Honghuang: Eat a Hunyuan Daluo

Shangjun was garrisoned by a million elite Qin soldiers, commanded by Meng Tian. Two years ago, Ying Zheng sent Fusu to Shangjun to learn military command from Meng Tian.

The envoys sent by Zhao Gao and Li Si set off almost simultaneously with Ying Zheng's entourage.

Ying Zheng and his entourage traveled day and night, their thighs raw from riding fast horses, but they finally arrived in Shangjun ahead of everyone else.

In the Qin army camp, a soldier rushed in to report: "Reporting to the eldest son, General Zhang Han is requesting an audience outside."

Meng Tian was taken aback: "Who are you talking about?"

"General Zhang Han."

Meng Tian was overjoyed upon hearing this: "I haven't seen him in a long time. Let him in quickly. But no, I'll go and fetch him myself."

Meng Tian and Zhang Han were once comrades-in-arms, but after Zhang Han took over the Black Ice Guard, he gradually faded into the background and rarely saw Meng Tian anymore.

Fusu also became interested: "General Zhang Han is here? He is Father Emperor's favorite general. I am in the ranks, so I should go out to greet him."

Fusu then walked with Meng Tian to the military camp and met Zhang Han.

Meng Tian laughed heartily and punched Zhang Han in the chest: "Why didn't you give me a heads-up before you came? I could have prepared a good feast to welcome you."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Han pointed with a serious expression to Ying Zheng, who was wrapped up tightly beside him.

Meng Tian glanced at them casually and said nonchalantly, "These are the soldiers you brought? They're bloated and obviously slacking off during training."

Zhang Han's expression changed slightly, and he quickly gave Meng Tian a meaningful look.

Meng Tian clearly didn't understand Zhang Han's meaning and asked with a puzzled look, "What's wrong with your eyes? Are they uncomfortable? Should I prepare some water for you to wash your face?"

Zhang Han sighed and decided to ignore Meng Tian altogether.

Meng Tian continued to court disaster: "I only said a few words to your personal guards, why are you so petty? I'm telling you, it's okay if they're a little chubby. As long as they train in my army for three to five months, all problems will be solved."

Fusu smiled warmly, saying, "General Meng Tian's words make a lot of sense. I was the same when I first came to the army camp, following General Meng Tian."

Fusu stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence, as Ying Zheng slowly turned around, removed the black cloth from his face, and said expressionlessly, "I also think what you said makes a lot of sense."

"This is..." Fusu and Meng Tian exchanged a glance, then froze in place, completely dumbfounded.

After a few breaths, the two came to their senses and were about to bow down when Zhang Han grabbed them, saying, "Young Master, don't bow. Let's go inside and talk."

After speaking, Zhang Han pulled Fusu with one hand and Meng Tian with the other, dragging them into the tent like puppets.

Once inside the camp, Fusu seemed to wake from a dream: "Father, why are you dressed like this in Shangjun?"

Meng Tian, ​​recalling his previous actions, wished he could slap himself a few times. His face turned pale as he said, "Your Majesty, I have offended you with my words just now. Please forgive me."

Ying Zheng glanced at the two men with a calm expression and gestured for Zhang Han to speak.

Zhang Han quickly recounted everything that had happened in the sand dunes to Fusu and Meng Tian.

Upon hearing this, Meng Tian slammed his fist on the table and roared, "This is outrageous! Your Majesty, please give the order, and I will immediately lead my troops to pacify them!"

Fusu clenched his fists: "To alter the imperial edict is a grave disrespect! How dare my eighteenth brother!"

In Fusu's view, although Huhai was unruly, he was still a child at heart, and he never expected that he would dare to change the will.

But Fusu quickly calmed down. He understood Ying Zheng quite well. He knew very well that Zhao Gao and Li Si's schemes alone could not possibly harm his father. His father's faked death and arrival in Shangjun must have other purposes.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng slowly spoke, "Great Qin appears to be unified, but in reality, undercurrents are surging beneath the surface. The reason I faked my death was not to deal with the likes of Li Si and Zhao Gao, but to counter all the undercurrents beneath the surface of unification! With them around, the peace of Great Qin will forever remain on the surface. Fusu, do you understand?"

Fusu nodded earnestly: "I understand, son."

"So what should you do next?"

Fusu pondered for a few moments: "Sitting in Shangjun with a million-strong army at my command, even if Qin is in chaos, I can restore order."

Meng Tian nodded in agreement. With a million-strong army at his command, they could easily sweep away all demons and monsters.

Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained. If you were here, would the hidden undercurrents have truly erupted?"

Upon hearing this, Fusu asked in a strange tone, "Father, you don't mean for us to fake our deaths like you, do you?"

"That's right, it's a fake death!"

Fusu and Meng Tian immediately showed a troubled expression. Meng Tian gritted his teeth and stepped forward, saying, "Your Majesty, if the eldest son and I fake our deaths, the million-strong army of Shangjun will be unable to be mobilized."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng smiled confidently: "It's alright. With me here, the soldiers of my Great Qin will not obey the orders of others. Moreover, with the Black Ice Guard secretly making arrangements, there is no chance of failure."

Now Fusu and Meng Tian had no further objections. Afterwards, Zhang Han gave the two of them two pills. These pills were called Turtle Breathing Pills, which could put people into a turtle breathing state, and no clue could be seen from the outside.

A day later, Li Si and the envoys sent by Zhao Gao arrived in Shangjun, where Fusu and Meng Tian personally came out to greet them.

The envoy, expressionless, produced the imperial edict and listed the crimes of Meng Tian and Fusu one by one. Then he loudly proclaimed, "His Majesty's decree orders the eldest son, General Meng Tian, ​​to commit suicide. Please, eldest son, General Meng Tian, ​​act swiftly."

Fusu gritted his teeth in hatred, but tears streamed down his face: "If a father wants his son to die, the son has no choice but to die." He then drew his sword and committed suicide, and Meng Tian followed suit.

The envoy clearly hadn't expected things to go so smoothly. He excitedly produced the second imperial edict: "His Majesty has decreed that we temporarily take over Shangjun."

That evening, Fusu and Meng Tian were buried.

Zhang Han then used the power of the Black Ice Platform to successfully switch the bodies and bring Fusu and Meng Tian back.

After the two men awoke, Meng Tian said with a worried expression, "Your Majesty, Zhao Gao and Li Si have already seized power. Once they return to Xianyang and enthrone the eighteenth prince, then..."

Ying Zheng closed his eyes slightly and said calmly, "Don't panic, stay calm!"

Returning our attention to the sand dunes, Ying Zheng's carriage, which had been stationary for many days, finally began to move. This time, instead of continuing his tour of the world, he returned to Xianyang.

Upon returning to Xianyang, Zhao Gao and Li Si immediately supported Huhai's ascension to the throne.

In the 28th year of Qin Shi Huang's reign, Hu Hai ascended the throne, becoming the Second Emperor of Qin. Immediately after his ascension, Hu Hai appointed Zhao Gao as his "adopted father," while Li Si remained the Prime Minister of Qin.

Hu Hai was unambitious and pleasure-seeking. After ascending the throne, he changed the laws of the Qin Dynasty, increased taxes, and cut the salaries of soldiers. Suddenly, the Qin Dynasty was in a state of turmoil.

Upon learning that Huhai had indeed ascended the throne, the remnants of the six former states eagerly instigated rebellions in various regions.

But during Ying Zheng's reign, the world was peaceful and the people had witnessed peace, so why would they want to be dragged into war again?
Few people from the original six states responded to the call, and the nobles of the six states had no choice but to use their savings to incite the people to rebel.

Thus, less than half a year after Hu Hai ascended the throne, war broke out all over the Qin territory.

Zhao Gao was possessed by his inner demons. He wanted to steal the emperor's fortune and strengthen himself, so he naturally wouldn't stand by and watch the Qin Dynasty perish.

Therefore, Zhao Gao began to send troops to suppress the rebellion.

For a time, war raged everywhere within the Qin territory.

At this point, Ying Zheng realized his mistake. His fishing attempt had indeed brought out the hidden enemies, but it had also greatly damaged the strength of the Qin Dynasty. After his death, could Fusu really protect the country?
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng dared not delay any longer, immediately regained military power, and launched a counterattack on Xianyang.

With Ying Zheng in command, the army marched unimpeded and returned to Xianyang in just three months.

Ying Zheng deposed Huhai, executed Zhao Gao by dismemberment, and exterminated his entire clan.

In consideration of Li Si's great contributions, his family was spared, and Li Si was given a white silk ribbon.

After doing all this, Ying Zheng's body could no longer hold on. He passed the throne to Fusu and then passed away.

This time, Ying Zheng truly passed away. His soul was protected by the Primordial Golden Immortal Dao Fruit of the Emperor's Path, and was later guided to the mortal realm by Shennong, where Nuwa created a new physical body for him.

Like Confucius, Ying Zheng could naturally attain sainthood and enlightenment given enough spiritual energy and time.

After Fusu ascended the throne, he abolished a series of absurd policies of Qin Er Shi and worked diligently to govern the country.

However, the First Emperor's fishing trip depleted the Qin Dynasty's vitality too much. The emperor's control over the Qin Dynasty was not as strong as it had been during the First Emperor's reign. Some officials began to reveal their true nature and oppress the people.

With Chen Sheng and Wu Guang proclaiming, "Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?" the Qin dynasty was ultimately thrown into chaos.

In a short period of time, numerous heroes rose up, and within just twenty years, the Qin Dynasty lost half of its territory, and the world was divided into three: Xiang Yu's Chu Kingdom, Liu Bang's Han Kingdom, and the Qin Dynasty, which occupied the largest territory.

Fusu was far superior to Huhai; he preserved half of the Qin dynasty's territory, and the throne continued for three generations until the fifth Qin emperor.

After Xiang Yu's death, the State of Chu was destroyed by the State of Han. During the reign of the fifth Qin emperor, Liu Che, a descendant of Liu Bang, captured Xianyang, thus ending the Qin Dynasty and allowing the Han Dynasty to completely replace it.

Humanity thus completed another cycle of fortune shift.

Everything in the human world has nothing to do with the gods and Buddhas in the heavens. Since the end of the struggle for destiny among the Hundred Schools of Thought, the human race has learned a lot from various powerful beings, which has made the human race more and more prosperous and its destiny stronger and stronger.

After sensing the changes in the human race, Bai Jing felt a huge weight lifted from his shoulders.

Over the years, he had been on guard against the evil thoughts of the Great God Pangu. As the battle in the depths of chaos intensified, Bai Jing's intuition told him that the Great God Pangu would soon be able to suppress the Great Millstone of Annihilation and bring it under his control.

At that time, he will surely wield the Great Millstone of Annihilation, intending to venture into the primordial world.

Bai Jing considered many countermeasures, the most suitable of which should be that after the second dimensional ascension of the Primordial World, it already possessed powerful defensive capabilities. With the Primordial World's own defenses, plus himself wielding the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe and the Four Extremes Venerable, Nuwa and Houtu working together should be able to withstand a real attack.

But if they want to launch a counterattack, they will need the human race.

Humanity is the protagonist of the primordial world. The stronger humanity is, the stronger the primordial world will be. Moreover, humanity has the Flame of Life, which can gather the will and power of humanity and empower one person, making it possible to contend with them.

This is why Bai Jing guided the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man, stirring up a hundred schools of thought in the human world, and encouraging the great supernatural beings of the primordial world to voluntarily teach the human race.

Of course, the best way to completely solve the problem is for someone in the primordial world to break through to the half-step Great Dao realm, or for the primordial world to ascend to a higher dimension again.

The former, Nuwa and Houtu, have little chance; only Bai Jing, who has the foundation of the Thirty-Sixth Grade Chaos White Lotus, has a chance to break through to the Half-Step Great Dao Realm.

However, if the other Ancestral Witches break through the seventh level of the Profound Technique and achieve sainthood in their physical bodies, they should be able to unleash the power of the Half-Step Great Dao Realm by setting up the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation with Houtu as the center and wielding the Heaven-Opening Axe.

The latter, through the third dimensional ascension, allows the primordial world to completely transform into a world identical to chaos. At that time, the Great God Pangu will ascend to become the Great Dao of the primordial world, successfully return, and smoothly break through to the Great Dao Realm.

For the Great God Pangu, who was at the Great Dao Realm, dealing with Zhen Na was extremely easy.

Bai Jing was advancing these two plans simultaneously. He had been in seclusion, and by the time his foundation became the Thirty-Sixth Grade Chaos White Lotus, he already knew how to break through to the Half-Step Great Dao Realm.

The Heavenly Dao Realm is the level at which one has comprehended more than one-tenth of the Three Thousand Great Daos, which is the entry level, and controls the Three Thousand Great Daos with the Great Dao one cultivates.

There are two ways to break through to the half-step Great Dao. One is to use one's own Great Dao to govern the Three Thousand Great Daos and transform the Three Thousand Great Daos into the power of one's own Great Dao. This is how the Great God Pangu's Law of Power works.

In the hands of the great god Pangu, the Great Dao of Time becomes the power of time, the Great Dao of Space becomes the power of space, and so on.

Another method is to fully comprehend the Three Thousand Great Daos and then merge one's own Great Dao with the Three Thousand Great Daos.

Bai Jing took the latter path because the Jade Disc of Creation was in his hands, and he mainly cultivated the Great Dao of Devouring. As long as he devoured the Jade Disc of Creation, he would naturally have complete control over the Three Thousand Great Daos.

However, the three thousand Great Daos on this Jade Disc of Creation are not complete. Over the years, Nuwa and Houtu have helped collect the remaining fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation, but there are still one hundred and three Great Daos missing.

While asking Nuwa to continue collecting fragments of the Jade Butterfly of Creation, Bai Jing instructed Houtu to search for the imprints of these 103 Great Daos in the cycle of reincarnation.

He himself began to devour the Great Dao within the Jade Disc of Creation.

The first thing he devoured was the small fragment of the Creation Jade Disc that he had picked up on Yingzhou Immortal Island. Of the three Great Daos within it, Bai Jing had already perfected the Great Dao of Devouring and the Great Dao of Weaponry. Only the Great Dao of Charm was not yet perfected. Devouring this small piece only took ten thousand years within the Time Domain.

After that, Bai Jing maintained a rate of devouring one Great Dao every ten thousand years within the time field.

Outside the realm of time, Bai Jing created an avatar to constantly monitor Sun Wukong's movements.

Sun Wukong is the chosen one of this great calamity. Although the concept of a great calamity is no longer applicable to the prehistoric world, it still needs him to drive the prehistoric world to complete its third dimensional ascension as soon as possible.
