Chapter 506 The Investiture of the Gods [Requesting monthly votes and subscriptions]

Although the measures taken by those in power slowed down the cultivation progress of ordinary cultivators temporarily, they could not withstand the general trend and instead accumulated deeper resentment.

More and more people are choosing to escape Earth, this isolated island, and smuggle themselves into spaceships to mine resources in distant, unknown cosmos, in exchange for SkyNet cultivation resources, and wander or settle on other planets.

As more and more martial artists reached higher levels of cultivation, the forces secretly resisting the tyrannical Qin Dynasty grew stronger.

Ultimately, a large number of newly emerging high-level martial artists from ordinary people were unable to integrate into the power structure of the Qin Dynasty.

Therefore, they led a massive number of low-level martial artists in an uprising.

The conflict between the two sides erupted completely and could no longer be concealed.

The battle for the title of Gods has begun.

Elite commoner martial artists, in pursuit of a higher ecological niche, power, divine positions in the Heavenly Court, and a higher realm, clashed in a great war with noble elite martial artists.

Ordinary civilian warriors, in order to avoid being exploited, enslaved, and controlled, and in order to obtain resources and advance to a higher realm, went to war with the soldiers of the Great Qin.

From legion warfare to interstellar battleships to interstellar guerrilla warfare, from small-scale battles and probing to large-scale decisive battles.

Then it turns into battles between martial artists at higher levels.

The flames of this war of deification spread throughout the entire Milky Way galaxy.

Both sides are doing everything they can to defeat the other, gain dominance, strive for a higher divine position, and obtain the right to allocate resources.

At first, commoner martial artists were no match for these organized, structured, elite imperial armies and noble martial artists.

But the number of commoner warriors is huge. The death of a million people is only a minor pain, but if a million nobles die, they are not far from being wiped out.

Moreover, there are elites among ordinary martial artists; only through trials and tribulations can true heroes emerge.

Catalyzed by war, countless ordinary people with martial arts geniuses rose to prominence.

Using the resources and good fortune brought by the war, they overcame one obstacle after another, fighting their way through with blood and sweat, breaking through, breaking through, and breaking through again.

Although what lies beneath are mostly the skeletons of those who were unlucky or lacked the necessary qualities.

However, given the sheer number of participants, the high-level martial artists who emerged ultimately outnumbered the imperial court and nobility.

Having been tempered by war, their organization has caught up with the imperial army, and they are no longer a mob.

The scales of victory tipped in favor of the rebels.

The court nobles were also anxious and wanted to concentrate their forces to eliminate the main force of the rebel army.

However, the battlefield was simply too vast, encompassing the entire Milky Way galaxy, and the Qin Dynasty's power was simply insufficient to cover the entire war effort.

Moreover, the rebels had also learned the art of guerrilla warfare, and they loved to plunder grain and supplies, using the resources of the Qin Dynasty to nourish themselves and break through to higher realms.

No matter how wealthy the Qin Dynasty was, it couldn't withstand such a relentless and exhausting existence.

Moreover, as the rebel army grew stronger, the people who had been forcibly conquered and forced into labor were also eager to set off for the "Great Wall of the Milky Way Frontier," the palace spaceship "Epang Palace," and the star-sea mausoleum "First Emperor's Mausoleum."

Nobody wants to be a consumable item, right?

This forced the Qin Dynasty to expend even more resources to suppress these laborers who would occasionally rebel.

At this point, the Qin Dynasty was in a state of utter chaos, like fires breaking out everywhere and one problem only to be solved another.

Zhang Han said that if he were given an army of 50 convicts, he could crush the main force of the rebels and extinguish this spark.

Ying Zheng approved it.

So Zhang Han set off.

Zhang Han ordered Wang Li to lead an army to surround a planetary fortress base of the rebel army.

He himself led the main force to hide nearby, preparing to "besiege the point and attack the reinforcements," luring out the insurgents who were conducting guerrilla warfare in the Milky Way, and defeating them one by one.

At first, things went smoothly, and several small rebel forces were wiped out. Then... then the news spread throughout the various small groups of the Skynet rebels.

The rebel army suddenly became shrewd, united, and formed a large army. They acted swiftly and surrounded Zhang Han's army.

Zhang Han was startled. He knew there were many heroes, but he hadn't expected there to be so many.

Looking at the densely packed heads surrounding us from all sides, it was truly unsettling.

With the space sealed off and no hope of escape in sight, his plan to besiege the enemy and attack their reinforcements had instead turned into a situation where he was attacked from both sides. He was now trapped with the main force of the rebels in front of him and the rebel fortress behind him. His single-mindedness had turned into a double trap.

Zhang Han decided to fight a desperate battle, abandoning defense and focusing all his energy on offense to boost morale and fight side by side.

And then...and then he collapsed.

Not everyone is named Xiang Yu, nor is everyone named Han Xin.

Although Zhang Han was already a powerful cultivator at the Void Immortal Realm, he was no match for the combined strength of dozens of other Void Immortal Realm experts. He was ganged up on and nearly died on the spot.

His army of convicts was pierced by an army of millions of enraged civilian warriors.

When the army shouted slogans such as "Those who surrender will not be killed," "Destroy the tyrannical Qin, beat the nobles, distribute the land, and grow grain," and "All will be pardoned, resources will be shared, and we will all become immortals and live forever,"...

The army of convicts surrendered without batting an eye.

You should have said so earlier if you had these conditions.

Serving as a beast of burden for the Qin Dynasty is nowhere near as lucrative as directly robbing nobles.
That guy was so fat he was practically dripping with oil.

If you grab one now, you'll be worry-free for life, and you might even become an immortal!

Moreover, there is land to be distributed, and the grain grown there is a continuous supply of resources for cultivation.

If the Qin Dynasty remains invincible, then one might as well endure serving it like a beast of burden; perhaps by making meritorious contributions, one could even be granted a noble title and land.

But isn't the Great Qin Dynasty already teetering on the brink of collapse?

Besides, they can be said to have basically lost the battle now, so surviving is the most important thing.

Thus, Zhang Han died before his campaign could succeed, and his entire army was wiped out; some died, and others surrendered.

As for Wang Li, seeing that the situation was not good, he did not want to provide support, but instead wanted to run away.

Unfortunately, the space is sealed off, so there's no way to escape.

After attempting to destroy several ships, they had no choice but to join the battle.

Ultimately, their struggle failed, and they resorted to ganging up on the prisoners.

By the time the Empire learned of the news and Meng Tian led the Golden Fire Cavalry to teleport over and provide support, the place had already been cleaned up and was deserted.

Not only did various rebel armies rise up, but some nobles from the six kingdoms also took advantage of the chaos to start their own uprisings.

For example, the most famous one was Xiang Yu of the Chu Kingdom, or rather, Xiang Yu, the Dragon King of the West Sea, who led his Jiangdong troops to conquer and seize resources everywhere.

He couldn't wait for his "good father," Qin Shi Huang, to die soon; he was truly a filial son and grandson of the dragon.

Liu Bang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, also calmed down and, with his Pei County gang and peasant youths, secretly created trouble for the Qin Dynasty, seized resources, and strengthened himself.

The various schools of thought during the Hundred Schools of Thought period were not monolithic; many talented individuals emerged and stirred up considerable turmoil.

Although they share a consensus and tacit understanding on suppressing commoner martial artists, this does not prevent them from hindering the Great Qin.

Furthermore, the Qin Dynasty was a tyrannical regime, and the people there had suffered the hatred of national subjugation and the fall of their families. They also wanted to rise to power and become the next Qin Dynasty.

Therefore, the situation became complicated, with both sides tacitly suppressing commoner martial artists and confronting and interfering with each other, making this chaotic end of the Qin Dynasty and the Galactic version of the Investiture of the Gods even more unpredictable.
