Qi Zhengming had been secretly guiding Huo Yunshen towards the path of leading people, and JS was proof that he was a great leader.
The mercenary group had grown into an international organization and was recognized by a lot of countries.
Qi Zhengming believed that the Dragon Kingdom would definitely rise again under him.
Huo Yunshen remained silent as he was trying to cope with the new information.
He was a little kid that grew up in a wealthy family, but now his master was telling him that he had another identity.
He was the heir to a kingdom’s throne, and he found it hard to believe.
“My liege, I know you will need time to accept this, but everything I have said is the truth,” Qi Zhengming said. “You are the next Dragon Kingdom’s emperor, heir to Long Rui. It’s all up to you now if you can gather all of our people that are scattered throughout the world and revive the fallen kingdom.”
“Uncle Ming, even if you did not tell me these things, taking down Lstan is still my responsibility,” Huo Yunshen said as he helped Qi Zhengming up. “Taking down Lstan is one thing, but reviving the Dragon Kingdom is another. We have to take care of the ice that’s covering the whole country first.”
Huo Yunshen suddenly felt that a huge responsibility was on his shoulders and it was pushing him down.
He wondered if he could revive the kingdom with just him and Qi Zhengming.
“I’ve already thought of that,” Qi Zhengming said. “Did you know that the Dragon Kingdom used to be an energy superpower? And that we had very advanced technology? Our previous emperor was worried that something like this would happen and he perfected a self-protecting system.”
“Go on.”
“Once the system goes online, the whole country will be frozen to prevent any enemies from taking our land. The country is basically an enormous freezer right now, and the only way to revive the country is to melt the ice.”
“And how are we supposed to do that?”
“You must’ve heard that the Dragon Kingdom has the best technology in geothermal energy in the world, right?”
“Yes.”
“The self-defense system has one of the geothermal energies built into it. Once the technology goes online, the ice will start to melt.”
“And how do we start it up?”
“Follow me.”
Qi Zhengming took Huo Yunshen to the kingdom’s central control hub.
Qi Zhengming turned on the power and lit up the hub. In it were machines and computers that began to run.
Qi Zhengming pointed at the control panel and said, “The geothermal energy system is locked since the self-protect system is online so that people from the outside cannot use it. I’ve tried a lot of times, but I still can’t unlock it. Why don’t you try it?”
Huo Yunshen sat down in front of the control panel and began to study it.
He realized that even after two dozens years had passed, the Dragon Kingdom’s technology was still much more advanced.
With his knowledge and expertise, Huo Yunshen began to attempt to unlock the geothermal energy system.
