Chapter 3: Parallel Worlds

"I'm back. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" opened the door and shouted to the empty room, and Xia Ye walked in and closed the door casually. In front of you is a slender walkway that leads to the bedroom in front, while there are two cubicles on the left and two cubicles on the right, a washroom on the left and a kitchen on the right.

Back in his room, the first thing he did on a summer night was to go into the kitchen. The kitchen was empty, and it was clear that the owner had no intention of using it, but in the corner of the kitchen stood a strange refrigerator. It was a normal refrigerator in motion, but the outer shell of the refrigerator was covered in charms with strange patterns.

"I'm back, Snowy Night. Walking into the kitchen, Xia Ye walked straight to the refrigerator, stroking the refrigerator, his eyes were soft as if he was not a cold refrigerator in front of him, but a very important relative and friend.

Indeed, the refrigerator contains the most important thing left by one of the most important relatives and friends on a summer night, the only thing left behind by relatives and friends who have died to protect themselves. That accident caused Xia Ye to give up his identity as an onmyoji, and at this time, the only thing in this room that had anything to do with onmyoji was the one in the refrigerator.

After a slight silence in front of the refrigerator for a while, Summer Night regained her spirits, and the shadow of the snow-white girl that appeared in her mind gradually faded away, and finally took a second look at the strange refrigerator, and Summer Night walked out of the kitchen.

Back in his bedroom, Summer Night sat down on the only chair in the bedroom and clicked the power button on the laptop on the table.

At noon, after eating barbecue with Nozomi Tojo, the two went to Nozomi Tojo's hometown together. Although they ran around with their parents because of their work, their original house was not sold and kept in the accommodation area not far from the Kanda Myojin Shrine.

After that, the two chatted with each other for a long time, after all, they had been separated for several years, their respective experiences, interesting things encountered, etc., and all kinds of topics could not be finished. Of course, while chatting, the two of them were also cleaning Nozomi Tojo's hometown, and they hadn't lived in it for a long time.

In the afternoon, after cleaning and roughly sorting out the salutes delivered by the moving company, the work of the two was over. At that time, it was also close to dinner time, and Nozomi Tojo, who had finally started living alone, was in a good mood to invite Natsuya to taste her handiwork, although it was just a bowl of udon. If I'm not mistaken, it seems that Nozomi Tojo only makes udon.

However, even though it's just a bowl of udon, it's delicious. After eating and drinking, it was getting late and he came back alone on a summer night. When the corners of the summer night were smiling and recalling the reunion with Nozomi Tojo, the laptop on the table was finally activated.

Recovering from the air, Summer Night looked at the screen of her laptop, which was the background of an animated character in this world, the character she loved before Summer Night regained her memories of her past life. However, after recovering his memory, although he still likes this character, he is no longer as obsessed with it as before.

Skillfully manipulate the mouse to open the browser, and the summer night began to search for the information he needed on the Internet. Through the memories of the previous sixteen years, Xia Ye already felt that this world was probably a different world from the world before her, not the past or the future, but a slightly different world.

As Summer Night began to dig deeper into the world based on the memories he had, his suspicions were confirmed. Sure enough, this world is a parallel world.

According to the information found in the summer night, this world was the same as the original world before the Tang Dynasty. There are also the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Three Kingdoms Struggle for Hegemony, and of course, the Jin and Wei dynasties and the Sui and Tang dynasties.

However, history took a huge turn during the reign of Tang King Li Shimin, and Tang Taizong, who had failed in three expeditions to Goryeo, actually succeeded in conquering Goguryeo in this world, and then the army attacked directly and quickly recovered Silla and Baekje. After that, he even directly subdued the Japanese country, Xiong Raid and other island countries.

After completing the subjugation of Goguryeo, Tang Taizong did not stop his sword soldiers, but began to continue to expand. All the original subject countries were subdued and integrated into the Tang Kingdom, and then Tufan, Nanzhao, and Dashi passed one by one. Before the death of Tang Taizong, the unification of the whole of Asia was finally completed.

Not long after the death of Tang Taizong, Queen Wu Zetian ascended the throne and became the first female emperor in history. And she is also a very iron-blooded and tough female emperor, in the early stage of Wu Zetian's succession, the small countries on the border of the Tang State that were subdued were ready to move, and in the face of the chaos that gradually arose on all sides, Wu Zetian directly issued a massacre order.

So, with the splash of blood, after walking this bloody road of suppression, Empress Wu Zetian successfully sat on the throne. After that, the Tang Kingdom became more and more prosperous under the governance of the queen, and it faintly had the momentum of the world's first power.

After the queen, the third emperor of the Tang State ascended the throne, and this emperor was called the Artisan Emperor by later generations, which was not a contemptuous title, but an honorific title. The heir personally chosen by the queen was not her own biological heir, and for the continuation of the Tang Kingdom, the queen directly made her heir an idle prince, paving the way for the craftsman emperor.

The artisan emperor did not live up to the queen's expectations, and soon launched the first industrial reform in history. Of course, there were various setbacks in the early stage of reform, but with the unremitting efforts and support of the Craftsman Emperor, the scientific and technological level of the Tang Kingdom developed rapidly. The shipbuilding industry is even more outstanding.

The development of the shipbuilding industry gradually expanded the desire for the expansion of the empire, so the fleet went to sea under the leadership of a eunuch named Zheng He. After that, there were seven expeditions back and forth, and with Zheng He's exploration, the complete landscape of this world was gradually displayed in front of the Tang Kingdom.

Facing the territory outside of Asia, in addition to the European side, there is this huge continent on the other side of the sea, and in the face of the newly discovered continent, the Tang State stretched out its fangs that he had been hungry and thirsty for many years. And so the war broke out. In the face of the war provoked by the Tang State, several other continents were completely passive in the early stages of the war.

Even in the later stage, it alone could not fight against the already very powerful Tang State. Later, the Euro-African Union was established in Europe and Africa, the American Alliance was established in South and North America, and the peoples of the Australian grasslands below Asia also formed Australian tribes.

The European-African Union, the American Alliance, and the Australian tribes united with each other to resist the Tang Army's troops, and this battle was hundreds of years. In the war, science and technology are also developing rapidly, hot weapons are replacing cold weapons, automobiles, and trains are gradually replacing horse-drawn carriages and ox carts. Humans have even invented airplanes that take to the skies and missiles that attack them from a distance.

With the advent of the era of thermal weapons, the damage to personnel began to increase dramatically, and no matter which country of the four powers could bear the rapid consumption of the population, when the high-powered nuclear missile was developed and test-fired caused a huge terrorist power, the four forces that were deeply frightened finally sat down at the negotiating table. 'friendly' peace talks took place.
