Mo Shuying decided to return to Chaldea. It wasn't out of cowardice; he just found Chaldea warm and home-like. Everyone there was talented, and they spoke so nicely. He loved it there the most.
Qin Shi Huang didn't stop him. Not only that, he even gave Mo Shuying a gift.
Mo Shuying took out an octagonal box Qin Shi Huang had given him. Inside was an "Immortal Elixir."
Qin Shi Huang said, "This is an Immortal Elixir of eternal youth. It can bring the dead back to life, heal injuries, and reverse fate. It's truly rare. I no longer have use for it, so I bestow it upon you."
He spoke in very mystical terms. Mo Shuying put it into his System space and immediately got information about this "Immortal Elixir."
Mechanical Heart
Upon consumption, automatically transforms the user into a mechanical lifeform. As long as the parts are intact, eternal life is achieved.
"..."
In a sense, this did achieve eternal life, but while everyone wants to be Iron Man, this isn't becoming Iron Man; this is becoming Mark 42! Taking this would be pure idiocy!
But he had to admit it was a good item. The Ancestral Dragon had good intentions, and it wouldn't be right to refuse, so he accepted it.
Leaving Qin Shi Huang's villa, Chen Gong still escorted Mo Shuying. As they reached the entrance, Chen Gong cupped his hands and said,
"Please take care, my lord. Gongtai won't see you off any further."
"Alright, no need to escort me. I'll be going now."
Mo Shuying unconsciously shuffled two steps away, putting more distance between himself and this guy.
"It seems my lord is still a bit wary of us, eh? My lord, rest assured, Gongtai guarantees on his honor that we are absolutely on the same side."
"Wait!!"
Mo Shuying immediately waved his hand. Getting friendly was fine, but don't try to claim him as a teammate! They weren't close!
"Farewell! We'll meet again if fate allows!"
Mo Shuying cupped his hands, turned, summoned Groudon, and dove inside. With a fiery blast, he became invisible and flew far away.
Chen Gong watched Mo Shuying fly off, then turned and returned to the villa, arriving outside Qin Shi Huang's door.
"Your Majesty."
"Come in."
Qin Shi Huang's voice came from inside. Chen Gong opened the door and walked in. Qin Shi Huang was currently unboxing, assembling a new life-sized figurine.
"Your Majesty, when did you buy a figurine of your subject?"
Chen Gong was speechless. This boss might have a problem; he collected figurines of everyone.
"I told you, don't call me Your Majesty, call me Boss!"
Qin Shi Huang looked back at him, clearly displeased.
"Uh, alright, Boss. Lord Mo Shuying has already left. Should we... make a move now?"
Chen Gong asked, lowering his head.
"A move? How? Rely on you and Xiao Ke? Or that barbarian Xiang Yu? Let's wait. Until Ivan's problem with excessive sleep is resolved, he's no threat to us. Who we need to watch out for are Amakusa Shirou Tokisada from Nihon, and Arjuna below. They are all ambitious individuals. We don't have time to deal with them right now. We'll discuss it again when she returns."
Qin Shi Huang said, sounding rather unhappy. Not having enough capable people under him was a difficult matter.
"Your Majesty, she? When will she return?"
Chen Gong asked, head still bowed.
"Oh, her? It's that old harridan causing trouble again. She went to check it out. This child, sigh, with great power comes great responsibility."
Qin Shi Huang shook his head helplessly, looking a little heartbroken.
At this moment, Chen Gong lowered his head, his eyes hesitant, as if he had something to say. He hesitated for a long time.
"Your Majesty, I still believe that in our celestial empire, you are the Ancestral Dragon of Huaxia! How can you abdicate the imperial throne to someone from Fusang!"
Chen Gong bowed, sweat already appearing on his forehead, but he still spoke. This thought, he had to express it! If Qin Shi Huang wanted to kill him, he accepted it!
But Qin Shi Huang merely glanced at him, then said,
"She is now my adopted son, and she has severed ties with Fusang. Do you think Fusang has a place for her? Hmph, don't forget her name. She now bears the surname Ying!"
After Qin Shi Huang finished speaking, he waved his hand. Chen Gong's eyes blurred, and he found himself outside the door, which was now tightly shut. Clearly, Qin Shi Huang was refusing to see him.
Jing Ke walked out from the side, glanced at Chen Gong, and said,
"Did you anger His Majesty? Hmph, it's a miracle someone like you is still alive."
Chen Gong was speechless, then he yelled at the top of his lungs,
"Good advice grates on the ear! A loyal minister should use death to prove his integrity! I absolutely cannot remain silent just because His Majesty doesn't want to hear it!"
"Get out! Or I'll make you sleep in the same room as Red Hare!"
"Understood!"
A roar came from inside the door. Chen Gong quickly scurried away. Jing Ke's lips curved into a slight smile, but it quickly vanished. Then, she turned to the door and said,
"Boss, His Majesty seems to have resolved the issue and is returning with Red Hare."
Qin Shi Huang's reply came from inside the door.
"Already? Is that boy pushing himself too hard? Or is it that old fairy finally wised up?"
Qin Shi Huang's voice came from inside the door, his expression thoughtful and a little worried. After all, things hadn't been peaceful outside lately.
Groudon soared through the sky, and Mo Shuying's mood felt heavy. Meeting Qin Shi Huang this time had truly revealed a lot of big news.
First, what is a Lostbelt?
It refers to the history of failures, the dregs of history, based on wrong choices and mistaken prosperity.
Typically, it's a history that has reached a "dead end" and is making one last struggle.
Though dregs and struggles, if these Lostbelts develop into Lostbelt Worlds, or even higher Lostbelt Universes, then they could replace true Pan-Human History and become the legitimate human history.
And as the masters of these Lostbelts, the Kings, their power can only be described as outrageous.
Qin Shi Huang is one of them, the King of the Huaxia in the Fourth Lostbelt. Originally, he was supposed to be a mechanical lifeform, a colossal mechanical entity like an ark that could float in the air.
Now, though, he appears just like any ordinary person. Mo Shuying couldn't tell if this was due to his later achievement of an Immortal Body.
Even though Mo Shuying couldn't discern Qin Shi Huang's true nature, he could feel Qin Shi Huang's immense power. One should never underestimate any King of a Lostbelt; they bear the weight of an era and a world, so they are never weak.
No, I still need to tell Romani and the others and see how we should proceed.
Mo Shuying raised his wrist, preparing to connect to Chaldea's communication, but just as he lifted his hand—
"Ding~
A World Realm has been detected nearby. Do you wish to enter?"
"What?"
Mo Shuying paused, then remembered that there was something else he needed to do on this outing.
His breakthrough mission: find a World Realm, defeat its Guardian, obtain a World Seed, and break through his own limitations!
Mo Shuying lowered his hand, a hint of hesitation on his face.
The current situation was unclear. Improving his strength would definitely be excellent, but Mo Shuying didn't know how long it would take to conquer a World Realm, and it certainly wouldn't be easy.
And right now, he wanted to alert Romani and the others first.
But just as Mo Shuying raised his arm again—
"Ding~ Warning: The World Realm may be moving and is about to leave the System's detection range. Enter immediately?"
"This! Enter!"
Mo Shuying sighed helplessly. This was practically forcing him to enter. There was no other choice; he couldn't just let this World Realm get away. So, he confirmed entry!
"Entry command confirmed. Initiating teleportation!"
Mo Shuying heard the voice in his ear, and the next second, he and his spaceship appeared amidst a sea of clouds, surrounded by ethereal mist. Ahead, an immortal mountain stood tall, as if...
...he had arrived in a celestial realm!
