The sun rises in the east.

The morning sun bursts forth with dazzling brilliance.

The morning fog swirls, enveloping the mountains and forests, adding to the mystery.

Lishan.

Originally not famous in history.

But since over two thousand years ago, when the First Emperor chose it as his resting place, everything changed.

Since then, rumors about the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum have never been few, emerging almost periodically.

Especially since the arrival of the new era, the mountain rose in height, surrounded by dragon-shaped essence.

Almost all the Awakened ones, including everyday people, know.

There must be unimaginable fortunes within.

The future will surely hold greater achievements, gaining mythical extraordinary power.

So even if some people know they're weak, they still want to give it a try, maybe they'll succeed?

There's no choice, this era is unfamiliar, survival of the fittest, power is everything, no one doesn't aspire to be at the pinnacle.

At this moment, in front of Lishan Imperial Mausoleum.

It is a flat land, surrounded by hills, but none are high.

Usually deserted, but today, even at dawn, countless presences appear.

These are the Awakened who know the news and have come to seize the opportunity, now already taking action.

Because there are so many people, friction is inevitable.

But there are also incidents of Awakened encountering exotic beasts and engaging in battle.

Lu Yuan, on his way to Lishan Imperial Mausoleum, found many traces of blood, occasionally seeing human corpses, clothes scattered, perhaps ambushed by enemies along the way.

In Chang'an City, people would restrain themselves, but in such wild places it's different.

And in the genes of humans, there is inherently a wild nature.

Now it is completely activated.

Lu Yuan has seen too much in ten years, he's used to it.

But the closer he gets to Lishan, the less frequent these incidents become.

Everyone's goal is the same.

No one wants to waste too much time on the road.

Soon.

Lu Yuan saw the destination.

Ahead, about ten leagues away.

A huge mountain stands black in color, even the vegetation on it is the same, carrying a heavy aura, like a primordial giant mountain, making anyone standing before it seem insignificant.

And at the mountain top, rays of light continuously emerge, transforming into a rainbow hue, finally forming a dragon-shaped essence.

The dragon's head in the sky at ten thousand meters, gazing down at this land.

This is now the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum.

Ten thousand meters isn't considered a peak now.

But the momentum is so magnificent that no one can ignore it.

And below, many have already gathered, estimated to be no less than a few thousand.

Almost all of them are Awakened, having received the news and come from all directions.

They converse with each other but also remain guarded, no one knows if someone will stab them in the back after the mausoleum opens, unless they are genuine friends who understand each other.

Lu Yuan approaches, stepping into the crowd, calm and low-key.

At this moment, he also sees, outside the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum.

Layers of black energy surging.

These energies seem to emit from the mountain body, converging to form a hundred-meter-high portal.

The portal looks ancient, somewhat blurry, with double doors tightly shut.

As time passes.

The giant gate gradually stabilizes, soon it should fully appear.

Global changes, arrival of the extraordinary, such mythical phenomena are now common in famous mountains and rivers.

Therefore, those watching the mausoleum gate stare closely, eyes filled with amazement, but remain calm.

"No wonder the major forces can predict the opening time of the mausoleum."

Seeing this, Lu Yuan starts contemplating.

In his past life, he also entered Lishan Imperial Mausoleum, but as a newly Awakened, still an inconspicuous existence, could only watch from the side, gaining nothing.

Now.

He still stands among the crowd, but completely different.

Bzzz bzzz bzzz~

At this moment, the sky suddenly sounds with the roar of engines.

Everyone originally focused on the mausoleum gate turns their attention.

In the distance.

Helicopters appear, hovering in the sky.

And shockingly, these helicopters are equipped with heavy weapons.

"Looking at the symbols on the helicopters, they seem to belong to Wu Zhou Group, Beidou Biotechnology, Celestial God Technology, Longevity Gene."

"I've heard, at the dawn of changes, the government made some deals with them to maintain stability, allowing control over certain thermal weapons, seems true."

"No choice, given their power, combined with the current situation, perhaps they could even buy weapons from abroad."

"These...will these weapons be used against us?"

An Awakened speaks.

Recognizing the forces behind the helicopters.

They were shocked, not expecting such major forces to possess thermal weapons.

The crowd starts to rile, fearing that at a critical moment, they might be targeted.

After all, except for a few with special means, most Awakened don't have enough strength to withstand thermal weapons.

Lu Yuan sees it too, but remains indifferent.

For forces like Wu Zhou Group, they have profound heritage, the Zhou clan is an ancient family with its own Visualization Technique and Breathing Technique, usually not prominent, even without cooperation with official bodies, they could acquire many thermal weapons, especially in such times.

Officials must also resort to certain means to maintain stability.

He doesn't care.
