Da Qin: Conquer all heavens and all realms

When the sword of order appears, heaven and earth lose their color.

It wasn't a flash of sword light, but rather the embodiment of the Dao. On the blade, countless golden ancient seal characters—every single character from the Qin Code—flowed, emerged, and vanished, emanating a cold and absolute will.

Wherever it passes, it does not cut off entities, but directly erases the concepts of "chaos" and "disorder".

The roaring purple-gold divine thunder was the most violent and primal manifestation of Heaven's will, representing the chaotic power of destruction and rebirth. However, when the blade of the Sword of Order touched the sea of ​​thunder, a miracle occurred.

Chi—Chi—Chi—

It's like a red-hot iron dipping into ice and snow, or like the sharpest blade cutting through silk.

The moment the violent lightning snake touched the sword edge, its internal law structure was forcibly analyzed, split, and reorganized.

The will to destruction is defined by "order", and the energy of chaos is bound by "law".

The divine thunders were forcibly "chopped" into the purest, attributeless energy of heaven and earth, and dissipated into the void.

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment, the giant eye that represented the supreme will of the Emperor of Heaven, had its pupils contract violently.

Is this... a crushing defeat at the level of laws? No, it's impossible! How could a newly born 'humanity' possess such a pure and sharp law of 'order'?

In the Emperor of Heaven's perception, the essence of the sword swung by Ying Zheng has surpassed his understanding of the power of "mortals".

This is no longer a simple collision of forces, but a head-on confrontation between two "Tao".

His "Way of Heaven" represents the grand, indifferent, cyclical laws that have existed since the beginning of the universe.

Ying Zheng's "humanity" is a microscopic order constructed by intelligent life under this grand law, full of subjective initiative, and pursuing eternity.

One is the universal axiom of "existence is reasonable", and the other is the life declaration of "my destiny is in my own hands".

At this moment, this declaration directly challenges the axiom!

"Hmph! Even though you have a small skill, you still dare to do the same thing!"

The Emperor of Heaven's cold snort no longer came from the sky above, but seemed to echo from every inch of space and every wisp of wind in the entire Qin world.

There was a hint of offended anger in his voice, and a hint of condescending teasing.

"You take the law as your bones, and think you can rule forever? I will show you what true 'law' is!"

As he finished speaking, the gap in the thundercloud torn by the Sword of Order not only did not expand, but instead quickly closed. But this time, what rained down from it was no longer simply destructive thunder.

Rumbling--

A huge "Skynet" composed of countless Taoist rune chains hung down from the thunderclouds!

Each chain flashes with light of a different color, representing the most fundamental law of heaven.

There is a green wooden chain representing "life". Wherever it passes, all things grow wildly, but then wither in an instant and turn into nutrients, and the cycle repeats itself.

There are black water chain representing "death", which exudes an aura of annihilation and can even swallow up light.

There are white gold chains representing "hardness", which are sharp and indestructible.

There are red fire chains representing "softness", which burn everything but also give birth to life.

There are also silver chains representing "space" that cut through dimensions; amber chains representing "time" that distort time...

This is the "Heavenly Law Net"! It is the Emperor of Heaven who has mobilized the most fundamental laws of the universe to weave an all-encompassing and all-inclusive giant net.

It is not about destruction, but about "assimilation"!

The target of this net is the ancestral dragon formed by the will of the human race!

"Ying Zheng, your 'humanity' is but a vine clinging to the 'Way of Heaven'. I will use this web of ten thousand laws to weave your tiny 'order' back into the torrent of the 'Way of Heaven'!"

With the Skynet looming over their heads, countless chains of laws were entangled, trying to tear the Ancestral Dragon into pieces, and to beat the human will it carried back into its most primitive power of faith, and disperse it back into heaven and earth.

On the Tianwen stage, Ying Zheng's expression was extremely solemn.

He could clearly feel how ancient and powerful the laws contained in that skynet were.

They are the "laws" that constitute this world and the underlying logic of the operation of the universe.

In front of them, one's own humanity is like a program written by a beginner trying to modify an operating system that has been running for billions of years.

Once entangled, his humanity and everything he has fought for will be "formatted" and return to nothingness.

"Is it really... that there's really no chance of winning?" This thought flashed through Ying Zheng's mind for the first time. He could die, his people could die, but the flame of "humanity" must never be extinguished!

At this critical moment, a gentle voice sounded in his heart.

"Master, don't panic. Heaven's way is the essence, and humanity's way is the function. There's more to it than just conflict between the essence and the function."

Ying Zheng was stunned. This voice... was the system!

"shortage!"

"Master, mortals are born trapped by the laws of nature. Birth, old age, sickness and death, joy and sorrow, separation and reunion, all are the laws of nature. But it is precisely because of this that we desire to break free, pursue order, and construct 'humanity'." Huang's voice was full of wisdom.

"Heaven's Way is the world's 'hardware.' It dictates what the world can and cannot do. Humanity, on the other hand, is the world's 'software.' It's the programs we, the 'users,' write within the limits of the hardware!"

"We can't destroy the hardware, but we can write better software, and even... exploit hardware vulnerabilities to achieve functions that the hardware itself never imagined!"

"This Ten Thousand Laws Network is the Heavenly Emperor's 'system directive,' designed to format everything. But Master, you are humanity's 'core administrator!' The Qin Law in your hand is humanity's 'highest authority directive!'"

"Don't fight it, be compatible with it! Call upon it! Harness it!"

Huang's voice was like a thunderclap, splitting the fog in Ying Zheng's heart.

Compatible? Invoke? Control?

He suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at the magical net covering his head.

Life, death, hardness, softness, space, time...

Are these laws really exclusive to the Emperor of Heaven?

Do not!

People are born and die. They can be righteous and upright, or tender and affectionate. They live in space and feel the passage of time.

The Way of Heaven is the macroscopic manifestation of these laws, while the Way of Man is the microscopic application of these laws to intelligent life!

The Emperor of Heaven only saw the "essence" of the law, but ignored the "use" of the law!

He thought that as long as he controlled the "body", he could dominate all "functions". But he was wrong!

Because "use" is the meaning of life and the driving force for the development of civilization!

"I understand!"

Ying Zheng roared to the sky, and an unprecedented light burst out from the body of the Ancestral Dragon.

He no longer tried to use the Sword of Order to cut the chains of law, but did the opposite. The Ancestral Dragon opened his huge mouth and swallowed a green wooden chain that represented "life"!

Seeing this, the Emperor of Heaven sneered disdainfully: "You are courting death! How can a mere mortal body like yours endure the laws of Heaven?"
