"Then let's quickly invite him over." Seeing his companion take out the jade, the short figure hurriedly said. If his companion hadn't repeatedly assured him, he would never have come here. After all, zombies over a thousand years old are not benevolent men or women, let alone a zombie transformed from an emperor.
"I'll ask him to come over right away." Upon hearing this, another short figure nodded and forcefully smashed the jade stone on the ground. If it weren't for his confidence in that person, if it weren't for the impending calamity, for the sake of all living beings, and if he hadn't been driven to desperation, he wouldn't have dared to let his companion bring him here.
The jade shattered, and an energy shield enveloped the two short figures. In the dim light of the energy shield, the two figures could finally be seen clearly. One of them was the local earth god who had met Wang Han before, and the other was also a local earth god.
"Earth God, you called me here, and you are not in danger. Have you found a powerful demon?" A voice appeared where the jade was broken, and a pair of white eyes lit up in the underground cavity.
"I have fulfilled my mission." Upon hearing this, the local earth god who had met Wang Han quickly said, "This is inside the Kunlun Mountains. Hidden here is a zombie that was once an emperor a thousand years ago. It is extremely powerful."
"Kunlun Mountain, the emperor from a thousand years ago? Who was he?" the black figure asked, walking to the edge of the energy shield. It was Wang Han, wearing black armor.
'What kind of powerful demon is this?' Another local deity cautiously glanced at Wang Han, who was clad in black armor, and wondered to himself. He had clearly seen how Wang Han had arrived; it wasn't like them who had burrowed underground, but rather spatial magic. In this world, those who could use spatial magic were all extremely powerful and ancient beings.
"This..." Upon hearing this, the local deity who had met Wang Han shook his head and said, "We don't know who it is either. After all, our strength is too weak to approach. We only know that it is a zombie transformed from an emperor from a thousand years ago. We don't know who it is, and that zombie has never come out."
"An emperor from a thousand years ago?" Upon hearing this, Wang Han closed his eyes, and his radar quickly scanned the surrounding geographical location and environment, also detecting the depths of this underground space. This underground cavity was located inside the Kunlun Mountains, not at the foot or edge of the mountain. Deep within the cavity was a small underground palace, less than a thousand square meters in area, with only one level. It had almost no mechanisms, and inside was only a golden coffin, carved with dragons and tigers. Moreover, its construction was extremely rudimentary. The burial goods were also meager, even less valuable than a corner of the burial chamber in the tombs built for those scoundrels like Xi Zhicai. The only conspicuous thing was two piles of bones on either side of the underground palace, numbering in the tens of thousands, seemingly larger than the palace itself. However, these were not killed by zombies; they were all buried alive. Their skeletons were still in shackles, suggesting they were slaves who built the underground palace. The underground palace seemed unfinished. Some parts were still incomplete, or perhaps the owner of the underground palace had encountered some misfortune after only a small part of its construction was completed.
Wang Han remained silent for a long time, and the underground cavern fell silent again. Only three imperial tombs had been discovered at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. Of course, it was possible that some had not been found, given the many emperors of China. The first was Emperor Xuanyuan, but that was clearly impossible. Not only was the location different from what Wang Han knew, but Emperor Xuanyuan couldn't have become a zombie, as this was a world of cultivation, and he had already ascended to immortality. The second was Qin Shi Huang; a person who dies unwillingly could indeed become a zombie, but his tomb wasn't located here. The third was Wu Zetian, the first female emperor recorded in history. She too could have become a zombie, but her tomb wasn't here either. None of these three were the case, so who could it be?
“This is inside the Kunlun Mountains. The surrounding terrain is extremely rugged, and the mountain roads are difficult to traverse. The underground cave here is also a naturally formed underground cavity, making it extremely difficult to build a tomb inside.” Wang Han frowned, unable to imagine who it could be.
“Land, who is buried here? Do you have any guesses?” Wang Han asked.
“I suspect it’s…Wang Mang,” the land official said.
"Wang Mang? How could he be here? He doesn't even have a complete corpse; his head has been chopped off. He can't possibly become a zombie." Wang Han was puzzled. Wang Mang's fate in history was not good. Let alone his own tomb, he didn't even have a complete corpse, so it was impossible for him to become a zombie.
Wait a minute, if Wang Mang really was a time traveler, then finding Kunlun Mountain wouldn't be surprising. Although history says he died a tragic death, with his head being cut off and kept for over 270 years, whether he truly died is something later generations didn't witness firsthand. If Wang Mang was indeed a time traveler, then a time traveler with foresight might have escaped this fate. And Liu Xiu, fearing that news of Wang Mang's survival would spread and his remaining forces would continue to rebel, simply declared Wang Mang dead to bring peace to the realm—that makes perfect sense.
“If it’s Wang Mang, I’d really like to see him,” Wang Han said with a smile. He placed his hands on the two earth deities, and spiraling ripples appeared in the surrounding space. The next second, Wang Han and the two earth deities disappeared from the spot.

"Where is this? Inside the tomb palace." Inside the tomb palace, the two local deities stared wide-eyed at the suddenly changed scene, looking at the golden coffin with dragons and tigers carved in front of them.
“That’s right, this is inside the tomb. It’s time to awaken the master of this place,” Wang Han said, walking to the golden coffin and waving his hand to lift the lid of the heavy coffin, which weighed several thousand pounds.
"Gulp, definitely not human." Watching Wang Han casually flip open the lid of the several-ton golden coffin, the two local deities swallowed hard, thinking with certainty.
