I really didn't want to burn it.

Li Ang narrowed his eyes.

"Anyway, you'll know tomorrow, Grand Preceptor, so there's no rush, right? Impatient men are disliked by women, you know~"

Koyanskaya's words were full of provocation.

Li Ang simply picked up his teacup to signal that the guest was to leave.

"Well then, see you next time, Your Excellency!"

Koyanskaya hummed a little tune as she walked out of the reception room, looking to be in a good mood.

Li Ang didn't know whether the mother fox was in a good mood or not, but he himself was in a really bad mood.

Actually, during the conversation just now, Li Ang had considered keeping the fox.

But finally gave up.

Unfortunately, despite sharing the same surname, Li Ang did not possess the extraordinary skills of Grandpa Li.

Moreover, in the original game, Grandpa Li was able to successfully ambush his opponent largely because the female fox had used her ultimate skill and had no chance to dodge.

If that provokes the female fox to reveal her health bar, then things will get really interesting.

Consumed by rage, Li Ang could only check the system pop-up.

result……

[Ding! System detected a world bug; currently downtime]

"Damn system, WQNMD!"

Chapter 3 Xiang Yu: I Once Believed in Science

"Damn your sister! You're kidding me!"

Having traveled through so many worlds with it, Li Ang knew all too well the nature of his system.

It's obvious that they realized something was wrong and were planning to quit.

"Damn system! You dog system! You dead system! Come out here! Stop pretending to be dead! You've got the guts to let me travel through time, but you're not capable of finding out the truth?"

Faced with Li Ang's increasingly offensive and abusive roars, the system finally gave in.

[Ding! System search complete. Resuming service to the host.]

The electronic voice sounded again, this time with a hint of flattery.

"Go ahead and install the mourning system."

Li Ang picked his nose, his face full of disgust and contempt.

He figured it out; the system must have messed up somewhere, otherwise it wouldn't be acting so humbly.

The last time the system spoke to Li Ang in this tone was back in the Tang Dynasty.

That time, the system confidently assured Li Ang that after completing the Tang Dynasty instance, he could travel back home.

The result...

The fact that Li Ang is still active in the Qin Dynasty shows that the system broke its promise.

"What exactly is going on? System, explain yourself clearly!"

Li Ang slammed his fist on the table and questioned him.

[The world the host traveled through was grafted into the Type-Moon universe by an unknown force and turned into a singularity.]

"what?!"

In terms the host can understand, it means the host has been manipulated, and the timeline you experienced has been taken over by someone else.

"What?!"

Li Ang was furious; he never expected such a thing to happen.

[There's no way around it, host. The worlds you've experienced are just too perfect to be turned into singularities. All we need to do is give it a slight push on the already skewed path—place the Holy Grail in.]

The system explained to Li Ang.

[While you're being targeted by everyone, you can stay behind the scenes and watch the show. Isn't that a time-saving and effortless way to avoid getting attacked?]

"Depend on!"

Li Ang let out a curse.

So all these years he's been traveling through time have been spent working for free?!

It would be a miracle if Li Ang, a seasoned time traveler, could tolerate this!

As for who the mastermind behind this was, Li Ang could guess even with a snap of his fingers.

It's either Boss Gai or that vixen; this mess is definitely related to those beasts.

Rather than seeking revenge on the culprits, Li Ang was more concerned with how to extricate himself from this chaos.

Therefore, Li Ang presented his guess to the system.

"Can the Holy Grail separate the Qin Dynasty from other worlds on the Type-Moon timeline?"

I'm afraid... that won't work.

The system directly refuted Li Ang's statement.

The Holy Grail is merely a source of power; it can facilitate the formation of singularities, but it cannot separate two spacetimes that have been cut together.

"Isn't the Holy Grail used to repair singularities?"

[Ding! Host, you didn't pay attention to the storyline when you played the game, did you?]

This mourning system...

Li Ang felt the intense contempt emanating from his own system.

Finding the Holy Grail does not equate to correcting the singularity; these are two different concepts.

Repairing the singularity requires Chaldea to erase any influences that would significantly alter the course of history at this stage. Their retrieval of the Holy Grail is merely to prevent the singularity from reappearing.

[However, most of the time, the holder of the Holy Grail is the one who causes major changes in history, which is why these two things happen simultaneously.]

Li Ang now understood why Chaldea had come to attack him tonight.

By charging into the tower, you can not only correct the damage but also obtain the Holy Grail, allowing you to clear the entire dungeon in one go.

Unfortunately, Li Ang didn't have a Holy Grail, only a Confession System.

"Is there any way to separate the timeline I've experienced from the Type-Moon universe?"

【…】

The system remained silent.

Li Ang immediately became furious and tapped the pop-up window with his finger at an extremely fast speed.

"Damn it, System, you're playing dead again! Screw that, get up and get to work!"

[Host, you are now a person of status and position; please refrain from using foul language.]

The system view tried to change the subject, but Li Ang wasn't buying it.

"Are you going to tell me or not?!"

There's no way around it.

"What do you mean?"

The system doesn't know how the other party performed the spacetime fusion, so it can't provide a way to separate them.

In short, I cannot do it.

"Mourning System, what use are you to me!"

Li Ang immediately lost his temper.

[Host, if you're so capable, then give back all the benefits you've received from this system, such as the metallurgical technology, the blueprints for the curved plow, the papermaking process, etc., before you say this.]

"..."

Speechless, Li Ang could only let out a loud snort and complain helplessly, "This damn system always crashes at crucial moments."

DD happened to hear this as he walked in.

"Master, is something broken in the house?"

"No, I just made that up."

Li Ang waved his hand, indicating that everything was alright.

He glanced at the dawn breaking in the sky and abandoned his plan to go back to his room to sleep.

It wasn't because Li Ang's bedroom exploded.

His house is very big, and there are other rooms where you can sleep.

Li Ang didn't want to disrupt his sleep schedule, so he decided to wait until he returned from court before going to sleep.

Anyway, Li Ang is young (forever 20 years old), so he can endure it for a long time.

Li Ang said to the maid, "I'm hungry. Make me some noodles. After I eat, I'll go to A-Yu's house and go to court with him."

"Hey, Master, you've decided to do this at this time?"

The maid blushed, but she still consciously reached for her skirt...

Snapped.

Li Ang delivered a karate chop to DD's forehead.

"What nonsense are you thinking? I'm talking about midnight snacks. Go to the kitchen and cook some noodles right now!"

"Also, remember to cook a bowl for that girl named Mashu too, don't let her go hungry."

——————————————Divider Line——————————————————————

The morning sun shines on the straight roads of Xianyang, illuminating this vibrant and energetic city.

Xiang Yu, the General of Chariots and Cavalry of the Qin Empire, had already gotten up early.

With the help of his maids, he put on his official robes and carefully fastened the sword that symbolized his status to his waist.

Then, Xiang Yu stood in front of the bronze mirror and looked at himself in the mirror.

Xiang Yu, in the prime of his life, was full of vigor, his eyes radiating boundless fighting spirit.

After admiring his own heroic bearing, Xiang Yu placed his hand on the sword at his waist with satisfaction and praised in a low voice, "Truly worthy of me, indeed the number one general of Qin. This time I must persuade my adoptive father to give me a spot in the northern expedition."

The main topic of today's court meeting was decided long ago: to launch a northern expedition against the Xiongnu.

Xiang Yu naturally hoped that he could be one of the soldiers going to war.

Of course, he could forget about commanding the three armies; that position had already been internally decided for Xiang Yu's godfather, Li Ang.

As the saying goes, your father will always be your father, and your uncle will always be your uncle.

Xiang Yu didn't have the guts to compete with his father for the throne, but he did have the courage to follow his father to the north and bully the nomadic younger brothers.

As the most reckless man in the Qin Empire (according to Li Ang), Xiang Yu had been so bored in recent years that his balls were aching. He desperately wanted to go to the grasslands and have a fight.

There was no way around it; Xiang Yu's greatest pleasure was riding his black horse and leading his men to find people to fight.

Unfortunately, as the Qin Empire grew stronger, Xiang Yu fought fewer and fewer battles.

The Xiongnu are currently the only force that Qin can truly consider a rival.

If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever.
