Jackie Chan Adventures: I have everything I need now

"The Goddess Houtu knows that your demon race's Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation is unusable!"

"They specifically asked me to bring the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation Flags."

"As for how to activate the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, Her Majesty did not say."

"However, the Empress told me, Your Majesty, that you have a way."

Bai Qi glanced at Donghuang Taiyi, his tone indifferent.

If it weren't for his own ancestral witch goddess telling him that their witch clan was to join forces with this mortal enemy demon clan, he would have immediately drawn his sword and killed Donghuang Taiyi.

It wasn't that Bai Qi was arrogant.

However, even now, Donghuang Taiyi, who has been reincarnated and rebuilt his cultivation, is only at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level.

As a great shaman of the witch clan, his strength is unshakeable by anyone less than a quasi-saint.

Even a quasi-saint wouldn't necessarily be able to defeat Bai Qi, a great witch of the Wu clan at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal level.

Unless they are quasi-saints with extremely strong killing power, the powerful physical bodies of the Wu Clan can sweep away everything.

"Humph!"

"ridiculous!"

"How could my demon race's Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation be unable to be activated?!"

"Fellow Daoist, bring out the Chaos Bell and let me ring it. It will surely summon the old demon clans and activate the Zhou Tian Star Array!"

"When the war between the Lich King and the Demon King ended, the Star Banner that was used to set up the Zhou Tian Star Array was taken away by our clan's Demon Saint Bai Ze, and it is probably in Bei Ju Lu Zhou now."

Donghuang Taiyi shouted coldly, and a heavy atmosphere echoed in the Epang Palace.

If he hadn't been a remnant soul reincarnated and reborn to cultivate again, he would have only needed a few decades to reach the peak of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm once more.

Once again, he became the number one person below the sages in the primordial world.

Once one attains the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, one is granted eternity; not to mention the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.

Even if a being who has attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm is merely a remnant soul reincarnated, they may be endlessly trapped in the cycle of reincarnation.

However, once one embarks on the path of cultivation during a reincarnation, one can witness the speed at which a Great Luo Golden Immortal can cultivate.

Within decades, one can reawaken past life memories and regain the status of a Great Golden Immortal.

The same applies to the Primordial Golden Immortal.

"Brother Taiyi, there's no need to be so serious."

"The demon race's strength has long since declined; it is no longer the demon race that once dominated the prehistoric world."

Shen Du shook his head.

I really didn't expect that Donghuang Taiyi would be such a stubborn person.

"The strength of the demon race is indeed not what it used to be!"

"But in order to revive and rise up humanity and reverse the general trend of the world, I can tell you clearly, fellow Daoist."

"The Great Zhou Tian Star Formation is indeed impossible to set up, but the Lesser Zhou Tian Star Formation can be set up by just a few Great Luo Golden Immortals. This formation can unleash the power of a Quasi-Saint!"

"Even if my demon race is in decline, producing a few Grand Luo Golden Immortals is no problem!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Du's lips twitched.

He rubbed his forehead. "Never mind, Brother Taiyi, when do you plan to gather your old demon clan members to come and help us?"

To advance from the position of Son of Heaven to the position of Human Emperor, the first step is to free the human race from the control of the Heavenly Court.

For example, in the Southern Continent today, almost every city has a temple to the celestial gods, who enjoy the offerings of incense from the human race.

During the Shang Dynasty, the human race did not worship the gods and immortals of the Heavenly Court, but instead worshipped Nuwa, the Holy Mother who created them.

And those immortals who have made contributions to heaven and earth.

For example, the story of Hou Yi shooting down nine suns ended the situation of ten suns in one sky, and many people among the human race worshipped Hou Yi as a great shaman.

This is only the first step.

The second step requires holding the Kongtong Seal, a treasure of the human race, to offer a sacrifice to the primordial world, to proclaim to all living beings, and to warn the gods and immortals of the Heavenly Court that, on behalf of the human race, the shackles of the Son of Heaven must be broken, and the human emperor must be re-ascended to the rank of Human Emperor.

The primordial world here is not the primordial Heavenly Dao, but the primordial will of the primordial world.

It is less the original will and more the will of Pangu, the god who created the world.

Once the second step is completed, the Human Emperor will be reborn, becoming equal to the Sage.

As for humanitarian resurgence, that's a troublesome matter.

For humanity to be revived, the great calamity of the Journey to the West must be destroyed, the demon race must be revived, the dragon race must be revived, the Qilin race must be revived, the phoenix race must be revived, and the three sovereigns and five emperors of the human race, as well as many human ancestors, must be freed from the control of the Fire Cloud Cave.

The term "demon race" is the full name of the demon race and its various races.

The dragon race is the leader of the scaled creatures in the sea.

The Phoenix Clan is the leader of all birds of the sky.

The Qilin clan is the leader of all the beasts on earth.

The five major races—humans, demons, dragons, phoenixes, and qilin—have at least recovered to a certain extent, so they are no longer in a state of being half-dead.

In this way, the current patriarchs of the human, demon, dragon, phoenix, and qilin clans led their respective clansmen to proclaim to the primordial world that, with the will of billions of living beings, they would forcibly awaken the long-dormant and suppressed humanity.

As for why there is no witch clan.

That's because the Wu tribe is a race evolved from the direct descendants of Pangu.

Its mission in being born was to select the most qualified people.

They are neither within the Heavenly Way nor within the Human Way, wandering outside of both, existing solely within the Earthly Way.

How to revive the underground passage is unknown even to the gods; this matter should be handled by Houtu Niangniang of the underworld.

As for all these things, how could he, as a god, know them all?

That's because of the Kongtong Seal.

The Kongtong Seal has been with him ever since his avatar, Ying Zheng, was conceived and born.

The news that spread about the Kongtong Seal accompanying Ying Zheng.

How to unite is not something even God should worry about.

During the Lich Age, the demon race slaughtered humans to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword; this blood feud is irreconcilable.

But when faced with absolute self-interest, all other matters and grudges will be set aside.

The revival of humanity's liberation from the laws of nature is paramount.

Even the gods wouldn't believe that, given the current situation, the powerful beings of the human race would break ties with the demon race over this hatred.

If there are any grudges, please resolve them after humanitarian efforts are restored.

At this moment, Shen Du's words reached Donghuang Taiyi's ears.

Seeing this, Donghuang Taiyi said calmly, "I will now return to the Yin Yang School and order the Moon Goddess to immediately go to Beiju Luzhou and bring over the old demon clan members."

"I hope that by then, fellow Daoist, you will be ready for the prelude to the war between heaven and man!"

Shen Du smiled slightly, "Of course, this is a war between heaven and man, no, a war between heaven and earth, and between man. This war will determine the Human Emperor!"

As he spoke, he turned to look at the Great Shaman Bai Qi, who represented the Path.

He and Donghuang Taiyi represent humanity.

As for the Way of Heaven, who represents it? Naturally, it is the Heavenly Court.

"Good!" Donghuang Taiyi nodded, then his figure vanished into the void.

Shen Du watched him leave, then turned to Bai Qi and said, "Lord Wu'an, do you have any way to train the soldiers of my Great Qin to be able to rival the heavenly soldiers and generals of the Heavenly Court?"

Bai Qi's title in the Qin Dynasty was Lord Wu'an, and it was appropriate for Shen Du to refer to him by his title.

"Your Majesty, there is!"

Upon hearing this answer, Shen Du's eyes revealed satisfaction.

"Alright!" "Someone come here!"

Knowing that Bai Qi had a way to transform the Qin army into something comparable to the heavenly soldiers and generals of the Heavenly Court, the gods were completely at ease.

"See Your Majesty!"

Several eunuchs strode into the Epang Palace and bowed towards the capital.

As for Bai Qi, who hurriedly put on a black robe, they simply pretended not to see him.

These eunuchs were self-aware; they knew what questions they should and shouldn't ask.

"Summon all officials, I have something to give you!"

The eunuchs had different expressions, and Shen Du showed displeasure. "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"Your Majesty, it is now the hour of Si (9-11 AM), only an hour has passed since the court assembly. It is improper for Your Majesty to summon all officials at this time."

Shen Du immediately let out a cold snort, which frightened several eunuchs into trembling, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"

"No matter when I summon my officials, they must all arrive!"

Such an overbearing scene left the eunuchs speechless, and they could only nod repeatedly.

"Go!" Shen Du waved his hand.

Subsequently, several eunuchs hurriedly withdrew to relay the message to numerous civil and military officials.

Meanwhile, Shen Du and Bai Qi went to Xianyang Palace to await the arrival of the civil and military officials.

At this very moment, the civil and military officials, who had just finished their court assembly and had not had much rest, were suddenly summoned by their own Emperor Qin Shi Huang, and were immediately dumbfounded.
They were all exhausted. They had just returned to their residence from Xianyang Palace, and now they had to go back, such a long distance away. It was truly a nightmare!
Faced with the imperial decree summoning them, almost no one dared to disobey. They could only harbor resentment and rush towards Xianyang Palace without stopping.

Half an hour later, civil and military officials, sweating profusely, arrived at Xianyang Palace and paid homage to the divine capital above.

"Your Majesty, we pay our respects and wish you boundless blessings, peace, and longevity!"

"..."

"Ah."

Shen Du tapped the dragon throne, then glanced at the numerous civil and military officials, and said, "I have summoned you all here today because I have important matters to instruct you on!"

"May I ask what brings you here, Your Majesty?" Lu Buwei, who was originally the prime minister, had already resigned and retired to his hometown. The current prime minister of Qin was Li Si from the original historical record.

This was also why Lü Buwei was specially promoted by the capital after he resigned from his post.

Li Si knew that his current position was due to the promotion he received from the First Emperor, so naturally he wouldn't refute anything.

"From this day forward, all temples dedicated to immortals and gods throughout the nine provinces of the world shall be eradicated!"

"Our Great Qin, our human race, has no need for these so-called immortals and gods!"

Before Li Si could even speak, the numerous civil and military officials below immediately exclaimed, "Your Majesty, this is inappropriate!"

"How could our Great Qin Dynasty commit such a heinous act as destroying temples dedicated to immortals and gods!"

"This is practically a harbinger of the impending destruction of my Great Qin!"

"Those immortals and gods will surely cause trouble because of this, and they might even support the remnants of the six kingdoms to establish a new dynasty!"

"."

"Ok!"

Shen Du's tone hardened, and in an instant, the once noisy court fell silent.

"Immortals and gods? Useless things! We humans, we, the Great Qin, have no need to worship them!"

"If you, my beloved ministers, wish to make offerings, you may make offerings to our ancestors, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and many other sages of our human race!"

"And, the loving Mother Earth, Houtu Niangniang, and the Holy Mother who created our human race."

"These so-called immortals and gods have made no contribution to our human race, nor to the world at large. Are they worthy of our Great Qin's offerings of incense?"

"That's ridiculous!"

His words were full of disdain, even belittling.

This scene deeply saddened many civil and military officials who had genuinely dedicated their loyalty to the Qin Dynasty.

Why has His Majesty the First Emperor become so muddle-headed?!
Offending the gods and immortals would clearly lead the Qin Dynasty to its doom.

"Your Majesty, in our Great Qin, Wancheng and Shouchun are struck by plague. Rumors among the people say that Your Majesty has abolished the title of Emperor and proclaimed yourself the First Emperor. The gods in heaven have sent this calamity as a warning to Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, if you abolish the temples of immortals and gods again, the disaster will likely escalate even further!"

"Imperial Censor Feng Jie said respectfully, bowing with his hands clasped."

As the Imperial Censor spoke, many civil and military officials below who opposed the abolition of the worship of immortals and gods in the capital began to speak out.

They did it all for the sake of this statue of Emperor Qin Shi Huang retracting his decree.

Faced with the advice of these civil and military officials, the god did not speak, but instead looked at Bai Qi beside him.

At this moment, the eyes of all the civil and military officials also turned to Bai Qi, who was wearing a black robe and whose face was not revealed.

It was only after so long that they noticed someone standing next to His Majesty.

"Lord Wu'an, tell me, how should we resolve this so-called plague?!"

Upon hearing this, the pupils of numerous civil and military officials widened in shock.

Your Majesty, what did you just say?!

Lord Wu'an?!

The only one who could be called Lord Wu'an in the Qin Dynasty was that god of war, Bai Qi.

But didn't Bai Qi disappear many years ago?
All the civil and military officials refused to believe that the man in black robes before them was none other than Bai Qi, the former god of war.

"Your Majesty, I will deal with this so-called plague after this court assembly!"

Upon receiving Bai Qi's reply, Shen Du laughed heartily and said, "Good."

He then cast a cold glance at the civil and military officials, pointed to Bai Qi beside him, and said, "He is the Marquis of Wu'an of Qin. From now on, the army of Qin will be under the command of the Marquis of Wu'an!"

"If any of you military officers have any objections, you may seek guidance from Lord Wu'an!"

"Furthermore, regarding the abolition of the temples of immortals and gods, I will not change my decree; simply comply!"

These words caused an uproar among the civil and military officials.

"Ok!"

Upon hearing Shen Du's words, Bai Qi, standing beside him, drew his weapon, a weapon slain by countless lives. The pure killing intent emanated a chilling aura, accompanied by the illusion of clashing blades, echoing in the minds of the many civil and military officials. In an instant, they fell silent.

In reality, he was cursing Qin Shi Huang in his heart, calling him a tyrant.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, go and carry it out!"

Shen Du waved his hand, signaling the civil and military officials to leave the court.

Soon, the civil and military officials fled Xianyang Palace like locusts, fearing that disaster would befall them at any moment.

"I'll have to trouble Lord Wu'an to make the trip!"

Shen Du looked at Bai Qi beside him.

Bai Qi said calmly, "The calamity was caused by the celestial gods and immortals of Heaven?"

"Interesting. My hands are still unstained with the blood of immortals and gods. This time, I'll make them splatter blood on my sword!"

A chill swept through the entire Xianyang Palace, turning into a desolate, cold wind.

The guards at the gate couldn't help but shiver.

"After this plague is resolved, I will trouble Lord Wu'an to train heavenly soldiers and generals for Great Qin!"

"Your Majesty, there's no need to be so polite. The Ancestral Witch has instructed that you may give orders to Bai Qi for anything, as long as Bai Qi can do it!"

After saying that, Bai Qi transformed into a streak of blood-red light and headed towards the plague-stricken land.

Meanwhile, Shen Du sat upright on the dragon throne, his eyes closed, beginning to absorb the power of humanity transmitted from the Kongtong Seal. (End of Chapter)
