Da Qin: Conquer all heavens and all realms

The aftermath of divine punishment reverberated for a long time throughout the heavens and myriad realms.

It was a silent earthquake, a conceptual tsunami. Countless worlds dependent on the gods felt the collapse of faith and the disruption of laws at the moment of divine punishment's backlash.

The gods they believed in seemed to have transformed overnight from omniscient and omnipotent supreme beings into mortals who could be hurt, bleed, and even die.

Panic spread like a plague throughout the heavens and all realms.

But in the Kingdom of Law, the scene is completely different.

The operation of the "Furnace of All Worlds" became more stable and efficient. The power of divine punishment that was consumed was refined and transformed by the furnace, becoming the purest source of law, nourishing the entire kingdom of God.

The territory of the Kingdom of Law is expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the laws within it are becoming more solid and more perfect.

In the Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng sat on the imperial throne, and in front of him, a huge magic mirror was floating.

What was reflected in the mirror was no longer the chaos of the divine realms of the heavens, but a series of extremely clear maps - the distribution map of the divine realms of the heavens and myriad worlds.

This map is a map of the core sphere of influence of the gods in the heavens, drawn by the Kingdom of Law by tracing back the origin of divine power during the backlash of divine punishment.

The location, size, law characteristics, and even the divinity strength of each divine domain are clearly marked.

This is the route map of Ying Zheng's "tour".

"Your Majesty, everything is ready for the 'Patrol of the Heavens' ceremony." Meng Tian appeared in the hall. He was wearing a black battle armor. The armor was no longer engraved with dragon patterns, but complicated law runes.

His aura was more restrained and deeper than before, as if his entire being had merged into one with the laws of the Kingdom of Law.

Behind him stood the high-ranking officials of the Kingdom of Law. Li Si, Wang Jian, Zhang Han... these former generals, now ministers of law or marshals of the Kingdom of God, exuded a majesty of law that rivaled that of the gods.

"Okay." Ying Zheng stood up slowly, his black dragon imperial robe moving without wind, and his majestic imperial power enveloped the hall.

"The divine punishment is complete, and the backlash has arrived. All gods, you should know my majesty. However, majesty cannot be established with words. It requires personal presence, teaching by law and witnessing by force."

He glanced at everyone and said in a loud voice:

"Today, I will personally lead my patrol army across the divine realms of the heavens. Everywhere I pass, it will become the territory of the Kingdom of Law; every god I see will be judged by my law!"

"This war is not for killing or plundering, but for establishing rules!"

"Establish rules for Your Majesty!" The ministers shouted in unison, their voices reaching the sky.

Ying Zheng nodded, his eyes falling on the first target in the magic mirror - the Temple of Light.

Jehovah, as one of the initiators of this "divine punishment" and Michael's direct superior, will be the first stop on Ying Zheng's tour.

"Preach my will."

Ying Zheng's voice spread to every corner through the law network of the Kingdom of Law: "The patrol team, set off!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of Xianyang Palace slowly opened. Outside the door, there was no longer emptiness, but a golden avenue paved with the power of pure law.

This avenue, like the backbone of a giant dragon, twists and turns, leading directly to the cosmic coordinates marked as "The Court of Light" in the magic mirror.

Ying Zheng took a step forward and was already on the golden avenue.

Meng Tian, ​​Li Si and others followed closely behind, and behind them were countless divine guards formed by the power of law.

These imperial guards had blurry figures and unclear faces, but each of them exuded a heart-pounding aura of absolute order.

They are the embodiment of the law and the extension of Ying Zheng's will.

The golden avenue continued to extend in the void. Wherever it passed, chaos retreated and disorder subsided.

Along the way, those dependent worlds that were affected by divine punishment and fell into chaos miraculously restored order the moment they felt the power of the law.

The withered grass and trees came back to life, the broken star laws began to repair themselves, and hope was rekindled in the hearts of desperate creatures.

This is the power of the Kingdom of Law. It is not only about destruction, but also about building and protecting.

Ying Zheng's steps did not pause for a moment. His goal was clear from the beginning: the core of the Divine Realm of the Heavens.

Soon, the outline of the Temple of Light appeared at the end of the golden avenue.

It was a universe of incomparably sacred and glorious starry skies, countless holy lights gathered into clouds, and the hymns of angels echoed eternally in the void.

Temples built with the power of pure faith are suspended in the star field, emitting awe-inspiring divine power.

This is the holy land of the Court of Light, the dojo of Jehovah.

However, at this moment, the holy land was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere.

The divine punishment backfired, dealing a particularly heavy blow to the Divine Court of Light. As the primary source of divine punishment, the Divine Court of Light not only lost a vast amount of faith, but also suffered the contamination and impact of its core 'Law of Light'.

Inside the sanctuary, the angel legions were silent as a mouse. Even the most majestic Archangel lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Jehovah who sat high on the throne.

Jehovah's face still had a look of compassion, but deep in his eyes, there was an unconcealable gloom and rage.

He didn't expect that Ying Zheng would actually dare to retaliate against the divine punishment, and he didn't expect that the other party's power had become so strange that he could transform their divine punishment into a weapon to judge them.

At this moment, an irresistible aura filled with absolute order and majesty came from outside the sanctuary.

That aura wasn't particularly powerful, and could even be described as quite calm. Yet, it carried a natural, repressive force, as if it were a 'Supreme Law' that existed since the dawn of time, causing all the laws of light within the Holy Land to instinctively tremble and submit.

"Here it comes..." Jehovah slowly opened his eyes, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

He stood up, walked down from the throne, and came to the border of the holy land.

Outside the holy land, the road paved with golden laws had extended in front of them.

On the avenue, a figure wearing the Black Dragon Emperor robe was walking towards them step by step.

His pace was not fast, but it carried a peculiar rhythm. Every step he took seemed to be stepping on the pulse of the entire holy land.

"Ying Zheng!"

The voice of Jehovah echoed in the holy land, carrying with it endless majesty and wrath.

"How dare you set foot in the holy land of my Bright Divine Court!"

Ying Zheng reached the end of the avenue and stopped. He and Jehovah faced each other from afar, separated by the barrier of the Holy Land, which was formed by the laws of light.

He looked at Jehovah with calm eyes, without any hostility, as if he was just looking at an object... who needed to be educated.

"Why shouldn't I dare?" Ying Zheng spoke lightly. His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard throughout the entire holy land.

"I have already accepted the divine punishment. I have also returned the blow. I come today not to seek revenge, but to judge."

"Judgment? Judgment on whom? Judgment on me?" Jehovah sneered, and his divine power burst out. The light of the entire holy land became brighter, trying to suppress Ying Zheng's aura of law.

Ying Zheng shook his head.

"No, not judging you."

His gaze passed past Jehovah and fell on the most magnificent temple built by the power of faith in the depths of the holy land.

He slowly raised his hand and pointed towards the temple.

"What I want to judge is the very foundation on which your gods exist—"

Belief!"

The moment he finished speaking, Ying Zheng slowly raised his other hand.

In his right hand, he holds the sword of 'Huang', representing destruction and judgment.

In his left hand, he held a code composed of golden laws, representing order and establishment.

Destruction and order achieved perfect unity in him.

The code in his left hand suddenly opened.

The first page was blank.

Ying Zheng's voice, like the original sound of the universe, resounded in the Holy Land:

"In my name, establish new laws."

"Article One: Theocracy cannot be placed above all living beings. Anyone who uses faith as a pretext to enslave, deceive, or manipulate sentient beings is unlawful!"

As he spoke, golden words began to appear on the blank first page of the golden code. Each word contained the supreme majesty of law, as if it were the truth of the universe.

And in the holy area of ​​the Temple of Light, the temples built by the power of faith began to tremble violently.

The power of faith that constitutes them is being analyzed and judged by a higher level of 'power of law'.

At this moment, countless beings who believed in the God of Light heard a voice echoing in their minds:

"Is your faith a free choice, or a shackle of manipulation?"

This question, like a thunderbolt, split the chaotic hearts of countless living beings.

Inside the holy land, Jehovah's expression finally changed.

He felt that the link of faith between him and hundreds of millions of believers was becoming fragile, or even... being severed!

"Ying Zheng, stop! You are shaking the foundation of the heavens and all worlds! You will cause chaos in the universe!" Jehovah roared, and for the first time, fear appeared in his eyes.

Ying Zheng looked at him with cold eyes.

"The foundation of the universe is order, law, and the path that all living beings can pursue through their own efforts. It is not the lies called 'faith' that you gods weave to satisfy your own selfish desires!"

"Today, I will shatter this lie and restore a bright and clear world to all living beings!"

The code in his left hand shone with golden light.

"The trial begins!"

In an instant, the holy land of the Light Divine Court was turned upside down!
