Crisis of Becoming a Lostbelt

At this moment, bursts of dragon roars emanated from the majestic Qin Palace, spreading a terrifying aura.

Its influence spread throughout the former territory of the Qin state.

Even the entire world that had been unified by the Great Qin Dynasty.

Within the Dong Hua Palace, divine light appeared, and a Peach Tree of Immortality materialized, the power emanating from the planet itself obscuring the area within a hundred miles.

On Mount Li, a goddess with flowing golden hair wielded a long spear from Fever Temple, drawing back the curtain of the underworld.

In the Wei River, Wuzhiqi yawned lazily, then reached out and stirred up the waves.

The water vapor on the surface of the Wei River surged, and a thick fog rose up.

They each protected their surrounding territory.

Yu Ji is still in seclusion, Ereshkigal Lei is connecting the north and south of the Underworld, Wuzhiqi is still sealed away.

All capable Holy City remain on the sidelines and observe.

Without the decree of the Heavenly Emperor, no one can descend to the mortal realm.

Inside the palace, however, the officials kept their heads down, not daring to look at the figure on the throne. They were afraid to look into the cold dragon eyes, and even more afraid to gaze at the black mist that was spreading out, and the countless writhing 'dragon scales' that were vaguely spreading out of the mist.

Li Si dared not, Zhao Gao stood beside the First Emperor, looking restrained and trembling, not daring to move an inch.

The changes in the First Emperor during this period.

His majesty was heavy.

His personality gradually became more and more unpredictable.

As a result, they dared not report the actual situation to the emperor, nor did they dare tell the emperor that the world was in chaos.

Demons and monsters wreak havoc on the world, and evil spirits roam everywhere.

Furthermore, Six States joined in an attempt to win over the hearts and minds of the people, planning to stage an assassination attempt on the King of Qin.

All of this actually stemmed from the changes in the First Emperor himself.

The 'dragon' he transformed into

It created the foundation for the existence of demons in this world.

"Your Majesty's divine might is so great that even Immortals and Gods cannot match it." But one person still spoke with a smile, wearing a black robe, with two strands of light blue hair on his forehead reflecting a crystalline glow.

This young man stood at the head of the court, on equal footing with the Three Kings. He was the one who replaced the puppet "Siming" after Xu Fu ordered it to return to the Dong Hua Palace and became the "new Imperial Advisor." He claimed to be an ancient True Immortal from Penglai, possessing the power that would allow the First Emperor to truly command the Three Realms, not just the Divine Land.

He offered the methods of the ancient sages, enabling the First Emperor to cultivate a body resembling the ' Ancestral Dragon '.

Is it good or bad?

The officials were unaware of this.

But they all knew that the First Emperor trusted this man inexplicably, trusting him as much as he trusted himself.

The Imperial Advisor said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Your Majesty's true dragon body has been formed. No matter how vast the world is, no one can withstand Your Majesty's divine might!"

"Hahaha—well said!" The First Emperor laughed, "It's a pity that my ten golden statues were not completed, otherwise, they would surely have made the Immortals and Gods submit."

"It doesn't matter if the ten golden figures are not completed," the 'person' said. "Since they cannot be completed, then—what harm is there in taking the heavens' place?"

The ministers were instantly speechless.

The First Emperor, sitting on the throne, also stared at them instantly, his golden eyes suddenly turning extremely cold.

"Are you the 'Heaven' that instigated me to oppose me, and that I personally acknowledge and revere?"

The man was still smiling.

"Why not? I don't recall His Majesty being a person who reveres Heaven and God—"

The First Emperor was indeed not a person who revered Heaven and gods, because he always believed that he was neither above Heaven nor above any deity.

As the supreme ruler of the nine provinces, the first emperor to truly unify the Yanhuang and achieve a feat surpassing that of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and Five Emperors, he never lacked such magnanimity and confidence.

However, he said, "Although I do not follow Heaven or believe in God, I will not do anything to harm my friends."

Although their relationship was brief, Rovi was one of the few beings in the First Emperor's eyes who was on equal footing with him and who never put on that superior attitude of a so-called Immortals and Gods.

Therefore, it is only natural that he regards him as a friend of equal status.

The emperor's friendships did not need to be genuine.

All I ask for is equality.

The Imperial Advisor of Penglai was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, "Friend? That's a term I've never heard before—"

"Ha ha ha, someone like you can't possibly understand me!"

The First Emperor's laughter was deep and resonant, like the roar of a dragon, and the pillars at the four corners of the Qin Palace stood tall and imposing.

The officials remained silent with their heads bowed, and then the First Emperor said, "Yiri, do you have anything to report?"

After the words were spoken, the ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. After a long while, someone finally answered, "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

"What is it?"

"Your Majesty, I have something to present to you!"

What is it?

The First Emperor raised an eyebrow, his golden dragon eyes piercing through the thick black mist as he looked at the speaker.

He was an official with a slightly slender build.

The official said, "It is a Divine Sword."

"Divine Sword?"

"That's right, this sword embodies the hopes of all people, gathers the essence of mountains and rivers, and collects the spirit of heaven and earth."

What is the name of the sword?

"The sword is named 'Junwen' (君问), meaning 'to ask the king a question for the world'."

"Ask Your Majesty—"

"Dare you drink from this sword?!"

As soon as the words fell, a sharp clang rang out, and a sword suddenly appeared between the official's long sleeves. His crown fell off, and his long, black hair flew up, revealing his pretty face.

It was a woman.

Even more shockingly, it was an assassin.

Her sword was extremely fast and sharp, flashing like lightning. Before the officials could react and the palace guards could defend themselves, she was already in front of the First Emperor, her sword piercing through the vast black mist that enveloped him.

whoosh whoosh...

The woman pursed her lips tightly, her face solemn.

This sword strike is a vow to assassinate the Qin emperor for the sake of the people.

However, before the sword light arrived, it was tightly gripped by a dragon claw that emerged from the mist, emitting a buzzing sound, "Not bad sword, but unfortunately, it's still too slow."

As soon as the words were spoken, a tremendous force struck, sending the girl disguised as an official flying and crashing heavily to the ground.

"It's a familiar scene... Although it's a bit late, it's still here." The ' Imperial Advisor ' smiled.

The First Emperor glanced at him. "Was this something you expected?"

"Counting back and forth over eight hundred years, what you said to me was nothing out of the ordinary." The Imperial Advisor nodded.

The First Emperor snorted and looked down at the girl who had fallen to the ground but quickly got up and gripped her long sword.

He said, "Your sword is pure and generous, with the spirit of chivalrous wanderers from Yan and Zhao."

"Are you Yan State from Chu?"

"The Wei State, Jing Ke." The girl raised her hand to wipe the blood from her lips.

The First Emperor asked, "Why did you assassinate me?"

"Now that the world is unified, I originally did not want to come, but now I have no choice but to come," Jing Ke replied, standing up.

"Why?"

"For the sake of all the people under heaven!" Jing Ke stroked his sword and stood up.

The swordswoman, who had once met Rovi Wei in the Yan State, did not originally intend to come. She did not reject the unification of the world; in her view, a unified world, ending the strife and war, might allow China to enter a better era.

Therefore, although she had helped Crown Prince Yan of Yan State find helpers many times before, she never personally took action for him.

I was just observing.

They just stood by and watched.

She fulfilled her responsibilities as a friend.

With the world unified, the people did indeed enjoy a period of good life, but this good fortune did not last long.

Demons suddenly appeared.

However, the Qin Dynasty officials turned a blind eye to this.

The source of the demonic manifestation was the figure sitting high on the emperor's throne right before their eyes.

That's why Jing Ke wanted to assassinate the King of Qin.

He wanted to assassinate the Qin emperor for the sake of all the people of the world.

The Yan and Zhao regions have always been home to many generous and tragic heroes, and she wouldn't mind following their example once.

"I have not drunk any alcohol for many days in preparation for this assassination attempt on the King of Qin."

"It's rare to be clear-headed in life."

"Your Majesty, take a good look at this sharp sword, this dazzling shadow."

"Could you pierce through your heavy, muscular body?"

"Hahaha, the sword that came for the people?" The First Emperor laughed, as if he were not surprised at all. The dark mist instantly expanded, revealing an extremely large black dragon body, its scales writhing and rubbing against each other, shimmering with light. "Then come on, give it a try!"

The sword light shone again.

Jing Ke frowned and stepped forward.

The dragon roared, echoing throughout the palace.

On the land of Qilu, pear trees bloom and wither in an instant; those once towering trees vanish in the blink of an eye.

When everyone came to their senses, they found that there was nothing in front of them, and everything before seemed to have been an illusion.

The emptiness in one's heart will also return.

She had been watching Wukong from the stone bridge and knew it wasn't an illusion. She scratched her head and looked at Luo Rovi, who had returned to Wukong's side. "Did Master slay that demon?"

"It's just to let Him find His rightful place!" Rovi glanced at her. "I won't be happy if He doesn't slay the demons who try to disrupt the world!"

Wukong clapped his hands and exclaimed with delight, "Great, Master! That's exactly how it should be!"

"Don't do it here." Rovi flicked Wukong's forehead, and as the girl winced in pain, he adjusted his sleeves and said, "The Divine Land has changed, and I'm afraid I can't take you on a leisurely cultivation trip like before."

"Heh, what's the big deal?" Wukong clenched his fists, eager to show these demons how powerful Sun Wukong is!

"You're really confident."

"Of course..."

"You're still too weak. If you want to show your skills, at least wait until you become a Great Sage!"

"Hmph, Master, just you wait! This mere Great Sage is within my grasp."

"Stop bragging, start doing it."

"If it weren't for the fact that you're my master..."

"How?"

"I definitely won't go with you!"

"Then what about you?"

"No, no, you call me 'no,' but I won't!"

The noisy, clamorous sounds continued to accompany us all the way.

Rovi and Wukong embarked on their journey once again, but this time it was different from their previous leisurely pace.

This time, Wukong is here to hone his skills.

Rovi, however, was even more dedicated to slaying demons and monsters.

He doesn't believe in demons.

As the Heavenly Emperor, and as the people of Qin, they worshipped the Azure Heaven.

If you see it,

Then he must be executed.

He is a god, and a man.

What he sought was always freedom and unrestrained living.

That is, demons.

It is a scourge to the world

Therefore, he killed them without hesitation.

And so on this day.

A monstrous demon transformed into a beautiful woman to devour the life essence of passersby, but suddenly a celestial sword descended from the sky, decapitating her and causing her dead bones to shatter instantly.

This moment.

A demon has taken over the mountain and become its king, oppressing the people in the surrounding area.

A sword falls, slaying ten thousand demons in a single strike.

In that instant, in that blink of an eye, as heaven and earth seemed to vanish, someone sang an evil song:

Riding the wind on a sword.

Exorcising demons across the land.

The faint, ethereal singing echoed across the wilderness.

The legendary swordsmanship is renowned, and demons from all directions retreat in fear.

No one dared to challenge its edge again.

Of course, during this process, Wukong was actually dissatisfied, after all...

"Has it been resolved?"

"Yes."

"My master didn't even give me a chance to show my skills."

"You? You should give up. You've just entered the Immortal Realm immortals, and you can't withstand the temptations of the mortal world."

"Cut--"

Wukong grinned, his messy red hair cascading down his pretty face, full of dissatisfaction. "I will definitely find a chance to make you acknowledge me."

"I'm looking forward to that day." Rovi paused, glanced at the petite red-haired girl who was only as tall as his chest, and laughed, "But it seems to me that you are still tens of millions of years away from achieving enlightenment."

Rovi pointed to the top of his head, then pressed down on Wukong's messy red hair with his hand, making the girl grimace in displeasure, before saying, "You'll know once you try it yourself."

"So what if it's the sky? Sooner or later, I will be on par with the sky!"

"Hahaha. I'm waiting for that day!"

"Then you just wait and see, Master!"

"..."

Forward, onward and onward.

Wukong kept chattering away the whole way.

Despite appearing carefree, Rovi's mood was far from good during this period, witnessing the turmoil in China.

Moreover, the closer one gets to Hangu Pass, the closer one gets to Xianyang.

The more he felt the power manifested there, the more he could sense it.

First Emperor...

It has been transformed into a very special existence.

Although he hadn't faced it directly, Luo Rovi could already sense this. As the First Emperor, the First Emperor of Kyushu, he displayed a powerful aura at this moment, yet it appeared so murky.

Its influence has spread throughout the entire Divine Land.

The resurgence of countless demons is merely a harbinger.

If left unchecked, this place will inevitably become a ' Singularity Point ' destined to be repaired.

Then, everything Rovi did before will be completely erased. All traces of his existence on the Divine Land will disappear without a trace. The power he gained now will not disappear, and he will become a rootless duckweed. Everything will turn to ashes.

Even now, although Rovi is powerful enough to influence the entire planet, he still does not have the ability to resist the power of the planet's repair mechanism.

This is not a planet, but a planet called Earth, which is maintained by an infinite number of parallel worlds across the past and future timelines.

This is not simply comparable to the scale of the planet.

This is something that might happen, and something that Rovi absolutely does not want to see.

He still cherishes the bond he formed with the people of China.

I don't want to just leave like this.

Therefore, he had to stop it.

We must 'save' this timeline and this point in time.

So they headed straight for the border.

The direction it faces is meaningless.

It is Xianyang.

Now, having traversed the lands of Six States, vanquishing demons and monsters along the way, they have already reached Hangu Pass ahead.

Further ahead,

It is both the former territory of the Qin state and the core area of the Qin Dynasty.

A ray of sunshine rises.

The Blazing Sun shines brightly, illuminating the vast mountains and rivers!
