It had been less than half an hour since Wu Liang entered Apang Palace, but he felt as though he had been there for half a century.
The mystery of the First Emperor and his imposing presence that far exceeded the reality world kept the atmosphere within the grand hall at a constant, strange freezing point.
Now, the other party's remark left Wu Liang completely puzzled.
What did he mean by saying he already knew what he wanted to obtain? Have I said anything strange?
Wu Liang truly couldn't understand what was wrong with his words.
Even so, since the First Emperor had already said Wu Liang could ask whatever he wanted, Wu Liang naturally would not pass up the opportunity.
He boldly said, "Then I shall be direct! May I ask how you know about the existence of the reality world? And what is the deal with this stone tablet?"
Since the other party was toying with the stone tablet in research, surely he also knew where its power had gone.
Even Wu Liang, who possessed the Ghost Compendium, had only chosen to banish the stone tablet into spatial chaos at the time, unable to destroy it directly, let alone extract its power.
Who knows how this thing ended up in the hands of the First Emperor?
Seeing Wu Liang's confused expression, the First Emperor beckoned in his direction.
The weakened stone tablet slowly floated up and finally returned to the First Emperor's hand.
"I became aware of another world because of it," the First Emperor said with awe. "Countless years have passed since I obtained this stone tablet at the dawn of the world's creation. I have forgotten time; forgotten how many cities have fallen and risen again; forgotten how many fierce ghosts rose and were then exorcized, but I never forgot the moment I obtained it."
At this point, even the formidable face of the First Emperor showed a hint of longing and serenity.
He gently stroked the stone tablet and continued, "At first glance, I saw the path I needed to take within the inscription. The future of traversing worlds was set from the start, regardless of that endless chaotic era. I knew I would inevitably reign supreme!"
These words left Wu Liang stunned on the spot.
The dawn of the world's creation?
Wait a minute? Isn't there something off here!
"You said you got this stone tablet countless years ago, at the dawn of the world's creation? Are you sure it wasn't recently?" Wu Liang asked, uncertain.
This stone tablet was something I had my mom dispose of not long ago!
And it was thrown into the chaos of space, so how did it travel back countless years?
"Of course, it was during the time of the Red Robe. Through the guidance of its inscriptions, I built the incomparable Great Qin, gained invincible power among my peers, even as a Venerable," the First Emperor said with a smile.
His rise would be considered miraculous in the history of any Great Venerable!
An utterly ordinary Red-clothed Fierce Ghost, after obtaining the stone tablet, as if blessed by the divine, rapidly rose to become a Lord, then a Venerable, and finally even proposed the "War of Chaos" concept as a Great Venerable.
Bear in mind that when the First Emperor obtained the stone tablet, he was just a Red-clothed Fierce Ghost, while Zeus, Poseidon, Yue Du, and Da Yi were already at the Venerable Level.
The First Emperor's growth speed caught all fierce ghosts off guard. In their understanding, this powerhouse seemed to appear from nowhere, completely oblivious as to when he had become strong.
One could say that the First Emperor was truly the so-called chosen one in this Fierce Ghost World.
Based on the Fierce Ghost World, he was a bona fide protagonist template.
At this point, his smile became somewhat enigmatic.
With great interest, he retorted, "You don't think the stone tablet exists only in your world, do you? After researching for so many years, I understand it better than you, a mere two-decade-old youngster."
This comment directly enlightened Wu Liang!
Right! I had been constrained by a mental block!
Why did I think that since the Ghost Compendium was unique, the stone tablet must be unique as well?
Perhaps all worlds share a single Ghost Compendium, but maybe each world has its own stone tablet?
The stone tablet the First Emperor holds should be the one from the Fierce Ghost World!
The stone tablet from the reality world remains lost in the spatial chaos!
"I see... Not only did you use the stone tablet to become the First Emperor and establish Great Qin, but you also used it to see another world, a world dominated by humans where fierce ghosts were born from a spiritual resurgence, right?" Wu Liang squinted at the First Emperor's sharp eyes.
If the stone tablet on my side can reflect the summoning of the Ghost Compendium, it wouldn't be surprising if the stone tablet of the Fierce Ghost World could view another world!
"Precisely! Over two thousand years ago, I entered the stone tablet through divine meditation and saw a different version of myself, one who built Great Qin without any powers! Even though that experience lasted only a moment, I became aware of the existence of humans and understood the true meaning of the stone tablet." The First Emperor tossed the stone tablet back onto the table.
"Now, I shall reveal why the stone tablet appeared in this world!"
After speaking, the black halo atop the First Emperor's head ascended towards the ceiling in a slow yet immensely imposing manner.
Then, it penetrated the roof of Apang Palace as if it were an illusion, continuing to climb towards the sky.
