End of Volume: Red Emperor and White Emperor

"You rascal, you've become Houtu instead of the Lord of Mount Tai!"

At Mount Li, amidst the fluttering of her black robes, Yu Ji gazed at the golden-haired figure before her.

"Yes, so what?" Ereshkigal looked at her opponent and said, "You've already taken the lead—"

"That's right," Yu Ji said smugly. "No matter what, you've already lost!?"

"But I won't give up, even if it's just on this land." Ereshkigal grinned, her lips curving upwards.

"Hmph, whatever, I'm leaving now!" Yu Ji waved her hand and turned to leave Mount Li.

This is the seventh day since Rovi entered the Sea of Void.

Although Yu Ji was already the Queen of Heaven, Yu Ji did not go to the Heavenly Realm after that, because the person she wanted to see was not in the Heavenly Court. So she preferred to wait for him to return on this land, and she believed that Rovi would definitely return.

So she walked across this land.

Thus she saw that the world had fallen apart once again after the emperor was gone.

That year, the First Emperor died.

The world has collapsed.

'Records of the Grand Historian'

Without the First Emperor, the Great Qin lost its strongest swordsman and the power to suppress the remaining forces of the Kingdom of Judah, which was acting to restore its kingdom.

The uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang at Dazexiang; Xiang Yan, a descendant of Xiang Liang, Xiang Yan of Chu State, stealing a golden statue from the First Emperor's treasury and naming it ' Xiang Yu '; Liu Bang, Son of the Red Emperor, slaying a white snake and starting a rebellion...

Before the Qin dynasty fell, there were still great generals like Meng Tian guarding the border.

Soon the world was in great chaos.

In this process, Yu Ji traversed countless mountains and witnessed countless wars, waiting in this mortal world...

"Hiss!"

"General Xiang Yu, there seem to be people ahead!"

In the early morning, shrouded in mist, the soldiers reported to their mounted general, who remained silent and simply stood before them.

Amidst the mist, Yu Ji watched the approaching horde of people in the distance. In the past, she would have left immediately without making contact with anyone.

But at this moment, seeing the approaching figure, Yu Ji suddenly stopped in her tracks.

For no other reason than...

Only for those who are close to her...

The figure was tall and covered in "armor," or rather, it was a mechanical "human" made of steel.

A Jin dynasty figure? Xiang Yu?

No--

"Is this a magical artifact made from Rovi's shadow?" Yu Ji was stunned.

The Ten Golden Men were created by the First Emperor in imitation of the existence of Rovi's, which is equivalent to a magical Noble Phantasm formed from his own Projection.

... After all, without Rovi's permission, the First Emperor could not have created them. Creating them was also to uphold Rovi's's will and restore the world to unity.

At that moment, Yu Ji smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then let me help you, Rovi!"

She reached out and touched the machine Machine God in front of her.

Then the Machine God automatically dispersed and covered Yu Ji's body.

She and Rovi were always together.

She could also feel Rovi's's aura, which had indeed landed on her.

Rovi is looking at himself.

"I will be the one to unify the world!"

"Using only the power of this magical artifact... I've given that guy quite a surprise!"

Yu Ji, hidden inside her armor, revealed a face that showed eagerness.

It was after this that rumors began to circulate that the supposedly selfless "Xiang Yu" gradually gained "consciousness." He was described as having a volatile temper and being extremely prone to acting impulsively, yet he still relied on his immense power to establish the Chu State, claiming the titles of "Hegemon-King of Western Chu" and "Son of the Son of the White Emperor."

He opposed Liu Bang, the Son of the Red Emperor, who had consolidated the old power of the Qin state, gained the support of the Qin people, and established the Qin-Han dynasty.

In the Chu-Han Contention, the Son of the White Emperor and the Son of the Red Emperor clashed. The Han general emerged victorious, and the Chu overlord vanished at the Wujiang, departing with his beloved Yu Ji.

"However, some unofficial histories point out that there was no such person as Yu Ji in history, or perhaps Yu Ji was Xiang Yu himself."

"A Study of Unofficial History: The Different Version of Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu"

That is, at the same time.

Heaven.

"Don't let that demonic monkey in!"

"Stop her! Stop her!"

Where are the heavenly soldiers and generals?!

The stone monkey wielded his mighty cudgel, unleashing a violent force, and crashed into the Heavenly Court Lingxiao Palace.

Sun Wukong.

This is her name.

Now, she also has a new title...

' The Great Sage Equal to Heaven '.

He wanted to fight against the demons in the sky, and he wanted to fight against the Heavenly Emperor and other demons and great saints.

She gathered Seven Great Demon Sages in the East Sea and rose up against the heavens. She fought against 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals on her own, and even the great god Nezha of the Great God of the Three Altars was defeated by her.

She fought madly against the heavens.

Now, they have even directly barged into the Heavenly Court.

None of the gods dared to challenge them. The powerful and ancient Ancestral Gods of the Three Altars and the Seas would not intervene out of respect for the Heavenly Emperor. As for the remaining Immortals and Gods of the Three Altars and the Seas, even the Great God of the Three Altars could not withstand their onslaught and was defeated.

She brandished her magic staff and charged forward relentlessly.

The Great Sage Tian, one of the Seven Great Sages, once asked her why she was so determined to resist Heaven.

Faced with the silver-haired, golden-eyed Bull Demon King, who manifested as a tall, slender woman, Sun Wukong's answer was...

She only wanted to be equal to the heavens.

What if we go and never return?

Then let's go and never leave!

And on this day.

She finally broke into this place.

Ahead lies the Lingxiao Palace, the abode of the Heavenly Emperor.

She arrived at the gate of the Lingxiao Palace and looked inside, where immortals gathered, but all she saw were shadowy figures, vague and indistinct.

Immortals gathered, but the position of Heavenly Emperor remained vacant.

Heaven is no more.

How will the Great Sage Equal to Heaven in the world?

"Then I'll smash this place—force the heavens and Master Shi out!" The girl swung her golden Golden Cudgel, her orange-red short hair billowing in the wind.

At that very moment, a brilliant golden light appeared, and a voice rang out. "Why be so agitated?"

Suddenly, the celestial dome burst forth with light, and a massive rotating wheel appeared in the air. That wheel had seven large wheels and seven small wheels in each wheel, nested in layers, and as it rotated, it seemed to bring about the rotation of the entire universe.

He is the ' Wheel-Turning Sage King '.

The Buddha is from the West.

The Enlightened One, Shakyamuni.

On the other side, Lovi, who was deep in the Sea of Imaginary Numbers and pursuing the First Emperor of the Lostbelt Rovi, stopped in his tracks.

After a moment of buzzing and a moment of roaring, the Core of Chaos, the Machine God Rovi, the Primordial Human, and the enormous 'Epang Afang Palace ' appeared together in the Sea of Imaginary Numbers with and without interlayers.

"Ha ha ha, such power, such a physique—"

"Interesting, this is really interesting."

"This world's Heavenly Emperor!"

Amidst the vast Sea of Void, the First Emperor's joyful laughter echoed throughout the land.

His suspended, enormous palace-like body slowly unfolded two wing-like ribbons of light, which continuously combined and extended. At first glance, they looked like two ribbons suspended above a crown, but upon closer inspection, they were actually two floating 'walls'.

The Great Wall, which was built by the First Emperor to protect the territory of China, has long since been transformed into a satellite orbiting a Star Body under the rule of this Lostbelt Emperor over the long span of two thousand years.

Its posture is to circle the ground once.

Its field of vision can cover the entire world.

But the First Emperor merely displayed it and enveloped himself in it, transforming it into a protective 'canopy' to shield him from all impacts.

He gazed at Rovi opposite him and said, "I do not wish to be your enemy, Heavenly Emperor."

He truly did not want to be enemies with Rovi.

Not only is Rovi's power something He absolutely cannot defeat, but Rovi's's very existence excites Him.

Without His help, Rovi himself can create Singularity Point and Lostbelt, but he can also manipulate and integrate the parts of Singularity Point and Lostbelt that need to be repaired and fixed into Human Order, allowing them to continue.

This quality, or rather, this level of understanding of Human Order, was something that the First Emperor lacked.

The First Emperor was unaware that this was the observer's perspective held by Rovi, who had once been a true outsider of the Nasuverse Realm. He was also unaware that the reason he couldn't see Human Order was because he was always within the Realm, while Rovi had been outside the Realm, thus being able to observe the entire territory.

The First Emperor was unaware of this and did not care.

He only wanted to work with Rovi.

Instead of engaging in a life-or-death struggle with them.

Therefore, He allowed Rovi to pull him into the Sea of Imaginary Numbers, and at this moment, He did not retaliate in the slightest.

The Sea of Imaginary Numbers is boundless.

The vast, nameless chaos converged within its body, and the magnificent machine held the ' Enuma Elish in one hand and a golden, dazzling spear in the other. The Projection ' Rhongomyniad ', whose power was indistinguishable from its original form, appeared. It was as if it was wearing a cloak of misty shells, and countless writhing tentacles were like thousands of hands, wielding countless Immortals and Gods Noble Phantasm.

A chaotic, crimson storm swirled around them.

Rovi's, in his ' Primordial Human ' form, sat upright in the very center of the machine, his heart shimmering like a furnace.

He sat upright and dignified, his posture like that of an Heavenly Manifestation.

This is a fusion of many aspects, including the original humans created by the Sage of Uruk, the god-kings and Machine God created by the Greek Hero Mentor, the Wild Hunt from Huaxia Mythology Norse Mythology, and the ' Emperor Dong Hua ', 'Taiyi', and 'Tian' from Chinese mythology.

Every identity has returned to its origin.

The numbers overlap, yet the original state remains unchanged.

Among beings of this scale, whose power covers the entire Earth, it is already considered one of the most powerful.

Compared to Tiamat, which existed since the beginning of the planet's environment and has survived for billions of years, it is even a level above.

Of course, even so, Rovi knew that he had no way to completely eliminate the First Emperor in front of him.

Let alone eliminating them, it would be difficult to even completely defeat them.

Because reaching the primordial stage is already the largest scale that a planet can reach.

There is a difference between the original and the original.

But the difference has never been significant.

Unless Rovi can take another step forward, vaguely break free from the constraints, and reach the primordial limit—the level of the creation of heaven and earth, the level of the Star-making God.

Only then can everything be stabilized and suppressed from its original state.

He cannot.

Therefore, after listening to the First Emperor's words, Rovi stopped taking action.

He said, "Although I cannot kill you, I can trap you—a hundred million years is not much, ten thousand years is not little."

"What's the need?" The First Emperor frowned.

Rovi said seriously, "It's very necessary."

"Because someone like you is a threat at any time."

"Hahaha, I'll take that as a compliment!" The First Emperor stood before the ' Afang Palace ' statue, grinning, and said, "Indeed, my words are never empty rhetoric."

"In terms of combat and creation, I am inferior to you, but when it comes to tracing back to the source, I believe I am second to none!"

"If you are willing to cooperate with me and find ways to continue the Human Order, then I can give you this massive database of Human Order information that has been accumulated for more than two thousand years."

"And I will never set foot in your wicked world again."

"Unless you allow it—"

The First Emperor spoke with a carefree and unrestrained air, "You need not be surprised. Just as another 'I' said... I am no longer a pure emperor."

Guardian, Judge, Sage, Ruler of All Things...

Lostbelt: The First Emperor was no longer a pure emperor long ago.

This is an obvious fact.

Therefore, compared to Ying Zheng, he appeared more carefree, lacking the grandeur and domineering presence, but possessing more rationality.

"However, I still retain the title and the reality of the emperor."

"Therefore, what I have said is by no means false!"

"Is that so..." Rovi flicked his sleeve, genuinely somewhat tempted by the words of the First Emperor of the Lostbelt before him.

The massive amount of Human Order information is sufficient to greatly expand the computing power of his body.

And to be honest, what he just said was just a threat.

Rovi didn't have the patience to suppress the First Emperor of the Lostbelt for billions of years in the Sea of Imaginary Numbers.

There's no patience, and there's no need for it.

"Have you forgotten something?"

"The First Emperor of Lostbelt"

"I cannot kill you, nor can I destroy you. Is this 'you' still 'you'?"

Rovi sat in the heart of the Machine God, and he... smiled.

The First Emperor of Lostbelt was stunned.

The humanoid First Emperor opened his mouth... and then a series of inexplicable and noisy sounds followed.

A burst of chaotic and disordered 'words'.

'Personality has been invaded and is disordered; disorder is defined as a 'virus'—detecting the source code, disorder is defined as an 'update'... disorder, disorder...'

A sound like a machine short-circuiting rang out.

At this moment,

The First Emperor, now in human form, finally revealed a look of astonishment.

He suddenly raised his head.

He looked behind him and above him at the Epang Afang Palace.

Watching the lights flicker and fade amidst the chaotic sounds...

The sound of a worm was heard again.

"It's a success—although it's still far from your ' Machine God ' description, it's barely enough."

"Your Ying Zheng, you should be content with what you have."

"That's true."

"Speaking of the Qin state, doesn't it exist? Aren't you concerned?" There's no need to think about it; according to their plan, the fate of Qin is inevitable.

The First Emperor appeared remarkably carefree. "How can there be an eternal dynasty in this world? As long as the things I leave behind can endure, that is enough."

A back-and-forth dialogue.

However, it is completely different from the communication between the two.

"So... there's this trick too?" The humanoid Lostbelt First Emperor opened his mouth. Having lived for over two thousand years and considering himself knowledgeable, he had never seen anything like this before.

His true form and sacred body were stolen.

He, as the 'source' of the First Emperor, was covered up.

The one who did this was undoubtedly Ying Zheng, who had just merged with the Nine Provinces and transformed into the immortal dragon soul.

And the person who prompted this behavior was Rovi.

He is always manifesting the nameless mist.

Ying Zheng is now dead, but his soul is immortal, though formless and intangible. If he were to leave the present world, he could manifest again.

"This is also my purpose: to use the chaotic, nameless mist to carry the immortal dragon soul of our First Emperor of the Realm, enter the Sea of Imaginary Numbers, and then, with the flowing mist, imperceptibly, taint your holy body, occupying your position as the source of the First Emperor the Lostbelt."

"Now, I don't need to kill you or imprison you anymore."

"Because that's completely unnecessary!"

This is the best way to fundamentally solve the problem.

The best way.

"Hahaha..." Ying Zheng, controlling his holy body, laughed loudly, "This is what you taught me, another 'I'..."

The Lostbelt First Emperor did indeed teach Ying Zheng.

He told him he could steal the Rovi's machine, not that he himself could.

"From now on, I will always stand here and protect the land of China!"

The last proverb.

That is indeed the case.

Over there, the First Emperor's humanoid terminal in the Lostbelt pondered for a moment, "Never mind... Anyway, it's all me, so it doesn't matter."

"From now on, we will take you as our 'original form'!" He said casually in an instant.

Free-spirited.

In a way, it's like wanting something but not being able to have it.

after all...

The First Emperor of the Lostbelt created countless bodies, which traveled between various Lostbelts.

Although the Holy Body is the key point.

No longer acting as emperors, they truly need a pure, 'emperor' of their own to take charge.

It's all about myself.

It's not that we should be too resistant to it.

"In return, I'll give you this massive amount of information!"

They occupied the sacred body of the First Emperor.

A tiny glimmer of light flashed, transforming into a crystal that fell into Rovi's's palm.

He took it and smiled.

"Then I should leave too."

"Go—my friend, my comrade-in-arms."

"Comrades-in-arms? What a cheap term."

"Having shared a drink and fought together, doesn't that make us comrades-in-arms?"

"Too."

"Hahaha..."

Finally, laughter echoed in the Sea of Imaginary Numbers.

Rovi left the Sea of Imaginary Numbers.

It has returned to the present.

They returned to the ground.

The human world is vast and boundless; having fallen into the Sea of Void for only a short moment, a great deal of time has already passed.

At the time of the transition between the two Han dynasties, Wang Mang usurped the throne.

Liu Xiu, a collateral relative of the Han imperial family, led troops to attack Wang Mang, but was trapped in Kunyang by an army of 400,000.

"At night, a meteor fell into the camp; during the day, a cloud resembling a collapsing mountain appeared, falling right before the camp but not reaching the ground. The officers and soldiers were all terrified and subdued."

Liu Xiu decisively defeated the enemy army and, at Yushan, climbed the mountain to worship 'Taiyi'.
