The Great Qin Empire, or rather this Great Qin Empire established by Qi Refiners, possesses an immorial history.
After taking into account the ti differential between the Ascension Area and the Fallen Area, the history of that Emperor can be traced back as far as hundreds of thousands of years ago.
However, this is the history of that Emperor, not the history of the Great Qin Empire.
According to the archives recorded in chanical Taoist·Xuanji’s database, the Great Qin Empire with complete docuntary evidence was established roughly thirty thousand years ago.
Under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor, the Great Qin Empire overthrew the Gods who had ruled this world for tens of millions of years.
Then His Majesty the Emperor unified the Four Seas and the Eight Desolates, the Nine Provinces Immortal Realm, and established an absolutely unified state.
In this state, Gods are high-ranking officials who need to be registered; the relationship between all living beings and Gods is no longer that of livestock and master.
From livestock to slaves, from slaves to citizens...
The Great Qin Empire spent almost a full ten thousand years forcibly erasing the class and Power gap between living beings and Divine Spirits.
Universal Enlightennt Revolution, Cultivation Revolution, Industrial Revolution, Intelligent chanism Revolution, Hierarchical Revolution...
Under His Majesty the Emperor’s undisguised favoritism, and under the Gods’ helplessness, the living beings of this world launched wave after wave of revolutions that enabled mortals to shed their old skin.
At first it was rely the opening of the people’s wisdom, then the devolution of Cultivation Technique, and later the propulsion of overall social and civilizational progress.
His Majesty the Emperor valued every single Life under his command equally, and prepared a corresponding path for each of them.
Those with aptitude and talent could choose cultivation, gathering the mighty Power of heaven and earth into themselves, becoming Qi Refiners who could rival Gods.
Those without aptitude or talent would develop Technology, obtaining Power to contend with Gods through various ans of Artifact Refining and industry.
In this Great Qin Empire, every Life has its use, every Life is a screw that drives the Empire’s rapid advancent.
Until a little over ten thousand years ago, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly fell gravely ill.
The Gods who had been suppressed for so long finally could no longer endure this reality in which their rights and Power were stripped away, and seized the opportunity to launch a rebellion against the Great Qin Empire.
In that protracted War, the living beings of this world suffered heavy casualties, yet they also displayed Power not inferior to that of Gods.
Even without the protection of His Majesty the Emperor, those War machines forged by Qi Refiners and mortals could still force the Gods to retreat again and again.
Not only that, in order never again to return to an era in which they were herded as livestock by the Gods, the mortal legions, through years of continuous War, squeezed out an almost terrifying War potential.
The previously stagnant Technology tree developed at a staggering speed; Qi Refiners and Cultivators with extraordinary talent erged in an endless stream...
By contrast, on the side of the Gods, because of the banning of licentious worship and the severing of faith, their numbers and combat strength could not be adequately replenished.
Moreover, those newly born Gods, due to various ideological reasons, instead stood on the side of all beings and beca enemies of the Gods.
With one waxing and the other waning, this War naturally held no suspense in its outco.
Around eight thousand years ago from the present, the Gods either compromised, joined, or simply departed, and thus this War finally ca to an end.
Yet the end of War did not make this world any better.
On the one hand, the gravely ill Emperor no longer appeared, and no one knew whether he was still alive.
On the other hand, "Ga players" descended.
This world was chosen by Chaos God·Emperor Jiang as the backdrop for the True Ga.
Of course, ordinary people knew nothing of the True Ga’s existence.
According to chanical Taoist·Xuanji’s account, ordinary people rely referred to the era after the War as the "Apocalypse Era."
The Apocalypse Era dates from roughly eight thousand to five thousand years ago.
The appearance of "Ga players" greatly propelled the overall progress and iteration of civilization.
This progress and iteration manifested not only in Technology, but also in systems and concepts; the clash of institutions and ideas was likewise the most prominent hallmark of that era.
And it was precisely such clashes of systems and concepts that brought endless Chaos.
The players pursued the progress of civilization as a whole, as well as the rewards promised by Chaos God·Emperor Jiang.
As for the human condition beneath civilizational progress?
That was not sothing the players were supposed to care about; they would not concern themselves with the life and death of ordinary people.
Thus, all manner of technologies that violated human ethics, institutions that ignored humanity, and cold, unfeeling doctrines appeared in this world.
Every player who descended here would irresponsibly stir up Chaos before leaving this world, and then leave behind their own imprint.
Consequently, a very bizarre situation ca into being.
The players’ descent did indeed bring progress and developnt to the civilization of this world.
Yet this progress and developnt did not feed back to the broad masses at the very bottom; instead, it caused the people living at the bottom once more to beco the livestock of the Age of Gods.
No, the condition of the people in the Apocalypse Era was even worse than in the Age of Gods.
Because those upper echelons who held monopolies in Technology and institutional advantage simply did not care about the life and death of ordinary people.
More terrifying still, ordinary people might not even perceive this enormous conceptual gap, until the last shred of their surplus value had been squeezed dry.
Even the Gods who watched all of this from the sidelines felt a trace of chill at such hidden, cold-blooded exploitation.
......................................................
"The progress of civilization instead brought about ultimate oppression..."
"Because of years of brainwashing, ordinary people cannot even perceive the existence of oppression."
"They only feel that Technology is advancing ever more, yet their own lives have not seen any significant improvent."
"In the Age of Gods, ordinary people only needed to obediently be livestock, and everything else would naturally be arranged properly for them by the Gods."
"But in the Apocalypse Era, ordinary people not only have to be beasts of burden; their blood, flesh, bones, and even their souls will be burned to ashes as firewood."
When these words ca from Xuanji’s mouth, that icy voice could not help but send a chill down one’s spine.
"It’s not that no one is aware of this hidden exploitation, but what use is that?"
"The progress of Technology brings not only convenience in life, but also absolute Martial Power suppression..."
"Ordinary people living at the bottom can hardly co into contact with any Martial Power that could threaten the upper echelons."
"Faced with the oppression of Gods, all beings, under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor, took up arms in revolt."
"But when facing this group of their own kind, even the possibility of a figure like His Majesty the Emperor appearing has been strangled."
"This is fundantally not a problem that Martial Power can solve; they understand the human heart far better than the forr Gods did, and know even better how to quietly eliminate hidden dangers."
