Da Qin: Conquer all heavens and all realms

The light of the judgment seat lingers for a long time in the void of the eternal universe.

Michael, the Archangel of Judgment who once dominated the heavens, had his divinity abolished and was thrown into reincarnation. It was like a loud slap in the face of all the self-proclaimed noble gods.

The news spread to every corner of the universe at a speed faster than the speed of light.

At first, it was shock.

Countless powerful beings in the heavens and myriad worlds could not believe that a newly rising "mortal kingdom" would dare to conduct such a humiliating trial on a high-ranking archangel of the Divine Court.

This is not just a challenge to a divine court, it is a challenge to the authority of the entire divine system!

Then, there was panic.

Those gods who had once been hostile to the Kingdom of Law, or had simply watched from the sidelines, now felt a chill.

They realized that this emperor named "Ying Zheng" and the Kingdom of Law he established were far more terrifying than they had imagined. He was not building an empire, he was establishing an "order" that could judge the gods!

Finally, there is rage.

Especially those ancient pantheons that have close ties with the Temple of Light, their dignity has been completely trampled upon.

In their view, mortals should be mortals, and ants should be ants, always crawling at the feet of gods and looking up at the glory of gods.

And Ying Zheng, this ignorant mortal emperor, actually wanted to judge the gods. This is the greatest blasphemy to the concept of "God" itself!

Thus, an unprecedented meeting of all gods was held in the main temple of the Temple of Light.

Atop the main throne sat the supreme leader of the Court of Light—the Supreme God of Light. His figure was shrouded in endless light, his face invisible. One could only sense a vast, majestic aura tinged with raging fury.

Below him sat representatives from various ancient pantheons. There was the Ares, the chief deity in charge of war and slaughter; the three goddesses of the Norn, who governed fate and textiles; Hades, the underworld king who ruled over the underworld and the dead; and even the star god from the ancient heavens of the East, who had inextricable ties to the ancestors of the afterlife...

These gods usually fought against each other and were incompatible with each other, but today, they sat together in a rare occasion. This was because they had a common enemy - Ying Zheng and his Kingdom of Law.

"Everyone, you've seen it all." The voice of the Supreme God of Light, like billions of stars burning simultaneously, echoed throughout the temple. "That mortal from the lower realms has trampled upon the dignity of God and destroyed my messenger. His actions constitute the crime of 'blasphemy' against the entire world of gods!"

"If it is not erased, the order that has existed since ancient times, where the gods reign supreme, will be shattered! Mortals will think they can challenge and judge the gods! This is something I, and everyone here, will never tolerate!"

Ares, the god of war, clad in blood-red armor and holding a flaming spear, spoke in a voice as resounding as a bell: "The Supreme God is absolutely right! How dare a mere mortal attack a god? This is an insult to 'power' itself! I, the Ares pantheon, am willing to be the vanguard, leading a multi-million-strong army to crush his kingdom of law and use their blood to wash away the shame of the gods!"

Clotho, the goddess of weaving and the eldest of the three goddesses of fate, spoke in a cold and eerie voice, "War is not the only means. The foundation of that mortal empire lies in its so-called 'laws.' We can curse its kingdom from the perspectives of 'cause and effect' and 'fate,' causing its laws to collapse from within, leaving its people to fend for themselves in endless misfortune."

Hades, the god of the underworld, smiled sinisterly and said, "Whether it's war or curse, it's too slow. My underworld controls the boundary between life and death. I can directly bring down the 'scourge of the undead', flooding his kingdom with an endless army of undead, and turning every one of his people into my underworld warriors. I wonder what he can use to 'judge' these lifeless undead?"

The Eastern Star Lord stroked his beard and spoke slowly, "Fellow gods, please be patient. Ying Zheng is no small figure. He possesses the Imperial Artifact 'Desolation' in a mortal body, and is even connected to the ancient will within 'Nothingness'. A forceful attack would likely result in heavy losses. How about we jointly unleash the 'Great Formation of Sealing the Heavens of Ten Thousand Gods' to completely seal the cosmic plane where his Kingdom of Law resides, rendering it an isolated city and severing all contact with the outside world? Then, we will slowly deplete his national strength until he withers and dies."

For a time, the temple was abuzz with opinions, with all sorts of sinister and powerful plans being proposed one after another. Each one was enough to completely destroy an ordinary cosmic civilization.

The Supreme God of Light listened quietly until all the gods had expressed their opinions. Then He slowly spoke, His voice filled with unquestionable determination:

"Every one of your strategies has its merits. But to deal with an enemy who dares to judge a god, we must use the most thorough, most domineering, and most unyielding means!"

"So, I decided—"

"Activate 'Divine Punishment'!"

As soon as the words "divine punishment" were uttered, the air in the entire temple seemed to freeze.

All the gods present showed expressions of shock and awe.

"Divine punishment" is the highest level of punishment that can be used by all the gods united together.

It is not a single attack, but a conceptual "divine punishment" covering the entire universe.

Once activated, the plane that is subjected to "divine punishment" will be collectively rejected and suppressed by all gods at the level of law.

In that plane, the power of gods will be infinitely magnified, while all non-god powers will be extremely weakened.

Flames will lose their temperature, lightning will lose its power, and even concepts such as "hope" and "order" will become dim.

This is the most thorough denial of a civilization by the world of gods!

"I will use 'light' as a guide to bring down the 'fire of purification'!" declared the Supreme God of Light.

"My Ares pantheon will bring about 'endless war'!" the God of War responded.

"We, the Norn pantheon, will weave the 'Web of Despair'!" said the three goddesses of fate in unison.

"My underworld will open the 'Kingdom of the Dead'!" Hades, the god of the underworld, sneered.

"My Eastern Heaven will lay down the 'Star Chains'!" The Star Lord also solemnly promised.

The main gods of the ancient pantheon offered their most original divine power one after another.

Under the guidance of the Supreme God of Light, these divine powers began to gather and merge, transforming into a dark golden ball of light that was suspended in the center of the temple, constantly rotating and emitting an aura of destruction.

This ball of light was the embodiment of "divine punishment." It hadn't yet taken shape, but the terrifying power contained within it had already caused the surrounding void to distort and collapse.

"Give me three days!" The voice of the Supreme God of Light resounded through the heavens. "In three days, divine punishment will take shape and descend upon that barbaric land called the 'Kingdom of Law'!"

"I want him to see with his own eyes how fragile and ridiculous his proud 'law' is in the face of true 'divine authority'!"

"I want him to understand that mortals are, after all, mortals! They can never, ever, set foot in the realm of God!"

……

At the same time, in the Kingdom of Law, Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng sat upright on the imperial throne, his eyes slightly closed, as if in a state of meditation. But his mind had already penetrated the endless void and clearly "saw" the meeting of all gods held in the Court of Light.

He "saw" the wrath of the Supreme God of Light, heard Ares's roar, and sensed the ball of "divine punishment" light that was gathering and was powerful enough to destroy an entire universe.

However, there was no trace of tension or fear on his face.

Instead, the corner of his mouth curled up into a cold arc filled with endless sarcasm.

"Divine punishment?" He slowly opened his eyes, with golden light flashing in them, like the words of law.

"I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

He stood up and walked to the huge star map in the void. On the star map, the territory of the Kingdom of Law was clearly marked, as well as the surrounding stars that shone with divine light and represented various divine realms.

"You think that by uniting together and using your so-called 'divine authority' you can suppress my 'law'?"

"You are wrong."

"The reason why my 'law' can judge the gods is precisely because it was born out of resistance to 'divine authority' and transcends 'divine authority'!"

"Your 'divine punishment' is not a disaster to me."

"But... the best 'Code' material!"

Ying Zheng stretched out his finger and gently tapped the core position of the Kingdom of Law on the star map.

The next moment, an order was issued through the Law Godhead, spreading to every corner of the Kingdom of God:

"Pass on my order——"

"The Kingdom of Law, from now on, enters the 'Level 1 Divine Punishment Response' state!"

"The Crucible of All Realms, operate at full power, transform all the energy from the coming of 'Divine Punishment' into 'Law Divine Power', feeding back to the Kingdom of God!"

"'Judgement Seat', lift off and stand by. Prepare to receive the core laws of 'Divine Punishment' and begin 'legislation'!"

"All the armies of the Law God, take your positions. Use the Law as your shield and the Law as your spear, and prepare to meet the enemy!"

"I, in this 'divine punishment' brought down by the combined forces of the gods, will establish the first and most important cosmic constitution for my Kingdom of Law—"

"Even divine authority must abide by the law!"

"Violators will be judged!"

Golden chains of law shot up from the Xianyang Palace into the sky, instantly filling the entire universe of the Kingdom of Law.

These chains were not for defense, but for "guidance." Like a vast legal net, they quietly awaited the arrival of the unprecedented storm of "divine punishment" from the gods of the heavens.

Ying Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the area in the void that was being locked by the divine domain, his eyes calm and deep.

"Gods of heaven, do you think this is your judgment on me?"

"No, this is my—"

"Court is in session!"
