Ying Zheng Cultivates Immortality, The Entire Nation Worships the Heavenly Emperor!

"Protect the Emperor!"

"Protect the Emperor!~"

Zhang Han led the imperial guards, his bronze sword still dripping blood, but he froze in place.

Inside the palace, several mangled corpses lay scattered about.

One of them was particularly gruesome, with only a severed hand clutching a drumstick hammer remaining; the rest had been reduced to a bloody pulp.

At the very top, Ying Zheng stood before the dragon throne in a black dragon robe, golden dragons swirling around him as a protective aura. An unparalleled imperial divine might washed over them, making it incredibly difficult to breathe.

"Gulp!"

Zhang Han swallowed hard, his forehead covered in a dense layer of sweat. He quickly dropped his weapon and knelt on the ground.

"This minister's guard was insufficient. I beg the First Emperor's forgiveness!"

Silence!

A deathly silence.

It felt as though only Zhang Han's rapid breaths remained in the palace, chilling him to the bone.

At this moment, Ying Zheng above slowly opened his eyes. Two black true dragons swam within them, making it impossible to meet his gaze directly.

"The cultivation technique passed down by the Heavenly Emperor is indeed real. Is this the power possessed by Immortals?"

Ying Zheng extended his hand. His previously withered, rough skin became fair and tender. All fatigue and illness vanished, as if he had returned to decades ago.

"This is only my first time cultivating. If I practice diligently every day, perhaps I can truly achieve Longevity!"

"Moreover, this is merely a cultivation technique bestowed casually by the Heavenly Emperor. There might be even better things in the future!"

Ying Zheng was not only excited but also felt a sense of relief.

If he hadn't entered the chat group, he wouldn't have received such an opportunity.

Not only could he achieve Longevity in the future, but he also knew of the existence of other worlds.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look down at the golden dragon phantoms swirling around him.

The Heavenly Emperor Visualization Diagram was not static.

It contained many Great Daos, and the Great Dao Ying Zheng obtained represented National Fortune.

The stronger the National Fortune, the more his strength would increase.

If he could unify the entire realm, he could become an Immortal.

He could even lead the entire nation to ascend and travel to other worlds to continue expanding his territory.

Of course, the current Qin State had only unified the Six States. Let alone other continents, even the surrounding Baiyue and other regions had not been pacified.

But even so, the National Fortune Golden Dragon he had condensed was already invincible in this world.

If someone dared to attack him, it would trigger a National Fortune backlash, ultimately leading to the same fate as these assassins before him.

"No need!"

Ying Zheng finally spoke to Zhang Han.

"I am favored by the Heavenly Emperor; no one can harm me now!"

"However, you know what to do about the origin of these assassins!"

"Yes, this minister will surely uproot these rebellious traitors!"

Looking at the now majestic and heroic Ying Zheng, Zhang Han felt as if he had returned to the time when Qin State conquered in all directions, invincible. His expression grew even more excited.

As for the so-called Heavenly Emperor, if anyone else had mentioned it, he wouldn't have believed a single word.

But since it came from His Majesty's mouth, he naturally believed it without question.

In his heart, Ying Zheng was already a divine Immortal descended to the mortal realm. It was perfectly normal for him to receive help from the so-called Heavenly Emperor.

With this thought, he kowtowed again, picked up the blood-stained sword beside him, and walked out of the palace.

Dare to attack the First Emperor? It was foreseeable that countless people in Xianyang City would be implicated in the coming days.

The next few days would be filled with bloodshed and violence.

"Your Majesty, Lady Moon Goddess requests an audience!"

As soon as Ying Zheng returned to his sleeping quarters, a small eunuch cautiously pushed the door open and reported.

"Let her in!"

Ying Zheng leaned on the dragon desk, piled high with stacks of memorials.

Since he had determined that the path ahead was related to National Fortune, he naturally did not slack off.

Although the bodies of the assassins in the Hall of Heavenly Worship had been cleaned up, the bloody aura would not dissipate anytime soon.

So, he had them all moved to his sleeping quarters.

Soon, a graceful and charming woman with a captivating figure, yet a face of purity, walked in gracefully.

"Moon Goddess pays respects to Your Majesty!"

The Moon Goddess said, bowing halfway.

"What is it?"

As Ying Zheng's voice fell, the Moon Goddess finally looked up.

But then she immediately froze in place.

She had met Ying Zheng before, and even as the High Priestess, she had frequent contact with him.

This was why Donghuang Taiyi had sent her to the imperial palace.

But the Ying Zheng before her was completely different from the one she remembered.

If the previous Ying Zheng was a dying old dragon.

Now he was the rising sun, ready to rule the world at any moment!

If it weren't for his demeanor, his actions of reviewing memorials, and the strong National Fortune of Qin State that were the same as before, she would have thought someone was impersonating him.

"Could this be the reason for the great change in the stars that Lord Donghuang spoke of?"

Thinking this, the Moon Goddess said to Ying Zheng with even greater reverence.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Lord Donghuang divined tonight and discovered that Great Qin's National Fortune is like a dragon. It will surely prosper and never decline, forever suppressing the world!"

The Moon Goddess's tone was excited, like a fanatic. Her voice alone was enough to stir emotions.

Ying Zheng, however, was not surprised.

As if he could help it, he had received an opportunity bestowed by the Heavenly Emperor. If Great Qin were to perish in its second generation like in the original timeline, he might as well hang himself.

However, as he looked at the Moon Goddess before him, a thought crossed his mind, and he asked.

"Moon Goddess, do you think anyone in this world has truly achieved immortality?"

The Moon Goddess was stunned. In the past, if she had merely praised him, Ying Zheng would have been overjoyed and even bestowed rewards. Now, not only was he indifferent, but he was even asking about immortality?

Despite her confusion, she quickly responded.

"Of course, there have been!"

"Ancient texts record that there are immortal mountains overseas: Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou. Immortals reside within, and a hundred years are like the four seasons. They are immortal and live as long as heaven!"

"Now that the Mirage Tower is nearing completion, the Yin-Yang School will surely find the method of immortality for Your Majesty!"

The Moon Goddess spoke with ease, and her tone was full of anticipation when she mentioned the Mirage Tower.

She didn't actually know if immortals truly existed.

However, the Mirage Tower was indeed built to help their Yin-Yang School find immortals, and there was no deception towards Ying Zheng in this regard.

It was just that once they obtained the method of immortality, they would not give it to Ying Zheng.

From beginning to end, they were using Ying Zheng.

But what followed made him feel a chill down his spine.

"Oh? But why do I feel that you have no loyalty towards me?"

Ying Zheng's icy voice came from above.

"Your Majesty is wronged! My loyalty to Your Majesty and Great Qin is as clear as heaven and earth!"

The Moon Goddess's face changed drastically. She quickly knelt and said fearfully.

She didn't know where things had gone wrong, but if she lost Ying Zheng's support, she would be a sinner to the entire Yin-Yang School.

Ying Zheng stood up and strode forward like a dragon!

It was at this moment that the Moon Goddess discovered with horror that a true dragon was swimming within his eyes, making it impossible to look directly at him.
