Returning To The Cultivation World Through A Game Chapter 40

Heaven-Swallowing Dragon Emperor.
His name was quite famous because he was the first known emperor.
But there are not many stories about him. He wasn't human, and no one knew how strong he was. There are only legends that say that he is a dragon even though there is no evidence to prove it.
Not even his legacy remains.
If it weren't for his name that was too famous and mentioned by the emperors quite often, people might think that he was just a figure of legend.
If the story about him is almost non-existent, not to mention the origin. But there are rumors that say that he comes from an unknown ancient era.
It's hard not to be surprised after hearing the fat boy's words. Even the emperor, they would definitely be surprised if they heard what he said.
Qin Tian couldn't help but stare intently at the fat boy's body.
The two horns on his head and a pair of wings on his back made him wonder if the boy was also a dragon.
He also wondered how long the fat boy had been living in the glass chest.
If it was from the Heaven-Swallowing Dragon Emperor era, then it would really be a very long time ago. Even he wasn't sure how many million years had passed since that era.
On the other hand, the boy showed a satisfied smile as he saw the look of astonishment on Qin Tian's face.
"Hahahaha son, are you scared now. Unfortunately it's too late, you already made this prince angry. But this prince can forgive you as long as you kowtow for one year in front of this prince."
'...'
Qin Tian immediately recovered his expression after he heard his words.
"Don't think about it, fat brat. Even if your father was standing by your side, I still wouldn't kowtow to you." He says.

"You." His round eyes opened wide.
"Stop rambling on, kid. I know what you want, we can talk about it now. As long as it's mutually beneficial, of course." Qin Tian then spoke seriously.
He raised his palms as he spoke.
No matter how unreasonable that fat boy's attitude was, but as the emperor's son, there was no way he would be a fool.
It was said that every child of the emperor had intelligence equal to that of an adult ever since they were in the stomach.
And just as he predicted, the fat boy's expression calmed down immediately after he heard his words.
"Huh." He then snorted lightly. "I know you are not an ordinary person because you can enter the place arranged by my father."
"What is your name?" He suddenly asked.
"Qin Tian." Qin Tian replied casually. "And you?" He also asked.
"Long Pang."
Ding...
Name: Long Pang
Status: Important NPC.
(Note: Techniques you get from an important NPC don't require purchase.)
Ding...
"You accept two missions."
1. Become friends with Long Pang.
Reward: the system will help you awaken the innate weapons.
2. Make Long Pang your subordinate.
Reward: the system will help you solve one of your cultivation problems.
....
"..." Qin Tian
"Ehhmmm." He then cleared his throat.
After which, he then looked at Long Pang once again.
"I know what you want, you definitely want to get out of this place, right?" He asked.
"Yes, it's actually very simple. As long as you pull out those swords and spears, the seal that seals me will also be opened." The answer.
Qin Tian then looked at the sword and spears.
"Huh." He sighed. "Even though the weapons have lost their spiritual power, but I know that I don't even hold their weight with my strength right now." He says.

"That's right. You're still too weak. They are all imperial weapons."
Qin Tian immediately frowned after he heard that those weapons were truly imperial weapons.
The average emperor only left two or three imperial weapons for their sect or clan, but there were ten of them here. It was hard for Qin Tian not to be surprised.
Even though these weapons had lost their imperial spirituality, they were still imperial weapons. Every imperial weapon was made of the most valuable materials in the sixteen heavens.
In reality, even a Saint was not strong enough to lift an imperial weapon. They can only lift the imperial weapons if they had tied their spirituality so that their spirituality obeys their orders.
The ancient saints might be able to carry their weight, but whether they could swing them still depended on how strong they were.
"But what can you give me if I help you?" Qin Tian then asked.
"What, do you think I won't pay you?" The fat boy's tone got high once again.
"Also, can you even help me with that weak power of yours. Hmph, I really can't wait any longer."
"I certainly have a way I can count on." Qin Tian replied.
For example, if he could obtain items that contained the 'emperor aura', he could rely on that to draw those swords and spears from the ground.
"But I wonder what would happen if those swords and spears were pulled from there?" He then asked.
There was no way nothing would happen when a formation involving ten imperial weapons was opened.
Even when the emperor tried to shrink the formation zone, it was still very wide in the eyes of ordinary people.
"Ehmm." The fat boy suddenly cleared his throat.
He looked like he wanted to speak, but his mouth couldn't make a sound.
"Say it!" Said Qin Tian.

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/
