Da Qin: Conquer all heavens and all realms

Wanbao Star Region is a mysterious star region tens of thousands of light years away.

Here, there are no bright stars, no flowing galaxies, only fragments of huge continents suspended in the void.

Each fragment of the continent exudes an aura of antiquity, vastness, and supremacy. Some shimmer with golden light, some emanate from the eastward, and some are filled with chaos. Each one represents a Class A civilization that has reached its peak.

This is the Class A Parliament.

A supreme organization that is above all worlds and is composed of the twelve top-notch Class-A civilizations in all the heavens and worlds.

They hold the power to create and destroy the world, and their will is the will of the heavens.

They rarely intervene directly in the affairs of the lower world, because to them, the rise and fall of Class B and Class C civilizations is like a mortal watching ants moving in the yard; it is meaningless.

However, today, this Class A Council, which had been silent for who knows how many years, was stirred up by a piece of news from the Wanbao Star Region.

In a meeting hall constructed by the power of pure laws, twelve figures, some sitting and some standing, are in different shapes and forms.

Some transformed into giants ten thousand feet tall, with an aura as deep as the abyss and as hellish as hell; some were just a wisp of green smoke, floating and uncertain, but containing a heart-pounding Taoist rhyme; and some were even just a beating heart, and every beat made the surrounding space and time tremble.

They are the representatives of the twelve Class A civilizations and the true controllers of the heavens and all worlds.

"Wanbao Tower has been destroyed." A deep, commanding voice echoed from the ten-thousand-foot giant. He was the patriarch of the Titans, achieving enlightenment through his physical form and known as the foremost defense force in the universe. "The mark of the Black Prison Master's soul has completely dissipated. The perpetrators were a strange civilization calling themselves 'Daqin,' whose leader was named 'Ying Zheng.'"

"The Black Prison Venerable? That old creature who loves to toy with souls? He's dead, so what's the big deal?" a frivolous female voice emanated from the wisp of smoke. She was the queen of the Phantom Sky Demons, feeding on emotions and desires, using treacherous methods. "Just a clown from a Class B civilization, Brother Titan. You're not going to bring such a trivial matter to the council, are you?"

The ten-thousand-foot giant—the Titan Chieftain—slowly shook his head. "You're wrong, witch. The one who killed the Black Prison Master wasn't some Class B civilization. According to the final information transmitted back by our 'Eye of Dao' planted in the Wanbao Star Region, the Black Prison Master was killed by the enemy leader with a single finger."

"what?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire meeting hall fell silent in an instant.

The wisp of green smoke and the Queen's figure fluctuated violently, and it was obvious that she had also suffered a great impact.

Although the Black Prison Master is not worth mentioning in front of these A-level giants, his strength is definitely top-notch in the B-level civilization.

Everyone present knew what it meant to be able to wipe him out so easily.

"One finger? An instantaneous thought?" The beating heart uttered a dull murmur. This was the voice of the Netherworld Ghost Emperor. "This... this is at least the embryonic form of the Dao Lord realm, or perhaps some kind of power beyond the laws of nature we don't understand. How could a civilization that just left its home planet possess such a being?"

"Not only that," the Titan leader continued, "this civilization, called 'Daqin,' operates in a unique way. They don't kill indiscriminately, but their laws are strict. After they captured Wanbao Tower, they didn't plunder it. Instead, they restructured it, enacted laws, and demanded submission from the surrounding civilizations. They seem... to be establishing a unified order."

"Order?" a sharp voice rang out, originating from a mechanical lifeform covered in mechanical armor. "In all the universe, the law of the jungle prevails, and only the fittest survive. Order is merely a shackle used by the strong to restrain the weak. Does this 'Great Qin' intend to use its shackles to restrain us?"

"Brother Ji Ji is right," a well-mannered middle-aged scholar, scroll in hand, spoke. He was the head of the Tianji Pavilion, renowned for his deductions and predictions of the future. "I just deduced the future of this 'Daqin' and its leader 'Ying Zheng.' The result... was chaos. My Eye of Heaven's Secret couldn't even discern his fate. There are only two possibilities: one, his future has already transcended the realms of the heavens and myriad worlds; two, he himself is a variable, an 'anomaly' capable of upending the existing order."

"An anomaly..." The Netherworld Ghost Emperor's heart beat faster. "This is very interesting. For so many years, the universe has been stagnant. Even old guys like us have almost forgotten the taste of battle. Perhaps this 'Da Qin' can bring us some new fun."

"Fun?" The Titan leader snorted. "What I feel is a threat. A civilization that can easily wipe out a Class B giant, acting decisively and with a clear goal, has immeasurable potential. They are currently confined to the small pond of the Wanbao Star Region. When they grow up, will they turn their attention to our territory?"

"So what?" The Phantom Demon Queen's voice rang out again, with a hint of temptation and provocation. "Brother Titan, you're not afraid, are you? He's just a fledgling. If he really has that ability, can't the twelve of us combined forces suppress him?"

"The balance of the heavens has been maintained for so long, it's time for some new changes. I want to see who that young man named 'Ying Zheng' is. How dare he call himself 'Emperor' and presumptuously establish laws in the heavens and myriad realms?"

In the meeting hall, representatives of Class A civilizations were discussing the matter.

Some, like the Titan Chieftain, felt threatened and advocated killing the enemy in the cradle.

Some, like the Phantom Demon Queen and the Netherworld Ghost Emperor, were waiting to see how big a storm this "oddity" could stir up.

Others, such as mechanical life forms, analyze logically and believe that the "order" of the Qin Dynasty is a challenge to the existing "law of the jungle" and must be corrected.

Finally, the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion slowly closed the scroll in his hands, and his voice calmly spread throughout the hall: "Everyone, no matter how we view him, 'Daqin' and 'Ying Zheng' have already stepped onto the stage of the heavens. His appearance is an established fact. Instead of speculating here, why not send someone to 'contact' him?"

"Contact?" The Titan leader frowned.

"Yes, contact." The Pavilion Master of Tianji nodded. "Not to conquer, nor to destroy. But to 'take a look' and 'ask'. See what exactly this 'law' he speaks of is. Ask him why he thinks his law can apply across the heavens. Make him understand that in this universe, the ones who set the rules aren't just one or two newly ascended masters, but us, the twelve ancient beings who have stood for countless epochs."

"I agree." The Phantom Demon Queen chuckled. "I'd like to personally meet this young 'Emperor' to see if he has the qualifications to make me, the Phantom Demon, obey his 'laws'."

"I agree." The Netherworld Ghost Emperor's heart was beating. "An opponent who can make even the Heavenly Secrets unable to deduce is worth my personal visit."

One after another, representatives of Class A civilization expressed their agreement.

Finally, the Titan leader nodded silently. He knew that forcing the enemy wasn't necessarily the best option. If he pushed them into a corner, or if they truly had hidden backers, the outcome would be more harm than good. The best strategy was to contact them first and test their abilities.

"Alright," the Titan Chieftain said solemnly, "We'll follow the Pavilion Master's advice. Each of our twelve clans will send an envoy to form the 'Angelic Corps' and travel to the Wanbao Star Region to meet with the 'Great Qin Heavenly Emperor'. We want to let him know that the heavens are vast and full of capable people. He still has a long way to go."

"Let him understand that above him, there are us."

"Before him, there was the 'Master of Dao'."
