At the top of the Realm Gate, the Eye of the King projected the scenes of two different worlds before Qin Yi.
A tyrannical emperor wielded his sword, launching a war to unify the world. Under the thunderous hooves of his army, one nation after another was conquered. Amidst flames and blood, a ruthless emperor was revealed to the two of them.
At the same time, in another world, a swordsman cleaved a mountain in two, split the ocean, and even the sky was torn apart by a massive rift. A man stood at the bow of a ship, facing the raging storms, lightning, and thunder of the sea.
With a domineering aura, his mere glare calmed the turbulent waters. In the ocean, a colossal creature, hundreds to nearly a thousand meters in size, roared as it surged out of the water, sending rain cascading into the sky.
"Is this the world we're about to enter?" Uchiha Madara's eyes gleamed as he looked at the two worlds before him, his voice tinged with excitement.
He had truly seen a different world, and it filled him with exhilaration.
"That's right, Madara. You need to choose one. This time, I'll take a two-pronged approach to rapidly develop our nation."
Qin Yi nodded.
Madara took a deep breath and carefully observed the two scenes before him. After a moment, he pointed to the world filled with oceans.
"I choose this one! I enjoy sparring with experts, and I'm very interested in the prowess of otherworldly experts!"
Qin Yi was momentarily surprised, but not entirely unexpected.
"Then you need to remember that before I arrive, your task is to explore and gather intelligence. Do not draw attention to yourself. Additionally, I'll have the Three Generals accompany you. If anything arises, you must consult with them."
Madara snorted but remained silent.
'Was he the type of man to be flashy? He had always been low-key, hadn't he?'
"Originally, I wanted you to join me in entering this world to quickly conquer it. It seems I'll have to go alone for now." Shrugging, Qin Yi pointed to the world filled with terracotta warriors.
However, such a mundane world didn't pose much pressure for him. Whether it was one person or two, the difference wasn't significant.
He then summoned the Three Generals.
"You three must remember, this is an Other-Dimension no less remarkable than the Ninja World. After you arrive, stay close to Madara and avoid drawing too much attention. Carefully investigate the information of this world."
"Before I arrive, do not take any action."
"If you have the opportunity to join various factions, do not hesitate. Only by integrating into the Otherworld can you better gather intelligence."
Qin Yi earnestly instructed them.
"We understand, Your Majesty. Please rest assured!" The Three Generals solemnly bowed, their expressions serious.
"Are we ready?" Madara, growing impatient, urged them on.
"Haha, then let's set off!" Qin Yi laughed and waved his hand toward the Realm Gate.
In an instant, the colors within the Realm Gate shifted, and the scenery of the oceanic world flickered and rapidly alternated.
Madara and the Three Generals stepped into it without hesitation, their figures vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Watching the Three Generals disappear, Qin Yi's eyes flashed.
He strode toward the Realm Gate. As he reached its base, the scenery within the gate changed once more, revealing a massive tomb buried underground.
"Tomb of the Dragon Emperor!"
"Let me use the power of the Dragon Emperor to conquer this world!"
"It won't take long!"
A faint voice echoed from the entrance of the Realm Gate as Qin Yi stepped inside and disappeared.
Compared to the world Qin Yi had just entered, there was no doubt that the world Madara and the others had entered was far more alluring, making Qin Yi feel a sense of urgency.
However, he couldn't launch a large-scale invasion of the Otherworld in the early stages. On one hand, the Fire of Civilization in his nation had just been ignited, and it was still in a developmental phase, requiring manpower in all areas.
On the other hand, the population and land area of Qin's Nation were still too small, and the timing wasn't ripe. Lastly, the Otherworld was filled with numerous experts and bizarre powers. A large-scale invasion would likely quickly alert and provoke the native inhabitants.
After careful consideration, Qin Yi decided to first develop the strength of Qin's Nation while gathering intelligence, sending a vanguard to establish a foothold before making further plans.
As the light and shadows around him shifted and the lines distorted, Qin Yi crossed his arms and silently pondered.
After an unknown amount of time, the surroundings suddenly brightened, indicating that he had arrived in another time and space.
When he opened his eyes, Qin Yi found himself standing on a bustling street.
"1946, huh?"
This was a time period similar to Earth in his previous life, but about seventy years later. In this world, legends of mummies were rampant. Qin Yi knew that here, a figure known as the Dragon Emperor would awaken and embark on his quest for world unification.
Tomb of the Dragon Emperor was the very movie he had entered. In his previous life, this film had received a lot of criticism. The great ancestor of China, Qin Shi Huang, was portrayed in such a ridiculous manner that it was infuriating. If the Emperor were to learn of this, his coffin lid might not be able to contain his rage.
Despite having a significant advantage, the Dragon Emperor was still stabbed to death, and it was with a broken blade, which was quite frustrating.
"However, since I am here, this world is destined to submit beneath my iron hooves! Two thousand years later, the resurrected Undead Legion will sweep across the globe!"
His gaze turned cold as Qin Yi surveyed the crowd around him, silently activating the new Skill(s) he had gained from his King's Way.
"Plunder, Character Plunder!"
King's Strength radiated from him, seemingly merging with a fragment of the rules of this world. King's Plundering allowed him to choose to plunder the identities of characters from a lower civilization when invading a higher-level civilization. This Skill(s) was one of the new King's Skills he had acquired.
In the blink of an eye, Qin Yi's figure vanished completely.
Two breaths later, in a forgotten land within China, consciousness was born within a terracotta warrior.
"Let me assume the identity of the Dragon Emperor and unify this world!"
This consciousness was Qin Yi; he had plundered the identity of the Dragon Emperor and would awaken as the new Dragon Emperor. Of course, at this moment, he was still just a sealed terracotta figure.
"The cursed power is bound by the rules of this world, making it difficult for me to break free?"
After attempting to forcibly open the terracotta figure without success, Qin Yi frowned in contemplation. It seemed he would need to wait. However, there was no rush; the time he had arrived in this world was very close to the start of the plot.
At the same time, in another world, amidst the crashing waves, four figures suddenly appeared at the edge of the beach.
"This is the Otherworld?" A cold, armored man with long black hair and crossed arms opened his eyes, surveying the world before him, speaking in a deep voice.
After a few breaths, the cold man's eyes turned blood red as he attempted to observe this world clearly.
