The Great Elder woke up from his dizziness and found that the surrounding environment was several degrees darker than the foggy area.
Suddenly.
A warm yellow flame lit up.
The Great Elder immediately looked to his side.
Director Guan, the guards, Gao Chen...
Fortunately, everyone is here.
The tight stance is enough to give people peace of mind.
Only then did the Great Elder have the energy to observe his surroundings.
The surrounding stone walls are carved with delicate patterns, giving off a solemn and historical atmosphere.
The space they were in was enormous.
It was so big that even if dozens of people suddenly appeared, they still only occupied a corner of the entire space.
But the exquisite ornaments and structures everywhere make it appear not empty.
It's like an ancient palace that has been moved underground and has no windows.
"Is this... the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang?"
The Great Elder muttered to himself, his voice filled with uncontrollable wonder.
The scene was somewhat different from what he had imagined.
It seems as if two thousand years of wind and frost have left no trace on it, but only added a charm that does not belong to this era.
"Welcome, people of the future."
A deep voice came from above.
The Great Elder looked up.
A huge platform was built in the center of the room, with dozens of steps leading down.
A shadowy figure stood at the edge of the platform, looking down at everyone.
He was a man wearing a black robe embroidered with golden dragon patterns.
He has a dignified face and sharp eyes, and looks no more than fifty years old.
The Great Elder was startled and immediately recognized the other party's identity.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
There's no need to make a fuss about things you've known for a long time.
He stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"Your Majesty, we have successfully brought back your Imperial Seal as agreed."
"Are you the Great Elder that Gao Chen mentioned?"
"Exactly."
"oh?"
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the First Emperor.
He just asked casually, but he didn't expect the other party to really mean it.
Although he asked Gao Chen to meet him.
But he naturally understood the importance of being the ruler of a country, having spent his entire life in that position.
Even a leader who can be replaced every five years cannot be discarded at will.
It was completely beyond his expectation that China could send the Great Elder.
The First Emperor's expression couldn't help but soften a little.
He turned around with his hands behind his back and said, "Come up."
Walking up the stairs step by step, everything on the platform was revealed to the great elder.
The platform was covered with strange patterns and inlaid with various jades, like a large formation.
In the center of the formation is a three-meter-high bronze tripod with strange-shaped flowers, plants, birds and animals painted on it.
The Great Elder quickened his pace and stopped not far from it.
"Is this the Jiuzhou Ding?"
The shadow of the First Emperor smiled slightly and walked to the side of the Great Elder.
"Luckily you weren't reckless enough to crash into it. If you had taken a few steps forward, it wouldn't be as safe as it appears."
The Great Elder's gaze fell on the runes on the ground.
"Is it the formations around here?"
"No, the surrounding formations are only used to restrain it to prevent it from escaping. They only have the added benefit of providing spiritual energy to the imperial mausoleum."
The First Emperor sighed deeply, his tone full of emotion.
"Now that spiritual energy has revived, I no longer need these formations."
The imperial mausoleum will no longer lack spiritual energy, and he will no longer need to keep the Jiuzhou Ding.
it's all over.
The Great Elder was both surprised and wary, with countless questions surging in his mind.
"It will run, meaning..."
"As you think, spiritual weapons can generate spiritual intelligence, let alone divine weapons?"
The First Emperor's expression turned serious.
"However, over the past two thousand years, the spirit of the divine artifact has long since dissipated. Now, the divine artifact is just an ordinary object."
The First Emperor did not want to talk much and asked about the business.
"Where is my imperial seal?"
The Great Elder quickly took out the mahogany box.
The pale blue jade seal immediately flew out of the box and fell into the hands of the First Emperor.
"You retreat. The Jiuzhou Ding artifact has dispersed. Only the overwhelming power of the people can awaken it."
"Things may change during this period, so it's best not to be disturbed by outsiders."
The Great Elder expressed his understanding and led everyone to retreat to the edge of the platform.
He actually still had a lot of things he wanted to ask.
For example, why could the imperial seal carry the people's hearts and allow its owner, the First Emperor, to successfully use it?
Does public opinion also have a medium?
The Great Elder stared closely at the First Emperor in the center, not wanting to miss even the slightest detail.
The four-inch jade seal flew out of the First Emperor's hand again and landed right above the bronze tripod.
There is no spell, nor any other action to open the seal.
The jade seal stayed on the Jiuzhou Ding for nearly a minute, and nothing happened.
Just when the Great Elder's eyes were about to become sore, the Jiuzhou Ding changed!
The Jiuzhou Ding emitted a low humming sound, and a faint light flickered on its surface.
The patterns on the tripod flickered with light, gradually revealing the outline of a map.
There are several blood vessel-like veins in the center of the map, connecting the entire map.
Kyushu!
It is a map of the Nine Provinces of the Xia Dynasty!
The Great Elder clenched his fists excitedly.
The Xia Dynasty was the first feudal state in China, and its history has long been lost.
If you can confirm that the above Kyushu map is correct.
Whether it is the restoration of the Xia Dynasty or the landform of the blue planet at that time, it is of great significance!
At this time, the Great Elder finally confirmed it.
The construction time of Jiuzhou Ding is most likely not fake.
The next step is to see whether its ability is really so magical that it can connect to the illusory national destiny.
Um?
The Great Elder looked down at his hands.
Since when, he could feel that there was a mysterious force calling him.
The power appeared and disappeared, like seeing flowers in the fog or catching the moon in the water, it was extremely unreal.
He even suspected it was an illusion.
However, this force is gradually growing stronger.
It was becoming increasingly impossible for him to ignore.
Snap!
It was as if something in the void had shattered.
The Great Elder felt it clearly.
That power is right in front of him!
Right in the direction of Jiuzhou Ding!
"Great Elder, look!"
At this moment, a member of the escort team suddenly cried out in surprise.
The Great Elder looked in the direction he pointed.
The Jiuzhou Ding was emitting a blue light, and the bronze rust on its surface was falling off, revealing the blue-green body of the Ding inside.
The material is not like ordinary bronze, but another material that looks harder.
It suddenly transformed from an old antique into a treasure that is obviously not an ordinary thing.
The patterns on the tripod also became clearer, and every detail was lifelike.
With the lit Kyushu pattern, it seems to be showing the magnificent scenery of Kyushu a thousand years ago.
The Great Elder's heartbeat quickened, and he followed his heart, following the force that was attracting him and moving closer to the Jiuzhou Ding.
"Grand Elder!"
Gao Chen noticed his abnormality and stretched out his hand while shouting.
Trying to stop the advancing elder.
