Chapter 507 Why Do You Rebel Against Me? [Request for Recommendations and Subscriptions]

Only the Great Heavenly Venerable Haotian, seated outside the Nine Heavens and in the Lingxiao Palace, holding the Investiture of the Gods, watched all this with a smile on his lips.

All beings in the Three Realms and Six Paths are within sight, and any outstanding individuals are marked upon observation.

When they die in battle, their true spirits will ascend to heaven and be included in the Investiture of the Gods, serving as candidates for the Heavenly Court's deities.

The battle for the title of Gods intensified, stemming from an irreconcilable conflict between the two sides and the will of the Heavenly Emperor, the Dao Ancestor, who sat in the Nine Heavens. No one could disobey or escape it.

"The great waves wash away the sand, leaving behind only the inexhaustible blood of heroes."

Let me see how many heroes can make it onto my list.

"In the end, you yourselves must walk this ultimate path of humanity."

"Let me see what you can do without my leadership."

As more and more commoner martial artists reach high levels, the uprising grows ever more vigorous, like wildfire that cannot be extinguished and springs up again with the spring breeze.

Even a powerful state like Qin could not withstand it.

Ying Zheng had no choice but to find several nobles who had committed too many crimes as examples, confiscate their property and exterminate their clans in order to quell public anger.

The laws were revised, making the various exploitative and harsh punishments more lenient, and relaxing some of the laws that restricted cultivation resources.

It did have some effect, but not much.

It still cannot change the nature of the imperial court as a violent institution, nor its food chain nature, nor the current situation where nobles and wealthy merchants exploit and monopolize various resources.

So-called innovation often only scratches the surface, providing temporary relief but failing to address the root cause.

As a result, the fervent uprising did not subside much. The people, having gained more knowledge, would no longer be fooled by such superficial attempts to deceive them, nor would they be lured into the so-called offer of amnesty.

Having embarked on the path of rebellion, there is no turning back; we must persevere.

Otherwise, the outcome will inevitably be extremely tragic.

Faced with fundamental contradictions and fueled by various ambitious individuals, the flames of rebellion not only failed to extinguish but instead burned ever brighter.

The imperial court's resources were being rapidly depleted by the uprisings that were springing up across the country.

Many forces within the imperial court also joined the rebel army, turning their attention to rebelling against the court.

For example, many low-ranking soldiers, couriers, logistics soldiers, and laborers, as well as corvée laborers who suffered terribly while building various projects.

Coupled with the resistance from various ambitious nobles of the six states, the Qin Dynasty quickly lost all of its newly acquired space territories.

The massive rebel army marched directly onto their home planet.

With the people's hearts turned away, the laws of humanity rendered obsolete, the dragon's protective net collapsed, and the ancestral dragon of destiny teetering on the brink of collapse.

Wherever they went, nobles, powerful figures, and landlords were all wiped out, uprooted, and wiped out in one fell swoop.

They relinquished all the resources they had previously plundered and exploited, which were then divided among the rebels to strengthen their own power and snowball their influence.

At this time, the commoner rebels and the private army rebels led by the nobles of the six states were still in a cooperative relationship.

Xiang Yu went even further, burning his boats and destroying the last elite forces of the Qin Dynasty, annihilating the Great Wall army and the Golden Fire Cavalry led by Meng Tian.

The high-level cultivators from the various schools of thought not only did not help the Qin Dynasty, but also subtly restrained the court's experts and Ying Zheng, preventing him from taking action and confining him to the dragon throne.

After all, the First Emperor was too powerful, and the Qin Dynasty was too domineering, which was not conducive to their dissemination of the school's ideas and development.

While Xiang Yu was directly confronting the main force of the Qin army, Liu Bang, the sixth son, secretly led his men into Hangu Pass and won over the Qin people in Guanzhong.

It's worth mentioning that the people of Qin themselves didn't particularly like Qin Shi Huang.

Because of Ying Zheng's special experience, he naturally distrusted the Qin people. After unifying the world, the Qin people did not benefit much. Instead, they were heavily mobilized to suppress the world, expand the frontier, and build various projects.

The people of Qin suffered greatly; it was no exaggeration to say that every household hung white cloths.

Liu Bang, the sixth son, was truly skilled at winning people's hearts, if nothing else.

After Liu Bang entered Guanzhong, he not only did not commit any offenses against the people, but also established three laws, which greatly enhanced the goodwill of the Qin people.

However, since the First Emperor was still alive at this time, Liu Bang did not dare to go to Xianyang and risk his life. Instead, he dutifully spread his good reputation and influence and watched from the sidelines.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang followed suit and invaded, but their military discipline was not as good. Their ranks were large, and they included all sorts of people, most of whom harbored deep-seated hatred for their superiors.

There's not much to say; they just came out and robbed the big shots, plundering all the wealthy merchants, landlords, powerful figures, and nobles, killing, looting, and burning them all—it was nothing out of the ordinary.

This can be considered as clearing away the thunder for a new era of great order.

While it's inevitable that some might condemn everything outright, and that this approach is somewhat excessive.

However, if the cleanup is not thorough, there could be trouble later.

Soft nails can be just as destructive as hard nails.

Besides, which of those who get rich and wield power is truly clean?

Every bit of comfort and pleasure you enjoy comes at the cost of someone else's sacrifice.

Without accumulating wealth and harvesting crops, how can one build a manor and residence with just their own two hands?
I'm afraid someone will come up with a document the very next day, agreeing to the voluntary transaction.

In an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.

Xiang Yu quickly rallied his army and marched into the city of Xianyang.

And so, all the forces gathered in Xianyang.

The various schools of thought in ancient China also turned their attention to this area and paid close attention.

Everyone was waiting, waiting for Qin Shi Huang's reaction.

Everyone speculated whether Ying Zheng had any hidden cards up his sleeve, and what the outcome of the battle would be.

Surprisingly, Emperor Qin Shi Huang remained calm in the face of the Qin Dynasty's collapse.

He revealed his divine form, looking down upon the numerous rebel armies outside Xianyang City. Beneath the twelve tassels of his crown was a cold, expressionless face.

"I am the First Emperor, who unified the world and ended more than 500 years of division since the Zhou Dynasty. I standardized the width of carts and the written language. My achievements surpass those of the Three Sovereigns and my virtue surpasses that of the Five Emperors."

It is I who have spared you from the suffering of war.

It is I who provide you with food.

Why have you rebelled against me?

Xiang Yu spat disdainfully and said matter-of-factly, "How can I not avenge the destruction of my Great Chu and the enmity between my country and my family?"

"Even if Chu has only three households left, it will surely be Chu that destroys Qin!"

Chen Sheng stepped forward and solemnly replied:
"Your Majesty, though you have made great contributions, you have also committed great transgressions."

"Oh? What have I done wrong?" Ying Zheng lowered his eyes and stared at Chen Sheng, making Chen Sheng feel a chill.

Chen Sheng mustered his courage and said, "The First Emperor is tyrannical, and the Qin Dynasty is immoral. He doesn't treat us common people like human beings at all."

The Qin dynasty frequently conscripted laborers, imposed heavy taxes and levies, and enforced harsh laws, all in an attempt to divide us.

How many people died in distant lands?

They even tried every means to reduce our cultivation resources and hinder our cultivation to become immortals.

The hatred of obstructing one's way is even greater than that of killing one's parents!
Since the Qin Dynasty doesn't treat us like human beings, why should we be slaves and servants to the Qin Dynasty for generations to come?

"Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have the seed!"

In the end, Chen Sheng shouted angrily.

Many low-level martial artists were infected and roared in anger:

"Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have the seed!"

"Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have the seed!"

"Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have the seed!"
