t Was like awaking after a long sleep. Qin somehow knew this time the intervention had not taken a few seconds, but a longer period. He guessed it was about three weeks, but he couldnt know for sure.
He immediately ordered a new settlement should be built on the ruins of Delhi. It was a fertile region, and the Persians would be glad when Qin would gift them the city.
And the south was captured too. All the villagers were sold as slaves and the area was completely depopulated.
Meanwhile, the General was finishing his work of subduing the barbarian hordes. Their last stronghold, Sapporo, could not possibly resist the pure force of his elite troops. Honshu would be Chinese forever.
The land also contained an outpost of Jwitti.
In central India, Imperial troops were having issues with rogue elephants coming out of nowhere. Some people claimed they were hiding, but a cunning colonel pointed out that it is a little hard to hide an elephant. Their appearance is still a mystery.
China had joined the war against Babylon and its decadent king. Hammurabi realised he could not defeat the forces of both China and Persia, and agreed to become a satrapy of Persia after the conquest of his capital. Access was denied to the Imperial troops, so mapping of the west would have to be done in another way.
The brave charioteers followed the divine road which led to unknown lands. But after a few years of travelling, they were forced to leave it, as they could not possible pass the high mountains it led through.
And in the forest next to the road, they met explorers of another civilization! The Mayans were incredibly advanced, but fortunately too far away from Beijing to cause harm.
And they were not the only new player on the globe. From the south the Arabians came. As an enemy of Persia, they would soon be invaded, but Qin ordered the hostilities should not be started yet.
After maps were exchanged, Qin found out why the Mayan civilization was so thriving : their homeland was so plenty of food and gold, it was incredible! Of course, his homeland wasnt worth to complain over either.
It turned out the Mayans had discovered many of the Divine forts of Jwitti. Qin was pleased.
Some of the Indians who were still left were willing to part with their knowledge of Metal Casting
for a price. Qin paid them, as knowledge is power.
The first glance on the Arabian lands. Their technology is advanced, but their numbers are underwhelming. Arabia would soon burn!
Some of the elephants settled down in Thailand and formed a civilization. Their jungle-infested land wasnt worth envying, so their peace proposal was agreed with.
In Hsung Nu, a minor earthquake took place. All of the population evacuated, but an unfinished building project partially collapsed, and one of its towers leaned towards one side. This inspired great people all over the city.
Joe Matise, also known as The Red Spy, was one of the main organisators of the espionage against the Khmer empire. He was honoured by giving him a sleeping potion which also rendered him invincible against aging.
The Arabians joined the Christian flock. Christianity was a Mayan religion. Qin wondered how in Gods sake (pun intended) the Arabians learned about its ways. And he knew something was wrong with that religion. Another one would have been more fitting for the Arabians, but he didnt know which one
Finally, after 3700 years (according to the Imperial calendar), the Imperial calendar was invented. This allowed more organized harvest of the many agricultural riches China possessed. It also allowed Chinese workers to cut jungles with bananas in, although jungle without banana trees could still not be cut. Another one of the many mysteries of Earth.
China was at war again. Another vile civilization had to be wiped from the face of Earth! Surely they would prevail again
Unless the gods would help Arabia.
Qin suddenly remembered the world was round. In heaven, he knew it, but this information he somehow forgot when he descended to Earth. However, it werent his scholars who discovered this, but sailors of a distant civilization.
Qin had a dream. He saw the Earth, in all its greatness and roundness, and it started spinning. And spinning faster, and faster
until he couldnt see its surface anymore. But after it had slowed down again, it was somehow different. Something had changed.
The intervention of the gods.
