Luoyang has an extremely long history, and has been an important city in China since the Xia and Shang dynasties.
During the Zhou Dynasty, it was called Luoyi and was the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. It was not until King Ping of Zhou was destroyed by King Zhuangxiang of Qin, who lacked martial virtue, that Luoyang came under the control of the Qin state.
It can be said that Luoyang is one of the top cities in terms of both population and economy.
Ying Zheng showed no reluctance whatsoever, readily agreeing to the Jade Rabbit's request and casually offering his suggestion:
"The population of Luoyang is too large, which may disturb the Jade Rabbit's dwelling. Should I relocate the people?"
"No need!"
He thought to himself, "It's precisely because Luoyang is famous, has a high status, and is popular that the host and I carefully chose this place, which will help improve the mission evaluation."
Thinking of this, he glanced proudly at Ying Zheng. If it weren't for Ying Zheng's strong argument, the host would have taken over Xianyang.
Ling Xiao didn't care about the capital of Qin or the heart of the Central Plains.
"Not only should the people not be relocated, but this Jade Rabbit also hopes that the Emperor will build the New Music Palace in Luoyang."
"Why? Isn't Xianyang good enough?"
Ying Zheng frowned and asked.
The "Palace of Music" in a sense represents the Moon God's residence on Earth, and he naturally wants to keep the "Palace of Music" under his watchful eye.
"That's not the case. It's just that the Music Palace is where Changxi selects musical and dance talents, and it inevitably gets tainted by Changxi's fortune, making it incompatible with the capital city where the Human Emperor resides. Therefore, it's best to place it in Luoyang."
System: I can tell you, because Ling Xiao insisted on creating an art city from the very beginning, even though it was the Moon Goddess character, Xianyang was obviously not an option, so it had to be Luoyang.
"I see. Then let's do as the Jade Rabbit suggests and build the Music Palace in Luoyang. I will also arrange for the Music Palace students selected by Her Majesty the Moon Goddess to go to Luoyang."
Ying Zheng nodded, it was unclear whether he believed him or not.
He swiftly wrote the imperial edict on the spot and handed it to Fusu, the messenger, instructing him to find Li Si and others.
Not long after.
Ding—The system perked up, and the word "Completed" appeared after the last task.
I didn't even have time to check the rewards; my eyes were already stinging. Finally, this inexplicably difficult mission was coming to an end.
It's an old system that's been through a lot, though it's never really made a name for itself.
It was commonplace for him to take his host to various worlds to complete missions, but no world mission had ever given him this kind of experience.
Perhaps—that's the magic of the Dogecoin host.
The Jade Rabbit left Ying Zheng's bedchamber feeling completely refreshed, leaving Ying Zheng sitting alone for a long time before finally uttering a soft, "How difficult it is to achieve immortality."
No one knew that after the appearance of the Moon Goddess, Ying Zheng secretly searched for extraordinary people and alchemists. But after seeing the true goddess with his own eyes, who would be deceived by a fake?
In stark contrast, Ying Zheng became increasingly concerned about the Moon Goddess, the true deity.
Immortality meant he would never grow old, and Ying Zheng even sensed that his lifespan had been extended considerably, which deepened his obsession with immortality.
Here, Ling Xiao, whom he couldn't forget, was standing on a vast plain, where the grass and trees were knee-high, and a gentle breeze carried the scent of earth.
Ling Xiao slowly lay down, her hair growing longer inch by inch, like little snakes burrowing into the grass, reaching out to sense her body, soon stretching out to an endless expanse.
She closed her eyes, reached out her hand to feel something, and a faint sound arose:
"In the forty-seventh year, during the Battle of Changping, 200,000 surrendered Zhao soldiers were buried alive here. If I'm not mistaken, there's still a lot more to exploit in this world."
Time passed second by second, and the wind blew even more fiercely in the deserted Changping, its sound becoming more noisy and mournful, until finally it sounded like layers upon layers of ghostly wails.
It was midday, the sun was shining brightly, but the surroundings seemed to be shrouded in a gray cloth, dark and lifeless.
"Phew—found it!"
Ling Xiao laughed wildly, as if he had grabbed something in his hand. His five fingers twisted, and white bone spurs sprang up from all directions, piercing into the void.
With a snap, a scream seemed to echo in the air. A satisfied expression flashed across Ling Xiao's face as he whispered:
"This world is only one step away from the emergence of ghosts. Taking that step will make all the difference. No wonder the main god's task is so difficult, and it seems to be guiding me on the path of faith."
"If you believe, it exists; if you don't believe, it doesn't. The cohesion of faith can transform the world. Tsk tsk tsk, the supreme deity has really thought this through."
Damn it, how dare they take advantage of me! Ling Xiao's bloodlust grew stronger and stronger.
Be careful, or you might end up with nothing!
Just then, the Jade Rabbit, who was deepening her relationship with Fusu, suddenly realized that the reward descriptions for the final mission were changing extremely quickly, with rewards that the mission takers desperately wanted flashing by.
What happened?
Completely bewildered, he banged on his head a few times, racking his brains, wondering if the main god had gone mad.
Or is his data corrupted?
Fusu pinched the rabbit's ears and found that the jade rabbit was not moving. Just as he was about to say something, a pair of hands appeared out of thin air and took the jade rabbit away. The flesh on it seemed to be still pulsating!
"Ah..." His scream had barely escaped his throat when a familiar voice rang out:
"Fusu, do not panic, I have something to discuss with the Jade Rabbit."
It was the Moon Goddess, Fu Su’s first thought was that, then he wondered why the Moon Goddess’s hands were so terrifying.
The next second, Fusu tried to recall carefully, but he couldn't remember any details of those hands. The image in his mind became increasingly blurry until it disappeared like melting snow.
In the portable space.
Startled, he hesitated for a long time before cautiously asking:
"So, host, you displayed your great power and seized a handle on the Supreme God, and now the Supreme God has to compensate us handsomely."
“That’s right,” Ling Xiao said, sitting cross-legged and raising an eyebrow.
"My original intention was to kill most of the people in this world, making the Supreme God suffer a loss, but unfortunately, the world's consciousness reacted too quickly, and the Supreme God paid the compensation too quickly."
To everyone's surprise, Ling Xiao's tone actually carried a hint of regret!
"Host, aren't you afraid of failing the mission?" the system asked cautiously, its mind racing:
You're great, you're amazing! Why did you drag me down with you when you're going to die?!
Ling Xiao glanced at it in surprise, "Don't we still have our get-out-of-jail-free card? Besides, of course I only dared to do it after I was sure you, System, had completed the task."
"Good heavens, you've calculated everything!" The system was on the verge of tears.
Now that things have come to this, the host who doesn't play by the rules has received compensation. Damn, this is so much like a company withholding project bonuses, with employees threatening to fight to the death to get their wages.
"Well, if that's the case, with the world advancing, Ying Zheng might actually be able to achieve immortality?"
The system said with a serious expression, and Ling Xiao answered while clicking on the flashing reward details:
"Open your mind. Advancement in the world also requires a gradual approach. Just because he's Qin Shi Huang doesn't mean he can wait until the time is right."
"So?" the system asked humbly.
"We need to take the initiative and make another profit."
