Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1168 Merit
Titus is back, sooner than expected.

[The urgency over there was quite strong. Knowing that they were waiting for him to report back, he was rushed back as soon as he returned to the 'Waiting Hall'.]

"Then what did he take to come back?"

[The submarine is already in the fleet, and his body was spawned inside the submarine. So most of his time might have been spent on the way from the submarine to you.]

"Good fellow!" Shangluo looked back at Titus. He even looked more radiant than before.

"Are you okay?"

"Of course I'm fine. I'm better now than ever before. The wound torn in my soul by Xudela's blood has now completely healed. I am whole again. According to Lord Xu Fu, my three souls have been kneaded together by him."

"Is he helping you?"

“That’s not the case.” Titus shook his head. “I think he really wanted to capture me. I just escaped. But when I was locked in the Six Soul Banner, I saw another person—”

He paused: "I saw Xu Fu himself."

"Hmm? Wait a minute." Shangluo examined the Six Soul Banner, "Where is it? I don't see it. I just picked it up."

"Most likely he ran away."

"What did you see Xu Fu like?"

"Chained up with iron chains - but I need to ask for a piece of information first. It was Xu Fu who told me. He said that people have three souls, namely Taiguang, Shuangling and Youjing. Among them, the Yuanshen Taiguang yearns for immortality, the Yangshen Shuangling yearns for glory, and the Yinshen Youjing yearns for wealth and honor in the world. The Xu Fu I saw in the Six Soul Banner was bound by many chains. That might be his Youjing soul, the earthly energy that yearns for wealth and honor in the world, and his desire. And what bound his desire was most likely his Yangshen."

"How did you know?"

"Because Xu Fu analyzed my existence when we met - it was through his enlightenment that I learned that the reason why those of us who drank the blood of Hydra were divided like this is because there are primordial spirits, yang spirits and yin spirits. I didn't realize that I was incomplete before. I think Xu Fu himself may not realize that he is not a complete Xu Fu."

"Ah," Shangluo nodded, "You mean, there is someone else who is really behind all this?"

"I think it might be Xu Fu's spirit that is controlling all this."

"Then why did he do that?"

"I know something." Suddenly, Fu Yuanshan came back, "First of all, I can confirm that Xu Fu's soul does exist. I tested it just now, and the Xu Fu who waved the Six Soul Banner at you did not have any magic power, which means that the Xu Fu who repeatedly entered our fleet to rescue people was not this Xu Fu. The real Xu Fu with 2000 years of cultivation is probably still watching us silently. As for the reason why he did this..."

Fu Yuanshan looked up at the sky: "Perhaps, he wants to use us to kill his Yang God and Yin God so that his Yuan Shen can escape."

"Is there such a fighting method???" "Xu Fu is an ancient alchemist, I am not surprised at all that he has such a fighting method. Maybe he has some reason why he cannot kill himself, so he asked us to take action - of course, the reason may not be that simple, but this is the motive I can think of now."

"So Xu Fu's Yang Shen may know nothing?"

"You can go and ask for details. Oh, by the way, Titus, you can go too. You are the first person to discover Xu Fu. You can ask questions about what he said and what he did."

"No problem, this is what I'm good at." Titus was a little excited, as if he was going to carry out a mission plot.

"Mr. Xu Fu, I have a key question for you." Titus asked straight to the point, "I heard you say something that I think can be used as the beginning of our conversation and can also set the tone for this conversation."

"Go on." Xu Fu looked as if he had aged 2000 years, and even lacked the strength to speak.

"I want to ask - what exactly do you mean by 'my fight against the Qin finally ends'?"

"Everyone, are you all latecomers?" Xu Fu raised his head and looked at everyone. "I am so stupid, really. I actually thought that Daqin was still alive, and I actually thought that you were here to get medicine. I took in so many boys and girls, but I didn't refine any of them. I didn't dare to refine any of them! I just hid them on this island. I just wanted to be rich and famous in the world. I really didn't refine any of them!"

"I know that." Shangluo waved his hand, "Let's get to the point. Do you think I'm from Daqin? What do you want to do?"

"I thought you were the medicine-seeking envoys from the Qin Dynasty. I wanted to present the elixir of immortality to the Qin Dynasty. I knew that according to Qin law, I would still be executed because I embezzled 3000 boys and girls from the First Emperor. I said I would present them to the East China Sea aquatic creatures, but I kept them myself. But after that, I dared not rest day and night until I refined the real golden elixir some time ago, and then I came out of retreat. I never thought that the flying snake riding the mist would eventually turn into dust! The Qin Dynasty has been dead for 2000 years! Who should I present this golden elixir to? How can I pay for my sins?"

"Hmm," Shangluo shook his head helplessly, "Who do you think we are?"

"You are not Daqin."

"Then we can be too." Shangluo replied, "Let me read it to you: Xia, Shang and Western Zhou, the Eastern Zhou is divided into two periods. Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, unified Qin and Han. Three Kingdoms of Wei, Chu and Wu, two Jin dynasties. Northern and Southern Dynasties coexisted, Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties. After Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the dynasty came to this. Bah, just ignore the latter part. Anyway, you see, there are so many behind your Great Qin."

"How come there are so many behind the Great Qin!!!" Xu Fu wailed in despair, "How many generations has the Great Qin been passed down? Prince Fusu is a wise and sage king, and he will definitely be able to inherit the great achievements of his father and grandfather. I have calculated for him, and he will definitely be able to do it."

"The premise is that he can inherit. The Qin Dynasty only had two generations. When the First Emperor died, the country was in chaos, and then the throne was passed to Hu Hai."

"It's over!" Xu Fu leaned back, "Hu Hai doesn't look like a king! Can he be an emperor with that face? He can't! I... I am really sinful! If the First Emperor could live forever, the Qin Dynasty would not be over!"

"That's not the point. The point is, look - although the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, its legal system has been passed down to this day. The present is also a rare golden age in ancient and modern times. Isn't this worse than the Qin Dynasty?"

Xu Fu suddenly sat up and said, "You all say that you can inherit the Great Qin Dynasty - then where is the imperial seal? If you can find the imperial seal, then your Great Ming Dynasty will be the Great Qin Dynasty. I will offer the golden elixir with both hands, and my merits will be fulfilled."

"I can show you the Imperial Seal. But I need to inspect the goods first! You spent 2000 years refining the golden elixir, I need to inspect its quality first."
