Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

The night was dark, the sky was covered with blood-red clouds, and a chilling wind blew.

A dark, ominous moon hung in the night sky, appearing and disappearing amidst the hazy, blood-red clouds.

Amidst the crimson clouds and the pitch-black night sky, the shadowy figure of some enormous, legendary creature could be faintly seen moving about. The shape of the shadowy figure resembled an oriental dragon weaving through the clouds, accompanied by a chilling and terrifying roar.

As far as the eye can see, it's a battlefield!

The scene before me can only be described as breathtaking!

Broken soldiers and halberds, a scene of utter desolation.

The smoke of battle had not yet cleared, and corpses were everywhere.

Everywhere was deathly silent, the barracks were ruins in the wilderness, broken walls and rubble, a scene of devastation.

Amidst the smoke and fire of battle, countless terracotta warriors and stone statues can be seen, their movements frozen in the midst of their carnage. Their halberds are still clashing, and you can even clearly see the ferocious roars on their faces, as if real Qin soldiers had suddenly frozen in place during a battle...

This scene stretched for at least dozens of miles, with no end in sight! And the number of soldiers was simply impossible to count!

Ye Ge remained calm, while the people behind her stared in horror at the scene.

“Where is this…” Nangong Ru asked in surprise.

“It’s an ancient battlefield of the human race,” Ye Ge said. “Although the human race is only the third emperor in Long Ying’s generation, the history of the Qin Kingdom is far more than three generations.”

Nangong Ru gradually realized something in her daze.

The terracotta warrior statues we saw in the earlier underground palaces were all wearing ancient Qin Dynasty armor.

But this time, the armor worn by the terracotta warriors on the battlefield is not a uniform model, but rather standard armor from various civilized nations in the southern, northern, and western borders of the human race at that time!

"Was this the battlefield where the First Emperor unified the human race?" Nangong Ru realized.

“That’s right.” Ye Ge nodded: “At that time, the human race was in chaos. Civilized nations in various places were fragmented and constantly invaded by dark races. Because of differences in writing, language, culture, and beliefs, it was impossible for them to unite and resist foreign enemies.”

"Therefore, the First Emperor decided to send troops to unify the human race. After a hundred years of war, he finally unified the four borders of the east, west, south and north into a complete country."

Nangong Ru nodded, a proud expression on her face: "If it weren't for the First Emperor, the human race might have split into Holy Elves, Silver Elves, Forest Elves... and even Blood Elves and Night Elves who have joined the dark races, just like the elves."

Princess Emilia scoffed at this and muttered, "Tch... So what if you've unified? Even if your ancient great nations merged, you'd still only rank 93rd among all races..."

Ye Ge continued, "In fact, during that period, some small human tribes were not subdued by the First Emperor. After being defeated by the First Emperor, they chose to flee the human continent and seek refuge with the dark race that had enslaved them. They actively embraced the dark power and eventually became members of the dark race."

As Yege finished speaking, he glanced out of the corner of his eye at the three Sun Wheel Clan warriors: Muramasa, the one-eyed dragon, and the middle-aged man.

"..."

Muramasa and the other three were silent.

The vampire curled his lip; he had no interest in listening to Nightsong recount the history of the human race.

"So, how do we get through this?" The vampire looked around and asked, "These terracotta warrior statues that are fighting each other on the battlefield, they shouldn't all come back to life like the statues in the previous underground palaces, right?"

Do these terracotta warrior statues here actually be real stone statues? Otherwise, with so many terracotta warriors, how could it possibly be possible to complete the game?

"Of course," Ye Ge said calmly. "Otherwise, what do you think they're for? To be displayed here as museum exhibits for you to admire?"

"!?!?!" Everyone was astonished.

"You're saying all these terracotta warriors will come back to life???" The Lei Xuan clansman broke out in a cold sweat as he looked around at the battlefield.

This desolate battlefield stretches as far as the eye can see, with no end in sight.

The terracotta warriors, warhorses, and war beasts fighting on the battlefield—just those visible in the field of vision—there must be at least tens of thousands of them, right?

If they all resurrect, what the hell is the point of fighting?!

Ye Ge shrugged: "That's why I said long ago that this level jumps directly from the fourth to the eighth level, so of course the danger level will be greatly increased."

Lei Xuan clansman: "Isn't this setup a bit too exaggerated???"

“So now we…” Emilia also became nervous.

"Don't be nervous," Ye Ge said. "We're in a safe zone right now. We haven't started our operation yet, so these terracotta warriors won't come to life."

Emilia breathed a sigh of relief.

"But it seems we're completely surrounded by these terracotta warriors now, aren't we?" Knight Elon looked around and felt a chill run down his spine.

To pass through this area, you'll eventually have to leave.

Muramasa was losing patience, his gloomy eyes fixed on Yoru: "So what are the conditions for clearing this level?"

"This floor doesn't require collecting anything, nor does it require killing any specific bosses."

Ye Ge raised his hand and pointed to an ancient city in the distance, at the far end of the horizon.

The ancient city looked very far away, at least ten kilometers away.

There is a tall tower in the ancient city, which is at least four or five hundred meters high, so it can be seen at a glance.

"Cross this battlefield, enter that ancient city, climb to the top of that tower, and you will reach the eighth level of the underground palace."

Night Song said this.

Muramasa nodded.

"You said before that we could use bait to attract their attention and lure these terracotta warriors away?" Muramasa paused. "How would we lure them away?"

"..." The one-eyed samurai immediately tensed up.

"Simple." Night Song walked up to One-Eyed Dragon and patted him on the shoulder. "So, as bait, do you want to live?"

“...Nonsense.” The one-eyed man gritted his teeth.

"Then you'd better run faster later."

"..."

"In a little while, just run in the opposite direction of the ancient city," Ye Ge pointed to the west.

One-Eyed Dragon frowned slightly: "Is it that simple?"

"It's that simple." Ye Ge smiled. "The terracotta warriors' detection mechanism is very simple and direct: they attack the first person they see. Once you leave the safe zone we're in now, those terracotta warriors will naturally revive and chase after you."

"But you don't need to worry too much. When you run past these terracotta warriors, they don't start their attack from zero frames after they revive. They will have a few seconds of stun before chasing you. Theoretically speaking, as long as you run fast enough, you have a chance to survive."
