Inside the gloomy hall.
The surrounding lights were dim, and an eerie atmosphere filled the air.
It was as if ghosts were drifting about.
It made one's blood run cold.
The Master of the Death God Temple sat at the highest seat of the hall.
Expressionless, his cold eyes stared at the main doors ahead.
Stop hiding and come out!
His voice was icy cold, revealing a sense of majesty.
Hehe! The Master of the Death God Temple truly lives up to his reputation to be able to discover me!
A low chuckle rang out.
At the door, a figure appeared and slowly walked in step by step.
Blood-red clothes fluttered, long hair scattered down his back, and a ghastly pale, corpse-like face came into view.
You are...
Seeing this person, the eyes of the Master of the Death God Temple slightly narrowed.
He immediately stood up.
You are Scorpio!
Recognizing the person's identity, his attitude showed not the slightest bit of fear.
Instead, a deep joy welled up in his eyes.
Old friend, long time no see.
Scorpio squeezed out a gloomy smile on his pale face and cupped his hands in greeting.
The Master of the Death God Temple observed Scorpio before him, clasping his hands behind his back as he slowly walked down the steps.
Yes, it has been a long time. How have you been, following the Commander of the Buliangren? he smiled faintly.
Although the words sounded very plain, there was a hint of jealousy in them.
Back when they separated, a portion of them had followed the Commander of the Buliangren.
While he was left all alone to wander the world by himself, inevitably feeling somewhat lost in his heart.
Scorpio's smile faded, and he silently shook his head.
The Commander... he left.
We don't know where the Commander went either. We searched the entire world but couldn't find a single trace of him.
The Master of the Death God Temple's pupils shrank, his smile froze, and he sighed softly.
He didn't seem surprised.
I knew it. With the Commander's temperament, no matter what, he would definitely find a way for Great Qin to unify the world. One day, we will surely meet again.
He spoke to comfort him.
Scorpio shook his head, No, this time is different!
The Commander went to the Forbidden Abyss!
The Master of the Death God Temple shuddered, his expression changing drastically as he couldn't help but lean forward!
What? The Forbidden Abyss?
His voice trembled.
No one knew better than him what it meant for the Commander of the Buliangren to go to the Forbidden Abyss!
That was a forbidden land for everyone in the world!
For the Commander to actually head there, didn't it mean he risked death?
The Master of the Death God Temple's eyes turned red as he glared angrily at Scorpio.
Did you just watch helplessly as the Commander went to the Forbidden Abyss?
He questioned, his entire body trembling.
He smashed a fist into Scorpio's chest, producing a dull sound of clashing metal.
Scorpio's expression remained unchanged. Allowing the force of the punch to knock him back several feet, he said in a deep voice:
The Commander went one step ahead. I said I would follow him, even through mountains of blades and seas of fire, I would not hesitate to die ten thousand times!
If it weren't for the Commander's orders, commanding me to rush here first to meet you, I would have chased him into the Forbidden Abyss right now!
It's just that, this time is different!
Scorpio's eyes flickered. Looking up at the azure sky outside the hall, a look of reminiscence appeared on his face.
Ever since we separated from His Majesty, the Commander took a group to the Great Snow Mountain. At that time, the Commander was still cultivating to break through, but unexpectedly, during his astral projection, he actually saw through this world!
The Commander said that this world is the most barren of lands. If we want Great Qin to rise, we must break the restrictions and let the power of heaven and earth surge into this place!
Afterward, the Commander went alone to the Forbidden Abyss, ordering us to return to Great Qin!
Reaching this point, Scorpio's tone lowered.
The Commander went for the common people of our Great Qin, how could we fall behind? We were just about to follow him and break the abyss restrictions! But the Commander stopped us! He said that if we went, it would mean certain death!
I only hate that my strength is insufficient, and I cannot follow the Commander there!
The Master of the Death God Temple let out a long sigh, his expression also revealing a look of grief.
As expected of the Commander, holding the world in his heart, possessing both courage and strategy!
The Forbidden Abyss that others feared like tigers was nothing more than a trifle to the Commander.
Scorpio, when do you plan to go to Great Qin to see His Majesty?
He asked.
Scorpio pondered for a moment and slowly said, Recently, I received shocking news regarding the forbidden land.
Seeing His Majesty, the sooner the better!
The Master of the Death God Temple's pupils shrank as he said deeply, Alright, then we set off right now!
Subsequently.
The two turned and left.
Speeding away in the direction of the capital.
Behind them followed tens of thousands of experts from the Death God Temple.
All of these people followed the Master of the Death God Temple.
Without the slightest concealment.
This group of assassins still thought they were going to assassinate Qin Xiao.
Every one of them was as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Who was Qin Xiao?
The Lord of Great Qin, the monarch of a nation!
His name was loud and his reputation illustrious!
If anyone could kill Qin Xiao, they would be able to make a name for themselves!
....
Meanwhile.
Great Qin's military drill grounds.
Three million soldiers of Great Qin stood in strict formation.
Drums and horns sounded in unison, banners fluttered, and the drill grounds overflowed with monstrous momentum, their shouts like thunder.
The moment Qin Xiao appeared.
The three million-strong army cheered like a roaring tsunami:
Long live our Emperor, long live, long live!
The sound shook the nine heavens, and the aura pierced the sky!
Clad in golden dragon-patterned armor, Qin Xiao stood on the steps, his hands behind his back, looking down upon his surroundings with disdain.
Beside him, the important ministers of the Qin State, all wearing armor and swords, were lined up on both sides. Further back were several civil officials.
The entire army gazed at that figure looking down like a sovereign, their blood boiling and fighting spirit soaring.
A light breeze blew past, lifting the long hair on Qin Xiao's forehead.
His gaze suddenly focused as he swept over the three million soldiers below:
I established Great Qin, sweeping across the four barbarian tribes and the eight wastelands!
Anyone who invades my territory, no matter how far, will be executed, and anyone who stops Great Qin's advance will be flattened!
His low and heavy voice carried an unangry majesty, echoing in every corner of the drill grounds. Three million people shouted like a tsunami, Anyone who invades our Great Qin, no matter how far, will be executed! Anyone who stops our Great Qin will be flattened!
The swords and blades of the three million soldiers rang in unison, like the terrifying roars of dragons and tigers. The grim, murderous aura even scattered the clouds filling the sky.
Qin Xiao nodded in satisfaction; these were the true good men of his Great Qin!
A smile spilled from the corner of Qin Xiao's lips. He raised his arm to his chest and said loudly:
Do you want to become stronger?
Three million soldiers raised their weapons high, their momentum like a rainbow: Yes!
Qin Xiao gave a sharp shout, his voice like thunder: Tell me, do you want to march into battle in all directions, expand our territory, and become the supreme glory of this Great Qin!
Millions of soldiers roared their assent, shouting like a tsunami: We do!
Banners danced in the wind, and murderous intent filled the wilderness!
Pointing to the sky with his dragon-patterned longsword, Qin Xiao declared loudly: Then I shall fulfill your wish!
Everyone looked at Qin Xiao, their eyes full of fanaticism!
Even though they didn't know how Qin Xiao was going to make them stronger.
But they believed in their Emperor!
Because the Emperor was supreme.
The Emperor had never deceived them!
Qin Xiao didn't waste words either.
He directly opened the system.
Use the Random Golden Troop Card!
With a shift of Qin Xiao's thoughts, the panel opened.
In the troop column, a crimson card suddenly vanished.
At the same time, a golden roulette wheel emerged in front of Qin Xiao.
On it were countless types of troops.
Iron Pagoda, Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Camp of Trapped Formation, White Horse Fellows...
It had everything!
Qin Xiao took a deep breath, his eyes widening.
Holy crap!
You told me this was a Gold-tier Unit Card.
But you didn't tell me that this Gold-tier Unit Card was for the absolute most elite troops in all of history!
