Da Qin: Conquer all heavens and all realms

Time passed in an almost frozen state.

Ever since Ying Zheng's proclamation resounded throughout the heavens, the order of the entire universe has been completely overturned.

Throughout the ages, there have been many divine systems, civilizations competing with each other, and powerful beings as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river. Each of them occupied a part of the universe and performed their own myths and legends.

They may be light or dark, they may create or destroy, but without exception, they all follow the most primitive law - the survival of the fittest, the strong are respected.

However, the appearance of Ying Zheng and the instantaneous fall of the seven ancient Heavenly Lords were like an invisible hammer, smashing this eternal law into pieces.

A new, cold and absolute law was forcibly engraved into the hearts of all living beings:

There is no one stronger than the law.

Under the emperor, all are subjects.

Every corner of the universe has fallen into unprecedented turmoil and chaos.

In an ancient pantheon hundreds of millions of light years away from the Kingdom of Law - the "Origin Divine Court".

This is one of the most ancient and mysterious pantheons recognized in the universe.

Legend has it that it was born from the singularity of the Big Bang, and its main god, "Yuanchu Tianzun", is revered as the "living history of the universe."

He was not renowned for his martial prowess, but for his wisdom and knowledge, which astonished the ages. The "Ten Thousand Volumes of the Galaxy," the library of the Origin Divine Court, contained nearly every magical skill and secret technique, the rise and fall of civilizations, and the biographies of powerful individuals since the creation of the universe.

At this moment, Yuanchu Tianzun was suspended in the core of the "Ten Thousand Scrolls of Stars." His body was composed of countless flowing nebulae and runes, and his eyes gleamed with wisdom. However, at this moment, his eyes were filled with unprecedented confusion and shock.

On the void star map in front of him, the entire process of several hours ago, when the barriers of the heavens were broken and the seven ancient Heavenly Lords were abolished, was being clearly replayed.

He slowed down, magnified, and deduced over and over again.

"It's illogical," Yuanchu Tianzun muttered to himself, his voice trembling slightly. "Life Tianzun has lived as long as the heavens and the earth. His life laws should resonate with the universe. Why is it forcibly rewritten by the 'Emperor of Destiny'? Destruction Tianzun's power of annihilation can erode time and space, so why is it defined as 'illegal' by the 'Emperor of Order'? This is simply absurd!"

He deduced billions of possibilities, but couldn't find any logic that could explain the scene before him. This went beyond "power"; it was "authority"! It was like a programmer who had programmed the entire world. He could modify the attributes of any character at any time, even delete their existence, and the character itself was powerless to resist.

"Ying Zheng...what exactly is he?" Yuanchu Tianzun's nebulous body began to tremble violently. "He's not practicing Shinto, he's...creating Shinto! He defines himself as the 'root authority' of this universe!"

At that moment, a war god clad in golden armor, hammer in hand, strode into the Galaxy Palace. His face was resolute, brimming with unyielding fighting spirit. "Father! I challenge you to battle! Though Ying Zheng may be formidable, my Origin Divine Court boasts an ancient heritage and profound heritage. I will lead the Divine Court warriors in a decisive battle! As a man of Origin Divine Court, how can I kneel before a mortal emperor?"

Yuanchu Tianzun slowly turned around, looking at his most courageous son with a complicated gaze. "Zhan'er, do you know that the 'Mortal Emperor' you speak of deposed seven ancient beings of your grandfather's generation with a single decree?"

"I know! But that was just a sneak attack, with the help of the power of the emperor under my command! If he were to fight me head-on, I might not lose!" The God of War said loudly.

"Head-on confrontation?" Yuanchu Tianzun smiled bitterly. He stretched out his finger and lightly tapped the star map.

Suddenly, countless dense silk threads appeared on the star map, these threads penetrated every living creature, every star, and every dimension.

"Look, what is this?" asked Yuanchu Tianzun.

The God of War stared intently, his brow furrowed. "Is this... the thread of cause and effect? ​​The web of fate?"

"No, this is the 'Law.'" Yuanchu Tianzun's voice became extremely heavy. "From the moment Ying Zheng ascended the throne, his 'Law' has covered the entire universe. Your every move, every word, even every thought in your mind, is constrained and observed by this 'Law.'"

He paused, then continued, "Your desire to 'confront' him head-on now constitutes treason under the 'Law.' If he so desired, he could instantly strip you of your divine power, reducing you to mortal form, or even 'erase' you from the universe. You wouldn't even have the chance to resist."

The blood drained from the War God's face instantly, and the hand gripping his hammer began to tremble uncontrollably. He couldn't understand, nor could he accept, this "rule-based crushing" that disregarded any power gap.

"Then... what should we do? Do we really have to... go to Xianyang Palace and kneel down to him?" The God of War's voice was full of unwillingness and humiliation.

Yuanchu Tianzun was silent for a long time, and finally, the light of wisdom in his eyes turned into a long sigh.

"Zhan'er, what do you think has enabled us, the Origin Divine Court, to maintain our eternal legacy? Is it force? No, it's wisdom, following the will of Heaven. Throughout the ages, the universe has experienced countless eras, and the end of each era is accompanied by the collapse of the old order and the establishment of a new one. The reason we can stand firm is because we never go against 'the will of Heaven'."

He raised his head, his gaze seemed to penetrate the endless void, and saw the majestic Xianyang Palace that was slowly taking shape.

"Now, a new era begins. Ying Zheng is the 'Heavenly Time' of this era. He is not our enemy, he is... the 'will of God' that we cannot understand. Resistance will only bring destruction. And surrender... perhaps, we can find a place for our Yuanchu Divine Court in this new universe of laws."

"Get ready." Yuanchu Tianzun finally made a decision, his voice filled with a hint of determination and desolation. "Gather all the elders of the Divine Court, bring our most precious books and treasures, and we will... go to Xianyang Palace."

At the same time, at the other end of the universe, there is a dark area called the "Endless Abyss".

This is where all negative emotions and evil forces converge. There is no light, no order, only eternal chaos and slaughter.

Ruling this realm is a terrifying being known as the "Lord of the Abyss." He is not a god in the traditional sense, but a conceptual being condensed from the will of the entire abyss.

Under his command are endless legions of demons, evil gods, and the undead, who take pleasure in devouring souls and destroying the world, and are the public enemy of all gods of light and justice.

When Ying Zheng's announcement reached the abyss, the Lord of the Abyss let out a deafening laugh.

"Hahahaha! Lord of Law? The Eternal Emperor? Another arrogant fool!" The voice of the Abyss Lord was like the simultaneous wailing of billions of souls, "I? Who am I? How dare you command the Abyss? Tell your master to clean his neck and wait. I will tear his laws apart with my own hands and use his divine blood to water the Ten Thousand Demon Flowers of my Abyss!"

Unlike the rational analysis of the Origin Divine Court, the Lord of the Abyss represents a pure, primitive, and chaotic will to destruction.

He doesn't understand what "authority" or "rules" are. He only knows that power is everything!
