Xiaoxiao.

The ministers, who were originally discussing matters in the main hall, were startled by the emperor's sudden action.

They looked at each other, wondering if the empire had suffered some earth-shattering disaster that had caused the emperor to lose his composure.

So the ministers hurriedly followed Ying Ao out of the hall.

When the group of ministers finally caught up with Ying Ao, they saw their emperor gazing up at the sky, which had returned to calm.

Following Ying Ao's gaze, the ministers also saw the three rainbows that had flashed by. However, unlike Ying Ao, they did not know what these three rainbows meant. They looked at each other with confusion and fear, and the whole scene fell into a deathly silence.

The officials of the Imperial Observatory stared in disbelief at the strange sight in the sky.

Three long rainbows stretched across the sky, their light dazzling and awe-inspiring, like gods descending to earth.

The ministers all wore expressions of joy, bowed to His Majesty the Emperor, and repeatedly congratulated him: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! This is an auspicious omen that comes only once in a century! It will surely protect our Great Qin Empire, ensuring favorable weather, national peace and prosperity, and lasting prosperity for thousands of generations!"

For a time, praise was endless.

However, among this group of ministers, only a handful of high-ranking officials who were able to participate in the empire's most confidential affairs had unusually solemn expressions.

They knew the true meaning behind the three rainbows, and a complex emotion welled up in their hearts—a mixture of loss and relief.

These high-ranking officials were well aware of the outstanding contributions and irreplaceable importance that the three killing gods had made to the empire.

It was precisely because of their extraordinary strength and fearless courage that the Qin Empire was able to ignore the threat of the Ten Great Sects.

At the same time, as the most powerful people in the empire, they also deeply understood the potential impact that the existence of these three people had on the entire country.

You must know that those three killing gods possess superhuman strength, and can even disregard all laws and threats.

To some extent, they had become like gods. This position above everyone else undoubtedly made these once high-ranking nobles feel somewhat uneasy and constrained.

After all, no one could predict what changes such a powerful and unrestrained individual would bring to the empire's ruling order in the future.

Now, with the appearance of these three long rainbows, it means that the three killing gods have finally left this land.

Although I felt a little reluctant to part with it, I felt mostly relieved.

From then on, they no longer needed to worry about the turmoil and changes that might be caused by that powerful force, and could more confidently control this vast empire and continue to implement their own governance strategies.

The greater the power of a person, the more they tend to hate being restrained, as if those ropes would tightly bind their wings that allow them to soar freely.

Now that the shackles that once bound them have been completely removed, how could they not feel relaxed and carefree?

At that moment, more and more people noticed the strange phenomenon appearing in the sky.

Three long rainbows shot straight into the sky like three sharp swords, their brilliance even suppressing the sun's radiance.

Initially, only those within the Qin Empire could witness this spectacle, but soon, people from the Tang and Han Empires also looked up at the sky, their mouths agape in astonishment.

After receiving confirmation from their subordinates, the Han emperor and the Tang emperor finally felt a huge weight lifted from their hearts.

It's important to know that no one knew the immense pressure they were under before.

The pressure was especially intense when they learned that the three individuals were not only safe and sound, but were also recuperating peacefully at Dongting Lake.

Although those individuals had never shown any desire for worldly power, no one dared to forget that among them was the eldest princess of the Great Qin Dynasty—the beloved daughter of the current Emperor of Great Qin!

Although most accomplished people in the world are detached from worldly affairs and do not care about fame and fortune, who can guarantee that this princess will not be moved by compassion because she cannot sever the blood ties with her biological father?

If the Qin emperor had seized the opportunity to play the emotional card and the father and daughter had hit it off, would the Penglai Wonderland, as well as the Tang and Han empires, still have a foothold?

This problem is like a sword of Damocles hanging over everyone's head, making people restless and unable to eat or sleep.

Originally, the ten renowned sects had already brought them immense pressure, making it almost impossible for them to breathe.

However, now three more peerless killing gods have arrived!

These three are incredibly powerful. With a mere gesture, they could easily annihilate the combined might of the ten major sects. Faced with such formidable enemies, how could they possibly have any chance of survival?

Although they knew that the three killing gods were waiting for news about the Vermilion Fruit on the shores of Dongting Lake, and that they had not set foot here since the appearance of the Qin Emperor, as long as these three killing gods were still alive, the Han Emperor and the Tang Emperor would find it difficult to sleep peacefully or eat in peace.

Every night as they fell asleep, they were filled with fear, lest they wake up to find that the vast empire they ruled had ceased to exist.

Today, when they witnessed the three killing gods transform into a rainbow of light and disappear into the distance, this sudden and immense joy struck their hearts, making them extremely excited, and tears welled up uncontrollably in their eyes.

This joy, like a surging tide, surged within my heart, lingering for a long time.

If they could see each other at this moment, they would surely regard each other as their most cherished and understanding friend in this life.

Unfortunately, this was ultimately just a beautiful fantasy.

It should be noted that the Emperor of Han resided in the Chang Le Wei Yang Palace, while the Emperor of Tang lived in the Zhu Que Hall in Chang'an. The two were more than 100,000 li apart, so how could they possibly see each other?

Unlike the relaxed demeanor of the two emperors, the people at this moment were in a state of extreme fervor!

Their emotions were ignited like a raging fire, and the entire country was immersed in a sea of ​​jubilation.

Before long, all sorts of bizarre rumors spread like wildfire.

Some people claim with certainty that mysterious immortals once descended to earth and gracefully passed through this land.

Even more surprisingly, it is said that as long as you pray to this immortal with an extremely sincere heart, whatever you ask for will be granted and your dreams will come true!

This news struck like a thunderbolt, creating a huge uproar in people's hearts.

As a result, the various Taoist temples in the three great empires immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

Countless people flocked to those solemn and majestic Taoist temples, kneeling and kowtowing with hope, praying devoutly.

Meanwhile, the Taoist temples also made a fortune from this opportunity, with a constant stream of believers coming to offer incense and pray for blessings. The prosperity of their temples was beyond imagination.

At the same time, a steady stream of incense money poured into the Taoist temple's treasury like a tidal wave, piling up like mountains, leaving people speechless.

Faced with such substantial profits, the temple keeper and abbot of each Taoist temple were naturally beaming with joy, their eyes practically squinting into slits.

They were overjoyed and began planning how to further expand the Taoist temple and elevate their own status.

However, all this bustling activity was irrelevant to them, because something more important awaited them ahead...
