"Honor of Kings" plane.

Li Bai was stunned when he suddenly heard the words of the mechanical creature.

The guardian of Chang'an? Zhong Kui?

He suddenly thought of a rumor about Chang'an City.

Since the establishment of Chang'an, a strict curfew system has been implemented.

Rumor has it that this is because every night at midnight, a monster appears on the street and devours all living things.

Many people claimed to have seen the monster from afar, describing how hideous and terrifying it was.

This monster that can stop babies from crying is called the "Ghost of Chang'an".

The Zhong Kui in front of him looked like a ghost, and his ferocious hook looked very much like a sickle that could take souls away. He was very similar to the legendary ghost of Chang'an.

Li Bai put away his surprise and looked up and asked, "Have you always been here?"

Zhong Kui said calmly: "I have existed since the establishment of Chang'an City."

He turned to look at Li Bai and asked coldly: "What are you doing here?"

As the guardian of Chang'an, he will clear out all the evil spirits that sneak into the city.

Especially here, the core of Chang'an! An uninvited guest like Li Bai is obviously his enemy.

But considering that without Li Bai's help, he might not be able to keep the despicable thief, he decided to give the other party a chance to explain.

Besides, he had heard of the name of this Tang Dynasty Sword Immortal and was somewhat interested in him.

Feeling Zhong Kui's scrutiny, Li Bai said seriously: "I'm looking for the core of the Ark!"

Zhong Kui's eyes were dark and suddenly became dangerous.

Li Bai didn't care and said, "The God of the Fallen World is looking for a miracle key to open the core of the Ark. If he succeeds, it will be a disaster for the world!"

He raised his head and said, "So I have to find it before him to prevent the Ark Core from falling into the hands of the Fallen God!"

Zhong Kui's expression finally relaxed.

"That guy just now should be sent by the God of Fallen World, right?" Li Bai asked.

Zhong Kui said indifferently: "He is just a clown!"

Li Bai suddenly asked: "Do you know the Ark Core?"

Since this guy claimed that he had appeared at the beginning of Chang'an's existence, he must know the Ark Core.

Maybe he is the Ark Core itself!

Zhong Kui looked at Li Bai.

He is not an ordinary mechanical creation.

His power comes from the core of the Ark, but his thoughts are innate. Perhaps he should be called a transcendent species that is superior to mortals.

He looked at Li Bai in front of him.

The other person had clear eyes and a proud expression, and he certainly didn't look like an ambitious person.

I almost lost my defense against the thief just now. What if the Fallen God sent more minions, or even came in person? Would I be able to stop him then? And it wasn't just the Fallen God who was eyeing the core of the Ark.

As far as he knew, the Queen was also very interested in the Ark Core.

It's time to recruit some allies! Zhong Kui looked down at Li Bai and invited him, "Are you willing to join me in guarding the Ark Core?"

Li Bai was surprised: "Are you guarding the core of the Ark?"

Zhong Kui remained silent.

Li Bai straightened his back and said in a deep voice: "Protecting the Ark Core from being obtained by people with ulterior motives is to protect our civilization. It is our duty!"

Zhong Kui nodded approvingly: "If that's the case, then I'll let you see it."

He suddenly reached out and grabbed his chest.

As the faint blue light became cloudy, he took out a square object.

Li Bai looked at him with burning eyes.

"This is the key," Zhong Kui said, "Put it on the door, and you will naturally be able to see the Ark Core!"

Li Bai took it with both hands and looked at the dilapidated and decayed door.

When he inserted the block into a groove in the center of the door, a dazzling light suddenly appeared from the door.

Then, the door slowly opened.

When Li Bai saw the scene inside the door, he was obviously stunned.

"What is this?" he asked in surprise.

"This is the core of the Ark," Zhong Kui said as he stood beside him, "It is also the heart of the universe. Mechanics, magic, immortality... the source of all wisdom lies here!"

Li Bai looked at the transparent ball of light that was floating in the air and had a diameter of less than one meter.

In the center of the light ball, there was a miniature version of Chang'an City.

"But...this..." Li Bai didn't know how to express his feelings.

Zhong Kui glanced at him and said, "Chang'an City was built based on the Ark Core."

"In other words, the core of the Ark is Chang'an!"

Everything about the pub suddenly came to mind.

Li Bai felt an impulse in his heart and asked, "What would happen if someone took it away?"

"Chang'an collapsed!" said Zhong Kui.

"In an instant?" Li Bai asked.

Zhong Kui was puzzled and shook his head, saying, "At the fastest, it will take half a day, and at the slowest, it will take a day."

"That's good." Li Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

After saying this, he suddenly rushed forward.

"What are you going to do?" Zhong Kui was shocked.

When he wanted to throw out the grappling hook, he saw that Li Bai had already pressed down the core of the Ark, and then he disappeared.

The Ark core also disappeared along with him.

"Oh no, we've let a wolf into the house!" Zhong Kui was horrified.

The worst thing is that with the disappearance of the Ark's core, his power was also severely damaged.

The ground beneath his feet began to shake.

…

Inside the pub.

Huang Yaoshi looked around.

When he saw Ye Fan and the others, he smiled and nodded, saying, "Among all of us, the world of Divine Doctor Hua is the most chaotic, right?"

Seeing Uncle Nine, Guts, Sasuke and many others looking at him, he quickly added: "It's just that the countries in that world are divided and there are constant wars..."

Hua Tuo sensed this subtle atmosphere and nodded, saying, "Pharmacist, what you said is true."

The Three Kingdoms period was characterized by constant wars, and all young and strong men were forcibly conscripted into the army.

He has practiced medicine in various places over the years and witnessed the sufferings of the people.

When the world is divided, the people suffer the most!

"We can let the main envoys of the three countries sit down and talk, unite as one, and build China together!" said Huang Yaoshi.

"They won't agree, will they?" Hua Tuo said.

Ye Fan smiled: "With me here, do they dare to disagree?"

"And me," Roaring Sky Dog shouted, "If anyone dares to disagree, I will bite him to death!"

Others also spoke out.

They are all happy to watch the fun.

Thinking of the strength of these people, Hua Tuo breathed a sigh of relief.

He was in a dilemma again: "Even if they agree on the surface, how should they proceed?"

Huang Yaoshi smiled and said, "This is a simple matter. Let the three parties jointly establish a governing council and vote to elect a council president to make decisions..."

He is now trying to implement this policy in his own world.

Of course, he was targeting the Song Dynasty.

He doesn't care about the Jin people and Mongolia.

He had regarded those two sides as whetstones for his students.

"How should we vote?" Hua Tuo asked hesitantly, "If we only consider the number of people, the populations of the three countries are different, and not everyone may agree."

Huang Yaoshi stroked his chin and thought.

That's true. The people of the Three Kingdoms were divided, which was quite different from his world.

"How about a simulated combat?" asked Xu Sanduo, who was sitting opposite Zhao Kuangyin.

"Simulate a battle?" Huang Yaoshi asked, "How do we do it?"

Xu Sanduo gave a brief explanation.

He knows a little bit, but there are many talents in related professions in the army, so he can go back and ask for advice.

"That's a good idea." Huang Yaoshi said, "We can discuss the details."

"I think..." He was the first to express his thoughts.

Several other people also joined in the discussion.

Gradually, even An Xin put forward some suggestions.

While everyone was discussing enthusiastically, the figure of Sword Immortal Li Bai suddenly appeared.

He held the Ark Core in his hands.

Brilliant light burst out from it, and the mini version of Chang'an City in the center looked extremely extraordinary.

He heard a conversation between several people.

He had just completed further studies at the Jixia Academy not long ago, so he had a lot to say on this matter.

"Why don't you have a war of conquest?" he said.

"What conscription war?" Ye Fan became interested.

"Each force selects the strongest person..." said Sword Immortal Li Bai.

Suddenly noticing Su Luo not far away, his face lit up and he said, "Let's talk later, I have something urgent to do!"

After finishing his words, he quickly walked towards Su Luo.

In a flash, a curtain of light appeared in front of him.

[The Heart of the Universe, worth 20 million Spacetime Coins.]

When Ye Fan accidentally saw the contents of the light curtain, his face was filled with shock.

He originally thought that there wouldn't be anything too powerful in the world where the swordsman Li Bai lived, but he never expected that the other party would bring such a good thing.

He stared away.

Heart of the Universe: Fusion of the ultimate primordial energy of the universe, which is destruction and creation...

"No wonder!" Ye Fan thought to himself.

He has found his way and is only mildly interested in it.

However, many others were envious.

Sword Master Li Bai did not sell it immediately.

He was the first to ask whether there were any spots left in the Treasure Pavilion today.

After receiving a positive answer, he was secretly delighted and immediately decided to sell it and buy it from the Treasure Pavilion.

The Heart of the Universe is so important that of course we have to keep a backup copy in the tavern.

And after passing through the tavern, the Heart of the Universe he bought became his private property.

He will have absolute control over this new heart of the universe.

Even if it is really taken away by the Fallen God one day, he can take it back in a moment.

The God of the Fallen World will be very surprised! Now it is not an ordinary Ark Core, but should be called a Spy Ark Core! Feeling the close connection between himself and the Heart of the Universe, Sword Immortal Li Bai nodded with satisfaction.

He bowed to everyone and disappeared from the spot.

When Zhong Kui was feeling distraught, Li Bai suddenly appeared.

He was furious and said, "How dare you come back!"

"Misunderstanding!" Li Bai waved his hand and easily avoided Zhong Kui's attack.

Zhong Kui's power comes from the Ark Core.

Now that Li Bai has absolute control over the core of the Ark, he is very clear about Zhong Kui's power and it is easy to deal with him.

After he casually put the Ark Core back to its original place, he spread his hands towards Zhong Kui and said, "I am back, am I not?"

Zhong Kui felt that the ground beneath his feet was no longer shaking.

After realizing that he had reconnected with the Ark Core, he couldn't help but stop and asked suspiciously: "What were you doing just now?"

"Keep a backup." Li Bai said frankly.

"Backup?" Zhong Kui was puzzled.

Li Bai laughed: "It's not a bad thing anyway."

Zhong Kui was shocked and confused.

He felt that the core of the Ark seemed different at this moment, but the power within it was as pure as ever.

I must be overthinking it.

He backed out the door.

Li Bai followed out tactfully.

Taking out the key, Zhong Kui put it in his chest and said seriously: "You must not tell anyone else about this!"

"Of course, this is our secret." Li Bai raised his hand.

He wanted to pat Zhong Kui on the shoulder, but the height difference between them was too great, so in the end he could only raise his hand and bump fists with Zhong Kui affectionately.

Seeing his expression, Zhong Kui thought he was overthinking.

If the other party really had ulterior motives, he would not have come back just now.

His expression softened a lot.

The two started chatting.

Zhong Kui has been guarding Chang'an for such a long time that he has seen countless strange people and things.

Although he is a mechanical creation, he has the consciousness of an ordinary person after all, and is quite lonely in his heart.

Li Bai measured the world with his feet, and his knowledge was extraordinary, and he made many friends.

The more they talked, the more they hit it off, and felt that they had met too late.

As it grew darker, Li Bai remembered that he had forgotten something important.

After saying goodbye to Zhong Kui and returning to his temporary residence in Chang'an City, he immediately went to the tavern.

…

Several tables were put together and about ten people sat around them.

Hua Tuo sat in the middle, listening to everyone talking.

The collision of ideas from different worlds made the discussion extremely heated.

Hua Tuo felt that he had learned a lot.

He was deeply moved when he thought that everyone was giving him advice.

He was just an insignificant doctor in the mortal world. Compared with these immortal people in the tavern, he was really insignificant. How could he deserve the help of so many people? When the sword immortal Li Bai appeared, Hua Tuo saw him at a glance.

"It seems I'm not late." Sword Immortal Li Bai said with a smile.

Like another Li Bai, he has a free and easy temperament and can easily get along with others.

He sat down in an empty seat and joined the discussion with everyone.

By the time a preliminary plan was worked out, it was already midnight.

Ye Fan, Roaring Sky Dog and Sword Immortal Li Bai decided to go with Hua Tuo.

Ye Fan is interested in the world of the Three Kingdoms and those famous generals from ancient times to the present, and plans to go and take a look.

Xiaotian Dog relies on the power of his master and is now very powerful.

It wishes everyone knew that it had a good master.

It would be the perfect opportunity to go to another world and show off its might.

Sword Master Li Bai had just solved the problem of the Ark's core and was just looking to relax, so this was a good opportunity.

He is especially familiar with names such as Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

In the three-thirds of the King's Continent, these people are all famous! Thinking about the succession of dynasties such as "Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Jin, Sui and Tang" that he heard from another Li Bai, he felt that his world was a mixture of these.

Maybe there is some special connection between them.

This made him want to go and take a look even more.

After everyone agreed to set off early the next morning, they went their separate ways.

Hua Tuo did not leave.

Compared to the prison infested with rats and cockroaches, it is more comfortable to stay in the tavern.
