As the netizens hotly debated, Su Qi floated in the air, silently watching a projected pale green screen.

At this moment, the live broadcast appeared on the screen, and he could see the comments from the netizens.

Su Qi noticed that unlike movies uploaded after the fact, the Live Broadcast Mode actually came with Origin Net's projection screen.

"What is this called? Me watching myself?" Su Qi's mouth twitched.

After being slightly speechless, he shifted his attention to the netizens' comments.

Seeing them lament Qin Shi Huang's fate, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Glancing at Qin Shi Huang, who was kneeling behind a low table with an uneasy expression, he said, "What a shame..."

If this were real time travel, he might not have minded pretending to be an immortal or a god and chatting with him, but his current state, and being on a live broadcast, clearly prevented any interaction.

Therefore, he felt a bit regretful. This emperor, who had lived through a thousand years, probably didn't have many years left. If he missed this opportunity, he likely wouldn't see him again.

"Only I can directly interact with him here, but I can't..."

Suddenly, a personal notification sound echoed.

[Seeing the First Emperor, you feel regret, regretting the inability to communicate. However, after your regret, following your research, you discover you can actually select viewers and project them into the deduction world, allowing them to participate in the deduction...]

Su Qi: "..."

His mouth twitched, and he felt a bit speechless.

This damned narration!

However, what the narration implied was quite interesting.

"Select viewers to project?" Su Qi raised an eyebrow.

Normally, he wouldn't consider letting random viewers come in and mess things up, but this rare opportunity was worth a try.

Otherwise, it would be a shame to miss out on the First Emperor like this.

"Alright, then I'll have a viewer interact with him on my behalf."

With that thought, Su Qi tentatively spoke to the system, "Randomly select a Chinese person from the live stream, project him into the mansion, right, in front of Ying Zheng."

After saying it, he wasn't entirely sure if it was possible.

But just then, he suddenly noticed a new development on the Origin Net projection screen beside him.

Seeing Qin Shi Huang's hesitant, uncertain, and uneasy expression, the netizens who felt regret, unwillingness, and sighed for not being able to comfort Qin Shi Huang suddenly froze.

On the screen that was playing, a black pop-up box suddenly appeared with a few lines of white text.

[Do you feel regret?]

[Do you wish to meet the First Emperor?]

[Do you wish to travel through a thousand years of time and meet him?]

[Click to enter the lottery]

[Yes, No]

Following the appearance of this box and the white text, the netizens were first stunned for a moment. After carefully reading the meaning of the text and fully connecting the dots, countless gasps of cold air erupted around the world.

Meet the First Emperor?

Travel through a thousand years of time?

At this moment, countless people rubbed their eyes, wanting to confirm they hadn't misread, or perhaps were overthinking it.

Soon, cautious comments began to appear.

"Holy crap, I hope I'm not misunderstanding this."

"Same here, I suspect I'm overthinking it. Time travel? Damn!"

"Is this real?"

They couldn't believe it, their faces showing shock.

Traveling through a thousand years of time, how was that possible?

Countless people were in disbelief.

At the prehistoric ruins site, Professor Chen, who was holding a cup and drinking water, suddenly spat out a mouthful of water, splashing his laptop screen.

He looked shocked.

In the USA, Korea...

High-ranking officials from various countries, along with the elites they had summoned, holding paper and pens, or laptops, ready to record things at any moment, were all stunned.

"Time travel?"

"This is!"

Countless people, after their shock and speculation, were instantly captivated by the lottery option.

Who didn't have a dream of time travel?

What's more, to actually travel to the Qin Dynasty and meet that First Emperor?

At this moment, after countless people hesitated, they clicked 'Yes' without a second thought.

There was no other way, they had to act fast. A line of white text appeared, counting down three minutes. Time was urgent, and if they missed it, there would be no second chance.

However, after excitedly clicking 'Yes', some clever individuals suddenly noticed something was wrong.

Panicked comments began to flood in.

"Wait, if someone among us really travels to the past, what if they change history?"

"The butterfly effect? Will we just disappear because of a small change?"

Hiss...

As these comments appeared, countless people felt a chilling fear. Some even regretted clicking 'Yes'.

If they really traveled back a thousand years, and the past changed, wouldn't human society also be drastically altered?

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

Thinking about these terrifying scenarios sent shivers down countless spines.

Professor Chen of the Prehistoric Ruins, along with high-ranking officials from various countries, all wore solemn expressions at this moment.

However, even if they wanted to speak up, to do something, or to warn the person who traveled to the past not to mess around, it was already too late. The countdown from three minutes was about to hit zero!

In the final seconds, countless people desperately posted their messages.

"Lucky traveler, please don't change history!"

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

"Big boss, please show mercy..."

Countless netizens began a desperate plea, attempting to make the person about to travel know the severity of altering the past and the need to refrain from doing anything rash.

However, the black box quickly disappeared!

Was it too late?

At this moment, countless people began to pray, hoping that the person who traveled wouldn't act recklessly, hoping he had seen their last-minute warnings.

Then, not long after, billions of people witnessed a disturbance in the brightly lit hall, not far in front of Qin Shi Huang!

A slightly ethereal and transparent projection appeared there.

It was a young man, about twenty years old, with short hair, a youthful and delicate face, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and black shorts.

He seemed a bit dazed upon appearing, but after taking in his surroundings, he immediately became excited, his projected face flushing red.

"Who are you?!" Ying Zheng stared in shock at the youth in strange clothing and peculiar short hair before him.

Luo Xiaobai looked at Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, his face full of awe.

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

As soon as Luo Xiaobai spoke, a collective jolt went through the hearts of many netizens.

Looking at his flushed face and fervent eyes, he was the picture of a fanboy...

This is bad!

We're in trouble!

It's over!

Similar thoughts echoed in the minds of countless people at that moment.
