Li Yue was startled.
He discovered that the tour guide and all the other tourists had vanished.
And somehow, without realizing it, he had come to stand before an ancient coffin.
Above him stretched endless stars.
Below lay vast mountains and rivers, with mercury flowing in streams.
"Is this inside First Emperor Qin's Mausoleum?!"
"How did I suddenly end up in here?"
"Isn't this the legendary place that's never been excavated?"
Li Yue was bewildered.
Then—
He saw it.
The coffin before him moved.
Its lid slid aside, and a figure wearing the Flat Heaven Crown and a black Ancestral Dragon Robe slowly sat up within.
The man's eyes were calm as he gazed quietly at him.
Li Yue instantly felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet and shoot straight into his skull.
First Emperor Qin?!
First Emperor Qin's corpse had come back to life?!
His scalp prickled, and his hair stood on end.
He staggered backward uncontrollably.
"A Taboo Existence has eyes and ears on the Ninth Mountain."
"This is the only way I can meet with you."
"Awaken."
First Emperor Qin spoke calmly.
In an instant—
Li Yue's eyes became exceptionally clear. Every trace of terror vanished, yet his pupils still contracted as he exclaimed in surprise:
"First Emperor?"
He had never imagined it.
He would actually meet the First Emperor of Great Qin in this way!
This place—
Was Blue Star!
And it was certainly no illusory Blue Star!
It was the real Blue Star, the world where he had been born!
"It is I."
"Nor did I expect you to reach this level in such a short time."
"Moreover, your achievements have already surpassed those of every living being throughout history."
"Even at the same level as you, I would fall far short."
