The Ballad of Youth: My Qin Iron Cavalry Is Being Broadcast Live on the Sky Screen

A sky screen descends upon the world of Tales of the Dark River, launching a [National Destiny Comparison Between Two Worlds]!

One side is the original world: princes fight for the throne, the martial world tears itself apart, and the Northern Barbarians invade, bringing death and devastation. Countless tragedies remain unresolved: Zhao Yuzhen dies, Ye Dingzhi falls to the demonic path, and Xiao Se loses all his martial arts!

The other side is a parallel world:

Transmigrator Xiao Tianyao establishes the “Great Qin” dynasty and rules by Legalist principles, standardizing axle widths and unifying the written language!

[Facing the Sword Immortals of the Martial World]

Original world: When a Sword Immortal gets angry, blood flows within five paces, and the imperial court retreats three hundred miles.

Xiao Tianyao: “Martial heroes who use force to defy the law must be punished! Advance with three hundred thousand Snowstorm Cavalry. Anyone not registered will have their mountain strongholds and temples destroyed! Sword Immortals? Before my laws, all are equal!”

[Facing the Northern Barbarian Invasion]

Original world: “We will hold this isolated city at all costs. That is the backbone of Beili!”

Xiao Tianyao: “The best defense is a good offense! Let the divine cannons scour the land, and send the Mohist mechanized beasts forward! From now on, the grasslands are my horse pasture, and the barbarians can do nothing but sing and dance!”

[Righting Old Wrongs]

Xiao Tianyao: “Zhao Yuzhen can't leave the mountain? Then I'll drag him down and make him Imperial Preceptor! Ye Dingzhi wants to turn demonic? I'll make him a Great General of the Northern Campaign and help him win his wife back!”

When the comparison between the two worlds is revealed, the original world's natives break down in tears.

Li Hanyi: “In that world, the Sword Immortal and I even have a child together?”

Xiao Se: “In that world, all I want is to be a carefree prince who does nothing but eat and wait for death? That sounds so happy!”

Emperor Tai'an: “Quick! Pass the throne to Tianyao! Don't let him invade!”
