Welcome the First Emperor Back to Life

Beneath the blazing sun, an endless sea of sand stretched to the horizon.

In Ning Province, China, at a stretch of the Great Wall that had nearly weathered away, this barren, arid desert had once been desolate and sparsely populated. Now, however, it had become a bustling construction site.

Sand billowed across the site as hundreds of NS-5 robots wielded shovels and got to work the old-fashioned way.

Half-buried in the shifting sands was a massive stone head with sharp features and a war helmet, already dug free.

Not far away, Hao Shuai lounged in a deck chair beneath a large sun umbrella. A chilled Coke sat beside him as he leisurely read the wooden slips in his hands.

It was Hao Shuai's fifth day here, and the robots had been digging through sand for five days straight.

After leaving Shangri-La, Hao Shuai had followed Ziyuan's memories to the First Emperor's tomb and begun excavating it.

It wasn't that Hao Shuai hadn't considered using heavy machinery to speed things up. But Red Queen had said it would be difficult to control where the machinery applied pressure, and it might cause the tomb to collapse.

Fortunately, Hao Shuai had no shortage of labor. He simply sent out hundreds of NS-5 robots to dig through the sand.

"Boss, we found the entrance!"

As time went on, the excavation finally made progress. Red Queen, who was supervising the work, eagerly reported the news to Hao Shuai.

At Red Queen's report, Hao Shuai, who had been growing impatient, immediately followed her to the entrance of the imperial mausoleum.

Two crossbeams lay buried deep beneath the sand, leaving an opening wide enough for three people to pass through at once. It was dark and deep, very much like the entrance to an Underground Palace.
