Chapter 5 - Chapter 5 - Introduction

Spring and Autumn Period

"The twelve phantoms correspond to these twelve chains. These chains likely represent the fates of the phantoms behind them. The chains boring into their skull signifies that the fates of those phantoms are now entirely in their hands," Laozi said calmly.

===[Sky Screen]===

Dante: ""

Faust: "The beating of our hearts now depends on where your hands fall. I hope you'll make a fine leader."

Dante: "<"Our"...?>"

Ishmael: "Is that really everything?"

At this moment, a woman with long orange hair, holding a mace and a shield, appeared from behind Faust.

===[Line Break]===

"Mother, look at the big sister in the sky. Her hair is so long and big, and the color is different from ours."

"Oh my, don't talk nonsense. Be careful, or the gods might punish you."

Tang Dynasty

"The hair color is a bit like the Hu merchants from the Western Regions." Emperor Taizong of Tang looked at Ishmael's hair with doubt.

"Furthermore, the name Ishmael doesn't sound like someone from the Central Plains. Could it be a deity worshipped by a small kingdom in the Western Regions?"

===[Sky Screen]===

Yi Sang: "A single apple has fallen."

At this moment, a sickly-looking man appeared.

Ishmael: "…This guy's still not making any sense."

Rodion: "Geeeez~ The wait was killing me! Finally some action now?"

Following behind was a formidable-looking woman holding a sharp axe.

Gregor: "Well, I guess we could use a little warm-up."

===[Line Break]===

At this moment, Gregor appeared, drawing the attention of everyone across the dynasties, primarily focused on that eerie arm on his right.

"Another monster appeared. What's that on his right arm? An insect?"

"Look at him again. Although his arm hasn't changed, the rest of him is exactly like a human. He must be an insect demon with at least several decades of cultivation."

Han Dynasty

Emperor Gaozu of Han was also startled as he looked at Gregor's insect arm.

"I've heard before that demons can take human form after a hundred years of cultivation. I'm finally seeing it today," Emperor Gaozu of Han said excitedly.

"Your Majesty, let's talk about making my son the Crown Prince first." Lady Qi whispered into Emperor Gaozu of Han's ear as she lay beside him.

Lady Qi didn't care about the content on the sky screen. As long as her son, Liu Ruyi, became the Crown Prince, what would Lü Zhi even matter?

===[Sky Screen]===

Outis: "What is that wretch miserably writhing on the ground? Are they to be the newest addition to the team?"

At this moment, a dark-skinned older woman holding a saber appeared.

===[Line Break]===

"She is a strong one. The enemies who have died by her hand must number in the hundreds, if not thousands," Bai Qi said solemnly.

As the Human Butcher, he could judge a person's killing intent based on their aura alone. In his view, someone with the killing intent Outis radiated could not possibly have less than decades of battlefield slaughter behind her.

===[Sky Screen]===

Gregor: "Uh… You might wanna watch your words… I heard that's our soon-to-be boss…"

Faust: "The attack must've happened in an instant—I'm impressed you managed to hide your head."

Dante: ""

Faust: "We are bearers of justice who have come to aid you, and this is the magical bus that takes us wherever we wish to go."

===[Line Break]===

Warring States Period

"Go anywhere? This object is truly miraculous. Its exterior is clearly made of refined iron, yet it moves without the need for livestock. How exactly is this achieved?" a group of Mohist disciples exclaimed.

Qin Dynasty

"Go anywhere? Does that mean it can even reach the Penglai Immortal Island?" Qin Shi Huang became instantly excited upon hearing this.

"Order the Mohists to immediately build the bus that appeared on the sky screen for me!"

At this time, Qin Shi Huang was longing for immortality. Hearing Faust say it could go anywhere, he was immediately moved and ordered the Mohists, who were skilled in craftsmanship, to build the bus shown on the sky screen.

The Mohists: "Heh, His Majesty truly thinks too highly of us."
