Shawn sat upright at the desk, the Invisible Hand simultaneously controlling three magic pens: one for recording experimental data, the other two for designing. In front of him lay a scroll suspended twenty centimeters above the tabletop, with dragon patterns engraved on it, resembling the cloud patterns of the Eastern Spirit Dragon. Inside the scroll was the recorded Mechanical Mastery of the Zhen Dan people.

This career advancement path is somewhat like a Puppet Master.

Speaking of Eastern stylized mechanical bodies, the wooden ox and flowing horse in the Three Kingdoms, or the Mo Family’s mechanized figures from the Pre-Qin Era, seem to embody that design concept. The highest alchemy construct of the Zhen Dan Empire was the ’Twelve Golden Men of Zhen Dan,’ world wonders level constructs possessing the combat strength to crush Ancient Evils from ancient times.

However, all Twelve Golden Men were wrecked in the War of the Gods in the Barbaric Celestial Domain. Now, the inheritance in the Bizarre Realm can only build ’Guard Golden Men’ level mechanical puppets, with combat power roughly equivalent to high elves’ Refined Gold Golems and Silver Golems.

"Collect the weapons of the world, gather them at Xianyang, melt down their edges, and forge them into twelve golden men."

Shawn looked at the dragon-patterned scroll before him, engraved with the unique language of Zhen Dan, completely different from the Universal Language and quite distinct from the Chinese characters of his previous life on Earth, being more ancient hieroglyphs. It records the alchemy construct knowledge of Zhen Dan civilization, including puppet men, mechanized men, terracotta warriors, golden men, etc.

"Is the Zhen Dan Empire really not the legacy of Huaxia civilization?"

Shawn’s expression was somewhat incredulous, murmuring, "The people of Zhen Dan worship ancestors, perform rituals to heaven and earth, the Spirit Dragon is very similar to the Eastern Dragon, and the first emperor of the empire was called [Ancestral Dragon]."

"And the Twelve Golden Men, the Great Wall, the Celestial White Jade City, and other world wonders."

"Isn’t this the civilization of Great Qin?"

Shawn gently raised a finger, the writings on the dragon-patterned scroll changed. This scroll was like a small USB drive, capable of changing its writings upon activation through mana, allowing access to the mysterious knowledge imprinted within.

Models of terracotta warriors floated to the surface of the scroll, appearing almost exactly like the terracotta warriors!

"These are absolutely the terracotta warriors!"

Shawn’s gaze was very certain; he came from Huaxia on Earth and could not possibly mistake terracotta warriors.

The alchemy knowledge recorded on the scroll was extremely detailed, sourced by Aemon, who even utilized the power of the Seven Evil Guards.

"Using improved Clay Golem manufacturing techniques."

"But at lower cost."

"Terracotta warriors are also made from fired clay."

Shawn began to analyze the alchemy knowledge before him, becoming more shocked as he read, murmuring: "If designed like this, the cost of a terracotta warrior would be only one-tenth that of a Clay Golem, while ten terracotta warriors can form a battle array, automatically enabling the Combat Specialization ’Defense and Attack.’"

"The Zhen Dan people upgraded their mechanical golems into battle array models."

"Ten-person array?"

"Hundred-person array?"

"Would a hundred-person battle array require higher-tier golden construct bodies?"

Even if the Zhen Dan Empire isn’t the legacy of Huaxia on Earth, it is highly likely to be Huaxia civilization’s counterpart in this Multiverse, as a little similarity might be normal, but so many resemblances definitively indicate a significant relationship with Huaxia civilization.

"The Spirit Dragon suddenly descended upon the Barbaric Celestial Domain Crystal Wall Series, during the end of the Ancient Era, entering the Barbaric Realm together with the Eastern ancestors."

Too much time has passed.

Shawn is entirely unable to verify whether the original Eastern ancestors were ancient Huaxia travelers, but all that he saw before him undoubtedly caused his appreciation for the people of Zhen Dan to soar. To some extent, their civilization is very close to the High Magic civilization of the Pre-Qin Empire.

If not for the War of the Gods, based on Shawn’s current analysis of alchemy skills, the Zhen Dan Empire had great potential to advance to an Interstellar Civilization.

"I must visit the Celestial White Jade City once!"

Shawn slowly put away the dragon-patterned scroll in his hand, the alchemy skills of the Zhen Dan civilization equating to Huaxia techniques from the High Magic Plane. Moreover, the Zhen Dan people had sheltered a portion of the Spirit Essence, unlike the fairy species elsewhere; in the Zhen Dan Region, the spirit creatures are Spirit Monsters and Enchanting Spirits.

Spirit monsters resemble the traditional Eastern Huaxia concept of mountain spirits and wild monsters, while enchanting spirits are Eastern-styled fairy species, with power akin to Lake Fairies, Water Spirits, Tree Spirits, and so on.

However, Eastern Enchanting Spirits have a bit of the Spirit Dragon’s bloodline, representing the Jiang Ling race, whose essence creatures are nurtured by the spirituality of mountains, rivers, and streams.

"Like tree spirits and water spirits, they are naturally nurtured nature spirits."

Without parents, nurtured by natural spirituality, this is the most distinct characteristic of essence life forms.

"Master."

At this moment, a gentle footstep sounded from outside the laboratory, followed by a sweet fragrance wafting gently, recognizable as the seductive scent of an Enchanting Demon due to its aphrodisiac effect; they can control their hormone secretion, having upgraded Tanarri Demon genetic bloodlines.

Veronica held a cup of green tea and walked to the desk, cautiously placing it down, saying: "Yvonne Tanner has recently been successful in developing followers, having recruited several mid to high-tier Transcendents."

Shawn put away the dragon-patterned scroll in his hand, calming the waves in his heart; he’ll know what the people of Zhen Dan are truly inheriting when he goes to see them himself.
