[Lifespan increased, Comprehension +12962]

Name: Su Chen (568 years old)

Lifespan: 18721 years

[Innate Talent & Comprehension: 85825 (Born Divine, Extremely Rare Throughout History)]

[Innate Talents & Constitution: Azure Dragon (Starry Sky Dragon)]

[Energy required for the next stage of physical transformation: 323769600]

Energy: 5546

Su Chen felt a slight coolness wafting through his soul and consciousness, cleansing his mind and spirit.

In the blink of an eye, he felt his comprehension improve significantly, and he was incredibly close to reaching 100,000 points of comprehension!

Coming to his senses, Su Chen looked at his comprehension level displayed on the panel and couldn't help but feel expectant. He murmured, "About 15,000 points short of breaking through to 100,000 comprehension points!"

The leap is so large, yet the comprehension rating hasn't changed. Wait until the comprehension reaches 100,000...

After having finished expressing his expectations, he turned his attention to his physical condition.

"Azure Dragon?"

"Just as I expected—"

Su Chen murmured in surprise.

My initial guess was right!

The Azure Dragon is the god of the East, spring, and the constellation, and the first of the Four Symbols.

While thinking, Su Chen looked at the energy needed for the next stage of transformation and made a silent estimate.

"It will probably take about 1,120 years—"

To be honest, it's a bit outrageous.

Su Chen couldn't help but feel curious.

What lies above the Azure Dragon?

After a moment of curiosity and anticipation, he turned his attention to his body and examined it carefully.

In his perception, aside from things like summoning wind and rain and regulating the climate, what intrigued him was the power of destiny.

Su Chen had a feeling that if he wanted to, he could make life's essence inferior to his own and receive preferential treatment from fate.

However, this only pertains to the mandate of heaven in terms of royal power, and can be considered a branch of the mandate of heaven.

After all, he was just a dragon, not the heavens, and did not have the ability to truly control destiny.

In other words, if he wanted to, he could have made the Qin Dynasty continue to exist indefinitely; the so-called "dying after two generations" simply didn't exist.

After all, if the Azure Dragon's Seven Mansions were to favor Qin, then the ruler of Qin would represent the true Son of Heaven, the true dragon emperor, and who could possibly bring about Qin's downfall?

Unless someone can defy fate, but who among normal people can change the fate of a country like that?

Su Chen seemed to be deep in thought.

"Because of this divinely ordained power of kingship, I can indirectly control the good and bad fortune of a place or region —"

"It can be said that the fortunes and misfortunes of this region in the East are entirely under my control!"

That is, the area from the center of the world eastward to the Pacific Ocean is under his jurisdiction, including a small island nation called Fusang.

Aside from the novelty of his abilities related to the Mandate of Heaven and the power of the king, the other aspects were related to spring and vitality.

Su Chen's thoughts stirred slightly.

An invisible law, or perhaps the power of authority, quietly descended upon the misty mountain.

In an instant, the once quiet Mist Mountain seemed to be awakened!

Each blade of grass trembled almost imperceptibly, and then its roots stretched rapidly deep into the soil, and its tender leaves grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The verdant green spread out inch by inch, like surging blue waves.

The branches, which had not yet fully unfurled, suddenly swelled up, and a very faint yet continuous cracking sound echoed throughout the entire mountain forest.

The tender buds burst open, and the new leaves unfurl.

The tree branches slowly grow taller, the annual rings silently increase, and the vines quickly climb up the trunk, winding and extending as if consciously, section by section, spreading towards higher places.

The entire misty mountain was swept up by an invisible spring tide!

It feels like spring has arrived once again!

Su Chen's mind stirred.

In an instant, wisps of life, invisible to the naked eye, emerged from the flowers, trees, and all things.

Even the Azure Dragon's Seven Mansions, hanging high in the sky, seemed to be drawn down, sending down strands of cool and pure starlight.

The life on earth is warm and gentle, while the starlight in the sky is clear and distant.

The two converged like two torrents, gathering invisibly and surging towards Su Chen.

A stream of life force flowed into his body from all directions.

At this moment, Su Chen stood at the center of boundless life essence, his breath brimming with vitality.

In an instant, Su Chen felt that the little bit of vitality that had been depleted in his body was quickly replenished, and he became completely healthy.

His surprised gaze involuntarily drifted to the control panel.

Lifespan: 19289 years

The lifespan, originally 18721, increased by 568, becoming 19289?

In other words, the lifespan lost over the past 568 years has been fully restored, and his original lifespan has been restored!

What does this mean?

This means that he can live on as long as he wants, which is equivalent to immortality and eternal life!

"Azure Dragon, as expected of a divine dragon—"

Su Chen shook his head slightly, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity. The lifespan restored under these circumstances isn't an improvement in the essence of life, and it doesn't increase comprehension, otherwise—"

After carefully experiencing the Azure Dragon's abilities, he was pretty much certain that the Azure Dragon involved various kinds of authority and power. He didn't think that familiar feeling was just a figment of his imagination.

He even had a thought that if his true form inherited the Azure Dragon's body, he could control an additional Dao Fruit authority simply by using that body.

The Dao Fruit of the Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon?

He shook his head, not wanting to think about it any further, and continued to delve into comprehending the rudimentary form of the Cycle of Reincarnation and absorbing the essence of the sun and moon.

Time passed slowly.

He calmed down, and because of the appearance of the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions, some changes occurred in various places one after another.

The State of Qi.

King Jian of Qi chose to surrender directly to Qin.

Thus, the State of Qi perished, the other six states ceased to exist, and the entire world fell to Qin!

Just as the prophecy foretold, the Qin state swept across all other states and unified the world!

Ying Zheng believed that his virtues surpassed those of the Three Sovereigns and his achievements exceeded those of the Five Emperors, so he named himself Emperor and referred to himself as "朕" (Zhen, meaning "I" or "I" in Chinese).

When the nobles and remnants of the royal families of the six kingdoms heard about this, they couldn't help but feel resentful and unwilling.

Soon, the year 220 BC arrived, and due to the influence of the Azure Dragon constellation, history took a slight turn.

Ying Zheng couldn't wait to embark on his first eastern tour, with his destination being the legendary Wushan Mountain, while other places were just incidental.

Having unified the six kingdoms, achieving unparalleled feats throughout history, possessing the world, and knowing the mystery of the Azure Dragon's Seven Mansions and having witnessed the extraordinary phenomena of the Azure Dragon's Seven Mansions, his heart was filled with fervor and longing.

He doesn't want to die.

"I have received the mandate of Heaven; may my reign be long and prosperous!"

Ying Zheng harbored a deep desire to achieve immortality.

Wushan is arguably the place with the most legends and the most mystery over the past few centuries, and it is also the place he has the most access to!

The Mist Mountain God is said to resemble a large blue serpent. Hundreds of years ago, some people speculated that this Mist Mountain God was none other than the Eastern Constellation, Azure Dragon!

Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment.

He wasn't entirely sure about that either.

The main purpose of this eastern tour was to offer sacrifices and seek an audience with the God of Mist Mountain to verify his suspicions, and at the same time, to seek prophecy and immortality from the God of Mist Mountain.

I wonder if this Mist Mountain God will take pity on him and grant him prophecy and immortality.

Ying Zheng thought anxiously.

soon.

The massive eastern tour entourage, resembling a slowly moving torrent of steel, emerged from Xianyang and headed eastward.

The black banners of the Qin Dynasty, adorned with mythical birds, fluttered in the wind, hanging high above the chariot formation in an endless line.

From a distance, it looked like a surging black wave that swallowed up the entire official road.

The carriages were stacked one on top of another.

At the very front were the cavalry, heavily armored, with long spears like a forest, their hooves thundering as they pounded the ground, all in perfect unison. Behind them were squads of infantry.

Further behind was the imperial carriage, heavily guarded.
