The One He Hated Most Was a Self-Righteous Bitch Like Ziyuan!

"I'm furious! How dare these barbarians bully China? I will lead my armies west and crush them!" the First Emperor roared.

After a moment, the First Emperor gradually calmed down. Still seething, he turned to Hao Shuai and demanded, "I can sense that you possess a powerful Emperor's Ki. You must have been an emperor yourself. And your strength is so great that even I cannot fathom it. Why did you stand by while our land of China fell into such decline?"

Hao Shuai had wondered why the First Emperor was so angry with him. Now he understood. He explained, "For certain reasons, I only just appeared in this world myself."

"Then I wrongly blamed you," the First Emperor said apologetically. He assumed Hao Shuai had also been sealed away for some reason and had only recently been freed.

"There's no need to apologize, First Emperor," Hao Shuai said. "I came here specifically to bring Your Majesty back to life. I hope you can restore our realm, rebuild China, and help it stand once more at the pinnacle of the world."

"You mean you want me to unify the world?" Hao Shuai's words made the First Emperor frown in puzzlement. "With your strength, why not unify it yourself?"

"That's not what I seek, and I'll be leaving this place before long," Hao Shuai explained sincerely. "Besides, I don't think anyone is better suited to the task than the Emperor through the ages."

The First Emperor had no reason to doubt Hao Shuai. Men of their rank and power had no need to resort to lies to get what they wanted.

That would only make them seem beneath themselves!

"Very well. I accept!" Decisive as ever, the First Emperor immediately stood and started to leave, intending to awaken his army.

"Wait!"
