"But that fool, King Zhao, actually believed them without question?"
"Sigh, these monarchs, how can they all be so stupid?"
...
The boasts made by the Zhao State's Grand Preceptor and others were extremely absurd.
Yin Zicheng felt that anyone with a modicum of critical thinking would not believe their words.
But the reality was that King Xiaocheng of Zhao, Zhao Dan, actually believed it!
Even though Lian Po and Lin Xiangru advised the King of Zhao together, saying that the words of the Zhao state's national advisor were too exaggerated and that the King should not believe them easily.
However, he was completely unable to persuade King Xiaocheng of Zhao!
At this moment, King Xiaocheng of Zhao was completely immersed in the image of finding the Primordial Ancestor, receiving his divine favor, and becoming as powerful as a god.
He felt this was a tremendous opportunity bestowed upon him by heaven, and he was desperate to find the Primordial Ancestor!

Right here in Handan, while the King of Zhao was frantically searching for the Primordial Ancestor.
In Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty.
King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Ying Ji, and his entourage, pulled by the royal steeds, sped along at top speed and finally arrived at Taibai Peak in Zhongnan Mountain!
Standing at the foot of Mount Taibai, Ying Ji gazed at the summit of Mount Taibai, which shone with dazzling divine light, and the Hongmeng Daoist Temple standing atop it. A deep sense of awe appeared on his aged face.
"What an incredible miracle!"
"On my lone horse, I will soon see the legendary gods!"
