The sky in this foreign land had just darkened.

Look at the primeval forest in front of me.

Mr. Chen could feel the passage of thousands of years.

But before going exploring.

He chose to first take a look at the surrounding ancient starry road receiving terminals to make sure that he could still return to the solar system.

Although he was cautious and only sent a small amount of consciousness, it would be better to avoid losses if possible.

He looked around.

I saw that the magic circle formed by huge stone pillars was covered with green moss.

Only a map of the solar system is depicted on the ground, and its surface is now covered with mottled dust.

Apparently, it had been abandoned for a long time.

Mr. Chen tried to release his consciousness to communicate with the ruins of the ancient starry road which had obviously been abandoned for many years.

Unexpectedly.

The communication was smooth.

An operating interface that is exactly like the ancient starry road on Mars appears before your eyes.

[Name: Zhou Tianxing... (crossed out)]

【Name: Starry Sky Ancient Road】

[Teleport: Different World (click to view map)]

[Teleport: This Universe (unclickable)]

【Settings (click to view details)】

In this plane world with a round earth and square earth view, the option to teleport to this universe cannot be clicked.

After clicking the settings button, there is still no valid information.

And after clicking on the option to teleport to another world.

What appeared in front of me was a thumbnail of Mars. It was obvious that I could start directly from here and reach the ancient starry road on Mars.

In addition, there are planets in the material universe with ancient starry roads.

But they are all gray and cannot be lit on this map.

Seeing this.

Mr. Chen nodded with relief.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t go to other places, the Ancient Starry Sky Road is already broken and has no functions left.

As long as Mars can still choose and can go back, then there will be no major problems to pay attention to.

Then he looked around.

The stone arrowhead left by the astronaut who had come here before came into view.

Mr. Chen walked forward confidently.

Although it is dark now.

But he turned a blind eye to the possible dangers in this foreign land.

Not to mention that this is a foreign land, it doesn’t matter what kind of damage will occur.

And you have to know that he who came here is just a wisp of consciousness.

Disappearance may make the main body feel a little sad.

But it's just heartache.

Thinking of this, Chen Sheng did not stop for a moment.

The soft moonlight falls on my body.

That is not the moon, but an illusion formed by the inherent law of the moon in this round earth world.

However, the effect it shows seems to be pretty much the same.

Against the backdrop of this silver light.

In this primeval forest, all kinds of creatures are showing the cruelty of nature.

Mr. Chen was indifferent to this.

They were just some spiritual creatures whose highest spiritual power level was level 0. Chen Sheng was too lazy to even take a look at the fight between them.

These creatures that preyed on each other did not notice at all that Mr. Chen was walking in front of them.

This is not the general lack of sense of existence of the defenders.

This is just a power gap that is even bigger than the dimension, allowing Chen Sheng to do whatever he wants.

As long as he didn't want to be discovered.

These creatures will never know in their entire lives that while they were breeding and hunting, a creature less than two meters long was leisurely strolling past them.

Along the way.

Mr. Chen noticed some traces of fighting, as well as the aura left by the large-scale activation of spiritual practice.

Clearly, the astronaut had encountered some special circumstances.

But the situation is not critical.

Not to mention being fatally injured, he probably wasn't even injured at all.

Mr. Chen had anticipated this.

When the First Emperor left behind in foreign lands, most of the creatures were ordinary creatures with little combat power, and he prepared to take them with him as souvenirs on the road.

Those who are truly capable of fighting have already followed him to the battlefield of Antares.

The native creatures here were still in the early stages of biological evolution.

Therefore, it is highly likely that these creatures here are not that strong.

Just thinking about this.

Mr. Chen suddenly stopped in an open space.

There is no more original forest cover here.

Instead, it is a huge palace complex that can be described as majestic.

With Chen Sheng's perception, he could easily discover that this huge and ancient palace complex covered more than 300 miles.

There is a building every five steps and a pavilion every ten steps.

The corridors are winding and the eaves are high.

Each of them holds their own territory and engages in intrigue against each other.

At just one glance, Chen Sheng realized that this was the majestic Afang Palace where the climate was different within the palace in one day.

The Qin people who stayed here at the time apparently performed some extraordinary feats and directly recreated the Afang Palace here.

This spectacular building is also mentioned in the system's background settings.

But this is the first time I’ve seen it with my own eyes.

When the ancient starry sky road was destroyed, all the connected worlds underwent unpredictable changes.

The same is true for [Foreign Land·Qin].

After the ancient starry sky road was damaged, time here passed faster.

And it deviates from the originally anchored flow of time.

The outside world has only been away from the great Qin Dynasty for two thousand years, but here it is far more than twenty thousand years.

Most of the creatures that remained here disappeared over the course of time.

This is a temporary place.

It became the eternal tomb of the people brought by Qin Shi Huang.

The Afang Palace was also built during the passing years.

Because the First Emperor once pursued some of the methods left behind when he was in the Eternal Day, they have been able to withstand the test of wind and rain and remain as good as new.

After pondering for a moment.

Mr. Chen walked into the palace with a little curiosity.

Following the scent of that one person, I arrived at the center of the palace.

I saw a naked man wearing only a grass skirt sitting cross-legged on the ground.

He closed his eyes and concentrated as if he was thinking about something.

That was obviously the astronaut that was lost and sent here by the BNULM command center.

And next to this astronaut.

An illusory figure of a young boy stood there quietly.

Young people are young people. They are not happy when the spring breeze blows, are not annoyed when the summer cicadas blow, are not sad when the autumn wind blows, and do not sigh when the winter snows. They dare to face injustice and are too lazy to notice the wealth and luxury around them, just because they are young people.

Mr. Chen just glanced at the shadow.

I felt this immediately.

The young man in front of him doesn't look like an ordinary person.

He was dressed in coarse cloth and had unkempt hair, but his nobleness could not be concealed. When he was not smiling, he was cold, aloof and a little cruel, with the temperament of an emperor who was majestic without being angry. When he smiled, he was full of brightness and brightness.

This face shows that he is ready to beat up the six kingdoms. He is truly a rare young man with the look of an emperor.

Mr. Chen, who was familiar with the background setting, spoke slowly: "Zheng, are you telling this person a story?"

Politics, the AI ​​of the new Afang Palace.

It was an intelligent system left behind by the First Emperor, and was installed in the Afang Palace by the Qin people who stayed in this foreign land.

He has the appearance of Qin Shi Huang when he was a teenager.

Just now, Mr. Chen only felt the breath of one person, because the person in front of him was not a real person.

"Um."

"Do you want to listen too?"

Zheng smiled.

It was a smile that seemed to be unique in the world.

It was also a relieved smile.

It's like a child who has been dreaming about something for many years.

At this moment, my childhood dreams were finally fulfilled.

"I'm all ears."

Mr. Chen slowly sat down next to the astronaut.

Although he had said early on that the background story of this relic was not amazing.

Plots in which ordinary people yearn for eternal daylight for the rest of their lives because of a fleeting glimpse of beauty are endless in the setting of eternal daylight.

It is common for ordinary people to come into contact with some extraordinary powers while exploring the Eternal Day, which is sparse and normal in the background setting of the Eternal Day.

but.

This time the ordinary people are not ordinary.

Isn’t it? …………

This is a story about "longing".

That was Handan more than two thousand years ago.

Although there was no snow in the sky, the coldness had penetrated into my bones.

The sun was clearly shining on the street, but it could not bring any warmth to my frail body.

The stomach growled.

"Mom, I'm not hungry."

Zheng's stomach was never full.

But he did not complain to Zhao Ji pitifully.

Although he is only eight years old, he has become so sensible at this moment that it is a bit pitiful.

The years of living in a foreign country are not pleasant.

The city called Handan never brought him warmth.

After Lu Buwei escaped with the hostage Ying Yiren.

Zhao Ji and her son were kept under close surveillance by the State of Zhao. However, because the key figure had escaped, the people of Zhao lost interest in killing the orphan and the widow.

From the day he stopped seeing his father Ying Yiren at the age of three, he understood that from now on he could only rely on his mother and himself.

"I'm not hungry either."

A smile appeared on Zhao Ji's pale face.

At this time, she was not as greedy as she would be later, and protecting Zheng'er was her only thought.

I saw her slowly taking out a piece of bread that had been stored for who knows how long from her arms.

Break off a small hard piece from it.

The cooling weather not only caused the remaining body temperature on the pancake to dissipate quickly, but also made the pancake, which had been there for who knows how long, easy to break.

Although he broke off a piece with great difficulty and stuffed it into Zheng's mouth, a large part of the pancake immediately shattered and fell to the ground.

She carefully hid the rest.

Years of experience taught her that it was best not to eat all the stored food all at once.

As for herself, she knelt on the ground, trying to pick up the crushed bread crumbs that fell from the dust and soil.

But before she could see clearly where the edible bread crumbs were in the dust.

A familiar cry of pain came from behind.

She turned her head in panic.

Zheng'er fell to the ground screaming in pain.

"Get out of my way!"

I saw a strong man retracting his kicking foot while cursing.

Zhao Ji rushed forward to help Zheng'er up.

Just when she was about to apologize to the man in front of her to calm things down, she noticed that Zheng'er in her arms was trembling.

Zheng'er was staring at the burly man.

The anger and hatred in his eyes seemed to be able to melt the biting cold around him.

The strong man also noticed it.

He was stunned for a moment, and then he cursed without hesitation: "Qin's little bastard, what do you want to do?"

"An untamed beast!"

As he said this, the sturdy man drew out his knife and was about to threaten her.

Zhao Ji hurriedly hugged Zheng'er and lowered his head into her arms.

And she showed a pleading look on her face as she said, "Please don't..."

But this didn't seem to stop the strong man from wanting to vent.

Seeing the spectacular scene, he was about to move forward with his sword.

A tall man in full armor appeared out of nowhere.

His broad back stood in front of the helpless mother and child.

"Can you bear the responsibility of killing him?"

The man casually pinched the sturdy man's knife with two fingers, with a hint of undignified tone in his voice.

After saying that, the man lightly flicked his finger on the knife.

The strong man retreated several steps.

The knife in his hand also broke into several pieces.

Such power is totally unlike that of a human.

This also made the strong man's face look a little uncertain for a moment.

Listen to the laughter of passers-by around.

The strong man didn't want to retreat.

But looking at the armored man in front of him, he couldn't help swallowing.

Weigh a few seconds.

The sturdy man turned around and left decisively.

But before leaving, he did not forget to spit on the ground.

And looking at the strong man walking away.

The man turned and looked at Zhao Ji and Zheng Er, mother and son.

"Be more careful in the future."

The man instructed in a serious tone.

Then he quickly disappeared at the end of the street.

Judging from the look of things, it was obvious that there was something urgent to do.

Zheng'er, curled up in Zhao Ji's arms, said nothing.

Just looking at the sunlight shining on the armor that the man was wearing.

Looking at the man's tall and reliable back.

Looking at the sun pattern carved on a piece of iron on the man’s armor.

He remained silent for a long time.

This moment.

Zheng is good at observation and there are some different things in his eyes.

Among them is the ambition to stand tall and proud.

There is hatred that must destroy the city of Handan in the smoke of fire.

There is also a longing that has been deeply rooted in my heart since then.

Others may not see it.

But somehow he saw it himself.

Just when he broke the strong man's knife, a kind of heart-pounding power flashed for a moment on the man he admired.

That kind of power made Zheng feel that even jackals, tigers and leopards would be vulnerable in front of him.

He was sure it wasn't an illusion.

Because even when I recall it now, the special feeling that power gave me is still clear.

Because he is confident and aloof enough, he absolutely believes in his own judgment.

Zheng didn't know why he was born with the ability to feel this kind of thing.

But he understood.

Now I am not yet capable of knowing all of this.

I can only temporarily bury this longing filled with gratitude and yearning deep in my heart.

I can only remember the sun patterns that appeared on that man's body deeply in my mind.

…………

When I was thirteen years old.

Zheng, who had just returned to Qin a few years ago, succeeded to the throne.

"He was born in Handan in the first month of the 48th year of King Zhao of Qin. When he was born, he was named Zheng and his surname was Zhao. When he was thirteen years old, King Zhuangxiang died and Zheng was enthroned as King of Qin."

Historical records do not dwell much on the youth of the First Emperor.

It was just a few dozen words and was quickly passed over.

But Zheng will never forget the nine years he spent in Handan.

The world is fickle and love is as thin as paper.

His experience in Handan will influence his whole life.

He will always remember the deep-rooted hatred and will work hard for it from the day he ascends the throne.

He will also always remember the man who once gave him a ray of light, and want to get closer to him with a glimmer of longing.

All these things require power.

Although Prime Minister Lu Buwei controlled the Qin government on the grounds of his young age, the young king seemed to be in name only.

But Zheng believed that he still had time.

I also have the ability.

It only requires a period of forbearance and a period of planning.
