In order to become a Heroic Spirit, I had no choice but to cause trouble in history.

After a long while, Xiang Yu shook his head, withdrew his imposing manner, and said with slight disappointment, "One day your emotions will make you make a mistake, Xiang An. We don't need such rich emotions."

"This is proof of my humanity, and even if it leads me to make mistakes, I cherish it immensely." With a cold snort, Xiang An withdrew his imposing aura.

As the aura dissipated, Ziying was finally able to breathe freely. He lay on his side, panting heavily.

Xiang An glanced at Xiang Yu, who no longer harbored any murderous intent, shook his head, and bent down to check on Zi Ying's condition.

"King Qin, I'm sorry to have startled you."

With a long sigh, Xiang An patted Ziying on the back.

Ziying coughed twice, then abruptly turned his head to look into Xiang An's eyes.

"General Xiang, General Xiang An, what you just said—"

Before he could finish speaking, Xiang Yu seemed to have found some kind of mechanism at the base of the wall of the Epang Palace. Without using any weapon, he punched it directly, causing an explosion.

Following the initial explosion came even more intense explosions. The massive and magnificent Epang Palace, to Ying Ziying's astonishment, was destroyed.

In an instant, flames soared into the sky, and the sound was like thunder. Fragments from the explosion, carrying billowing smoke, fell onto the palaces surrounding the Qin King's Palace.

"This, this, this..." Ying Ziying's eyes widened and his mouth gaped open.

"Don't worry, King Qin, there's no one in the Qin Palace right now. I had already ordered the evacuation of everyone in the Qin Palace before I came in." Xiang An stood up, arms crossed, looking at the exploded Epang Palace.

Xiang Yu was unharmed and had already returned.

"How did you fry it so easily?" Xiang An asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It was already in a semi-finished state. As long as we find a gap, it would be easy to destroy. If it were completed, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky to destroy it so easily." Xiang Yu shook his head, turned around, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Xiang An. He raised his head and admired the Epang Palace, which was still exploding, as if he were admiring fireworks.

“If it can really be completed, then the Central Plains won’t need us anymore,” Xiang An said with a smile.

Chapter 941 The Great Fire of Xianyang

The Epang Palace exploded, and everyone who had already evacuated outside the Qin King's Palace was stunned by the sight of the explosion, which shot straight into the sky like fireworks.

"What, what are my eldest and second brothers doing?!" Zijuan was checking the supplies in Xianyang City when she suddenly heard an explosion behind her. When she turned around, the flames from the explosion darkened the sky, and the black sky had already dyed the entire sky above Xianyang black.

"Third Brother!" Zijuan didn't dare to delay. She handed over her work to her subordinate Wei Hao and went to find Xiang Jing.

"Little Four, are Big Brother and Second Brother still inside?" Xiang Jing asked anxiously after finding Zi Juan.

Zijuan glanced at Xiang Jing, then at the still-exploding Epang Palace, and gritted her teeth: "Third Brother, let's go!"

"Hmm!" Xiang Jing's single eye reflected the firelight, revealing only anxiety. He and Zijuan headed straight for the Qin King's Palace.

Xiang Yu and Xiang An did not arrange for anyone to guard the Qin Palace, because their purpose in coming here was to destroy it, so defense was meaningless, and all the supplies inside the Qin Palace had already been moved out.

"Big brother—Second brother—!"

"!" They stormed into the Qin Palace without any hindrance, and Xiang Jing and Zi Juan called out anxiously.

They had absolute confidence in Xiang Yu and Xiang An's martial prowess, but this explosion was far more violent than the one caused by Yi Keneng. Even Xiang Yu and Xiang An probably wouldn't have escaped unscathed from such an explosion.

"Young ones, what brings you here?"

Xiang Jing and Zi Juan were frantically searching the Qin Palace for Xiang Yu and Xiang An when they saw the two brothers strolling out of an archway. Xiang An seemed to be carrying someone on his shoulder and was greeting Xiang Jing and Zi Juan with a blank expression.

Ziying's legs were still a bit weak and he couldn't walk for the time being, so Xiang An had to carry him.

"Big brother, second brother, are you... alright?" Xiang Jing hesitated, glancing nervously at the still blazing fire behind them, though the explosions had ceased. He shrank back slightly.

His one eye has excellent eyesight and an extraordinary sense of smell. The thick smoke and dust here made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Let's get out of here first. Arrange for some people to try and put out the fire when it gets smaller," Xiang Yu said, patting Xiang Jing on the shoulder. "That thing was mysterious; it has already been destroyed."

"Ah, oh..." Xiang Jing and Zi Juan nodded somewhat blankly. Before they could fully process what had happened, Xiang Yu and Xiang An led them away from the Qin Palace, which was engulfed in flames, and assigned them the task of putting out the fire.

The two elder brothers, who were the instigators of the fire at the Qin Palace, acted as if nothing had happened and ran off in another direction with Prince Ziying of Qin.

Not long after, a second loud explosion was heard in Xianyang City.

Then comes the third tone, and then the fourth tone.

No one in Xianyang can sleep well today.

......

In one night, the two brothers and Ziying bombed the entire city of Xianyang.

"Let's go see the Lishan Mausoleum tomorrow." Xiang Yu's expressionless words almost broke Ziying's composure.

"No, it's going to explode again?" Ziying slumped in the chair next to her, almost crying.

"It's not that it was blown up..." Xiang An scratched his head, feeling that something was not quite right.

"The entire city of Xianyang is almost burned down now, what are you doing..." Ziying cried, his voice filled with sobs and lamentations.

"It's not completely burned yet. I clearly remember that I only destroyed the mysterious artifact left by the First Emperor." Xiang Yu took a sip of water, his tone as calm as if he had just eaten a meal.

Meanwhile, in Xianyang outside the gate, the fire had not yet been extinguished.

Zijuan and Xiang Jing, along with many other feudal lords and generals, are almost exhausted.

Xiang Yu and Xiang An were like firecrackers in front, setting off one after another, burning down a whole area, and then they had to put out the fires.

Then Xiang Yu and Xiang An set fire to the entire city of Xianyang.

That's all for now, there's still half the city's fire to be extinguished, time to get back to putting out the fire.

Ziying looked at the city of Xianyang burning with raging flames, and silently watched Xiang Yu, who remained calm and continued with his business.

"Don't worry, although my brother and I acted a bit quickly, we shouldn't have hurt anyone." Xiang An also felt a little apologetic and offered a token reassurance to Ying.

Ziying looked at the raging fire, then at Xiang An, and finally let out a long sigh.

"Burn, burn it all. If only the sins that my Great Qin committed against the world could be burned away." He said, as if mocking himself, having lost all his strength, he lay back in the chair, looked at the ceiling, and sighed deeply.

After a long silence, Ziying straightened up with his hands: "Although I am now the ruler of the fallen Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu, Xiang An, may I ask you some questions?"

"There are some things that Ziying... must ask."

Dark circles hung over Ziying's bloodshot eyes as he stared at Xiang An and spoke.

He was somewhat afraid to look at Xiang Yu.

“I roughly understand what you want to ask, but there are some things that need to be made clear beforehand.” Xiang An shook his head, ignoring Xiang Yu. “King Qin, you are also a descendant of this bloodline. I saved you, so you cannot reveal what I told you.”

"After that, you should leave Xianyang and find a secluded place in the mountains to live in seclusion."

Ziying opened his mouth, but seeing Xiang An's serious gaze, he felt only disappointment.

"Well, this is... the best ending for me."

"General Xiang An, I just want to ask you, what exactly did you mean by what you said yesterday?"

“It means exactly what it says.” Xiang An glanced at Xiang Yu and, seeing that Xiang Yu didn’t make any further moves, continued, “Although I have now become human, the way I was born was not human.”

"My elder brother and I were created by the First Emperor before he conquered the six kingdoms, in order to stabilize the Central Plains and eliminate the threat from beyond the Great Wall. He and another magician, Xiang Chao, who recognized us as his own children and gave my elder brother and me human identities, were the 'saviors'."

"In other words, the way we were born is somewhat similar to the way we blew up those things."

"So..." Xiang An stroked his chin, his eyes showing a hint of thought, "It's not a problem to say that the First Emperor was another father to me and my elder brother?"

Ziying felt a slight headache, his eyes darting back and forth between Xiang Yu and Xiang An, wanting to say something but not knowing how to say it.

After struggling for a long time, he finally managed to utter a sentence.

"So, you are... the children of the Emperor's grandfather?"

Xiang An blinked, thought for a moment, and said, "I guess it counts, right? What do you think, brother?"

"You guys are really boring. If you have nothing to do, let's go to Mount Li right now." Xiang Yu didn't really want to participate in this topic, so he immediately stood up and walked towards the door.

Chapter 942 Xiong Xin's Plea

Xiang Yu and Xiang An did go to the Lishan Mausoleum, but they did not bomb it.

"There's no magic device..." Xiang Yu frowned, standing in the inner circle of the Lishan Mausoleum, taking in his surroundings, and muttered to himself in disbelief, "This shouldn't be..."

"Judging from this layout, it seems that the First Emperor intended to set up a magical device here." Xiang An was also examining everything around him. "Based on theoretical deduction, it was probably a large-scale magical freezing device... or something like that?"

"But it seems we didn't have time to set it up in the end."

"It should be, there really is no magic device." Xiang Yu shook his head and tapped on the components inside the Lishan Mausoleum.

“Truly a genius… No wonder Father is so devoted to serving the First Emperor.” Xiang An walked to Xiang Yu’s side. “If a magic freezing device of this scale were actually made, it might be able to extend the lifespan of the living by a thousand years.”

“But it wasn’t built.” Xiang Yu interrupted Xiang An’s thoughts and walked outside. “Xiang An, let’s go back. There’s nothing of value here. We need to check the area around Xianyang again to make sure that any possible mysteries have been destroyed.”

Looking at Xiang Yu's retreating figure, Xiang An felt as if a breath was stuck in his chest, unable to escape.

"Big brother, you..."

He swallowed the rest of his words, clenched his fist, and caught up with Xiang Yu.

......

"Brother, when do you plan to declare yourself emperor?"

The two brothers rode their horses across the open fields, searching for the mystery as they went. The feudal lords and generals were left in Xianyang to handle some matters. As for Ziying, he was exhausted and nearing his limit, so Xiang An hadn't planned to bring him along when they came to Lishan.

"I have already summoned all the feudal lords of the land." Xiang Yu did not directly answer Xiang An's question, but looked at Xiang An and Tuan Chi, and asked, "Do you really think I am suitable for the position of the ruler of the land?"

“What else?” Xiang An said matter-of-factly, a smile involuntarily appearing on his face. “I think you are the only choice, big brother.”

Xiang Yu looked into Xiang An's serious eyes, gritted his teeth, exhaled through his nose, and looked ahead.

There were some things he wanted to say, but if he did, Xiang An would probably never agree.

Xiang An will definitely prevent it from happening.

But our existence...

How could he possibly be suitable to become the ruler of humanity?

With a chuckle, Xiang Yu and Xiang An continued their search for the mysterious location.
