The last day passed quickly, and as the countdown began, Xu Long's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
In 221 BC, the seven kingdoms were embroiled in war, and the people suffered greatly. The Great Qin Empire, building upon the achievements of six generations, unified the six kingdoms, ending the chaos. It standardized weights and measures, promoting social development. It suppressed sorcerers and liberated thought. That wise and ambitious ruler who completed this unification is historically known as the Dragon Emperor ...
[The remnants of the six kingdoms, in alliance with evil cultivators, attempted to assassinate the Dragon Emperor multiple times, but all attempts failed...]
[In 207 BC, the Dragon Emperor grew old. The demoness Zi Yuan, claiming to possess a method for prolonging Changsheng, came to the Dragon Emperor's side...]
[Relying on longevity-enhancing drugs, the demoness Zi Yuan gradually gained the Dragon Emperor's trust. When the time was ripe, Zi Yuan, together with the traitor Guo Ming, unleashed a curse, turning the Dragon Emperor and all the soldiers of the Great Qin Empire into terracotta figurines...]
In 1947 AD, Rick O'Connor, a tomb raider, and Alex, the son of Evelyn, entered the Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, intending to steal the treasures buried within...

[Main Quest: 1. Obtain the World Core and hold it for 30 minutes! Upon completion, you will receive 50 Low-Grade Spirit Stone! You will be teleported to the Reincarnation Temple! Failure will result in death!]
You have the following identities to choose from:
1. Rick the Tomb Rick! Requires 5 Permission Points!
2. Warlord! Requires 4 authority points!
3. Baron Cohen! Requires 4 access points!
"Choose a warlord!"
Without much hesitation, Xu Long made his choice immediately.
This time, there are only three characters to choose from, and they all seem to be insignificant.
But when placed in the context of 1947, it becomes quite interesting.
The tomb raider Alex has entered the Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, intending to steal the treasures buried inside. This part of the story will most likely follow him.
Rick is Alex's father, so he has the advantage of being in a close relationship with him.
The two below should be mutually exclusive.
On August 15, 1945, Japan surrendered, ending the War of Resistance against Japan.
On October 1, 1949, the China was founded.
During this period, many Japanese soldiers lingered in China and refused to leave, resulting in the loss of numerous historical artifacts and countless treasures that were taken from their homeland forever.
Considering the historical context, Baron Cohen was absolutely engaged in this kind of shady dealing.
The warlords were no better; they too were digging for and plundering treasures.
After choosing the warlord, relevant information immediately came to mind.
Xu Long raised an eyebrow, discovering an unexpected surprise.
This warlord was a descendant of Ziying, and had the blood of the Dragon Emperor flowing through his veins.
Because of their reverence for the great achievements of their ancestors, the warlords had always dreamed of the Great Qin The Cavalry reappearing in the world and once again achieving their dream of unifying the world.
"That's interesting!"
Xu Long opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his lips.
Set in a modern society, the world level is S-rank, and the difficulty is extremely high. If nothing unexpected happens, the problem lies with the Dragon Emperor and the banshee Zi Yuan.
These two are definitely S-rank powerhouses, and they are no weaker than the Moon Worship Sect Leader Sword Saint Dugu.
[Note! This is a chain mission that will unlock gradually as you progress, but it will not affect the final mission!]
[Chain Quest: 1. Obtain the Eye of Eternity!]
The notification from the Main God rang in his mind, causing Xu Long to pause in surprise.
However, he quickly realized what was going on.
This mission was quite different from previous ones. Not only was background information provided, but the mission itself was also guided. The reason for this was simply because it was new.
That's right, this is a new world, a world that Xu Long doesn't understand.
And not only Xu Long was unaware of this, but it's likely that no one else was either.
There's no perfect match for the storyline; you can only figure it out little by little.
This description is somewhat similar to a movie Xu Long had seen called "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor," but that was a film that insulted China. The Japanese director portrayed the Dragon Emperor as a cruel and bloodthirsty Tyrant and regarded several foreign tomb raiders as heroes.
Absolutely shameless!
This world is similar to the Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, but without a doubt, the Dragon Emperor is the protagonist.
" The Eye of Eternity..."
Xu Long muttered something to himself and called the soldiers outside the door in.
"General!"
The soldier saluted and awaited Xu Long's orders.
"How is the excavation of the tomb progressing?"
"It's still in the exploration phase; it's full of traps and mechanisms, and many people have already died."
The soldier reported.
"Um."
Xu Long nodded. "Report to me immediately if you have any news. Also, keep an eye out for the name ' Eye of Eternity,' or anything similar."
"Yes!"
After dismissing his men, Xu Long stood by the window, gazing at the scenery outside.
By Shanghu City was already showing the beginnings of a bustling Dadu, with three- or four-story buildings lining the streets and lights still burning in the early hours of the morning.
Countless nightingales linger in various brothels, hoping to catch the eye of a powerful and influential person and thus escape this nomadic life.
The general Xu Long replaced was very simple-minded; besides worshipping the glory of his ancestors, all he could think about was making money.
Make money!
Make money!
Make money!
Forget about rights and women!
I just want to make money!
Such a simple-minded and persistent person reminded Xu Long of Valmont from "Adventures of an Adult Insect".
Valmont is a gang leader who works for the villain Shendu.
Unlike other characters who crave power, beauty, strength, and immortality, Valmont's desires are refreshingly different: he simply wants money.
Ultimately, the Shendu promise and, after escaping from Hell, possessed his body.
The Shendu is an immortal being with immense power.
Yet even this monster, which could only be sealed away and could not be destroyed, could not affect Valmont's will.
The Shendu's desire to rule the world was defeated by Valmont's money-making schemes, and the mob boss once again embarked on a money-making journey with his men.
Xu Long greatly admired such simple-minded people.
However, his ideal was different from his own: money was merely an external thing, only power was Eternity.
"The situation in Shanghu City isn't too complicated. It only involves my current warlord and Baron Cohen's Japanese troops. But that's normal; they're just cannon fodder, and no matter how much they try, it won't make a difference."
Xu Long thought to himself that he didn't intend to waste too much time on these subordinates.
His enemies are at the level of the Dragon Emperor and the banshee Zi Yuan, not even reaching S-rank, and are not even qualified to injure him.
When the Rice Bucket was released, the idiot let out his usual wolf howl.
After barking, the Rice Bucket happily jumped onto the windowsill to observe the scenery outside.
Don't be fooled by its cautious demeanor; it's all an act.
This guy's been watching too many spy movies lately; he's been doing everything in a sneaky way.
"Go out and have fun, but remember to come back for dinner on time."
Xu Long called out, and the latter immediately darted out the window.
