[Historical What-If, Light Fantasy, Legends, Creation]
I, Xu Fu, am awake.
Not from a dream, but from more than two thousand years of silence.
My body should have turned to dry bones, yet now it brims with an unfamiliar, savage power: cold and lifeless, but restless all the same.
The smoke of war in Great Qin, the waves of the Bohai Sea, the young and frightened faces of the boys and girls, and… Ying Zheng’s unfathomable eyes, filled with a yearning for immortality.
The last thing etched into my mind was the direction of my distant homeland in the west, along with a regret buried deep in my heart, unresolved even at death.
Why have I awakened?
Is it because my obsession remains, or because the world has changed?
No. Neither.
A powerful surge of blood-born anguish and fury dragged me, by force, from my eternal slumber!
On the island I founded with my own hands, the descendants of my bloodline, the children and grandchildren in whom I placed such high hopes, they… they actually dared to!
Forget their ancestors and defy all human decency!
They twisted the seeds of civilization I taught them into evils that poison the world!
They altered and erased history, the history that regarded me as a benefactor from Great Qin and a pioneer!
They even made my homeland, which I swore should be honored for generations, into an enemy!
Two thousand years of waiting brought me not the comfort of seeing the flame passed down, but the icy sting of utter betrayal!
“Unworthy… descendants…”
Since Heaven’s decree has brought me back, I will use this “undying body” to mete out swift and merciless punishment.
Your indulgence ends here!
Your punishment begins now!
