221 B.C.
Qin destroyed the six countries and unified the world.
This year, the First Emperor issued three orders in a row.
Build the Great Wall, build the Imperial Mausoleum, and build Epang Palace!
......
It was a quiet night.
Northern borders of the Empire, within the jurisdiction of Yuyang County.
In a nameless village by the border.
The villagers walked out of their houses in unison and gathered in the open space in front of a low house.
Looking at the low room in front of him that was faintly lit by candlelight, his simple face was filled with worry and regret.
"Sigh, what a sin. Good people don't get rewarded!”
"That's right. Old Master Bai has sheltered the village for so long. Who would have thought that he would end up like this?”
"Who says so? Sigh! If he had not picked up that child back then…"
"Shh! Shut up. Old Master Bai hated hearing people talk about this the most.”
"Sigh! Actually, that child is also a poor person…"
In front of the low house, the villagers were whispering.
His words were filled with grief and sigh.
In the short house.
The weak candlelight illuminated the small adobe house.
On the shaky wooden bed lay an old man with a weak voice.
The old man's hair and beard were all white, and he was emaciated. His face was pale and devoid of blood.
However, it was as if many stories were written on his chiseled face.
From his sharp eyes, one could vaguely tell that he must have been an extraordinary figure when he was young.
At this moment, the old man was looking kindly at a young man kneeling in front of the bed.
The young man was dressed in cotton clothes and was about twenty years old.
He was thin, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He was very handsome.
At this moment, Bai Ze's face was filled with pain and self-blame.
He looked at the old man on the bed who was panting heavily because of the discomfort.
He stretched out his trembling hand, wanting to do something to relieve his pain, but the old man slightly tilted his head to avoid it.
The old man smiled lightly, his face full of relief.
"Silly child, don't blame yourself…"
"This is all fate. This old man…It's not your fault…"
The old man stuttered as if he had used a lot of strength to say this. He panted heavily again.
"Uh-huh…"
Suddenly, the old man grunted and his body trembled.
Bai Ze was also nervous.
Looking at the old man curled up in pain, his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
Strings of strange black runes slowly climbed up from the old man's neck.
The old man was sweating profusely. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to circulate his energy to resist the erosion of the strange runes.
However, this time, the strange runes were unusually fierce. No matter how the old man resisted, he could not slow down the pace of its invasion.
After a long while, the old man let out a sigh and completely gave up resisting, allowing the black rune to climb up his face.
His black and white face was filled with relief.
Seeing this, Bai Ze already understood the old man's thoughts.
A great sorrow rose in her heart, and tears began to brew in her eyes.
"Old Bai, don't die…"
"Old Bai…Old Bai?"
“... Grandpa Bai!"
Following the young man's heart-wrenching shout,
The corners of the old man's mouth curled up slightly. Then... He closed his eyes completely.
When the villagers outside heard this shout, their expressions were silent and sorrowful.
Some of them even started sobbing because they understood.
The old man who had guarded the village for decades had already passed away…
In the short room, Bai Ze's body stiffened and he froze on the spot.
A clear mechanical voice sounded in his mind."Ding! Great Qin's Human Slaughterer System is being activated…"
......
Xianyang City.
At the side of the majestic Xianyang Palace.
A majestic and beautiful palace rose from the ground.
Buildings and palaces rose from the ground, and thousands of pavilions were built.
Epang Palace!
It was night.
The moon hung high in the sky, and everything was silent.
Under the bright moonlight, the pavilions in Epang Palace were indistinct.
Suddenly, a figure ascended the tallest building in Epang Palace, Zhai Xing Lou!
Star Picking Tower, which was a hundred meters tall.
The middle-aged man had his hands behind his back. He was wearing a black and golden dragon robe and had the emperor's sword hanging at his waist.
His eyebrows were long and thin, his nose was like a hanging gallbladder, his lips were sharp like a sword, and his every move emitted a dignified aura.
At this moment, the middle-aged man looked up at the vast galaxy with a nostalgic expression.
After a long time, he sighed in disappointment,"It's been twenty years…"
......
Outside Epang Palace.
Zhang Han, the commander of the Shadow Secret Guards, was respectfully waiting outside the palace gates.
Even though he held an important position, he could only stop at the palace gate and could not take half a step inside.
He was responsible for protecting the Emperor's safety, but he could only watch the imposing figure from afar.
There was no other reason. In the entire world, only His Majesty could enter this palace.
Of course, nothing was absolute.
Thinking of this, Zhang Han revealed a nostalgic expression.
Perhaps…There was only one person in the world who was qualified to enter.
The premise was that the child was still alive…
......
It was a secret that only a few of the upper echelons of the empire knew.
Twenty years ago, His Majesty was still the son of the Qin country.
He fell in love with a beautiful woman named Afang.
Not long after, Fang became pregnant.
His Majesty loved and cared for Fang even more.
Until the day Fang gave birth, after she gave birth to a son, she died from the curse.
At that time, the former king had sensed that something was wrong and invited the experts of the Yin-Yang School to investigate.
After that, he concluded that the child was born with an ominous body.
It has a mysterious curse that will kill its loved ones.
When the former king heard this news, he was terrified.
In order to protect the country and the inheritance of the Qin country, he ordered the Yin-Yang School's experts to secretly get rid of the child without the Emperor's consent.
His Majesty first lost his beloved, and then his own flesh and blood were lost.
His entire personality began to change, and he no longer had any romantic feelings.
Instead, he was wholeheartedly devoted to the great cause of conquering the six countries.
In these 20 years, the Great Qin Empire led by His Majesty had broken through all corners of the world.
Everywhere he passed, bones piled up.
The living only had two choices, submit or die!
Until today, when the world was unified.
His Majesty had accomplished an unprecedented feat and stood at the peak of the empire's power.
However, it seemed like after that incident, Zhang Han had never seen the Emperor smile again.
......
Outside Epang Palace, Zhang Han was in a daze.
Looking at the deep starry sky, no one knew what he was thinking.
Suddenly, something happened.
A red light shone brightly in the sky.
His eyes turned red.
In the night sky, a huge red star suddenly shone brightly.
The dazzling light illuminated the entire land as if it was daytime. Then, it fell straight down with a long red tail and disappeared into the night sky.
" The meteorite fell. That's East County…"
Seeing such a strange scene, Zhang Han's eyes widened.
"Ta Ta Ta!" A series of footsteps sounded.
Ying Zheng had already walked down from Zhai Xing Lou and arrived outside Epang Palace.
He looked up at the night sky and narrowed his eyes. His majestic voice rang out,
"The phenomenon of the heavens and the earth is bound to cause something big to happen.”
"Zhang Han, I order you to investigate.”
"In addition, go to the Imperial Preceptor's residence and invite him to Xianyang Palace.”
"Yes, sir! Your Majesty!"
