"You two go outside and wait for me," Wang Han said to the two local deities beside him.
Upon hearing this, the two local deities nodded and wisely disappeared underground.
"Wang Mang, we are both time travelers, and we share some common ideas. Let's sit down and have a chat." After the land deity left, Wang Han said to Wang Mang with a smile, and landed back on the ground.
"Okay," Wang Mang said, and seeing that Wang Han was no longer floating, he also lowered his altitude.
"......"
Seeing that Wang Han was still a head taller than him after landing, Wang Mang cursed inwardly. 'Damn, this guy is over 1.9 meters tall!'
“Let’s sit down and talk!” Wang Han sat down on the golden coffin next to him and said, “I’m very curious why you are here. Historical records say that you are dead, and that you died a terrible death, but it seems that’s not the case now.”
Wang Mang sat down on the golden coffin and asked, "Aren't you curious why I've become a zombie?"
“I’m not curious,” Wang Han shook his head and said, “As modern people, we naturally have more knowledge and ideas than people in ancient times. Moreover, we don’t have as many constraints as people in ancient times. If we fail to become immortals or suffer a complete defeat, as long as we still have desires in our hearts, it’s not impossible to take a crooked path and become a zombie. If it were me, I would do the same. The idea of a next life is just a way to comfort people. If I don’t achieve my goal, I won’t be satisfied even if I die in this life. Becoming a zombie is an alternative way to achieve immortality.”
"You were right." Upon hearing this, Wang Mang sighed, "Yes, life can be regained, but I will not die content if my dream is not fulfilled."
Wang Han nodded in agreement and asked again, "You still haven't told me why you're here?"
"..." Wang Mang paused for a moment, then said, "After I seized power, I wanted to make China better, to change those tragic histories, to prevent those tragedies from happening, or rather, to defy the heavens. But defying the heavens is not so easy. I think you have already realized that when you change the future, your memories of the future will also change. If I hadn't made those inventions and policies, I probably wouldn't have discovered this problem."
Wang Han nodded. "I have indeed discovered this problem."
Wang Mang continued, “But no matter how hard I try, the future of the nation is still fraught with disasters. The general direction of the future has not changed. Perhaps it has changed, but I don’t know. I don’t even know when I started to recall the history of my death. I am getting more and more anxious, but I cannot tell others about the future, and they will not find out.”
“You are changing the future, and your memories from the future will naturally change as well,” Wang Han said. “This is one of the laws of time.”
“Yes!” Wang Mang sighed, “No matter how I try to change it, the future seems unchanged. Just like you said, my memories are also changing, and I’ve discovered that there’s an invisible hand controlling everything. Liu Xiu is practically an illegitimate child of heaven and earth. In several important battles, I originally held an absolute advantage, and defeating him was a sure thing. But then earthquakes and floods occurred, and even a meteor fell and hit the army camp. Several important battles were ultimately lost due to natural disasters. Despite all my efforts, the future in my memory is still full of disasters. So I changed my approach. (Wang Han has experienced different worlds, so this time law doesn’t have much of an impact on him.)”
"..." Wang Han pondered for a moment and said, "So you choose to die, then become a zombie and lie dormant in the dark, waiting, waiting for the tragedy to happen before you come out again, change the future, and then continue to lie dormant, waiting, changing history one by one. And by becoming a zombie, you can live a long life and at the same time possess great power, which is the foundation for you to change the future."
“That’s right,” Wang Mang nodded.
"Meteor, you were really unlucky," Wang Han sighed, then asked, "Then why has no one else appeared in history? The future doesn't seem to have changed either, otherwise..."
"This..." Wang Mang said awkwardly, "Because when I first became a zombie, I was too weak and had lost my power. I was afraid that someone would exorcise the demon, so I didn't have the courage to come out. Later, I came out a few times, but I was alone and still a zombie. Although I tried, the effect was not great. I was also worried that the invisible hand would find me."
“The idea is very good.” Wang Han nodded and said, “It’s a pity that your strategy and tactics are a bit lacking, and you were too hasty in the later stages, which caused you to lose the support of the people. You also don’t have a powerful cheat code, and you don’t understand the planet’s will.”
"A cheat code!" Wang Mang jumped up and looked at Wang Han excitedly: "A cheat code, big brother, you have a cheat code? I thought transmigrators didn't have cheat codes, that cheat codes only exist in novels."
“I do have a cheat code,” Wang Han nodded.
"Brother, can your cheat system travel through time?" Wang Mang asked expectantly.
"Yes," Wang Han nodded.
Wang Mang looked at Wang Han expectantly and said, "Brother, could you take me with you? I've really had enough of this ancient life."
"Why should I bring you along?" Wang Han shook his head and said, "It's troublesome to travel with someone."
Wang Mang immediately looked at Wang Han pitifully and pleaded, "Brother, please take me with you. Although I can't do laundry or cook, I'm still a high-level fighter. Taking me with you will definitely bring you a lot of benefits. I've had enough of life in ancient times, and I've had even more to suffer since becoming a zombie. All I can do every day is sit and stare blankly. Please, every second is torture for me."
"Actually, it's not impossible to bring you along," Wang Han said, feigning hesitation.
“Brother, just tell me what you need,” Wang Mang said immediately, patting his chest. “As long as I can do it, I will not refuse in the slightest. Please take me with you.”
“We share at least one common goal: to change the future,” Wang Han said. “Changing the future is going against the will of Heaven, and you already know how difficult it is to go against the will of Heaven.”
“It is indeed too difficult.” Wang Mang nodded.
“But I have a way,” Wang Han said. “Not only can it change the future, but it can also solve the problem once and for all, and even heaven and earth and all those gods and Buddhas in the sky cannot stop it.”
"What method?" Upon hearing this, Wang Mang looked at Wang Han in surprise. Heaven and earth are the way of heaven, and even the way of heaven cannot stop it.
“I have developed a medicine that can help those foreigners control the population very well,” Wang Han said. “Unfortunately, the only drawback is that I haven’t developed an antidote yet, and I don’t have any good test subjects. If you can help me, I can take you through time.”
"You're not talking about that kind of experiment, are you?" Wang Mang glanced cautiously at Wang Han, ready to flee at any moment. "You're not going to dismember me, are you?"
"No, it's very safe," Wang Han said with a smile. "Of course, you can refuse."
"This..." Wang Mang hesitated, then asked cautiously, "Is it really safe?"
