Book Description:
As Japan faced defeat, the entire nation offered blood sacrifices, using the vengeful spirits of the Sino-Japanese War criminals enshrined at Yasukuni Shrine as a medium to entangle time and space. They sought to overturn the course of Chinese history, cement feudal class divisions, and anchor civilization forever in the darkest era of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Five Barbarians... They hoped to absorb the power of national trauma and use it to turn the tide of war...
At the critical moment, Liu San, a false transmigrator, unraveled the mystery behind the seal on his memories and awakened Qin Shi Huang, the First Emperor!
“Those Japanese savages think they can rewrite My unified empire?” “When I conquered the six states, they were still living in nests in the trees.”
“Unify the written language!”
“Standardize the roads!”
In the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, the current emperor collapsed, blood spraying from his nose and mouth...
The passageway collapsed...
A lifeboat carrying the Sino-Japanese War criminals escaped in the chaos!
The surviving Japanese infiltrated the Western Jin court, hoping to rise again. The turmoil of the Western Jin led to the rise of the Di, Qiang, Jie, Xianbei, and Xiongnu, ushering in the Five Barbarians' uprising in China.
Li Te of the Di established the Cheng Han regime, while Liu Yuan of the Xiongnu established the Han-Zhao regime. They clashed with the many rival powers springing up everywhere, all while searching for a way home...
Why are the Japanese so short, with so many bowlegged dwarfs and deformities? The First Emperor left a note: “Xu Fu, found on the Japanese islands, was a tattooed death-row convict!”
The mystery of Xu Fu's voyage east: the elixir of immortality was actually “something that keeps the body from decaying when eaten, while imprisoning the soul forever.”
The mystery of Xu Fu protecting the dragon: “His body sacrificed for the nation, his soul guarding the depths of the abyss.”
It all unfolds in the era of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Five Barbarians.
