Chapter 181 A Gathering of Heroes
"You're the seventh Master?!"

Rin Tohsaka stared at Lin Yu in shock and despair.

She knew that there was still one Master who had not yet appeared in this Holy Grail War, but she never expected that this last qualification would fall into the hands of this mysterious and powerful person who was so strong that it made people despair!
—Then what are they even arguing about?

Hearing Rin Tohsaka's slightly desperate words, Lin Yu smiled slightly and glanced at her, saying:

"Little girl, who told you... there can only be seven Masters in the Holy Grail War?"

"……Um?"

Toosaka Rin was slightly startled.

Lin Yu lowered his eyes, looked at the Command Seals on the back of his hand, and chuckled, "In the end, the so-called Command Seal system was just something that magicians developed during the Second Holy Grail War in order to better control Heroic Spirits."

"Since they can make the rules, I can naturally change them too..."

As he spoke, he extended his right hand, and a dazzling silver light burst forth from his palm, weaving into an incredibly complex magic circle in the air.

In the next instant, a gale arose, and the howling air currents swirled around the magic circle, radiating an incomparably dazzling silver light.

In an instant, the entire rooftop was illuminated as if it were daytime. Apart from Bai Zeming, who was covered by a mask, Rin Tohsaka and Shirou Emiya were blinded by the silver light and instinctively shielded their eyes with their arms.

With a strong response from the magic circle, phantom images emerged one after another from within it.

Bai Zemin stared wide-eyed at the powerful figures within the magic circle.

The first to appear was a majestic man dressed in a black imperial robe and wearing a twelve-tassel crown.

He stood before the tall and magnificent palace, surrounded by numerous civil and military officials, turned around, his right hand resting on the Tai'a sword at his waist, and looked down at the countless armored soldiers lined up neatly below the stone steps.

"Wind! Wind! Strong wind!"

As the authoritative gaze slowly swept across, the soldiers roared with all their might.

A series of resounding booms echoed across the land, seemingly capable of collapsing mountains and piercing the clouds!
In an instant, an overwhelming aura of power swept over him, shocking Bai Zeming and leaving him momentarily stunned and unable to move.

In a flash, the emperor reviewing the troops vanished, replaced by a carefree wandering knight.

The man, dressed in coarse cloth, bare-chested and with a blade of grass in his mouth, sits astride a rock. His eyes, carrying a carefree air, glance sideways at Bai Zemin, who is off-screen, as if to say: 'Young man, do you have any fine wine?'

Bai Zeming was momentarily stunned, finding it difficult to recognize the man's identity.

But soon, he found a clue on the sword at the other party's waist. It was a sharp iron sword, about three feet long, with two ancient seal characters engraved on the blade: Chixiao!
The screen flickered again, and the wandering swordsman with the Crimson Cloud Sword at his waist vanished instantly, replaced by another burly man drinking under the moon.

The man was shirtless, revealing his strong muscles and scars. He had a beautiful woman in his left arm and was drinking heavily from a wine jug in his right hand. His tiger-like eyes were fixed on the galloping black horse in front of him, as if he was about to throw down the wine and gallop away at any moment.

Beside him lay a thick iron spear, as thick as an arm.

Even through the blurry image, one can still feel the iron-blooded, domineering aura emanating from that spear...

The next second, the domineering figure vanished instantly, and a handsome young man clad in armor appeared in the scene.

He rode a tall horse, holding the reins in one hand, sitting upright on the carved saddle, standing atop the Qilian Mountains, letting the north wind whip his scarlet cloak, his young and handsome face filled with indescribable dashingness and joy...

Bai Zemin stared blankly at the phantoms that kept flashing in the magic circle.

Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Gaozu of Han, Xiang Yu, Marquis of Champion...

Did they summon the entire Throne of Heroes?!
Of course, this was just a rather exaggerated sentiment in Bai Zeming's mind.

In fact, Lin Yu was simply searching for the heroic spirits of China in this world.

Even when he was peering out of the world, he had already noticed the Throne of Heroes, which was also located on the outer edge of the world.

Unlike the Vortex of Origin, this thing can be interfered with even by magicians on Earth, let alone Lin Yu!

Following the dashing and carefree young champion Hou, numerous heroic spirits of China have emerged one after another.

At a certain moment, the somewhat illusory scene finally solidified, revealing a peach orchard in full bloom.

In the peach orchard, peach blossoms are in full bloom, their pink petals shimmering and their beauty dazzling.

Many figures sat under the peach blossoms, clinking glasses and enjoying themselves immensely.

At the head of the long table under the tree stood a middle-aged man who was seven feet five inches tall, with earlobes that reached his shoulders, hands that reached his knees, a face like jade, and lips like painted rouge.

As the scene of Peach Garden solidified, the man with the gentle smile suddenly paused, as if sensing something, and looked up to meet Lin Yu's gaze from outside the scene.

Seeing this, Lin Yu smiled slightly and gestured for the man to proceed.

The middle-aged man's expression turned solemn, and he immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Lin Yu.

Then, he straightened up, glanced at everyone at the table, and slowly said something that Bai Zemin couldn't hear.

As soon as he finished speaking, the three tall figures stood up one after another and knelt on one knee in front of the man.

The moment the third figure stood up, the scene in Peach Garden shattered.

The next second, the magic circle that shone with silver light finally took effect, summoning a figure from the Throne of Heroes outside the world.

He was a handsome, dashing, and imposing man, holding a silver spear, wearing silver armor, and his white robe fluttering in the wind.

As the gale subsided, the silver magic circle also disappeared.

The valiant general in silver armor and wielding a silver spear blurred, revealing two other equally tall figures who respectfully bowed to Lin Yu. "Zhao Zilong of Changshan..."

"Guan Yu of Hedong..."

"Zhang Yide of Yan..."

"Greetings, Your Excellency!"

Upon hearing the three resounding names, Bai Zemin's eyes widened, and he stared blankly.

He stared blankly at the other two tall, illusory figures, and sure enough, he saw Guan Yu, who was nine feet tall, with a two-foot-long beard, a face like a red date, lips like painted rouge, phoenix eyes, and silkworm eyebrows, with a dignified and imposing appearance, and Zhang Fei, who had a leopard's head, round eyes, a swallow's chin, and a tiger's beard, with an imposing aura!

……what's going on?

How come three of them were brought in all at once?
And it's the famous Shu Han team!
Just as Bai Zemin was in a state of confusion, Guan Yu's phantom stroked his beard and looked at Lin Yu solemnly, saying, "A loyal minister does not serve two masters. My soul has already been pledged to His Majesty, so I cannot perform the full ceremony. I hope you will forgive me, my lord!"

Clearly, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei thought the same thing.

Therefore, after Guan Yu explained, the two immediately clasped their hands and said in unison, "We hope you will forgive us, my lord!"

"It doesn't matter!"

Lin Yu didn't care. He waved his hand and said with a smile, "According to my agreement with Emperor Zhaolie, after this matter is settled, I will extract the power of the three heroes' souls and send them to the Shu Han in another world."

"At that time, the three of them will be confined to the Throne of Heroes and will be unable to set foot in the world as they do now."

"However, the Shu Han dynasty in another world will also rise because of this, fulfilling your lifelong wish to restore the Han dynasty. I wonder if the three generals are willing to accept this deal?"

The three exchanged a glance, then solemnly cupped their hands and said, "In that case, we entrust this to you, sir!"

Lin Yu nodded in satisfaction: "Good!"

Hearing this, Bai Zemin finally understood what Lin Yu was doing!

He must have somehow contacted the Shu Han heroes in the Throne of Heroes and reached an agreement with Emperor Zhaolie of Han, Liu Bei, to recruit the Shu Han heroes to participate in this Holy Grail War.

After the Holy Grail War, Lin Yu will also extract their heroic spirit power and give it to the Shu Han in another world.

This Shu Han must be the world of Li Shimin, the group member...

Thinking of this, Bai Zeming's expression turned strange, and he thought to himself that his older brother really knew how to do business.

On the surface, Lin Yu offered the spirits of Shu Han a chance to revive the Han Dynasty in a parallel world, in exchange for their participation in the Holy Grail War.

In reality, both sides of the scale are related to the interests of the chat group.

Lin Yu's deal was to first win the Holy Grail War, and then let his fellow member Li Shimin win it again.

The chat group won twice in total, which is called taking advantage of both the food and the drink... no, this is called a win-win situation!
As for Liu Bei and the others who have become heroic spirits, they didn't really suffer a loss.

After all, Lin Yu did not hide the truth; on the contrary, he told them everything. They were happy to see another Shu Han successfully restored, which is why they were willing to take the bait.

However... Lin Yu clearly summoned three heroic spirits, so why was there only Zhao Yun at the beginning?
Thinking of this, Bai Zemin couldn't help but look puzzled.

Lin Yu glanced at him, seemingly noticing his confusion, and said irritably, "Isn't it all because of you?"

"If you can supply the magic power of three heroic spirits, why would you need this method of one body with three souls?"

So it was because of me?
Bai Zeming subconsciously showed shame, then suddenly realized what he had done, staring wide-eyed at Lin Yu and saying:
"Wait, me?!"

"if not?"

Lin Yu glanced at him and said, "You don't really think I'm going to participate in the Holy Grail War, do you?"

After saying that, before Bai Zemin could even process this bombshell news, he waved his hand and transferred the Command Seals to Bai Zemin.

With a slight stinging sensation, Bai Zemin snapped back to reality, staring strangely at the three Command Seals on the back of his hand.

"...You really gave it to me?"

"It's that simple?"

"It's just a Command Seal, how complicated could it be?" Lin Yu shook his head, then said, "Alright, from now on, you are the eighth Master of the Holy Grail War!"

"From now on, the affairs here will be left to you and your Shu Han team."

"As for the current state of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun, it's just an experiment for me. You can practice with Lancer and Archer first. If anything happens, report it in the group chat."

Bai Zemin quickly asked, "And what about you, elder brother?"

Lin Yu glanced at him and said, "I plan to meet Saiki Kusuo first, and then travel around the outer world. What, you want to come too?"

Bai Zemin was filled with respect and said without hesitation, "Brother, may you have a safe journey!"

Lin Yu rolled his eyes, then vanished from the spot in a flash.

Just then, Bai Zemin suddenly remembered something and hurriedly opened the chat group.

[Bai Zemin: @Lin Yu, brother, wait a minute!]

[Lin Yu: What is it now?]
