Chapter 616: The Dragon's Rise
Chapter 616: The Dragon's Rise
Amidst the vast sea of people, I can only try to see if I can find him.
Qin Muye felt a bit disoriented as he walked through the modern city. Searching for the reincarnation of an emperor in the modern world was indeed quite bizarre.
After a conversation with Doctor Long, and through some probing, he learned that the World Defenders Organization had yet to find the original spirit of the First Emperor. Without hesitation, Qin Muye dispatched a clone to search for the reincarnated spirit.
Before this, he had tried to beat the information out of the Xuantai who was masquerading as the Dragon-Snake God, but the Xuantai was incredibly stubborn, leaving Qin Muye feeling quite discouraged.
He even considered extracting the memories directly, but the Xuantai wasn't a regular fleshy being, so he failed.
With no other choice, he decided to find the spirit first and then try to threaten it.
A deal was out of the question. Despite the Xuantai's smooth talk, Qin Muye could tell from its stubborn tone that it had no intention of handing over the Dragon Vein technique.
This was further confirmed by the intelligence gathered by Doctor Long and himself.
The Omega-class anomaly, the First Emperor, had a greed and passion for power far beyond Qin Muye's imagination. This was a collective trait of all emperors.
The Dragon Vein was the key to ruling the world, and there was no way the Xuantai would give this key to Qin Muye.
From the beginning, the Xuantai had been misleading Qin Muye. In the First Emperor's eyes, once his spirit returned, he would regain control of the Dragon Vein and the full power of the Dragon-Snake God. Combined, he would be virtually invincible.
According to Qin Muye's calculations, this was indeed possible. The First Emperor was currently at the 9th tier, and the Dragon-Snake God and the Dragon Vein were at the same level, highly compatible. If the spirit acted as a mediator, he could become a complete 9th-tier being, one of immense power.
So, if the spirit were to be given to the First Emperor, it would create a complete 9th-tier being, and ruling the world would not be out of the question—assuming Qin Muye could be defeated.
Although Qin Muye suspected that the First Emperor might be trying to get him to work for free, he still had to find the spirit.
This time, it would be coercion rather than a deal. Since the First Emperor was planning to take advantage of him, Qin Muye wasn't about to let him off the hook.
As the saying goes, a gentleman takes his revenge after ten years, but Qin Muye wasn't a gentleman. He would take his revenge from morning to night.
"The area I'm in now is likely a Dragon's Rise location. If the First Emperor's spirit has truly reincarnated, it will most likely appear here. Next, I need to find a malformed child."
"However, to be honest, this concept seems to have been dismissed as feudal superstition."
Qin Muye checked all the high-ranking officials of the modern era, and none of them exhibited the characteristics of an emperor.
He wasn't sure if they were hiding it or if the emperor's traits were in other positions.
As for the Dragon's Rise location, it naturally came from the Dragon Vein. Where else would it come from?
To a certain extent, the Dragon Vein could influence the rise and fall of dynasties. That's why the World Defenders Organization had so many Omega-class anomalies contained within the Dragon Vein, using it to draw out the residual world essence, or the First Emperor's so-called heaven and earth power.
Qin Muye didn't mind; he wasn't afraid of being absorbed. The Dragon Vein didn't have that ability.
On the contrary, the World Defenders Organization used the Dragon Vein to limit his world-devouring instincts.
Over the years, the World Defenders Organization's strength had steadily increased, and their control of the Dragon Vein played a significant role.
The Dragon Vein was the symbol of the World Defenders Organization's protagonist status.
Walking through the bustling metropolis, Qin Muye found himself in a bit of a bind. Where could he find the spirit?
"I remember Doctor Long mentioned that the World Defenders Organization used an Omega-class anomaly called the Crystal of the World to determine I wasn't the Son of Hades. Perhaps that thing can find the First Emperor's spirit as well."
As he said this, he wasn't entirely confident. If it could find the spirit, it would have been contained long ago, and wouldn't be wandering around.
Moreover, if his main body were here, it would be possible, but he wasn't his main body; he was just a clone, specifically the unfortunate Shadow Book transformation clone.
His abilities were limited to three: the Prayer Spell, Shadow Book transformation, and summoning Crystal Beasts.
Although his strength had now reached the 8th tier, in this instance world, 8th tier was considered high-ranking but not top-tier.
He had to hide himself well; he certainly didn’t want to be contained by a sudden appearance of a special task force. Currently, his situation actually classified him as an anomaly.
"World Crystal is out of the question. I might as well use the Prayer Spell honestly and see if I can accomplish this with the least amount of expenditure."
Qin Muye continuously tested using the Prayer Spell indirectly or directly, but no matter how he modified it, it didn’t work, as if it were being blocked.
"Indeed, I can’t keep up with the times." Qin Muye sighed.
The First Emperor's spirit wasn’t a simple existence; it was 9th tier. Even if it was incomplete, it was still 9th tier. The Prayer Spell had reached its limit, with the highest being 8th tier, so it was impossible to use it to spy on a 9th-tier entity.
"I’ll take one step at a time. Even if the First Emperor's spirit has reincarnated, it will need to achieve something significant. When the time comes, I’ll see who is the pig riding the wind, and then I’ll visit them one by one."
This spirit of the First Emperor was of extraordinary origin and definitely had remarkable talents. Of course, even without using the LORD: Age of Domination game, he could see the other's extraordinary nature.
"Plot event? Wait, can a clone trigger a temporary skill???" Qin Muye was a bit disoriented.
"Oh, a clone is actually a part of the main body, so it can indeed trigger it."
"So, should I join in the fun?"
The distance shouldn’t be far, and it was targeting him as a clone.
"I have to say, the frequency of anomaly events these days is a bit abnormal." Qin Muye decisively chose to join in the fun.
There was no need to worry about the clone causing too much trouble. It was highly unlikely that something would happen that would wipe out the entire world, so he might as well enjoy the show and use it as a chance to level up his temporary skills.
For others, lowering their presence might require careful consideration, but for Qin Muye, the lower the better. If his presence were to disappear or even become negative, then he could do whatever he wanted without anyone interfering.
Rushing to the scene, he found himself in an apartment complex.
"Thank goodness the Ghost Realm has already been contained; otherwise, we’d have a haunted apartment on our hands." Qin Muye muttered.
But it wasn’t a haunted apartment; it seemed to be a murder case.
No one had discovered it yet because of his ability to arrive quickly and his super-fast speed, so he was the first to get there.
Looking up, he saw a man and a woman arguing on the rooftop, apparently over a romantic issue.
Soon, a crowd gathered around, just like Qin Muye, to watch the spectacle.
The argument grew more intense, and Qin Muye wondered where the anomaly was. It couldn’t be the couple, could it? They didn’t look like it.
"Damn."
Qin Muye quickly backed away as he saw two shadows plummet from the sky, landing right in front of him, splattering everywhere.
If he hadn’t moved fast, he would have been covered in blood.
The people at the front certainly didn’t have his luck. Their clothes were now stained with red and white, making them look terrible.
Seeing the gruesome scene on the ground, the onlookers started feeling queasy, and many began to retch.
They had come to watch a spectacle, but they hadn’t expected to see such a horrifying sight.
Under normal circumstances, they might have cheered them on to jump, but after witnessing this, they would likely have trouble sleeping for a while.
After all, they were modern people, and they had never seen anything like this before.
The mental shock directly affected their physical well-being.
Fortunately, official personnel arrived quickly, set up a perimeter, and began questioning the shaken onlookers.
Qin Muye had moved to the back, so he was only briefly questioned before they moved on to others.
"So, where is that anomaly?" Qin Muye looked around but found nothing.
Then he focused on the two bodies. If it weren’t for some object affecting them, they were likely just two unfortunate souls who had died and were now undergoing some form of mutation.
"Don’t let it be another horror-type anomaly." Qin Muye’s eyes twitched. It had to be at least an Alpha-class anomaly; otherwise, it wouldn’t trigger a plot event. A Beta-class anomaly would only qualify if there was an evolution or something similar; otherwise, its impact and harm weren’t significant enough.
