Chapter 14: Light Emerging from the Darkness
After thirteen years, ancient texts such as the "Shangshu", "Shi", and "Li" [1] emerged, and scholars across the world yearned for that lost history more and more.
In the fifteenth year, the Emperor became seriously ill. In a desperate attempt to renew his life, he sent more than 100,000 troops to excavate ancient tombs and look for traces of the elixir of immortality.
Although some ministers gave many criticisms, the court did not submit a large-scale petition against it.
Unfortunately, the elixir remained elusive. Even though hundreds of tombs were excavated, no trace of it could be found.
At the end of the year, the emperor died with regret. Before he died, he passed on his throne to the Prince of Langya.
At this point, Li Fan finally regained control of the world.
Under the influence of Li Fan, the trend of exploring ancient tombs continued to grow.
After seventeen years, a mountain hunter stumbled upon an ancient tomb, pleasing the Imperial Advisor and receiving a noble title as a reward. Since then, the people of the world have become even more enthusiastic and obsessed with exploring ancient tombs. No matter how remote the mountains and forests were, one could see groups of tomb explorers.
Time flowed, and we arrived at the twenty-third year.
