Chat group: In Daqin, Dongjun brought happiness to us

Ying An smiled confidently and said, "Father, the life and death of the common people of the world are now in my hands. If anyone wants to fall into an endless hell after death, you can do whatever you want to me!!"

Ying Zheng seemed to finally realize something. He smiled and said, "I was negligent! However, even so, you should still sacrifice your life for your own! Only in this way can we stabilize the entire Qin Dynasty!"

"Thank you for your teachings, father!" Ying An bowed.

He seemed to want to say something more, but after a moment's hesitation, Ying Zheng sighed and said, "I will soon pass away. Before I leave for the other world, if you have any questions, you can ask me directly!!"

Chapter 261: Ying Zheng's death! The long-cherished wish of the Qin Dynasty to unify the world!

Ying An knew very well that Ying Zheng's so-called death in exchange for life was not actually a death threat.

Instead, they exchange posthumous wealth and glory for concessions during life.

In the Warring States Period, treating death as if it were life was not just a way to restrain the king.

In fact, in this era when the feudal system had not yet completely ended, the nobles themselves were equivalent to local lords.

Treating death as if it were life is also a requirement for princes.

That is to treat the deceased ancestors as if they were alive.

If before Ying An established the underworld, this kind of thing of dying as if alive was just a etiquette requirement for superficiality, then after the Lord of Mount Tai opened up the underworld, it became a complete reality.

The cycle of life and death is entirely under the control of the Lord of Mount Tai. Thus, the idea of ​​treating death as if it were life has its foundation.

I believe that Ying An only needs to show the scene of the underworld to those court officials with ulterior motives. These people will probably pledge their complete loyalty to Ying An at the first moment, and there will be absolutely no possibility of betrayal in the future.

However, Ying An also needs to open up a place in the underworld specifically for his subordinates to enjoy the wealth and prosperity after death.

Of course, all Ying An needed to do was simply to carve out a place in the underworld. He didn't need to worry about the rest. Because the living descendants would naturally provide for their ancestors in the underworld through incense, faith, and other means.

For Ying An, opening up a space in the underworld, and even allowing those loyal officials and dignitaries in their lifetime to enjoy themselves after death, was simply a piece of cake.

In this backward age, countless people die every day, and the vast majority of these souls are not even eligible for reincarnation.

In this way, the court officials and dignitaries who were loyal to Ying An and the servants who served him after his death also had a source.

I believe that no court official or noble would be willing to refuse such conditions.

The truth is, no matter how powerful, wealthy and glorious one is during his lifetime, the time he can enjoy is ultimately only a few short decades.

But after death, things are different. As long as the descendants continue to provide for them, they can enjoy life for at least a hundred years.

Let me ask you, in the face of such a reality, who, except those pure idealists, would compete with Ying An in the human world? Pure idealists would definitely not become a stumbling block to Ying An.

With just a promise of death in exchange for life, after Ying An ascended the throne of King of Qin, all obstacles were no longer a problem.

Ying Zheng's serious illness was ultimately just an illusion. Even his death was merely a false alarm, a faking of his passing to another world.

The father and son did not communicate much.

It wasn't long after Ying An met Ying Zheng that he left Xianyang Palace and returned to his own residence.

An explosive piece of news quickly spread throughout Xianyang.

Ying Zheng is seriously ill and dying, so he summons all court officials, dignitaries, and royal family members to the palace for an audience!

Ying An, who had just returned home, was summoned to the Xianyang Palace by an imperial edict.

Even in the decree, Ying An was directly named as the next King of Qin.

The reason for summoning all the ministers was just to eliminate all hidden dangers for Ying An.

Who made Fusu, who had been supported by the entire Qin Dynasty, not only survive but also be granted the title of Chang'an and Tunliu as his fief?

If Ying Zheng had not done everything in an honorable manner, who knows if Ying An would choose to betray the Qin Dynasty because of a rumor, just like Cheng Jiao did when he ascended the throne?

When Ying An returned to the Xianyang Palace.

The entire Xianyang Palace was filled with court officials and dignitaries with solemn expressions.

Apart from truly important ministers like Changping Jun and Meng Ao, only members of the Qin royal family were allowed to enter Ying Zheng's ward.

As soon as Ying An entered the room, he saw Ying Zheng looking very weak.

"An'er is here!!"

Ying Zheng smiled weakly, his eyes sweeping over his many ministers. He said, "I am doomed to die. I fear that the legacy of six generations of the Great Qin will be lost in a single day. Only Prince Ying An has the ability to inherit the throne and unify the world. Upon my passing, there is no need for a grand funeral. Prince Ying An will ascend the throne. I hope you will do your utmost to assist me in realizing the long-cherished wish of the Great Qin to unify the world!"

"Your Majesty, I obey your command!"

Whether they were willing or not, at this moment, with all the important officials and royal family members of the Qin Dynasty present, no one would refuse Ying An's dying instructions.

This couldn't be considered a request for help. After all, with Ying An's ability, no one dared to suggest that he still needed the assistance of ministers.

Apart from other things, just Ying An's previous achievements in defeating Han and Zhao, within the military, his ascension to the throne already had a foundation of popular support! !

While everyone was bowing, Ying Zheng winked at Ying An, and then his soul instantly left his body.

In order to be absolutely sure, he even deliberately used martial arts and his soul to seal the vitality of his physical body for a short period of time.

The doctor serving beside Ying Zheng had been paying attention to him. When he saw this scene, he hurried forward and took Ying Zheng's pulse.

After just a moment, the doctor knelt on the ground in fear and trepidation, saying with inexplicable sorrow: "The late king... is gone!!"

"His Majesty……"

As the sound of mourning came from the bedroom.

The entire Xianyang Palace, and even the entire Xianyang city, was plunged into grief.

Of course, this is just on the surface. It is really intriguing to think about how many people are really grieving over Ying Zheng's death.

Before everyone was busy dealing with the funeral arrangements for Ying Zheng, Ying An, with the support of Changping Jun, Meng Ao, and the imperial clan, successfully became the next King of Qin after Ying Zheng!

Although the process was simple, it only established the title. In reality, the actual process of ascending the throne was far more complicated than this hasty approach.

Even after becoming the new King of Qin, Ying An still had to keep vigil for Ying Zheng for three days.

After the news of Ying Zheng's death spread, as expected, Wei, Yan, Qi and Chu, under the banner of restoring the Han and Zhao states, launched attacks on the Qin army in Zhao and Han.

However, Ying An had been well prepared and had arranged everything in advance. In addition, the military commanders in charge of the two regions, although young, were all shining stars in the future.

With the advance preparation, the reunion of Wei, Yan, Qi and Chu was completely defeated in the shortest possible time.

Xianyang Palace. Inside the coffin of Ying Zheng.

At Ying An's request, all the palace servants have left.

Ying Zheng, who was lying in the coffin, had originally pale skin, which soon became filled with blood, and a surge of masculine energy and blood flowed through his body in an instant.

The next moment, Ying Zheng, who had already passed away in everyone's eyes, actually turned over and sat up.

A vibrant image appeared in front of Ying An.

"Congratulations, father! Your martial arts have reached the innate realm!" Ying An bowed slightly.

He had never imagined that the experience of faking his own death would allow Ying Zheng to successfully cross the realm of the Bone Refining Martial Artist and reach the first watershed in the martial arts path, the level of the Organ Refining Innate Martial Artist.

Chapter 262: Mysterious Creation! The Transformation of the First Emperor!

Faking death is more than just stopping breathing on the surface. On a deeper level, it involves manipulating the internal organs.

And it was obviously because of this fake death that Ying Zheng, by chance, realized the mystery of internal organ training and instantly became a congenital martial artist of internal organ training.

Nodding slightly, Ying Zheng said, "An'er, you've done well. Even if I leave and go to another world, I can rest assured!! Now that you are the King of Qin, I wonder when you will send me to another world?"

Ying An knew very well that now that he had ascended the throne, it was the time when Ying Zheng was most suspicious of him.

He said without hesitation, "Daqin is currently preparing for the late king's funeral. The situation in Daqin remains stable. If my father doesn't mind, the sooner the better! How about we set off today without further delay?"

Giving Ying An a meaningful look, Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Okay!"

As Ying Zheng agreed, a figure suddenly appeared beside Ying An.

That person was the Lord of Mount Tai, who looked almost the same as Ying An.

After the Lord of Mount Tai appeared, he bowed to Ying Zheng and said, "Lord of Mount Tai, I greet the King of Qin!"

Although the Lord of Mount Tai and Ying An are completely two sides of the same coin, to some extent, the Lord of Mount Tai is also Ying An.

But just as the karmic connection between a ghost immortal and his previous life is severed after reincarnation, the Lord of Mount Tai clearly only recognized himself as Ying An, and did not recognize himself as the son of Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng, whose soul had already survived a thunder tribulation and no longer had the mystery of his incarnation, clearly recognized this. After a slight nod to the Lord of Mount Tai, he said, "After An'er and I leave, everything will be in your care!"

"It's my job!" said the Lord of Mount Tai expressionlessly.

However, Ying An did not say anything to the Lord of Mount Tai. Instead, he waved his sleeves, tore open the space, and took Ying Zheng straight to Loulan.

With the help of the special space connecting the two parallel worlds of Loulan, Ying An and Ying Zheng successfully arrived at another Qin Dynasty.

They traveled by tearing through space. From the moment they left Xianyang and the coffin of Ying Zheng until they arrived at the Xianyang Palace where the First Emperor of Qin was, it took less than a moment.

When the First Emperor saw Ying An coming back so quickly, and even had another self beside him, he was stunned at first, but then he quickly reacted.

"I didn't expect you to come so quickly!!"

"What do you mean, Your Majesty?" Ying An raised his eyebrows and asked, "Could it be that Your Majesty is planning to go back on his word?"

Without answering Ying An, the First Emperor looked at Ying Zheng and asked, "Are you really me?"

"I also doubt whether you are really me?" Ying Zheng said unwillingly.

The First Emperor nodded without comment and said, "I am a little envious of you!!"

The moment the words fell, the First Emperor unexpectedly said, "Come on!! I really want to relive the feeling of having a young body!"

"I also want to know what it feels like to unify the world, surpass the Three Sovereigns, and surpass the Five Emperors in virtue!!" Ying Zheng smiled slightly, glanced at Ying An, and took the initiative to walk towards the First Emperor.

The moment the two touched, a flash of light appeared, and the aging Ying Zheng and the young Ying Zheng disappeared simultaneously. In their place, there was a Ying Zheng who was clearly in between the two.

Ying An really didn't expect that the fusion of Ying Zheng and the First Emperor would be so incredibly smooth, as if there was some force in the dark that took the initiative to facilitate all this.

Unfortunately, even though Ying An had already experienced eight thunder tribulations and his soul cultivation, and in the Qi and Blood Immortal Martial Arts, with the help of the Immortal Monument he had refined, he was only one step away from reaching the ultimate level of Human Immortal Shattering the Vacuum, he still didn't notice the slightest clue.

It seemed as if the two Ying Zhengs should have been merged together so easily.

Looking at the First Emperor or King Ying Zheng of Qin who was standing there blankly and motionless.

Ying An couldn't help but feel curious. After the fusion, would the consciousness of the First Emperor or King Ying Zheng of Qin be dominant?

After a full stick of incense had passed, a terrifying burst of masculine energy and blood suddenly burst out from the First Emperor's body.

Ying An could even clearly sense that Ying Zheng, who had just broken through the innate realm of internal organ training, was now, with this brand new body, surpassing the realms of innate martial artist of internal organ training, grandmaster of marrow training, and martial saint at an incomprehensible speed.

It wasn't until he reached the Intermediate Martial Saint stage, where the fist spirit and the mind were integrated into one, that the terrifying masculine energy and blood gradually subsided.

"An'er!" The First Emperor slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with complexity as he spoke, "I... no... I really have to thank you this time! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to so easily push my physical body to the same martial arts realm as my soul!"

Ying An frowned and said, "Should I call you Father or Your Majesty?"

The First Emperor said with a hint of regret, "I am your father, King Ying Zheng of Qin. I am also the First Emperor of Qin!!"

After a slight pause, the First Emperor quickly explained his current situation.

It was well known that the human immortal martial arts and the divine soul immortal path were incompatible when one reached the state of unity of body and soul. Unless one could forcibly push the martial arts path further by achieving the state of no thought, at this stage, anyone could only choose between the divine soul and the martial arts.

However, the soul of Qin King Ying Zheng had already reached the realm of a thunder tribulation. However, the First Emperor had not truly embarked on the cultivation of the soul immortal path or the martial arts immortal path.

Given their singular essence, the fusion of Qin King Ying Zheng and the First Emperor was a doubled power in their essence. While the First Emperor's spirit and memories were absorbed by Qin King Ying Zheng, his spirit itself had become one with their physical bodies, completing the process of spiritual and physical unity.

Not only did his spirit and soul consolidate the pure yang thought of the thunder tribulation, but his physical body also reached the level of an intermediate martial saint.

One has to admit that the fusion of two identical individuals from parallel worlds revealed a mysterious creation that even Ying An, who had experienced eight thunder tribulations, was moved by.

However, although the soul is based on Qin King Ying Zheng, the physical body is based on the First Emperor.

But the consciousness of the two finally merged completely into one.

King Ying Zheng of Qin was the First Emperor, and the First Emperor was King Ying Zheng of Qin.

Of course, for Ying An, the fusion of the two is not entirely a good thing.

Apart from anything else, the First Emperor had already completely lost all hope for family affection, and this also affected the individual after the fusion.

Even though King Ying Zheng of Qin and Ying An had a deep affection for each other before, that affection eventually faded.

"I am now the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, the First Emperor." His gaze fixed firmly on Ying An, the First Emperor, he said, "I am passing on the throne of Qin to you. I hope you can pass on the techniques of refining incense to me!"
