Sky Curtain: With a vermilion mirror, Jing travels through the modern world, shaking all dynasties.

This is Linchuan City, located in the northwest of the Dragon Kingdom.

The car drove into a residential area in the city.

The environment here is quite nice, and there aren't many pedestrians in the neighborhood.

After parking the car, Jiang Chuan led Zhu Jingjing to a villa and said, "This is my home."

He took out his keys, opened the door, and said, "This is a house my mom arranged for me. I usually live alone; there's no one else here."

Zhu Jingjing asked curiously, "Do you live here all by yourself?"

Jiang Chuan nodded and said as he opened the door, "My father passed away a long time ago, my mother is busy with work outside, and I also have a special job, so I rarely see my family."

The door opened.

Zhu Jingjing walked in, her eyes widening immediately.

The ground is covered with shiny floor tiles that reflect light so well that you can even see your reflection.

The spacious living room is furnished with soft sofas and an antique-style coffee table.

On the off-white wall, there was a particularly large, square black mirror.

She had never seen a house like this before.

Although it was different from the palaces of the Ming Dynasty, it gave her an indescribable sense of comfort.

Zhu Jingjing's gaze fell on the coffee table.

There was a round object there, about the size of a head, covered with dense, colorful patterns.

Curious, she walked over, bent down to examine it closely, and asked, "What is this?"

Jiang Chuan had just closed the door and entered when he saw this scene. He smiled and said, "This is a globe."

Zhu Jingjing looked up, her eyes full of confusion: "Earth... globe?"

Jiang Chuan walked over, picked up the ball, and twirled it in his hand.

"Earth, don't you know?"

He smiled and said, "The world we live in is a sphere."

When Zhu Jingjing heard Jiang Chuan say that the earth was a ball, she was completely taken aback.

"ball?"

She couldn't help but look down at the floor tiles under her feet; they were square and perfectly flat.

Zhu Jingjing couldn't help but look at Jiang Chuan again, asking in confusion, "Are you delirious from the fever?"

Jiang Chuan shook his head and said, "I'm perfectly sober. This world is indeed a sphere."

The Qin Dynasty, Xianyang Palace.

Upon hearing Jiang Chuan's words, Ying Zheng shook his head even more, "Absurd, absurd! The heavens are round and the earth is square; this is an age-old truth. How could the earth possibly be round?"

Li Si quickly echoed, "Your Majesty is right. If the earth were round, how could a person stand on it?"

Gongshu Ban nodded in agreement: "I have never seen a round piece of land. People in later generations may have some misunderstanding."

Mozi also said, "Indeed, this earth is square, and this is the way of Heaven."

Ying Zheng snorted, "I knew it. We can't completely trust what people say in later generations."

The Great Han Dynasty, Weiyang Palace.

Liu Che smiled too.

"Where did people in later generations get such absurd ideas?"

He stroked his beard and said, "They actually said the earth is round."

Huo Qubing scratched his head: "Your Majesty, if the earth were round, we could send people to build more stone rollers, and with a strong push, wouldn't it roll itself all the way to the Xiongnu?"

Liu Che laughed heartily and said, "Qu Bing is right! I think we don't need to fight the Xiongnu anymore. We can just wait for the rolling stones to crush them!"

At the entrance of the Fengtian Hall in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head.

"How come we didn't feel it?"

He looked at the floor tiles under his feet with a puzzled expression. "This floor is clearly flat and even."

Zhu Biao, standing nearby, said, "Father, perhaps there's some other reason behind this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "What's the point? I don't believe it. If the world were a ball, wouldn't we have already tripped and fallen?"

The modern world.

"That's impossible."

Zhu Jingjing frowned and said, "If the ground were round, wouldn't we have fallen in long ago?"

Jiang Chuan smiled and patiently explained to her, "Deep underground, there is a huge magnet that attracts mountains, rivers, and seas."

"Huh? A magnet?"

Zhu Jingjing found it increasingly unbelievable as she listened.

"yes."

Jiang Chuan pointed to the ground and said, "You see, the ground is flat. Actually, it's because the world is so big that you can't feel that it's a sphere."

He picked up the globe and pointed to a section of it: "Look, this is our Dragon Kingdom."

Zhu Jingjing leaned closer to take a look.

On the globe, that area was marked in the shape of a rooster.

Jiang Chuan drew a circle on it with his finger. "Your Great Ming Dynasty, in terms of its territory at that time, was roughly this size."

On the other side of the sky, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stood up.

"What?"

He stared wide-eyed at the small area in the sky, incredulous.

That piece of land isn't even as big as the palm of his hand!

"Our Great Ming Dynasty is vast, stretching across thousands of miles!"

Zhu Yuanzhang almost exclaimed in surprise, "How could it be such a small place?"

Zhu Biao was also stunned.

Zhu Di shook his head vehemently, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

The modern world.

Zhu Jingjing also looked completely incredulous.

"That's impossible."

She shook her head. "The Ming Dynasty, which my father conquered, had such a vast territory. How could it be this small?"

Jiang Chuan smiled and pointed to other parts of the globe.

"Look, this is the place where the Xiongnu once roamed freely. This is the Western Regions, this is Tibet."

His finger moved across the globe, marking out different areas.

"Beyond these, there is an even larger world."

Jiang Chuan said in a serious tone, "Even if the First Emperor swept across the six kingdoms and unified the world, he only unified the territory within the Dragon Kingdom, not the entire world."

The Qin Dynasty, Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng's expression changed.

"Nonsense!"

He slammed his hand on the table, "I swept across the eight directions and unified the six kingdoms; it is clear that the world belongs to Qin. How could it be such a small place?"

Li Si quickly said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Those people from later generations were just making things up."

But Ying Zheng's expression did not improve.

Because he was actually a little panicked.

Many of the things that young man said before were correct.

What if this is also correct?

The modern world.

Zhu Jingjing still couldn't accept it.

Jiang Chuan wasn't in a hurry, since the concept of a round earth was only introduced to China at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Let alone Zhu Jingjing, it's likely that even emperors of dynasties before the Ming Dynasty would not have believed such a claim.

Jiang Chuan's finger moved across the globe, finally stopping on an island in the sea near China. "Take a look at this."

Zhu Jingjing looked over.

It was a small island.

Jiang Chuan said, "Didn't Qin Shi Huang, the First Emperor, send out a fleet to search for immortals and mythical mountains back then? You should know that, right?"

Zhu Jingjing nodded: "I know that. Xu Fu went to sea to seek immortality. It's written in the history books."

Jiang Chuan laughed after hearing this and said, "The immortal mountains and islands that Xu Fu, whom he sent out, was actually right here."

He pointed to the island with his finger.

Zhu Jingjing was stunned. Those immortal mountains and islands were actually so close to the Dragon Kingdom's territory.

Jiang Chuan continued, "Moreover, Xu Fu was a very cunning fellow. He knew perfectly well that there were no immortals or elixirs in the world, and that the First Emperor would definitely kill him if he returned. So he simply settled here with the treasures and people from his fleet and declared himself king."

Beyond the sky.

The Qin Dynasty, Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng was stunned, as if struck by lightning.

Xu Fu?

The one who took away three thousand boys and girls, seeds of five grains, and countless treasures from him, vowing to find immortality and elixirs for him?

He remembers it perfectly clearly.

When Xu Fu left, he said he would definitely find the immortal mountain for His Majesty and obtain the elixir of immortality!

Ying Zheng truly believed it.

He waited for a year, two years, three years, but Xu Fu never returned.

Ying Zheng thought he had died at sea.

And this bastard actually went overseas to establish a country and become king?
