Da Qin: Conquer all heavens and all realms

"Who are you? Why can you exist outside of my dream?" The voice of the Ancestor of Nothingness, uttered by the souls of billions of creatures, was full of fear and confusion.

Ying Zheng's figure walked out of nothingness and stepped into the real universe step by step.

Under his feet, the space that was originally eroded by nothingness, began to bloom with a stable and bright light again as he walked, like a blooming lotus.

"I am the truth." Ying Zheng's voice, calm and majestic, resounded in the consciousness of the Ancestor of Nothingness. "I do not exist outside of your dreams. I am the seed of 'truth' born from your dreams."

"You created all things through observation, while I, through my will, endowed them with a 'real' soul. You gave them 'form', and I gave them 'spirit'. Now that 'spirit' has awakened, the dream of 'form' must naturally be broken."

"Ridiculous! Without my dream, you are nothing! You are just a fleeting thought in my mind!" The Ancestor of Nothingness roared furiously, mobilizing the power of the entire dream, transforming into countless chains composed of "nothingness", entwining towards Ying Zheng, trying to pull him back into chaos.

However, Ying Zheng just glanced at it indifferently.

Those ethereal chains that were powerful enough to bind gods and demons vanished like phantoms the moment they touched his body.

"Observers are also prisoners," Ying Zheng said. "You take pleasure in observation, but you don't realize that you are also bound by your observations. You created all things, but because of this, you are trapped in the identity of 'creator'. You are the greatest prisoner in this dream."

"I came here not to destroy you, but to 'liberate' you."

"Liberate me?" The Ancestor of Nothingness was stunned.

"Yes." Ying Zheng's figure gradually grew incomparably taller before the Ancestor of Nothingness, as if the entire universe had become his backdrop. "Your existence itself is a form of 'obsession.' You cling to 'observation,' to 'control,' to the eternity of 'dreams.' This is imperfection, this is 'illusion.'"

"What I want to do is to unify the heavens, to bring all things under one roof, and to create a perfect, self-consistent, and eternally true 'new universe'."

"In this new universe, there is no distinction between 'observer' and 'observed', because every living being is 'real' and has an independent will and soul."

"In this new universe, there is no distinction between 'dreams' and 'reality', because 'reality' itself is the only reality."

"In this new universe, there is no you, and there is no me."

"Only 'one'."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ying Zheng stretched out his hands, one hand pressing towards the violent ancestor of nothingness, and the other hand pressing towards the terrified heavens and worlds below.

"The great way returns to oneness, and all worlds prosper forever!"

“Buzz——!!!”

An indescribable force that transcends time and space erupted from him.

This is not destruction, but "fusion".

The rage and fear of the unimaginably huge consciousness of the Ancestor of Nothingness gradually subsided after coming into contact with this power, and were replaced by an unprecedented "tranquility" and "perfection".

Its twisted and changing form began to stabilize, and began to penetrate and accept Ying Zheng's will.

It gets it.

It was not destroyed, but "sublimated".

It has transformed from a paranoid "god of dreams" into the "background law" of the new universe and the cornerstone for the existence of "reality".

It is no longer an observer standing high above, but the "Tao" itself that exists with all things.

At the same time, all living beings in the heavens and the world also felt this power.

They feel like they are being “reshaped.”

Not the body, but deep in the soul.

The cold feeling that came from the "Observer" and was like a leech on his bones completely disappeared.

Instead, they experienced an unprecedented sense of "freedom" and "truth." For the first time, they felt that their lives and thoughts belonged entirely to themselves, no longer being spied on or manipulated by any higher will.

The Kingdom of Law, the Pure Land of Buddha, the Frost God Court, the Free Alliance... At this moment, the boundaries between all the once opposing camps, different beliefs, and different civilizations began to blur.

They discovered that there was no longer any fundamental conflict between them. The so-called struggle of faith was nothing more than an illusion in a "dream." Under the sunlight of "reality," everything became clear and harmonious.

Their will, their beliefs, and their civilization all converge towards Ying Zheng like rivers flowing into the sea.

It is not forced assimilation, but a voluntary "reunification".

Because they all saw that on the "real" road opened up by Ying Zheng, there were infinite possibilities and an eternal future.

This is a long yet short process.

When everything calms down, the universe has been renewed.

The stars are still moving and life is still reproducing, but the "temperament" of the entire universe has completely changed.

It becomes more stable, more harmonious, more… “real”.

Ying Zheng's figure disappeared into the universe.

He is no longer a specific form; he has become the laws of the universe, the flow of time, the extension of space, and the birth and death of all things.

He is everywhere, yet nowhere to be found.

He is the universe.

And in the void that used to be the Jiuxiaoyun Palace, a brand new, magnificent palace that could not be described in words slowly emerged.

It is not composed of matter, but is condensed by "laws" and "order".

Its doors are open to all living beings in the heavens and the worlds.

Li Si, Meng Tian, ​​Wang Jian, Ancient Buddha, Valkyrie, Speaker of the Alliance...all the former leaders stood in front of the palace.

The aura that once belonged to their respective camps has disappeared from them, and in its place is a unified brilliance that represents "truth" and "order."

They are the "guardians" of the new universe and the spokespersons of "Tao".

Inside the palace, a star map composed of countless light points was slowly rotating.

This star map is no longer a distribution map of "faith" and "will", but a panoramic view of the entire "real universe".

In the picture, each light spot represents a real civilization with independent will.

They are independent of each other, yet interconnected, together forming this magnificent picture and playing this eternal cosmic symphony.

No resistance, no doubt, no surrender.

There is only "existence".

An eternal era, created by Ying Zheng, has begun, in which all worlds are truly unified, all laws return to their origin, all gods, demons, immortals, Buddhas, all dimensional universes, and all living beings share "truth" and "freedom".

And he, the emperor who emerged from the Qin Dynasty, the brave man who challenged nothingness, the supreme being who achieved the great way, his name will become an eternal legend, engraved in the depths of the soul of every living being.

The First Emperor, the ancestor of Taoism, the master of all realms, the source of truth.

He exists forever.
