At this moment, Lin Qian saw himself being enveloped by a blood-red aura, with mysterious runes faintly emerging and emitting a faint glow, continually sweeping across his body.
"It seems this is an array working on me, trying to investigate something," Lin Qian muttered thoughtfully while looking at the blood light on his body.
Then, Lin Qian waved his hand to the few people in front of him, "You all may rise!"
"Your Majesty, do you know who has shown such disrespect to you? Hua Ling is willing to lead the Divine Sword Army to slay those who offend the empire's majesty!" Hua Ling's stunningly beautiful face was full of frost, her body trembling from excitement.
"Hua Ling, we followed His Majesty to this strange land, and the exit from the empire is within His Majesty's body. With your current strength, passing through the Sky Trace, His Majesty simply cannot withstand it; do you want to get His Majesty killed?" Zhuge Ming shook his head repeatedly, warning Hua Ling from the side.
In the valley, Lin Qian, who had returned to the Huaxia Empire for the first time, had already talked with Zhuge Ming and learned many things.
The Sky Trace was the vortex above the capital of the Huaxia Empire, connected to his Dantian.
When Lin Qian returned to the Huaxia Empire, the Sky Trace would disappear.
Lifeless objects of the Huaxia Empire could leave unobstructed, but generals who had gained life, as well as armies with artificial intelligence, could not pass freely.
It was known that the massive planet where the Huaxia Empire was located was originally the entire server space of a certain game, monopolized by him alone.
This showed just how powerful the Huaxia Empire from his previous life game was.
Now, within the Huaxia Empire, not to mention these legion commanders, even the non-combat literati Zhuge Ming could sneeze and level the Wanxiang Sect!
As strong as they were, when passing through the Sky Trace, Lin Qian's body couldn't withstand it and would merely explode.
Therefore, only Zhao Long, whose strength could be freely controlled and followed Lin Qian's changes, could easily lead the lower-ranked troops through the Sky Trace.
"If I could leave, I would ensure that those opposing His Majesty would die silently," Ji Qing said with a sinister smile, a cold expression on his face.
"You're just like a rat, stabbing people in secret," Ji Qing's words caused the tall Xu Meng next to him to sneer disdainfully.
"Hehehe, should I face people with a shield like you, pretending to be brave?"
"Shut your damn mouth! I could smash your puny body into a fool."
"Interesting, can you even touch me?"
Li Rong chuckled awkwardly and stepped forward, standing between Ji Qing and Xu Meng, "You two, stop arguing in front of His Majesty."
"Hahaha, exactly, why argue when you can just fight it out?" Guan Yi laughed heartily, arms crossed over his chest.
"Apart from His Majesty, you're all just a bunch of boring stinky men," Hua Ling turned her back, seemingly unwilling to see them.
And Zhao Long just stood together with Zhuge Ming, gazing at the blood light on Lin Qian's body, discussing solutions.
On the throne, Lin Qian watched everything with a smile; in a previous life, in this Huaxia Palace, the people in front of him just mechanically repeated predetermined dialogues, stiff and rigid.
How different it was now, lively with arguments.
"Heavens, thank you for fulfilling my beautiful dream," Lin Qian thought silently, grateful at heart.
Nothing compared to the fulfillment of a dying man's wishes.
"All right, stop arguing," Lin Qian's words were an irresistible command, and the people below immediately stopped everything, standing in rows.
Zhao Long stood at the head of the left column, with Hua Ling, Xu Meng, and Ji Qing beside him.
Zhuge Ming stood at the head of the right column, with Guan Yi and Li Rong beside him.
"In this world, through my data, the Prime Minister should have researched quite a bit. Now that my Martial Soul is awakened, can we determine what's happening?" Lin Qian asked, seated high on the dragon chair, looking at Zhuge Ming.
Zhuge Ming took a step forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Majesty, the Martial Soul is based on the soul, and as Your Majesty is reborn in this world, the soul has experienced two lifetimes, thus naturally a dual-born Martial Soul."
"The Empire is completely repaired, the nation's majesty is controlled by the array and no longer dispersed, suppressing His Majesty's body, the Martial Soul naturally awakens."
"I believe the black sword comes from the Supreme Emperor, the white sword from the Empress Dowager."
After Zhuge Ming finished speaking, Lin Qian nodded silently, "The Prime Minister makes a valid point."
Lin Qian knew that over the years, his body's condition had been transmitted through the Sky Trace to the Heavenly Art Department.
Strictly speaking, Zhuge Ming understood his physical condition even better than Lin Qian himself.
The Heavenly Art Department, the research hub of Huaxia Empire's technology, was the source of all technological developments, upgrading the empire, transforming generals, and more in the previous life game.
Zhuge Ming, Huaxia Empire's Prime Minister, managed the Heavenly Art Department, which had a staggering number of a billion Heavenly Art scholars under its belt, researching all kinds of technology.
In the previous life, during the epic national war against other servers, although Huaxia Empire achieved a great victory, it was also left devastated.
The broken Huaxia Empire followed him in crossing over to this world, and the virtual existences like Zhuge Ming, who acted according to procedures, fully gained life.
As the one managing the Heavenly Art Department, Zhuge Ming presided over the repair of the Huaxia Empire.
The broken Huaxia Empire had its array damaged by seventy percent; to prevent the dissipating national prestige and residual forces from the war from affecting Lin Qian, Zhuge Ming sealed the Huaxia Empire.
It wasn't until it was repaired to a controllable state that the Sky Trace was opened, allowing Lin Qian to cultivate.
At the same time, when Lin Qian needed something, his will would descend into the Huaxia Empire.
At this point, Zhuge Ming would transmit items suitable for Lin Qian's situation through the Sky Trace.
During the repair process, due to the crossing over, the empire's currency was also transformed into Soul Crystals.
High-quality Soul Crystals had all been used to repair the empire, only short of one final piece!
Using technology to condense lower-tier Soul Crystals into higher-tier ones would probably take three to four more years.
But just then, Lin Qian obtained the Saint Soul Crystal left by his parents, throwing it into the Huaxia Empire, greatly shortening the repair time.
Yesterday, after Zhuge Ming perfected three subtle flaws, the Huaxia Empire was ultimately repaired.
The fully controllable Huaxia Empire lost its suppression of Lin Qian's body, naturally awakening the Martial Soul.
After all, from beginning to end, the Huaxia Empire was his empire, not the Martial Soul.
Back when Lin Qian learned all of this from Zhuge Ming's mouth, he was terrified.
If it weren't for the whimsical spending of a billion assets before dying in the previous life, using store props to resurrect all the fallen generals, War Beasts, soldiers, and other units, having such a large number of people.
Even with abundant resources, based on the number just after the server war, it would take at least ten thousand years to repair.
"Is there any way to resolve this array investigating my body?" Lin Qian rose from the dragon chair, spread his hands toward Zhuge Ming, and asked, "Can the counter-curse strategy be used?"
Zhuge Ming bowed to Lin Qian, a confident smile on his face, "Rest assured, Your Majesty, with our Heavenly Art Department's power, there is a full ten out of ten confidence that through the counter-curse strategy, those using the array curse to investigate Your Majesty will die a sudden death!"
Lin Qian walked down from the platform of the dragon chair, hands behind his back, passing between them towards the outside of the Huaxia Palace.
"Let's go to the Heavenly Art Department, give this unknown enemy a surprise!"
