Da Qin: Conquer all heavens and all realms

The Great Qin Heavenly Palace, the Central Star Region.

A huge altar, forged from the refined iron of the nine heavenly stars and the principles of the void, is quietly floating in the void.

This is the "Boundary-Breaking Ship" ordered to be built by Ying Zheng, an ultimate creation that can tear through the barriers of the universe and sail to the unknown world.

Meng Tian stood in front of the altar, with millions of heavenly soldiers and generals behind him ready to go. Each of them had an aura as deep as the ocean and a restrained immortal light, and it was obvious that they had honed their own strength to the extreme with the laws and order of the Qin Dynasty.

Ever since Ying Zheng entered the fairyland, these Qin soldiers have entered the fairyland very easily. These are not simple fairies. Combined with the unique laws of Qin, their strength is unfathomable, at least at the level of Daluo Jinxian.

They are the sharpest swords in Ying Zheng's hands, about to pierce the unknown "holy world".

"Your Majesty, the 'Boundary-Breaking Ship' is ready, and millions of heavenly soldiers are ready to go at any time!" Meng Tian's voice was like a bell.

Ying Zheng, wearing a black dragon robe and a crown with twelve tassels on his head, stepped up to the highest point of the altar step by step.

His figure, illuminated by the starlight, appeared extremely tall, as if he were the only center of the universe.

"Okay." He nodded slowly, his gaze sweeping across the awe-filled and enthusiastic faces below. "We're not going here to conquer, but to establish our authority. We're not going here to explore, but to judge!"

"I will let that so-called 'holy realm' know that there is no place that cannot be governed by the laws of my Great Qin! I will let that so-called 'sage' understand that there is no enemy that my Great Qin's heavenly soldiers cannot defeat!"

"Follow me, and go to war!"

"As ordered! Long live the Emperor of Heaven! Long live the Great Qin!"

The roar was like a tsunami, resounding throughout the star field.

Ying Zheng stood at the core of the altar, forming seals with his hands and uttering mysterious syllables.

He no longer relied on any magical powers, but directly used his endless luck!

Ding: Consuming one million Luck Points, constructing the "Boundary Breaking Channel"... Target Coordinates: Holy Realm (Deduction in progress... Error Range: ±0.0001%)

Huang's reminder sounded in Ying Zheng's mind.

One million luck points were insignificant to Ying Zheng, and he didn't even blink.

With the crazy injection of luck value, the "Boundary Breaking Boat" began to emit a brilliant light.

Countless runes on the hull lit up one by one, and finally converged into a rotating colorful light column with a diameter of ten thousand feet, piercing straight into the seemingly empty cosmic void in front.

"Boom--!"

A loud noise like the creation of the universe exploded in everyone's ears.

That void, like a canvas torn apart by an invisible giant hand, revealed a deep, dark crack.

Inside the rift is not a stable passage to another world, but a violent, chaotic storm filled with destructive energy!

This is the inside of the cosmic barrier!

"Forward!" Ying Zheng gave the order without any fear.

The "Boundary-Breaking Boat" turned into a stream of light and rushed into the chaotic storm without hesitation.

The ship's hull began to shake violently, and the outer layer of star iron, eroded by the chaotic energy, made a "sizzling" sound and quickly turned into nothingness.

But the inner layer of the Void Dao shines brightly, forming a tough protective shield that resists the erosion from the outside world.

Millions of heavenly soldiers were as steady as a rock in the cabin. The armor on their bodies was connected to the laws of the Great Qin, forming an indestructible overall order field. No matter how fierce the storm outside was, it could not shake them in the slightest.

Ying Zheng stood at the bow of the ship, quietly looking at the scene outside the barrier through the protective shield.

When he saw this, he was completely dumbfounded.

Here, there are no stars, no world, nothing that he knows.

There was only an endless chaos as thick as ink.

In this chaos, there are floating... countless "eggs"!

Yes, eggs.

Each "egg" is of different sizes, some are as small as the stars in the mortal world, and some are as big as the entire universe where he lives.

The eggshells of these "eggs" emit a variety of different laws of light, some are as hot as fire, some are icy cold, some are full of vitality, and some are dead silent.

Each "egg" is an independent and complete universe!

And he, Ying Zheng, had done everything before - unified the heavens, judged gods and Buddhas, established the underworld, and thought he was the king of the world - now it seems that he was just breaking the eggshell of the "egg" he was in and coming to a huge warehouse where countless "eggs" were stored!

The achievements he was proud of before seemed so small and ridiculous at this moment.

"This... this is the truth of the heavens and all worlds?" Ying Zheng murmured to himself, with a huge wave in his heart.

He had always believed that the universe he was in was everything. He conquered world after world, thinking he was unifying the universe.

Now I understand that he was just walking from one room to another in his own "egg".

The real "Myriad Heavens and Worlds" is a collection of countless cosmic "eggs" in this chaos!

"Where is the Holy Realm?" Ying Zheng forced himself to calm down and immersed his mind in the system.

Ding: ...High-dimensional energy reaction detected. Target locked: an exceptionally large 'cosmic egg' located in the core of chaos. The power of its laws is over ten times that of your Majesty's universe.

Ying Zheng looked in the direction indicated by the system.

At the deepest part of the chaos, he saw a huge "egg" that could not be described in words.

That "egg" was ten thousand times larger than any universe he had ever seen. Its eggshell was not a single ray of light, but was interwoven with countless extremely brilliant laws, forming a series of mysterious runes, as if telling the oldest secrets of the universe.

Just by taking a look at it, Ying Zheng felt a sense of oppression from the depths of his soul, as if the "egg" itself was a living supreme being with supreme will.

"Is that... the universe where the Holy Realm is located?" Ying Zheng took a deep breath, his fighting spirit growing even stronger.

"Full speed ahead! Target, that 'egg'!"

The "Boundary-Breaking Boat" received the order and burst out with unprecedented light, drawing a long trajectory in the chaos and rushing towards the ultimate goal.

An unknown amount of time passed, perhaps ten years, perhaps ten thousand years, but in this chaos where there was no concept of time, they finally arrived at their destination.

The "Boundary-Breaking Boat" was activated again, and ten million points of luck were ignited again, forcibly tearing a tiny gap in the barrier that was ten times stronger than the universe he was in.

In a flash of light, the boat rushed into it.

When Ying Zheng opened his eyes again, what he saw was a scene that made him dumbfounded again.

Here, there is no chaos, no storm.

Here is a... an extremely vast, magnificent space composed of countless crystals!

The sky is a crystal clear dome with a brilliant river of stars flowing above it.

The earth is a jade-like surface as warm and smooth as jade, on which grow all kinds of exotic flowers and plants emitting holy light.

In the distance, mountains made of pure energy rise and fall, and on the top of the mountains, magnificent golden temples float.

The air is filled with a sacred aura that is so rich that it is tangible, which makes people feel peaceful and their souls seem to be sublimated.

Is this the holy realm?

No, that's not right!

Ying Zheng suddenly looked up and saw that at the top of this world, at the end of the horizon, stood a...tower!

A giant tower soaring into the clouds that you can’t see the top!

That tower was 90% similar to the projection of the Tower of Eternity in his universe! But whether it was the size, material, or the ancient, vast, and eternal aura it exuded, it was countless times more powerful!

His Tower of Eternity is like a sharp sword.

And the tower in front of us is like a... giant pillar supporting the entire world!

"Welcome to the Holy Realm, Your Majesty the Emperor of Heaven."

A gentle yet majestic voice sounded in Ying Zheng's ears.

He turned and saw a middle-aged man in Taoist robes with a dignified face, smiling at him not far away. This man had an unfathomable aura, as if he had merged with the entire Holy Realm.

"It's you, you are the Lord of the Holy Realm?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Indeed." The Lord of the Holy Realm nodded slightly, a hint of admiration in his eyes. "Your Majesty, with the resources of a tiny corner of the universe, was able to break through the chaos and reach this place. You are truly a genius unprecedented in history. My Holy Realm welcomes you."

"Stop the nonsense," Ying Zheng said straight to the point, pointing to the massive tower overhead. "Is that your Tower of Eternity? What's the connection between it and the projection in my universe?"

Upon hearing this, the smile on the Lord of the Holy Realm's face turned somewhat bitter.

He shook his head and sighed, "Your Majesty, you asked a question that even we don't know the answer to."

"Oh?" Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"This tower is called the 'Tower of Eternity.'" The Lord of the Holy Realm looked up at the giant tower with a complicated expression. "It was not built by saints like us, nor was it created by our Holy Realm."

"It's been here since the beginning."

"Since the birth of my Holy Realm, for countless recorded eons, this tower has stood here. It is the source of our Saints' power and tradition, and the cornerstone of our entire Holy Realm's existence. We Saints all comprehend the laws and inherit from this tower."

"But we don't know where it came from or why it exists. It's like a 'miracle' that existed before everything else."

"Until recently, we sensed that within the chaos, a faint 'mirror image' had been illuminated. That was Your Majesty's universe. We originally thought it was a natural projection of the Tower of Eternity, but we never imagined that within that projection, someone like you... someone who doesn't play by the rules."

Ying Zheng was silent.

He looked at the Lord of the Holy Realm. There was no pretense in the other's eyes, only deep confusion and awe.

Was there a huge misunderstanding?

The Lord of the Holy Realm also doesn't know the origin of the Tower of Eternity? Does it exist on its own?

This...what kind of answer is this?

A secret that was even greater and more incomprehensible than "the Holy Realm is Supreme" lay before him.

He lives in a tower, a giant tower called "Tower of Aion".

And his universe is nothing more than an insignificant "mirror" or "projection" in this giant tower?

So what is outside this tower?

Where is the person who built the tower?

Ying Zheng once again felt that his previous feat of unifying the heavens and judging the gods and Buddhas was like a child defeating all the ants in his own yard, and then complacently announcing that he ruled the entire world.

And now, he finally walked out of the yard and saw the boundless forest outside called "Eternity".

But in Ying Zheng's eyes, an unprecedented fire burned. Since there is a tower, there must be someone who built it. Since there is someone who built it, there is the possibility of surpassing it!

I am unwilling to be a caged bird in a tower forever!
