weapons made of iron. You are also the one who instituted marriage!" exclaimed Jiang Wei, who appeared to be shocked.

"Indeed...I am. You must be the famous Jiang Wei, the Prodigy of Tian Shui. Even though your efforts to revive the kingdom of Shu was commendable, it was still a failure and led to unnecessary deaths of many. For that you should be sentenced to hell. However...I would like to test the will and strength of humans..." paused Fu Xi as he glanced at Jiang Wei, who seemed to be silent. Jiang Wei was only trying to fulfill the late wishes of the late Prime Minister, Zhuge Liang, but was it necessary to cost so many lives? He could not help but wondered. Perhaps the god, Fu Xi, was correct after all.

"I will give you just one chance. I will return you back to life back in time before the times of chaos when you will try and change the fates of the land as you wishes. However, in three years time, you must bring before me, three things. The token of Love, the token of Justice and Token of Loyalty. If you failed... I will simply put you to death again and be returned to your present state then you will suffer in hell eternally. Note that you will lose your memory as well . Will you accept this test?" asked Fu Xi.

Jiang Wei was looking down at the ground, which was nothing but darkness, without even considering twice, decided to take this chance. This is it. If he were to have another opportunity to fulfill his duty and once again fight to restore the Han Dynasty, he would do so at any price to pay.

"I accept! For anything I will give if I can truly return back to life!" said Jiang Wei.

"Very well then. Now you shall be revived. I expect the conditions to be fulfilled in three years time. Remember, you only have 3 years." reminded Fu Xi before the darkness dispersed, which the light replaced and took Jiang Wei away before he could react...

Diao Chan was waiting at the gate of Xia Pi Castle. Waiting for her lord, Lu Bu, to return. She turned around and found Lu Bu walking slowly to her.

"I know you can do it! Lord Lu Bu!" said Diao Chan as she ran to Lu Bu's side. Suddenly, Lu Bu collapsed, dropping his famous Halberd, Sky Scorcher on the ground, revealing three arrows struck onto his back, piercing his armor. Lu Bu was dead as Diao Chan held him up, letting his head resting on her shoulder.

"Rest well...my beloved." said Diao Chan as she tried to control the sorrow in her heart over her lover's death. A tear dropped on Lu Bu's shoulder. It was her tear. However, an arrow that came out of nowhere and pierced the back of her head...killing her instantaneously.

"Is this what you truly want as well? The Han Dynasty was destroyed even though you tried to restore it by killing Dong Zhuo. Your mission to the Han was already completed. There is no more reason you should want to return back to life, Diao Chan." said a young woman with a fairly beautiful face. She has slightly longer black hair which flows naturally, with a golden tiara with red jewels. She was clad in light green armor, with leather trappings above her waist, but bellow her waist, she wore cloth dress, which was common dress preferred by women. This is Nu Wa, the goddess and wife of Fu Xi, also in charge of governing Heaven and Hell together with him.

"No...I want to return back to life. For the sake of saving Lord Lu Bu from the inevitable death he faced, I will do anything, including losing my memory. Please...I beg you..." pleaded Diao Chan. She was the peerless beauty with the most beautiful face in the land. Her brown hair was tied in a circle fashion with a golden hairpin given by Lu Bu. She was dressed in pink dress and wore pink shoes.

"Okay then... You will be revived, however, you must bring me three things as conditions to be returned to life. A token of True Love, token of Loyalty and lastly, token of beauty. If you failed... you will suffer the same fate of that Shu-Han officer, but you will then spend the rest of your life locked away in Heaven though." warned Nu Wa, before a shine of bright light chased out the darkness, and took Diao Chan away before she could react. The last thing she thought while her memory retained was,

"who was that officer?"

Deng Ai was finally freed from the prisoner cart after being bound by chains! He desperately tried to run together with his son away from the escort soldiers under Zhong Hui's order. When he saw banners of his own troops, he immediately ran to them, thinking that he had been saved. But the rider on the horse galloped toward him and before Deng Ai could even gasped, a long blade slashed off his head... He had been betrayed by his own men and killed before he could even react... His son, Deng Zhong, was not spared as well.

The last thing Deng Ai could think of was "Revenge".

When the light faded, a man, clad in blue armor, with the symbols of Wei, and wore a blue turban. He has small goatee with fine mustache shaped in a straight line. He slammed his fist against the wall and bellowed,

"Return me to life as well! This is not fair! That bastard used a cheap plot which resulted in my untimely death! I didn't plan to revolt! Why didn't anyone believe me! I was so loyal to Master Sima Yi back then, and this is what i get? I want to defeat and ridicule that incompetent scum, Jiang Wei again!"

Fu Xi let out a heaved sigh before he answered,

"Oh well, Deng Ai, if you so badly want to return to life. I will do so. Bring me three things as well. A token of Rivalry, Token of Friendship, Token of Treachery, or you shall face the same fate of Jiang Wei. Understood?"

"Yes, I would do anything just to face my rival! He is the only despicable rival deemed worthy to be slain only by me and no one else! I would have my revenge for the shame he had caused me! Hahahaha!" laughed Deng Ai before he was taken away by a ray of light...

After the three people had been taken by the light, Nu Wa appeared right back at Fu Xi's side, and hugged his arm. Fu Xi then commented on the three people who desperately wanted to change the course of nature.

"Those three... Will they succeed in their objectives? Perhaps this is interesting to watch, my dear?" asked Fu Xi

"Yes...We, gods, do get bored after governing the afterlife for so long! Now we can have something interesting to see. The Will of Heaven or the Will of men, which shall prevail, we will see then." replied Nu Wa

"Now the three kingdoms era shall return back to the times where the Yellow Turban rebellion broke out...The fates of the land lie in the hands of those three..." commented Fu Xi.
