"How could the First Emperor, who is only a few years old, be so powerful?" The Chaos Demon Spider couldn't believe it.
Even the Great Emperor of the North Pole couldn't understand it.
"It can only be said that some people are exceptionally talented, surpassing all others throughout history," Cao Ya praised.
He recalled the "Peerless Supreme" universe, and the existence of beings born from the Seven Stars Beyond the Shore—that was truly amazing!
And no one would think that the Chaos Dragon was bad or performed poorly.
That weak, ultimate level of cultivation was genuine; even the Chaos Demon Spider would be outmatched.
The ferocity of the First Emperor can be said to have exceeded everyone's expectations!
"Useless thing." The Chaos Shark shook its head, and with its Saintly status, it had the right to say such a thing.
Luo Hou sighed softly, never expecting that the First Emperor was so powerful that even the demonic dragon was no match for him!
Even though the blade was blocked by the spirit leaf, the demonic dragon's own strength was not bad either.
Fortunately, he had a backup plan: the Chaos Shark launched a sneak attack... In the end, it was still a good outcome.
The Chaos Dragon is dead, but it was able to take the First Emperor with it, so that's acceptable.
It's just a pity about the fragments of the first-class spiritual treasure he collected...
"Swoosh!" At this moment, the First Emperor's spiritual light was extremely intense. He infused his magic power into the Emperor Sword, making it indestructible. To everyone's surprise, he actually severed the huge head of the demonic dragon and beheaded it!
"Whoosh." Imperial aura surged forth, solidifying space and time, freezing all paths, and annihilating the demonic dragon.
"Ah!!" the demonic dragon screamed, filled with endless resentment.
He came for the magic weapon, but as a result, not only was the blade destroyed, but he also lost his life.
"If it weren't for the Chaos Shark, killing you would at most result in minor injuries," the First Emperor sneered.
Then, the Emperor Sword struck again, unleashing a surge of imperial aura that shattered the demonic dragon's soul.
Thus, the survivor of this Chaos Demon God, having lived through countless ages, died in this world.
"It's a pity that even the brilliant First Emperor was destined to perish."
The experts from all sides expressed their different emotions—some regretful, some gloating—which reflected their respective factions.
"Your Great Dao cannot simply vanish like this." The First Emperor's expression was indifferent, seemingly without much anger, nor any sorrow for his own downfall.
"Swoosh!!" The Emperor's Sword pierced the dragon's head, and boundless imperial aura pierced through the remains of the demonic dragon.
Immediately, the First Emperor formed a hand seal, and a radiant light rose up, completely dissolving the chaotic demonic dragon!
"Awooo." Faintly, a dragon spirit cried out, but it had lost its reason and was driven only by instinct.
"The First Emperor was..." Cao Ya's eyes flickered slightly. Could it be that he was about to witness the birth of dragon energy?
In the end, the First Emperor dissected the dragon's corpse and the laws of the Great Dao.
He straightened his body, and a surge of Daoist energy rose from his imperial robes, swallowing the Dao principles in one gulp.
"This is..." Countless experts were shocked. Could it be that the First Emperor was going to use the Demon Dragon Technique?
"Roar!!!" Under the astonished gazes of the people, the human destiny transformed into the human dragon energy, becoming even more powerful. A divine dragon flew in the outer realm, spanning the long river of time and space!
All the remnants of the Chaos Demon Dragon at the extreme of weak primordial chaos have become resources for the fortune of humanity.
After completing the final step, the First Emperor's soul had almost completely dissolved.
"Boom!" The human dragon energy roared, then vanished without a trace.
Those who are truly skilled can sense that the foundation of humanity has become increasingly profound.
"Great Qin... I ultimately have no time to suppress the remnants of the six states, fight against demons, and carry out a new round of reforms..." A rare sigh flashed across the First Emperor's eyes.
The situation of the Great Qin was extremely precarious, and in the past, it was entirely supported by its weak Hunyuan power.
If he falls, who can shoulder the burden? Prince Fusu? Prince Huhai?
"Shang Jun's system could help Qin unify the world, but it must be changed in order to govern the country."
“The needs of chaotic times and peaceful times are not entirely the same, and blindly applying the same principles will not work.”
"This requires not only a capable and powerful ruler to balance the court and the country and suppress the old aristocratic group and the military merit group, but also a large number of like-minded people to help, devise strategies, and implement them."
"Does the Qin Dynasty today have such a figure? Perhaps it does, but can it be put to use... And can the backlash from the vested interests be stopped and suppressed... Difficult, difficult, difficult!"
The First Emperor remained silent for a long time. Even as a weak primordial being, he could not forcibly change the original national policy that had lasted for hundreds of thousands of years and helped the Qin state to conquer the world.
"Buzz." The First Emperor's divine sense descended, and he made arrangements for the princes, princesses, prime ministers, generals, and other important officials.
Immediately, the First Emperor, carrying his imperial sword, looked around at the eight directions and surveyed the six realms.
A smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
"He was able to die on the battlefield, shatter the Chaos Dragon, and even launch a sneak attack for the Chaos Shark..."
"This kind of ending, though not what I wanted, is dignified enough and befits my position."
As soon as he conceived the thought, the Emperor Sword in his palm began to crumble, and strands of divine light drifted across the desolate edge of the universe.
Finally, even the First Emperor's soul transformed into light, and showers of spiritual rain swept across the heavens, nourishing the stars.
"Your Majesty!" Throughout the Qin Dynasty, countless court officials were shaken.
Even a weakly powerful emperor has perished...
However, during the eastern tour, the Prime Minister and the Chief of the Imperial Carriage Office had some ideas about the First Emperor's will after his death.
"There is a young master in this group who is deeply favored by His Majesty. Why go to such lengths when you can find someone nearby?"
The turmoil in the Qin state is inevitable and will sweep across the east, west, north, and south, encompassing the entire Southern Continent.
The heroes from all directions sighed in sorrow, for such a great figure had passed away.
Oh, including the Chaos Dragon, today marks the passing of two unconventional saints!
This situation has never occurred since the Lich Wars!
The Investiture of the Gods was supposed to be intense, involving battles between multiple saints, but in reality, there were few casualties.
The immortals who died, though their true spirits remained, were collected by the Investiture of the Gods and later revived.
"However, that human dragon aura..." Many immortals and demons hesitated.
What impact did the First Emperor's actions before his death, which integrated the Demonic Dragon Path into the Human Path, have?
"Human dragon energy? Heh, signs of turmoil have already appeared in the Great Qin, and it is about to flatten the Southern Continent in one fell swoop!" Outside the Fire Cloud Cave, Donghuang Taiyi sneered, with the Chaos Bell above his head and the Chaos Demon Rabbit departing.
Inside the cave, all the ancient sages were solemn.
The situation in Jambudvipa is extremely delicate; the slightest misstep could lead to total defeat.
Even disciples of major sects such as Chan Sect, Jie Sect, and Ling Mountain, upon looking towards the Southern Continent, all sent messages to their sects, warning them not to rashly venture into that region for ten thousand years.
Throughout the world, who doesn't know that with the death of the First Emperor, the Southern Continent has fallen into chaos!
Demons are lurking and ready to strike; beings above the weakest level of Hunyuan may appear!
Aside from a few leaders of the Holy Realm, any disciples below them who interfere without authorization will undoubtedly be asking for trouble!
"Good riddance!" In the Heavenly Court, in the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor breathed a sigh of relief.
The First Emperor's displayed combat prowess was astonishing, completely suppressing the Chaos Dragon...
It should be noted that the Demon Dragon is quite powerful in the weak Hunyuan realm. The Jade Emperor thought to himself that if he left the Heavenly Court, he would be about the same as the Demon Dragon. Only within the Heavenly Court, where he had the advantage of terrain, could he gain a slight advantage.
In other words, even if the First Emperor were to storm the Heavenly Court, he would not be inferior to him.
If the Jade Emperor were to face the enemy in the outside world, he would suffer a crushing defeat under the Emperor's sword of the First Emperor of the Earthly Immortal Realm!
How could this not enrage the Jade Emperor? He also felt the instability of his dragon throne!
In the end, the First Emperor and the demonic dragon perished together, which greatly pleased the Jade Emperor.
"Now, shouldn't humanity be declining?" A cold glint flashed in the Jade Emperor's eyes.
The Heavenly Way was created by Hongjun, and the Heavenly Court is subordinate to the Heavenly Way.
The rise of humanity can help advance the Way of Heaven, but it poses a threat to the Heavenly Court.
Although he relied on Hongjun's support to establish the Heavenly Court and become the Great Heavenly Venerable.
However, nowadays, the interests of the Jade Emperor and Hongjun are no longer entirely aligned.
"The First Emperor is gone, the Great Qin..." Cao Ya sighed softly.
Despite various twists and turns and numerous changes, the overall trend remains unchanged.
Where are the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin... and Han dynasties now?
He also did not believe that anyone in the Qin royal family could maintain order.
Unless someone is exceptionally talented, ascends to the throne, and, with the help of human destiny, directly becomes an unconventional saint, overwhelming all enemies with unparalleled power!
"The Prime Minister and Chief of the Imperial Carriage Office of Qin, for their own benefit, also supported Prince Huhai."
"Even if Prince Fusu of this era directly received the First Emperor's will, he would not commit suicide."
"But if we lead an army south to vie for the throne... wouldn't the ambitious schemers lurking in the shadows seize this opportunity?"
"Let's leave aside demons and monsters, and anything above the weak Hunyuan realm for now."
"The remnants of the six states alone are enough to give the Qin court a hard time."
"Moreover, if the system is not reformed, the Qin court will not be able to maintain its stability and will inevitably be destroyed!"
"You should know that during the reign of the First Emperor, all regions were extremely turbulent."
"Who among those who succeeded him possessed the power and ability of the First Emperor?"
Cao Ya was unable to intervene in such changes in the world; he lacked the power and prestige to bring about change.
In terms of power, he is still a bit lacking. He is not even qualified to be a weak Mixed Origin cultivator, and cannot completely subdue all forces. After all, he has connections with many big shots above the weak Mixed Origin level through various channels. Let alone a Quasi-Saint.
Because of their past friendship, and since no personal gain is involved, Qin Ting might be able to respect his decision.
But if we were to make drastic changes to national policy... every corporation would have to oppose him!
Does Cao Ya hold a high position in the Qin court? Does he possess the power to sweep all before him?
Let alone Cao Ya, even if the Three Sovereigns Daoist were to appear, the Qin court officials, while respectful, would never yield in terms of interests.
Moreover, for Cao Ya at present, the most important thing is to perfect the "Cosmic Alchemy Classic"!
The key is to improve one's cultivation level and increase one's strength so that one can fight a weak Hunyuan cultivator single-handedly!
He won't compete for the throne or establish a dynasty; it's all predetermined by human nature and destiny.
One can only rely on one's own understanding and insights from various systems.
The rise and fall of the human race as a whole is what Cao Ya values more.
The existence of the Humanity's Destiny also prevents Cao Ya from interfering too much, as it would easily invite backlash, harming both himself and others. Furthermore, his path dictates that he cannot refine the Humanity's Destiny.
Just like the Fire Cloud Cave, it is difficult to be all-encompassing and interfere with the operation of the dynasty.
If that's the case, wouldn't it be more convenient to directly establish the Fire Cloud Cave Empire and unify all human territories?
But here's the problem: the sages of Huoyun Cave all once possessed the power of human destiny. If they come into contact with it again, the risk of getting lost is extremely high!
Given their skill, the harm they would cause if they were to fall into corruption while in power is unimaginable!
Furthermore, the development of humankind, regardless of the dynasty, always progresses in a spiral upwards.
The roles played in the old world had too much influence, which weakened humanity and made the future bleak.
After all, the old folks may be capable enough, but they rarely have the idea of innovation anymore.
That aged, decaying smell could not be concealed.
This does not offer much benefit to the development of the times or the evolution of civilization.
"Boom." Countless light-years away, the Chaos Demon Spider shattered the void and left the Celestial Realm.
"War has broken out once again on the earth," lamented the Great Emperor of the North Pole.
The last period of turmoil was the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, which lasted for nearly a million years!
The Qin Dynasty's unification was short-lived, and it was on the verge of collapse. How many more years will this chaotic world last?
"I wonder if Liu Bang is still alive in Mount Mangdang?" Cao Ya had no intention of descending to the mortal realm.
If Liu Bang had been born in the Immortal Realm, his abilities would have been enough to rise to power amidst the chaos of war.
If he were to go down, his title of "Keeto Star Lord" would attract too much attention and hostility, making it impossible for Liu Bang to develop peacefully in the early stages.
Cao Ya was 100% certain that many powerful figures would be involved in this chaotic world!
The Fire Cloud Cave side also clearly saw this and were on guard.
Although there were also secret efforts to end the chaos as soon as possible, to achieve unification, and for the people to no longer suffer so much and to usher in a peaceful and prosperous life, the rampage of demons was even more intolerable!
However, there are simply too many opponents, making it somewhat impossible to defend against them.
Ultimately, the human race only managed to obtain the Three Sovereigns Daoist, a Saint Realm expert.
In many situations, they are at a disadvantage, unable to attend to all areas, and inevitably make mistakes.
We can only do our best.
As expected, Prince Fusu of Qin was no match for the combined forces of the Prime Minister and the Chief of the Imperial Carriage Office. Prince Huhai ascended the throne, becoming licentious, tyrannical, and extremely cruel. He slaughtered a large number of members of the Qin royal family.
In Dazexiang, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted, "Are kings and nobles born with special privileges?" This sparked a major uprising. In many parts of Qin, rebellions broke out, and for a time, the land was filled with the smoke of war.
They hadn't even had a chance to scheme against the many weak Primordial Chaos Realm cultivators and Saint Realm cultivators before they reached this point, leaving them all stunned.
"Haha, I told you, the human race will decline after reaching its peak. After unification, it is time for it to decline."
The Chaos Demon Insect laughed loudly, sensing more and more, and the human dragon energy was wailing.
"Then let's add fuel to the fire!" Donghuang Taiyi said with a smile, "The Qin court is to be destroyed, and as for the various feudal lords... let them fight like dogs."
The Chaos Shark pondered, "Perhaps we should prepare another contingency plan, just in case."
On Mount Mangdang, a terrible battle broke out, with giant snakes hissing and polluting the mountains and rivers.
"Liu Ji, can you defeat that quasi-saint level snake demon?" Outside the mountain, many people trembled.
They witnessed the holy war between the First Emperor and the demonic dragon, and could only look up in awe.
At the same time, they all understood that without the First Emperor, the Qin Dynasty would inevitably descend into chaos!
Perhaps they could take this opportunity to return to Pei County and not have to worry about being wanted.
However, before they could even set off, a powerful demon lurked in, intending to devour the town.
In the Mangdang Mountains, Liu Ji discovered their presence and went directly to intercept them, thus leading to this battle!
People were shocked to realize that Liu Ji was already a great supernatural being at the quasi-saint level!
"Hiss..." The giant snake cried out in pain as Liu Ji cut it in two.
Liu Ji bathed in snake blood and leaped out of Mount Mangdang, his entire demeanor undergoing a dramatic transformation.
Having witnessed the First Emperor slay the Chaos Dragon and integrate its principles into the human destiny, thus creating the Human Dragon Qi, Liu Ji couldn't help but exclaim, "A true man should be like this!"
"Now that the First Emperor is dead, I must go out and see what's going on in Pei County!"
