The calm in Zhou Qingfeng's eyes was tinged with madness, a hysterical madness. His heart was screaming in resentment, screaming at the injustice of fate to mankind. This resentment had existed since he decided to implement the transformation of the entire population into the supernatural. He, who once hated the supernatural, had to personally transform everyone into the supernatural. No one could understand the torment he was going through.
He had been suppressing himself, constantly using reason to control his emotions, but when he saw what Fang Xiu had done, he... could no longer suppress himself!
The madness in his eyes grew stronger, and his former calm had long been forgotten. This was not only because he was moved by Fang Xiu's persistence, but also because Fang Xiu had driven him to a dead end.
Yes, a dead end!
This time, Fang Xiu gave it his all, even at the risk of his consciousness being erased by the river of time and never being able to rewind after death, in order to stop the invasion from the other side. It can be said that if Fang Xiu fails, the world will never have another chance to start over, and naturally, the entire population will not be able to become bizarre.
Zhou Qingfeng, who was determined to save the world, would naturally not allow such a thing to happen.
Therefore, Fang Xiu's deliberate creation of a dead end not only drove himself into a corner, but also drove Zhou Qingfeng into a corner.
"Is this your real plan? You put yourself in the game and win against fate! The prophet... Fang Xiu!!" Zhou Qingfeng stared at the equally crazed Fang Xiu with a look of madness on his face.
"Fine, since that's how it is, even if it means my true form is forever trapped in the river of fate, I'll go completely mad with you this once!"
Zhou Qingfeng rushed to Fang Xiu's side and made the same move as Fang Xiu. He suddenly stretched out his hands and slammed them heavily onto Wanlilong City.
The two stood side by side, with identical appearances, identical expressions of madness, and identical displays of unwavering determination... At this moment, the pinnacle powerhouses and protagonists of two eras joined forces!
For the hundreds of millions of people of Xia, let us fight for a glimmer of hope from the heavens!
This is a cross-generational collaboration, an intersection of two different beliefs, a final madness unique to humanity!!
Zhou Qingfeng pushed the power of destiny to its limit, his gaze falling upon the endless river of destiny, searching among the thousands of destinies for the one that led to the successful gestation of a spirit in the Dragon City.
"Defying fate...changing destiny!!"
boom!
A rumbling sound echoed in the void, the river of destiny flowing. In an instant, the boundless power of destiny descended upon the vast Dragon City.
The qualitative change has begun!
Rumble—!
The vast Dragon City continued to collapse, with massive amounts of rubble flying everywhere. Countless dazzling golden rays pierced through the gloom of the world, as if some terrifying beast was about to awaken from its slumber.
The next moment, the entire Wanlilong City was covered in golden light, and amidst the anticipation and prayers of the people of the entire Xia Kingdom, it slowly transformed into a ten-thousand-foot-long golden dragon!
The ten-thousand-foot-long golden dragon seemed to have awakened from ancient times, lying across the vast mountains and rivers of the Xia Kingdom. It had slept for far too long, so much so that opening its eyes seemed to require the utmost effort of its entire body.
The enormous dragon eyes slowly opened, like two suns falling to earth.
But at that moment, something unexpected happened!
The ten-thousand-foot golden dragon seemed to have exhausted all its strength, and its sun-like eyes began to slowly close again. Not only that, but the golden light on its body also began to dim, as if it were about to dissipate.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Qingfeng's face turned ashen, his aura rapidly weakening and dissipating, a bitter smile playing on his lips: "So, in the end, I've failed after all?"
He looked at the towering golden dragon that was about to fall apart and immediately understood the reason.
"So that's how it is. The Dragon City of Ten Thousand Miles is powerful because of the faith of its people, but it also cannot take shape because the faith of its people is too chaotic to form a unified consciousness. Ultimately, its size is too large to bring together the faith of its people. Indeed, fate cannot be changed. Even after a temporary change, the predetermined failure will still arrive as promised..."
The cheers of hundreds of millions of people in Xia Kingdom had just begun when they came to an abrupt halt, and the brilliance that had burst forth in those pairs of desperate eyes slowly dimmed at that moment.
At that very moment, a figure stepped forward, his black fiery wings soaring into the sky, his silver hair flowing like a waterfall in the wind, and his standard black clothes fluttering in the wind. Amidst the attention of the crowd, he held the Imperial Seal of the State and flew atop the ten-thousand-foot-long golden dragon.
It's just now!
His calm voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
"By the mandate of Heaven, may your reign be long and prosperous! In the name of the prophet, Dragon City—awaken!!"
Bang!
Fang Xiu fiercely imprinted the Imperial Seal of the State onto the ten-thousand-foot-long golden dragon, and time seemed to freeze at that moment.
The next second...
Awooo!!
The earth-shattering roar of the dragon resounded throughout the heavens and earth, causing the sky to tremble and the void to churn!
A golden dragon, ten thousand feet long, soared into the sky, flying high above the Xia Kingdom.
In the darkness, a majestic figure dressed in a black dragon robe seemed to emerge from the void, his imposing voice resounding far and wide.
"I have unified the six kingdoms and brought the world under one rule. I have built Dragon City to suppress the dragon veins of the nine provinces, to protect my Great Qin and safeguard my state."
I hereby swear in the name of the First Emperor: While I live, I will defend our land and expand our territory, sweep away the barbarians, and establish the foundation of my Great Qin for ten thousand generations! Even after my death, I will transform into a dragon spirit to bless my Chinese nation for eternity.
This oath is sworn by the sun and moon, witnessed by heaven and earth, and heard by immortals, demons, and gods!
The towering figure slowly vanished, as if it had never appeared, but the awe-inspiring vow resonated in everyone's heart.
In an instant, billions of dazzling golden rays pierced through the surrounding gloomy gray fog, and the strange creatures raging across the land turned into ashes under the golden light.
The strange creatures that kept coming were kept at bay by the golden light outside the country's gates. Anyone who dared to approach was instantly killed upon touching the golden light.
Zhou Qingfeng stared blankly at Fang Xiu, who was standing in mid-air.
"They actually...did it!? So that's how they used the Imperial Seal to help form a unified consciousness in the entire Dragon City..."
In ancient times, the Imperial Seal of the State was the supreme symbol and the emperor's authority to rule the world. If there was anything that could unite the people in faith, it was the emperor!
The emperor's will is an extension of the will of the people, and the will of the people is a manifestation of the emperor's will.
Therefore, this is why the First Emperor appeared. Fang Xiu used the Imperial Seal to unite the will of the people into the will of the First Emperor!
"We...won!!"
"Long live the First Emperor!"
"Long live the prophet!!"
The deafening cheers swept across every corner of the Xia Kingdom like a tsunami.
Amidst the sea of cheers, Zhou Qingfeng and Fang Xiu each looked in different directions.
Looking at the jubilant people, he smiled gently: "The fate of the nation is sealed."
One of the eerie figures, watching the screaming figures blocked outside, grinned maliciously: "The battle is over."
