Chapter 2032 - 1537–1538: You Shun the Path to Heaven, Yet Break into Hell’s Door Without a Way

"Don’t even think about taking this Divine power."

The Regent King glanced sidelong at Jiang Dali, saying, "The power of this Divine that you can see and feel is still bound and confined by His Majesty with spatial restraints. Otherwise, it would have already collapsed and caused a massive disaster in the surrounding areas.

Once this Divine is truly released, it could pierce directly through the entire earth even without prompting its natural fall. This is the power of the War God of old. But alas... as strong as the War God was, he left only a Divine behind, his consciousness having long dissipated in the river of time over thousands of years..."

Jiang Dali quietly understood that the power of the neutron was indeed terrifying. These fundamental details did not need to be explained to him; he got it. However, to say he wouldn’t have any designs on this Divine is not that simple.

He felt this Divine was like a pillow when you’re drowsy. Just as he was trying to create a Neutron Combat Body but struggling to extract neutrons from the atomic nucleus and condense them, this Divine appeared, as if tailored for him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Dali leaned close to the Regent King, asking, "If I insist on trying to get this Divine, could you privately open the Emperor’s Treasure Vault for me once more?"

The Regent King’s eyelid twitched, glancing sidelong at Jiang Dali, unsure whether to chastise or discourage him, words caught in his throat.

This was an open request for favoritism, which he would have sternly reprimanded in normal times. But now, the person before him was, after all, a Breaking Realm Marquis Wei Wu and had recently helped him resolve a major issue. In terms of achievements, the other party had indeed earned significant merit. Moreover... the other party had even met the Emperor.

"How about it?" Seeing the Regent King pondering without refusal, Jiang Dali pressed his advantage, his tall and burly figure almost enveloping the Regent King.

"He has met His Majesty and received the hint of the words ’Fate’. Since this is the case, I will give him an opening, expecting that under His Majesty’s watchful eyes, he won’t cause any trouble."

The Regent King had this thought, then looked at Jiang Dali, nodding solemnly, "The power of the War God’s Divine is extraordinary. If you truly have confidence in making it your own, it’s indeed a fortunate matter. I can give you one opportunity to enter the Emperor’s Treasure Vault, but only one opportunity. Whenever you decide to go, come find me."

Jiang Dali said, "Only one opportunity?"

The Regent King raised an eyebrow.

Jiang Dali laughed heartily, clapping his palms, "Good! One opportunity is also good!"

For now, anyway, he couldn’t control such a large cluster of mung-bean-sized neutrons. This opportunity, to leave it for a future time when he was ready to seize it, was indeed a good thing.

The two continued to chat idly for a while before Jiang Dali took his leave.

In a side hall outside the Regent Hall, Dugu Qiubai had long since been waiting. Seeing Jiang Dali approach, his eyes snapped open, and he said coldly, "Talking with him for so long, might as well have had a fight. Can we leave now?"

Jiang Dali smiled nonchalantly, replying in a coarse voice, "This Regent Hall isn’t large enough for me to display my skills. However, the location of Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum is about right. Shall we go?"

Dugu Qiubai rose slowly, adjusted his robe, and embraced his sword against his chest, "Let’s go!"

Jiang Dali was surprised, "Aren’t you afraid of the prohibition?"

Dugu Qiubai cast a sidelong glance at Jiang Dali with eyes like cold lightning, "If you’re not afraid, why should I be?"

"Hahaha!"

Jiang Dali laughed heartily, stepping out as a ripple of space waved beneath his foot, "Let’s go!"

...

Qin State.

Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum, lying south near Lishan and north by the Wei River.

The trees are lush, with valleys and peaks interspersed, the mountain body forming a slight arc spreading across Lingnan, resembling a blooming lotus flower, while the Imperial Mausoleum is encircled by the peaks of Lishan.

An exuberant vitality accompanies the gradually spreading momentum, enveloping the entire mausoleum and mountain in such a way that the earth’s energy vaporizes by day, with colorful sunset glows in the evening, making the Qi Mechanism here particularly stable.

The Qin people have always refused to believe that the great Qin Shi Huang had perished. Even though the Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum has existed for over two thousand years, even though no one in Qin State has seen the figure of Qin Shi Huang who unified the world and swept the Eight Desolates and Six Harmonies, they still refuse to believe that Qin Shi Huang truly fell.

Therefore, there has always been a prevailing notion both among the people and within the court that ’As long as Qin State exists, Qin Shi Huang exists. As long as the Ten Thousand Miles Great Wall stands, Qin Shi Huang will not fall.’

In fact, this seems to be true.

Qin Shi Huang forcibly altered fate through curses and the Qi Fortune Power of Qin State, clinging to survival with a clay body to this day. Even if this is due to the curse, confining him to the mausoleum and unable ever to leave, yet it is indeed a quest for immortality.

But being confined within self-drawn boundaries, never able to leave the grave, brings Qin Shi Huang much dissatisfaction.

...

"He really broke through... With his Heaven-defying Destiny Chart, he has made a breakthrough against the heavens... Emperor..."

Within the solemn and grand Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum, the mighty figure of Qin Shi Huang sat on a bronze chariot, with a stiff, cold, clay face looking down on rows of silent, vigilant soldiers. A hint of sorrow and spite gradually surfaced in his eyes.

He had already sensed the position of the Holy Dynasty, the grand aura like the newborn morning sun, albeit slightly inferior to his current self, but indeed on the same level, forming a strong threat to him.

Given the other party’s nature, he is determined to cause him trouble. This is not a situation he wanted to see, but even as Qin Shi Huang, the world would not change to his will. It was never fear that he felt, just unwillingness.
