But at this moment, three figures emerged from the three coffins behind...

"Hehe, no need to shake them. I merely made them faint, didn't harm them. They'll be fine," said the elderly man in the middle, wearing a crown and dragon robe, with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ye Hao quickly turned around. When he saw the three somewhat ethereal figures silently appearing behind him, Ye Hao was not afraid but calmly looked at the three figures and asked, "You must be King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Ying Ze, right?"

Ye Hao's calm demeanor seemed to catch Ying Ze off guard. He looked at Ye Hao with surprise, and after a while, he spoke, "Indeed, it is I..."

"This junior pays respect to King Qin, Senior Bai Qi, and Senior Wei Ran," Ye Hao bowed respectfully.

King Zhaoxiang of Qin was puzzled about where Ye Hao's courage came from, seeing such soul-like entities without any reaction.

"No longer a king, died long ago, leaving only a soul," King Zhaoxiang of Qin remarked casually with a smile.

"A king for a day, revered for all eternity," Ye Hao said with a smile, but he kept the eighth-generation system on alert for any emergencies.

"You're exaggerating. I was just waiting with a hint of obsession for you all; otherwise, I would have long departed with my uncle and general, reincarnated," King Zhaoxiang of Qin chuckled.

"Thank you, King Qin. Does Celestial Awakening have any instructions for us?" Ye Hao gathered from King Zhaoxiang's words that he must have been arranged by the past Celestial Awakening to wait for him, implying it's time for King Zhaoxiang to leave since Ye Hao and others have appeared.

"To think a young person like you sees things so clearly, you're promising material, truly promising material! But alas, my dynasty has been gone for a thousand years; there's no arrangement I can make for you. Nonetheless, Celestial Awakening asked me to pass on a message to you, would you be interested in hearing it?" King Zhaoxiang of Qin praised Ye Hao and then intended to convey Celestial Awakening's message.

"I can listen, what instructions does Celestial Awakening have for this junior?" Ye Hao asked.

Ye Hao also understood that Celestial Awakening was certainly no ordinary person; if an ordinary person, how could he foresee Ye Hao before the Qin Dynasty unifies Huaxia? Even urging King Zhaoxiang to leave the Qin Kingdom to wait in a barren land for hundreds of years for Ye Hao.

"If you're willing to hear it, then I shall speak," King Zhaoxiang of Qin said.

Ye Hao nodded.

"With Wood Attribute leaves, Heaven-Filling Heroic Spirit's vigor, the path has glimpsed the heavens' secrets, learning that three thousand years later, Earth shall face a calamity, which may lead to the demise of Earth's fifth era. But when glimpsing the heavens' secrets, I glimpsed a chance to preserve the fifth era and transition to another era," King Zhaoxiang of Qin relayed the complete message from Celestial Awakening to Ye Hao.

"Earth, having gone through thirty chaotic epochs, from the ancient divine and demon era to the cultivation era, the cultivation truth era, the Warring States era, and finally to your National Martial Arts era, which constitutes the fifth era. Yet, the fifth era can at most last for three hundred years, after which Earth will face destruction once again."

"Why?" Ye Hao asked impatiently.

King Zhaoxiang of Qin waved his hand to stop Ye Hao from speaking and continued to deliver Celestial Awakening's words.

"The path knows your confusion as to why the National Martial Arts era can only last for three hundred years. It is because every era's transition necessitates the extinction of all living beings, allowing new beings to evolve into humans and all things, which is the true era transition. But alas, the end of the Warring States era was concluded by Earth's people themselves, not a genuine extinction."

"Don't speak of unfairness, for this is heaven's favor; if not for heaven's favor, your appearance wouldn't be possible, nor would the National Martial Arts era. Moreover, the National Martial Arts era will undergo another ten thousand years of evolution, potentially appearing in your era. You should be grateful that Earth's people ended the Warring States era themselves." King Zhaoxiang of Qin answered the questions Ye Hao was eager to ask.

"You only have three hundred years, and considering the path's speculation, you have used twenty-two years, leaving just two hundred seventy-eight years. Are you wondering whether the National Martial Arts fifth era will be ended by the earth's annihilation or by people? This is not something I can divulge, but you must remember one thing: every brother around you might be destined to meet this calamity; you must remember this."

King Zhaoxiang of Qin paused after speaking and then continued, "Huaxia, its heritage is far-reaching, much more than what you see with your eyes. Though eras change, nature is left desolate, it doesn't rule out the existence of powerful beings. With their immense power, they may conceal the heavens' secrets and potentially evade a calamity. The arrival of the sixth era might be the destruction of Earth's all creatures, or perhaps Earth's evolution into the first era, or the second era—all possibilities exist..."

"If evolving into the first era..." Ye Hao urgently wanted to ask, but King Zhaoxiang of Qin interjected before he finished.

"If evolving into the first era, Earth will become a vast and boundless world. If evolving into the second era, Earth will have Celestial Court and Underworld. If evolving into the third era, Earth will see a group of cultivators striving to become immortal. If evolving into the fourth era, Earth will face another global war. However, whatever era it evolves to, Earth ultimately faces annihilation, albeit with a glimmer of hope. That hope resides in you; within three hundred years, you must devote your energy to addressing the upcoming events."

"Don't ask why it must be you because the three brothers by your side are also destined to face this calamity. The path has said all there is, next you should lead your brothers to comprehend the heritage bestowed upon you well! Perhaps one day, we shall meet again..." King Zhaoxiang of Qin finished his message, looking towards Ye Hao.

He smiled slightly without interrupting Ye Hao's contemplation.

After a long time, Ye Hao finally raised his head to ask, "What does the last part, 'we shall meet again,' mean?"

King Zhaoxiang of Qin waved his hand and smiled, "Everything requires your own understanding, but remember, you must comprehend the Emperor's Heart Skill well. Additionally, lead your three brothers, earnestly practice Celestial Sorrow Saber Technique, Dark Sword Swordsmanship, and Yin Yang Blade; sooner or later, these martial arts will be needed."

"Alright!" Ye Hao nodded, even though everything felt quite bewildering, he knew King Zhaoxiang of Qin would not have wasted his entire life to deceive Ye Hao.

Perhaps, this is truly an arrangement from the unseen!

"Since you have understood Celestial Awakening's instructions, I shall also leave with my general and uncle," King Zhaoxiang of Qin said with a hint of relief.

Ye Hao fell to his knees...(To be continued. If you enjoyed this work, feel free to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com for reading.)
