Chapter 105: There are worlds beyond worlds, time waits for no one!

~7 min read 1,277 words

Outside the window, the night was hazy, and inside the room, the lights flickered.

Su Xuan’s words reached Yan Yan Lingji’s ears, and the two hadn’t played chess for a while.

Yan Yan Lingji didn’t expect Su Xuan to really answer this question.

After hearing the reply from Su Xuan, Yan Yan Lingji said in a deep voice: "It is ultimately different."

"Although attaching yourself to others can still obtain these things, these things are ultimately obtained through others. If one day, you and the Qin Wang turn against each other, he can take these things away at any time..."

Since serving Su Xuan as master, Yan Yan Lingji and Su Xuan were grasshoppers on the same rope. She obviously hoped that Su Xuan could achieve a great cause.

"Your worry is not unreasonable."

Su Xuan was not angry, but praised Yan Yan Lingji, and then talked about another thing.

"That day at Zilan Xuan, you didn’t go, so you don’t know. After killing Xuan Xuan Jian, I had a conversation with the Qin Wang."

Su Xuan’s tone was indifferent, recounting some things he had told Ying Zheng that day: "This world is bigger than you imagine; beyond the nine provinces, there are other nine provinces. This world is smaller than you imagine; beyond the world, there are other worlds..."

"You have this worry because you have never seen the true face of the world!"

As Su Xuan spoke, he put down the chess piece in his hand. With a flip of his palm, a mirror condensed, and he used the "Moon Fetching" technique again. With the "Moon Fetching" technique, a mirror was condensed, and in the mirror, the map of the world situation appeared. Afterward, the world shrank, turning into stars, and the phenomena of the universe were all contained within it.

Yan Yan Lingji watched the changes in this map, and Su Xuan’s calm voice sounded in her ear. Her beautiful eyes flickered, and her heart swayed with her gaze.

Everything Su Xuan said overturned her past understanding of the world.

She, of course, knew that in the current world, there were more than seven states, and beyond the seven states, there were powers like Regarding Baiyue.

Outside the nine provinces, there were also races like the Xiongnu and Donghu.

But she didn’t expect that in the areas beyond these races, there were other countries and races, among which there were powerful dynasties that could compare to Qin.

The Persian Empire, the Maurya Empire.

Yan Yan Lingji had never heard of these countries and dynasties, but since they were spoken from Su Xuan’s mouth, and Su Xuan spoke as if it were true, they clearly existed.

However, this was not the end.

Su Xuan later claimed that the world they lived in was a huge sphere.

In the night sky, those stars were stars similar to the sphere under their feet.

The stars seemed small only because they were too far away. Some of them were much larger than the star under their feet.

Yan Yan Lingji subconsciously wanted to deny Su Xuan’s statement, after all, the saying that the sky is round and the earth is square had existed since ancient times.

However, Su Xuan gave some evidence, and these pieces of evidence were all verifying that the earth under their feet was a sphere. Coupled with the fact that Su Xuan had no need to deceive her, although it was still difficult to accept in her heart, gradually, Yan Yan Lingji began to believe Su Xuan.

After finishing the world and the universe.

Su Xuan said again: "There are heavens beyond heavens, worlds beyond worlds. Precisely because the world is so vast and life is so limited, for me, I must seize every moment to improve my strength!"

Time is the most precious thing.

He had already told Yan Yan Lingji the specific reason earlier.

Creating power and competing for the world, although there is a certain probability of success, must be done through some dishonorable means, which is both laborious and time-consuming, and one doesn’t know how much time it will take.

On the contrary, Qin has exerted the strength of six generations, and the general trend has been formed. The six states of Shandong, after years of weakening, are already fragile. It is an easy thing for Qin to take the world.

Instead of being laborious, it is better to take this ride and sit back and enjoy the success.

Because of a conversation with Su Xuan.

Yan Yan Lingji was immersed in the truth of the world. She wanted to verify the truth of the earth through the methods Su Xuan mentioned.

In the following time, she had no heart to play chess with Su Xuan.

That hard-won competitive spirit quietly dissipated.

Since Ying Zheng returned to Xianyang and returned to the palace, he had not contacted Su Xuan again.

It looked as if he had forgotten Su Xuan, this fellow traveler.

But Su Xuan knew that Ying Zheng was waiting.

Waiting for an excellent opportunity.

The Capping Ceremony was the opportunity he was waiting for.

Capping is an important ritual system passed down from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the present.

At that time, some people believed that a scholar was only an adult at the age of twenty, could take a "courtesy name," and could hold office and raise children. Therefore, a grand ceremony needed to be held at the age of twenty, when elders would put a special hat on them, called the "Capping Ceremony." And the King’s capping ceremony meant that from then on, the young King would walk to the front desk, hold power, and personally handle state affairs.

Ying Zheng had long reached the age to take power. If twenty was the standard for scholars, he was even slightly overage now. This year, he was twenty-two. Even if Lu Lu Buwei, even if Lao Ai and others still wanted to interfere in state affairs and wanted Ying Zheng never to come of age, this was clearly unreasonable. Facing the ancestral system of Qin and even the traditional ritual system of the whole world, they did not dare to defy the world.

And this time, since returning to the country, Ying Zheng had used all the power he could use to constantly create public opinion pressure among the people.

He wantonly advocated the capping ceremony.

Even though Lu Lu Buwei had once planned the Xuan Xuan Jian assassination of Ying Zheng, facing the pressure of public opinion and the accusations of many old ministers in the court, he finally loosened his mouth.

He would personally hold the capping ceremony for Ying Zheng in Yongcheng, the ancestral land of Qin.

Whether Lu Lu Buwei was willing or not, it was hard to say for now, but he was not the Qin Wang after all. Even if he had handled state affairs for the Qin Wang for many years in the capacity of the regent Chancellor, facing such pressure of public opinion, he only had the path of submission.

Because Lu Lu Buwei was the regent Chancellor, he could not easily leave Xianyang, so this matter was handed over to the Marquis of Changxin, Lao Ai.

He would go to Yongcheng in person to prepare everything for the Qin Wang’s ceremony in advance.

Lao Ai was the Empress Dowager’s person. It just so happened that some time ago, the Empress Dowager was complaining of illness and had already gone to Yongcheng to recuperate. In this way, it could be considered a matter that served both purposes. Beg
