Da Qin: Conquer all heavens and all realms

The ten-day period passed in a flash.

During these ten days, both the immortal world and the human world were going crazy for the upcoming "Heavenly Questions Platform" meeting.

In the fairy world, countless immortals and gods from the immortal dynasties, some riding swords, some riding clouds, and some controlling mythical beasts, flocked from all directions to the ancient stone platform suspended in the chaotic void.

The Tianwen Terrace has been silent for thousands of years, but at this moment it is filled with immortal lights and auspicious auras, as if all the stars in the sky are focused on it.

They waited for this unprecedented "farce" with scrutiny, curiosity, contempt, or simply as spectators.

On earth, in every world of the Great Qin, hundreds of millions of people held their breath.

They could not witness the grand spectacle of the fairyland with their own eyes, but they could feel the resolute will emanating from the Xianyang Palace and from their Human Emperor.

Every household was brightly lit, and countless people knelt on the ground to pray, pouring their purest faith and strength into the torrent called "humanity", turning it into the most solid backing behind Ying Zheng.

The Tianwen Terrace is ten thousand miles in radius and is carved from the chaotic divine stone. It is ancient and vast.

The platform is divided into two parts, one is called "Heaven" and the other is called "Tao".

Ying Zheng, clad in a black dragon robe, arrived alone, stepping into the air. He rode no magical instruments, but beneath his feet was the surging flow of human destiny, transforming into a long golden river, supporting him and landing steadily on the stone platform shaped like the word "Tao."

Opposite him, representatives of the immortals in the fairy world had already taken their positions on the stone platform with the word "天" in its shape.

The leader was a middle-aged god wearing a Zhoutian star robe, with a majestic face and stars appearing and disappearing in his eyes.

He is not the Emperor of Heaven, but the "Law Enforcement Immortal Lord" of the Zhoutian Xingdou Divine Court, representing the will of the Emperor of Heaven and the order of the immortal world.

"Mortal Ying Zheng, do you know why this platform was set up?" The voice of the Law Enforcement Immortal was loud and clear, like thunder rolling in the sky, carrying the natural pressure of a superior.

Ying Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze calmly sweeping across the immortals opposite him, finally landing on the Law Enforcement Immortal Venerable. He spoke calmly, "This stage is 'Heaven's Questions', and I am here to 'Answer Heaven'. Who is the questioner? And who is the answerer?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

Heavenly Questions, Heavenly Questions, have always been questions asked by mortals to Heaven, and answers from the gods. Now, Ying Zheng has turned the world upside down and said he is "answering Heaven". His heart is despicable!

"Arrogant!" a golden-armored celestial general shouted angrily, "The Way of Heaven is glorious, and immortals are supreme. How dare you, a mere mortal, answer to Heaven?"

Ying Zheng didn't even look at him, but slowly raised his hand and pointed to the sky.

"What is heaven?"

His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by every living being.

"Is it the stars above your heads? Is it the Pure Qi Law you mentioned?"

He shook his head.

"No."

"Heaven is what all people look to. Heaven is what the hearts of the people aspire to. Heaven is order, it is law, it is the foundation of the operation of this universe!"

"You immortals, you boast of yourselves being detached and high above, viewing mortals like ants and human life as worthless. Do you think that, by perching high above the nine heavens, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, you are 'heaven'?"

"Wrong! Big mistake!"

"You are merely a group of more powerful 'creatures' under this 'sky'! The true 'sky' is the combined will of these billions of living beings! It is the natural law of birth, aging, sickness, and death for all things in this world! I, the Great Qin Shi Huang, represent the 'sky of man' and the principles of 'Tao'!"

Ying Zheng's voice became louder and louder. With every word he spoke, the humanitarian destiny under his feet boiled a little more. The golden river became more and more dazzling, and it even faintly echoed with the light of the stars in the sky.

"My way is not the way to longevity, nor is it the way to freedom and ease!"

"My Way is the Way of 'Great Harmony Under Heaven'! It is the Way of 'Those who till the land have their own fields, and those who live in the house have their own houses'! It is the Way of 'Those who offend my mighty Qin will be punished, no matter how far away they are'! It is the Way of 'Man can conquer nature'!"

"I use 'Law' as the bones to forge the backbone of the empire; 'Confucianism' as the flesh to educate the people's character; 'Mohism' as the craftsmanship to create eternal welfare! My way is rooted in the soil, grows in flesh and blood, and condenses in the hearts of people! This is the way of humanity!"

"You immortals have cut off the inheritance of our human race and treated us as food and resources. This is against the will of Heaven! Today, I will enforce justice on behalf of Heaven and ask you one question—"

"Are you worthy of being called 'Heaven'?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the situation on the Tianwen Platform changed drastically!

Behind Ying Zheng, the torrent of humanity formed by the will of hundreds of millions of Qin people finally broke through some invisible shackles at this moment and turned into a towering, vague and majestic "shadow of the Human Emperor"!

The shadow of the Human Emperor holds a giant sword forged by law, order, and will, pointing it at the immortal god opposite!

The face of the Law Enforcement Immortal Lord changed drastically. He felt an unprecedented power, a power that did not belong to the immortal system at all, but was purer and more domineering than any immortal magic!

This force directly shook his heart!

"Not good! This Human Emperor has actually used the lives of billions of people as fuel to ignite the fire of humanity. He wants to establish 'humanity' as the new guiding principle for all the heavens and worlds!"

……

At the same time, in the core and most secretive Zhoutian Xingdou Divine Court of the fairy world.

In a magnificent palace built of countless star fragments, a figure sat upright.

He wore a nine-dragon imperial robe, his face blurred, as if blending into the vast sea of ​​stars. He was the Lord of the Zhoutian Star Divine Court, revered by all the immortals as the "Emperor of Heaven."

He did not pay attention to the clamor on the Tianwen Platform. His divine consciousness had long transcended time and space and was aware of everything.

When Ying Zheng shouted "Are you worthy of being called 'Heaven'?!", when the "shadow of the Human Emperor" appeared, the eyes of the Emperor of Heaven, which seemed to contain the birth and death of the universe, revealed a trace of solemnity for the first time.

The celestial star map in front of him, representing the stars of the Great Qin world, suddenly burst out with unprecedented light, its brightness even surpassing the life stars of many ancient immortal dynasties.

What shocked him even more was that a brand new breath of "Tao" was being born, condensed, and sublimated on that star.

"Humanity... has achieved enlightenment?"

The Emperor of Heaven muttered to himself, with a slight tremor in his voice that he himself was not aware of.

This is not the rise of an immortal god, nor the birth of a demon.

This is the awakening of a civilization, the enlightenment of a race!

He sensed danger.

A real danger that is enough to shake the order established by the Zhoutian Xingdou Divine Court for billions of years, a real danger that may overturn the entire fairy world.

This emperor from the mortal world was a million times more terrifying than he had expected.

"Propagate my oracle."

"Summoning all the Dao Masters who govern the Great Dao of Origin, such as 'Open Heaven', 'Creation of the World', 'Return to the Ruins', 'Time and Yin', and 'Destiny', to come to my Divine Court to discuss matters."

"Regarding 'human'...we need to redefine it."

The oracle of the Emperor of Heaven is not in the form of sound, but in the form of laws, which are imprinted on the origin of every ancient Taoist sect in the fairy world.

This oracle disregards space, time, and any form of defense, and directly appears in the consciousness of those supreme beings who are sleeping in the long river of time and hiding in the depths of chaos.

As soon as the oracle came out, the entire fairy world trembled slightly.

These names aren't titles of gods, but rather the embodiment of the Great Dao. They are the foundation of the immortal world, the makers of rules, and the true "source of the Dao," transcending the concepts of "Immortal Dynasty" and "Divine Kingdom."
