The name Wang Zhou is not well known, but he is the most trusted SSS-level Alpha intelligence officer of the imperial high-level officials.

His most outstanding ability is not reflected in his military strength, but in his intelligence. In many important meetings of the empire, it is not difficult to see the shadow of Wang Zhou's intelligence. There is only one such unique talent in the empire, let alone the federation.

This time, his mission was obviously not a simple one. Not only was the friction between the two political systems of the Federation and the Empire increasing, but they had even started various exploratory wars in some marginal star regions. The top leaders of the Empire were extremely anxious. Under such circumstances, they secretly sent Wang Zhou to the Federation to collect intelligence to see if they could find a key breakthrough to help the Empire.

This was not the first time Wang Zhou had undertaken such an important mission, and his technique was extremely skilled. After observing several secondary star zones around the federal center, he finally decided to use the relatively peaceful A5 star zone as a breakthrough point for infiltration in order to obtain deeper intelligence.

But what Wang Zhou never expected was that he was discovered just after taking the first step to infiltrate the Star Network, and it caused a commotion on the Star Network. Wang Zhou was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He thought that his quiet infiltration, which had never failed before, had been discovered. He was so scared that he dared not move and his nerves were tense.

It was not until a long while later, when Wang Zhou realized that it was just a false alarm, that he breathed a sigh of relief. The main reason was that he really didn't expect that his infiltration into the Star Network would actually affect the Star Network disconnection of a popular anchor.

But the people in the A5 star zone are really weird. It's just a game, right? Why are they so excited? As if they've met their destiny.

As Wang Zhou got closer to the people here, he couldn't help but think in his heart that in order to successfully complete the intelligence gathering mission, he really had to integrate into the lives of the people in the A5 star zone in every detail and "transform" himself into a federal citizen.

Especially since the one in charge of the A5 star zone is the prestigious Marshal Lin, Wang Zhou doesn't have the courage to offend this marshal. In this case, he has to look almost the same as the people in the A5 star zone.

What people in the A5 star zone are most keen on recently is collecting a new game called "Huaxia Dynasty". They are not only keen on collecting certain characters in the game, but also keen on collecting the differences between each small world in the game.

It has to be said that with his excellent sensitivity to data, Wang Zhou easily mixed in with the players who were keen on collecting those memory fragment characters, and not long after, he was pulled into the activity of collecting small world information together.

Of course, Wang Zhou didn't take this activity seriously. To him, it was just a part of the mission and there was nothing to get excited about. That was until he saw some holographic map images in the various small worlds of the game, and he seemed to have discovered something, and couldn't help but exclaimed "Huh".

"What's wrong? Brother Wang, did you discover something special? Tell me about it."

"No, nothing, there's just something I find a little strange... Have you noticed? In the holographic overhead effects of these maps, there seems to be a 'snake'-like building that is particularly conspicuous. And it seems that the length of this 'snake' is slightly different in the maps of different worlds..."

Hearing Wang Zhou's words, the other players subconsciously followed suit and looked. They didn't know until they looked that there was a very conspicuous building like a "snake" on the holographic map. When they zoomed in, they found that it was a defensive wall built along a certain border line.

But this discovery is not the end, it is just the beginning!

Because when they had an idea and stacked up several small world maps, they discovered that this long wall was not just many similar ones, but the same one, including the maps in the game world.

While there are some minor differences in the surroundings, overall, they are extremely similar, with the holographic maps overlapping in just a few sentences! In other words, the truth behind those small worlds in the game is...

"It's the same land. If I'm not mistaken, these small worlds should be happening on the same land, but the timelines should be different..."

"It's history. This game world is about history..."

At the same time, Wang Zhou was not the only one who discovered this. Former Captain Wen Changping, a cultural researcher, also discovered this with great sensitivity. Or rather, what caught his attention first was the military defensive nature of this long wall that looked like a "long snake". Wen Changping, who came from the military, could not help but take a few more glances at Xingwang Mountain, and then he discovered that this wall was not formed all at once, but was built repeatedly over many years.

Combined with the crazy and mutually implicated "character illustrations" on the Star Network, the word "history" could not help but come out of Wen Changping's mouth.

Wen Changping's speculation proved correct. While he and his grandson, Wen Xiaole, were discussing this, other players uploaded gameplay clips to Starnet. In these clips, they discovered that certain NPCs were praising the original Emperor, Ying Zheng, as the greatest emperor of all time! And they were praising him in the same way they praised their predecessors!

Wait, so these little worlds represent different timelines? Can anyone arrange them in a complete order? Is it okay to use character illustrations? I was wondering, the Liu Bang fragments found in Qin sound so similar to the Han Emperor Gaozu, Liu Bang. So they must be the same person? I just can't confirm it because I haven't found the Han Emperor Gaozu fragments yet.

[It's possible to use the character illustrations, but it's quite laborious, and many fragments are missing. Perhaps we can infer the time sequence of construction of that section of the Great Wall?]

[Of course you can. Moreover, we have already deduced that according to the timeline, the chronological order of these small worlds should be from the time when the First Emperor first built the Great Wall, then the Han Dynasty, and then the Tang, Yuan, Song, Ming, and Qing Dynasties...]

[No, no, no, it's not Tang, Yuan, and Song. It should be Tang, Song, Yuan, Qing, and Ming.]

[That's not right. Why do I think it looks more like the Tang, Song, Ming, Yuan, and Qing dynasties?]

After all, everyone has not been playing this game for long. Apart from the Qin and Han worlds, where more character illustrations have been collected, not many players have reached other worlds, and they have not yet explored them all, let alone collected more character illustrations. This has led to a lot of differences in the order of dynasties.

When Tangtangxing came online, this was exactly the scene I saw.

She just didn't expect that after she had endured not going online for two days in order to cooperate with the Game Association's review work, her new game, which she had not yet finished, had suddenly become a hot topic of discussion among everyone. If Luo Qingmei hadn't told her, she wouldn't have known that such a thing had happened in the past two days.

But this is also a good thing, as it saves her time on promotion. Now that the game association's review has been successfully passed, she only needs to load the final patch as planned.

While waiting for the game patch to load successfully, Tang Tang saw everyone on StarNet about to start a fight over the dynasty ranking issue. He tried to hold back, but finally couldn't help it anymore. He used his game designer account "Tang Mu" to post a new message on StarNet. The message read:

[They're all a little off. The correct dates should be Qin and Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing. Furthermore, the more accurate names for those small worlds should be... dynasties.]

Ever since "Xianxia Qiyuan" became a huge hit, many people have been following the game designer account "Tang Mu". It can be said that Tang Tang was discovered almost the moment she appeared. Almost everyone greeted Tang Tang and asked her about her recent game activities and when she would make a new game.

However, Tang Tang's affirmative statement also attracted a lot of attention. It seemed as if Tang Tang was well aware of the game's setting. Could it be that the game designer of "Huaxia Dynasty" was someone Tang Tang knew? Was he one of Tang Tang's partners? However, no one thought about Tang Tang himself.

There was no way. In everyone's eyes, Tang Tang did not need to affect his own reputation to release a new game. This was not Tang Tang's usual style, so they subconsciously thought about Tang Tang himself, and thought it was another work of some outstanding game designer.

Especially those players who first paid attention to this game with anchors Xingkong and Niuren, when they saw Tang Tang popping up, they couldn't help but talk about how they suspected that the designer of this game was an imposter.

[It turns out the designer of this game is your friend. No wonder the online styles are so similar. We all misunderstood.]

"Yes, we all misunderstood. I remember I was so angry that I ran to report it, but it should be okay, right...?"

[The person above, did you report it too? I did, but there were so many fakes, I couldn't help it...]

[Ahem, forget about you guys. I couldn't help myself at the time, and I 'accidentally' pressed the report button...]

Tang Tang: "..." Great! She finally understood why her report and complaint came in. Wasn't it because she accidentally released the game without crediting the game designer? Unexpectedly, a bunch of enthusiastic players angrily clicked the 'report button' and directly sent her designer account to the blacklist!

After figuring out the whole story, Tang Tang couldn't help but fall silent, but Luo Qingmei and the others beside her couldn't help but laugh. They all laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt. Luo Qingmei tried hard to restrain her smile, coughed twice, and then asked Tang Tang what her plans were for the future. Was she going to continue to improve the online plan according to the previous plan?

"Of course, how else can we arrange it? However, this plan needs to be slightly modified. The game advertisement for "Huaxia Dynasty" does not need to be launched later. Let me launch it now."

After saying that, Tang Tang, who was holding back his anger, quickly called out the game CG that had been prepared in advance, and the next moment, he directly posted it on Starnet using the account "Tangmu".

Then, everyone saw that Tang Tang suddenly sent another new message, and there was nothing in this message, only a link address of the game CG.

Is this a CG ad for a new event for "Xianxia Qiyuan"? Or is it a new event for "Star Survival"?

When seeing this game CG link, many players thought so and subconsciously clicked on the link.

The next moment, the game CG screen jumped, and a very familiar desert suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

This is none other than the Traveler's Desert that everyone has seen countless times over the past two days! It turns out this game CG isn't just any other game CG, but an advertising game CG for "Huaxia Dynasty"!

What is a little different is that the researcher who has turned into a skeleton in the game is not dead in this game CG, but is still alive. He is seen holding a map and exploring the desert with a group of exploration teams. They accidentally discovered several terracotta warriors wearing primitive armor, and the appearance of these terracotta warriors is not quite the same. There are also one or two broken terracotta horses lying scattered around.

Obviously, this is a product of civilization and culture, a product of civilization that researchers have never seen before. But it turns out that what the expedition team really discovered was not just a few terracotta warriors, but a "city", a "city" buried underground, where there are rows and rows of terracotta warriors arranged in neat squares. Further back, you can see war horses and chariots, just like a whole lifelike army.

However, before the expedition team had time to marvel, there was a sudden earthquake below. The years of soil covering the terracotta warriors gradually fell off, and the terracotta warriors turned into flesh-and-blood soldiers, and the surrounding environment also began to change.

The expedition team disappeared, and instead, an extremely prosperous street appeared on the screen, which was the Qin Dynasty street that Xingkong and the others saw when they entered the game, but the camera of this game CG screen did not fall on the people, but on King Ying Zheng of Qin.

Then, there is part of the content that everyone has seen in "Fragments of the King of Qin", which uses extremely fast shots to explain the feat of Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng in unifying the six kingdoms, and finally ends with the scene of "Ying Zheng swearing in the name of Qin Shi Huang to protect China forever."

In fact, everyone present had seen this scene many times, and they could even recite the oath almost by heart. But when they watched it again, the excitement and surging emotions in their hearts still did not subside. However, after all, they had seen it many times, so this time everyone was much calmer than the previous times, and they calmed down again after a short time.

At this moment, the game CG screen shifted again, and a large "Han" appeared before everyone, accompanied by a figure: Liu Bang, the first emperor of Han! However, unlike the majestic Qin Shi Huang, this Liu Bang was not the Liu Bang who had just conquered the world and ascended the throne. Instead, he was an old Liu Bang who had returned to his hometown before his death.

Liu Bang, who had been in power for more than a decade, looked just like the commoner who used to owe money for drinking. As he drank, he muttered:

"A wanderer mourns his hometown. Although I have made Guanzhong my capital and have lived there for a long time, my soul will still be happy to miss my hometown even after thousands of years!"

Even if I hold a high position, my soul will still miss my hometown ten thousand years later. I am Liu Bang, the first emperor of Han Dynasty, and also Liu Bang, the chief of Sishui Pavilion!

This has not been found yet. The content of the "Liu Bang's Memory Fragments" is different from what everyone initially imagined. They did not expect that the Liu Bang in front of them would be such an "ordinary" looking image.

But the more ordinary the image is, the more profound the words "Ten thousand years later, my soul will still be happy to miss my hometown" become, as if in an instant, you can't help but think of a lot of things.

Thinking of the land of my hometown, the weather of my hometown, and the people and things in my hometown, waves of ripples arose in my heart, and the complex emotions made me feel overwhelmed. Even though the game CG screen in front of me had changed, I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time.

After the Han Dynasty, the prosperous Tang Dynasty suddenly attracted people's attention. The dazzling emperors such as Emperor Gaozu of Tang Li Yuan, Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shiwen, etc. were overwhelming. The most eye-catching one was a female emperor named "Wu Zetian"!

Immediately following the Tang Dynasty were the Song Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty.

Dazzling figures from different dynasties appeared one after another, and the scenes of different dynasties changed one after another, but in the end, everyone found that although dynasties were changing, the Great Wall of the land below was like some kind of connected root. The emperors of almost every dynasty continued to build it, just like the people of every dynasty called themselves "Chinese"!

However, with the end of the last Qing Dynasty, the game's CG scenes, which had previously shown everything beautiful, suddenly changed into a battlefield of war. The prosperous and exquisite garden buildings were destroyed, leaving only endless gunfire sounds, the smell of gunpowder, and unstoppable blood, death and despair.

Perhaps it was because the previous scenes were too beautiful, but now this scene filled with despair and death was too much for everyone to bear. There was a dull pain in the chest, and they wanted to scream and vent something, they wanted to shout "Stop, stop, stop quickly", but in the end no sound came out.

[This is so scary. Why did it become like this? I’m a little afraid to watch it. I suddenly feel like crying...]

[I don't want to watch it anymore. If the final outcome of the game "Huaxia Dynasty" is like this, then I don't want to play it anymore, no matter how fun it is...]

Everyone, I think so too, but I believe this won't be the end. There will definitely be a turning point... Wait, what's that? Look, everyone, look, it's like the people have suddenly come together...

Unlike the dazzling emperors and heroes before, this time, what makes everyone feel extremely dazzling are not those big figures, but those ordinary people who look almost the same as them.

They picked up whatever hoes and kitchen knives were available around them as weapons, and with an extremely strong belief, they gathered together one by one, in groups, and like sparks, they ignited the entire land, turning it into an extremely dazzling red.

But after the victory, the people who had become so dazzling on the battlefield put down their weapons and turned from soldiers into ordinary people who would worry about food, clothing, housing, family, career and children. Looking at them... they were just like them in front of the screen, like countless miniatures of these ordinary people.

They are ordinary people, but they are also heroes, especially because they are "Chinese". They are all guarding this continent called "China". At such a moment, they seemed to hear someone talking over and over again.

"...I swear in the name of the First Emperor to protect China forever! I swear in the name of the First Emperor to protect China forever!"

At this moment, it seemed as if something resonated silently and warmly in their minds, and that name was none other than - 'Huaxia'!

The author has something to say:

This article is coming to an end. I haven't finished writing this plot yet and I can't write anymore_(:з」∠)_

Note: "A wanderer mourns his hometown. Although I have made Guanzhong my capital and have lived there, ten thousand years later, my soul will still be happy to miss my hometown!" This sentence is a quote from what Liu Bang said when he returned to his hometown to reunite with his family.
