The First Emperor's Mausoleum: My Guardian Dragon Is Exposed by the Archaeological Team

Why do eleven of the twelve zodiac animals exist in the real world, with only the dragon missing? Were people in ancient times simply making it up? Or, in this peaceful age, are dragons carrying the burden for us in the darkness? Why did Qin Shi Huang, the First Emperor of the ages, who knew the works of the Hundred Schools of Thought by heart, believe in the secret of immortality until the day he died? Is it truly that no immortals exist in this world, or has the link between Heaven and Earth long since been severed? Until! Two thousand years later. On the shores of the East Sea, the sea eye shook violently. Boundless demonic energy surged into the sky, and the heavens shattered! Giant beasts crawled out through the rifts, reducing bustling cities to ruins overnight. The whole world fell into endless panic. Nations mobilized in a desperate rush, but to no avail. At the brink of despair... Deep beneath the Qinling Mountains, in the underground Dragon Palace! A hornless dragon that had slept for two thousand five hundred years let out a deep heartbeat. [Ding! The Nation-Guarding Divine Beast System has awakened!] [Host's current state: hornless dragon, over twelve hundred li long.] [Your ancestral bloodline has met the requirements for transformation. You may transform into: Yinglong!] At the same moment. Mount Li, the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, the Celestial Palace below the earth! Three hundred thousand Great Qin soldiers clad in heavy armor stood in perfect formation. The man at their head, wearing a crown with twelve strands of beads and a robe bearing the Dark Bird of Heaven's Mandate, slowly opened his eyes. Ying Zheng gripped the Ding Qin Sword, his gaze blazing as he looked beyond the underground palace. "Chi Ling, Zheng has come to fulfill our pact." "This time, we shall join hands again and slay the ancient demons!" "All troops... take formation!"
