The process of deification began with the discovery of hidden information in divine objects.

"White bones lie buried beneath ancient armor, amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood I walk alone; the yellow sands have washed away the tears of heroes, only the green mountains remain as they were!"

"They're all dead! Everyone's dead! Four hundred thousand people were buried in the Changping pit. How can they face the living after their deaths!"

The figure stumbled over, muttering incessantly. His armor was stained with blood and rust, indistinguishable from the other, leaving only a black, sticky mess.

He had a bronze sword at his waist, and he gripped the hilt tightly in his hand, but the blade was pitted and uneven, making it look more like an iron rod.

"Lord Wu'an?"

Su Ziye asked tentatively, and the figure raised his eyes, but his eyes were extremely cloudy.

"Who are you……"

"Junior Su Ziye."

"Oh, I remember now."

Bai Qi gently patted his head.

He then looked at the space to the side and raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Stop hiding, come out! I hate people who hide their true selves!"

hum!

A flash of blood appeared and then vanished, revealing Ain's figure before Su Ziye's eyes.

Pointed ears, bloodshot eyes, fair skin, tall figure, but his gaze was unusually gloomy!

"Aion!"

Su Ziye's eyes flashed with killing intent!

"Hmph! Human! Once we get out of here, you'll be the first person I kill!"

He glared fiercely at Su Ziye.

"Have you two both come for my tiger tally?"

Bai Qi's murky gaze swept over the two of them, his expression calm and unwavering.

To be honest, the frail old man in front of him, with his unsteady steps and withered expression, was completely different from the aura of the ruthless, murderous god that Su Ziye had imagined!

He's more like an elderly retired veteran.

"Lord Wu'an, your tiger tally was awakened by me collecting blood. This brat just got lucky and snatched it from me!"

"Of the hundred people whose blood was donated, a full ninety-seven had blood donated by me. In your Chinese parlance, he's nothing but a cowardly opportunist who steals credit!"

Ai En pointed at Su Ziye and accused him in a cold voice.

"You're right. I hate those who steal credit the most. I know a little about what's happening in the outside world, and I'm not stupid. I know perfectly well who collected the blood!"

Ain was overjoyed!

"So... Your Excellency Lord Wu'an has decided to choose me?"

Bai Qi stroked his white beard and then nodded.

"Since the vast majority of these hundred people's blood comes from you, I should naturally choose you. But before that, I have a question for you: do you know what my title is?"

"Lord Wu'an."

"Indeed, Lord Wu'an, do you know what the characters 'Wu'an' mean?"

Ain was stunned.

"To stop war with force, to stabilize the nation and secure peace, to punish injustice, and to bring tranquility to the world—this is true martial peace!"

Su Ziye bowed and replied.

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction.

"That's right, so..."

His expression suddenly changed!

"Do you think I would forgive you for killing hundreds of innocent people just to awaken the Tiger Tally for your own selfish desires?!"

"A hundred civilians—I must awaken them with their blood! Such a disgrace is the greatest shame of my life! You're right, I will choose you! I will choose… to kill you!"

That's all!

Clang!

Bai Qi drew his bronze sword from his waist, accompanied by a buzzing sound!

Ain trembled violently in fright. When he met Su Ziye's amused smile, he understood everything and felt a chill run down his spine.

"You...you tricked me!?"

He roared angrily at Su Ziye!

"You want my Chinese treasures? But you seem to have a shallow understanding of Chinese history. If I don't swindle you, who else am I going to swindle?"

Su Ziye scoffed.

Bai Qi was no ordinary man. Although he massacred more than 400,000 Zhao soldiers in the Battle of Changping, he was not a bloodthirsty person. On the contrary, he was fierce and upright.

After the war, he opposed continuing the attack on Zhao, which led to conflicts with King Zhaoxiang of Qin and Fan Sui, ultimately forcing him to commit suicide.

He sighed deeply before he died.

"I deserve to die. In the Battle of Changping, hundreds of thousands of Zhao soldiers surrendered, but I tricked them and buried them all alive. That is enough to warrant my death."

This clearly shows that Bai Qi felt guilty, but at that time everyone was fighting their own battles and there was nothing he could do. Now that China is unified, what difference is there between the people of the world and the people of the Qin Dynasty?

As a result, you, Aion, a foreigner, killed nearly a hundred ordinary people within China's borders in order to seize the Chinese heritage, using their blood to fill the Tiger Tally. If Bai Qi doesn't chop you into minced meat, he wouldn't be worthy of the title of Lord Wu'an!

You still have the audacity to want to inherit the legacy? Your Uncle Bai Qi will just gracefully swing his sword and send you to meet the lonely souls of Changping!

"run!"

Seeing that things were not going well, Ain turned and ran!

"You think you can escape now that you're in! Even Lian Po, though old, can't eat. Do you think I'm truly too old to wield a sword?"

Bai Qi was furious and immediately unleashed a fierce slash with his sword!

In an instant, Su Ziye felt a terrifying pressure that seemed to threaten to annihilate the world!

The entire space of consciousness, the yellow sand ruins, the mountains of corpses and the sea of ​​blood seemed to tremble, even the sky changed color, the thick blood color pressed down, covering the clouds and the sun!

At this moment, the god of slaughter descends upon the world!

"This killing intent...it's terrifying!"

Su Ziye felt a chill run down her spine; such a chilling and vast killing intent was emanating from Bai Qi's thin and frail body!

Pfft!

So frightened that Ain's knees buckled and she knelt down in front of Bai Qi and Su Ziye!

The murderous aura surged from all directions; there was no way to escape, and there was nowhere to run. They could only obediently wait for their deaths!

"Lord Wu...Lord Wu'an...I...I know I was wrong! Forgive me! Please forgive me!"

Aien was so scared that he wet himself, while Bai Qi's hair danced wildly and his white beard trembled as he pressed forward step by step with his bronze sword in hand!

"In my life, I have killed kings, generals, soldiers, the elderly, women, and children. I know my sins are grave, but for the sake of Qin's unification of the empire, I will gladly bear all the guilt!"

"But you... should not have used the blood of the people, the blood of the descendants of the Qin people, to water my tiger tally. This is a disgrace, a great disgrace to me!"

The killing intent erupted layer upon layer, each layer stronger than the last. The eighteen layers of killing intent descended, creating a scene resembling a living hell. Even without Bai Qi lifting a finger, Ain's body would be obliterated by this overwhelming killing intent!

"Lord Wu'an, spare my life! Lord Wu'an, spare my life!"

"You... your sins are unforgivable!"

boom!

As Bai Qi's sword fell, boundless killing intent gathered into a raging wind that filled the sky!

It completely tore apart the consciousness of the blood seed residing in Jiang Yue's body, leaving not even a trace!

Clang!

The longsword was sheathed, and the murderous aura receded like the tide, leaving the sky clear and bright.

"This is how I use my killing intent. From now on... it's yours to control. Remember, killing intent is a double-edged sword. If you can't control it, you'll create immense carnage just like me!"

Bai Qi sighed in regret.

His cloudy gaze fell on Su Ziye, and a rare glint of light appeared in his eyes.

"I have one last question."

"Please ask, General."

"If one day, for the sake of the peace you envision, you must bear immense karma and sins, boy... what choice will you make?"

"What did the general do?"

"I will bear the infamy for eternity and all kinds of sins on my own shoulders."

"The same goes for Su Ziye."

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction.

"Excellent, excellent..."

He immediately turned around and walked back into the swirling sandstorm.

"The yellow sand has blown away the tears of heroes, only the green mountains remain as they were..."
