[Traveling through the Qin Dynasty, I am the Dragon Emperor] Core world view setting
1. Time Anchor: Yinghuo shocks the world, spiritual tide breaks through the world
In 259 BC, in the city of Handan, a baby's cry announced the birth of the future First Emperor Yingzheng; on the same night, the sky suddenly changed - the vision of "Yinghuo Shouxin" spread across the sky. Mars hung like red pupils in the heart of the sky.
The craze of spiritual energy not only nourished all things, but also tore apart dimensional barriers: the nine caves and heavenly paradises in ancient legends quietly overlapped with the territory of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period - the shadow of Penglai Fairy Island appeared on the coast of the East China Sea, facing Qi State's Langya County across the sea; the outline of the Kunlun Ruins' glacier appeared on the shore of the East China Sea. The Longxi Plateau borders Lintao County of the Qin State; there are also caves such as Fangzhang and Yingzhou, which are either hidden in the mist of Yunmengze in Chuland or hidden in the deep valleys of Yanshan Mountain in northern Yan. The rare and exotic beasts and ancient inheritance in the caves are gradually revealed as the planes overlap, stirring up the chess game of the Warring States Period.
2. Geographical structure: the seven heroes are the foundation, and the cave is hidden in the sky
Based on the actual territories of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period (Qin, Chu, Qi, Yan, Zhao, Wei, and Han), the texture of the earth undergoes subtle changes due to the revival of spiritual energy: the fertile soil in the Guanzhong Plain of Qin becomes more fertile, and the growth rate of crops doubles; the waters of Yunmengze in Chu Land expand, breeding water monsters that can breathe out spiritual energy; the salt fields along the coast of Qi precipitate "spiritual salt" containing spiritual energy, which can enhance the physique of monks.
The Nine Cave Heavenly Blessed Lands are hidden in the folds of the territory. They are not fully physically present, but exist in a state of "half virtual and half real".
