Zhou Lin's lips curved downwards as he looked at the scene before him.
The sword souls of the spears and crossbows beside him were already bowing, their heads lowered in the highest form of respect.
Zhou Lin, Professor Lin, Old Tang, and the others looked upwards. They saw a man in a black dragon robe, wearing an imperial crown, holding the Ding Qin treasure sword.
However, the man's face was a blur, his appearance completely indistinguishable.
Yet, he exuded an aura of majesty, a presence that commanded respect even in silence.
Everyone's hearts tightened.
"This is..."
Old Tang's shock had not yet subsided, and seeing this spectral figure, his mind was struck as if by lightning.
He felt as if he were turning to stone.
He stammered for a long time, unable to utter a complete sentence.
Professor Lin and the archaeology students were even more stunned, gazing blankly at the man.
The Taoist priest, historians, biologist, architecture champion, Wolf King, and other participants were filled with dread, their pupils constricting.
This figure...
In the live stream.
The barrage of comments from netizens had long since ceased.
Only an occasional comment appeared.
"Holy crap, is that Ancestral Dragon? He's wearing a dragon robe! What the hell is going on?"
"Oh my god, it's Ancestral Dragon! That aura, that attire, and that magnificent imperial crown... holy crap..."
"I still have a chance to see Ancestral Dragon's form. This is the fortune I've accumulated over lifetimes. My father never saw him, and I get to?"
"Ancestral Dragon, oh my god, this is Ancestral Dragon, the first true emperor."
...
In the dean's conference room.
Professor Hu, who had been watching the big screen with great excitement, now yielded to Professor Wen.
Regarding history and culture, this Ancestral Dragon was an immensely significant figure.
Professor Wen's excitement was so intense that veins bulged on his neck.
This was the First Emperor...
The very first emperor!
"Ancestral Dragon's form... is this what Ancestral Dragon looked like?"
The dean exclaimed in astonishment, his voice and tone betraying his shock. This was the man who had built such a tomb...
All the professors and experts in the conference room stared intently at the big screen, awestruck.
At this moment, across the internet in Da Xia.
The moment Ancestral Dragon appeared, he had already become the topic of discussion among netizens.

Below the websites, netizens were already engaged in heated discussions.
"I saw Ancestral Dragon, haha, I'm so lucky."
"Damn, I just pinched myself. Ouch, it hurts! I'm not hallucinating, this is the real Ancestral Dragon."
"Even without seeing his face, this physique and aura make me feel an urge to surrender."
"Exactly, this feeling of bowing down and submitting is growing stronger and stronger."
...
With the appearance of Ancestral Dragon, many overseas nations took notice.
Previously, they had not believed the talk of sword souls, but now they did.
"My heavens, does Ancestral Dragon truly exist in this world?"
"Just a sword soul? In Eagle Country, these are spirits. These people have disturbed their peace and should leave immediately."
"These people are detestable, disturbing this heroic spirit. Truly despicable."
Many overseas netizens began to voice their condemnation.
Sakura Country, Great Han Country, and Siam Country also began to criticize the archaeological team in the tomb.
However, Da Xia issued a statement.
This is Da Xia's tomb. No matter what happens, it is unrelated to foreign countries, and outsiders have no right to interfere.
This is our land in Da Xia. We can do as we please. You guys should mind your own business. You're too meddlesome.
Inside the tomb at this moment.
After seeing Ancestral Dragon, Zhou Lin's gaze fell upon the luminous pearl in the imperial crown.
This item would fetch a good price if sold.
"You... kneel."
Ancestral Dragon's voice boomed, filling the space with its majestic tone.
Zhou Lin heard him and looked at Ancestral Dragon. Despite his extraordinary bearing and celestial might, Zhou Lin possessed his own bloodline and was not afraid.
He crossed his arms and smiled faintly at Ancestral Dragon.
"What are you looking at me like that for? Da Qin fell long ago. Stop putting on airs."
Zhou Lin said dismissively.
Ancestral Dragon's sword soul harbored great resentment towards Zhou Lin.
"You killed Cao Hao. You deserve to die."
Ancestral Dragon waved his hand, and the soldier sword souls behind him rose from the ground, transforming into spectral figures. Spears, bronze swords, and crossbows all pointed towards Zhou Lin.
"Professors, Old Tang, everyone, just protect yourselves."
Zhou Lin glanced at Wolf King, whose wounds had just been bandaged.
He gave him a slight nod. At this moment, they could only rely on him to make a desperate effort.
Wolf King endured the pain, understanding Zhou Lin's meaning, and finally nodded with difficulty.
The weapons behind them, as if controlled, advanced towards Zhou Lin.
Zhou Lin's lips curled as he watched the onslaught of sharp weapons.
He lightly brandished his Azure Dragon Sword, and the incoming arrows were blocked by the sword's energy.
Clang—
Even though these bronze swords had seen countless battles, they were like stones hitting an egg against Zhou Lin's Azure Dragon Sword.
The Azure Dragon Sword effortlessly dispatched these bronze swords and spears.
The sound of the Azure Dragon's roar echoed in his ears.
The archaeological team and participants, seeing the weapons approaching them,
scampered in panic. Old Tang had just taken a step, lifting his foot, when an arrow struck the spot where he had been standing.
Everyone's faces turned pale with fright.
In the live stream.
"Holy crap, big shot, calm down! Watch where you're going! Don't hurt your own people!"
"Ah, be careful, be careful! Professor, Professor!"
"Are these arrows going crazy? Why are they darting around everywhere?"
"Ah, damn it, big shot, calm down, don't hurt the professor and Old Tang!"
...
Zhou Lin had no time to check the live stream. After he finished wielding the Azure Dragon Sword, these insignificant swords clattered to the ground.
Just then—
Zhou Lin felt a killing intent.
