Ereshkigal Seems to Have Accidentally Gotten Something Wrong

No matter what has happened in the past or what will happen in the future, at least now that Rovi has become the 'Heaven' of this Vast Divine Land, in the hundreds of thousands of ' Human Order ' under his rule, the one favored by destiny will always be the masses.

It does not concern itself with wealth or poverty, status or rank.

The prevailing trend in the past was the will of the gods; from now on, the prevailing trend will be the will of the people.

This is the manifestation of the Gods and Humans.

It is also the 'Heavenly Emperor's Pardon' that Rovi has engraved deep in Human Order.

Rovi glanced one last time at the Wei River flowing eastward behind him, chuckled, flicked his sleeves, and sang as he walked away.

The poet from a fallen kingdom, traveling by boat, felt a strange sense of melancholy, and the emaciated poor man seemed to have gained something new in his heart as well.

That is something called 'Destiny'.

"In the past, during the Qin Dynasty, Heaven manifested its power. While traveling along the Wei River, a man saw a person asking a question, who said: 'I have the power to overturn Heaven's mandate; the Shang Zhou may perish, and the Qin dynasty can also be overthrown.'"

This is precisely the "Heaven-Human Resonance," allowing one's destiny to remain unchanged for eternity.

'What is Heaven's mandate? Heaven is what we call: Heaven's mandate is mine, and my will is that of all people!'

'The Theory of Heaven-Human Resonance '

In the Qin Kingdom, at the Dong Hua Palace, as the sun rises and casts its rays, a young girl dressed in a black robe stands atop the dome, gazing down at the land below.

Curvy and graceful, the only fabric covering her body barely concealed her private parts. Beneath the cloak she wore, her fair skin rippled, her sides round and pert. In this desolate wilderness, there was no one to witness her figure.

This originates from the Planet Spirit's original form; in Yu Ji's view, only one person can see it.

"Since you're here, why are you hiding?"

"I didn't hide, I just walked a little slower."

Rovi, who had traveled from outside the pass along the Wei River, appeared beside Yu Ji: "Since we've come all this way, we should do something meaningful."

"For example?" Yu Ji glanced at Rovi beside her, her beautiful face showing little change in expression.

"For example, let's see how well that guy who seized the White Emperor's throne and became the Western Emperor Lord has grown."

"Do you even need to look at that? I'm Ancient Immortal— "

Yu Ji puffed out her pert breasts beneath the black fabric, her fair and flat abdomen undulating with pride.

Rovi added, "One of the Ancient Immortal."

"And he's the immortal who loves to sleep in the most."

Yu Ji subconsciously wanted to grimace and make a 'fuss' expression, but the next second she heard Rovi say, "No matter what, congratulations."

Having obtained power from the 'White Emperor', she became one of the 'Emperors' and resided in the west. From then on, Yu Ji was able to gradually walk the same path as the Huaxia Ancestor Gods.

Of course, it's only a possibility.

At least she now has the possibility of reaching the 'original state'.

From now on, they will no longer be restricted by their existence as ' Star Spirit '.

As the rising sun shone on their shoulders, the two people on the dome of the Dong Hua Palace suddenly looked at each other. A gentle breeze rustled their robes, Yu Ji pursed her crimson lips.

His crimson eyes reflected the world, a world in which he was all alone.

She gradually realized the possibility of standing shoulder to shoulder with Rovi.

Rovi sat down and said, "It's about to begin."

"What does starting have to do with me?" Yu Ji looked disdainful, and slowly sat down beside Luo Rovi, but her hand seemed to accidentally press down on Rovi's hand.

He paused for a moment, then remained silent, letting Yu Ji clasp his hand with her fingers, gently overlapping them.

Bring hearts closer together.

Thump thump thump—

The ground trembled slightly, and the sound of drums echoed across the fertile Guanzhong Plain. Rovi looked up and could clearly see a black 'tide' surging in the direction of Xianyang.

The 'beginning' he spoke of to Yu Ji was precisely this moment.

Qin had already unified the country.

Next, Qin King Zheng ascended to the position of the supreme ruler of the world and established the established system of governance.

The tide that converged from all directions was the Qin army, with majestic Qin Sword shining brightly between heaven and earth. They did not pass Xianyang, but went straight towards the Dong Hua Palace behind Xianyang.

Donghua is heaven, and Taiyi is heaven.

To ascend to the throne, it is natural to offer sacrifices to Heaven.

In the front hall of the Dong Hua Palace, officials dressed in black robes and uniforms had already stood there. Nine incense sticks stood at the front, scattering sparks. Prime Minister Li Si stood at the head of the left-hand side, flanked by numerous military officers and generals, such as Wang Jian, Wang Ben, Meng Tian, and many other generals who had contributed to the destruction of Qin.

They surrounded the very center of the solemn palace complex, a space paved with flat stones, in which stood a huge, nine-sided altar.

The Qin Army had arrived, and their spears and swords had completely surrounded the mountain and the palace.

Above the altar, amidst a fierce wind, Qin King Zheng, wearing a ten-tassel jade crown and a black robe adorned with depictions of flying black birds, looked down with his eyes lowered.

"Your Majesty, the Tokiomi has come." The Imperial Chariot Attendant, who was accompanying the king, spoke respectfully. The Imperial Chariot Attendant was in charge of the king's carriage, and his duty was to convey the king's orders and information, and to accompany the king.

The King of Qin flicked his sleeve and placed his hand on the Qin Sword at his waist. He said, "Then let's begin!"

start--

Offering sacrifices to Heaven and ascending the throne.

"The glorious land of China has been restored with the Yanhuang and the Yan Emperor. The Xia dynasty collapsed and the Shang dynasty began. The Shang dynasty fell and the Zhou dynasty rose. The cycle of destiny has come and gone, and now our Great Qin has been established for over a hundred years. We have swept away the Six States and brought peace to the world. We shall inherit the mandate of heaven and rule over all people."

A clear voice echoed in the air. The speaker was dressed in a Pure White Robe and had a light veil covering his face, making it difficult to tell his gender, yet he exuded a sacred aura. He stood on the altar, facing Ying Zheng directly.

That person's position was the same as Ying Zheng's, both being the highest.

He is the Grand Preceptor of the Qin Dynasty.

The messenger of 'Donghua'.

—A puppet body made by ' Xu Fu '.

' Siming ' (司命).

He recited the sacrificial rites and concluded by saying, "Today, all the people of the Great Qin, from top to bottom, pray to the heavens, the sun and moon, and the mountains and rivers."

"Bow to Heaven!"

"Bow to Heaven!"

"Bow to Heaven!"

All the officials bowed and kowtowed, but Qin King Zheng remained standing.

Li Si bowed his head and stepped forward, saying, "Now that I have received the mandate of Heaven, I shall open the gates of justice."

Ying Zheng turned around, facing the officials and the masses who had unified the world.

"My king hereby decrees: From this day forward, the feudal system is abolished, the royal enterprise is restored, and all power over the land is returned to the people. The king shall not be a hereditary ruler of a country, and dukes, marquises, earls, and nobles shall not actually hold power over a single territory."

"The world will be divided into nine provinces and thirty-six prefectures. The weights and measures of the previous states will be abolished and unified into the Qin system. The Qin character will be abolished and unified into the 'Qin character'."

"The title ' Son of Heaven ' was abolished, and the title was changed to 'Emperor'."

What is an emperor?

"His achievements surpass those of the Three Sovereigns, and his virtue is as high as that of the Emperor!"

"Our Great Qin Dynasty shall last for a thousand generations, ten thousand generations, and we shall all be called ' First Emperor '!"

Zhao Gao exclaimed, "Hail!"

The minister bowed his head. "First Emperor live ten thousand years!"

The military officers were somewhat displeased. Since Shang Yang's Reforms and the implementation of the agricultural-war system in Qin, the generals had spared no effort and the soldiers had not been afraid of death, all for the sake of obtaining fiefdoms through military merit.

Human beings all have selfish desires.

Today, with all the generals gathered, and Ying Zheng's authority growing stronger with each passing day after Ying Zheng the six kingdoms, especially with the head of the military, Wang Jian, bowing his head without hesitation. "Long live the First Emperor!"

The other military officers also suppressed their dissatisfaction and bowed their heads in response.

The mountains roared with shouts.

Long live Gao He!

The feudal system was abolished, the prefecture-county system was implemented, the imperial system was established, and weights and measures were standardized... This was the beginning of a great undertaking that would last for millennia.

On the dome of the rear hall of the Dong Hua Palace, Rovi smiled.

"This is..."

Yu Ji also looked on in surprise at the faint light and shadow appearing above the Qin state's military officials.

Rovi explained, "That is the radiance of Human Order."

"Human Order?" Of course, Yu Ji couldn't possibly be unaware of what Human Order were. Not to mention before, even just during this period of time spent by Luo Rovi's side, she had come to understand many concepts she didn't know before.

After the Qin state unified the world, Qin King Zheng ascended the throne and proclaimed himself 'Emperor'.

Thus, the history of the Qin state reached its peak, and the Human Order of the Qin state converged into Taiga.

"The glorious Qin dynasty restored our Chinese civilization."

"The sacrificial ceremony to Heaven shall begin."

The Imperial Advisor Siming chanted in unison.

The sacrificial ceremony to Heaven begins.

Qin King Zheng burned incense and questioned the heavens.

"It's my turn." Rovi stood up.

Yu Ji also got up.

He loosened his grip on her hands, which he had just unconsciously been holding tightly.

"It will only take a moment."

Rovi's figure hovered in mid-air before him.

Yu Ji gazed silently.

The King of Qin asked Heaven, "What is Heaven's response?"

A fierce wind swept through, shaking the robes of the Qin officials, and a ray of light appeared in the sky—that was the manifestation of 'heaven'.

Chaos, nameless, indescribable mist, is 'Taiyi'.

However, Taiyi cannot be seen by people. All the civil and military officials here only vaguely sensed something in their hearts, but could not explain it clearly.

That alone is not enough.

The recognition of Heaven should not be merely vague and ethereal; it should be more real and tangible.

In this way,

The Qin state encountered fewer obstacles in ruling the Divine Land.

This was something that Ying Zheng and Rovi had agreed upon long ago.

The King of Qin —or, according to another account, the First Emperor— still stood on the altar, facing the fierce wind.

He is still waiting for 'heaven's' response.

He also believed that Emperor Dong Hua would definitely respond.

Sure enough, the next second, an even more dazzling light appeared in the Nameless Chaos mist, and a huge figure slowly descended from it.

Steel is its skin and bones, lava its blood, its eyes are as bright as a sun's crown, and iron wings spread behind it raise a storm as red as the sun.

Machine God—

It can also be called ' Pangu '.

Since it is formless and invisible, the heavens cannot see it.

Then let the tangible things acknowledge it.

Originating from the Greek Machine God, it had already been 'earthed' long ago, establishing the 'pan' as the source of Chinese ' Thought Magic ' and opening up a mysterious 'new world' for the future.

This form has long been known as the Chinese name.

' True Pangu '.

The officials were solemn and amazed, unable to suppress their own worship. Even talented people like Ling Si and those with great military achievements like Wang Jian felt an overwhelming sense of admiration for that massive steel body.

It is the worship of the sacred.

They also yearned for that enormous 'mechanical god'.

With its divine power, it is sacred.

It is the manifestation of 'Heaven'.

"The Mandate of Heaven belongs to the Great Qin!"

Rovi lowered his gaze and acknowledged it by the name 'Tian'!

They acknowledged that "the Mandate of Heaven had been given to Qin."

The ministers kowtowed again, and when they rose, the celestial phenomena had returned to normal. The sky was still clear, and the sun was shining brightly at its zenith.

"Your Majesty, the ceremony is complete." Zhao Gao couldn't help but whisper a reminder when he saw Ying Zheng still looking up at the sky.

But they discovered that Ying Zheng's face...

Full of excitement?

"What a fine Donghua! He has such a form, yet he didn't tell me about it!?"

A super-large mecha.

That's every man's dream!

For some reason, Zhao Gao felt uneasy as he looked at the 'emperor' before him.

"True Pangu, True Pangu."

"It's decided—I, too, must possess such power from now on!"

"Hahaha!"

Zhao Gao held his forehead, Ling Si covered his face, but Wang Jian and other Qin generals expressed their absolute support.

If such a goal can be achieved, then we need not grant land!

They had no complaints whatsoever!

Perhaps even Ying Zheng and Rovi did not expect that a rift would develop within a military merit group, causing it to dissipate.

That year, the First Emperor ordered the collection of all weapons from across the land to cast twelve bronze statues. First Emperor deemed them all "inferior" and ordered all the weapons sealed away.

"The world is now unified!" At the bottom of the Wei River, within a space sealed by countless iron chains, a pale, jade-like hand swept across the water vapor, creating a vast, pale wave of energy.

The Ancient Demon God Wuzhiqi, sealed away by Emperor Yu, looked up at the vast sea above as the sunlight fell upon it, and chuckled softly.

With the world unified, she should also find an opportunity.

But before that...

"Is someone about to be born?"

"What a hassle—"

Wuzhiqi exhaled a breath. "East Sea, Penglai."

"And that stone..."

"Wait, who is this again!?"

The demon goddess's pupils focused for a moment, because she sensed the situation in the East China Sea by connecting the Wei River to the Taiga and the vast, boundless water vapor of the East China Sea.

She sensed something approaching.

It was a swirling, swirling aura.

That is...

"Rovi, is it here?" A girl with golden hair and a red cloak stood atop a mountain on an island. She looked at the giant rock beside her, raised her hand, and gently tapped it. "There seems to be life in here?"

The girl—or rather, having waited too long in the Highest Heaven —could finally restrain herself from seeing Luo Rovi and ran down, letting out a Ereshkigal moan.

"If that's the case, then I'll speed it up a little, so you can do it!"

The underworld is the end of death.

But it is also the source of life.

Now, Ereshkigal has long since mastered her own power.

There is no need in Mesopotamia.

The place where she is is her own underworld.

"I am a god from another realm, and I cannot directly set foot on that land. Therefore, you must help me find it!"

"Searching for the one I love—"

"God created the ' Stone Person '."

A faint, shimmering light urges life to accelerate, and power arises in the palm of the hand.

At the summit of the island, rocks gradually crumbled.

It is evident from this.

But it was a figure with a full head of red hair...

"Huh!? Did I accidentally create a possession?"

At that moment, Ereshkigal let out a distressed sound.

Amidst rustling and whispering sounds.

A pair of eyes shone with golden light from the broken rocks, piercing through the heavens and earth, instantly causing the once calm East Sea to surge with wind and clouds, and become turbulent.
