Now, thousands of years had passed, and the world was divided amongst many. Great Qin, a latecor, had nevertheless overpowered the strong, accomplishing what no one had managed in millennia. For a ti, Great Qin's reputation soared to an unprecedented peak. The nas of Gu Xing, the Great Qin Saint Emperor, and Shen Changqing, the Great Qin Defender, once again resounded throughout the world. The forr was now the Emperor of Great Qin; with the world unified, he was the sole Emperor. As for the latter, Great Qin's unification was entirely due to him. Had it not been for Shen Changqing, Great Qin would not only have struggled to subdue Great Liang and Dayue but would have been fortunate rely to avoid annihilation by them.
While the outside world was in an uproar, Shen Changqing paid it no mind. After leaving the imperial court, he returned to the Demon-Subduing Division and once again entered a state of seclusion. The Heart of Spirit Vein had yet to be completely refined. He had erged prematurely last ti because the avatar he left at Fallen Saint Pass was disturbed, prompting him to temporarily leave seclusion and head to Luo'an Prefecture. Thus, it could be said he had been forced out of his retreat. Now that the issue was resolved, Shen Changqing naturally resud the refinent of the Heart of Spirit Vein.
He had a premonition. When he officially refined the Heart of Spirit Vein, there was a strong possibility he would imdiately break through to Immortal Golden Body Realm Perfection. Subsequently, he could go to Great Liang and Dayue, execute the imprisoned Demon Evils there, and the Slaughter Value collected might allow him to break through further, into the next realm. If that happened, he might step into the God Realm ntioned by the Mount Tai Prefecture Lord. However, judging by the transition from Heaven Being to the Immortal Golden Body Realm, Shen Changqing couldn't be one hundred percent sure that the next realm was rely equivalent to the God Realm. It wasn't impossible that it surpassed the God Realm. Of course, if that were the case, it would be even better.
"Once the Immortal Golden Body Realm reaches Perfection, I shall head to Great Liang and Dayue to harvest all the sealed Demon Evils there. Then, moving forward, I will officially propagate martial prowess throughout the world."
Shen Changqing had a rough plan in mind. The reason he had so quickly aided Great Qin in subjugating Great Liang and Dayue was precisely because of this idea. Without the true unification of the Human Clan, it was impossible to propagate martial prowess throughout the world. Only with unification could the subsequent plans be implented. Otherwise, if martial prowess were promoted rashly, even if the overall strength of the Human Clan improved, disputes would inevitably escalate. If war broke out, the destiny of the Human Clan would surely be damaged. That would be contrary to his original intention. Shen Changqing's goal in doing all this was to increase the Human Clan's destiny and prolong the duration of the seal, not to diminish it.
He focused his mind, and the Heart of Spirit Vein continued its refinent. Ti flowed.
「Soon, two months had passed.」
During these two months, Shen Changqing remained in the Demon-Subduing Division without erging. Anyone who wished to visit was intercepted by Tiankui. anwhile, news of Great Liang and Dayue submitting to Great Qin also spread far and wide. Throughout the territories of Great Qin, joyous celebrations abounded.
Two ornate carriages were slowly entering the Capital City.
Inside one, the Liang Emperor listened to the sounds from outside. This is the Great Qin Capital; it truly is extraordinarily prosperous. Even without lifting the curtain, he felt as though he could see the surroundings. After receiving Great Qin's edict, although reluctant, he had no choice but to co. There was no alternative; the situation was stronger than the man. Especially since Great Liang had already agreed to be incorporated into Great Qin, there was no possibility of rejecting Great Qin's edict. Unless… Great Liang decided to completely sever ties with Great Qin? But… Thinking of Shen Changqing's existence, the Liang Emperor ultimately did not make such a decision. He was certain that if he were to break with Great Qin, his Imperial Family would likely be wiped out by the next day. The bloodline of the Great Liang Imperial Family could not be extinguished like that. Therefore, the Liang Emperor could only swallow his pride. He felt even more resigned, especially after hearing that Emperor Yue had also submitted to Great Qin. Sotis, things are strangely consoling. If one is the only person in despair, there is much unwillingness, but seeing others in the sa situation can bring a sense of relief. Misery loves company; it truly is a consolation.
「Within the Capital City,」
Many eyes were on the two carriages. They were extraordinary, escorted by heavy guards. Coupled with the rumors that the Emperors of Great Liang and Dayue were en route to the Great Qin Capital, many insightful people imdiately guessed the identity of the passengers.
「In a tavern,」
Soone raised a wine cup, their eyes full of amazent. "It seems the Emperors of Great Liang and Dayue really have co to Great Qin!"
No matter the rumors, nothing was as convincing as seeing it with one's own eyes. At this point, the reasons for the arrival of the Liang Emperor and Emperor Yue were self-explanatory; the rampant rumors had been confird.
At that mont, soone in the tavern said, "In my opinion, Defender Shen is the most formidable! Consider that person from the Great Liang Demon Suppression Departnt who broke through to the legendary Saint Rank. He commanded an army of five million, aided by three million troops from Dayue—a total of eight million soldiers—to attack Luo'an Prefecture. Yet, as soon as he broke through, Defender Shen slew him before Fallen Saint Pass, and the eight million-strong army fled in disarray. Not only that, Defender Shen single-handedly entered the capitals of Great Liang and Dayue, forcing them to submit to our Great Qin. If it weren't for him, they wouldn't have conceded so readily!"
His words imdiately provoked responses from many others in the tavern.
