Multiverse: Ragnarok's Beginning - The Hero King's Path

Now, in Bai Yue's field of vision, something like this also appeared.

"Entering the next character. Countdown: 5..."

This character was also about to end.

He just didn't know whether, after jumping into the next character, his consciousness could connect to the artificial human he had built.

There were two bodies in total. One was Xiang Yu, currently in use.

The other was the more advanced Mechanical Holy Body of the First Emperor, but it wasn't finished yet.

So, he fed this question back to the system, wondering if this brain-dead system could answer.

Hmm? Feasible.

Of course, the answer wasn't a simple and straightforward "feasible" given to him. Instead, it mechanically spouted a bunch of seemingly professional jargon, from which he extracted the answer "feasible."

Since it was feasible, then his next character could also operate two bodies simultaneously: one was the body he was currently roleplaying, and the other was the artificial human, Xiang Yu.

At that time, he could use this body to continue building and upgrading the First Emperor's body, while also possibly needing to purge some internal personnel.

Why purge?

Because after entering the next character, a certain amount of time would definitely have to pass. During that period, he would also be offline. Some people in his Parallel World's Qin Empire, after long realizing that he didn't actually exist, would surely begin to harbor ulterior motives.

So, those with ulterior motives would try to dig up his secrets, challenge his authority, test the waters step by step. If they found no reaction from him, they would usurp the Qin Empire.

At that time, after going online, the reactivated Kuaiji Zero Type would bring terror to those people.

He needed to deal with the festering disease that had grown, stabilize the Qin Empire again, and let it continue moving in the direction he desired, accelerating the industrial revolution.

As for the other nation, he wasn't worried about that. Because a contract had been made with the Demon King Berial. As long as the contract wasn't broken, the demons would supervise from behind the scenes, preventing the entire nation from collapsing.

Of course, this contract wasn't permanent either. Berial would rather die than sign a permanent contract. The contract would last until the modern millennium.

During this period, Berial could not break the contract.

So, how many centuries would the next character span?

As for the previous character, to be precise, it was a character before the First Emperor—not King Solomon. This character was between the First Emperor and Solomon.

That character was also an emperor, active from 356 BC to 323 BC.

Over here, Brunhilde had finally arrived in the era of the Qin Dynasty.

Chapter 043: Xianyang, the First Emperor!

She didn't know what the Hegemon King had done to her, only that in an instant, her vision twisted, and the scenery around her became a bizarre, chaotic blur.

That image was like countless films mixed together, rapidly rewinding, with no traceable pattern at all.

The speed was so fast that she could barely remember anyone's face; they flashed by in an instant.

And this phenomenon felt like it lasted quite a while, yet also like the blink of an eye.

Just as she blinked, the surrounding scenery suddenly vanished like a mirage.

She, who should have been on the banks of the Wujiang River, now found herself on a wide avenue.

Her pupils contracted slightly. She saw, not far ahead across a broad square, a massive city wall and gate tower, and also saw ancient soldiers holding weapons standing guard and patrolling.

Through the unclosed gate, she could see buildings inside that were very different from those outside—a majestic complex, the palace of an emperor.

At this, Brunhilde recognized what palace this was.

"Xianyang Palace"—that was the imperial palace before her eyes, the palace where the First Emperor held court.

But right now, she couldn't afford to care about which time she had been transported to. There was something more important.

To avoid being detained by Xiang Yu, her gentle and beautiful sister had voluntarily stayed behind to become Xiang Yu's woman. This made Brunhilde anxious.

"Lantigreese?"

"Ah? I'm here, sister!"

Just as she anxiously called out to Lantigreese, she got a response, which made Brunhilde freeze for a moment.

Lantigreese was right beside her, slightly behind, also wearing a confused expression.

Was it an illusion?

Brunhilde directly stepped forward and hugged her, able to feel the real limbs.

"I wasn't left behind?"

Lantigreese murmured in confusion.

Wasn't she supposed to be left behind? How did she get teleported away too?

Of course, Brunhilde was also confused, but her expression immediately changed. She sensed a mark inside her body.

When sending the sisters away, she seemed to have seen Lantigreese also get hit.

"Lantigreese, do you sense a mark inside your body?"

"Ah? Let me see... I see it."

So, what was that mark for? Lantigreese felt a bit uneasy too.

Can it be removed?

"It's best not to remove this mark. It's your identity marker for entering this era's Great Qin. Without it, you'll be judged as enemies, and the result..."

The voice of the Western Chu Hegemon King rang out in their minds.

Was he still observing them through some means? Having a real-time conversation?

No, this was a message left within the mark.

And just as the message cut off mid-sentence, the two sisters were stunned by a sudden anomaly.

Two beams of golden light instantly fell from the sky into Xianyang City. Were those gods? Eastern gods?

They seemed to be gods from the nearby Far Eastern Island Nation.

The next second, these two newly arrived gods were attacked. Countless branches emerged from the void, like vines, binding them instantly before they could react.

Then, the two visibly aged at a rapid pace. Were their Divine Power and life force being absorbed?

They struggled to break free, but couldn't. In the blink of an eye, they were pulled into the void and vanished.

"That's the result."

The paused message finally played out now.

So, if the two sisters didn't have this identity mark, would they also be attacked by those eerie branches instantly?

As they were being pulled into the void, the two vaguely glimpsed a massive tree.

"Sister, that's..."

"It looks like the World Tree."

Even though they only caught a glimpse, it left the Valkyrie sisters deeply shaken.

In a daze, it felt as if they were facing the World Tree itself.

So, the two were also perplexed. Was such a mysterious, colossal tree guarding Xianyang?

That was something no human could possess. Was this the protection of the Eastern Immortal Realm's gods?

Brunhilde knew that during this era, the Eastern Immortal Realm and the gods of other mythological pantheons were in a state of non-interaction. They would mercilessly strike down any god from another mythology who crossed the boundary. She hadn't expected it to be true.

So, back to one question: Didn't Xiang Yu say he wanted to keep Lantigreese?

Maybe he was just messing with them, that bastard!!!

"This bastard!"

Brunhilde couldn't help but curse.

Seeing this, Lantigreese paused for a moment, then roughly understood why her sister was swearing, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

Lantigreese also thought that Lord Xiang Yu was just teasing them, not that he had actually done anything to them.

Now, remembering how he said he wanted her to become his Yu Meiren, her chest couldn't help but pound a little harder.

Then, the sisters pulled themselves together and carefully observed their surroundings. Xianyang City was filled with a very serious yet excited atmosphere.

Normally, the main road outside the Emperor's palace would be bustling with vendors and hawkers, but today, it seemed all business had stopped.

So, the main road should be quiet today, right?

Quite the opposite. Now, both sides of the road were packed with people. Countless citizens were staring at Xianyang Palace with excited eyes.

"Sister, the ground."

"The ground?"

Lantigreese suddenly looked at the ground in surprise, signaling her sister to look. What was wrong with the ground?

Brunhilde looked at the ground. It was a road paved with stone slabs. Nothing—

No, Brunhilde saw it. This road, paved with flat stone slabs, was too perfectly uniform.

If this were a road paved with modern techniques, it wouldn't be strange. But the problem was that this road was paved two thousand years ago, which was utterly baffling.

Looking at each stone slab, they were almost exactly the same size, as if cut and polished with modern tools.

Looking closely at the walls of Xianyang Palace, they were also built with extraordinary precision.

Suddenly, the noisy crowd quieted down a little. The reason was that a troop of Black-Armored Soldiers was marching out from the main gate of Xianyang Palace.

Each Black-Armored Soldier exuded a murderous aura, marching in neat, powerful steps.

They also saw a luxurious carriage flanked by the Black-Armored Soldiers. Sitting on it was a figure wearing a Gold-Embroidered Black Robe.

This figure radiated an overwhelming presence, making it impossible to look directly at him.

There was no mistaking it. This figure was the master of the Great Qin Dynasty—the First Emperor, Ying Zheng.

As if sensing the sisters' gaze, the First Emperor's eyes shot over. That gaze seemed to contain a tangible, murderous intent.

At that moment, the two sisters felt like rabbits being stared down by a beast king. Their bodies stiffened, and they dared not move an inch.

Chapter 044: Stirrings Beneath the Military Parade Spectacle?

Brunhilde and Lantigreese were both tense.

Was it pure coincidence that the First Emperor looked this way?

Or had he truly noticed the two sisters?

Because of the beaded curtain, they couldn't clearly see his eyes, and thus couldn't determine whether he was looking at them.

No, that wasn't right—he had likely indeed detected their presence.

More accurately, it wasn't detection; he had directly seen them.

The Western Chu Hegemon King, Xiang Yu, had been able to perceive them, and the Great Qin Emperor he served was surely an even more terrifying figure, one capable of making Xiang Yu submit.

Thus, the First Emperor would certainly take note of the two of them as well.

And while the Western Chu Hegemon King had also given them a sense of terrifying pressure, his personality seemed bold and domineering.

But the First Emperor before them, though also domineering, possessed a different kind of tyranny from the Western Chu Hegemon King's brute-force Military Strength—it was a cunning, all-encompassing tyranny that reigned over heaven and earth.

They were now like rabbits caught in the gaze of the King of Beasts, not daring to make a rash move, lest a single misstep instantly cost them their lives.

In a daze, Brunhilde felt as if she were facing Sovereign Odin, stirring a sense of fear deep within her heart.

It was this kind of suffocating pressure that made Brunhilde instinctively lower her head in fear, nearly unable to stop herself from dropping to one knee in submission.

Beside her, Lantigreese was much the same; cold sweat trickled down her fair, smooth face, and her breath had stopped entirely.

The next moment, forcing herself to move, Brunhilde grabbed Lantigreese and stepped to the side.

The two of them had been standing right in the middle of the main road. The Black-Armored Soldiers couldn't see them and would simply pass through, but the First Emperor, radiating that terrifying aura, could see them clearly.

If they rudely blocked his path, wouldn't that be an affront to his majesty?

Thus, the two moved to the side, watching as the Dragon Carriage was about to roll past before their eyes.
