The Warrior of Love

Although it was generally a sublimation, all thoughts and theories that threatened the emperor were naturally abandoned, and the Mohist thought was the most severely suppressed...

When I was chatting with this teacher before, I accidentally revealed some knowledge that was only circulated in pan-human history, and as a result, I got entangled with him.

I admire Confucianism and Taoism, and my understanding of Mohism is only superficial. I just use the wisdom of the past to deal with him... I am ashamed of it."

This was just a minor incident, and no one paid much attention to it. As they continued along, many residents of the town came to greet Chen Gong. Almost all the women, old and young knew him. It seemed that this great military strategist had been active in the Lostbelt for a long time...

"Here we are. You can come and have a look."

In an open space in the center of the town, there stands a lonely stone tablet half a person's height.

It is unknown what material it is made of, nor what carving techniques were used. The entire stone tablet looks completely natural, with no traces of chiseling or axe. There is only a mirror-smooth surface and faintly visible text.

“This is the First Emperor.”

"what?"

Jiang Liu frowned and looked at Chen Gong in confusion like everyone else, waiting for his explanation, even doubting whether he was joking.

"I am not lying to you. Just put your hand on it and you will understand." Chen Gong said with a smile.

At this time, many residents came to see the stranger out of curiosity. Quite a crowd had gathered around. Jiang Liu looked around and in order to finish it quickly and avoid attracting more attention, he took the lead.

"What on earth are you playing at..."

Jiang Liu glanced at Chen Gong, who was smiling mysteriously, and hesitated for a moment, but still placed his hand on the surface of the stone tablet.

hum!

At that moment, Jiang Liu seemed to feel a weak electric current passing through his body. Magic fluctuations came from the stone tablet, and symbols, words, and integrated circuit-like array patterns lit up.

Swish!

A shadow about four or five meters high was projected above the stone tablet. Jiang Liu had to take a few steps back to see the whole picture, which was actually a tall figure sitting there with unclear facial features.

Jiang Liu narrowed his eyes slightly, and at this moment, the words on the stone tablet suddenly disappeared, and several Qin seal characters appeared under the throne of the tall figure.

Chen Gong once said that the people of the empire had already used a simplified version of seal script, but the more obscure early Qin seal script was still used in formal occasions.

It was not difficult for Jiang Liu to understand what it meant.

"Prison warden", "knowledge", "pharmacology", "farming", "engineering", "rituals and laws", "calendar"...

Jiang Liu was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned around and stared at Chen Gong.

The Grand Military Advisor stopped smiling and said solemnly, "There are no 'officials' or 'nobles' in this world. All case trials, agricultural activities, personnel transfers, and even seeking medical advice...

Everything is determined by AI that has copied the knowledge and behavioral logic of the "First Emperor", that is, these stone tablets!

And in the distant imperial capital, the First Emperor's body used this to convey his orders to every corner of the empire. This was his "supreme rule."

The First Emperor Ying Zheng... He is not the ruler of this Lostbelt - he has become the concept of "rule" itself! "

Chapter 952: Weird History

This Lostbelt is more troublesome than India!

——This is Jiang Liu’s most intuitive feeling.

It’s not that the First Emperor and his subordinates are so terrifying in terms of combat power. In fact, although we have not seen Ying Zheng himself yet, the power limit of the Type-Moon world is here.

Brahman and Atman are one. Arjuna is already close to the top. There are people who are stronger than him, but I estimate that there are no more than a handful of people.

Theoretically speaking, even if he had obtained the legacy of the immortals, the First Emperor would not be stronger than the fully divine Arjuna and the beast of mercy o Goetia, and the "generals" under him are currently only at the servant level.

What really makes Jiang Liu feel difficult is that the First Emperor has a powerful ruling power over the world that goes beyond the level of faith!

He is not a god that is believed in, but he has penetrated into every aspect of society more deeply than gods, becoming something like air and water.

Since birth, the people have enjoyed the convenience of immortal technology and have been free from the threats of hunger and cold. The knowledge and ideas they have received while growing up have also been selectively passed down, which will only further consolidate the rule of the "Son of Heaven".

They will not be oppressed, but they will not be allowed to be ambitious either.

There is no need to make your own choices, just hand over everything to the "First Emperor" and then follow his orders.

In a sense, this is a utopia, a more complete, reasonable and stable utopia than the Indian Lostbelt.

however……

"Lixiang's choice is correct. We do need to cooperate with the First Emperor."

Jiang Liu took a deep breath, then shook his head gently: "No matter how strong Arjuna is, he is just an individual, and it doesn't matter if he is replaced, but the First Emperor is equivalent to the system and order of the entire society, and it can even be said that he is civilization itself.

Wanting to abandon the Emperor and conquer this Lostbelt, or relocate the residents on a large scale... that's impossible."

"And the population size of the Lostbelt is very exaggerated. Although large-scale wars throughout the ages have caused considerable casualties, the First Emperor used drastic measures to restore order and make his own ideas the thoughts of the people of the world...

But even so, the population here is still no less than the pan-human history, probably more than 6 billion people..."

Chen Gong shook his head: "To be honest, just seeing this number makes my head feel dizzy. At the end of the Han Dynasty, I also saw the miserable scene when Dong Zhuo moved the capital...

The migration of hundreds of thousands of people is already unforgettable for me, let alone the migration of billions. Even if you are not a demon king like Dong Zhuo, you cannot properly handle an event of this magnitude. "

Ritsuka remained silent and nodded slowly.

She did have some leadership skills, after all, she was a Master recognized by many heroes in human history. However, she only had experience in commanding small-scale battles, and she had never had more than ten people under her command. It was beyond her limit to stop a group of hundreds or thousands of people, not to mention this scale...

In fact, from the mythological era to the present, no king has ever had such a vast land and hundreds of millions of people as Qin Shihuang in the Lostbelt. Even if Shan Shan was brought here, he would still have to stare at billions of humans!

Being able to get so many humans to accept the same command and do something collectively——

Apart from the First Emperor, who transformed himself into millions of people and extended his power to the village and town level, I really can't think of anyone else.

"By the way, can the stone tablet here be connected to the body of the First Emperor?" Jiang Liu looked at the stone tablet thoughtfully.

Chen Gong seemed to be able to guess what he was thinking and shook his head: "In theory, they are connected, but the stone tablet itself is an AI that can think independently. For most common things, there is no need to bother the First Emperor. The stone tablet itself is enough to retrieve knowledge and solve problems.

In fact, the connection between the stone tablet and the imperial capital can basically be said to be one-way, with the first emperor issuing orders to the stone tablet here. There are only very few exceptions. "

"Oh, so there is still a way to connect to the First Emperor?" Jiang Liu's eyes lit up.

"Yes, yes..."

Chen Gong hesitated for a moment, then continued, “If a devastating disaster occurs that the town itself cannot handle, then we can submit an application to the imperial capital, and then the Great Wall will send down a general to deal with it.

Also, if there is "wisdom" in a certain field, that is, innovative technology, poetry, or scientific theory, it can be connected to the First Emperor through the stone tablet, and the technology can be presented to him, and at the same time, he can receive unimaginable gifts. "

"Wisdom?" Jiang Liu was slightly stunned, but he came to his senses after a little thought.

The First Emperor has ruled the world for thousands of years and has long experienced the ultimate in material enjoyment. He believes that nothing in this world can tempt him.

Then the only thing he can pursue is probably something like the truth of the universe...

Jiang Liu and Lixiang looked at each other and nodded: both Chaldea and Jiang Liu himself possessed technologies that the First Emperor had never seen before, and there was a chance to talk directly with the First Emperor.

"Well, let me try how to operate this stone tablet first."

In any case, it is an AI that imitates the "First Emperor". Connecting with it might be dangerous. Jiang Liu did not let Ritsuka or Mashu do it, but operated the inscription himself.

It just so happens that he can use this opportunity to learn about the unique civilization and technology tree of this anomalous zone. After all, like the First Emperor, he also has a means of storing "wisdom" - the "Book of the Original Universe".

Jiang Liu pressed the stone tablet and slowly closed his eyes. A series of information flowed into his mind in the form of words and pictures.

Even though ordinary people are nourished by the immortal energy and have stronger physical abilities than ordinary people in all aspects, they still cannot afford such exaggerated information transmission. If Jiang Liu had not been prepared, he might have been dizzy for a while.

"Hmm? This is the history of the Lostbelt... and the process of institutional change?"

Jiang Liu calmed his mind and began to study this field seriously.

The First Emperor did not rule the world from the beginning. Even with the help of immortals, it took him several centuries to become the world's sole overlord.

As for the ways and methods of governing a country... when a country is just one of the seven countries, when the country has unified the nine provinces, and when the country has pacified the world... they are naturally different.

The empire's system has also undergone many significant changes, and the triggers are almost always internal rebellions.

For example, one of them is:

[In the 17th year of Qianyuan, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang launched a rebellion in Yunmengze. For a time, they attacked cities and conquered territories with great momentum, but were later suppressed. Since then, corvée labor has gradually decreased. ]

However, whether it was rebellion or foreign enemies, they were all crushed by the First Emperor's overwhelming military strength...

Chapter 953: Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng

This is a vast and endless dark sea of ​​stars. In the unknown mystery, there are points of light of various colors flickering faintly, but it seems illusory to reach out and touch them.

Jiang Liu appeared here naked, frowned slightly and looked around. Just when he didn't know what to do next, a beam of light shone on him from the depths of the dark area. The cold and pale white light penetrated Jiang Liu's "body" like moonlight, and swept over him carefully and slowly as if looking for something.

However, this ray of light is destined to gain nothing. Even if it is just a body of thought, Jiang Liu's soul strength will not change. If he doesn't want to, no one can "see through" him.

【warn! 】

A mechanical voice appeared out of nothingness.

[Unknown fault discovered! Warning! Identity verification failed, no imperial household registration, no historical records - Warning! Level 1 alert...]

The voice gradually became lower as it spoke, and finally disappeared completely.

Instead, the brightness of the entire starry sky began to increase, slowly changing from the all-consuming darkness to the clear blue, just like coming from the deep sea to the shallow sea, and the scattered stars around made this world look incomparably beautiful and magical.

hum!

Auroras gathered from all directions of the sea of ​​stars and converged into a huge sphere with a radius of one hundred meters in front of Jiang Liu. It was wrapped in colorful auroras like a cyclone, but through the gaps in this outer layer, one could still see that there was a slowly rotating earth model inside.

Golden spots of light were scattered on the surface like golden sand, and Jiang Liu understood at a glance: those were stone tablets located all over the world, and were also the basis for the First Emperor's rule.

"Is this the 'Huan Tian Zai Yi' that Chen Gong mentioned?" Jiang Liu murmured.

"Yes and no."

A calm but powerful voice came from behind: "This is the projection of the seismograph. Its main body is as big as a palace."

Jiang Liu's expression changed, and he turned around without any surprise, and sure enough, he saw a majestic figure standing there.

The man didn't look very special. He was wearing a dark robe and was about thirty years old. His pair of dark eyes stared at Jiang Liu indifferently.

His appearance can only be described as "handsome". In Chaldea, where the ratio of handsome men to beautiful women is extremely high, there are people with better looks than him...but no matter which Heroic Spirit they are, they do not have the wonderful aura that the man in front of them exudes.

It was something difficult to describe, like a mixture of leadership qualities and divinity, but it was much more complicated than that, and even Jiang Liu could not describe it accurately.

Among the people he had met, there were many wise and powerful monarchs, and even kings who ruled the divine world, but this man's temperament was different from them all.

If I have to say something, it would be that I am naturally superior to others, I will be the focus wherever I am, and I am extremely confident and calm.

Standing in the sea of ​​stars, he seemed to be the center of the entire world. Even Jiang Liu was distracted for a moment.

Is this the aura that an "emperor" who has ruled the world for a thousand years should have?

"Greetings to His Majesty the First Emperor."

In terms of status, Jiang Liu didn't need to salute him, but out of respect for the ancestor of China, he still bowed slightly and greeted him sincerely.

"I am the Chaldean River Stream."

"Chaldea... Really? Are you the ones mentioned in the prophecy? So, the fairy didn't deceive me after all."

With his slender eyes slightly narrowed, the First Emperor Ying Zheng said as he looked at Jiang Liu.

"Yesterday, it seems that several of my "Generals" were destroyed. Was it you who did it?"

"Yes." Jiang Liu hesitated for a moment, "But we are defending ourselves--"

"It doesn't matter. They are just a few puppets. Even if all the "Generals" are destroyed, it will only take time to reproduce. However, being able to defeat the "Generals" is enough to prove your talent."

Ying Zheng smiled confidently and spoke in a tone that brooked no refusal.

"Abandon your world and become my subject!"

"What?" Jiang Liu was confused for a moment.

"Don't you understand? It means joining my army and becoming a part of the Qin Empire."

"No no no, I know what it means...but why did you invite us?"

Jiang Liu blinked. "Let me just say this - we are now on opposite sides. Although we are not real enemies, only one of Pan-Human History and Lostbelt can survive in the end... We are on the side of Pan-Human History."

"That's why I asked you to abandon that place."

The First Emperor said calmly: "But don't worry, I will not let you become homeless. You will only abandon your hometown in form. Your family, old friends, and colleagues can all join the Qin.

Even more, one day I will comprehend the secret of the realm, open the portal connecting the two worlds, and move all the inhabitants of pan-human history to Daqin, and make them all my subjects!"

Jiang Liu: “…”

"You look surprised."
