Although Wang Anzhi hasn't done things like trading Bitcoin or investing in the internet—things that are essential in urban rebirth novels—after his rebirth, he is indeed not short of money.

Xia Mi keeps a huge pile of ancient Roman gold coins, all of them pure gold, in the Nibelungen region of Beijing.

If it weren't for the fear of being discovered by a mixed-race family, Xia Mi wouldn't have lived such a difficult life in the original story.

Wait a minute, Wang Anzhi remembered Xia Mi's assets: a house in Beijing. That didn't seem so bad.

After Wang Anzhi and Xia Mi became acquainted and gained access to the Nuwa clan, Xia Mi began to occasionally withdraw gold coins from her private treasury, thus improving her quality of life.

Although the money was actually kept by Wang Anzhi, it all actually belonged to Princess Longnv.

Mr. Tang then began to recount the interesting stories about his nephew, Norton.

This child was unusual from a young age. While other children liked to play games together in twos and threes, he preferred to sit alone in the yard of his house and look up at the stars.

He also occasionally asks ultimate philosophical questions such as "Who am I?", "Where did I come from?", and "Where should I go?"

Of course, these are just some of the strange things, nothing more.

Even after growing up, Lao Tang didn't change at all. He had almost no social interactions and didn't make a single close friend from elementary school to high school.

Immediately afterwards, he entered society.

That's right, Lao Tang failed to get into university. Ten years ago, getting into university was still a relatively difficult thing.

Hearing this, Xia Mi laughed inwardly, feeling that she had another reason to mock Norton when they met.

The mighty King of Bronze and Fire couldn't even pass the human college entrance exam.

Boss Tang continued talking. Later, Old Tang somehow came into contact with the Internet. At that time, the Internet was truly booming, and Old Tang was one of the earliest Internet users.

It was from then on that Mr. Tang noticed that his nephew's personality had changed. He would sneak away for days at a time, saying he was going out to work, but what kind of work only lasts a few days? And yet, he still managed to earn quite a bit of money.

Afterwards, Mr. Tang's elder brother and sister-in-law passed away one after another. After observing a moment of silence, Mr. Tang let go of his inhibitions and chose to go to New York, USA.

He even claimed that it was his home, where he could find his mission.

The result? Naturally, it was the opposite of what was intended.

The absence of any trace of the King of Bronze and Fire in New York indirectly prolonged Norton's awakening. He should have stayed in the Three Gorges, retracing his own path back to the place of his birth.

Unfortunately not.

The "Kuimen Project" at Kassel College was not a sudden undertaking; with a secrecy level of "S", it was a top priority for Kassel College from the very beginning.

It's just that the conditions weren't agreed upon in previous years, and there wasn't a sudden earthquake that brought the Bronze City, buried 200 meters underwater, to the surface.

In the original plan, the "Kuimen Project" was likely to be a protracted undertaking.

After listening to Old Tang's amusing anecdotes, Xia Mi suddenly interrupted Boss Tang's endless narration with a smile and asked, "Boss Tang, I wonder where your nephew has settled down now?"

With a heart full of righteous indignation, Boss Tang gave an address without hesitation. He had just called his nephew to tell him to move and not to tell him the new address after the move, so he had no psychological burden at all.

It would take at least a day to get from here to New York, by which time his nephew would have long since flown away.

Mr. Tang couldn't help but feel pleased with his own little scheme.

Little did Xia Mi know that she already knew all this, and she watched Boss Tang leave.

Before leaving, Mr. Tang remarked that a child had also come here before, just like you all. He sat here carving wood carvings for an entire afternoon before leaving.

These words made Xia Mi's eyes narrow instantly. Norton was far away, a tough nut to crack, while Constantine was right in front of her, a piece of meat that made her mouth water!

On the other hand, Wang Anzhi paid no attention to Norton's amusing affairs; he was focused on playing with the carving knife in his hand, cutting the wood carving stroke by stroke.

The Word of Power: Heavenly Evolution helped him, enabling him to sculpt the most suitable image using the most accurate methods.

It wasn't until he heard Boss Tang's last words that Wang Anzhi accidentally missed a stroke, the carving knife cutting his finger and drawing a drop of blood.

Xia Mi noticed this and took out a handkerchief from her bosom, handing it to him. She said in an annoyed tone, "Senior brother, how could you be so careless?"

“There’s nothing I can do, I just heard about Constantine,” Wang Anzhi replied.

In fact, he thought about it more deeply. He looked at Xia Mi and said, "It is an indisputable fact that Constantine has been here, and that photograph is proof of that."

He paused, then said, "Besides, this photo was taken by the Bai family, but how could they be so sure that the little boy and the man behind him are Constantine and his dragon servant?"

Xia Mi listened quietly to the doubts raised by Wang Anzhi, and asked in return, "So, what do you think, Senior Brother?"

“Something must have happened here,” Wang Anzhi felt the wound wrapped in the handkerchief Xia Mi handed him begin to heal gradually, and he could even hear the sound of flesh writhing.

“But we don’t know anything,” Xia Mi added.

"Yes! We don't know anything right now. This Boss Tang is just an ordinary person. We can't get anything out of her."

Wang Anzhi smiled and said, "The matter between the Bai family and Qin Wuyi is even more interesting. I just don't know whether the photo was taken by Qin Wuyi's people or by the Bai family. They actually chose to share this secret because of a phone call from a daughter who married out of the country."

Xia Mi had also thought of these things, but she didn't say much. She glanced at the already darkening sky, dozed off, and looked at Wang Anzhi.

At this point, she was actually less anxious.

Xia Mi skipped away from the room. "Senior brother, let's leave tomorrow's matters for tomorrow! I'm going to rest now. Staying up late is a woman's worst enemy."

Looking at the completed wood carving in his hand, Wang Anzhi noticed a resemblance between the girl and the departed one. Unfortunately, his limited skills prevented him from achieving a true likeness, even with the blessing of the Word of Power: Heavenly Evolution.

After thinking for a moment, he put down the wooden carving, walked to the bedside, and ended the day's fatigue.

at the same time.

As Wang Anzhi finally fell asleep, lines of subtitles appeared in his eyes as always.

Wang Anzhi had no doubts whatsoever. The [Heaven's Mandate] instance was activated when he met Constantine in the Bronze City and Constantine threw the Seven Deadly Sins at him.

However, at that time, his spiritual deficiencies had not yet been addressed, which is why Wang Anzhi did not choose to open the instance.

Only now have we chosen to delve into this history.

As expected, the timeline is set in the era of Emperor Guangwu of Han, Liu Xiu, which also coincides with Constantine's vague sense of familiarity with him.

……

"Xiu, I've decided to raise an army. What do you think?"

Looking at his younger brother, who seemed dazed, Liu Yan's golden pupils burned even brighter, filled with the gleam of ambition.

The Han dynasty ruled for two hundred years, but it perished in one fell swoop due to "abdication." Wasn't this his chance?

This was the third year of the reign of Emperor Dihuang, later known as 22 AD, 13 years after Wang Mang usurped the Han throne.

Over the course of 13 years, this self-proclaimed "saint" emperor of the new dynasty fought campaigns in the north and south, suffering defeat after defeat. Whether it was forcing the Xiongnu in the north to rebel or the barbarians in the south, or increasing the exploitation of the powerful clans within the country and reluctantly letting the refugees go unpunished.

All of this led to the near-extinction of this emperor, whose reign lasted only one generation.

The Red Eyebrows and Green Forest rebels rose up one after another, and the entire Guandong region, from south to north, was in turmoil.

In Liu Yan's view, this was nothing short of having the perfect combination of favorable timing, location, and popular support.

At this time, his third brother Liu Xiu had just returned from graduating from the Imperial Academy in Chang'an and had a deeper understanding of the Emperor of Chang'an and the new dynasty, which is why he asked the question at this moment.

Liu Xiu appeared quite calm; his elder brother's outburst about the "Nine Clans Elimination Game" did not move him at all.

He looked around and saw that all the "heroes" that his elder brother Liu Yan had made friends with were not afraid of what he said. Instead, they seemed eager to try.

Liu Xiu knew the background of these people. Most of them were "vagrants" or "hooligans" who were not literate and had little knowledge. Their only assets were a fierce and ruthless nature and a reputation for murder and escape.

In peaceful times, these people wouldn't amount to much, but chaotic times are precisely the time for them to stir up trouble.

So he calmly asked, "I wonder how many men you can gather, brother?"

"Three thousand," Liu Yan said through gritted teeth.

In fact, if the powerful clans of Nanyang were hostile to him, he might have had a hard time gathering these three thousand people.

At this time, Nanyang had not experienced any war. The most recent band of outlaws had just been wandering around the southern part of Nanyang and posed no threat to the core prosperous area of ​​Nanyang.

"Brother, do you know where Nanyang is located?" This time, Liu Xiu did not wait for Liu Yan's answer and said to himself, "To the north, it leads directly to Luoyang; to the south, it leads to Jingchu; to the west, it leads to Guanzhong; and to the east, it leads to the Central Plains."

This is the heart and soul of the nation; the court must not treat it lightly.

Looking into the eyes of his elder brother, who was destined to die young, Liu Xiu said, "Chang'an can mobilize 200,000 troops to besiege Nanyang. Is elder brother prepared?"

Liu Yan fell silent, and the group of clamoring heroes around him also calmed down. Only his brother-in-law, Deng Chen, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, one of the heroes stepped forward, full of resentment, "According to Sanlang, isn't now the time to raise an army?"

Liu Xiu was the third son in his family, and could also be called Liu Ji. He looked at the man who had spoken and said loudly:

"No, now is the time to raise an army."

He walked to the center of the crowd, took his brother-in-law Deng Tong's hand, and said to Liu Yan, "Brother, you need to support three thousand people, but where will the food for these three thousand people come from? I am willing to go south to Xinye and Wancheng with my brother-in-law to raise food for you."

Chapter 145 Prophecy

On the carriage heading to Xinye.

The carriage swayed back and forth, the sound of its wheels the only noise on this silent land.

War had not yet reached this land, but merchants had already vanished without a trace.

“Sanlang,” Deng Chen said, sitting in the carriage, looking back to the north, where Caiyang was, the place they had come from.

Deng Chen remained silent the entire way; he was still angry.

He originally thought it was just a regular family visit, but he inexplicably ended up taking on the responsibility of procuring food for the rebels.

However, compared to him, Liu Xiu, sitting next to him, appeared much calmer. Finally, Deng Chen couldn't hold back any longer and asked:

"Are not you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?" Liu Xiu asked in return.

"Do you really think Bosheng can succeed?" Deng Chen asked in a low voice.

Bosheng was the courtesy name of Liu Yan, the elder brother of Liu Xiu.
