Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game

Afternoon.

This matter couldn't be concealed and was eventually known by the whole nation.

Everyone was already shocked when they heard about the existence of two tombs of Qin Shi Huang. They were even more surprised when they learned that neither tomb contained the body of Qin Shi Huang.

"Is it true that both tombs are without Ying Zheng's body?"

"That's too exaggerated, where did our ancestor go? Could it be that he's not really dead?"

"How is that possible? It's been so long, anyone would've died by now."

"Not necessarily. Maybe our ancestor achieved immortality?"

Such speculations floated online, with most people believing that their ancestor might not have died and could already be immortal, hidden among them, potentially being anyone.

The result led to a scam unfolding quickly.

[I am Qin Shi Huang. Transfer three hundred yuan, and I'll appoint you as a Grand General.]

…

On the other side, at the unknown territory investigation base.

They brought back the amber and patterns of ancient creatures to the base for research.

"What do these characters mean?" The old professor sat at the research table, wearing a magnifying glass, and gradually analyzed the characters printed on the wall.

Since they brought them back that day, he felt that these characters were trying to convey some information to them, but no matter how he researched, he couldn't find the answer, having never seen these characters before.

"Professor, I think we need the involvement of the cultivator management department." A middle-aged man approached the old professor and said.

He had checked many books regarding these characters but found nothing; no one knew what these characters expressed, though there was always a sense of something amiss.

The old professor was silent for a long time, eventually nodding, "Alright, maybe they know more than we do."

The old professor abandoned his research and contacted a division minister to come over and take these materials to consult Li Long.

…

Xiao Yao Sect.

Chen Lan was still in seclusion meditating, and the Xiao Yao Sect was in a state of harmony, with those Demon Beasts coming to attack the gate every day.

However, they were only there as toys for the disciples, easily vanquished.

Over here, Li Long and Daoist Qingfeng had just returned to the sect when someone came to find them.

"Master Li, the unknown territory investigation team has discovered something new they can't decipher, so they asked me to pass it on to you."

The man took out a printed image from his storage ring, clearly documenting the cave's characters and other ancient creatures' photos.

"Alright, I'll take a look." Li Long took the photo, fully aware of the gravity of the situation.

The man nodded and then left.

"Are these characters ancient script?" Daoist Qingfeng next to him also saw the characters, curiously leaning over to take a closer look. He found the characters similar to the Daoist script on his Taoist temple, suggesting they might be ancient script.

"Do you recognize them?" Li Long was baffled, unable to make any sense of it.

"I don't recognize them; maybe we can ask Sect Leader Qingxuan about it."

Upon hearing this, Li Long's eyes lit up. Right, since these were discovered in the unknown territory, they likely manifested from a game.

Since Qingxuan and they are from the same world, they would surely recognize these characters.

Thinking of this, Li Long quickly went to find Qingxuan for clarification.

Soon, he arrived at the entrance to Qingxuan's quarters, respectfully knocking on the door and saying, "Sect Leader, are you there?"

"Enter." Qingxuan's voice echoed. Li Long pushed the door open and entered.

"Sect Leader, I wanted to ask if you recognize these characters." Li Long presented the photo, Qingxuan took it and furrowed his eyebrows.

After more than ten seconds, Qingxuan shook his head, leaving Li Long a bit disappointed. Could it be that Qingxuan also didn't understand them, and they weren't characters from that world?

"These characters are far different from our world's characters and likely don't belong to the Cyan Heaven Immortal Realm, yet I vaguely feel they might be a talisman. Where did you discover this?" Qingxuan asked, furrowing his brow.

Li Long answered truthfully, explaining everything found in the cave.

The more Qingxuan listened, the more his brow furrowed, sensing something the characters were trying to tell them.

"If so, it's best not to touch anything brought out from the cave and to return them immediately; otherwise, something major might happen."

After saying this, Li Long's face changed dramatically, and he quickly made a call there, instructing them to return those items.

The old professor, upon hearing this, was naturally reluctant, as these were highly research-worthy items, and he couldn't just return them, having not yet figured out their secrets.

However, under Li Long's orders, they had no choice but to have a team of administrators return them.

They thought it was over, but the next call left Li Long stunned.

The cave had already been destroyed, seemingly due to a mountain collapse, and the cave no longer existed.

In the end, they had no choice but to return the items.

Li Long informed Qingxuan of the situation beside him.

"It seems the seal has been lifted." Qingxuan furrowed his brows, picking up the photo, "I'll go find the Sect Leader; he might know the answer."

The Sect Leader once said that matters concerning Li Long should be handled earnestly.

"Alright, sorry to trouble you, Sect Leader."

Qingxuan disappeared on the spot, heading towards the Sect Leader's Hall.

…

Sect Leader's Hall.

Qingxuan had just arrived at the hall's entrance when he saw the Tao Tian Demon Venerable sitting cross-legged, meditating and cultivating Spiritual Qi.

Tao Tian Demon Venerable sensed Qingxuan's arrival and slowly opened his eyes, speaking softly, "The Sect Leader is in seclusion, please return."

"Demon Venerable, I have something of great importance to report."

"What's the matter? The Sect Leader instructed me to handle small matters during his seclusion, let's hear it."

"Do you recognize this?" Qingxuan took out a photo and handed it to Tao Tian Demon Venerable.

Tao Tian Demon Venerable merely glanced at it, then shuddered, taken aback.

"Where did you see this?"

Qingxuan recounted what Li Long had said, and Tao Tian Demon Venerable immediately furrowed his brow, speaking with some surprise, "This is a Demon Suppression Talisman, with a script above and Profound Dust Realm text below, warning us not to touch anything here arbitrarily, nor to remove anything, or they will awaken."

Upon hearing this, Qingxuan was slightly startled, indicating that those ancient creatures might not have died and could already be alive!

"I fear, the people who took away the ancient creatures are now in grave danger." Tao Tian Demon Venerable spoke indifferently, unconcerned with those people's fates.

It's their own fault for rashly meddling before understanding the matter.

"Alright, thank you, Demon Venerable."

"And, by the way, this Demon Suppression Talisman carries an array; is the place destroyed?"

"If it's already gone, it means the seal is lifted, and the slumbering ancient creatures everywhere will awaken."
