6: His Majesty wishes to see you!
Evidently, Lin Fei's Soul had Transmigrated, while his body remained on Earth.
It was unclear if this was an accident or a certainty.
If it was a certainty, it meant that anyone who died or underwent Soul Emergence near him could potentially Transmigrate to his world.
Lu Chen hesitated, wondering whether to eliminate Lin Fei, as he knew about Earth.
However, after some thought, he decided it was still within a controllable range for now; he would observe what variables a Transmigrator might introduce.
If things went awry, he could always destroy the entire world and restart...
For several days, Lin Fei still couldn't believe he had actually Transmigrated.
He was held under house arrest by Bai Qi in a room, told to first understand this world, and that His Majesty would personally summon him in a few days.
Strangely, the written language of this world was not Chinese, yet Lin Fei could recognize it. Was this a Transmigrator's cheat?
Through a crack in the door, Lin Fei glimpsed mountains floating in the distance, with countless Cultivators traversing the skies on Magical Artifacts.
This was a cultivation world, yet it was completely different from what he had imagined.
After poring over numerous ancient texts, Lin Fei finally pieced together the outline of this world.
The Great Qin Empire ruled this world with absolute military might.
There were no carefree Immortal Cultivation Sects here, only a strict Rank system and iron-blooded laws.
Every Great Qin citizen, from birth, had a loyalty to qin seal embedded in their forehead, which was not only a symbol of Imperial identity but also a form of surveillance.
Deep within Xianyang Palace lay a mysterious crystal—the ling shu core—revered as a divine object by Great Qin.
It possessed sentience and could read the fluctuations of every loyalty to qin seal.
Should anyone harbor thoughts of rebellion, the ling shu core would light up with the corresponding name.
The Heavens Punishment Legion, under Bai Qi's command, would immediately execute the traitor.
Lin Fei was speechless; how had he Transmigrated to such a Hell-difficulty world? He had no room to develop discreetly.
Because he lacked a loyalty to qin seal, no matter where he went, he would be treated as a follower of the Demonic Path and executed!
"I wonder if Xiaojuan misses me."
Lin Fei's spine suddenly chilled.
Oh no!
What about Xiaojuan, now that he had Transmigrated here?
Xiaojuan was his online girlfriend; they had been together for a year. Xiaojuan was a kind and beautiful girl, living with her grandfather and earning a living by growing tea.
Xiaojuan couldn't leave because she needed to take care of her grandfather.
So Lin Fei used all the money he earned to buy the tea grown by her family.
Xiaojuan had promised Lin Fei that once they saved enough money, she would send her grandfather to a nursing home, and then they could get married.
Xiaojuan! Xiaojuan!
Lin Fei roared!
He had to go back! He absolutely had to find a way to return to Earth!
The door opened, and Bai Qi entered.
"Your Majesty wishes to see you," Bai Qi's voice was as cold as ice. "Speak well, and do not lie—a mere mortal like you cannot hide even your heartbeat within His Majesty's Divine Sense network."
Lin Fei followed Bai Qi, stepping onto the floating staircase.
With each step, Lin Fei felt as if a hundred pounds of weight were added to his shoulders.
Nine hundred ninety-nine steps wound directly into the clouds, flanked by bronze colossal statues holding demon-subduing staffs, their oppressive aura so substantial it made Lin Fei's knees tremble.
Passing through three white jade archways carved with ancient proverbs, Lin Fei finally saw the majestic palace named "Efang Heavenly Palace."
Thirty-six coiling Dragon pillars reached to the dome, and the floor was not paved with golden bricks but with profound crystals that reflected human figures.
Two rows of Black Armored Guards held their ge-spears crossed, forming a death passage.
"You are the one Bai Qi spoke of, the person from another world!"
The voice boomed like thunder, and Lin Fei's knees buckled, causing him to crash heavily onto the profound crystal floor.
As he looked up, he saw the owner of the voice—Emperor Qin.
Emperor Qin was clad in a Black Dragon robe, each Dragon pattern exhaling purple lightning.
"Yes, I am!" Lin Fei stammered, finding even breathing difficult.
"Tell me about your world," Emperor Qin's voice carried absolute authority. "If there is a single false word, I will refine your Soul into lamp oil, to eternally illuminate this Efang Golden Palace."
Lin Fei took a deep breath and began to speak: "My home is called Earth. There is no cultivation there, but there are airplanes that can carry people through the sky, high-speed trains that travel a thousand li a day, and mobile phones that can communicate with people thousands of li away..."
As he spoke, the expressions of the people in the hall varied.
Bai Qi slightly frowned, his hand unconsciously tightening on the sword at his waist;
Master Craftsman Ban's eyes glowed, and he rapidly recorded notes on bamboo slips from time to time;
Wang Jian, however, closed his eyes in contemplation, seemingly integrating these unfamiliar concepts with his own understanding.
Only Emperor Qin sat under the nine-layered canopy, his expression unreadable.
When Lin Fei spoke of China's five-thousand-year history, from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to the Qin, Han, Tang, and Song dynasties, from the Four Great Inventions to modern technology, gasps of astonishment echoed through the hall.
The historian's brush could barely keep up with his speaking speed, and the parchment was densely filled with never-before-seen terms.
"So, in your world, there are no Cultivators, yet you can accomplish so many incredible things?" Emperor Qin finally spoke, his voice low and chilling.
"Yes," Lin Fei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "And on Earth, a Great Qin Empire also once appeared..."
Everyone exchanged glances, unable to believe such a "chaotic" place existed in the world;
Master Craftsman Ban suddenly stood up, excitedly asking, "Do you have detailed blueprints for those things called mobile phones, televisions, and warships?"
Lin Fei was speechless: "I'm just a game booster; I don't know anything. How could I know blueprints?"
Master Craftsman Ban was not discouraged: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. As long as you draw them and give me a detailed explanation of their functions and uses, I might be able to create them!"
Emperor Qin's expression grew increasingly grim.
He had originally believed himself to be the greatest person of all time, having swept across the eight directions and established the Great Qin Empire. He had not expected to be merely a frog in a well, with such a vast world existing outside.
This cognitive shock caused this arrogant Emperor unprecedented frustration.
"My beloved ministers, what do you think?"
The Yin and Yang Master Zou Yan stepped forward, bowing and saying, "Your Majesty need not worry. Ancient scrolls say there are three thousand Major Thousand Worlds and countless Minor Thousand Worlds.
The existence of other worlds is nothing to be surprised about. In my humble opinion, we should seize this opportunity to understand the mysteries of this new world. Perhaps we can find a way to counter the world-ending calamity from it."
Bai Qi said in a deep voice, "Zou Yan is absolutely right, but this young man's origins are unknown, and what he says is too bizarre; we still need to be cautious."
Emperor Qin, worthy of being an Eternal Emperor, quickly adjusted himself: "Lin Fei, I believe you have already seen the ancient stone tablet rubbings Bai Qi gave you. What are your thoughts and suggestions regarding the world-ending disaster...?"
Observing this, Lu Chen was also filled with curiosity, wondering what advice Lin Fei, as a Transmigrator, would offer.
Although in daily life, his neighbor Lin Fei had been quite good to him, often inviting him to share meals.
Sometimes, when happy, he would even treat him to barbecue downstairs.
But if his own safety were truly threatened, then Lu Chen would have to act!
