Ancestral Dragon Ying Zheng

Before us stretches a vast expanse of yellow sand and dust, a once crucial gateway for the Qin state's eastward Six States the six kingdoms. Hangu Pass has always been a flat and expansive land.

Although the Guannei region is now unified, it remains the most important part of the country as it was once directly ruled by the Qin state.

Hangu Pass is still heavily guarded.

The soldiers stationed here had been in a daze for a long time. Although they followed their duties every day, they felt that something was suppressing their minds.

Not clear-headed enough, not relaxed enough.

Therefore, they did not notice that the territory they were guarding behind them had been covered by a misty fog for a long time, and they did not notice the demons and monsters that occasionally appeared in the misty fog.

Demons and monsters were everywhere, corrupting people's minds. The Qin Army's generals were conscientious and not completely affected, but it was impossible for them to remain completely unaffected.

"Guard..."

"Hangu Pass".

"They are each other's emperors—"

"Guard--"

Soldiers staggered up the city wall, while a general stood bewildered atop the city gate.

Suddenly, in a daze.

The shadow of the sky suddenly fell.

The sun rises.

"What... what's going on?" The Qin general suddenly came to his senses. He heard the sound of a magnificent and ancient bell echoing in his ears. The sound came from afar, but it seemed to have come from an ancient era.

Ancient, solemn, and dignified.

Suddenly, the world became clear.

The soldiers guarding the pass widened their eyes in surprise. They didn't know what had happened, but they clearly sensed something was wrong with themselves. They knew that the Qin state had been born.

They became even more aware that someone had arrived.

Rovi flicked his sleeve and crossed Hangu Pass with Wukong.

The gate was wide open, but neither of the guards on either side stopped them from entering; they wouldn't, and they dared not.

Because what came was not a person, but 'heaven'.

'Heaven'!

"Ba, Wukong."

"Master, wait for me!" The red-haired girl named Wukong hopped and skipped.

This was Rovi's first time traveling directly from Hangu Pass to Xianyang; his previous trips had all been by waterway along the Wei River, not by land.

So this is the first time.

But the scenery that was seen was not beautiful.

A misty fog enveloped every place and every corner within Hangu Pass. Countless people came and went, their lives Issei unchanged, yet their faces were filled with all sorts of bewildered desires.

Demons appeared.

Desire has broken free of its shackles.

Crimes of all kinds are rising sharply, and impulsive behaviors are rampant and difficult to suppress.

"This smell is awful..." Wukong wrinkled his nose. The girl looked at Rovi in front of her, tilted her head, and asked, "Master, do you want to go in again?"

Of course.

"It's just me." Rovi stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the petite Stone Monkey Girl beside him. He said, "You haven't become a demon saint yet, and you haven't completely subdued your Heart Monkey. These demons will still have an impact on you."

"Wait here, I'll go myself."

"I'm not afraid." Although she wasn't the pure Sun Wukong, but rather manifested in Possession State, how could she possibly be afraid?

Rovi waved his hand and said, "You are my disciple, and I will not let you become a hothouse flower, but you are not yet ready to face the demons of this world."

Wukong was stunned. She wanted to object, to fight back, but even more, she wanted to stay.

She knew that Rovi wouldn't let her continue following him.

But the Stone Monkey Girl, who had grown accustomed to following Rovi around, learning magic and supernatural powers, and observing the scenery of the human world, was also inexplicably apprehensive at this moment.

She came from a place that yearned for freedom.

But physical freedom can never compare to mental freedom.

Wukong felt very comfortable around Rovi, and their conversation was like that of a master and disciple, as well as friends.

She didn't want to give up this relationship.

Rovi, however, did not give Wukong a chance to refuse.

The wind that whipped up by her sleeve instantly enveloped Wukong. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found that her vision was reversed, time and space were changing, and her master's figure had disappeared.

Instead, there was a surge of tides and a vast, boundless sea.

She stood on a mountain on an island, at the highest point where she could see the entire island.

She opened her mouth...

"Your Majesty, you've returned?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"The King is back!"

Between the islands and in the woods, a series of chattering sounds rang out, and a group of monkeys living here leaped and bounded together in an instant.

They call themselves 'the Great King'.

This is the place where Sun Wukong stood when he was a divine stone, a celestial mountain in the vast East Sea.

This is Mount Huahu.

Her master casually tossed her back here from Hangu Pass.

"Master, you're not giving me a chance to show off again!" Wukong was frustrated and a little resentful.

She scoffed, "I'll prove it sooner or later, I won't lose to you—"

Even if you are the Heavenly Emperor.

Even if you are 'the sky'.

Sun Wukong here vowed to be equal to the heavens.

Rovi, however, turned away and continued on his way.

He obtained the transformation of 'spirit' from Wukong, gaining a unique gift created by Star Body and nature.

He also taught her how to control this power.

The foundation has been laid.

If he follows the steps, Wukong can reach a very high level, and then he won't need to keep learning anything from me.

She is ready to leave.

They must leave.

After all, what Rovi will face next can be described as a 'formidable foe' in some respects.

He passed through Hangu Pass and entered Xianyang.

The thick fog in the air enveloped the surrounding area, obscuring the view ahead.

They could sense the unusual appearance of the First Emperor First Emperor and perceive his strange transformation.

His existence caused countless natural and fantastical fairies that were originally hidden in the Sea of Stars to appear.

It covers the entire land of China, the vast land of China.

It's as if they're not the same person.

Not an individual.

Rather, it is like a 'platform' that covers the present world.

As emperor, ruling over all people, the existence of the First Emperor was engraved in the hearts of all people—regardless of good or evil, he had a very direct connection with Human Order.

His transformation will naturally lead to transformations throughout the entire land.

This is a top-down, unsettling change.

This also made Rovi feel the crisis even more acutely—not the crisis from the First Emperor, but the crisis from the world itself.

The power to restore the world, the crisis of the ' Human Order Singularity Point '.

He entered Xianyang.

The setting sun followed closely behind, piercing through the hazy mist.

What is Xianyang like right now?

Under the shroud of fog, countless shadowy figures could be seen, just like outside, the people here were still living 'as always'.

They seemed oblivious to the fog that enveloped the surrounding area, or perhaps their senses were clouded and they couldn't see it.

They were even less likely to see the demons lurking in the fog.

The pig demon greatly stimulated people's appetites; some people ate themselves to death, while others died from unconsciousness.

Nightmare-like fairies, insatiably greedy fairies, arrogant fairies...

They are disrupting people's lives.

People, however, remain unaware.

But Rovi only passed through. There are countless demons in the world, manifesting in far too many places. Moreover, they emerge based on people's hearts. Unless Rovi can cover the entire Human Order of China and completely eliminate them in one blow, these demons will continue to emerge endlessly.

Therefore, he chose to go straight to the Xianyang Palace.

Go directly to the source of the anomaly.

The First Emperor, Ying Zheng.

What is he doing?

What problem has occurred in him?

This is what Rovi wanted to ask.

This is something he needs to figure out.

He trembled upon the 'Chaos' atop the thirty-sixth heaven of the celestial realm. A magnificent bell tolled from above, and the formless tentacles of Chaos slowly unfurled. Countless immortal treasures and Divine Being level artifacts of the highest celestial realm, both tangible and intangible, displayed dazzling divine light, transforming into endless roars and drum-like sounds that merged with the bell toll and descended to the mortal world.

The world is vast and boundless, and the water shimmers with a misty haze.

Some people were shaken and suddenly became awake, while countless demons let out painful howls.

Wherever the sound passes, the Vast Divine Land is cleansed.

He cannot cover everyone.

Although it cannot affect a Human Order.

But as the heavens, they should also protect all the people.

To protect this vast land.

Under the protection of 'chaos', he entered the Qin Palace in his true form.

The majestic Qin Palace, with its numerous halls and imposing armored soldiers, housed a hundred civil and military officials, all of whom stood blankly, as if they were fast asleep.

Only one shadow sat high on the emperor's throne, looking down at the ground below.

And they looked more directly at the figure slowly entering the Qin Palace.

Gazing at the approaching... 'Sky'.

"So you've finally arrived? I knew you wouldn't skip it, hahahaha!"

A wild, arrogant laugh came from the throne.

Rovi paused, standing on the threshold of the hall, gazing ahead at the black mist that clung to the throne.

The figure of the 'Emperor' was faintly visible within.

But it was not human-shaped.

What Rovi could see was Ying Zheng's current form...

"So, Lord Rovi, what do you think of my posture?"

"Mountains and rivers are dragons, the sun and moon are dragons, heaven and earth are dragons, and I, too, am a dragon!"

The black mist dissipated, and the First Emperor finally revealed his majestic and imposing figure.

A tall, slender figure sat on the emperor's throne. He opened his eyes, which shone with a dazzling golden light. He wore a black robe with a black bird painted on it, and a crown with strings of beads hanging down his head.

But beneath those imperial robes and canopies lay not human figures, but 'dragons'.

A black dragon.

Dragon horns, dragon whiskers, dragon mane and scales, and... dragon's nine claws.

Nine-Clawed True Dragon.

Ancestral Dragon.

"Ying Zheng, don't you think your posture is strange?" Rovi slowly stepped forward and entered the hall. All the officials and guards put down their bows and remained silent.

They had all been bewitched by 'demons'.

The First Emperor burst into laughter, saying, "What's so strange about that? I am the rightful ruler of this world, so it is only natural that I become the 'dragon'!"

Is it a matter of course?

Of course not.

The dragon is a totem of the Chinese people, not a totem of later generations, but not all countries venerate it.

The totem flag of the Qin state was the 'Black Bird'.

Even though he was the first emperor, the First Emperor was indeed called ' Ancestral Dragon ' in later generations.

But at least for now, it shouldn't be like this.

However, the First Emperor, seemingly unaware, slowly raised his body, suspending it in mid-air. His figure, curled up on the throne, didn't appear large, but only when he raised his dragon head and dragged his long dragon body could his lower body be clearly seen—

The black Ancestral Dragon had only half of its body exposed above the ground.

And this is below.

The dragon's body was connected to the ground, and the Qin Palace floor was majestic and radiant, with black scales surging outwards.

"My body is formed with Xianyang as its head, Hangu Pass as its neck, the Qinling Mountains as its bones, the great Taiga as its blood vessels, the Mount Tian and Taishan Mountains as its two corners, and the four surrounding lands as its four legs."

"I did not become a dragon through my human body, but through the whole world, I manifested myself as a dragon!"

Rovi's's eyes suddenly became extremely focused.

As he traveled, he knew of the strange changes that had occurred in Xianyang, but he was still unable to see the specific reasons behind them. Even with his divine power, Taiyi, which was located thirty-six celestial realms above, he could not see through it directly.

Only now did Rovi realize that it wasn't that he couldn't see through it, but rather that he hadn't seen the whole picture.

He only visited Xianyang.

But Xianyang has always only been a part of it.

The First Emperor's creation was an attempt to encompass the entire land of China with himself, and to completely transform this land into his 'body'!

Therefore, demons can manifest themselves in various parts of the Nine Provinces based on him.

He is one.

Yet it encompasses the entire world!

It's not that Rovi can't see clearly, it's just that he hasn't aimed at the right direction or the target. He's only seeing a part of the whole picture. No matter how strong his computing power or how large the amount of information he analyzes and processes, it's absolutely impossible to calculate.

Outside the Qin Palace, there were also figures standing, their feathered robes fluttering and their black robes billowing, their golden eyes gleaming with a hint of divine light.

"Hahaha, interesting, very interesting!" He stroked his chin. "I taught him the Dragon Transformation Technique, and now he's using it to encompass the entire world?"

"Another 'I'... another 'me'".

This was beyond the expectations of the ' Imperial Advisor '.

This world is online, and it's called ' First Emperor '!

"Although I have not been able to create a body as Machine God as yours, my current size is certainly no less than yours."

The First Emperor had seen the Rovi's robot before, so he genuinely admired the massive robot structure.

Bigger and stronger.

Higher specifications of power.

"I wish to use this body to recreate the world."

"I intend to use this to create a world without war or strife, a world of prosperity and happiness."

"I, the King, will use my true dragon body to encompass the thirty-six counties of the Nine Provinces!"

"The emperor shall decide all things!"

The Emperor's Great Achievements.

The emperor was determined.

It has come to this.

However, he did not show any hostility towards Rovi. He simply said, "I have not touched Mount Li or Mount Tai, nor have I touched Dong Hua Palace."

"Because I believe you can understand my actions, because you are the heavens, the One, and the only friend in this world who can be my equal."

"How about joining forces with me to create a new Qin Great Qin!?"

The First Emperor's dragon body turned.

He and Luo Rovi extended their dragon claws, extending an invitation.

This is the emperor's invitation to the heavens.
