"Is this the secret of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon? Wow, uncle, look! What huge trees!"
Like a country bumpkin entering the city, Jing Tianming looked around with great curiosity, his gaze finally settling on a towering tree in the distance.
That was a true pillar supporting the heavens, its height estimated to be at least tens of thousands of miles, maintaining the stability of the entire alternate dimension.
Gai Nie frowned. He had already prepared himself to die, but unexpectedly, Eastern Emperor Taiyi did not intend to kill them. Although unraveling the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon had exhausted almost all of Tianming's power, he was not in any immediate danger.
This made him very gloomy, as if he had thrown a powerful punch but hit nothing, which was extremely unpleasant.
The secret of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon was indeed terrifying; it was actually a complete world.
"Gentlemen!"
Suddenly, a tall man appeared beside Eastern Emperor Taiyi. The moment Gai Nie saw the man, his pupils shrank, and he instinctively shielded the powerless Jing Tianming behind him, watching the man warily.
Although the other person had grown considerably taller, his appearance remained unchanged; it was none other than Wang Hao.
Of course, Wang Hao who came this time was only an avatar. He had previously sealed it inside Eastern Emperor Taiyi to save energy. Now that he had unlocked the secret of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon, he naturally had to show himself.
"It's Little Gai! Is this kid Jing Ke's son, Tianming?"
Looking back at Gai Nie and Jing Tianming, who were being protected by him, Wang Hao became somewhat interested in the two.
He now fully understands the intentions of his future self; the four people sent by the other party, including Gai Nie, all have profound meanings.
As the absolute protagonist of this era, Jing Tianming possesses most of the era's Fortune, making him the perfect candidate to unlock the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon.
Xiang Shaoyu, the Overlord, is a born overlord with extremely strong cultivation talent, especially on the battlefield. He is perfectly suited to be the vanguard for Xiang Shaoyu's later testing of the God Domain.
Xiao Yu's words were naturally the most important point, the key to keeping his unregistered status undetected, and also the key to completing the system's mission.
As for Gai Nie, he was the protector who grew up with the three of them. They all had their own missions, and none of them were idle.
Now that Gai Nie and Jing Tianming have completed their mission, they have successfully unlocked the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon for him.
"You know my father?"
Jing Tianming curiously peeked out. He had very vague memories of his father and mother, and he never expected to run into someone his father knew.
"Of course we know each other!"
Recalling the two Jing Ke princesses he had personally created, plus that Gongsun Liji, Wang Hao's expression became strange.
Now, Jing Tianming can truly and sincerely call Brother Zheng "Dad"!
After all, Brother Zheng was so heartless that he had raped both of Tianming's parents, and over the course of more than a hundred years, he had given birth to more than a hundred younger brothers and sisters for Jing Tianming.
I wonder if this poor child will break down when he finds out the truth!
" Tianming, he is none other than Wang Hao, the Great Qin!"
Seeing that Jing Tianming wanted to ask more questions, Gai Nie quickly gave him a warning, while keeping a closer eye on Wang Hao, ready to unleash his full power at any moment.
"What? He's that infamous perverted villain?"
Jing Tianming's eyes widened; he simply couldn't reconcile the gentle and refined man before him with the infamous, wicked, and treacherous Great Qin.
The difference is just too big!
"Hey kid, you'd better watch your mouth, or you'll get a taste of what Fist of Love is all about!"
Wang Hao's face darkened, and he threatened viciously. Then, as if remembering something, he smiled wickedly, "Speaking of which, I'm also Yue'er's father. Because of what you just said, you and Yue'er are completely out of luck. You'll never see her again in this lifetime..."
Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, a scorching beam of light shot from the side, blasting Wang Hao away. Immediately following was a massive explosion, the huge mushroom cloud of which could be seen from a great distance.
A graceful figure shrouded in the blazing sun strode over; upon closer inspection, who else could it be but Eastern Lord Yan Fei?
"Give us some face! There are juniors here!"
A disheveled Wang Hao flew back from the epicenter of the explosion, and said to Yanfei, whose pretty face was cold, with a hint of ingratiation.
"If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll chop you up!"
glaring fiercely at Wang Hao, Yanfei flew away with a cold expression. She needed to find out everything about this place as soon as possible to prepare for the next plan, and she couldn't afford to be careless.
"Uncle, is he really the Grand Tutor of the Great Qin Dynasty?"
Completely bewildered, Jing Tianming tugged at Gai Nie's sleeve. The scene before him was utterly shattering his worldview!
Is this guy really the legendary Great Qin Tutor Wang Hao, the one who is treacherous, plundering, wicked, and abets evil?
I'm not well-educated, don't try to fool me!
"..."
Gai Nie was equally bewildered and hadn't expected things to turn out this way either.
"Ahem... Little Gai! You'll stay here for a while. In a few days, the people of Great Qin will temporarily migrate here for refuge. Help manage things."
With a dry cough, Wang Hao quickly straightened his disheveled figure.
Anyway, this is just an energy clone; the clothes and everything else are just illusions created by energy, nothing more than a thought.
He was stunned by the laser attack from the crazy woman Yanfei, which is why he didn't react immediately and ended up looking disheveled.
"Refuge? You mean the Great Destruction is about to befall us?"
Gai Nie was shocked. He had personally experienced the Great Destruction in that future timeline. Although he had only experienced the initial stage of the Great Destruction, the terrifying apocalyptic scene still left him with lingering fear.
If another Great Destruction were to occur in this timeline, the entire world would likely face the same fate.
"Yes! Although we have tried our best to delay, the root of the Great Destruction has long existed, and it has reached its limit now."
Nodding, Wang Hao gave a brief explanation, making no attempt to hide anything further.
The reason we were wary of Gai Nie back then was mainly because the timing wasn't right. There were many things that Gai Nie, whose stance was still undecided, couldn't know, lest it cause irreparable damage.
But now that we've reached the final stage, there's no need to hide anything anymore.
Even if Gai Nie knew everything, it wouldn't matter. Besides, he knew Gai Nie's character well. The best way to deal with such a gentleman was to deceive him in a righteous way. At this critical time, it was most appropriate to have him help suppress this place.
After all, the other party has also merged with the original body of this era, and their foundation and strength far exceed those of ordinary Heaven Realm Peak experts. With the help of the Great Qin Legion they left behind, they are more than capable of stabilizing this refuge.
"Sir, could you please tell me the truth?"
Sensing the implied meaning in Wang Hao's words, Gai Nie quickly asked.
The current situation is very different from what he had anticipated, and there are clearly many hidden reasons behind it. These hidden reasons and doubts must be answered by the Great Qin so that they can make a judgment.
"There's nothing wrong with saying it!"
Sitting down on a rock, Wang Hao began to explain everything, starting with the ancient War Against the Gods and continuing all the way to the Hell Battlefield.
This series of shocking secrets left Gai Nie Jing Tianming dumbfounded, truly never expecting the truth of the world to be like this.
The Great Qin, which was initially thought to be a great villain, turned out to be a savior. So what about the Hundred Schools of Thought that helped the six states fight against the Great Qin?
Are they accomplices in the Destroying the World?
For a moment, Jing Tianming was lost and confused. He felt that the faith he had upheld for over a hundred years was collapsing, and he became completely disoriented.
"So, in that case, you and Ying Zheng have always been just generals!"
At this moment, Gai Nie finally understood everything and realized what the strange feeling he had felt during his trip to Tomb of Chiyou was all about.
It turns out that it wasn't the Tomb of Chiyou or the Chiyou's Inheritance at all. It was all deliberately created by the person in front of them to attract the Hundred Schools of Thought and the royal families of the six kingdoms, so that they could obtain the so-called Chiyou's Inheritance.
Talking to smart people is so much easier!
Wang Hao cast an approving glance at Gai Nie and explained, "That's right. Back then, those so-called Chiyou's Inheritance were indeed deduced by me. However, Brother Zheng and I genuinely wanted to use the six states and the Hundred Schools of Thought as whetstones to hone our main army."
But who would have thought you'd be so disappointing, only managing to serve as a training ground for our new recruits for over a hundred years.
By the end, Wang Hao's expression was gloomy and filled with disappointment. He had painstakingly deduced so many inheritances, hoping to cultivate the six states and the Hundred Schools of Thought into high-quality whetstones.
But who would have thought that the six states and the Hundred Schools of Thought were too weak, and so far they can only barely serve as training grounds for new recruits of the Great Qin Legion.
These words made Gai Nie and Jing Tianming feel extremely embarrassed, because they were both members of the Six Kingdoms and the Hundred Schools of Thought factions.
"Uncle, where is this? Is this the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon in the sky?"
Feeling extremely embarrassed, Jing Tianming quickly changed the subject.
"You could say that!"
After thinking about it, Wang Hao figured he had nothing better to do than explain the origin of this place to Gai Nie and the other two, since he had nothing to do until Yanfei and the others had figured it out.
"In the beginning of our world, besides the Human Realm, which is the main world, there were countless smaller worlds attached to it. Loulan, which you once saw, is one such smaller world."
Among these attached smaller worlds, four are the largest, some even rivaling the size of the main world's Human Realm.
The largest of these small worlds is Hell on the other side of our earth, where all souls are drawn together and reincarnated. It is two-thirds the size of our world.
The second small world is the legendary God Domain, the dwelling place of the God Clan. Its environment and resources are the best and most abundant, many times better than the main world.
The third small world was the Netherworld, where the Nether Clan once lived. Unfortunately, it was destroyed by the God Clan in ancient times, and the Nether Clan eventually ended up in Hell, barely surviving.
And this is the last small world. There was once a mysterious kingdom here called Wanqu Kingdom. The people here are very similar to our Human Clan, but they were born from a World Tree.
It was that one great tree, but sadly, this World Tree suffered a tragic fate, losing all its vitality, causing this small world to wither and die.
That's right, this is Wanqu Kingdom, the birthplace of Qi Refinement Technique in the Legend and the Hero. After seeing the withered remains of the World Tree, he cleared up the origin of this place.
The Wanqu Kingdom's small world is a semi-independent world. The Great Destruction of the main world is indeed unlikely to affect this place. Staying here can indeed temporarily avoid the Great Destruction.
From this perspective, the Great Zhou royal family did not simply deceive people; they created the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon, leaving a glimmer of hope for future generations.
He had long suspected this and had even made preparations for it; now, it has simply confirmed his previous guesses.
This place will serve as a refuge for all the citizens of Great Qin, so that they can set aside all their worries, prepare for battle, and confront the mastermind behind all of this.
It was precisely because he had a rough idea of the secrets here that he had the Yin-Yang School members activate the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon.
After all, one of the essential conditions for activating the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon is that the main world experiences Great Destruction. Only in this way can the world barrier of the main world temporarily disappear; otherwise, it would be impossible to enter this place.
