Da Qin: Conquer all heavens and all realms

Inside the Star Palace, Ying Zheng's gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing through the void and pointing directly at the ethereal fairyland.

The star map in front of him, the brilliant beam of light that gathered the will of humanity, was slowly extending as his thoughts turned, like a giant spear that created the world, and the tip of the spear was pointing at the invisible barrier between the fairy world and the Qin world.

"Lee Si."

"I am here," Li Si bowed. The bamboo slips in his hands recorded all the recent developments of the empire, from people's livelihood to military preparations, leaving nothing out. He could already read the hint of impending storm in the emperor's tone.

"Pass on my order," Ying Zheng's voice was calm, yet filled with unquestionable majesty. "In three days, I will personally visit the 'Immortal Realm'."

"The fairyland?!" The bamboo slips in Li Si's hand fell to the ground with a "pop", and his face was full of horror.

Your Majesty's move is tantamount to... declaring war!

"Your Majesty, absolutely not!" Li Si hurriedly advised, "The Immortal Realm has a deep foundation. Although we are superior to Zhu Jiuyin, they are filled with experts. How can we act rashly? Your Majesty's life is worth millions. If you were to go into danger, if you were to fail, the empire would be in chaos!"

"If I don't go, they'll think the Qin still fears them." Ying Zheng slowly turned, his gaze settling on Li Si. "They're used to being high and mighty, used to the worship and offerings of mortals. They think a minor setback is nothing more than a mischievous child's prank. I must wake them up completely."

He paused, his voice tinged with a hint of cold murderous intent. "Don't they enjoy toying with people's hearts and polluting the laws? In my mortal form, I, bearing the laws and will of the Great Qin, will stand before their door and call them to account!"

"Asking...asking for the crime?" Li Si felt a chill run from his feet to his head. A mortal emperor questioning the crimes of a god? This was an unprecedented outrage!

"Indeed." Ying Zheng nodded and immediately gave the order, "Bai Qi, command your 'Prison Suppression' troops to prepare for departure. In three days, accompany me to the Immortal Realm. Remember, your mission is not to attack, but to establish. Behind me, raise the flag of the Great Qin army and establish my majesty!"

"I obey your command!" Bai Qi's voice echoed from outside the palace, deep as a mountain, tinged with a hint of bloodthirsty excitement. For this killer god, nothing was more satisfying than showing off his might before the gods.

"Zhuge Liang." Ying Zheng summoned again.

"I'm here." Zhuge Liang held a feather fan in his hand, looking calm and composed, as if he had already anticipated the decision of His Majesty.

"How is your network of humanitarian laws being constructed?"

"Your Majesty, the core framework has been completed, covering the mainland of Great Qin and the abandoned continent. But if we want to extend it to the barrier of the fairyland, it will take time with my strength, and the energy consumption is huge, so it may not last long." Zhuge Liang reported truthfully.

"That's all right." Ying Zheng's eyes gleamed. "I don't need you to cover the entire Immortal Realm. I just need you to open up a 'path' for me in the Immortal Realm. A path that will allow the voice of the Great Qin to reach their ears clearly and unmistakably."

Zhuge Liang's pupils shrank, and he instantly understood His Majesty's intention. This wasn't a simple projection of energy; it was an attempt to forcibly create a "one-way communication" channel within the realm of the immortal world, using the laws of humanity! This was no less difficult than carving a picture of the mountains and rivers on a solid wall with an embroidery needle!

"I... obey your command!" Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and bowed. He knew this was another unprecedented and unlikely gamble.

Three days later, the entire Qin Empire was shaken.

At the instruction of Ying Zheng, Li Si used the light and shadow stone to announce to the world the news that "the Emperor of Man personally visited the fairyland to punish the immortals and gods."

When the news came out, the whole world was in an uproar.

The people were shocked at first, then erupted in unprecedented enthusiasm. In their hearts, His Majesty was no longer just a mortal emperor, but a human emperor who dared to challenge the gods!

Your Majesty is going to the gate of the fairyland in person to ask for an explanation. What courage and honor it is!

For a moment, countless people of the Qin Dynasty spontaneously knelt in the direction of Xianyang, shouting "Long live the Human Emperor".

At this moment, their faith was elevated from blind worship to a proud and firm following.

Their Human Emperor is launching the most direct challenge on their behalf to the "immortals" who once enslaved them!

All over the empire, soldiers of the new army wiped their weapons, the fire of war burning in their eyes.

The elite soldiers of the Prison Guard are as fierce as wolves and tigers, eager to follow His Majesty and demonstrate the military might of the Qin Dynasty before the gods.

And in the distant abandoned continent, all the powerful people who learned about this were stunned and then shocked.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty is crazy!" An old man muttered to himself, his eyes full of disbelief.

"No, he's not crazy." Another old man shook his head, his eyes complicated. "He's telling everyone that from now on, the order between immortals and mortals will be redefined by him. This is no longer a war, this is... a revolution!"

In a chaotic void.

The space rippled like water waves, and a huge space door slowly opened.

Behind the door were the iron cavalry in uniform, solemn and murderous formation.

Bai Qi took the lead, holding an ordinary Qin-made long spear, but the tip of the spear was lingering with a murderous aura that made the heaven and earth tremble.

Behind him stood three thousand heavily armored Prison Suppression Army soldiers. Without unleashing any power, they simply stood there, like three thousand demonic mountains suppressing the eons.

Immediately afterwards, Ying Zheng's figure appeared in the center of the space gate.

He was not wearing a dragon robe, but a dark suit, looking heroic and capable.

There was no expression on his face as he calmly took a step forward and stepped into the chaotic void.

Behind him, Zhuge Liang held a feather fan in his hand, light flashing at his fingertips. An invisible network composed of countless runes instantly spread out in all directions with him as the center, forcibly stabilizing the space in this area shrouded by the rules of the fairyland and constructing a huge "sound field".

Ying Zheng moved forward step by step, followed closely by Bai Qi and the three thousand prison soldiers. Like a black steel torrent, they advanced silently and firmly towards the legendary insurmountable Nantianmen.

Finally, they stopped.

In front of them was a huge portal that stretched across the void.

The portal was carved from white jade, adorned with auspicious dragons and phoenixes, soaring cranes, and countless shimmering runes, exuding an ancient and majestic aura. That was the Heavenly Gate, the face of the immortal world.

At this moment, the gate of heaven was tightly closed. Behind the gate, it seemed as if countless pairs of eyes were looking through the door, coldly examining this group of daring "mortals".

Ying Zheng stopped, looked up, and gazed calmly at the huge gate that was more magnificent than a mountain.

He didn't roar or roar.

However, he slowly raised his right hand, and pointed his finger like a sword towards the Heavenly Gate.

Then, a voice, like the thunder of the Nine Heavens, passed through the network of humane laws constructed by Zhuge Liang, carrying an unquestionable will. It clearly entered the Heavenly Gate and spread to every corner of the Immortal Realm:

"The Great Qin Emperor, Ying Zheng, is here to question you, the immortals and gods, about your three sins!"

"First, he occupies a high position, fails to perform his duties, enjoys the incense of the people, does not benefit them, and instead treats all living beings as straw dogs. This is the crime of 'malfeasance'!"

"Secondly, colluding with outsiders, polluting the laws, corrupting fellow believers, and attempting to destroy the foundation of our human civilization. This is 'the crime of heresy'!"

"Third, you claim to be sacred, arrogant, and use divine authority to suppress imperial power, deceiving people with the will of heaven, and blocking the path of self-reliance for our human race. This is the 'sin of arrogance'!"

"These three crimes are too numerous to list!"

"Today, I, in the name of the Human Emperor, speak on behalf of all the people!"

"You... dare to answer for your crime?!"

As the voice fell, the entire chaotic void fell into deathly silence.

On the Heavenly Gate, the shimmering runes flickered, as if trembling violently.

For the first time, those cold eyes behind the door showed astonishment, anger, and a hint of fear that they themselves had not even noticed.

A mortal, an emperor of a newly rising empire, stood at the doorstep of the fairyland with his army and read out their "crimes" in the most direct and domineering way.

This is no longer a provocation.

This is... a formal declaration of war by one civilization against another!
