Before he was able to play it safe, he was turned into a martial god by being left idle. In the main text, Chapter 629, "Complete System", his thinking was fixed. He had never considered Jingcheng or the Jingcheng Museum. After all, if this was where Jiangling King stored the Jade Disc of Creation, then from another perspective, he probably wouldn't put his Great Emperor characteristics here as well.
Shen Qian strode into the museum. The security personnel, seeing someone ignore the cordon and walk straight in, were about to reprimand him when they saw Shen Qian's face. They were shocked and then stunned.
"The Marquis of Dingguo...?"
The security personnel spoke with a mixture of surprise and respect.
Since the last meeting of the Council of Kings and Nobles, although Shen Qian did not pay attention to it afterwards, the Council of Kings and Nobles still bestowed an honorific title upon Shen Qian as is customary.
The words "Dingguo" carry immense weight. Shen Qian himself didn't care, but it was still a topic of discussion among the common people. The locals of Jingcheng were naturally extremely proud of this youngest king in history. In a sense, Shen Qian had replaced the Marquis of Jingcheng as the new legend.
Is anyone inside?
He nodded slightly before asking.
"The entire city is under martial law, and the museums are closed... What's going on, Marquis Dingguo?"
One of the security guards asked cautiously.
"I'll go in and take a look." Shen Qian said as he walked inside, but then remembered something and turned back, saying, "You should all go home and see your families."
"yes!"
Shen Qian's words seemed to possess a certain magic, causing the museum staff to unconsciously obey and leave hastily without questioning him.
He stepped forward and entered the empty museum. After a brief moment of sensing, he flashed and arrived at the museum's exhibition hall number seven.
Looking around the exhibition hall filled with a dazzling array of artifacts related to pioneer warriors, a hint of nostalgia flashed across Shen Qian's eyes.
How could that clueless boy who walked into this place have known the earth-shattering changes that day would bring to his life?
It all starts here.
Buzz!
With a wave of his hand, a jade disc in the shape of an octagon, shimmering with four colors, appeared in the air.
Time and space seemed to freeze for a brief second, and then Shenqian sensed that some invisible barrier in the air had broken through.
"It really is here!"
A glint of light flashed in Shen Qian's eyes, and the heavy weight in his heart finally lifted.
The surrounding scenery began to change rapidly, and the exhibits began to blur, transforming into patches of light that eventually merged into one, becoming a lifelike young man.
He was dressed in white, with sharp eyebrows and a gentle face, and a spirited demeanor. He was exactly the young Jiangling Prince from Shenqian's memories.
"You've arrived."
"I'm here...wait, what's with this conversation?"
Shen Qian suddenly remembered that a similar conversation had already taken place when he dreamed of the man in white.
Of course, Shen Qian now understands that the white-clad man with his back to him is not a single person, but a dream created by the system's influence. It could be the King of Jiangling, the Demon King, or even the Heavenly Emperor.
What is the current situation?
"The phantom of the King of Jiangling asked."
With his current cultivation level, Shen Qian could tell at a glance that the Jiangling King in front of him was just a fragmented consciousness clone, completely unrelated to the original body, while the real Jiangling King had long since perished.
However, Shen Qian still answered the other party's questions with great patience.
"Is it already that bad?"
When Jiangling Wang heard that the Witch Emperor's true form was about to descend upon the planet, he was taken aback, and then sighed, "Then you're quite lucky; you finally found this place at the last moment."
"Prince Jiangling, there is something I don't understand. Why did you hide your imperial characteristics here, yet leave almost no trace or clue? If I can't find this place today..."
Shen Qian couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him.
“Naturally, it’s because there are others who covet the ‘fire seed’,” King Jiangling said with a slight smile. “Once an obvious clue is left, it’s the same as leaving a flaw. Do you think King Zhouyi, with his abilities, wouldn’t be able to find this place? Once he gets there first, the fate of the human race will be prematurely ended, and the outcome will be no different.”
"Besides, who says I didn't leave any clues? It started here and it ends here; cause and effect are intertwined. Isn't that the biggest clue in itself?"
"But alas, given Zhou Yiwang's personality, he always thinks of things in a complicated way. He simply couldn't have guessed such a simple answer..."
Hearing the confident explanation from the Prince of Jiangling, Shen Qian was speechless for a moment, but upon careful consideration, he realized that what the Prince of Jiangling said made sense.
"As for what you said, if you can't find this place today... then my human race is doomed. But I believe that my human race has the blessing of so many ancestors, so this possibility will not happen."
Shen Qian nodded, no longer dwelling on it, because time was running out, and even though he still had many questions he wanted to ask, now was not the right time.
King Jiangling understood this principle. Before Shen Qian could speak again, he took one last look at the buildings and alleys of Jingcheng outside the window, a world he had built single-handedly amidst the chaos of war, as if both reluctant and relieved. Then he smiled and greeted Shen Qian.
"The human race... is now in your hands."
It was only at this moment that Shen Qian realized that the imperial characteristics left behind by the King of Jiangling were actually his own consciousness clone. When the clone merged with the system, it meant that the last trace left by the King of Jiangling in this world would be completely erased.
Buzz!
The system phantom in Shen Qian's hand reappeared, like the most intense collision of magnets. Jiang Lingwang transformed into dazzling light, which was completely absorbed by the system phantom.
