Returning to Reality

"."

After Xu Yun spoke, there was a brief silence in Halo Space.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination.

For a moment, he suddenly felt as though Halo Space had been very humanly taken aback.

But soon, another prompt appeared in front of him:

[Wall-facer's choice detected. The Imperial Seal will materialize at the Monument to the People's Heroes in Huaxia, longitude 116°23′30″ east, latitude 39°54′12″ north.]

[Final confirmation: Do you wish to select this location? This choice cannot be changed once confirmed.]

[Yes/No]

"Yes."

Admittedly,

compared to the other locations, the Monument to the People's Heroes would clearly be more difficult to excavate.

The only chance to unearth the Imperial Seal buried beneath the monument would be during a large-scale renovation of the Monument to the People's Heroes.

And since it was built, the Monument to the People's Heroes had undergone only four renovations.

The first renovation took place in 1971. At the time, the inscription "Eternal Glory to the People's Heroes," originally engraved in gilt on the north side of the monument, was replaced with red fiberglass lettering.

The second was before National Day in 1980, when the red fiberglass lettering was removed, damaged and broken stone was replaced, and the original gilded lettering was restored.

The third took place in June 1999, when the monument was thoroughly cleaned and maintained during a major renovation of Tiananmen Square.

The fourth was in 2006. Leaks, cracks, misaligned sections, and severe weathering were repaired. It was also the largest renovation in 47 years.

Going by that schedule,

the next renovation of the monument would probably take place around the 2029 military parade, marking the 80th anniversary of Huaxia's founding.
