"Your Majesty, the auspicious time is approaching. Would Your Majesty like to proceed to the Mirage Tower?" a eunuch respectfully asked Ying Zheng, who was standing on the beach observing the scene.
"Wait a little longer," Ying Zheng said, looking towards the sea.
"Your Majesty, if we wait any longer, we might miss the appointed time," the eunuch cautiously reminded him.
"I said wait, so keep waiting. Step back," Ying Zheng rebuked.
"Yes, sir." Upon hearing this, the eunuch could only retreat helplessly.
"Father, could it be that a real dragon has really appeared?" Fusu asked in a low voice after the eunuch withdrew.
“I don’t know either.” Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng shook his head and said, “But this is an opportunity. Even if no true dragon appears, it is still an opportunity to deal with those rebels hiding in the darkness of the empire.”
“Father, if the time is too late, those rebels will also realize something is wrong, and we will miss the opportunity to eliminate them as well,” Fusu said.
"How many of those rebels hiding in Sanghai have arrived? Have all the members of the Yin-Yang School come?" Ying Zheng asked upon hearing this.
"The Yin-Yang School people have all arrived at the Mirage. According to Zhao Gao's report, they have attracted many rebels to sneak onto the Mirage in the past seven days, hiding in various places within it. There are also many more currently mingling among the crowds watching from the seaside. The net is ready, just waiting for Father's order to wipe them all out in one fell swoop." Fusu replied with some worry, "In these seven days, we have also searched and eliminated a large number of rebels, but many more are still heading to Sanghai. Moreover, the Shadow Guards have discovered traces of small groups of troops disguised as their arrival around Sanghai."
"It seems these rebels all see this as an opportunity to take my life." Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction. Although he was somewhat displeased at having acted as bait, the effect was indeed excellent. Ying Zheng then asked, "Are Li Si and Zhao Gao still on the ship? And those two children, are you sure they are them?"
“They are all on the mirage, and it has been confirmed that it is indeed him. Li Si and Zhao Gao have also sent familiar ministers to test him, and it has been confirmed that it is indeed him,” Fusu said upon hearing this.
"Hmm." Ying Zheng nodded. "When the time comes, if the true dragon does not appear, we will begin our operation. The army will charge in, burn down the mirage, and leave no one alive."
"Yes, sir." Upon hearing this, Fusu immediately accepted the order and prepared to convey it to Meng Tian.
"Boom..." Just then, a thunderclap suddenly rang out in the sky, attracting everyone's attention. Then, the previously clear sky quickly began to darken, dark clouds rose out of nowhere, and a light drizzle began to fall from the sky.
"What's going on?" People looked at the suddenly changed sky in surprise.
"A true dragon undergoing tribulation." Upon hearing the thunder and seeing the suddenly changed sky, Ying Zheng's first thought was what Wang Han had said about a true dragon undergoing tribulation, and he immediately turned his gaze to the sea.
"Could there really be a real dragon?" Fusu looked at the sky in surprise.
"What exactly happened?" Upon hearing the thunder and seeing the sudden change in the sky, Donghuang Taiyi's expression changed drastically. He immediately began to deduce again. Although he had deduced that Ying Zheng would die during this eastern tour, he had not foreseen this when he came.
No matter how hard Donghuang Taiyi racked his brains, he would never have imagined that there were such unpredictable variables as time travelers in the world.
"Lord Donghuang?" The Moon Goddess looked at Donghuang Taiyi with concern, who had already resumed his calculations. She had also performed the calculations when she arrived, and like her, she had not foreseen the changes in the sky.
"How could this be? How could we not have predicted it?" Donghuang Taiyi said in confusion, then realized that Ying Zheng had not boarded the ship yet, and there were still a large number of rebels hiding in the mirage. It was all a plan by Ying Zheng and a certain master in the shadows.
Donghuang Taiyi said anxiously, "We must leave quickly. It's likely that a powerful figure has forcibly defied fate and caused the Heavenly Dao to manifest."
"What!" The Moon Goddess was astonished upon hearing this. Forcibly defying fate was something even the Yin-Yang School couldn't accomplish; otherwise, the Great Zhou Kingdom wouldn't have perished. Even the Yin-Yang School, for hundreds of years, could only proceed slowly, planning step by step to overthrow the Qin Kingdom. (Although Donghuang Taiyi and others possessed some divination skills, they hadn't yet grasped the levels of planets and worlds.)
"Splash..." But before they could leave, a new change occurred on the sea not far from the mirage. The water level rose rapidly, and a huge outline rose from the sea.
"How is that possible?"
"Oh my god!"
"The legend is actually true."
Everyone stared dumbfounded at the enormous creature that had appeared in the sea.
"Could it be that the words on the fallen star weren't man-made, but a true prophecy?" Donghuang Taiyi muttered to himself in disbelief.
On the sea, a gigantic red dragon head, tens of meters in size, rose from the water, followed by a body as thick as a river, powerful and strong, with sharp claws, and a terrifying and oppressive aura descended. It was a colossal, coiling, and massive red dragon. After the red dragon appeared, the sky grew even darker and more gloomy.
"There really are real dragons in the world." Fusu stared blankly at the red dragon that emerged from the sea and hovered in the sky, and murmured to himself.
"Wang Han was right." Looking at the dragon rising from the sea, Ying Zheng laughed heartily. "Immediately issue the order to begin the sea sacrifice."
Upon receiving Ying Zheng's order, the Shadow Guards, who had been prepared beforehand, quickly brought over a table and various offerings, placing them in front of Ying Zheng.
——————————————
"As expected of a cultivation world, the planetary will reacted quite quickly; it detected me the moment I transformed." Wang Han raised his dragon head and looked at the dim sky. Wang Han's transformation into a true dragon was because he stole Kaido's True Dragon Devil Fruit ability (the stolen ability had no side effects) and used it on himself.
