Da Qin: Conquer all heavens and all realms

Chapter 310: Shattering Heaven and Earth, Judgment of the Heavens

"Breaking the sky! Breaking the sky! Breaking the sky!"

The roars of hundreds of millions of Qin soldiers shook the universe, turning into an invisible torrent of will that was powerful enough to shake the stars, and slammed into the unchanging sky.

On the ruins of the ancient divine court, Ying Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, his dragon robe fluttering in the turbulent energy.

He felt the boiling fighting spirit of the soldiers beneath his feet, and the tremendous power emanating from the Xianyang city ship that spanned the galaxy behind him. The flame in his heart called "future" burned brighter than ever before.

"The sky is a cage." He whispered to himself, his voice not loud, but clearly heard by every Qin soldier, "I do not believe in fate, and I do not believe that this mere cage can trap the Qin cavalry!"

He slowly raised his hand and pointed at the sky that seemed empty but contained supreme pressure.

"I want you all to remember that from today on, the enemies of the Great Qin are no longer those so-called 'realm masters' and 'gods'. Our enemy is this world itself! It is the invisible shackles that have imprisoned the ages and the immortals!"

"I'm going to break it!"

"I want the Great Qin flag to fly outside the cage, above the real, boundless starry sky!"

"Would you all like to follow me and break open this sky together?!"

"I wish to follow Your Majesty and break open this sky!"

"I will follow Your Majesty, even if it means death!"

"Daqin! We will win!"

He was answered with even more fervent and resolute cries. These iron-blooded warriors, having fought their way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, might not understand the profound meaning of the "caged universe," but they held their emperor in high esteem.

Your Majesty says that the sky is the enemy, so they will regard the sky as the enemy! Your Majesty says that you want to destroy the sky, so they will use the swords in their hands to carve a bloody path to the outside world for Your Majesty!

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction, a flicker of approval in his eyes. This was his Great Qin, this was his people and his army. Undeterred by power, unafraid of the unknown, only an order of iron and blood, and unwavering conquest!

"Meng Tian!"

"I am here!" Meng Tian took a step forward, and the clang of his armor was as loud as a bell.

"Pass on my three orders."

"Your Majesty, please speak!"

"First, order the 'Heavenly Works Department' and the 'Mohist School' to join forces, using the Xianyang City Ship as the core. Integrate all captured pirate ship technology and all available materials from the ruins of the Ancient Divine Court to build me a true 'Heaven-Breaking Fleet'! The fleet I want must not only be able to traverse the heavens, but also be able to bombard barriers! I want them to be the first heavy hammer I use to break open this cage!"

"As ordered! I will immediately summon the head of the Mohist School of the Ministry of Heavenly Works to appear before Your Majesty!"

"Secondly, order the 'Netherworld Palace' to thoroughly investigate the heavens and myriad realms, collecting every trace of the 'Ancient God War,' the 'Unusual Changes in Heaven and Earth,' and the 'Depletion of Spiritual Energy.' I want to know what exactly happened back then? What kind of existence is hidden behind those five 'Boundary Stones'? Why did they build this prison? All clues, no matter how secret, must be reported to me! I want the whole truth!"

"As ordered! The Nether Palace will come out in full force, digging deep underground to uncover the truth for Your Majesty!"

"Third," Ying Zheng's gaze swept over the remnant soul of Xuanyuan Hao kneeling below, as well as the three pirates temporarily suppressed by the laws of the Great Qin, his tone becoming extremely solemn. "The laws of the Great Qin are the foundation of the empire. However, these laws are only used to restrain mortals and judge the heavens. Now, my enemy is the 'rules' of this world, the 'Dao Lords' who can 'destroy nations with a single thought'. Can my laws judge such beings?"

He paused, a hint of cold murderous intent in his voice.

"I want you to unite all descendants of the 'Legalist School', with the ultimate goal of 'breaking the heavens', and revise a new law for me! A law that can judge the 'gods', can judge the 'Way of Heaven', and can pull down even those high and mighty 'Lords of the Dao' from the altar to stand trial by the Great Qin - the 'Law of Judgment of the Heavens'!"

"...As you command!" Meng Tian took a deep breath, a turbulent wave rising in his heart. Judge the gods? Decide on the laws of nature? What an arrogant, overbearing idea!

However, looking at the emperor before him, who seemed to be trampling the entire universe under his feet, only endless enthusiasm and loyalty remained in his heart. Whatever His Majesty can imagine, the Great Qin can definitely achieve!

"Go back."

"I will take my leave!"

Meng Tian took his orders and left. Silence once again fell upon the ruins of the Ancient Divine Court. Yet beneath this silence surged an undercurrent powerful enough to subvert the entire universe.

Ying Zheng closed his eyes and sank into his own sea of ​​consciousness. There, Xuanyuan Hao's remnant soul was being held firmly in the Qin Empire's unique "Soul-Calming Lock," unable to move.

"Immortal Emperor, how do you feel?" Ying Zheng's voice echoed in his sea of ​​consciousness without a trace of emotion.

Xuanyuan Hao's remnant soul violently trembled, filled with endless humiliation and resentment. "Ying Zheng! You're just an ant who's been lucky enough to inherit my legacy, yet you dare treat me like this! Even though I've fallen, the power of the Immortal Emperor is beyond your reach!"

"Immortal Emperor?" Ying Zheng sneered, a laugh that seemed to emanate from the Nine Netherworlds, sending a chill through Xuanyuan Hao's remnant soul. "In my view, you are nothing more than a larger beast trapped in this cage. Your so-called 'Immortal Emperor's power' is nothing compared to the rules of this cage. You will ultimately end up with your soul annihilated, leaving only a remnant of your spirit."

"You...!" Xuanyuan Hao's sore spot was hit, and his residual soul almost collapsed.
