Gao Yao: Where Is My Immortality Medicine?

An hour later, the pain gradually faded from Zuzong's body.

The system prompt sounded in Zuzong's mind:

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully integrating with the Eight Spider Lances . The Eight Spider Lances have merged with the host and are now one with you.]

At the same time, with the sound of fabric tearing, the clothes on Zuzong's back were instantly ripped apart. Eight fist-sized protrusions bulged on either side of his spine.

Next, the eight protrusions suddenly burst open. Strangely, the skin on Zuzong's back didn't peel back. From the eight bulges, deep purple objects about the thickness of a fist emerged, and they grew rapidly.

In just the blink of an eye, the deep purple objects had grown to over a meter long, and they continued to extend at a remarkable speed. When they reached over 1.5 meters, they briefly paused, and joint-like structures appeared at the tips. As the deep purple objects extended further, they grew in another direction from the joints.

Out of the corner of his eye, Zuzong glanced at them and muttered, "So... these are the Eight Spider Lances ?"

The eight purple-black appendages continued to grow until they were over three meters long. They gleamed with a purple sheen, smooth and glossy. The part closest to Zuzong's back was the thickest, tapering off towards the ends, which were sharp like spikes.

Zuzong moved slightly, but found that he couldn't yet control the eight spider legs. Within moments, the furniture in the room was shredded to pieces by the sharp legs. Fortunately, the Rose Hotel had soundproofing, or it would have attracted a crowd.

After a brief period of destruction, Zuzong gradually mastered the control of the Eight Spider Lances .

"Sigh, suddenly having eight extra legs is really hard to get used to. I guess I'll need to practice more in the future."

As he spoke, Zuzong retracted the Eight Spider Lances into his body.

Looking around, Zuzong saw the room was in complete disarray. The once cozy, pink room was now utterly ruined, as if it had been ransacked by dozens of huskies on a million-dollar renovation spree.

Zuzong smiled bitterly, changed into new clothes, and murmured, "Looks like I'll have to go downstairs later and pay for the damages."

"System, continue to steal."

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully stealing a box of immortality medicine (three pills) from Zhao Gao (Gao Yao) of the 'The Myth' world. Zhao Gao's hatred for the host has risen to 100%. The host gains 10,000 hatred points. Zhao Gao wants to kill the host.]

Zuzong froze, then burst into wild joy. Although he prided himself on being a genius destined to become a god, the same couldn't be said for those around him. If something unexpected happened in the future, the immortality medicine would serve as a safety net, preserving their lives.

"Oh wow, immortality! I didn't expect to steal something like this. Not bad, not bad!"

[Ding! Zhao Gao's hatred is maxed out. The host is about to be automatically transported to the 'The Myth' world, location: Xianyang Palace. Countdown: 10, 9, 8…]

This time, Zuzong didn't panic like before. Strictly speaking, it wasn't even a real "failure." Although the 'The Myth' world was eligible for world travel, it was ultimately an ordinary world. Even someone as powerful as Xiang Yu was just so-so. No matter how many soldiers or horses there were, Zuzong felt no fear.

Meanwhile, in the 'The Myth' world.

Inside Xianyang Palace, Emperor Qin Shi Huang, Qin Shi Huang, was gravely ill, in desperate need of immortality medicine to save his life.

"Zhao Gao, are you planning to rebel?"

"I didn't expect that I, Zhao Gao, could achieve immortality too, haha," Zhao Gao (Gao Yao) laughed. He had deliberately dismissed all the eunuchs, maids, and guards just for this moment. Once Qin Shi Huang died, he could alter the imperial edict, sentence Fusu and Meng Tian to death, and enthrone Hu Hai, the emperor's eighteenth son, making Zhao Gao the most powerful man in the empire.

Just as Gao Yao was about to open the box and consume the immortality pills, something astonishing happened. The three pills, along with the box, suddenly vanished from his hands.

Gao Yao screamed, "What...what's going on? Where did the immortality pills go? Where's my immortality medicine?!"

Even the dying Qin Shi Huang was stunned, his mouth agape. A miracle! Was this divine intervention, a god showing mercy to protect his kingdom from falling into the hands of traitors?

In the next moment, the air in the palace twisted and distorted.

Under the shocked gazes of Gao Yao and Qin Shi Huang, a young man with silver-blue hair, dressed in black, emerged from the twisted space, gently landing on the floor.

Zuzong looked around, seeing the severely weakened Qin Shi Huang lying on the floor and the terrified Zhao Gao standing nearby. He smiled, "Well, that's some good luck. I didn't expect to meet the main character right away."

Seeing a godlike person appearing out of thin air, Gao Yao immediately dropped to his knees and bowed deeply. "This humble servant, Zhao Gao, greets the immortal!"

Zuzong glanced at Zhao Gao but said nothing. He looked at the bedridden Qin Shi Huang, his gaze complicated.

Ever since childhood on his previous planet, Earth, Zuzong had admired this legendary emperor. Abolishing the feudal system, establishing the commandery system; unifying writing, roads, and weights and measures; driving back the Xiongnu to the north, conquering Baiyue to the south, building the Great Wall, and constructing the Lingqu Canal to connect the Yangtze and Pearl River systems—what a heroic figure.

Although Qin Shi Huang did many absurd things in his later years in pursuit of immortality, there was no denying his title as the "Emperor of Eternity" leaving a lasting legacy of unity in China. Even though China experienced chaos after him, it would always reunify.

Fortunately, Zuzong knew this was just a copy of Qin Shi Huang, otherwise, his faith might have crumbled.

"P-please, immortal, save...save me," Qin Shi Huang stammered, his voice weak as he neared the end of his life, unable to form a complete sentence.

Zuzong shook his head, activating his Nine Yang Divine Skill and using soul power to move Qin Shi Huang to the bed. Seeing this, Zhao Gao was even more terrified. 

Zuzong ignored Zhao Gao and looked at the counterfeit Qin Shi Huang, murmuring in his mind, "Let me be impulsive just this once."

Zuzong opened his right hand, gathering the Nine Yang soul power in his palm. "Blue Silver Emperor—Activate!" A Blue Silver Emperor, radiating life energy, appeared in his hand, its leaves gently wrapping around Qin Shi Huang.

As Zuzong poured soul power into him, Qin Shi Huang's pale face slowly regained color. After just a few moments, Zuzong stopped the soul power infusion, leaving a half-meter-tall Blue Silver Emperor plant in the room.

Qin Shi Huang, feeling rejuvenated, immediately knelt and bowed. "Thank you, immortal! Thank you, immortal!"

Zuzong waved his hand. "Don't thank me yet. I've only temporarily relieved your illness. In your current state, you won't last more than six months."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shi Huang froze. So, he was still destined to die? He began kowtowing repeatedly. "Please, immortal, grant me divine medicine so I can live forever. The Qin Dynasty will worship you for generations!"

Seeing Qin Shi Huang in such a pitiful state, Zuzong felt even more disappointed. The great emperor, reduced to this by the 'The Myth' TV show's director. This was why Zuzong didn't fully cure him. What he mourned for was Fusu, Meng Tian, and the generations of Qin kings who had built the powerful Qin Empire through their blood and sweat.

T/N - Some knowledge about "The Myth" TV series. In this series, two characters travel back in time of Qin Dynasty. Zhao Gao(Gao Yao) is one of the characters and antagonist of the show. Both of these characters after travelling back in time caused changes in the dynasty, which in turn affected the future.

Don't worry, this section is just of two chapters and plays no major part in the main story. It was just added by author to get immortality medicine and also change the ending of one of his favourite shows.
