Global Game: Ten Billion Spirit Energy Coins From The Start
Chapter 942 - Chapter 942 988 the place where the First Emperor hid himself

Chapter 942: 988, the place where the First Emperor hid himself _2 Chapter 942: 988, the place where the First Emperor hid himself _2 “Awoo~” Upon arrival, Big White looked around in confusion, its expression somewhat blank.

Through its sense of smell, it could detect the aroma of many chaotic “Soul-shielding Stones” nearby. But looking forward, it did not see a single “Soul-shielding Stone”; the scene in front of it was indistinguishable from an ordinary valley.

What was going on? Could it be that its sense of smell was wrong?

Fortunately, Senior Wang Mang was closely following behind it.

Upon reaching this place, Senior Wang Mang immediately noticed something extraordinary about it.

He said to Sky Dragon earnestly, “If I’m not mistaken, this place is an illusion, and the illusion is hiding the hiding place of Emperor Qin Shi Huang.

This position should be an entrance, but it may also be just one of the entrances; there might be others around here.”

Sky Dragon asked, “Then, Senior, what should we do?”

She had some experience in exploring secret realms on Skru Star because they were quite similar to the dungeons in the Evo Game.

But when it came to places like “Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s hiding place,” which leaned towards the cultivation of immortals, she was powerless and could only listen to Senior Wang Mang’s suggestions.

“Leave this to me,” Senior Wang Mang strode forward slowly, and the Howling Moon Wolf, Big White, smartly stepped aside when he approached, sticking out its tongue and watching him.

Senior Wang Mang took Big White’s previous position, took a deep breath, and said aloud, “%@%#…”

What he spoke was a series of ancient Chinese that Sky Dragon couldn’t understand at all.

However, by pure guess, Sky Dragon felt that Senior Wang Mang was probably announcing his identity.

After Senior Wang Mang finished speaking, he directly shot out a faint green spiritual energy towards the front.

The spiritual energy made a turn in mid-air and then vanished without a trace.

About 5 seconds later, ripples like those on the surface of water appeared in the space in front of the two of them. Then, a pitch-black gate about three meters wide emerged before them.

Seeing the abruptly appearing gate, Sky Dragon’s eyes immediately lit up!

It seemed they had truly found the right place!

However, Senior Wang Mang’s expression did not change much.

He walked up calmly and knocked on the gate rhythmically, a series of knocks in a special cadence.

Finally, on the fifteenth knock, the pitch-black doors creaked open.

“Let’s go, we’re going in,” Senior Wang Mang said to Sky Dragon, looking back, and then he stepped through the gateway first.

“Okay… okay,” Sky Dragon hurriedly stowed Big White into the pet space and then followed in Senior Wang Mang’s footsteps.

After all, they were going to see Emperor Qin Shi Huang, and bringing a pet inside might be considered disrespectful. To be safe, she put Howling Moon Wolf, Big White, away.

…

…

As they stepped through the pitch-black double doors, the scenery changed drastically, and the view opened up dramatically!

Sky Dragon and Senior Wang Mang were no longer in that very ordinary valley but at the foot of a towering immortal mountain.

The immortal mountain was extremely lofty and steep, with its peak piercing straight into the clouds.

It was called an “immortal mountain” mainly because the peak was covered with ancient pines full of immortal aura, and one could vaguely see cranes dancing among them–a description as “immortal mountain” was not at all an exaggeration.

In front of them was a “Z” shaped staircase, which led all the way up the mountain.

Midway up the mountain sat a grand hall, with a huge black stone stele towering in front of it.

Besides that, almost nothing else could be seen from their angle.

“Let’s go up and take a look,” Senior Wang Mang said without a hint of nervousness, ascending step by step.

Sky Dragon immediately followed behind him, meanwhile keeping a vigilant eye on her surroundings.

Although this place, like a secret realm, seemed quite safe, ancient emperors’ tombs are often filled with traps and hidden weapons to thwart future tomb robbers in adventure novels, so caution was still the better part of valor.

…

However, Sky Dragon’s vigilance appeared to be unnecessary.

They made their way up the mountain unhindered and arrived before the grand hall on the mountainside, under the pitch-black stele.

Sky Dragon looked up at the giant black stele, which was 5 meters wide and over a dozen meters tall, with tiny characters the size of nail covers painted in gold.

The characters inscribed here were in clerical script, so Sky Dragon, being a Great Power, could understand most of it, and even the parts he didn’t grasp, he could deduce from the context.

Senior Wang Mang, of course, had even less trouble reading these characters.

And so, the two stood before the stele, patiently reading the inscribed text.

…

Half an hour passed before they realized it.

Senior Wang Mang was the first to finish reading the text on the stele, and he stroked his chin as he fell into deep thought.

Sky Dragon also managed to finish reading the narrative on the stele.

After reading, she immediately clarified many questions, like “Where exactly is Emperor Qin Shi Huang?” “Why did Emperor Qin Shi Huang build a refuge here?” “Why did Emperor Qin Shi Huang confiscate all the ‘Soul-shielding Stones’ from across the world?” among others.

To answer this question, we have to start from when Emperor Qin Shi Huang unified the six states.

More than 2,300 years ago, Emperor Qin Shi Huang successively defeated the states of Yan, Qi, Chu, Zhao, Wei, Han, and other feudal lords, unifying the country, putting an end to a century of divided warfare, and securing his imperial throne.

His own strength also continuously accumulated during the unification process, ultimately breaking through to the Mahayana Peak (Divine Rank Peak), making him one of the strongest beings on Blue Star.

But after unifying the country, Emperor Qin Shi Huang suddenly lost his sense of purpose.

The nation was unified, with scarcely an enemy within the four seas.

To the southeast of the empire were vast oceans, and to the northwest lay barren lands without value for conquest, and even if there was value, the manpower resources of that time couldn’t possibly conquer them.

As for strength, achieving the Mahayana Peak was already the upper limit on Blue Star; to break through to Planet Level, all the resources of Blue Star combined were far from enough, making it an impossibility.

As for ensuring his descendants rule for ten thousand years? Sorry, he wasn’t interested.

Therefore, Emperor Qin Shi Huang found himself in a state of confusion.

However, in the fifth year of his reign, he woke from a dream one day, suddenly struck by a brilliant idea–he wanted to see the great wide world!

Of course, by “world,” he didn’t mean Blue Star, but the vast and boundless universe beyond.

The Milky Way alone had a hundred billion planets, and the neighboring Silver Star System even had a trillion stars!

Such an immense world must be incredibly diverse!

Emperor Qin Shi Huang was seized by the intense desire to “go out and see.”

But problems arose quickly–he couldn’t get out.

King Zhou of Shang, King Zhou, had left Blue Star, but he had once met a star-traveler by a stroke of luck, and with the assistance of that traveler, was able to leave Blue Star successfully.

Emperor Qin Shi Huang had not made any acquaintances with star-travelers–to put it bluntly, he hadn’t met a single extraterrestrial.

Without the help of extraterrestrials, his own power simply wasn’t enough to leave the Solar System.

And so, Emperor Qin Shi Huang sank into gloom.

In despair, he could only wait, hoping alien visitors might come to Blue Star again and take him with them.

He waited 32 years.

During these 32 years, Emperor Qin Shi Huang continually anticipated the arrival of visitors from other stars, but regrettably, he didn’t even catch sight of an alien hair.

During the long wait, his patience completely ran out.

After much reflection, he decided not to foolishly wait for extraterrestrials any longer but to use a crude method instead.

This method was–time travel!

He intended to travel to the future, to an era where Blue Star was already connected with interstellar civilization.

Based on his estimates, for Blue Star Humans to achieve interstellar travel, it would take at least 100,000 years. (Considering dinosaurs ruled Blue Star for about a hundred million years, 100,000 years really wasn’t that long.)

However, a God Level pinnacle being’s lifespan was at most 3,000 years; it certainly wasn’t normal to live until that time.

Thus, he constructed this refuge, sealing his body and ceasing all movement in each cell and molecule, encased by Spiritual Energy, entering a state of complete hibernation.

After entering complete hibernation, his lifespan would be greatly extended, living for 100,000 years or even a million years was absolutely no problem.

This was what is called “time travel.”

It was similar to how some modern-day wealthy people cryonically freeze themselves, hoping for the day in the future when they could be thawed and revived.

With this crude method, Emperor Qin Shi Huang could smoothly “travel” to the future world, then use the technology of that future world to travel the universe.
