"Who am I? I am just a poor man, a poor man that no one remembers. You can call me Tao."
The voice was still ringing, but Ying Zheng couldn't find the person who was speaking.
It was as if the entire world was the person speaking.
Ying Zheng was silent.
Now, it's just about seeking an opportunity, an opportunity to get out, rather than arguing with this thing, or conflicting with it.
"I know you, and I know what you look like," the voice continued, "but your appearance is quite different from what you will look like in the future."
Ying Zheng still didn't say anything. He was observing, observing who was playing tricks.
Even though there is only yellow sand all over the sky and endless sky and earth.
"Want to know what you were meant to be like? If you want to hear it, I'll tell you."
The voice seemed to be tempting, tempting Ying Zheng to say the word "want".
"No, I am now what I should be."
Ying Zheng suppressed the boundless temptation, replied with just one sentence, and fell into endless silence again.
"Interesting, interesting."
The voice laughed, and the yellow sand in the sky began to fly again. The sky was already dim, and the surroundings could no longer be seen clearly.
"I've been thinking about whether I can give this thing to you."
The yellow sand between the sky and the earth dissipated, and the blue sky appeared again, and with it appeared a person, a person without a face.
"But after meeting you today, I have made up my mind to give this thing to you. No one else can make use of it except you."
Ying Zheng looked at the fictional character in front of him, and saw the faceless thing "talking" to him.
Although it had no mouth, it transmitted the sound to Ying Zheng's ears.
It is as if the heaven and earth are his mouth, the part through which he speaks.
"I, don't."
Ying Zheng looked at the person in front of him, or rather the thing that could be called a "person", with some wariness.
Ever since Bai Qi returned to the human world with the help of the badge, Ying Zheng made up his mind not to accept things from others, especially from strangers.
After all, it was Bai Qi who got lucky that time. What if he didn't get so lucky next time? If someone came up that Chen Xuan couldn't control, he would be shooting himself in the foot.
"Really?"
The "person" seemed a little surprised, as if surprised by Ying Zheng's decisive refusal.
"Other people want this thing, but I won't give it to them! You better think carefully about it. Do you really not want it?"
"I said, no. If there is nothing else, send me out."
Ying Zheng looked at the "person" in front of him, and his majesty remained the same. Although he was not as fierce as the one in front of him, he should not be underestimated.
"What if I say you can't get out if you don't want to?"
The "person" seemed to laugh, took a step forward, and then surrounded Ying Zheng like powder being blown away.
"What if I say you must?"
"If you don't tell me what it is, I won't take it."
Ying Zheng was not at all panicked. He did not believe that this thing could have any effect on him.
He is the king of the Qin Dynasty and the emperor of the Qin Dynasty. Within the territory of the Qin Dynasty, his words are the constitution of heaven and the law, the law that even heaven and earth must follow.
"Then you better listen carefully."
The voice reappeared.
"What I want to give you is the most precious thing. Nothing in the world can compare to it in the slightest."
It seemed as if a precious treasure had come into the world, and the originally dim sky before his eyes was now filled with jade-like light.
It was a jade slip, one exactly the same as the one in the main hall.
Nothing changes.
Just as crystal clear, emitting a slight glow.
It was as smooth as ever, without a single word missing.
"What's this?"
Ying Zheng asked the question he wanted to ask when he was outside.
The appearance of this jade slip was sudden, and so was the appearance of everything else.
Just like a script, Ying Zheng bumped into it himself.
“This is nothing, and yet it is something.”
The voice said so.
“This is the Tao, and it is not the Tao.”
“It’s everything and nothing.”
"All things arise from it and perish from it."
"This is history, a microcosm of the long river of history. You can see what you want to see through this jade slip."
"Anything?"
Ying Zheng had a blank expression on his face and had lost his curiosity about the jade slip in front of him.
"Yes, anything."
"Just because I saw it, it must be true?"
"Yes, it must be true."
"I saw tomorrow, but tomorrow I did the opposite. Is this still true?"
"It's true, but it was true in the past."
There was no impatience in the voice.
"Sometimes truth is false, and falsehood is truth. Perhaps there is a kind of inevitability, but this inevitability disappeared without a trace the moment your Great Qin's destiny was born."
"Chen Xuan?"
Ying Zheng was a little confused. How could something like inevitability be destroyed because of the birth of a country's destiny?
"It's him, and it's not him. From the moment he was born, everything ceased to be everything. The long river of history became a jade slip, falling alone before you."
The voice continued to speak.
"After inevitability disappears, the long river of history ceases to flow. Because the next step could be another variable, and no one can tell whether a slight fork in the road will cause the entire river to collapse.
Therefore, this thing transformed from the long river of history into a jade slip has lost all its so-called meaning. It is just a jade slip, but it is more than just a jade slip.
