This also provides enough time for the authorities to train those who have just awakened, speeding up the stabilization after the awakening of all humanity.

"Oh? What requests do you have, feel free to speak your mind."

After the First Emperor sat back on the dragon throne, he looked down at Wu Liang standing in front of the hall and said.

This left the General of Qin beside him dumbfounded.

He had followed the First Emperor for many years in battles, and although he could not say he fully understood his nature, he knew him fairly well, otherwise he wouldn't have reached the position of being able to stand guard outside the hall with a weapon.

Yet never had he seen the First Emperor show such closeness to someone.

Any request can be spoken freely?

My goodness, is this kid perhaps the reincarnation of Prince Fusu? Why is he being so indulged?

Seeing the First Emperor express such an opinion, Wu Liang was not polite at all and said, "Five thousand Qin Army soldiers, many people, mixed horses. I would like to ask His Majesty to send three or two more generals to assist in managing the army. What do you think?"

This statement directly made Director Long unable to hold it.

What does it mean? We took a force of five thousand Red Robe level soldiers and are still not satisfied, you want to take away two City-Slaying General level Qin generals?

This is no longer a request, is it?

It's pure encroachment!

However, what shocked Director Long and the General of Qin was that, after listening to Wu Liang's obviously somewhat excessive request, the First Emperor actually nodded slightly.

He then said, "It makes sense, but three or two generals might not be enough, right? I grant you five great generals! Each managing ten thousand men for easier coordination, how is that for you?"

Director Long and General of Qin: "?"

What exactly is the situation now?

The First Emperor even thought three or two generals were not sufficient and directly gave five City-Slaying General level generals, and he asked Wu Liang how he felt?

This kid is really the reincarnation of Fusu!

But in the next second, before Wu Liang could respond, the First Emperor shifted his tone and said, "But I have one matter to seek from you, you should know what it is."

At this point, Director Long and the General of Qin had completely stopped thinking.

The five thousand Qin Army and five generals promised just now are nothing? Now they even hear the First Emperor is asking Wu Liang for something!?

This is not a command or decree, but a discussion of strategy with Wu Liang!

What exactly happened in those few minutes when these two men were absent?

"Haha, of course, I understand, but I can only say that I will do my best and cannot guarantee that I can fully explore and understand. Your Majesty, you should know the difficulty of this task is like climbing to the heavens." Wu Liang agreed to the First Emperor's words with a chuckle.

He was clearly referring to the true identity of the ink-black gelatinous substance within the body.

Although he previously said on the top of the hall that he didn't know, but in reality, being the First Emperor and unable to understand his own physical condition, how could he not care?

Those five thousand Qin Army soldiers are his effort as the First Emperor to aid future generations, no matter what happens he will assist Director Long.

And the five Great Qin generals are a transaction the First Emperor and Wu Liang made.

Wu Liang must assist the First Emperor in investigating and clarifying what those ink-black gel substances truly are.

This should be exactly what Wu Liang wanted, even without the condition of five City-Slaying Great Qin generals, he actually wanted to understand what the situation of the First Emperor truly was.

And what the familiarity in the aura the other mentioned really meant.

"No worries, I naturally understand its difficulty, you just need to do your best." The First Emperor nodded with satisfaction, then turned his gaze to the General of Qin beside him and said, "Bai Qi, summon Li Xin, Meng Tian, Wang Jian and Wang Ben to immediately go forth, to open up peace for future generations!"

Hearing the names the First Emperor mentioned, even with Wu Liang's limited historical knowledge, he was taken aback and couldn't help but look at the General of Qin.

He is... Bai Qi!?

Having butchered four hundred thousand Zhao Army soldiers, his killing intent and brutality were extremely rare in the vast river of history, crowned with the title "Man Slaughter," his name spread fear far and wide.

At this time, Bai Qi, who received the decree, nodded in response and stood up to head outside the hall to notify the other four generals.

As he turned, he glanced at Director Long and grinned, showing his goodwill to this leader from the future.

However, Director Long, being glanced at, felt nothing but a chill down his spine, as if he were prey being targeted by a fierce beast, he couldn't help but shiver.

Moments later, he also discovered another problem within— the timelines don't match.

In actual history, Bai Qi died around 257 BC, and the ruler then was King Zhaoxiang of Qin, which was the First Emperor's great-grandfather!

Bai Qi and the First Emperor should have had no intersection, since before the First Emperor Ying Zheng was born, Bai Qi had already passed away.

Yet now, within this Apang Palace, the ages of both seem not to differ much.

Just like this nonexistent Apang Palace, this situation shouldn't exist either!

"Lord of the future, I hope you don't let me down, you must cleanse this bright realm from those filthy elements!" the First Emperor spoke looking at Director Long who was lost in his thoughts.

"I will do my utmost!"

Whether in promise to this possibly fictitious First Emperor or to himself, Director Long would definitely give his all to protect the human civilization of Huaxia.

When uttering these words, it was as if a raging fire was burning in his eyes.

At this time, Wu Liang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, during the time of army consolidation, may I ask boldly— do I need to stay in Apang Palace to help investigate? Within this hall, I fear no conclusions can be reached. When the army departs, I should also leave, and report back once I have conclusions, is that alright?"

Wu Liang realized that since everything within this Apang Palace was under the First Emperor's control, nothing about the ink-black gel substance could be found here, otherwise the First Emperor himself would have investigated it.

Now he had a new plan.

That was to go out and find the Pioneer, to learn about the situation of the First Emperor from them.

Since the current First Emperor understands that fierce ghosts are rampant outside and supernatural calamities are ravaging, one way or another he would send the army to help suppress the evil spirits.

In the previous world experienced by the Pioneer, where Yao Qingxue was the official leader and humanity ultimately perished in the supernatural calamity.

The First Emperor must have appeared, right?

Wu Liang couldn't believe that the official organization didn't study anything about this bizarre Qin Dynasty with countless Red Robe and unknown City-Slaying General level individuals.

Until the moment humanity was annihilated, there would surely be some understanding of the First Emperor, correct?

"Of course, you may freely explore this matter, I won't force you to remain within Apang Palace." The First Emperor said with a smile.

Beside him, Director Long listened in bewilderment, not understanding what these two were discussing.

But he did not ask openly, because if this matter needed him to know, Wu Liang would not hide it from him; at worst he could ask after leaving Apang Palace.

He just didn't understand why the First Emperor was so close to Wu Liang.

"Oh, almost forgot— those fierce ghosts gathered outside Apang Palace, what were they planning to come in to take? Your Majesty, do you know?" Wu Liang said, scrutinizing the First Emperor with his gaze.

Because the Puppet Ghost in his mind was frantically babbling— "Brother, you smell lovely!" "Boss, come closer, let me sniff you!" "Even just a whiff is life-extending!"

The object mentioned was, of course, the First Emperor on the dragon throne!

So does it mean the City-annihilating Ghosts previously came for this eternal monarch?

Hearing Wu Liang's words, the First Emperor paused, then took out an object from his sleeve with a puzzled expression: "Those filthy entities must have come for this."

It was a silver-white orb with delicate patterns, approximately the width of a thumb, appearing extremely exquisite.

"This… Elixir of Immortality!?"
