988, the hiding place of the First Emperor(2/2)
Although this secret-like place seems quite safe, in tomb-robbing novels, ancient emperors’ tombs often hide some hidden weapons to deal with future tomb-robbers, so it’s better to be careful.
…
However, Xiaotian's vigilance was obviously overly worrying.
They went all the way up and arrived at the mountainside hall, under the pitch black stone monument.
Xiaotian raised his head and looked at this huge black stone tablet, which was 5 meters wide and more than ten meters high. It was filled with small characters the size of a fingernail filled with gold paint.
The font used for these small characters is official script, so Xiao Tianda can understand most of them. Even if he can't understand, he can guess it based on the context.
Senior Wang Mang certainly feels less stressed when reading these words.
Just like that, the two people stood in front of the stone tablet and patiently read the words on it.
…
Before I knew it, half an hour had passed.
Senior Wang Mang read the words on the stone tablet before Xiaotian, touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
Xiaotian also barely read the text description on the tablet.
After reading it, she immediately clarified many questions. For example, "Where is the First Emperor?", "Why did the First Emperor build a hiding place here", "Why did the First Emperor want to confiscate all the 'spiritual shielding stones' in the world", etc.
.
To answer this question, we have to start with the First Emperor's unification of the six kingdoms.
More than 2,300 years ago, the First Emperor successively defeated the vassal states of Yan, Qi, Chu, Zhao, Wei, and Han, unified the country, ended a century of separatist wars, and achieved the throne.
His own strength also continued to accumulate in the process of unifying Liuhe, and finally broke through to the peak of Mahayana (the peak of the divine level) and became one of the strongest beings in Blue Star.
But after unifying the country, the First Emperor suddenly lost his goal.
The country is unified and there are almost no enemies within the four seas.
The southeast of the dynasty was a vast ocean, and the northwest was a barren land with no value to occupy. Even if it was valuable, it could not be occupied with the manpower at that time.
As for strength, reaching the pinnacle of Mahayana is already the upper limit of Blue Star. If you want to break through to the planetary level, all the resources of Blue Star combined are far from enough, and it is simply impossible.
As for letting his descendants continue to rule the country for thousands of years? Sorry, he has no such interest.
Therefore, the First Emperor fell into confusion.
But in the fifth year of his reign, one day he woke up from his dream and suddenly came up with a brilliant idea - the world is so big, he wanted to see it!
Of course, this world does not refer to the Blue Star, but the vast and boundless universe outside.
There are 100 billion planets in the Milky Way alone, and the Galactic Galaxy next door has a trillion stars!
Such a vast world must be so colorful!
The First Emperor had a strong desire to "go out and see".
But soon a problem arose - he couldn't get out.
King Xin of Shang Zhou once left Blue Star, but he met an interstellar traveler by chance. With the help of that interstellar traveler, he successfully left Blue Star.
The First Emperor did not meet any interstellar travelers. To be honest, he had never seen any aliens.
Without the help of aliens, his own strength is simply not enough to leave the solar system.
As a result, the First Emperor fell into depression.
In desperation, he could only wait and hope that aliens would visit Blue Star again and take him away.
This wait is 32 years.
During these 32 years, the First Emperor had been looking forward to the arrival of alien visitors, but unfortunately, he did not even see the alien hair.
And during the long wait, his patience was completely exhausted.
After repeated thinking, he decided not to wait foolishly for the aliens, but to adopt a stupid method.
This method is - time travel!
He wants to travel to the future, to an era where Blue Star has integrated with the civilization of the universe.
According to his estimate, it would take at least 100,000 years for humans on Blue Star to develop to the level of interstellar communication. (Dinosaurs ruled Blue Star for about 100 million years, and 100,000 years is really not that long.)
However, the lifespan of a peak god-level expert is only 3,000 years at most, and he will definitely not survive that time in a normal life.
So, he built this hiding place and sealed his body. Every cell and molecule in his body stopped moving under the restraint of spiritual energy and entered a state of complete dormancy.
After entering a complete dormant state, his lifespan will be greatly increased, and it is no problem to live for 100,000 years or even a million years.
This is also called "traveling".
This is a bit like some rich people in modern times who freeze their whole bodies in the hope that they will be thawed and resurrected one day.
