As the netizens argued heatedly, Su Qi floated in the air, silently watching a pale green projection screen.

A live broadcast appeared on the screen, and the netizens' comments entered his view as well.

Su Qi discovered that, unlike movies uploaded afterward, Live Broadcast Mode actually came with an Origin Net projection screen.

"What was this called? Watching myself watch myself?" Su Qi said, the corner of his mouth twitching.

After feeling speechless for a moment, he turned his attention to the netizens' comments.

Seeing them lament Qin Shi Huang, he could not help shaking his head.

Glancing at Qin Shi Huang, who was kneeling behind a low table in the distance with faint unease on his face, he said, "What a pity..."

If this had been real time travel, he might not have minded pretending to be an immortal or a god and having a chat with him. But in his current state, and with the broadcast ongoing, he clearly could not communicate with him.

So he felt somewhat regretful. This emperor of the ages probably did not have many years left to live. If he missed this chance, they likely would never meet again.

"Only I can come into direct contact with him here, but I can't..."

Suddenly, a notification sound meant for him alone rang out.

Seeing the First Emperor, you felt regretful. You regretted being unable to speak with him. But after your regret, following some research, you discovered that you could select a viewer and project them into the Simulation World, allowing them to participate in the simulation...

Su Qi: "..."

The corner of his mouth twitched, and he felt speechless.

This damned narrator!

Still, what the narrator had said was rather interesting.

"Select a viewer and project them in?" Su Qi raised an eyebrow.

Normally, he naturally would not consider letting some random viewer enter and cause trouble. But with this rare opportunity, he could give it a try.

Otherwise, it would be a pity to simply miss this First Emperor.

"Mm, then I'll let a viewer communicate with him in my place."

Having made up his mind, Su Qi tentatively said to the system, "Randomly select a Huaxia citizen from the livestream and project him into the residence—mm, in front of Ying Zheng."

After saying that, he was not entirely sure whether it could be done.

But at that moment, he suddenly noticed a new development on the Origin Net projection beside him.

As they watched Qin Shi Huang's hesitant, uncertain, and uneasy expression, the netizens who had been regretting, unwilling, and sighing over being unable to comfort him all froze at once.

On the screen, a black pop-up box suddenly appeared, with several lines of white text.

Do you feel regretful? Do you wish to meet the First Emperor? Do you wish to cross a thousand years of time and meet him? Click to enter the draw Yes, No

As the box and its white text appeared, the netizens were initially stunned. But after carefully reading its meaning and letting their imaginations run wild, gasps rang out across the world in an instant.

Meet the First Emperor?

Travel through a thousand years of time?

At that moment, countless people rubbed their eyes, wanting to make sure they had not misread it—or imagined the wrong thing.

Soon, cautious comments began appearing one after another.

"Holy shit, am I misunderstanding this?"

"Same. I think I'm overthinking it. Time travel? What the hell?"

"Is this real?"

They could not believe it, and shock filled their faces.

Traveling through a thousand years of time—how could that possibly be done?

Countless people found it unbelievable.

At the Prehistoric Ruins site, Professor Chen, who was holding a cup and drinking hot water, suddenly sprayed a mouthful across the surface of the laptop in front of him.

His face was filled with shock.

In the USA, Korea...

The higher-ups of various countries, along with the elites they had summoned with paper and pens or computers in hand, ready to record everything at any moment, all froze.

"Travel through time?"

"This is...!"

After their shock and wild speculation, countless people's hearts began pounding at the sight of the drawing option.

Who did not dream of time travel?

Especially traveling to the Qin Dynasty and meeting that First Emperor?

After hesitating for a moment, countless people clicked "Yes" without another thought.

They had no choice but to act quickly. A line of white text showing a three-minute countdown had appeared. Time was pressing, and if they missed it, there would be no second chance.

However, after excitedly clicking "Yes," some clever people suddenly noticed something was wrong.

Panicked comments appeared one after another.

"Wait, what if someone really travels to the past and changes history?"

"The butterfly effect? Could we disappear because of some tiny change?"

Hiss...

As those comments appeared, countless people became terrified after thinking it through. Some even regretted clicking yes.

If someone really traveled a thousand years into the past and changed it, would human society undergo drastic changes as well?

Some people might even be erased, vanishing without a trace!

Thinking of those terrifying possibilities, countless people shuddered.

Professor Chen at the Prehistoric Ruins, along with the higher-ups of every country, all wore grave expressions.

Yet even if they wanted to say something, do something, or warn the person traveling to the past not to mess around, it was already too late. The three-minute countdown was about to reach zero!

During the final seconds, countless people frantically posted comments.

"Lucky traveler, don't change history!"

"Help, don't do anything unnecessary! We'll disappear!"

"Boss, please show mercy..."

Countless netizens began trying to save themselves, hoping to make the person about to travel understand how serious it was to alter the past and not do anything reckless.

But very soon, the black box vanished!

Was it too late?

At that moment, countless people began praying, hoping the person who had traveled to the past would not act recklessly and that he had seen everyone's final warnings.

Then, not long afterward, billions of people saw a sudden change appear not far in front of Qin Shi Huang in the brightly lit hall!

A faintly illusory, translucent projection appeared there.

It was a young man who looked around twenty years old, with short hair, a youthful and handsome face, a white short-sleeved shirt, and black shorts.

He was slightly dazed when he first appeared, but once he saw his surroundings clearly, he immediately became excited. Even the projection's face flushed red.

"Who are you?!" Ying Zheng stared in shock at the young man before him, dressed in strange clothing with bizarre short hair.

Luo Xiaobai stared at Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, his face filled with shock.

He shouted excitedly, "Brother Zheng? Brother Zheng! Is that really you? Hahaha!"

The moment Luo Xiaobai spoke, the hearts of countless netizens skipped a beat.

Seeing his flushed face and fanatical gaze, he looked exactly like an obsessed fan...

This was bad!

Oh no!

They were finished!

Similar thoughts echoed through countless minds at that moment.
