A Lostbelt, after all, is just a Lostbelt. Once successfully repaired by Nameless, it vanishes without a trace.
This means Qin Shi Huang's so-called Space Great Wall and Lishan Hero Vault cannot manifest in reality!
"Surely the Emperor of China doesn't think that simply watching the video and awakening related memories would allow him to conjure the Space Great Wall out of thin air, does he?"
The [God-King] laughed with extreme mockery, "The great Emperor of China couldn't possibly be that naive, could he? Could he? Could he? Could he?"
"Indeed, it's impossible. In the previous Lostbelt, Qin Shi Huang and the globally unified Qin Empire took a full three hundred years to construct the Space Great Wall!" Councilor [Athena] smiled.
The Space Great Wall encircling the Earth was an unprecedented, terrifying project beyond human comprehension.
Even she couldn't fathom what methods were used to build it.
It could only be described as—
A miracle of God!
Speaking of which, does China's reputation as the "Infrastructure Maniac" come with such terrifying bonuses?
None of that matters.
What's important is that after [Alaya] released the exposure video, Qin Shi Huang could indeed recover related memories and become immensely powerful.
But that's all.
He couldn't materialize the Space Great Wall out of nowhere, nor could he summon the [Lishan Hero Vault].
The former would require three hundred years.
The latter would take a staggering 2,603 years!
By the time three hundred years pass, China would have long since submitted to their rule, becoming their most fervent believers!
As the people of China would say—
The yellow flowers have gone cold!
Councilor [Moon Goddess] was utterly astonished: "The Twelve Golden Colossi created by Qin Shi Huang are clearly twelve formidable mechas that can greatly amplify the user's power."
This power amplification is almost identical to the remnants of the Olympian gods they had obtained.
Where on earth did Qin Shi Huang acquire such black technology that transcends both era and humanity?
[Athena] said gravely, "We must accelerate our progress. Otherwise, given enough time, Qin Shi Huang will undoubtedly decipher the [God of War] mecha!"
Let's not forget—Councilor [God of War] was previously slain by Nameless, Qin Shi Huang, and others in a joint effort.
His corpse remains in China.
Once this Lostbelt: Great Qin video is exposed, Qin Shi Huang, with his restored memories, will surely be able to fully analyze it!
After all, he was even capable of creating the space-faring Gundam Xiang Yu—he could easily extrapolate the principles.
Given time, he would undoubtedly replicate the [God of War] mecha.
And by combining it with Gundam Xiang Yu's technology, he might even achieve the miracle of a counterfeit surpassing the original!
[Athena] scoffed coldly, "Qin Shi Huang was taught by the King of Counterfeits, Nameless—we must be cautious!"
In the previous Unlimited Blade Works, Nameless had frenziedly replicated and projected the Noble Phantasms of the King of Heroes.
He had even declared, "There's no rule that says a fake can't surpass the original."
Compared to kings like the King of Heroes and King Arthur, he naturally earned another epithet—
[The King of Counterfeits!]
No matter what Noble Phantasm it was, a single glance was all he needed to replicate and project it.
An utterly terrifying and overpowered ability.
Given that Qin Shi Huang was taught by such a man, there was an eighty percent chance he also possessed similar analytical and replication skills.
The most horrifying part?
All the counterfeit Noble Phantasms projected by Nameless could be reproduced infinitely.
He treated them as disposable tools, detonating them without hesitation for explosive attacks!
If Qin Shi Huang were to fully decipher the [God of War] mecha—
Councilor [Athena] dared not imagine the consequences.
That nation was, after all, the most adept at turning black technology into dirt-cheap, mass-produced commodities!
The [God-King] Speaker responded with unyielding authority: "Good! Then we shall continue applying relentless pressure, breaking China's spine and forcing them to kneel in submission!"
Back then, they had given Qin Shi Huang the chance to lead China to greatness.
Now, they would never grant him that opportunity again!
Coincidentally, in the Lostbelt, Qin Shi Huang's policies were nothing short of tyrannical and inhumane.
It was as if he had handed them evidence on a silver platter.
Thank you, Alaya!
"Then, let us hold a vote on whether to formally declare war on Nameless and Qin Shi Huang!" declared the [God-King] Speaker.
Strike while the iron is hot.
This time, they would not give their enemies any breathing room!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Hands shot up one after another, swiftly passing the resolution.
The [God-King] Speaker remained expressionless.
This council was still not free enough.
It denied him the freedom to make decisions as he pleased.
In the future, he would seize absolute control!
...
China.
Epang Palace.
The Lostbelt of Qin video had finished playing.
All the Heroic Spirits present murmured among themselves.
This was the 21st century, after all—unlike the rigidly hierarchical Great Qin era over two millennia ago, strict formalities were no longer unbreakable.
Chen Gong gazed at the sprite on the screen with a delighted smile. "This fellow would make the perfect strongest teammate for me!"
His [Two-Pronged Formation] could push allies beyond their limits to unleash maximum power.
And as a sprite, the other party could sacrifice their physical form to execute their ultimate attack.
The two were practically made for each other.
Perfect, ultra-high destructive power—infinite self-detonation!
"Indeed. We could ask Yu Mei-ren if she's willing to cooperate with us," Zhuge Liang nodded in agreement.
This wasn't merely a case of one plus one equaling two—it was a multiplier, even tenfold increase in power!
Even the infamous human calamity, the fox spirit, would rather flee than face them head-on.
When the time came to battle the Council of Gods, this could serve as their ultimate trump card, one that could truly threaten the gods!
So, how exactly should they deal with the gods of the Council of Gods?
Zhuge Liang tentatively asked, "Your Majesty, may I ask if you've grown stronger after the video was exposed?"
The other party was the absolute pillar of China.
The eternal First Emperor, revered by two billion Chinese.
In Lostbelt of Qin, he had initially appeared as a lofty, godlike figure.
But at the final moment, Qin Shi Huang personally severed the Fantasy Tree, fully reclaiming his humanity, and spent his last moments peacefully reciting poetry and admiring the moon with ordinary people as the Lostbelt crumbled.
Later, he even answered Nameless' summons, descending to Chaldea as a heroic spirit to fight for the preservation of human history.
One could say that this series of actions ensured he would never be resented like the Lion King.
Instead, people only grew more devoted in their admiration of him!
Letting go—that was the rarest choice of all.
Letting go of eternal rule, letting go of his Grand Saint Graph, letting go of his mechanical divine body, letting go of the Great Qin Empire, letting go of everlasting peace…
Everything—absolutely everything—was willingly relinquished by his own hand, all for the sake of witnessing humanity's boundless future.
Compared to miracles like the Great Wall of Space, this was what Zhuge Liang admired most about him.
All the heroic spirits present turned their eyes toward him.
Awaiting the Emperor's response.
"We have this Emperor here," Qin Shi Huang stated calmly.
A single sentence that put every heroic spirit at ease.
Over a century ago, when foreign enemies invaded from all sides,
It was Qin Shi Huang, wielding the Heaven-Questioning Sword, who personally defeated each formidable foe, forging the peaceful golden age they now enjoyed.
Whether in the Lostbelt or Proper Human History, he was indisputably the strongest emperor!
Qin Shi Huang's mood was complicated. "So, that's what happened afterward…"
After watching the Lostbelt of Qin video, he finally understood why he existed in his current form.
This so-called human body was merely a Saint Graph he had fashioned.
His true body was none other than the Epang Palace beneath his feet!
And now he knew why Nameless had been so reluctant to meet him at first.
Despite protecting and guiding him, Nameless had been mercilessly struck down by the Great Wall of Space.
After such a brutal battle in the Lostbelt, it was no wonder he hadn't wanted to see him!
But after the Lostbelt's end, while seated upon the Throne of Heroes, Qin Shi Huang had seen the summoning call sent out by the other.
As the former Alaya of the Lostbelt, he could effortlessly suppress the surrounding heroic spirits, driving them all away to ensure he alone would answer the summons!
A miracle from a single summon?
Hah, did they know how many heroic spirits he had defeated behind the scenes?
Crushing and overwhelming countless spirits—all so he could descend by Nameless' side and atone for his past mistakes!
Just then—
Zhuge Liang looked exceptionally solemn as he said, "Your Majesty, the Council of Gods has issued a new proclamation, building upon their previous 'Seven Deadly Sins'!"
Earlier, to strike at China, the Pantheon of the Council of Gods had directly published "The Seven Deadly Sins of Qin Shi Huang of China." In the name of God, they sought to pass judgment on Qin Shi Huang. The so-called seven sins were nothing but groundless accusations, twisting the truth.
Now, following the exposure of Alaya's new video, the Council of Gods has added more charges based on the Lostbelt.
[The Eighth Sin: Extinguishing Human Wisdom! To prevent the people from rebelling, Qin Shi Huang sought to mentally imprison the populace, severing cultural heritage and attempting to raise humans like livestock!]
Zhuge Liang and the others exchanged uneasy glances. Those Council of Gods fellows were indeed more cunning than they had anticipated. Striking right when the video had just been released—at its most explosive and impactful moment—was a direct hit to the heart of the matter.
After all, in the Lostbelt, Qin Shi Huang had severed cultural heritage to erase concepts like "war" from their roots, all to build an eternally peaceful Great Qin. A world where everyone could enjoy a utopian life. In this regard, neither side was wrong. Qin Shi Huang sought to create a stable and prosperous era, while Nameless pursued an infinite yet perilous future.
"Better a dog in times of peace than a man in times of war."
For many ordinary people, such a stable and peaceful world was genuinely preferable.
[The Ninth Sin: Mass Murder of the Innocent! Anyone who sought to spread culture would be sentenced to death, with their entire clan exterminated! Qin Shi Huang personally ordered the slaughter of an entire village, thousands of lives!]
This, too, was a true event from the Lostbelt!
Zhuge Liang sighed deeply.
Earlier, Nameless and Jing Ke had taught poetry to ordinary villagers, which Qin Shi Huang saw as a source of chaos—a threat to the peace of Great Qin's rule.
The Qin Shi Huang of the Lostbelt had directly dropped a section of the Great Wall like a meteor, intending to wipe out the entire village of thousands.
Had Nameless not desperately struck down the meteor with a single sword stroke, he would have succeeded!
[The Tenth Sin: Vainglorious Extravagance! Qin Shi Huang ceaselessly embarked on massive construction projects and waged wars in all directions, all to satisfy his own insatiable greed—building the Epang Palace, the Lishan Tomb, and even the Great Wall in space!]
As the Prime Minister of China, Zhuge Liang knew full well that even in modern times, such colossal projects would drain the entire national treasury!
So how had Qin Shi Huang managed to build a Great Wall in space?
Beyond these, there were also titles like [Warmonger Who Attacked the Entire World] and [Arch-Criminal Threatening Human History]—a whole slew of damning accusations.
In the grand hall, the assembled officials urgently deliberated on how to counter the aggressive advance of the Pantheon of the Lighthouse.
The enemy had clearly come prepared, intent on declaring outright war on China!
Zhuge Liang could only sigh in resignation.
The previously acquired [God of War] mecha could undoubtedly be researched and analyzed by Qin Shi Huang given his current capabilities.
The problem was, the other side—Council of Gods—wouldn't give him that time. They wanted to eliminate him swiftly and decisively!
Bzzz—
At that moment, Qin Shi Huang, who had been silent all this while, suddenly waved his hand.
A vast, ocean-like surge of magical energy erupted from Xiang Yu's body beside him.
His frame rapidly expanded, transforming into a towering, muscular giant.
Xiang Yu, feeling the immense power coursing through him, looked up at the throne in astonishment. "This is… Your Majesty?"
Bzzz—
Qin Shi Huang did not answer. Instead, he waved his hand once more.
A dazzling radiance burst forth from Xiang Yu's body, now brimming with terrifying power.
This radiance coalesced into a towering, silver-white armor dozens of meters tall, encasing his entire form.
Once again, he had become a fearsome weapon of war!
The magical energy surging within him was no less than that of an ordinary deity!
Facing the stunned gazes of all present, Qin Shi Huang spoke calmly, "When we faced the gods before, it was the gentleman who protected me. This time, let me protect the gentleman—and China!"
"Long live His Majesty!"
All the Heroic Spirits present were overcome with excitement.
Their emperor could actually bestow the power of the Lostbelt directly upon his subordinate Heroic Spirits!
In an instant, Xiang Yu had become the strongest war machine forged over two thousand years in the Lostbelt.
Then, if they dared to imagine—could everything else be summoned as well?
