Chapter 250 - Newly-added Theme: Han, the Three Kingdoms!

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

After that, as the scroll unfolded, the historical events of the Eastern Han period began to present themselves to the people of the Twin Dragon Mount.

“In 89 AD, Dou Xian defeated the Northern Xiongnu and made the Inscription of Yanran.”

“In 94 AD, Ban Chao pacified Karasahr, more than 50 kingdoms in the Western Regions paid tribute and declared themselves vassals!”

There were also images of Han heroes.

There was Cai Lun, who improved papermaking technology; Zhang Heng, who created the seismograph and the armillary sphere; and Zhang Daoling, who established the Way of the Five Pecks of Rice…

The images above the Temple of Providence kept changing, and soon, it had covered the first century of the Eastern Han. After the rise and prosperity, the decline inevitably arrived.

“The Azure Sky is already dead; the Yellow Sky will soon rise. When the year is first in the sexagenary cycle, there will be prosperity under Heaven!”

“Attack!”

The image then changed, showing a chaotic battlefield.

The appearance of one side clearly indicated that they were Han soldiers, while men of the other side all wore yellow turbans, used hoes or bamboo sticks as their weapons, and chanted their slogans.

“It was 184 AD, and Zhang Jiao started the Yellow Turban Rebellion!”

Elder Meng explained to the others with a smile on his face.

“The Yellow Turban Rebellion?

“Wait. That’s not right. It’s the history of the Three Kingdoms, isn’t it? Why is it the Han Dynasty?

“I may not have had much schooling, but every time I played the Records of the Three Kingdoms games, the plot always started from year 184. Am I right?”

Mister Bug asked curiously with his eyes wide open.

“Strictly speaking, the Three Kingdom isn’t Han, but the heroes of the Three Kingdoms period didn’t solely belong to that period…”

“Elder Meng, you’ve thought about this from the very beginning, haven’t you?”

Seeing Elder Meng, who had resumed his calmness, Elder Jiao realized something.

When it came to historical heroes, many didn’t belong to a single dynasty. For instance, Liu Bang was a man of both the Qin and the Han Dynasty.

It was the same with heroes of the Three Kingdoms period.

Most of the famous heroes such as Lv Bu, Cao Cao, Zhou Yu, and Zhuge Liang gained their fame in the last years of Eastern Han. Some of them even worked in the Eastern Han court once.

Take the very well-known “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” as an example. More than 2/3 of the book took place in the Eastern Han Dynasty!

“It means that we’re not getting the Han theme alone. It also comes with the Three Kingdoms theme. This Book of Civilization contains a double theme. It’s such a sweet deal.”

Qin Yueyu looked happy as well.

“Heroes of the Three Kingdoms?”

Even Ji Ye seemed excited.

After all, it was the Three Kingdoms.

It wasn’t that he thought the heroes of the Three Kingdoms era were better than those of the entire Han Dynasty, but because the capability and potential of the historical heroes in the Land of Inheritance were not only related to the real history, but it was also affected by their fame and popularity in their own civilization.

The more famous a hero was, to some extent, the more potential they would have.

For instance, when Nie Xiaoqian was first summoned, she was only a Quasi-commander. But now, she was a real Commander, and the talent skill she gained after she reached Extraordinary Rank-5 made her as capable as a Superior hero.

That should work for the Han heroes as well.

In terms of their true capability and achievements in history, the top heroes such as Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Han Xin, Wei Qing, and Huo Qubing definitely excelled most of the Three Kingdoms heroes.

But one had to admit that because of the popularity of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and various literature and games of the Three Kingdoms theme, some historically second- and third-grade generals and counselors became more famous than many lords and kings of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, the Three Kingdoms era might have more heroes with higher potential than those of the entire Han Dynasty.

“This is a pleasant surprise!

“Although Eastern Han perished in 202, most of the military officers and civil officials of the Three Kingdoms were already born by then. That is to say, apart from a handful of heroes such as Yang Hu and Lu Kang, who were born very late in the Three Kingdoms period, the Twin Dragon Mount will be qualified to summon heroes from the kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu!” Elder Jiao said with a smile.

Of course, it was still a little too early to say that.

After all, if the Book of Civilization ended the next moment, all their excitement would be for nothing.

However, as it turned out, the concern was completely unnecessary.

A Perfect Book of Civilization represented all the characters it covered,

“Dong Zhuo held Emperor Xian hostage and became a dictator himself… Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao… In the Battle of Chibi, Sun Quan and Liu Bei formed an alliance and defeated Cao Cao. The three kingdoms were thus set!”

The first half of the Three Kingdoms era that people knew well all showed up in the Temple of Providence.

Just like before, apart from the historical events, there were a lot of heroes as well.

Hua Tuo, the “Medical Immortal”, created the cannabis boil powder for surgeries. Zhang Zhongjing, the “Medical Sage”, wrote “Treatise on Cold Pathogenic and Miscellaneous Diseases”. Xu Shen, the “Linguistic Sage”, wrote “Discussing Writing and Explaining Characters”…

In the end, the image showed a man wearing the crown of the Han Dynasty. In the eyes of hundreds of thousands of troops, he turned pale and had someone give his seal to a man who looked similar to Cao Cao.

[In the 25th year of Jian’an, Cao Pi usurped the throne, officially ending the Han Dynasty, which had lasted 407 years in total!]

The scroll of the Book of Civilization finally closed up. They then faded and suspended below the two three-meter yellow five-clawed Dragons of Providence.

“Is it done?”

Mister Bug’s eyes widened and didn’t seem to have had enough yet.

“Yes, it is.”

Guo Wei nodded.

“What happens to the Oath of the Peach Garden, the Three Heroes against Lv Bu, Force Five Passes and Slay Six Captains, and the Battle of Changban?”

Mister Bug scratched the blue big-eared mouse tattoo on her arm.

“Because the Book of Civilization we obtained is ‘history’ instead of literature like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. However, when we actually summon the heroes, their abilities won’t be restricted to historical events,” said Guo Wei.

“Really?”

“Really!”

“I don’t believe it, unless Master Ji demonstrates it!”

Mister Bug shook his head repeatedly while darting glances at Ji Ye.

“Based on the statistics of the confederate government, the heroes that are historical figures generally will have higher levels than heroes of other types… That is to say, to be able to summon famous historical figures, we will need Transcendent or Special offerings!”

It was a pattern on the Land of Inheritance.

Heroes that were historical figures would have higher initial levels than fictional characters.

Because of that, a low-level official who had been mentioned in history would have Extraordinary power, and top historical figures such as Yue Fei had been deemed “Legendary” by the Confederation Office.

Although most of the heroes from the Three Kingdoms weren’t of Yue Fei’s level, outstanding heroes could certainly reach the Transcendent level.

“Master, we obtained five special Perfect offerings in the Battlefield of Providence, didn’t we?”

One of the management-level players was filled with expectations as well.

“That’s right!

“However, all five offerings we obtained from the Battlefield of Providence are Rare. That is to say, we can use them to summon heroes that don’t belong to the background of our settlement.

“Theoretically, as long as our settlement develops normally, we’ll have a lot of Transcendent offerings to summon heroes of the Three Kingdoms and Han. But Rare offerings that can be used to summon heroes of different backgrounds won’t be so easy to get. Are you sure you want to use one?”

Ji Ye nodded.

Unlike the Rare offerings from earlier, Ji Ye realized that the Rare offerings produced by the Battlefield of Providence could also be used as common offerings to summon heroes of the same background of their settlement.

Obviously, that was a more reasonable setting.

After all, this was a hard-earned Perfect offering that the entire settlement had worked for.

However, even though this offering could summon foreign heroes, it couldn’t summon people one was familiar with. It just didn’t make sense.

Moreover, summoning heroes of different backgrounds had its uncertainty.

For instance, if they summoned a Transcendent hero who used magic, the Twin Dragon Mount wouldn’t be able to provide the required materials.

Summoning heroes of their own settlement wouldn’t have such a problem. If it came to that, they could always use the Stone of Civilization to transform objects they needed.

“Since we all agree, we’ll have a sacrificial ritual then!”

Because everyone was looking forward to Mister Bug’s proposal, Ji Ye didn’t disappoint the others.

The truth was, he also wanted to know who would be the first Transcendent hero the Twin Dragon Mount would summon.

If they really could summon a Han or Three Kingdoms hero, he wondered what Transcendent power they would have.

Well, he had forgotten about something.

According to the description of the offerings, heroes summoned by special offerings couldn’t use their Transcendent power before they rose to the Transcendent level.

However, after the heroes were summoned, they could use the Transcendent power of the offerings.

The five offerings that could summon Transcendent heroes were the South King’s Thunder Halberd, North King’s Water Stopping Stone, East King’s Snow Spear, West King’s Long Gold Hammer, and the Yuan Emperor’s Sonic Bow.

“Let’s vote. Which special offering should we choose?”
