"Boom!"

Wu Ming's drumbeats were powerful and resonant, the lingering echoes reverberating in everyone's ears, seemingly piercing their hearts and igniting a fighting spirit that had yet to be fully awakened.

"wind!"

The Qin army marched in orderly and heavy steps, stirring the hearts of everyone present, and rearranged themselves on the Great Wall of the Nine Realms.

"Emperor Qin." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and the drumming of Wuming stopped abruptly: "These people once quelled the war and resolved the crisis in one region for Wuming. They are our Wuming's assistant kings. They are suffering, and we must take action."

“I never expected these people to be Prince Wuming. I thought they were just country bumpkins. Not only do they not know etiquette, but they also dare to contradict His Majesty in court.” Zhao Gao took a small step out from behind Qin Shi Huang and pointed at Lin Feng and the others, cursing, “Now that they have damaged the important Great Wall of Immortal Qin, they have angered the whole country of Immortal Qin. These princes should be killed as soon as possible.”

Before he finished speaking, anger rose on Zhu Yuanzhang's face. Besides being thoroughly scolded by Zhao Gao, what bothered him most was the self-reference Zhao Gao used.

Qin Shi Huang called himself "朕" (Zhen), and he called himself "咱" (Zan). Even a eunuch called himself "咱" (Zan). It was obvious that they wanted to humiliate him.

"presumptuous!"

Before he could get angry, a man dressed in a flying fish robe with black and gold python embroidery drew a long sword and slashed down at Zhao Gao.

Mao Xiang, Commander-in-Chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard!

clang!

Bai Qi raised his spear and blocked Mao Xiang's attack in one fell swoop, suppressing him.

"Emperor Ming," Qin Shi Huang spoke up, "is this boundary marker to be erected here?"

At this moment, the Great Ming Prison Stele has been embedded in the space. Before long, it will completely connect Wu Ming and Xian Qin. At that time, it will no longer be a matter of sending troops and exchanging empty words.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not answer immediately. Faced with the subtle pressure from Qin Shi Huang, he simply smiled and said, "Yes."

Qin Shi Huang's pupils contracted slightly, and a murderous aura slowly flowed across his brows before turning into icy indifference: "Meng Tian, ​​listen to my command."

"His Majesty!"

Meng Tian, ​​who was stationed on the Great Wall, immediately stepped forward to receive the order.

"Open the border for the Investiture of the Gods!"

After Qin Shi Huang finished speaking, Meng Tian hesitated for only a moment before replying, "Yes!"

Opening the borders—it's easy to guess what Qin Shi Huang was thinking at that moment: to fully integrate Wu Ming and Xian Qin, and to link the two worlds together!

"Mao Xiang!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, and Mao Xiang, who was confronting Bai Qi in front, immediately sheathed his sword and returned to Zhu Yuanzhang's side.

"His Majesty!"

Mao Xiang knelt on one knee.

"Open the Kunlun Heavenly Gate!"

"yes!"

Unlike the Great Wall of Nine Domains, which opened the border of the Investiture of the Gods, the spatial rift that opened behind the Prison Suppression Stele expanded a thousandfold in an instant, then summoned a celestial gate as large as Mount Tai, which crashed straight into the earth, nailing both the Immortal Qin and the Investiture of the Gods to its stone pillar.

"Zhao Gao, convey my decree..."

"Mao Xiang, convey my decree..."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Qin Shi Huang spoke at almost the same time.

"Whoever kills a Wuming general will be promoted to the third rank and granted the title of Realm Lord!"

"Whoever slays a general of the Immortal Qin will have all the martial arts techniques and cultivation resources in the armory unlocked!"

"Blue Jade!"

"Meng Tian!"

"kill!!!"

Rumble!

The sound of war drums suddenly rose, and Wu Ming's ships and ferocious beasts flew directly out of the immortal gate. In an instant, the fleet of Xian Qin arrived and surrounded them as if it were endless.

"Walk!"

Lin Feng reminded the stunned crowd and then turned to follow Zhu Yuanzhang, who had safely left the army.

"My lords, His Majesty has long planned to enter the primordial world, but he... feels there is no suitable person to change the established possibility." Before they could catch up with Zhu Yuanzhang, Mao Xiang, who had just made his move, ran to their side and whispered.

"Mao Xiang?" Si Zang quickly looked him over and asked about his identity.

"It is indeed I," Mao Xiang said, bowing.

"What change did you just mention?" Lin Feng asked again, mimicking the other person's gesture of cupping.

Mao Xiang quickly replied, "My lord, our goal is also humanity, but His Majesty does not want a supreme being of humanity who is no different from the Way of Heaven. In that case, it would make no difference who is the master of humanity, and it would even be better to... let the Way of Heaven operate on its own."

With that, Mao Xiang cupped his hands again and escorted a civil official to their side.

"I am Wang Yangming!" Wang Yangming was dressed as a civil official, but his clothes, like Mao Xiang's, were embroidered with python patterns.

"Oh!" Lin Feng's eyes widened in surprise, and even the people next to him stared at him intently.

"Gentlemen... there's no need to be so abrupt. Although I am Wang Yangming and also founded the School of Mind, there are significant differences between me and the one you hold in your hearts." Wang Yangming said slowly, "What I think and learn is based on martial arts, and I sort it out from the principles of martial arts. There are some fundamental differences between my ideas and yours."

"Mmm..." Lin Feng nodded heavily, then asked, "May I ask, why have you come to see us?"

"His Majesty said there are some changes in you, and he wants me to follow you. If we can find something special, perhaps we will find the changes we are looking for," Wang Yangming said. "You can ignore my presence. If there is any crisis, I will lend a hand."

"Hmm." Si Zang chuckled inwardly, then shamelessly moved closer: "You're too kind. Let's talk about this slowly. Why don't you tell us about your enlightenment in Longchang?"

"Alright, alright, business is important. Can't you see the fighting is still going on up there?" Tang Hong grabbed Si Zang and pulled him away from Wang Yangming, then gave Lin Feng a wink.

After receiving the document, Lin Feng first bowed to Wang Yangming, then asked Mao Xiang again, "What is your plan?"

"Us?" Mao Xiang was taken aback. "Our plan is to follow your instructions."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Zhu Yuanzhang's voice rang in their ears: "Come in."

Come in?

Unbeknownst to them, they had arrived at the Kunlun Immortal Gate. A celestial palace stood beside the gate, and more civil officials dressed in the same clothes as Wang Yangming had gathered there.

But none of them went inside.

"Whatever, is this what you experienced before?" Si Zang recalled what they had discussed in the communication: "Looking at it this way, the Investiture of the Gods doesn't seem so impressive. The three religions have been operating for tens of thousands of years. The Human Religion only has one senior disciple, the Chan Religion only has twelve troublemakers, and the arrival of ten thousand immortals in the Jie Religion is just a minor disturbance."

“In the end, they still don’t care. Mortals are like ants.” Yuan Qixuan said, “No, they should say mortals are like ants. They only treat humans as the main characters, never as human beings or as life. If it weren’t for the fact that human form is an innate Dao body, humans… might not even be human.”

“Yes, the Investiture of the Gods seems to have happened to the human race, but in reality, humans are the most insignificant thing here.” Yu Sheng said as he walked towards the Immortal Palace: “If you think about it from the bottom of your heart, whether it is the Yin Shang and Xi Qi, or the Human Emperor and the Son of Heaven, if you replace the humans here with shamans, wouldn’t it be the same? Everyone has a human form, and humans are just a humanoid species that has a human form and has the advantage of innate Dao bodies.”

"Ugh, you guys overthink things." Si Zang waved his hand dismissively. "To be fair, this happened in the past. We are people who came after, so our way of looking at things is different. So... you guys shouldn't overthink it. Just leave the problem to these people."

Si Zang chuckled mischievously and patted Lin Feng hard: "Whatever, the Lord of Humanity isn't necessarily the Emperor. Old Zhu... is he planning to let you...?"
