[Around 600 BC, 140 states were divided and ruled separately, resulting in political chaos and widespread suffering.]
[In 403 BC, after two hundred years of war, only Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin remained of the original 140 states. Their national strength was unprecedented, and their people were extremely united.]
In 386 BC, a meteorite fell from the sky and landed in Xinzheng, the capital of the State of Han, killing all 300,000 people. An enormous monster emerged from the meteorite, its body crimson and its mouth speaking human language. Wherever it went, lava spread. It was known as the Flame Hell Demon Dragon.
In 373 BC, the State of Han fell, leaving widespread devastation. The states of Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Wei, and Qin joined forces to besiege the Flame Hell Demon Dragon on State of Han's border, but their efforts ended in failure.
[In 307 BC, two generations of diligent governance led to rapid technological advancements. After several campaigns against the Flame Hell Demon Dragon, a wound was discovered in its heart. Subsequent battles ensued, resulting in injuries on both sides.]
In 221 BC, Emperor Ying Zheng of the Great Qin Empire, building upon the achievements of six generations of his family, swept across five states and unified the world. He then mobilized the entire nation to cast Twelve Bronze Men.
In 207 BC, the Great Qin, and the Flame Hell Demon Dragon retreated underground, never to be seen again.

[Mission begins!]
There were no rewards, and no punishments.
The reward is entry into the Great Wilderness Main World, while the punishment for failure is being trapped here forever.
Looking at the distant starry sky, Xu Long's mood suddenly calmed down.
The road home is right in front of me; it seems far away, but it's actually very close.
There was no time limit for the task, but Xu Long didn't intend to drag it out for too long.
According to the Red Queen's analysis, the genes of the Flame Hell Beast are showing a trend of gradual stabilization.
This suggests that something may have happened to the parent structure located underground.
Based on the background information provided by the Main God, the Flame Hell Demon Dragon's injuries should be healing.
The longer the delay, the faster the Flame Hell Demon Dragon recovers, and the harder it becomes to kill it.
If this drags on for a year or two, there's no point in doing this task anymore.
Even a wounded Flame Hell Demon Dragon could destroy the Great Qin Empire. If we wait for it to recover, we can just wash it clean and wipe its neck; there's no need to fight it.
There isn't much information available about the Great Qin Empire's military strength.
But just look at the current Flame Hell Beast, and you'll know how powerful the Flame Hell Demon Dragon, the mother beast, was.
Genes are constantly evolving, making them immune to most fire attacks.
In this way, humanity's weapons are basically rendered useless, leaving only nuclear bombs as the only weapons available.
But then again, does that thing actually work?
If the Flame Hell Demon Dragon cannot be killed by the bomb, the nuclear missile will become completely useless.
Although the Red Queen now possesses a great deal of high technology, even the most skilled cook cannot make a meal without ingredients; without advancements in basic science, no amount of advanced technology will be of any use.
The simplest and most direct approach is materials science!
All the core materials for the War Base were obtained by exchanging them with the Main God. The Red Queen may have the smelting technology, but without the materials, it's all for nothing.
"The situation is worse than I thought!"
Xu Long pondered this as he began to formulate a plan.
There are ten days until the next mission world opens, at which time a large number of B-rank Reincarnation Temple will appear.
If we could bring these Reincarnation Temple beings along, our chances of winning would be much greater.
As for whether they are willing or not...
Heh, there isn't a single person in this world who doesn't want to destroy the Flame Hell Beast.
Their homes were destroyed, their civilization severed. For twenty years, they struggled in the mission world of the Reincarnation Temple. What was it all for? To destroy the Flame Hell Beast!
There's no need for any benefits; as long as the time is right, everyone is willing to take action.
Although those Reincarnation Temple cherish their lives, if it were to fight the Flame Hell Beast, even knowing it would be a certain death, many would still step forward.
At the capital base of the First District, the Divine Heavenly Emperor looked at Xu Long on the screen and couldn't help but sigh.
The Yangtze River's waves push the previous waves forward, and a new generation replaces the old.
After the battle on Planet Namek, Xu Long became more mature and stronger.
Based on the speed at which it was flying just now, I couldn't catch up even if I risked my life.
"I'm getting old, time to retire!"
The Divine Heavenly Emperor muttered something to himself, picked up his teacup, and took two sips.
Just then, the camera on the electronic screen zoomed in rapidly, and Xu Long's voice came through the speaker.
The Red Queen controlled the satellites and computers in First District to ensure Xu Long could communicate normally with the Divine Heavenly Emperor.
"Now is not the time to retire. In at most another year, the world will be destroyed."
Xu Long looked at the Divine Heavenly Emperor and said.
"What? Where did you get this information from?"
Upon hearing Xu Long's words, the Divine Heavenly Emperor could no longer remain seated.
"The technology I possess now surpasses your imagination..."
Xu Long sighed and continued, "I've found out about the Flame Hell Beast. About 2,400 years ago, during the Warring States period, a creature called the Flame Hell Demon Dragon was enveloped by a meteorite and descended to Earth. The capital of the state of State of Han, one of the Seven Warring States, was completely destroyed. Afterwards, the remaining six states organized large armies to besiege the Flame Hell Demon Dragon many times, but all ended in failure."
After Ying Zheng the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, mobilized the entire nation to forge Twelve Bronze Men to fight against the Flame Hell Demon Dragon...
"And then what? What happened to the Flame Hell Demon Dragon?"
Although he knew that the State of Qin in history only existed for fourteen years before it perished, the Divine Heavenly Emperor still couldn't help but ask.
" The Flame Hell Demon Dragon suffered severe damage and retreated underground, while the Great Qin Empire completely declined and was destroyed."
Xu Long paused for a moment, then said, "Those Flame Hell Beast should be offspring of the Flame Hell Demon Dragon. After recent research, I've discovered that their genes are beginning to stabilize. This means the Flame Hell Demon Dragon 'Flame Hell Beast injuries are healing. In a year at most, the Flame Hell Demon Dragon will return to the surface. At that time, no one will be its match."
"You can't do it! Neither can I!"
Xu Long's words fell into the ears of the Divine Heavenly Emperor, causing him to fall silent.
His greatest wish in life was to destroy the Flame Hell Beast, but the Flame Hell Beast always hid underground, and he couldn't get in with his strength.
At this moment, he knew that in another year, the mother of the Flame Prison Flame Hell Demon Dragon, would be born, but he felt no excitement at all.
The Flame Hell Demon Dragon, the terrifying monster that annihilated the Great Qin Empire —can they truly win?
How confident are you?
The Divine Heavenly Emperor suddenly asked.
I have absolutely no confidence!
Xu Long looked at the Divine Heavenly Emperor with a resolute expression.
"But what if we're not confident? We have no choice! We either gather all our strength and fight it out, or we wait to be wiped out. When that happens, whether it's the First District or the Second District, all humanity will die in the mouth of the Flame Hell Demon Dragon."
