The Golden Armor Guards were summoned by Zhao Ji in the dead of night. They had been lurking in the darkness, protecting the people in the palace.

The moment Zhao Ji summoned their leader, he changed the first iron rule of the Golden Armor Guard.

That is, from now on, the Golden Armor Guards will only recognize people but not positions, and from now on the Golden Armor Guards will only be loyal to Zhao Ji and the people designated by Zhao Ji.

"Now I want you to check on a person, a very mysterious person. I want you to find out what he is looking for and where he has been recently!"

Now that he has become the emperor, Zhao Ji can no longer go wherever he wants like before, so he now makes full use of the power of the Golden Armor Guards.

After receiving Zhao Ji's order, the Jinjia Guards immediately took action. With amazing speed and efficiency, they searched for the mysterious man in the palace and the streets of the capital.

Zhao Ji sat on the dragon chair, looking at the report sent by the Golden Armor Guard, his heart was full of expectation and anxiety. He wanted to know what this mysterious man was looking for and where he was.

The report mentioned that this mysterious person has been secretly searching for a mysterious item called the "Pearl of Destiny". It is said that this bead has unimaginable power and can make a person realize any wish.

When Zhao Ji heard the news, he was moved. He remembered an ancient document he found in the secret compartment under the bed of the previous emperor, which mentioned the Destiny Pearl.

He immediately ordered the Golden Armor Guards to continue tracking this mysterious man and find out his whereabouts and purpose.

After a period of tracking, Jin Jiawei finally found the whereabouts of the mysterious man. He was trying to find the Pearl of Destiny in an ancient forgotten temple.

Zhao Ji looked at the report sent by the Golden Armor Guard and was filled with determination. He knew that he could no longer sit idly by and had to personally take action to uncover the true identity and purpose of this mysterious man.

So, he took part of the Golden Armor Guards, quietly left the palace and headed towards the ancient temple.

In the ruins of the temple, Zhao Ji met the mysterious man. They stared at each other, their eyes full of questions and vigilance.

Zhao Ji looked at the mysterious man with determination in his heart. He knew that only by revealing the true identity and purpose of this mysterious man could he truly control his own destiny and the entire empire.

The mysterious man looked at Zhao Ji with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect Zhao Ji to come in person, but he quickly regained his composure.

"You are the one who is looking for the Pearl of Destiny, right?" Zhao Ji asked coldly.

The mysterious man smiled and nodded: "Yes, I am looking for the Pearl of Destiny, but I don't know what you are going to do."

Zhao Ji sneered and said, "Do you know the power of this bead? I think you know more."

The mysterious man was silent for a while, then looked at Zhao Ji deeply: "I do know something about the Pearl of Destiny, but I am not your enemy."

Zhao Ji looked at the mysterious man with vigilance, knowing that this man was no ordinary person. He decided to have the Golden Armor Guards be prepared in case of any eventuality.

"I know you are loyal to the empire, but I am not your enemy." The mysterious man said again, his tone full of sincerity, "We can cooperate and find the Pearl of Destiny together."

Zhao Ji looked at the mysterious man with vigilance, thinking about his proposal in his heart. He did not trust this mysterious man, but he also knew that he might not be able to find the Destiny Pearl by his own strength.

At this moment, the leader of the Golden Armor Guards stepped forward and whispered in Zhao Ji's ear: "Your Majesty, I think this mysterious man is not simple. We need to be on guard."

Zhao Ji nodded. He decided to observe this mysterious man for a while to see if he was really trustworthy.

"If you help me find this Destiny Pearl, I will tell you the use of this pearl. If you don't use this pearl at that time, I will also compensate you with an equally precious treasure. You should know that in this world, in addition to ordinary mortals, there will be another world that will amaze you!"

The mysterious man's voice was full of temptation, but Zhao Ji sneered. You know, Zhao Ji is not someone who can be easily fooled.

However, there is one thing that the mysterious man said that really touched Zhao Ji's heart, and that is that Zhao Ji really wanted to know the secret.

So they briefly formed a strong, but not too strong, combination.

"There should be a secret passage just below this temple. The information I got is that there are many dangers behind this secret passage, but there is also a great chance of getting the Pearl of Destiny! I need your people to clear the way for me, and you need to learn the use of the Pearl of Destiny from me, so cooperate!"

Zhao Ji nodded and asked the golden-armored guards to clear the way ahead. There was indeed a secret door hidden under a dry well in the temple.

The golden-armored guards were exploring the way ahead, while Zhao Ji and the mysterious man were following behind. Soon after the door was opened and they had walked not far, Zhao Ji heard a sharp sound coming from the right.

Zhao Ji, who practiced innate skills, had sharp five senses. He immediately turned around and bent down. Then the other mysterious man also hid aside.

A huge sword was resting where they were just now, flying from the air and stabbing at them.

The mysterious man stared at the front with a serious look in his eyes, his body tense, as if he was waiting for something. Zhao Ji looked at him, and couldn't help but wonder if this mysterious man really knew the secret of the Destiny Pearl? Or was he actually the beginning of another bigger conspiracy?

The leader of the Golden Armor Guards whispered, "Your Majesty, should we retreat first? This place feels very dangerous."

Zhao Ji was silent for a moment, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. He couldn't retreat, he had to find the Pearl of Destiny, for the sake of the empire and his people, he couldn't give up in this place.

He took a deep breath and gave the mysterious man a decisive look. "Let's move on."

The mysterious man nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with the same determination as Zhao Ji's. They continued to move forward, each step taking them deeper into the dark passage filled with dangers.

The road became more and more winding and narrow, and they had to bend over to walk. Zhao Ji felt that the golden armored guards around him were nervously holding their weapons, their muscles were tense, ready to deal with the danger that might arise at any time.

Then, they heard a sound coming from the front. It was a low roar, as if something huge was moving. Zhao Ji's nerves immediately tensed up, and he felt a strong crisis approaching.

The mysterious man suddenly stopped and slowly raised his hand, signaling everyone to move forward carefully. They continued along the secret passage until the space in front suddenly became open.

However, they did not see any danger. Instead, at the end of the dark passage was a huge cave, in the center of which was a huge circular machine, with the surface of the machine flashing with lights of various colors.
