The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

"When I woke up, the meteorite had disappeared."

"After that, I went back and started having very long dreams."

"In my dream, I saw the past and future of this world, and thus understood many things, including what I was experiencing."

"It is said that in ancient times, this world was constantly at war, and the people suffered from natural disasters and the attacks of wild beasts, struggling to survive. It was at this time that a meteor streaked across the sky and fell on this world. In the crack left by the meteor streaking across the sky, a goddess descended from the sky. She was the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden. In the ruins, she saved a boy named Chi You. The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden taught Chi You and gave him divine weapons. Chi You gained great power and eventually became the king of the earth."

"This was the first apocalypse to occur in this world."

"Chi You, the God of War?" Ru Shuang was well-versed in history and knew the name of Chi You, the God of War, and also understood his fate. "As far as I know, Chi You was ultimately defeated by the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan at the Battle of Zhuolu."

"Yes."

Jiang Chuan nodded and continued, "After Chi You became king, the former dragon-slaying hero ultimately became the evil dragon himself. He replaced natural disasters and wild beasts as a man-made calamity. Because of his tyranny, the people suffered terribly. In the end, under the leadership of the Yellow Emperor, they fought against Chi You. But Chi You possessed divine revelation; how could the Yellow Emperor, who was just a mortal, possibly contend with him?"

"And so, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden descended upon this world for the second time, and the second revelation began."

"Perhaps because she learned from Chi You's lesson, this time the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden did not directly give the Yellow Emperor a divine weapon, but instead gave him a heavenly book, the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book."

"What kind of power you can obtain depends entirely on what you can comprehend from the Heavenly Book."

"It is obvious that the Yellow Emperor, as the ultimate victor, comprehended a sufficiently powerful force from the Yellow Stone Book. With the help of this force, he finally defeated Chi You. Afterwards, with the assistance of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, he sealed the divine weapon that Chi You possessed in the land of Loulan."

"If we have the opportunity in the future, we could go to Loulan to look for it."

Jiang Chuan made a joke to Ru Shuang, but only he knew how serious it was.

Although Ru Shuang didn't know where Loulan was, she still nodded.

At the same time, it also allowed me to learn about some ancient stories.

Chi You and the Yellow Emperor were renowned figures, and Ru Shuang was naturally aware of them, but she had never heard of these stories involving them before.

However, there was one thing she had indeed heard of.

"The Yellow Stone Heavenly Book, was it actually bestowed upon the Yellow Emperor by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden?"

"Legend has it that Jiang Ziya attained enlightenment in Qishan, which originated from this heavenly book."

“That’s true.” Jiang Chuan nodded. “It is said that this celestial book is hidden in times of prosperity and emerges in times of chaos. I wonder if we in the future will be fortunate enough to see it.”

He remembered that in the original story, Chu Nan Gong gave this heavenly book to Tianming. He wondered if the heavenly book had fallen into Chu Nan Gong's hands by now.

"Chi You and the Yellow Emperor rose to power after receiving divine revelation because of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden. So, my husband received the third divine revelation?" Ru Shuang returned to the original topic.

Although the idea of ​​an apocalypse is far-fetched, if the Yellow Emperor and Chi You in history rose to power in this way, it would be somewhat traceable and precedentable, so it is barely acceptable.

If I don't accept it, I really can't explain why my husband knows so much.

Perhaps this was also her stroke of luck.

It was because she met such an extraordinary man as her husband that her fate changed.

Thinking about this, Ru Shuang felt that taking away the rabbit that her husband had hunted was a very wise decision.

“Whether it is the third apocalypse, I don’t know either,” Jiang Chuan continued. “But I did see a glimpse of the future because of that incident, and it was based on these glimpses of the future that I persuaded my wife to come to this place, Xinzheng.”

"Similarly, perhaps it is because of the apocalypse that my body is so special."

What's so special about it? Ru Shuang thought for a moment and then knew.

It's really special.

At least, she had never seen anyone like Jiang Chuan, who could acquire another person's physique and quickly learn any martial art.

"The perilous situation the King of Qin encountered in Han is a glimpse of the future I've glimpsed. I don't know exactly what he will face, but I do know that after this ordeal, he will return to Xianyang, officially assume the throne, and then, like a dragon emerging from its abyss, soar to the heavens and reign supreme over the world." - Han Dynasty

Chapter 102 A High-Stakes Gamble

"So, this is the opportunity my husband was talking about?"

Ru Shuang gradually understood why Jiang Chuan had brought her to Xinzheng.

If what Jiang Chuan said is true.

This is indeed a great opportunity.

The King of Qin arrived in Xinzheng for unknown reasons and was assassinated by the Luo Wang organization. After this incident, he would obviously feel disgusted with the Luo Wang organization. If I, who had betrayed the Luo Wang organization, were to help the King of Qin, I would surely win the King's favor.

When the King of Qin ascends to heaven from his imprisoned state and takes control of the Qin state, he will naturally gain control of the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven).

With the King of Qin's help, escaping the net would not be difficult.

Ultimately, the rule that "the net can enter but not leave" only applies to the net organization itself.

But the King of Qin was outside the net of rules; he was the one who set the rules, and even the net of rules had to submit to the King of Qin.

"Yes."

Jiang Chuan nodded, frankly admitting, "Although it may seem opportunistic, at the moment, this is indeed our best chance to escape the snare."

Perhaps in the future, Jiang Chuan's strength will become powerful enough that even if the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) really attacks, he will have no fear.

After all, Jiang Chuan's cultivation speed is not slow either.

Since embarking on his cultivation journey, in just one year, he has gone from an ordinary person with no cultivation to a master of the innate realm. Given time, becoming a Grandmaster, a Great Grandmaster, or even a Celestial Being would not be a problem.

Jiang Chuan is still very confident about his future.

However, that is ultimately a matter for the future. As a person, one cannot only focus on the future; the present must also be taken into account.

Therefore, before he becomes strong enough, Jiang Chuan doesn't mind seeking protection and finding a backer.

King Ying Zheng of Qin is the best patron at the moment.

We can temporarily rely on the power of the King of Qin to escape the entanglement of the net.

Even if Luo Wang still harbored some ambitions, at least for the time being, he wouldn't dare to reveal them.

And what about the future?

Jiang Chuan is strong enough that he is not afraid of the Net.

The main reason for seeking Ying Zheng's help was to buy himself time to develop.

Ru Shuang's eyes flickered slightly, and then she agreed with Jiang Chuan's statement.

Instead of trying to evade the trap, it's better to solve the problem at its root.

If we can persuade the King of Qin to help us, then the net of entrapment will naturally not be a problem.

Of course, all of this has one prerequisite.

That is, the King of Qin could really, as Jiang Chuan said, overcome the calamities, rise from the ashes, and rule the world.

This is a high-stakes gamble, placing all hope on the King of Qin, who is about to face a life-or-death crisis.

But after a little thought, Ru Shuang ultimately decided to take the gamble.

Ultimately, she was an assassin for the Luo Wang organization.

In the past, when Luo Wang carried out missions, they were already dancing on the edge of a knife, doing all sorts of risky things.

If this gamble can secure a bright future for myself and Yan'er, then it's not a complete loss.

Moreover, even if one were to choose to invest in the King of Qin and help King Ying Zheng, it wouldn't necessarily mean cutting off all one's own escape routes.

It was merely offering assistance; it wasn't a matter of risking one's life to help the King of Qin.

Then, Ru Shuang thought of another question.

"The King of Qin is no ordinary person. No matter who ordered the Luo Wang to kill him, to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the person who carries out this mission must be no ordinary person. Does my husband know who is carrying out this mission?"

Jiang Chuan actually knew about this.

"The first-class Heavenly Rank of the Net, Xuan Jian!"

When the name Xuan Jian reached Ru Shuang's ears, her brows immediately furrowed.

"It turned out to be him!"

It was obvious that Ru Shuang had heard of Xuan Jian.

After all, they are all top-tier.

The Eight Swords of the King of Yue, according to the order in which they were forged, are ranked as follows: Xuan Jian is the fourth and Jing Ni is the fifth.

However, the order in which the sword is forged does not represent the strength of the sword wielder.

Xuan Jian's strength is among the best of all the top-tier talents in the Luo Wang organization.

He served as the top-ranking official in the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) for many years, and never failed in any of the many missions he carried out.

Before Ru Shuang became a top-ranked member of the Luo Wang organization, she had already heard of Xuan Jian's reputation. Later, after becoming a top-ranked member of the Luo Wang organization, she learned some things, namely, that something had happened to Xuan Jian that caused him to betray the Luo Wang organization for a time, and the sword in his hand was broken.

Even so, he still couldn't escape the snare.

When another top-ranking member of the Luo Wang organization, Yan Ri, brought him back, his sword was reforged. After that, Xuan Jian never betrayed the Luo Wang organization again and became a truly ruthless weapon driven by the Luo Wang organization.

This seems to illustrate a principle.

That means once you're caught in a trap, you'll be caught in a trap for life.

When Ru Shuang was still a top-tier member, she had no interest in learning about Xuan Jian's past. It wasn't until after she betrayed the Luo Wang organization that she couldn't help but think of Xuan Jian from the past.

She didn't understand what Xuan Jian had gone through to become like that.
