[Great Qin Empire]

Secretary-General Bai Mu walked out of the Imperial Garden, her mind constantly calculating what His Majesty the Emperor had said.

After leaving the Imperial Palace, she went straight to the direction of the Empire's Military Department.

Upon arriving at the Empire's Military Department, she immediately applied for a T1-Level War Giant Ship, preparing to have it accompany her to the Four-Dimensional Universe.

The current T1-Level Warship is the previous version's T0-Level, which is still deterrent enough for a Level-Five Civilization.

"Secretary-General, what's this?"

Bai Wen looked at Secretary-General Bai Mu actually coming to the Military Department to apply for a warship to accompany her, and asked in surprise.

"Under orders to handle some matters," Bai Mu said.

"Understood."

Bai Wen didn't continue to inquire about this matter.

She was under orders.

Whose orders could she be under?

Apart from that one in the Imperial Palace, no one in the entire Empire dared to order her.

Bai Mu immediately had the warship she applied for accompany her to the lower-dimensional universe.

She could handle going to the Four-Dimensional Universe herself, but there was no need to do it herself. At the very least, the Great Qin Empire had to see the strength of the Empire in order to deter them, let them understand the Empire's power, and finally dare not overstep.

Shenzhou Universe.

The Shenzhou Universe belongs to the Four-Dimensional Universe. After the Great Qin Empire, a civilization that underwent Mechanical Ascension from the Three-Dimensional Universe, conquered it, the Four-Dimensional Universe was forced to rename itself the Shenzhou Universe.

There was no other way. The Great Qin Empire's wolfish ambition, its jackal-like nature and strength, caused the natives of the original Shenzhou Universe to either die or surrender.

Now, the Great Qin Empire occupies nearly 60% of the entire Shenzhou Universe's territory, and also rules countless Three-Dimensional Space Universes.

Judging by its appearance, it wants to follow the path of the Star Ancient Empire, using the lives and resources of the low-dimensional universes to fulfill the Great Qin Empire's grand plan.

Shenzhou Universe · Galaxy Domain · Solar System, that's right, after renaming it the Shenzhou Universe, the Great Qin Empire renamed the vast star field where their Imperial Capital was located to the Galaxy Domain, and the Capital planetary system was also called according to the names from the Three-Dimensional Universe era.

However, the planet they live on is not Earth, but Yanhuang Star.

Xianyang is the Imperial Capital of the Great Qin Empire.

It is also the most terrifying core of power in the Great Qin Empire.

Xianyang Palace.

Qilin Hall.

Wearing a black Shui Dragon robe, a mianliu on his head, a Bronze Ancient Sword of about 1.6 meters at his waist, with bright, piercing eyes and a dignified face, the middle-aged man sitting there quietly, as if he were the center of the world, overlooked the civil and military officials in the Qilin Hall.

He embodied what imperial power was. None of the officials below dared to raise their heads to meet his gaze.

"Your Majesty, the Babylon Empire wishes to negotiate peace with the Empire, willing to compensate the Empire with 150 star domains as war reparations. Should we..."

Li Si, the Prime Minister and head of the civil officials, stepped out from the ranks, looking respectfully at the supreme being on the Dragon Throne, and said reverently.

150 star domains, that was no small number.

Equivalent to 150 Milky Way Galaxies, of course, limited to the Four-Dimensional Universe's Milky Way Galaxy, not the Three-Dimensional Universe's Milky Way Galaxy.

One star domain in the Four-Dimensional Universe was equivalent to one Three-Dimensional Universe.

"This is the maximum price the Babylon Empire can pay," Prime Minister Li Si didn't forget to add at the end.

This was the maximum bottom line they could negotiate.

"Approved."

First Emperor Ying Zheng looked expressionlessly at the civil and military officials below, pondered for a moment, and uttered a cold "Approved," carrying with it the mighty power of the heavens.

The Babylon Empire was the strongest opponent the Great Qin Empire had encountered since entering the Four-Dimensional Universe.

Due to the Great Qin Empire's constant warfare, the national treasury was empty, and it was impossible to continue fighting.

They were already barely holding on in the war with the Babylon Empire.

Now that the Babylon Empire had taken the initiative to propose peace, it was quite beneficial to the Empire's conquest.

"Your Majesty, we have received signals from the Three-Dimensional Universe, from a group claiming to be descendants of our Huaxia, who are now being oppressed by a powerful civilization. Should we..."

Xiao He, the Minister of Finance of the Cabinet, stepped out from the ranks and asked tentatively.

After all.

This matter had been delayed for a long time due to the war with the Babylon Empire. Should they give the descendants in the Three-Dimensional Universe an explanation?

Who told them to be descendants of Huaxia?

Even if they were from other universes, they were still descendants of their Huaxia Yanhuang.

"Have their identities been confirmed?"

First Emperor Ying Zheng's gaze fell on his Minister of Finance, Xiao He, and asked.

Indeed.

After a long period of evolution, the Great Qin Empire had long separated internal affairs from the military and adopted the titles of Cabinet and Military Department.

The Cabinet basically consisted of those few.

Prime Minister, Minister of Finance, Minister of Education, Minister of Justice, Minister of Public Security, and Minister of Foreign Affairs.

The Military Department was independent of the Cabinet and only took orders from the Emperor.

"Currently, we have confirmed their identities."

Li Si was still the Prime Minister of the Great Qin Empire, but now he was the Prime Minister, responsible for the Great Qin Empire's livelihood issues and comprehensively reviewing other matters, and said respectfully, "Currently, they have already said many of the Empire's generals' names, including those famous ministers who went through fire and water for the Empire."

"Zhang Han, Xiao He, Han Xin, and others aside, even General Lu Bu, General Zhang Liao, General Guan Yu, Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang, Fang Xuanling, and other existences, the other party can match them one by one."

"They even recounted the Zhou, Shang, Xia, and Yu dynasties before the Great Qin Empire, and even compiled such a song: 'The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors began, Yao, Shun, and Yu passed it on, Xia, Shang, and Western Zhou, Eastern Zhou split into two, the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, unified Qin and two Han dynasties...'"

Everyone listened to Prime Minister Li Si's account and fell into silence.

After all, once they arrived in the Great Qin, there was no such thing as Eastern Han or Western Han.

But they all knew about the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Yao, Shun, Yu, the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, and the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.

The Great Qin Empire was the unified Warring States.

Many of those who swept across the land and unified the six kingdoms back then were present in this court.

"Should we reconfirm their identities?"

"These few words are not enough to explain anything at all?"

Just then, a small old man who looked extremely effeminate, wearing Great Qin Empire civil official attire, and sporting a goatee, looked at Prime Minister Li Si and said.

Seemingly a civil official, in reality, he was the Chief of Staff of the military.

"This isn't enough to prove it?"

Minister of Education Xunzi looked at this fellow in shock and said.

This was already enough to show that they were descendants of their Great Qin Empire.

Even if they weren't from the same world, they still belonged to the Yanhuang bloodline.

Since they had asked them for help, they definitely had to lend a hand.

"Hehe..."

"Master, I think you've become foolish from reading too many books?"

"So what if they are Yanhuang bloodline from other worlds? Are we obligated to help them?" This civil official with a gloomy face said with a cold smile.

"Jia Xu, you're being presumptuous."
