Gao Wu Da Qin: You don't want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 365 A woman adorns herself for her lover, a scholar dies for his confidant; it's Brother Zheng who truly understands me.

"Brother Zheng is wise and brave; Qin Feng admires him immensely!"

"Actually, that desolate place called Qingming Tianxia isn't all that great! Any place, as long as its destiny gathers, will become a blessed land, abundant in resources!"

"The empire occupies a central position in the Pangu universe. Even if new regimes like Liu Bang, Zhang Bang, and Sun Bang were to emerge in the future, their ancestral roots would originate from the Pangu universe, and their dynasties would be inferior to the Pangu universe."

"Your Majesty need not worry about the threat posed to the empire by Liu Bang and his ilk!"

"Because they are not on the same level, they will not pose a threat to the Empire."

"On the contrary, we also have to pay tribute to the empire..."

Qin Feng spoke eloquently, making no attempt to hide his sycophantic attitude.

However, Ying Zheng was clearly not the kind of boss who was easily persuaded. He quickly interrupted Qin Feng, "Alright, let's get back to the point and talk about serious matters!"

"Are you hiding here trying to cause trouble?"

"Let me tell you, I spent a fortune to forge this Great Wall; the materials used alone exceeded the value of three Mars!"

"Don't damage the Great Wall!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, you have wronged me. How could I possibly destroy the Great Wall of Glory of the Empire? I only care about Your Majesty and cherish every blade of grass and tree of the Empire!"

Ying Zheng said, "Speak like a human!"

Qin Feng said, "Qingming Tianxia and I had a breakdown in our negotiations. Qingming Tianxia told me to wait and see, so I came back and plan to be the gatekeeper of the Star River Great Wall to stop the outside enemies."

Li Si couldn't help but say, "You alone? To stop the invaders? Young Master Qin, I'm not underestimating you, but the Boundary Sea is teeming with powerful experts. Can you handle so many by yourself? Can the Great Wall withstand it? And are you sure they'll invade here?"

Qin Feng laughed, "Lord Li Si, you're overthinking it!"

"I am known as the person in charge of Pangu, and I have some insights into controlling the Pangu universe!"

"Their intention to invade the Pangu Universe isn't that they can invade from wherever they want, but rather that I tell them to invade from wherever they want, and they must invade from there!"

"If I can't even do this much, how can I, Qin Feng, be worthy of being called the leader? What right do I have to sit in the number one seat in the martial arts world?"

Li Si continued, "Then you alone can't stop so many World Sea giants! We need to deploy troops, mechs, warships, and even war fortresses here! But you've sent all your troops from the East Sea to Qingming Tianxia..."

Qin Feng interrupted Li Si, "Lord Li Si, when one's realm and cultivation reach a certain level, the concept of quantity ceases to exist."

"The only premise for quantity is that everyone's strength is roughly the same."

"As for me, my realm is already high enough, and my cultivation is sufficient. I alone am enough to guard this Great Wall!"

"I even established a rule for this Great Wall: anyone I kill can leave a single word on it as a memorial!"

"Just think, many years from now, this story will surely be told as a beautiful tale and remembered by the world."

Li Si was very displeased by Qin Feng's arrogant and self-important words, which were almost suicidal. With his moderate thinking, he believed that Qin Feng was playing with fire.

No matter how powerful you are, there are so many experts in the Jiehai Realm, can you stop them?

At the very least, find some help!

However, Ying Zheng saw it differently. He recited, "Back in Longcheng, Gai Nie asked you what was most important for an empire. I remember you answered that it was an absolutely powerful warrior, an unparalleled expert who could single-handedly intimidate all invading enemies—that was most important for the empire!"

"Back then, when Gai Nie told me this answer, I knew that you were no ordinary person."

"Because you don't trust anyone but yourself!"

"You are an extremely insecure and self-centered individual, and someone like you joining the School of Diplomacy is destined for a brilliant and limitless future!"

"Back then, I told Gai Nie, 'This kid has unlimited potential!'"

"Gai Nie laughed and said that might not be the case. In his eyes, your martial arts foundation is too poor."

"Subsequent events proved him wrong, while you were right, and have remained so ever since."

"Everyone in the world says that you, Qin Feng, are all talk and no action, lacking the decisiveness you had when you first started out!"

"However, who in the world would know that you don't even have the desire to fight them? If you wanted to, you could even kill all those useless people in the Earthly Immortal Realm and write the Classic of Mountains and Seas in a single day, creating boundless merit."

A rare surge of emotion welled up within Qin Feng.

As the saying goes, a woman adorns herself for her lover, and a man dies for his confidant.

Brother Zheng understands himself.

Extreme insecurity, complete distrust of outsiders, trust only in oneself, narrow-minded values ​​and stubborn beliefs are all part of one's personality.

Even without pay, Qin Feng would accept guarding the Great Wall for someone like Zheng Ge.

Qin Feng strolled to the tall parapet in front of him, gazing at the dazzling starry sky in the distance. "I've given up on writing the Classic of Mountains and Seas."

Ying Zheng asked, "Why?"

Qin Feng said, "In the end, the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Investiture of the Gods are both the worst possible strategies. They are the means that Pangu Universe used when it realized that it could not maintain such a huge universe and could not shrink the size of the universe to protect itself."

"Because the universe's destiny is being plundered by the Boundary Sea, the will will continue to shrink, the core area of ​​the universe will also shrink, and the spiritual energy will become increasingly depleted."

"Under such circumstances, the ancient demon race of the past had no choice but to perish and were included in the Classic of Mountains and Seas."

"Now, everything has changed. The beings of the Pangu Universe are actively expanding outwards. They will rather die than let their fellow Daoists die, and they will rather die in other universes than let their own Pangu Universe die."

"Spiritual energy will only grow stronger and more revitalized! Under such circumstances, the glorious era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors will inevitably reappear. Wouldn't it be even more lively with more demons? Why bother killing all the demons and writing them into the Investiture of the Gods?"

"There's no need! Spiritual beings born under the will of the universe are all children of the will of the universe itself. They all have feelings. Unless absolutely necessary, no parent would willingly kill their own child."

Ying Zheng took a deep breath. "So, this is also why you've been so vehemently advising me against large-scale massacres, trying to minimize the internal conflicts within the Pangu Universe?"

Qin Feng smiled and said, "That's part of the reason."

Li Si couldn't help but ask, "Then, does this mean that Qin Feng can now communicate directly with the will of the universe?"

Qin Feng didn't reply, but simply smiled silently, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the end of the starry sky.

No answer is an answer.

How should Qin Feng answer this kind of question?

Answer: I can communicate with the Pangu Universe, and I even swear an oath that the will of the Pangu Universe will come out to watch the show? Then you'll definitely make me ask the Pangu Universe a million questions!

Can I ask? What the hell?!

Pangu Universe only follows me and interacts with me when they want to see me make a fool of myself!

It's lazy and busy; it won't answer your questions! I might not even be able to find it!

Then you'll say I can't communicate with the Pangu universe.

If Li Si were to directly answer that communication was impossible, would he believe him?

Believe it for a second!

Li Si must have realized he was lying.

This is a classic example of a double-edged sword; no matter how you answer it, it's a dead end. So Qin Feng simply decided not to answer.

"It's getting late," Ying Zheng said. "We should leave! Take it easy!"

Qin Feng chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I always act with great discretion!"

"Let's go, Li Si!"

Ying Zheng turned around, and his figure vanished.

Li Si sighed, looking at Qin Feng before him, "If you really can't hold on any longer, just call for help. There's no need to stubbornly resist. If anything happens to you, it will be a major blow to the Pangu Universe!"

Qin Feng said, "Thank you for your concern, Lord Li Si. May you have a safe journey!"

Li Si and Ying Zheng disappeared from Qin Feng's sight.

Suddenly, in the starry sky, a young man sat atop a dragon's head on a majestic Great Wall that stretched like a giant dragon, gazing up at the stars and awaiting the arrival of his enemy.

I really hope we can get a few more good fighters!

I've been sharpening this sword for far too long!

I have no idea how strong I am now!

In this situation, it would be best if one or two Kings of the Realm could come!

While Qin was preoccupied with his enemies, Qin Feng's enemies were furious.

Azure sky above, Magu Mountain, Golden Dragon Cave.

"Report! Two Venerable Realm Kings from the Barbarian God Universe have stated that because the Barbarian God has issued a directive prohibiting interference in the affairs of the Pangu Universe, they are currently confined to the Barbarian God Universe and are unable to come out to help us."

"Report! William VII of the Holy Light Universe has stated that he is genuinely sincere and willing to help us fight against the Pangu Universe, but he is not the ruling king. At most, he can only provide us with all assistance other than direct help!"

"The World Honored One of the Sixth Supreme Universe of the Western Religion of the Ayu Dynasty has sent an envoy to convey the World Honored One's oral message. The World Honored One does not wish for conflict between our two universes, as this would only benefit the Barbarian God Universe of the Fourth Supreme Universe. The World Honored One advises us to sit down and resolve the conflict peacefully, and is willing to act as a mediating third party..."

"..."

One after another, internal intelligence reports were sent out, and for a moment, the Golden Dragon Cave was filled with the smell of gunpowder, as if it could explode at any moment!

If nothing unexpected happens, according to Qingming Tianxia's plan, the day after Qin Feng refused to pay compensation, a joint punitive action against the Pangu Universe will be launched.

This punitive operation was jointly carried out by the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh supreme universes.

Such a cosmic alliance, the five major cosmic groups, would make even the First High Martial Universe and the Second Mechanical Universe think twice before facing it.

Qingming Tianxia was very confident that these five major cosmic army groups were enough to crush the Pangu Universe, completely disintegrate their empire, and give them a lesson as heavy as the Investiture of the Gods!

However, in reality, when it comes to actually getting started...

The Fifth Buddhist Universe and the Sixth Holy Light Universe directly switched sides and became a third party. They even shamelessly declared that we want peace, not war, and that everyone should stop fighting!

Damn, how dare you two say such things? When you two were fighting and killing each other, did we ever criticize you?

Pangu Universe really beat you both up badly! Now you're trying to be nice guys?

The fifth and sixth universes are just infuriating, but the seventh universe is infuriating!

The Seventh Universe has always been described as a leaderless state. Whenever chaos occurs in any universe, the Seventh Universe must intervene. Its main focus is on participation!

Did you participate this time?

I participated!

The quality inspector from the giant company, Ren Dongxi, ran straight to the other side!

As a rogue cultivator in the universe, in theory you can say that whatever you do only represents yourself, and you can also go to the Seventh Universe and ask some experts to come to Qingming Tianxia!

Strangely, the Seventh Supreme Universe has unusually declared this time that we are in a neutral position and that nothing is related to us.

Isn't this tantamount to directly aiding the Pangu Universe?

Then some people might ask, what about the Primal Universe?

The relationship between the Barbarian God Universe and the Azure Netherworld can hardly be described as a close family; they are more like fire and water.

The Barbarian Universe itself does not submit to the Azure Netherworld!

Because the position of third in the Azure Heaven Realm is one that the Barbarian God Universe does not want to give to the Azure Heaven Realm.

Barbarian God Universe only wanted to be number four; he didn't care who was number three. So when Azure Netherworld advanced, it directly bypassed Barbarian God and became number three!

There are powerful beings in the Barbarian God Universe willing to provide support, but the Barbarian Gods are unwilling, and they almost never respect the three founders of the religions. So, this aid is something that can't come even if they want to!

Of the four allies, two became centrists, one defected to the other side, and the remaining one was powerless to do anything about it!

What the hell is this?!

Just surrender!

The problem is that surrendering means ceding territory, paying reparations, and apologizing for one's fate!

Just think about Qin Feng's greed; he wouldn't be Qin Feng if he didn't squeeze every last drop out of Qingming Tianxia!

Moreover, the rest of the supreme universe is watching us!

At this point, Qingming Tianxia was in a dilemma. He wanted to fight Qin Feng, but he had no one to fight him. If he didn't fight, he would lose face.

Inside the Golden Dragon Cave, the two True Immortals, Yu Ding and Huang Long, who had once chatted and laughed with Qin Feng, now stared at each other, their faces full of anger.

Yu Ding said, "These cosmic allies, who usually call each other brothers and are united in friendship, all act the same way when they encounter a tough opponent. They really can't be relied on!"

Master Huanglong took it all in stride, saying, "The Holy Light Universe has already fought with Qin Feng and even suffered a great loss. Otherwise, the Holy Light Universe wouldn't have given us false information about Qin Feng, making us underestimate his strength."

"The Western Buddhist universe is an important partner in the next Pangu universe. The Buddha is a cunning old fox; he doesn't want our affairs to interfere with their long-term interests."

"The Seventh Universe is just a bunch of scattered soldiers. Ren Dongxi is a lunatic and not worth analyzing."

"As for the Barbarian God Universe, sigh, back in the peak of the God Conquest era, we might not even be able to defeat it. Now that I heard that a new ancient Barbarian God has emerged in the Barbarian God Universe, I guess there's even less hope."

"In this world of Azure Heaven, it's a time of scarcity, and we, the Twelve Golden Immortals of Taiyi, are already struggling to maintain a semblance of dignity through patchwork repairs. We never expected the Pangu Universe to come and extort us!"

"Ah, if the founder were still alive, all these problems would no longer be problems!"

Yu Ding looked at Huang Long and said, "Senior brother, what's the use of saying all this? Can this repel Qin Feng and save face?"

"Now that we can't rely on our patriarch, we can only find some of our own experts, a few giants and Realm Kings, to make a trip to the Pangu Universe and save face first!"

Master Huanglong said, "It's all talk. Do you think any of the disciples from the three sects can stand up to Qin Feng? You've seen Qin Feng's strength firsthand. He could manipulate the principles of the Dao of Things so skillfully even in an environment like Tianyuan. If he were released, he would only be even more powerful!"

Yu Ding stroked his beard, a glint in his eye, "As the saying goes, the one who tied the knot must untie it! To resolve the affairs of the Pangu Universe, it would be more convenient to have a master from the Pangu Universe intervene! Perhaps, we could try to find Peacock..."

Master Huanglong hurriedly waved his hand, "Are you crazy! That peacock is extremely proud and harbors great hatred for us. How could it listen to us? The Patriarch has said many times that the peacock must not be released. Aren't you going against the Patriarch's will?"

Master Yu Ding said, "Senior brother, are you confused! What time is it now? Our dignity is about to crumble. Don't think about it anymore! Release the peacock and let it deal with Qin Feng. It will definitely be able to fight him!"

"No matter which one of them dies, we're guaranteed to make a profit!"

"Besides, the peacock is so proud, it would never make peace with Qin Feng..."

No matter how Yu Ding tried to persuade him, Huanglong Zhenren just sat there, his brows furrowed, and remained silent.
