'Fleeting Time Monogatari' was the absolute secret of the Liu Nian Family. It was said that Fleeting Time had a premonition of his impending doom when he participated in the final battle in Sichuan, so he spent ten days writing it.
'Fleeting Time Monogatari' was equivalent to Kenzu's autobiography. Kenzu had recorded his entire life in 'Fleeting Time Monogatari', including many of his most secretive matters.
At the same time, 'Fleeting Time Monogatari' also recorded many of Kenzu's messages to his descendants, as well as some of his requests. For example, if his descendants were to meet Gilgamesh, they must be killed by his sword spirit.
In addition, there were also some prophecies recorded in "Fleeting Time Story". It was said that the Sword Ancestor had predicted all the major events that would happen 3,000 years later in "Fleeting Time Story". The Liunian Family had relied on the prophecies in "Fleeting Time Story" to survive through crisis after crisis.
All in all, 'Fleeting Time Monogatari' was an extremely mysterious book. Aside from the Liu Nian Family and a few other families, no one knew of its existence.
Even in the Liu Nian Family, not everyone had the right to read 'Fleeting Time Monogatari'. According to the rules, only the head of the family over the age of 60 had the right to read 'Fleeting Time Monogatari'.
Thus, in the entire Liu Nian Family, only Fleeting Time Wooden Fish had read 'Fleeting Time Monogatari'. As for Liunian Ling's father, he would have to wait another seven years before he could read 'Fleeting Time Monogatari', while Liunian Ling would have to wait another 41 years.
Logically speaking, when Liunian Ling asked Fleeting Time Wooden Fish to read 'Fleeting Time Monogatari', Fleeting Time Wooden Fish should have rejected her decisively. However, Fleeting Time Wooden Fish hesitated as he recalled a line in 'Fleeting Time Monogatari'.
"Any descendants who wish to read the 《Fleeting Time Monogatari》 after meeting my brother Ying Zheng can read the story on page 128 of the 《Fleeting Time Monogatari》."
In other words, if any of his descendants from the Fleeting Years Calendar met Ying Zheng and requested to read the Fleeting Story, they would be allowed to browse through the story recorded on page 128 of the Fleeting Story.
Fleeting Time Wooden Fish did not think much of the words when he first read them. After all, not a single one of his descendants had seen the mysterious Ying Zheng in the past 1000 years. It was impossible for such a thing to happen while he was still alive.
But today, when Fleeting Wooden Fish received news from the Shanhai Pass Management Committee that Ying Zheng had returned to the world, and that Ying Zheng had rescued Liunian Ling together with Guhan, Fleeting Wooden Fish could not help but think of this, and he began to panic.
Just as Fleeting Time Wooden Fish had feared, Ying Zheng had told Liunian Ling many things, and Liunian Ling had expressed her desire to read "Fleeting Time Monogatari".
"Forget it!
Since the Old Ancestor has spoken, I can't escape from this. It looks like I'll have to let Ling read page 128! "
Fleeting Time Wooden Fish felt a headache coming on. The information recorded on page 128 was too important, and Liunian Ling would not be able to accept it if word of it were to spread. Even Fleeting Time Wooden Fish was shocked for 3 hours when he first read page 128.
Fortunately, Fleeting Wooden Fish was already in his sixties at the time. His knowledge and experience were far greater than Fleeting Ling's, which was why he was able to accept the situation calmly. Fleeting Wooden Fish could not imagine what would have happened to Fleeting Wooden Fish when he saw the scene.
However, there was one thing that Fleeting Time Wooden Fish was certain of. Once Liunian Ling finished reading page 128, she and Guhan would become strangers. Fleeting Time Wooden Fish did not know if this was a good or bad thing for Ling. He could only blame the complicated relationship between the Fleeting Family and the Gu Family.
… …
Time passed by quickly. It had been a month since the investigation team from the Union of Swordsmen arrived at Shanhai Pass.
Over the past month, the investigation team had repeatedly confirmed that the Sorcerer Tribe's Grand Sorcerers had not been resurrected. Furthermore, the Sorcerers who had been killed could not be resurrected. Their blood would only coagulate and turn into a drop of blood.
Due to the inability to resurrect, the population of the Wu people was dwindling under the continuous attacks of the Swordsmen. Many of the Wu people began to hide in the lush forests to avoid being hunted by the humans. They no longer dared to initiate any attacks on the humans.
Because of this, after a month of investigation and confirmation, the investigation team finally came to the conclusion that the Blood Essence of the Grand Wizard had indeed been completely destroyed, and the Grand Wizard could not be resurrected. Humans could finally be freed from the sad Shanhai Pass that was filled with tears and blood.
The results of the investigation caused the entire human society to be in an uproar. People in every city began to sing and dance in celebration of this great victory. Not only did this mean that humans no longer had to worry about their loved ones dying in Shanhai Pass, but it also meant that humans could finally mobilize a huge force from Shanhai Pass. The base cities became safer, and the forces that humans could mobilize also greatly increased!
According to the conclusion of a certain expert, due to the impact of the great victory in Shanhai Pass, the strength of humans had increased by about 10% in an instant. This was something that was worth celebrating and dancing for.
However, under the influence of some scheming people, the greatest victory was mainly given to two people. One was naturally the young mistress of the Liunian Family, Liunian Ling. Without any hesitation, as long as people heard Liunian Ling's name in the list of meritorious contributors, they would naturally give the main credit to Liunian Ling.
What a joke!
Such an important victory was not won by the great Liunian Family, but by that damned Yuzhang bastard, Guhan?
The second person was Emperor Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng, who had appeared like a comet. In fact, the Sword Council had deliberately concealed the matter of Ying Zheng. However, when Ying Zheng returned to Yanjing City for investigation, all kinds of news about Ying Zheng, be it on the internet or in the newspapers, came crashing down on humans in various ways.
In just one day, all the human beings learned that the Human Emperor three thousand years ago, the great Emperor Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, was not dead. Instead, he had lived until now through a miraculous art of immortality, and had been secretly protecting the human race all this time.
There were also a lot of photographic evidence in the newspapers, and there were also many videos on the Internet of Ying Zheng with many famous figures in history. For example, there was a video of Ying Zheng playing chess with the Sword Ancestor. The Sword Ancestor even called Ying Zheng 'Big Brother' intimately, while Ying Zheng called the Sword Ancestor 'Second Brother'.
There were even twenty to thirty web novels that began to vividly describe all the great things that Ying Zheng had done in the past 1,000 years.
Such overwhelming propaganda forced the humans to quickly accept that one of their ancestors from 3,000 years ago was still alive, and that he was a great savior secretly protecting the human race.
It was only then that the Sword Council realized that Ying Zheng had secretly built up a lot of power over the past 1,000 years, and this power had finally exploded in an instant. There were even many highly respected swordbearers who came forward to say that they had fought side by side with Ying Zheng in his previous life. These swordbearers were telling the truth. They had indeed fought side by side with Ying Zheng in his previous life. It was something that happened about 60 years ago, but these venerable old swordbearers were still children in their twenties or thirties, while Ying Zheng was already an old man in his eighties or nineties at that time.
Ying Zheng and these old swordbearers all acknowledged each other, and told them many things that had happened in the past, convincing them.
These venerable old swordbearers had a huge network of connections that even the Sword Council found it hard to resist. Therefore, the council dared not to do anything bad to Ying Zheng. On top of that, the entire investigation process was broadcasted live on TV.
As Ying Zheng only told those things that had happened in the past, the result of the investigation became clearer and clearer, and the fact that Ying Zheng was Qin Shi Huang was accepted by more and more people. Coupled with the fact that Ying Zheng had killed the Wu people, the Sword Council finally acknowledged Ying Zheng's identity with a fifty percent reluctance and a fifty percent reluctance. They publicly granted Ying Zheng citizenship and a large number of rewards to reward him for his contribution in maintaining the neutrality of Shanhai Pass.
When Ying Zheng accepted the citizenship, he even held a large-scale ceremony through TV. During the ceremony, he publicly announced that he was willing to establish a fund with all the rewards he had received, to reward those ancient and treasured swordbearers who were still fighting on the frontline.
At the end of the ceremony, he even announced that because he had absorbed Zu Wu's blood essence, he would become the new Zu Wu in ten years at the latest.
After becoming Zu Wu, he would truly be immortal, and he would no longer need to turn back into a baby and be buried in a grave.
Finally, Ying Zheng promised all the people that he would continue to provide protection for mankind for the next hundred years, one thousand years, or even ten thousand years. Mankind would have an Emperor Sword bearer who would never ascend!
After such a big promotion, people all over the world cheered and jumped for joy. Some people even shed tears of excitement, shouting that mankind was finally saved … Long live His Majesty, Qin Shi Huang, and other such things.
The popularity of this news overshadowed all other news. For a whole year, the topic on people's lips was Ying Zheng … It was just like when Trump was elected president of the United States, the topic of the people in the United States could never be separated from Trump.
All in all, the biggest contributor of the Shanhai Pass battle, Guhan, was overshadowed by the clamor. This was in line with the thoughts of some of the higher-ups of the Sword Council. Therefore, other than a reward that was given to Guhan like Liunian Ling and Ying Zheng, Guhan did not receive any other benefits. Most people did not even know who the real contributor was.
