Chapter 337 – Historical Figure

Back at Great Qin, the 1,000 meter long black dragon circled around in the sky, giving off a terrifying aura.
At that moment, the entire Great Qin Town shined with a bright black light, and the black pillar of light that stretched to the sky dimmed before disappearing.
A resplendent black dot of light appeared above the center of the Great Qin City as the City Heart continuously trembled. A formless energy rippled out from the City Heart and entered the black dot of light, causing it to shine even brighter.
Boom!!!
The black dragon in the sky rushed into the black dot, causing a blinding explosion of light and a massive explosion to sound out. After a while, the black light gradually disappeared as a square-shaped, black and gold seal appeared in the air. It was a golden seal with a black dragon on it.
This was Great Qin’s City Lord Seal, and after the City Lord Seal formed, the abnormal signs all disappeared. Zhao Fu stretched out his hand, and the City Lord Seal turned into a black ray of light and flew into his hand.
[Great Qin City Seal]: The Great Qin City’s City Lord Seal. It is the core of a city and controls the greatest authority in the city.
“System announcement! The Great Qin City has successfully condensed a City Lord Seal.”
“System announcement! City Functions have been activated.”
“System announcement! You have received the title ‘City Lord.’”
“System announcement! Congratulations, your Heaven Prayer Platform has leveled up.”
“System announcement! The final three historical figures within Great Qin’s Legacy have awakened.”
Zhao Fu put the Great Qin Seal into his body. City Lord Seals were quite special, and they could be fused with one’s body. As such, City Lord Seals were quite difficult to obtain, and they could only be obtained by killing City Lords. Other methods, such as stealing it, weren’t possible. After all, for most people, even seeing a City Lord Seal was quite rare.
Afterward, Zhao Fu started to go through the system announcements. There was no need to look at the first one, but the second one about City Functions intrigued him.
These City Functions were similar to the City Functions of the system main cities. Upon raising a town to a Basic City, it would gain many of the functions of system main cities.
As for the City Lord title, it made indigenous residents respect him more, and it could increase popular support and soldier morale.
Next was the Heaven Prayer Platform’s stats.
[Heaven Prayer Platform]: A special structure of an Empire Legacy Village. It can level up with a village. Special Stats: Resistance to natural disasters +75%, Chance of spawning S grade or above villagers +40%.
The final system announcement was about three historical figures awakening. However, since they were the ‘final’ ones, did that mean there wouldn’t be any more in the future?
Zhao Fu felt that this was indeed the case from the wording, and he felt quite disappointed. After all, there were still many famed Generals and Ministers of Great Qin who hadn’t appeared yet.
However, these were the rules, and Zhao Fu couldn’t do anything about them. Now, Zhao Fu felt quite curious about the three final historical figures.
Zhao Fu went to the Origin and raised his hand, and three golden rays of light shot up as three figures appeared on the Origin.
The first was a big man with a large beard who was well-built and gave off a valiant aura.

Sima Cuo was one of Great Qin’s famed Generals, and he was a prominent figure in the mid to late periods of the Qin Dynasty. He had performed great contributions to Great Qin, particularly in destroying the State of Shu and attacking the State of Wei and Chu.
Sima Cuo had been extremely loyal and patriotic, but there weren’t many records on what happened to him afterward, making him quite mysterious.
The second person was a young man who was dressed in robes and gave off a scholarly air. His eyes were so piercing that others didn’t dare to look into them directly.
Name: Shang Yang
Grade: SSS
Title: None.
Profession: None.
Achievement Points: Commoner (0/200)

“This person is Shang Yang?” Zhao Fu felt quite surprised. Shang Yang was quite a famous figure, and Great Qin primarily relied on him for legal reforms. It was because of these legal reforms that Great Qin had become rich and powerful, giving it the foundation to unite the other six states. Shang Yang’s contributions weren’t small at all either.
It was a pity that Shang Yang’s end wasn’t too good. Because he had offended King Huiwen of Qin, after Duke Xiao of Qin passed away and King Huiwen of Qin succeeded the throne, he was accused falsely of treason and threatened with execution.
In the end, Shang Yang was forced to raise his own troops, but it was a pity that his side lost. His body was taken back to Xianyang, the capital back then, and his body was torn apart by carts in public.
The third person was a well-built but slightly short person who gave off a steady aura like that of a great commander.
Name: Zhang Han
Grade: SS
Title: None.
Profession: [General], Profession Effects: Can hold two different military professions.
Achievement Points: Commoner (0/200)
Race: Human
Age: 24 (100)
Loyalty: 100
Stats: Strength: 10, Intelligence: 9, Constitution: 8, Agility: 7
Cultivation: Stage 0
Cultivation Technique: None
Skills: None
Equipment: Coarse Cloth Clothes, Cloth Shoes, Coarse Cloth Pants
Zhang Han was another one of Great Qin’s famed Generals, and he lived during the reign of the second Qin Emperor, Hu Hai. He pacified the rebellions started by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang and sought retribution against rebellious feudal princes. He also dealt heavy blows to the States of Wei, Qi, Chu, and Zhao, resulting in the deaths of the King of Wei, Wei Jiu; the King of Qi, Tian Dan; the King of Zhao, Wu Chen; and the State of Chu’s General, Xiang Liang. King Huai of Chu relocated the capital, and Liu Bang and Xiang Ji were forced to retreat.
It was a pity that Great Qin had been completely ripped apart on the inside by Hu Hai, the Second Emperor, and his lackey, the eunuch Zhao Gao. In the end, Zhang Han’s failure was destined – he first lost to Chu and then Han, after which he committed suicide.
After the three of them appeared on the Origin, their eyes gradually gained clarity. They knelt down to Zhao Fu and respectfully called out, “Your Majesty!”
Zhao Fu smiled and told them to rise – he had obtained three more powerful historical figures. It was just a pity that he wouldn’t obtain any more in the future.
Zhao Fu called Li Si and introduced them to Great Qin’s current situation. He then ordered all of the soldiers back and had them prepare to attack Orc City.
Afterward, Zhao Fu went to the City Heart and looked at Great Qin’s new stats.
