While chatting with Yi Tian, he learned that Guan Yu was not the Guan Yu from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
But rather the Guan Yu from official history. The Celestial Dao Stone had also hinted that he was a real space-time figure, not an imagined one.
He never made a brotherhood oath with Liu, Guan, Zhang, but admired Liu Bei's benevolence and shared his ideals, which was why he vowed to follow him to the death in his past life.
The historical Guan Yu may not have slain Hua Xiong after warming his wine, nor fought as the three heroes against Lu Bu, nor crossed five passes and defeated six generals, nor killed Wen Chou.
But so what?
Guan Yu enacted miracles in history, taking a general's head from within the enemy ranks.
He is, without a doubt, the greatest fierce general in the official history of the Three Kingdoms.
Along with Zhang Fei, he became one of the only two "enemies of ten thousand" in the official records.
