Da Qin: Conquer all heavens and all realms

Bai Qi led the charge, transformed into a streak of light, and rushed into the light shield.

The heavenly soldiers followed closely behind, and as they advanced, they continuously hammered the Prison-Suppressing Divine Stele into the void, like driving a series of stabilizing needles into the vast ocean.

This is an extremely difficult process.

The chaotic turbulence hit the light shield all the time. Every impact caused dozens or hundreds of heavenly soldiers to spit blood and their magic power was exhausted.

But none of them retreated, because they knew that they were creating an unprecedented great cause for His Majesty and the Great Qin!

Behind them were countless craftsmen and scholars led by Li Si.

The leader of the Mohist school led the mechanical engineers and operated the huge "void rock drill" made of divine gold. They dug out channels in the stabilized void and constructed the outline of Fengdu City.

Taoist formation masters set up spirit gathering formations and foundation-solidifying formations, injecting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth guided from the Qingtian world into this new space, allowing it to gradually have the possibility of nurturing all things.

Confucian ritual officials designed the style of every palace and the inscriptions on every archway in Fengdu City according to Li Si's plan.

They want to integrate the spirit of "ritual" and "law" into every corner of this underworld.

This place had become a vast construction site bustling with activity. The roar of the heavenly soldiers, the hum of the machinery, and the hum of the formations intertwined into a magnificent symphony of creation.

……

At the same time, in the Yin-Yang family’s holy place, the Observatory.

Zou Yan, a man known for his ability to observe the stars and divine the mysteries of the heavens, sat with his eyes closed in the center of the observatory. Before him hovered a vast curtain of light, condensed from the power of the stars.

On the light curtain, countless tiny specks of light, as fine as dust, were appearing and disappearing. Each speck of light represented the soul of a living being.

"I did evil in my previous life, but I do good in this life... I do good in this life, but my descendants will suffer disaster... I have great evil in my heart, but I have never done anything evil..." Zou Yan muttered to himself, constantly deducing.

His spiritual consciousness seemed to have transformed into thousands of clones, following those light spots, tracing their past, observing their present, and predicting their future.

This is an unimaginably vast task.

There are countless living beings in the universe, and the cause and effect of each living being is like an intricate web, in which a single move can affect the entire body.

But Zou Yan did not back down. He poured all his life's learning into it.

He wants to use the theories of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements and the art of divination to establish the most fair and rigorous mathematical model for Ying Zheng's reincarnation!

What he wants to compile is not only a "Book of Life and Death", but also a "Compendium of the Relationship between the Behavior and Destiny of All Living Things in the Heavens and Myriad Worlds"!

Gradually, the light spots on the light curtain began to be divided into different colors according to a certain pattern: white representing "good", black representing "evil", and gray in between.

Zou Yan's forehead was covered in beads of sweat, and his face was as pale as paper. This level of deduction was extremely draining on his mind and spirit. But his eyes gleamed with a fanatical glint.

"Your Majesty... your subordinates... are weaving for you... a web of cause and effect... covering the entire heavens!"

……

The world of blue sky, the star palace of Xianyang.

Ying Zheng stood quietly in front of a huge map.

This map does not depict the geography of mountains and rivers, but is a "design map of Fengdu City" drawn by Li Si and others.

In the picture, a city so magnificent that it is breathtaking appears on the paper.

Fengdu City is ten thousand feet high and is built of "Nine Nether Mysterious Stone". Countless patterns of judging ghosts and gods are carved on the city walls, exuding a chilling majesty.

The city gate, named "Ghost Gate", is guarded by two ghost generals, Ox-Head and Horse-Faced.

After entering the city, there is the "Yellow Spring Road", with blood-red red spider lilies blooming on both sides of the road. The fragrance of the flowers can evoke all the memories of the soul in its previous life.

At the end of the Yellow Springs Road is the "Forgetful River", on which there is a "Naihe Bridge". Beside the bridge there is a "Meng Po" who offers Meng Po soup to the passing souls so that they can forget their past.

After crossing the Naihe Bridge, you will reach the center of Fengdu City - the Hall of Yama.

The first hall, King Qin Guang, is in charge of life and death in the human world, and governs the good and bad fortune in the underworld.

The second hall, King Chujiang, is in charge of the Great Hell of Living Beings, namely the Hell of Ice.

The third hall, Emperor Song, is in charge of the Black Rope Hell.

The fourth hall, the King of Five Senses, is in charge of the Great Hell, namely the Blood Pond Hell.

The fifth palace, King Yama, is in charge of the great hell.

The Sixth Palace, King Biancheng, is in charge of the City of Wrongful Death.

The seventh palace, the King of Mount Tai, is in charge of the hell of heat and suffering, namely the hell of grinding meat into paste.

The eighth palace, the City King, is responsible for annoying the hell of the pot.

The ninth palace, the King of Equality, is in charge of the Avici Hell, the deepest part of hell.

The Tenth Hall, the Chakravartin, is responsible for sending ghosts from various halls, distinguishing between good and evil, determining their levels, and sending them to the four continents for rebirth.

After the Ten Palaces, there is the final destination - the Wheel of Reincarnation.

The heavenly way, the human way, the asura way, the animal way, the hungry ghost way, and the hell way.

Souls are thrown into different reincarnations and begin a new life based on the results of their trials in the Ten Courts of Justice.

This is a complete, closed-loop, and logically rigorous life and death trial system.

Ying Zheng's gaze slowly swept across the map and finally landed on the fifth palace, the Yama Palace.

There was an unprecedented light shining in his eyes.

He knew that once the city of Fengdu was built and the reincarnation system was operational, the foundation of his Great Qin Heavenly Court would be completely solid.

From now on, life and death, good and evil, merit and demerit will all be decided by him alone!

He, Ying Zheng, will no longer be just the emperor on earth, but also the monarch of heaven.

He will become the true Lord of the Underworld and the Emperor of Reincarnation in all the heavens and worlds!

……

And at this moment, far away in the Western Pure Land of Bliss, on top of Lingshan Mountain.

Shakyamuni Buddha finally slowly opened his eyes.

In his Buddha eyes that see through the past, present and future, the dark void that is being excavated under the blue sky is reflected.

"Well done, well done," the Buddha said softly, his voice unrecognizable, "This First Emperor actually wants to...re-establish the underworld and recreate the cycle of reincarnation. Such boldness, such courage, is truly...unprecedented."

"World-honored One," Manjushri Bodhisattva stepped forward and asked respectfully, "How should we respond?"

The Buddha was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Let's wait and see. His journey has only just begun. This underworld of reincarnation may seem overbearing, but it's actually extremely dangerous. He aims to control the cause and effect of the entire universe, and the karmic force within it is enough to crush any existence."

"I am happy with it."

A voice, as if it had crossed endless time and space, rang out directly above the sacred mountain.

Ying Zheng's figure appeared in front of the Buddha out of thin air, still wearing the black dragon robe, with a hint of teasing and challenge in his eyes.

"Today, I am standing in the underworld and in charge of reincarnation. This is to tell all the gods, Buddhas, immortals and demons in the heavens and myriad worlds."

"From now on, the rules of this world are determined by me! The lives of all living beings are controlled by me! The retribution of cause and effect is judged by me! If you are dissatisfied... come and test my laws and my reincarnation to see if they work!"
