Chapter 700: The Door of Truth (1)
[Because the combat power of this template is relatively balanced with the combat power of other templates in this world, the title of Savior is temporarily invalid. Your combat power will increase at a normal rate.]
Matching successful. In this parallel world, you are known as the First Emperor of pan-human history, the first ruler to pacify the world, and the King of the Third Lostbelt. You built the Great Wall, fought against barbarians, conquered the six kingdoms, unified the written language and the wheel gauge, and ruled the eternal Qin Empire. Your merits and demerits are beyond human comprehension, and generations to come will judge them. But all Chinese people will remember your name, history will record you, and people will praise you. Even if history is obscured by time, the world will have gained countless wise and powerful rulers. Even if time passes and the empire is gone, it is because you are Zulong, the first and original emperor.
When you realize the truth about the Third Lostbelt being the Scissor Phenomenon (Note: Scissor Phenomenon is simply a group of parallel worlds that stray too far from the main path), and by chance you travel to a new world as a first human, rather than a mechanical body, what changes will you bring to this world? Wait and see.
[The current world exploration level is 0%. When the exploration level reaches 66.7%, you will have the permission to open the next map. Please pay attention to yourself as a fellow traveler.]
[When you die in this simulation, the game ends.]
[Note: Since this time travel is a hidden confrontation mode, you cannot freely choose the time of travel, and the location is random.]
[Note: The template character has strong subjective initiative. The First Emperor Zhou Ning's camp is Lawful Neutral. You cannot control their actions at all.]
[Since your current simulation tendency is Lawful Neutral, the benefits of this map will receive an additional 50% bonus.]
[Ridging the time machine…1%…33%…65%…95%…whoosh…travel completed.]
[There are three templates for this time travel. The game ends after killing the other three.]
You randomly traveled to Xianyang in 2014. From this moment on, the wheel of history began to turn.
On June 2014, 6, you opened your eyes to find yourself in a strange city. Even more surprising, you were no longer a man-made immortal sitting on a golden throne, but a real person of flesh and blood.
You once reached the pinnacle of human existence, completely overcoming the human weakness of selfish desire and malice, conquering death and transcending yin and yang. You also unified the world, spending 2000 years building the immortal Qin Empire. At the same time, you constructed the -li (-kilometer) Great Wall in low-Earth orbit, guarding against alien enemies from outer space.
[Though these haven't traveled with you now, you can still sense their presence. The powerful Eternal Qin Empire still exists somewhere in time and space, but it can't be manifested in your current mortal body. Your current situation is quite unique. Although you have a human body, you can sense that your status is higher than that of a human, and you possess some of the abilities you once possessed as the King of the Third Lostbelt, as well as extremely powerful immortal techniques.]
If I must say, you possess the ambition, curiosity, and inquisitiveness that are unique to Zulong. Upon arriving in this world, your first goal is to conduct preliminary research for future conquests.
After patient observation, it seems the city you're currently in truly belongs to Xianyang in another parallel world, the former capital of the Qin Empire. However, it lacks the pristine splendor of history, nor the grandeur and splendor of today. It's a jungle of concrete and a constant stream of vehicles. Its technological development is average, and whether it possesses magic or other techniques remains unknown. As expected, the Qin Empire remains technologically superior.
[You can't help but wonder, is this the right world or the wrong world? ]
Because your clothing doesn't fit in with this world, you attract the attention of many passersby. Although you're unhappy about it, you still decide to find a way to fit in with this world because of your strong curiosity.
[But then you discovered that this world wasn't that simple, because on a quiet street, you were attacked by a usurper, who called you—the God of Disobedience?]
You can't help but be very curious. You are sure that your current body is not a divine body, so why would this usurper call you the God of Disobedience?
[The opponent's combat power is quite good. He can enlarge ordinary swords and long spears, launching continuous attacks at you. He can also control the wind and sand to fly in the air. He also has a certain degree of luck and almost escaped from your hands.]
[Ultimately, you completely overwhelmed this usurper with your "Books Should Be Burned" and "Confucian Scholars Should Be Buried" strategies, rendering him powerless and making him your captive. At the same time, you learned the truth about this world from him.]
[This usurper is called Luo Qi, and he is one of the countless beings in this world who seek to kill the disobedient God.]
[In ancient times, there were no gods in the world, only a group of powerful and great beings.]
These magnificent beings possess no names, nor any notion of species, yet each possesses its own power. To control them, the human ancestors of this world invented a ritual. A ritual known as mythology. They bestowed names upon these beings and wove various myths, worshipping them as gods, omniscient, omnipotent, and eternal beings.
While the gods acquired their names and myths, they were also unable to overstep their bounds. Whether bestowing favors on humanity or seeking revenge, they remained within the scope of their duties. Furthermore, as the gods imbued myths with their own power, they also developed what humans call godhood as they created their own world.
However, if a god attempts to transcend the meaning of his name and the myths he represents, he is called a disobedient god. He goes against the myths woven by humans, wandering the world and bringing great disasters to humanity. For example, if the sun god descends, the entire world will become scorching hot. If the sea god descends, the entire world will be swallowed by the waves and sink to the bottom of the sea.
When these disobedient gods descend, they often combine myths from the past and those newly derived. Humans are absolutely invincible, unless a series of miraculous coincidences occur, in which case humans might be able to defeat the gods.
[People can kill disobedient gods and devour their souls, gaining their power and becoming godslayers. Those who become godslayers learn the Thousand Languages, gain night vision, and their bodies become extremely strong.]
[Also, the power gained by killing a disobedient god is determined by the character of the godslayer. It is even possible to gain a power that has nothing to do with the gods, but the scope of the power will never exceed the scope of killing gods.]
You fell into deep thought, and at the same time, you roughly understood why Roche called you the God of Disobedience.
After learning more about it, I discovered that there is indeed another you in this world. However, unlike the pan-human history you know and your own experiences, this you didn't die of illness in the dunes 2200 years ago, nor did you seek immortality to extend your lifespan to the limit and establish the eternal Qin Empire. Instead, after completing the great cause of unification, you became a member of mythology, with well-established myths and legends such as ascending to immortality in the dunes and traveling with goddesses.
You understand that, influenced by these myths and legends, your other self in this world has developed a divine nature, also known as a god. The you who traveled through time at this time are considered a disobedient god.
