Upon closer inspection, the tip of the Hades Spear was enveloped in a layer of cold light.

Hades, the god of the underworld, had already infused it with divine power.

Once pierced by the divine source, even a god-king would be killed in one blow.

The only way is to hide.

But Qin Shi Huang, who was nearly exhausted, had no strength left to hide.

Qin Shi Huang swallowed hard, watching Hades closing in step by step.

Despite the pain that engulfed him, the First Emperor, his majesty remained undiminished.

With only half his body remaining, he touched the vortex of air and, clinging to his last breath, managed to stand up on one leg.

"Fighting spirit! My God, I saw fighting spirit in his eyes."

"Even in this state, he showed absolutely no fear."

"We must continue to fight for the people!"

The entire audience fell silent for a moment.

In their minds, emperors were always depicted as pleasure-seeking, extravagant, and prone to confiscation of property and extermination of entire families, enslaving the people and treating human life as worthless.

But in this First Emperor, all we saw was the word "protection".

Under the gaze of countless eyes, Ying Zheng uttered a sentence.

"I am still capable of fighting."

It condensed a royal aura, but its power was clearly only one-tenth of what it used to be.

At this moment, Hades was filled with murderous intent. He raised his hand and destroyed Ying Zheng, lifting half of his body with a spear.

"People of China, take note: your king is about to die a horrible death."

"What can you cowardly mortals do for him?"

Heartache, resentment, and helplessness—various emotions spread through the hearts of the Chinese people.

Yes, our ancestors died fighting for the people, what can we do for them?

Is he just powerless to shout and express his grief and indignation across the ring?

"I can't take it anymore! To hell with the covenant with the gods! From this day forward, my Dragon Kingdom withdraws from the Mythical Arena and declares war on the entire world!" Grand Marshal Long Zhan finally lost his temper and issued orders to the three armies.

This is what they did for their ancestors: bombard those bastards.

However, this order was quickly halted by other senior officials.

"Long Zhan, are you crazy? With our current national strength, how can we be a match for the allied forces? Even if we win in the end, we can't stop the process of the gods' resurrection."

"Do you intend to use cannons to attack the Western gods?"

After assessing the situation, Long Zhan calmed down a bit.

But he still stubbornly insisted: "Why can't we fight? Gods are human too. Even if cannons can't do it, we'll use nuclear weapons!"

Just talking nonsense.

The ancestor on the arena could die tragically in the Northwest at any moment.

As citizens, are we really just supposed to stand by and watch our ancestors die tragically?

"There is still hope for our ancestor!" Su Ming shouted suddenly from the altar.

The reason why our ancestors were no match for Hades was not only because Hades was immortal, but also because they were able to absorb the power of the dead in the underworld, which allowed them to replenish their strength continuously.

How do you fight someone who isn't human and has a built-in wireless power bank?

Su Ming was about to suggest a method, but he wasn't sure...

"Speak quickly! What are we waiting for if we can save our ancestor!"

"That's right, a few seconds later and the ancestor would really have..."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

However, Long Qian spoke up for Su Ming: "The people should offer sacrifices."

"Our ancestor was the first emperor of China, ruling over hundreds of millions of people. Now, he is fighting to protect the country, and naturally he can also use the blood of the Chinese people to prolong his life."

Hades' casual sarcasm was unexpectedly full of hidden meaning.

Hades can draw power from the underworld, so why can't the human emperor draw power from the human world? But Qin Shi Huang disdained it.

"Then what should I do? I'm willing to pay any price."

Some passionate online heroes flooded the screen with comments.

When they heard that they would have to sacrifice ten years of their lives, they fell silent.

To use ten years of one's lifespan to save a person who only exists in mythology.

Most people felt it wasn't worth it.

But in these kinds of situations, there's always someone to take the lead.

Long Qian, the former summoner of the Dragon Kingdom, stepped forward and said, "Empty your mind and simply contemplate the figure of your ancestor; you can sacrifice ten years of your lifespan."

"I'll be the first one."

With Long Qian taking the lead, the audience was moved by his words.

They also joined the sacrificial army.

Some people are just trying it out.

Unexpectedly, it was really that mysterious; a halo actually appeared above my head.

They are ready to be retrieved at any time; those who regret their decision and want to take it back will find it too late.

"So be it, it's just ten years of life. A kind old man like me will live to be a hundred or two hundred years old anyway, so losing ten years won't hurt me."

"I'm willing to spend ten, twenty, or even thirty years, let alone ten."

"If the Chinese gods are defeated and the Western gods descend, we probably won't see the sun rise tomorrow."

Some elderly people in their fifties and sixties also made sacrifices.

Unexpectedly, the moment the halo gathered at the top of his head, he fainted.

The old man's grandson cried out, "Grandpa, you're already in your seventies or eighties, why are you still getting involved in this mess?"

If Qin Shi Huang really did take away that halo, then the old man would truly be dead.

The entire audience was shocked.

Sakura never expected that the Chinese people would be so united in this regard, which was quite surprising.

On the contrary, Su Ming, who was on the altar, had not yet seen a halo above his head.

"What is this kid doing?!"

"It is said that summoners have the purest lifespan and can fight against ten thousand enemies. You are only in your early twenties. What's wrong with sacrificing ten years of your lifespan for the ancestors?"

"A coward who clings to life and fears death!"

Su Ming remained unmoved despite the online abuse.

In the arena, Qin Shi Huang sensed the power of the people's united will.

Originating from all over China, the scattered halos radiated boundless vitality, trembling above people's heads, eagerly awaiting Qin Shi Huang's command.

"Grandpa, hurry up and inhale! It'll be too late if you don't inhale now."

Qin Shi Huang raised his left arm, as if to absorb this boundless spiritual power.

With a flick of his sleeve, he instantly dispelled that halo of billions.

“I am the king, and I should stand before all the people. How can I possibly suck your lifeblood?”

"I appreciate your kind words."

In an instant, all the tough guys on the internet were moved to tears.

"I have sand in my eyes, this old ancestor is making me cry my eyes out."

"She can really cry."

"My wife didn't cry, but I made her cry by hitting her."

A ruler should stand before the people, not waste resources and oppress the common folk.

This is a true monarch.

Just then, Su Ming made his move, catching everyone off guard.

An unprecedented and terrifying divine power descended from the sky and poured into Qin Shi Huang's body, instantly freeing him from Hades's deadly spear.

Faced with death, Qin Shi Huang could maintain his imperial authority, but at this moment he was anxious.

"You unfilial descendants, stop now!"

"You'll die if you keep going like this!"

Qin Shi Huang's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Su Ming.

Long Qian: "He is sacrificing his divinity, and it is a complete sacrifice!"

"Even if he doesn't die in the end, he will become a living dead."

The summoners of the Kingdom of Hilla were well aware of the consequences of doing so.

Only summoners with 100% divinity can intervene in the arena.

Someone with 25% divinity like him wouldn't even qualify to offer a sacrifice.

In a daze, he saw the determination of the Chinese people.

Even if we lose this match.

In a sense, the Dragon Kingdom has won this battle to the point of exhaustion.
