"You could say that back then, Mr. Wang Hao and I did intend to strengthen the military power of the six states to hone our skills and prepare for the Great Destruction of the future. Unfortunately, the performance of the six states has greatly disappointed me, and they are still nothing more than training grounds for the new recruits of my Great Qin."
Fortunately, twenty years ago, the Master created the Hell Battlefield, allowing us to continue our rapid advancement.
As he drove the Imperial Chariot at breakneck speed into the depths of Hell, Brother Zheng explained the situation to Gongsun Liji, while his gaze anxiously fell upon the endless Hell monsters below.
Despite the countless demons slain by the Great Qin soldiers over the past twenty years, the number of demons in this vast Hell seems to have not decreased.
Although they can hold out in the Hell Battlefield, it requires a huge amount of resources, and even with the increased national strength of the Great Qin's current territory of over a million miles, it is still a struggle to maintain.
If any accident occurs, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"But didn't they say that you were the ones who brought about the Great Destruction?"
In the past, Gongsun Liji would have given her a mocking look, implying that she had brought this upon herself. But what she saw today showed her a completely new side of Great Qin and Ying Zheng, one that was entirely different from what had been rumored.
There's probably a huge secret hidden here!
"You think too highly of me!"
Withdrawing his gaze, Ying Zheng smiled wryly and shook his head slightly, explaining, "The seeds of the Great Destruction were actually sown hundreds of years ago when King Wu attacked King Zhou. At that time, in addition to the historical event of King Wu's conquest of King Zhou, there was also the War Against the Gods by the ancient Nether Clan race in alliance with our Human Clan ancestors."
I don't know the final outcome of that battle, but since then, our land has been rapidly declining.
In that era, there were countless experts at the Earth Realm, and only those who reached the Heaven Realm could barely be considered strong. But before you were born, we didn't even have a single expert who had reached the Earth Realm..."
Gongsun Liji was increasingly shocked as she listened. Although it was unbelievable, her reason told her that it was indeed true.
" Hell is the place where the souls of all living beings in our world go after death and where they are reincarnated. In ancient times, the Nether Clan people lived here for a period of time."
At the heart of Hell lies a Gate of Reincarnation, responsible for reborn the souls of all beings, transforming them into living beings for the next life, thus perpetuating the cycle of reincarnation.
However, the Gate of Reincarnation was inexplicably destroyed during the War Against the Gods, thus losing its ability to reincarnate.
The souls of countless beings gathered in Hell, growing ever larger. For reasons unknown, these souls eventually transformed into the countless demons below.
Without the support of the Gate of Reincarnation, our world can only consume its own primordial power to create all living beings and maintain the operation of the world.
It's manageable in the short term, but over time it becomes a huge burden on the very essence of heaven and earth, further exacerbating the depletion of the world's origins, and has now reached its limit.
Our desperate attempt to create Hell Battlefield at any cost is merely to buy time for the world!
In the end, even someone as composed as Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh with sorrow.
The reality was so dire that even he wasn't optimistic about the future.
Gongsun Liji, still in shock, remained silent, slowly processing everything she had heard.
"Arrive!"
After an unknown amount of time, Ying Zheng drove his Imperial Chariot to land. Gongsun Liji glanced at it and finally her gaze fell on an ancient, towering gate directly in front of her.
It can be seen that the ancient, towering gate seemed to have been mostly shattered by some force, leaving only a base standing there.
At this moment, a giant gate phantom was slowly condensing on the base, seemingly about to transform into a real Tianmen.
Upon seeing this towering gate, Gongsun Liji immediately recalled what Ying Zheng had previously mentioned about the Gate of Reincarnation Ying Zheng.
Could this be the Gate of Reincarnation?
"You want to repair the Gate of Reincarnation?"
Stepping off the chariot and looking at the slowly coalescing phantom of the giant gate, Gongsun Liji realized that someone was using supreme power to repair the Gate of Reincarnation.
"That's absolutely right!"
Brother Zheng nodded and looked up at the alluring figure walking towards him.
"Your Majesty, you've arrived too early. Has Xianyang already fallen to the six kingdoms?"
Playing with a delicate, fiery red hairpin, Yan Lingji observed Gongsun Liji beside Ying Zheng with great interest. With her keen mind, she could roughly guess why Ying Zheng had arrived ahead of schedule this time.
"What a joke! Do you think those worthless cowards from the six kingdoms have the ability to breach my Xianyang city?"
His expression turned cold and aloof. Brother Zheng was incredibly confident and Haki, never taking the six kingdoms seriously, and even harboring some contempt for them.
Those Chiyou's Inheritance were the result of Mr. Wang Hao's painstaking efforts, and they were exactly the same as the inheritances he was given at the beginning, especially the military formations and Legion Talent within them, which were unparalleled masterpieces.
If they truly dedicate themselves to digesting those legacies, the six kingdoms, while not reaching the current strength of the Great Qin, will at least not fall too far behind, and will at least have a considerable number of legions at the Heaven Realm level.
Only such strength would earn his attention and provide a better training ground for their Great Qin.
Unfortunately, the six states disappointed him. Even though they inherited a powerful legacy, their own corrupt systems could not unleash its full potential, and their progress lagged far behind that of their Great Qin.
Now it has been reduced to a mere rudimentary training ground for new recruits, where bloodshed is a common occurrence.
Does someone like this even deserve his attention?
Let alone breaching Xianyang, even reaching the Xianyang walls is a problem.
Liji pursed her lips, but didn't refute it, because that was the truth.
Compared to the true strength of the Great Qin, the six states were indeed far too weak!
"You..."
Suddenly, Gongsun Liji looked at Yan Lingji's swollen belly in disbelief. Her gaze shifted, and she noticed that the bellies of the other women who had accompanied Yan Lingji were also swollen, clearly indicating that they were pregnant.
"You scoundrel! You're despicable! They're all pregnant, how could you be so heartless as to put them in such a dangerous place!"
Enraged, Gongsun Liji raised her small foot and stomped hard on Ying Zheng's instep. Although this force was barely a tickle to Ying Zheng, he still gasped in pain.
Seeing Brother Zheng's silly antics, Yan Lingji and the other women could tell that she held a special place in Ying Zheng's heart. They smiled sweetly and said, "Sister, you've misunderstood. The creatures we sisters are carrying are not ordinary beings, but ancient Heaven and Earth Divine Beast that have fallen from the heavens and earth."
The remaining power of the ancient Heaven and Earth Divine Beast that perished is mostly concentrated in this Hell, so our presence here is actually more conducive to the gestation of the little ones.
Moreover, with these little guys around, it's a huge boost to our cultivation and strength. Even your king wouldn't be a match for us!
Are they telling the truth?
Gongsun Liji looked suspiciously at Ying Zheng beside her, while Ying Zheng remained silent with a dark expression, clearly acquiescing.
Of course, Yan Lingji's statement was a clever trick. Ying Zheng could only unleash his full combat power within the Great Qin territory, including the previous Hell Battlefield, where he was able to perform at his best.
However, this Hell depths were not part of the Great Qin's territory, so he was unable to use most of his abilities, and his combat strength was reduced to less than 50%.
As the vessel for nurturing Heaven and Earth Divine Beast, especially top-tier divine beasts like the Phoenix, Yan Lingji possesses extremely powerful abilities, already very close to the Heaven Realm Peak in this world.
Here, Ying Zheng was naturally no match for the women!
However, Ying Zheng was also an arrogant person. If he couldn't win, he simply couldn't win, and he wouldn't bother to explain even if the other party used clever words.
"Oh! Brother Zheng, you've finally chosen your third concubine! Congratulations! Congratulations!"
A flippant voice rang out from the side, and everyone turned to look. Who else could it be but Wang Hao?
Clearly sensing Brother Zheng's arrival, Wang Hao temporarily put aside his work of condensing the Gate of Reincarnation and ran out.
This time is different from usual; Brother Zheng brought his new bride, so we have to give him some face.
"Boom!"
No sooner had Wang Hao appeared than a beam of scorching light shot out, followed by a group of beautiful figures flying in from afar, their eyes filled with murderous intent. The one in the lead was none other than Eastern Lord Yan Fei of the Yin-Yang School, and all the women were also heavily pregnant.
"We have guests here, please give us some face!"
Helplessly reaching out to block the scorching sunlight, Wang Hao felt extremely frustrated.
He explained everything very clearly: he got these women pregnant in order to nurture the Heaven and Earth Divine Beast, and that the main force behind it was the Will of Heaven and Earth, not him.
But these women just wouldn't listen. They never gave him a friendly look when they met him. Some of the more extreme ones, like Yanfei, would even start a fight, forcing him to hide inside the Gate of Reincarnation and work overtime miserably all these years.
"Snort!"
Yanfei and the other women snorted coldly, but did not make another move. Instead, they all turned their gazes to Gongsun Liji, curiously examining her.
They all knew very well that Ying Zheng was an arrogant man, and that in the past decades he had only had one queen and two consorts.
The two princesses were depicted in a bizarre, reimagined version of Jing Ke; the others were not included.
Why did he bring a new woman today, and treat her with such indulgence and affection?
"Sister Liji?"
Duanmu Rong looked at Gongsun Liji with suspicion, unsure if she was the wife of Jing Ke, whom she had met in the Mohist School.
Although they look very similar, this one is way too young! She looks like a teenager!
" Rong'er, were you also insulted by that bastard?"
Gongsun Liji also recognized Duanmu Rong, looking at Duanmu Rong's equally protruding belly with sorrow and resentment.
She had previously heard that Duanmu Rong had been kidnapped by that bastard, the Great Qin. According to the future Gai Nie, the Great Qin was a lecherous fiend who had defiled many beautiful women and impregnated them.
Duanmu Rong was also a rare beauty, but she was kidnapped by the lecherous Great Qin, and her fate was predictable.
Now that I see it, it's indeed true!
"Not really!"
Gently stroking her swollen belly, Duanmu Rong hesitated slightly, because she was unsure of the nature of the matter.
She couldn't deny that she was still a virgin when that bastard insulted her, yet he did get her pregnant.
So it's really hard to say!
"..."
With her eyes wide open in a daze, Gongsun Liji was filled with question marks.
What do you mean by "not even considered"?
This kind of thing is either yes or no; what's the point of giving an ambiguous answer?
"Hmph! Of course not, that kid is just a cowardly thief with the desire but not the courage, and he's still a shameful virgin."
At this moment, Eastern Emperor Taiyi appeared and gave Wang Hao a cold look.
He hated that bastard to the core. Back then, when he finished his seclusion, he discovered that many of the beautiful elders of the Yin-Yang School had been impregnated.
Whether it was the two Xiang ladies, the three women of that generation of Da Siming Shao Siming, or the Moon Goddess Mingyin, they were all pregnant, but he didn't know which bastard had done it back then.
It can only be preliminarily determined that the other party is the same villain who insulted Yanfei and Snow Maiden, because the little ones in the arms of Xiangfu and the other women are all extremely powerful, and they were unable to get rid of them using their own methods.
What's even more infuriating is that these little ones have extremely long gestation periods. He waited for three years without seeing any signs of them being born. Helpless, he had no choice but to start cultivating a new generation of elders. After all, he couldn't very well let these women go out and do things for the Yin-Yang School while they were heavily pregnant, could he?
To this end, he resorted to all sorts of swindling and deception, finally managing to fill the vacant elder positions. But who would have thought that, by some unnamed scoundrel, these newly appointed beautiful elders would all get pregnant by the very man he was with.
Later he learned that the bastard was none other than Wang Hao, the Great Qin.
If he could beat this bastard, he would have wanted to die with him!
