Fusu, instead of taking over Great Qin, chose to establish his own power with 300,000 troops, rebelling alongside the six states with you.
The First Emperor couldn't sit still and immediately stopped his feigned death. However, on the day the First Emperor returned to court, two individuals did things that made him want to vomit blood.
One was named Lu Sheng, and the other was Hu Hai.
After Lu Sheng and the others returned from their sea voyage, Wang Ben, as per the First Emperor's request, had the Confucian scholars and alchemists meet the First Emperor in rotation.
When it was Lu Sheng's turn, it was the very day the First Emperor returned to court. Previously, Lu Sheng had brought back a book called "The Book of Records," claiming it was a prophecy.
It was a book that predicted future events, stating: "The one who will destroy Qin is Hu." This led the First Emperor to order Meng Tian to take 300,000 troops to attack the Hu people.
After Lu Sheng's return this time, a voice in his mind kept telling him: it was Hu Hai, not the Hu people. Thus, Lu Sheng planned to report this matter to the First Emperor.
However, as Lu Sheng was reporting the situation to the First Emperor, who had returned and was stabilizing the court, Hu Hai, through a banquet for his brothers, poisoned and killed twenty-one of his brothers at Zhao Gao's instigation.
The First Emperor's 23 sons were instantly reduced to only Fusu and Hu Hai. A young eunuch desperately tried to deliver the message but was killed by Zhao Gao.
When the news arrived, Lu Sheng was just reporting that the "Book of Records" mentioned Hu referred to Hu Hai.
The First Emperor, who always maintained a placid expression, couldn't contain his emotions under the impact of the two pieces of news. He ordered the guards to drag Lu Sheng out.
"Such important matters, and you only report them now! Damn it, damn it, you Confucian scholar and alchemist are truly deserving of death! Not even half as good as True Man Bai! Tear him apart by five horses!"
The First Emperor even kicked over the trembling young eunuch beside him: "Marquis Tongwu! Go and skin Zhao Gao, that eunuch dog, alive! Make him wish he were dead! And flay Hu Hai too!"
The imperial version of burning books and burying scholars occurred under the combined ultimate skill of Lu Sheng and Hu Hai.
By the time Xu Fu returned from his sea voyage, both waves of burning books and burying scholars had already concluded. Upon hearing that Bai Ming had long since left Xianyang Palace and the rumors of the two book burnings and scholar burials, she dared not return to Xianyang.
Xu Fu sought refuge with you. She believed that only by being with you could she feel truly at ease.
Mount Mangdang, at your camp.
Consort Yu looked at Xu Fu with a helpless expression. She thought she had finally gotten rid of the gloomy child, only to find that the gloomy child had come back.
"Consort Yu... Consort Yu, has your relationship with the Chief progressed?"
Back then, Xu Fu was the only one among the Confucian scholars and alchemists who could freely enter and exit Bai Ming's residence with just a smile and had an unreliable personality. She was exceptionally concerned about Consort Yu and Bai Ming's relationship.
Consort Yu shook her head. Even though their feelings were clear, their relationship had not progressed at all. Bai Ming always treated her like a buddy. "He says the time isn't right, that our timing isn't synchronized. He also always worries about my future... It's really stupid. Speaking of which, you can't see him right now; he's busy with other things."
Xu Fu was speechless.
Meanwhile, in the tent, Bai Ming looked at the 21 male souls with a peculiar expression. He didn't keep his clairvoyance active all the time, so he really didn't know how all 21 of the First Emperor's sons had died.
"You're saying Hu Hai invited you to dinner and then poisoned all of you?"
Gao, the leading prince, scratched his head and said sheepishly, "That's right. We never expected that beast would do this to his own brothers."
"And you're still embarrassed?" Bai Ming scolded him irritably. "You were all vying for the throne, so why were you gathered together having a merry dinner?"
Jiang Lu spoke up, "Even when competing for the throne, we shouldn't forget our brotherhood. We all left room for each other when we fought. A simple 'brother' or 'younger brother' was enough to make us stop and leave each other alive. Please, sir, contact my elder brother and avenge us."
[Talent activated under the name "Brandou"]
Bai Ming shook his head and said, "Since you want revenge, why not make it a grand affair?"
Bai Ming stood up. "The reason you could survive with just a word of 'brother' is due to a simple principle: you didn't want to bear the infamy of killing your brothers. For various reasons, you have to admit that people live for peace of mind."
"Peace of mind...?"
Bai Ming's words made over twenty princes fall into thought.
"Yes, peace of mind. Everyone strives to overcome their inner unease and fear to live with a clear conscience. When facing the danger of being killed, they feel fear; when they can't eat, they feel fear due to hunger."
Bai Ming turned to look at the souls. "So, no matter what you do, it's essentially an excuse to achieve peace of mind. If you can't personally seek revenge, you probably can't find peace, can you? Therefore, become my attendants. I will reshape your bodies, you will pledge allegiance to me, and then I will let you personally feel peace."
[The twenty-one princes agreed to your idea without much hesitation.]
[Your All-Nature Sect gained twenty-one attendants. You named these twenty-one attendants the "Three-Seven Youths." Three represents auspiciousness, and seven symbolizes danger. The name Three-Seven signifies that fortune and misfortune are intertwined.]
[Subsequently, you reshaped the bodies of the twenty-one princes using heavenly materials and earthly treasures. The twenty-one princes also joined the grand rebellion of you three brothers.]
Chapter 97: Bai Ming intends to use Vortigern's dragon root to forge a magical artifact to stab Zhao Gao's anus!
[You were like the Green Snake spirit in "Calabash Brothers" refining the Seven Hearts Pill, throwing all twenty-one sons of the First Emperor into the alchemical cauldron, saying they had to endure seven layers of suffering to welcome rebirth, transforming from death to life, and from acquired to innate.]
[Prince Gao and the others couldn't understand at all, but they felt it was very powerful, so they endured the torment in the cauldron.]
[Then, you used the Water Mirror technique to contact the First Emperor, who was far away in Xianyang Palace, and transmitted the matter of reshaping the twenty-one princes' bodies to him through magic.]
After a long wait, Xu Fu finally met Bai Ming.
A bronze mirror was placed on Bai Ming's desk, but Xu Fu paid it no mind. Upon seeing Bai Ming, Xu Fu unhesitatingly rushed forward and began to weep profusely. "Chief! Chief! I missed you so much! That First Emperor is tyrannical and cruel, actually burning books and burying scholars! Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng are both dead! I didn't dare to go back, so I came to seek refuge with you! You must, you absolutely must take me in!"
"Ah..."
A voice, completely different from Bai Ming's but strangely familiar to Xu Fu, echoed. Xu Fu looked up at Bai Ming, thinking, This is perfectly fine, this is Lord Bai Ming!
"I, tyrannical and cruel?"
"Eh... Eh?! Your... Your Maj... Your Maj..." Xu Fu immediately realized something was wrong. Why was the First Emperor's voice coming from the bronze mirror?
"Never mind. I know that you alchemists speak freely except when in front of me and other sorcerers. Let this be the last time."
The First Emperor's voice was filled with fatigue.
"However, this is the first time I've seen you alchemists display such a maidenly demeanor in front of someone... Hmm. I'm in a good mood today, so I won't punish you for your great disrespect."
The First Emperor jested, then his tone turned serious. "I've made up my mind. This world is right here. Since my rebellious son has no interest in taking it, and that pig-like Eighteenth Son wants to ascend, then I'll give him that chance. Whether he can handle it is his own problem. If the sorcerer comes to Xianyang soon to send me to Kunlun, I won't interfere."
After all, the First Emperor had lost twenty-one children. He spoke persuasively to Bai Ming, successfully convincing him to take him to Kunlun to become an immortal. As for the Great Qin—he no longer cared.
After all, out of the First Emperor's twenty-three sons, twenty-two chose to rebel, and one chose to poison his brothers.
The First Emperor's mindset had shifted from "Great Qin for ten thousand years" to "Let's see what kind of chaos they stir up." The magnitude of this change greatly surprised Bai Ming.
"Your Majesty, I beg you to spare Zhao Gao's life, and let me deal with him personally."
"Hmm... Granted."
[The First Emperor heard that the sorcerer had many perverted individuals, so he was sure there were some miraculously perverted methods to torture Zhao Gao]
[After agreeing to your request, the communication ended. You indeed have some methods to torture Zhao Gao]
[It's just a shame about Vortigern]
[You took Vortigern's corpse from the system space, cut off his penis, and refined it into a magical artifact similar to the As-You-Will Staff. It can be big or small, hard or soft, and change its form. It was named the White Dragon's Root]
Xu Fu watched the entire process of Bai Ming extracting Vortigern's root and refining the artifact in silence. For a moment, she felt a sense of dread. She thought she was quite perverse herself, but she never expected there to be someone even more so. If she were to become Bai Ming's enemy, she feared that after being killed, her uterus would be refined into some unimaginable artifact.
However, Xu Fu still had to feign ignorance and ask, "Chief, what is this?"
"A wonderful tool to be used on Zhao Gao. If you want something similar, I can refine it for you with other materials."
[First, Jason was summoned by you and Drake with three thousand lustful men divided among their subordinates' chickens. Now, you plan to use the White Dragon's Root to freely change form and penetrate Zhao Gao's eye, or his back door. Only in terms of perversion does the system have to admire your actions]
"Forget it... forget it. This kind of thing..." Xu Fu repeatedly shook her head and even took a few steps back. "I'd rather just be a simple maid by Consort Yu's side."
"So, you came to see me just to cry on my shoulder and say you want to be Consort Yu's maid?"
"Yes, Chief."
Bai Ming remained silent, deep in thought. Xu Fu's eastward journey was not a trivial matter. It wouldn't do to let Xu Fu slack off now.
"You will take three thousand young boys and girls to Japan. Go do whatever you want there and then come back. If you die along the way, I'll directly bring you back. You cannot stay in the Great Qin now. If you don't go to Japan, how will you seize some of the Japanese gods' authority for me?"
"Huh?"
[Xu Fu was sent out to sea by you without understanding a word you said]
[While you were reshaping the bodies of twenty-one princes, Liu Bang, drunk in Mangdang Mountain Marsh, slew a white snake with considerable cultivation. He then dragged the white snake's corpse back to his camp in Mangdang Mountain]
As soon as Liu Bang entered the camp, he shouted, "Second Brother, Second Brother! Come quickly! Your elder brother has slain a white snake! I've taken its gall for you and Third Brother to soak in wine! The meat has been prepared for roasting! As for the snake's blood and scales, I know you have great use for them, Second Brother. I sprinkled some at the beginning, but most of it is intact!"
The noisy commotion interrupted Fan Kuai, who was enjoying intimacy with his wife, Bai Ri. Bai Ming also emerged from his own tent.
"Look! Big Brother slew the white snake demon while drunk!"
Liu Bang was full of pride, waving his sword incessantly. "Your elder brother did it like this, then like that. After drinking, my magical power surged, and I killed it with one sword!"
[If Liu Bang hadn't mentioned magical power, you would have almost forgotten that this is the Type-Moon world. In the Type-Moon world, everyone has Magic Circuits, a pseudo-nervous system, it's just a matter of quantity, quality, and activation. These contenders in the chaotic struggle for dominance can all use mana to some extent]
Bai Ming carefully examined the white snake, which Liu Bang had split in two. "This is the White Emperor's son. Big Brother can now proclaim the title of the Red Emperor's son. It would be best to reforge this sword with the snake's blood; it would serve as a symbol."
"Excellent, excellent. Your elder brother will go prepare the gall for you."
Liu Bang happily threw the sword in his hand directly to Bai Ming. "Third Brother is still working hard to make more children? Second Brother, you were the earliest of us three brothers to get married, so why don't you have any children yet? I'll give you more of this snake gall wine later. Work harder."
[After Liu Bang finished speaking, he ran off without waiting for your rebuttal. You were speechless for a long time, only able to take Liu Bang's sword and the White Emperor's son's blood and flesh to reforge the treasured sword]
[The original Chixiao sword should have been obtained in 213 BCE. However, because of you, the entire history of the Great Qin was accelerated by several years, even becoming chaotic, leading to Liu Bang obtaining this Chixiao sword much earlier]
[Using the blood and flesh of the White Emperor's son as a guide, you added some scales from the White Emperor's son, Vortigern's scales, and Fafnir's scales. Adorned with Seven-Colored Pearls and Nine-Flower Jade, the sword was forged. It was three feet long, inscribed with Chixiao, and its blade was perpetually like frost and snow]
[You set out again and began engaging with the rebel army]
[Your brothers and you always charged into battle first]
[Talent Seven Kill, lost]
[Talent Breaking Army, lost]
[Talent Greedy Wolf, lost]
[With the convergence of the three stars in the Three-Four Quadrant, you gained the new talent "Sha Po Lang"]
Chapter Ninety-Eight: Zhao Gao, Stabbed to Death by the White Dragon's Root (Still Updating, 1/11 Updates)
[Sha Po Lang: Formed when Seven Kill, Greedy Wolf, and Breaking Army align in the palace of fate. It favors movement over stillness, full of turmoil and change, a life of wandering, with great ups and downs. Many great generals have this fate]
[You began to be active on the battlefield as a Daoist priest, proclaiming that the White Emperor is dead and the Red Emperor shall rise. You even summoned your mount, Pénghóu, making the white great dog pretend to be a white five-tailed fox, shouting "Great Han rises, Liu Ji reigns," and began spreading the story of the Red Emperor's son Liu Bang slaying the White Emperor's son]
[Although Liu Bang didn't understand what kind of absurd act you were performing, he genuinely accepted the massive wave of popular support and popularity you brought him]
[Liu Bang considered you, Fan Kuai, and Lu Sheng his lucky stars]
[With Lu Sheng by his side in his early years, and you and Fan Kuai dedicating yourselves to him in his middle age, Liu Bang became increasingly concerned about your lack of children]
[Therefore, Liu Bang ordered more snake gall wine to be sent to Consort Yu, and stated that if Lü Changxū had your child before Consort Yu, then Consort Yu's position would be in danger. Consort Yu had no idea what Liu Bang was thinking, but she still accepted the snake gall wine and stored it]
[Although Consort Yu had no idea what you meant by "time synchronization," she didn't care. If she stored this snake gall wine for a thousand or two thousand years, and added more ingredients along the way, its effects would surely become better and better]
[Consort Yu began to research medicinal wines and study pharmacology]
[Consort Yu began to study how to preserve wine for a thousand years]
[Consort Yu succeeded in her research]
Because the First Emperor had already made arrangements, Xiang Liang, who was the first to raise an army, easily entered Xianyang City. In Xianyang City, he encountered Kuaiji Zero. Seeing it, his heart was filled with desire. He then disguised himself as his nephew. However, taking something was easy, but leaving was not.
When Xiang Liang attempted to take Kuaiji Zero away, the First Emperor, along with Wang Ben, Li Xin, Li Si, and a host of civil and military officials, led troops to surround the old Chu forces gathered by Xiang Liang. After encircling and incorporating the rebel army, he quietly watched Xiang Liang's foolish actions.
Kuaiji Zero only recognized three masters: its creator, Bai Ming, or rather, Xiang Yu; the First Emperor; and Prince Fusu. Xiang Liang was not recognized by Kuaiji Zero at all.
Thus, Xiang Liang, who had accidentally activated Kuaiji Zero, was lifted up by it with one hand.
Kuaiji Zero: "You..."
"Xiang Yu, you are my nephew, let me go quickly!"
This person actually gave himself a name identical to his "biological father." What did that Emperor say... come to think of it?
Hmm... a grave disrespect.
Kuaiji Zero directly threw Xiang Liang out as he requested and began to survey its surroundings. After failing to find Bai Ming, Fusu, or the First Emperor, it began to use its high-speed computing capabilities and Bai Ming's specially made information capture device to acquire past and present information, deduce the future, and then Kuaiji Zero looked at Xiang Liang with the pity only a sentient machine could possess before choosing to shut down and activate its self-defense system.
After deducing the future, Kuaiji Zero determined that it should be activated in 1893 or later, and that its biological father would perform one final modification on it before leaving this era. Until then, it had no need to concern itself with anything.
Xiang Liang still stubbornly tried to take away the great weapon that was Kuaiji Zero, but he did not expect Kuaiji Zero's self-protection system to directly bind Xiang Liang and then launch him away.
Outside Xianyang Palace, the First Emperor and his civil and military officials looked at Xiang Liang, who had been launched into the sky, with subtle expressions. The First Emperor thought to himself, When did I know Kuaiji Zero had this function?
[While the three of you brothers were fighting your way through cities and rushing towards Xianyang, the First Emperor played with Kuaiji Zero's release device a few times with Huhai. The First Emperor was having a great time, while Huhai, who was launched into the sky and then fell back down, was terrified. Xia Wuqie was called upon to treat any issues that arose.]
[Meanwhile, Fusu was also having a great time fighting the Xiongnu in the northern territories, making them flee in all directions.]
[214 BCE]
[You three brothers cleared out the other rebels who were vying for control of the empire with you, and then directly entered Xianyang.]
[The Three-Seven Youths under your command each led an army, and with light armor, they launched a surprise attack on Huhai's palace. With their many hands, they dragged out the still-recovering Huhai and, before he could react, chopped him into mincemeat.]
[Before everyone could enter Xianyang Palace, the First Emperor ran out from Xianyang Palace.]
