I Die, Yet My Soul Shall Become a Dragon!
Since the First Emperor Lostbelt, he has been sealed in this vast chaos.
His golden eyes were thoughtful as he surveyed the flowing, nameless mist in all directions. At this moment, chaos intertwined, just like the landscape before the world was born.
Everything appears as mist, and perfection lies between the tangible and the intangible.
He is here and cannot get out.
'Contact for the Holy Body... Contact failed...'
'Message failed to be sent.'
'Disorder, disorder.'
A constant buzzing sound filled His mind.
Rovi said, "Don't even think about contacting your physical body. It's useless. Once you're inside, even if your physical body came, you wouldn't be able to escape, let alone you."
The "First Emperor" before us is not a physical being.
The First Emperor, whose Lostbelt was cut off, had already achieved 'sanctification' when his own world still existed. His physical body was a computer called ' Afang Palace ' with computing power comparable to the earliest versions. He was at the top of the world, ruling over all things. He used it as the foundation to unify his world Earth.
Even after the Human Order was cut off Lostbelt disappeared, that body still existed and did not collapse. Instead, it fell into the Sea of Imaginary Numbers and established connections with the thousands of 'Sage Clones' that were released, serving as a transit station for creating countless Singularity Point.
In the past, the First Emperor also used this method to unify countless avatars and act in various realms.
Designing Singularity Point and guiding historical distortion.
If any errors or omissions occur, they can be transmitted to the body to obtain 'experimental data' and power support.
But it's no longer working.
"Interesting! I've actually fallen into your trap? This boundary line is truly fascinating, hahaha!" The First Emperor of the Lostbelt laughed heartily.
He said, "Are you trying to drive me away?"
"Your existence is always a threat to our world." Just like Rovi Wei, the enormous dragon shadow of the Ancestral Dragon was still there, but a tall emperor's shadow slowly emerged from it.
Wearing a crown, with black birds spreading their wings on his imperial robes, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword, his face, concealed by a beaded curtain, was handsome with slightly furrowed brows, and his golden eyes were like those of a hawk. His mustache was slightly upturned. He was dashing, dignified, and imposing.
Compared to him, the First Emperor of the Unknown Lostbelt resembled a Daoist priest, an immortal, or a knowledgeable sorcerer, but he was unlike any other emperor.
Just as the First Emperor of Lostbelt himself said, he left behind a shadow capable of creating a ' Singularity Point ' in every parallel world ' Great Qin ' that he could touch.
For Himself, this was merely a series of attempts and experiments.
Although his own world had collapsed and been severed, as the emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty who unified the world, he still believed that he bore the responsibility of ' Human Order '.
We must find a truly feasible path.
We must find a boundary line that can extend infinitely.
However, while His intentions may have been good, He did not consider the needs of every individual, nor did He consider that all living beings are living, breathing human beings.
This is precisely what the First Emperor and Rovi could not tolerate.
The First Emperor could not tolerate his will being manipulated by others, and Rovi could not tolerate the existence of Singularity Point.
Of course, initially, the First Emperor did not know that this was actually another version of himself.
He only learned of his identity after embarking on the path of dragon transformation and merging himself with the Divine Land. Given the vastness of the land and the immensity of the Nine Provinces, it was not difficult for him to discern his identity.
So he began to devise a plan, which was why he made the demons appear, and also why he fought against Rovi.
"You say you've ruled your world for two thousand years, but you must have forgotten the most important thing for an emperor."
Ying Zheng frowned and said, "The most important thing for an emperor is not his own ability or power, but how he uses people."
Employing and managing subordinates.
This is the fundamental principle of governing a country.
But does the First Emperor Lostbelt need it?
He doesn't need it.
Because its computing power can cover the entire surface of the planet, any problem can be solved perfectly in an instant, thanks to the massive amount of information in this vast database.
After completing the 'Holy Body', the First Emperor no longer needed anyone's help.
He alone is a world.
"You are a saint, a god, the one who judges all things, but you are no longer the emperor." Ying Zheng grinned, his mustache trembling.
The First Emperor paused, a hint of melancholy suddenly appearing in his golden eyes... "Is there a way for an emperor to exist?"
"That's right, this is what I believe is the way an emperor should exist." The First Emperor said matter-of-factly, "An emperor should decide what the people cannot decide, and lead the people out of the predicaments they cannot escape."
"But every people should have their own place and their own direction for moving forward."
"As king, all I need to do is ensure that the majority of people use their power in the same way to lead the empire forward!"
This is both the world and the consciousness of Ying Zheng.
Similar to Lostbelt: The First Emperor, but different.
This is a debate between two emperors.
A young man with ideals of being an emperor.
With the perfect and noble emperor.
Before the Core of Chaos, countless tentacles extended. Rovi reached out and plucked a golden bucket from one of the tentacles, using it as a wine vessel. He shook it to extract the fragrant wine and swallowed it.
He narrowed his eyes and did not participate in the debate between the two ' First Emperor '.
But his stance has remained firm and resolute from beginning to end.
Chaos severed the First Emperor's retreat route from the Lostbelt, cutting off his connection with the entity in the Sea of Imaginary Numbers, leaving him with no possibility of retreat.
One day, he will have to join forces with Ying Zheng to pull it out of this world—
Cut off.
Let the world get back on track.
Let all people go.
"Interesting ideas, and they make me especially nostalgic for them." The First Emperor pondered for a moment, "But look at your current state, do you still need anyone else's help?"
"It is necessary." Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Because in this realm, I am not the strongest."
I still believe in equality.
And also because I have witnessed the power of all living beings.
The First Emperor of the Lostbelt finally realized what was happening and laughed, "Hahaha, so this is it. Is this what caused the difference between us?"
The aloof and powerful First Emperor stood in a position unattainable by anyone. After completing the 'sacred transformation', he rose to become the ruler who judges all things.
However, even if Ying Zheng had completed his transformation into a dragon and unified the Divine Land, he was still not invincible.
There are people who are his equals.
There was a day when I was able to communicate with him.
'Heaven' believes that the fate of all people should be in their own hands.
Therefore, Ying Zheng did not believe that he could decide everything on his own, nor did he believe that he could decide the fate of all people.
He was the emperor, the emperor of all people.
The First Emperor the Lostbelt...
Over the long course of time, he had long since become the emperor of his own self.
This is different.
It is the same existence in the dimension of time that is different, and it is also the difference between the two caused by different experiences, and the difference between the two that are from the same source.
A slight difference can lead to a complete upheaval.
From vastly different to almost completely unfamiliar.
The difference is so great that they seem like two completely different people.
The First Emperor, however, became even more expectant. "You have indeed sealed me off, and I have indeed been unable to leave, but—change has already begun."
"In the history of the Eastern world, the unification of the six kingdoms by the Great Qin Six States is undoubtedly a key point. If it is distorted, it will inevitably become Singularity Point."
"Now, the First Emperor has truly transformed into the ' Ancestral Dragon,' your body is integrated with the Divine Land, and your existence is of the same origin as the mountains and rivers of the Nine Provinces."
"Your existence is already the biggest ' Singularity Point '."
"What are you going to do?"
"What should we do? Isn't this... the obvious choice?!" Ying Li smiled matter-of-factly, looking at Rovi, and said, "Great Qin... no, China, I entrust it to you, the sky of my Great Qin, the sky of my China!"
The ruler of China, who had unified the nine provinces and the land of Yanhuang, bowed respectfully to Rovi.
Behind him, chaos dissipated, countless tentacles evolved, and countless magical treasures were wielded. Rovi looked at the First Emperor, and in that instant, he also knew what the First Emperor wanted to do, but he didn't say anything, but said, "I will."
"Hahaha... With your words, I am relieved!" Ying Lian laughed and raised his head, "Tell me, what should I choose?"
"Isn't my choice a matter of course?!"
Roar, roar, roar!
A tremendous dragon roar echoed, raging through the chaos, and in an instant pierced through the highest heavens of the thirty-six heavens, falling upon the vast mortal realm.
The Immortals and Gods gathered on the 'plate' all lowered their eyes.
At this moment, countless beings in the vast world also gather.
In Xianyang, the capital of Qin, within a prison, someone coughed softly. A young woman in a Han robe raised her face, her eyes filled with disbelief. "This is..."
"Now that you've assassinated the emperor, why hasn't he harmed you?" A person stood before her, whispering, "This year, the Ancestral Dragon will die."
This year, the Ancestral Dragon died... Assassinating the First Emperor was an unforgivable crime, yet Jing Ke Jing Ke still survived, widened his eyes slightly as he pondered these words.
Will the Ancestral Dragon die?
Such a powerful being, unless it desires death, is absolutely indestructible...
Yes, unless He himself wants to die!
In that instant, the chaos dissipated, and Ying Li's enormous dragon shadow slowly descended from the Thirty-Sixth Heaven.
The enormous shadow appeared in the mortal world. From a distance, the dark clouds in the sky looked like countless black scales, surging and rolling. It was the ' Ancestral Dragon ' turning over.
But among the countless tiny fragments, there is one broken corner.
One corner is missing.
That was the 'gap' that Jing Ke had cut, the wound that Jing Ke left on Ying Lu's body.
He deliberately allowed himself to be harmed by Jing Ke.
Because he wanted to use its power and the damage it caused him to complete the final step of his 'dragon transformation'.
From the tangible dragon.
It transformed into an invisible dragon.
From tangible things,
The invisible manifestation of the steps.
"I have unified the Six States and brought the world under one rule. I have built the Great Wall to guard the dragon Dragon Vein of the nine provinces, protect my Great Qin, and safeguard my state."
"I hereby establish this in the name of the First Emperor!"
A tremendous sound then resounded, descending from the heavens.
That was the will of the First Emperor.
That is the philosophy of 'Winning'.
This step was his final step in transforming into a dragon, and it was all he had in mind after obtaining the method of dragon transformation from the First Emperor in the Lostbelt.
He was the First Emperor.
The founding emperor.
The concept of the progenitor is manifested through him, and the existence of the progenitor should also be eternal.
"While I am alive, I shall defend our land and expand our territory, sweep away the barbarians, and establish the foundation for the Great Qin!"
"Even in my death, my body will transform into a dragon's soul, protecting China for eternity!"
"This oath is witnessed by the sun and moon, by heaven and earth, and by immortals, Demon God!"
What he sought was different from what the First Emperor of the Lostbelt sought from beginning to end.
In Lostbelt, the First Emperor sought an eternal reign and a perpetual judgment.
And here is Yingqi.
What we pursue is eternal protection.
Though his body is dead, his will remains. "May my Chinese nation prosper forever!"
He was the First Emperor.
He sought to unify the world, so that from then on, all generations would be his successors, seeking a second and a third generation.
What he sought was that all emperors after him would be 'dragons,' and he would be the Ancestral Dragon—
He is for all people.
He did it for the world.
The Qin dynasty shines brightly, as brightly as the sun and moon!
"Farewell to the First Emperor!"
"Best regards, First Emperor!"
"Farewell to the First Emperor!"
"..."
The people of Qin, Chu, Qi, Yan, Zhao, Wei, Han... all the former states that had been unified, felt a sense of unease.
Former enemy states, today's sworn enemies, and even the Immortals and Gods in the heavens have all responded at this moment.
Just like the grand ambitions that Ying Yi once set forth, which even the immortals in heaven were amazed by.
In that instant, all people worshipped together; at that moment, Immortals and Gods bowed their heads; and even the First Emperor, who came from the Lostbelt, remained silent.
Today, the First Emperor dies.
But on this day...
The great and glorious land of China returns to this place!
Although the First Emperor died, his spirit remained eternally; and because the world was unified, it had already manifested with the Ancestral Dragon and merged into the consciousness of everyone.
Ying Li's transformation is formless.
This is the concept of 'unification'.
"Huaxia, Huaxia, the land of Chinese clothing and etiquette, the beauty of the great Xia Dynasty."
Did you see it?
"The bowing of the thousands is not a sign of submission to being ruled, but a gesture of respect from the heart; the bowing of the thousands is not a sign of oppression, but a choice of their own will."
"These people are the people, they are not your test subjects. This China is China, but it is our China, not your China."
"Although you call yourself the First Emperor."
"But you only have a beginning, not a continuation; you only have one body, not a successor."
So in my opinion—
"You are not worthy of this name!"
Rovi finally looked at the increasingly silent First Emperor of the Lostbelt. He felt a pang of emotion, a mixture of admiration and envy for Ying Li, who had willingly chosen to die and actively sought 'life'.
But he simply struck, causing the unnecessary tentacles to wriggle and coil, the drumbeats echoing in sequence.
He spoke slowly, as if singing softly.
He said, "Today, the First Emperor is born."
"Today, the Ancestral Dragon dies."
