“You can go back anytime you want!” Zhao Wushi said, “but why are you in such a hurry?”
"Nonsense! The Great Xia is in complete chaos, why aren't we going back? We're waiting for Jiba!"
"So, do you have any plans for the next step?"
"Plan? Of course, it's to defeat the scum who invaded my Great Xia and unify the world!" Lin Mo answered decisively.
"Rely on what?" Zhao Wushi pressed.
"Isn't that obvious? We rely on Bai Qi, on Xiang Yu, and on my elite troops!"
"Bai Qi was created by the previous god! Xu Chu, Yao Guangxiao, Ran Min—all of these were created by him!" Zhao Wushi said sternly. "Have you thought about these things?"
"Damn, didn't Xiang Yu just say he would handle it?"
"I can create new generals for you, but everything created before is beyond my capabilities!" Xiang Yu replied. "If I were to answer using your Earthly knowledge, it would be that the previous program was written by the previous IT programmer."
He didn't leave me the source code; it will take me some time to fully crack it!
"Does that mean all the previous generals and soldiers can't be used?" Lin Mo frowned.
"No!" Xiang Yu replied, "Isn't it because Zhao Wushi is there? That's why he told you not to rush!"
Lin Mo, “…”
“Alright, it’s on me!” he said. “Well then, Old Zhao, it’s your turn to step up!”
"What's the rush? I need to ask you a few questions first!" Zhao Wushi said. "First, if you defeat all the enemies invading Great Xia, what are your plans next? And going further ahead, what are your plans after you rule this continent?"
"Standardize the written language, the gauge of carts, and the weights and measures! Let's build a powerful nation belonging to our Great Xia!" Lin Mo answered without hesitation. "Eliminate all barbaric civilizations like the Dos. Rule the country by law and eliminate all inequality!"
"Hehe!" Zhao Wushi laughed. "So, in the Earth era, have you achieved your grand goals?"
"No!" Lin Mo said, "That's why I want to achieve it in this world!"
"With your power, can you achieve that?"
"To be honest, it's very difficult!" Lin Mo answered honestly. "It's very difficult to transition directly from a feudal society to a modern society! But I will do my best to achieve this goal!"
"Hmph!" Zhao Wushi sneered. "I think you just want to satisfy your desire for conquest! What modern society? It's just a slogan!"
"So what if it's just a slogan? If enough people shout it, it will naturally form an ideology. Future generations will then carry it out according to that ideology!" Lin Mo replied. "Moreover, to realize this slogan, I must have a strong military and productive forces."
Otherwise, it will become a mere slogan, a slogan that can never be realized!
There's a saying: "Systems are made by the strong!"
"Have you ever thought about achieving immortality?"
"I have thought about it!" Lin Mo said, "But, thinking about it carefully, is immortality really that good?"
Isn't it tiring to be like the god hidden inside your own body?
Moreover, the finite nature of life makes it all the more precious.
"Hahaha! At least you're honest!" Zhao Wushi laughed. "Don't worry, I will keep all the generals, soldiers, provisions, weapons, and so on that you previously acquired."
At the same time, I will also preserve for you, in my own way, the Xiang Yu you so cherish!
"Holy crap, really? Thank you so much!" Lin Mo immediately expressed his gratitude. "But, preserve Xiang Yu? Isn't he a god? How can we preserve him?"
"What, have you forgotten that another god is imprisoned here?" Zhao Wushi laughed. "I will return the favor to him one by one, the same tricks he used on Xiang Yu!"
"This..." Lin Mo couldn't help but gasp. "You mean?"
“That’s right!” Zhao Wushi said, “Xiang Yu will enter your body in the same way that guy did before, coexisting with you as a system. And Xiang Yu’s body will merge with that guy’s soul, becoming a general who will fight for you!”
"Holy crap. This is a bit..."
"To kill someone is to destroy their spirit!" Lin Mo thought to himself.
At the same time, I'm using the previous gods to fight for me?
Thinking about it now, it's actually kind of exciting!
"What, you don't want it?" Zhao Wushi asked.
"Yes! How could I not want to!"
"Then stop talking nonsense!" Zhao Wushi said. "Xiang Yu, you'll have to stay with this kid for now!"
"It's alright!" Xiang Yu smiled. "Young man, I look forward to your guidance in the future!"
"Give me a break!" Lin Mo smiled as well.
Then, Zhao Wushi suddenly waved his hand.
The coffin, which was suppressed by sixteen dragon-carved pillars, suddenly emitted a series of eerie lights.
"ah..."
"stop!"
"The Supreme God will surely annihilate you, body and soul! Ah!!!"
The wails were mournful and desperate, but they fell silent in an instant, as if an invisible force had choked them.
Not long after, a dazzling light suddenly shot out from the stone coffin, streaking across the night sky like a meteor, and swiftly landed on Xiang Yu's body. The light seemed to possess a life of its own, leaping and flowing across Xiang Yu's body, gradually merging into every cell and every inch of his skin.
At the same time, the spirit controlling Xiang Yu's body flew towards Lin Mo's head with lightning speed. Its speed was so fast that it was like a bolt of lightning slicing through the sky, leaving everyone breathless.
The entire scene was filled with mystery and eeriness, as if time and space had frozen at this moment, just to witness this miraculous moment.
In this interplay of light and spirit, Xiang Yu's body seemed to radiate new life, while endless energy seemed to gather above Lin Mo's head.
