f a thousand worlds' divine realms. In the face of this power, even a Divine Nation space is rendered meaningless.Under the ravages of the gray power, the God Nation's space continuously shattered.If...>The ancient Xuanji said it was serious.

Looking at the other person's expression, Shen Changqing couldn't quite tell if they were being genuine.

And.

Since it clearly knows the risks of attacking Great Zhou, it can completely retreat now and there is no need to truly fight a life-or-death battle with Great Zhou.

Besides.

With the rumored personality of Emperor Qin, and with Dongfang Zhao putting himself first now, he always felt something was amiss.

To be frank.

If I were his son, there would be a reason for doing this.

Strangers.

It's a bit hard to understand why someone would do that.

Could it be

This Qin Emperor really valued my strength and had such high hopes for me. He wasn't afraid that after I went back, I would directly seize control of the Qin Empire's power.

There was confusion in my heart.

However, Shen Changqing did not say it directly. He just changed the subject.

"Is there truly such danger hidden within the Great Zhou"

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

"What worries me is not the Zhou Dynasty, but the demon clan behind it. Zhou Yu Guan's several powerful demons have made me completely believe that the demon clan will definitely do everything they can to help the Zhou Dynasty."

Or, the demonic clan wouldn't easily give up this power of the Great Zhou.

Now that our great Qin has taken control of most of the Zhou territory, yet every city is deserted, this simply won't do.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"I suspect that the disappearances of those commoners are not as simple as they seem."

Gu Xuanji's expression looked a little tired.

Although he had been prepared for a long time, facing such a difficult problem now still put a lot of pressure on him.

There was a pause.

The other party then said.

> “Of all the demonic clans, I fear most is the demon saint hiding in the shadows. Since a hundred years ago, when I crippled it in the capital city, that demon saint has vanished without a trace."

However, I can assure you that the demon saint will definitely not let Great Qin go.

It had been waiting in the shadows, patiently awaiting an opportunity for revenge.

Speaking of this.

Gu Xuanji sighed inwardly.

Now, the Qin Dynasty has no way out.

Though Daliang and Dayue are ostensible allies, both secretly have their own schemes.

If there was an opportunity to destroy the Qin dynasty and strengthen their own power, he believed that both sides would not hesitate.

The same.

>

Given the opportunity to crush both sides and strengthen its own power, Qin will not let this chance slip away.

To put it simply.

>

Between nations, any alliance should be based on equality and the absence of conflicting interests.

Once the balance of power shifts or there are conflicting interests, so-called alliances cease to exist.

Now.

On this critical juncture, Daliang and Dajue sent troops into Dazhou for this very reason.

During this time, when Daliang and Dayue wanted to get involved, I didn't stop them. My reason was that I wanted them to help Qin alleviate some pressure for me.

Anyway, I still say that when things are impossible to accomplish, one should prioritize self-preservation.

Now, the Great Qin can do without me, it can even do without anyone else. But it cannot afford to lose talents like you.

Gu Xuanji's expression was serious.

Nowadays, he doesn't display the same impassiveness as when facing his officials in court.

"Your Majesty's words, I do not quite understand."

Shen Changqing feigned confusion.

Gu Xuanji shook his head: “You don’t need to worry too much, what I said is true. In today's world, the strong are respected. The Qin Dynasty was able to stand for over three hundred years, not because of the people's hearts or anything else, but because it had powerful figures who held sway over the land.”

A hundred years ago, the one who could suppress Qin was myself and Dongfang Zhao.

> In a hundred years, the only one who can suppress the Great Qin Empire will be you, Shen Changqing.

The path of the emperor and the path of the garrison commander are both very limited. Only you, as a martial artist, have directly entered the realm of the great master, and your strength is comparable to that of a top-tier demon.

Give yourself some more time, and it will be comparable to a demon saint without any problem.

Therefore, after this battle, I will give you a great opportunity to allow you to advance further.

Then, I hope that you can protect my great Qin from turmoil!

Shen Changqing fell silent.

If Gu Xuanji's words are true, then the other party is now making arrangements for after death.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

That's all.

Here is the translated text:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He didn't immediately nod in agreement.

Although.

I often break my promises, but that's only to my enemies.

As for his own people, Shen Changqing felt that he was still quite honest.

That's exactly how it is.

That's why he didn't readily agree.

As for the great opportunity that the other party mentioned, Shen Changqing couldn't figure out what it could be for a while.

> can greatly improve one's abilities.

Inside the Great Qin.

He couldn't think of anything more useful than having all the demons from the Sealing Tower come to him.

“At this time, I am unable to give a response.”

Shen Changqing shook his head.

Gu Xuanji laughed.

"If you had agreed at once, I would have doubted your sincerity. But your words now have convinced me greatly."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Rest assured, the things I give you will never disappoint you.

The scene fell silent.

After a long pause, Shen Changqing clasped his fists and said, "Then I will retire first."

"Um."

>

Gu Xuanji nodded.

After Shen Changqing got up and left, he looked towards Dongfang Zhao.

"Do you think Shen Changqing is someone worth entrusting"

"Your Majesty's question, I am unable to answer. However, I do understand one thing: right now, the only one capable of truly utilizing the Demonic Suppression Bureau is him."

After all, what the world values most is ultimately personal martial power. If one's strength is sufficient, naturally everything will be worry-free.

A smile played on Dongfang Zhao's lips.

Please provide me with the text you would like me to translate. I can help with that!

Gu Xuanji nodded in agreement.

“You're right, what matters most in this world is personal martial prowess. As they say, the new generation pushes aside the old. Back a hundred years ago, we were considered the new wave. Today, a century later, we are the ones being pushed aside.”

Even a hundred years later, Your Majesty is as vibrant as ever.

"Having known each other for a hundred years, I remember you weren't someone who liked to flatter. When did you become like this"

"People always make progress."

“Your Majesty, the Qin army has appeared three hundred miles outside the capital!”

In the palace of the great Zhou Kingdom, a minister bows deeply.

In the midst of the black mist in the main hall, the figures of the Qin army could also be seen.

>"Three hundred miles away, at the rate of Qin's army's advance, it wouldn't be long before they were at every important place in the world. To say it plainly, although Gu Xuanji wasn't very good, the Qin soldiers were indeed quite elite!"

Please let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

Zhou Huang looked at those Qin soldiers. In his black and white pupils, there seemed to be a flash of scarlet.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

For a long time.

He withdrew his gaze and settled it on the civil and military officials within the hall.

"Don't worry about that, the capital is impregnable. When they arrive, it will be the time when the great Qin army is destroyed."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

All officials, both civil and military, bowed their heads.

Now, in the court, Zhou Chi and Yang Yue who were originally stationed at Zhou Yu Guan are all prominently present.

They quietly withdrew the day before Zhou Yu Guan was attacked.

"Alright, you all may disperse now. Remember, do not leave the capital without permission, or you will die at the hands of Qin. Do not blame me for not warning you."

"Your Majesty, farewell!"

Watching Zhou Huang depart.

All civil and military officials also withdrew like a tide.

When it was time to leave the palace, Zhou Chi looked at the bustling street before him. The pressure he had been feeling suddenly lessened.

"Phew!"

He let out a breath, and a faint smile appeared on his solemn face.

Since the collaboration between the Zhou Dynasty and demons, the court has become increasingly oppressive.

Many times.

Zhou Chi didn't want to stay in the court, but he had no choice.

Compared to the stifling atmosphere in the court, the prosperity of the capital actually made him feel a bit more lively. That feeling of oppression was also dispersed by quite a lot.

Return to your general's residence.

There were already servants waiting there.

"Daddy!"

A four or five-year-old boy ran over with his short legs, and Zhou Chi squatted down and directly picked him up.

And behind the boy followed a plump woman with a beautiful face.

The content inside the tags is just a paragraph break tag. Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!

"Why did court end so quickly today"

The woman asked softly.

Upon hearing this.

Zhou Chi held the boy, his usually stern face softened by a gentle smile.

"Since there was nothing to do today, I left court early."

"It's good that he's back from court early, we can prepare some breakfast right away. It's just the perfect time for him to return. Come, Yier, let your mother hold you. Your father must be very tired after returning from court, so don't bother him anymore."

The woman reached out and embraced the boy.

Although the boy was reluctant, he did not struggle or refuse.

Zhou Chi frowned slightly: "How could the servants at home do this In the past, the meals were always served at a fixed time, but now they are so unruly. It seems that I need to discipline them properly."

When he was speaking.

The woman had already walked ahead with the boy in her arms.

Upon seeing this.

Zhou Chi opened his mouth, but in the end he shook his head and said nothing more.

The hall inside.

As soon as Zhou Chi returned, everyone from the Zhou family stood up and bowed to him out of respect.

Next, servants brought up some breakfast.

When Zhou Chi moved his chopsticks, the others began to eat.

Put down your chopsticks.

Zhou Chi said to the woman, "Next time, don't let the servants cook red bean soup again. Eating it every day will get old. Let's try something different tomorrow."

"Um."

The woman was feeding the boy, nodding as if in response, but also as if not.

Zhou Chi was too lazy to say anything.

Although he went to court early these days, the things that happened there still made him feel tired.

>

After eating, it is time to go back to rest.

The next day.

Zhou Chi was washing up and getting ready to go to the palace for the court meeting when he suddenly stopped.

>

"It seems I'm really too tired lately, I even forgot to bring my waist badge."

He shook his head helplessly.

Without a waist badge, you can't even get into the palace.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Instantly.

Please provide me with the text you would like me to translate. I'm ready!

Zhou Chi then turned and went back.

As soon as I stepped into the manor, I heard a voice.

"Daddy!"

Let me know if you have more text you'd like translated!

He turned his head and saw the boy running towards him with all his might.

Zhou Chi couldn't help but bend down and hug the little boy.

“You usually wake up very late, why are you up so early today”

At this time, the woman who was following the little boy walked up and spoke in a soft voice.

>

“Why is court ending so early today”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“I haven't gone to the court yet, I just went out and forgot my waist badge.”

"It's good that he's back from court early. We just happen to be preparing breakfast. It's the perfect time for him to return home. Come here, Yier, let mother hold you. Your father must be very tired after coming back from court. Don't bother him any more."

>

The woman reached out with both hands, about to take the child.

However, Zhou Chi was jolted. He looked at the woman's faint smile on her face, and his expression gradually became shocked.

Here is the translated content:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The former capital of the Zhou Dynasty.

Three armies converged, no one spoke, an aura of death rose to the heavens.

"This is the capital of the Zhou dynasty"

Shen Changqing looked at the magnificent city before him, no less impressive than the capital of Qin. The city walls were covered with the marks of time, showcasing the long history of this ancient city.

Now.

When the Qin army was at the city gates, there wasn't a single soldier on the walls of the capital city of Zhou.

Just like.

The entire capital city, was also a vast empty city.

Even the ancient Xuanji, a master of the arcane arts, found himself with a grave expression at this strange sight.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now"

Yān Jǐng whispered.

The content within the tags > is empty. Therefore, there's nothing to translate. If you provide me with content inside the tags, I'll be happy to translate it for you.

If the capital of Zhou was guarded, it wouldn't be so troublesome. We could just start attacking the city directly.

But now the scene before us is rather daunting.

Upon hearing this.

Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Gu Xuanji said: "Observe the changes calmly and wait for my orders before speaking."

"Yes!"

Yan Jing accepted the order.

Then, the massive army just halted before the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

A breath.

Two breaths.

one quarter of an hour.

Two hours.

After half an hour, there was still no movement in the city before them.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Gu Xuanji narrowed his eyes. He slowly raised his hand, preparing to give the order to attack the city.

A low, cold chuckle suddenly echoed in the void.

"Someone!"

Someone said something.

Shen Changqing looked toward the location of the capital city wall. There, at some point unknown, a person wearing a black imperial robe and with a cold expression had appeared.

“Qin Huang, we meet again!”

Zhou Huang looked down at the large army, a faint smile always playing on his face.

It's just that the smile seemed rather cold and eerie to others.

"Indeed, it's been a long time."

Gu Xuanji looked at the people on the city wall, his expression unchanged.

“What surprised me most was that the once majestic Emperor Zhou, who was so impressive in his prime, is now reduced to this. It’s truly a pity.”

"Regret"

Zhou Huang smiled faintly, then shook his head.

“I feel no regret whatsoever. I am much better off now than I was then.”

To speak frankly, if my memory serves me correctly, your lifespan as the First Emperor is also nearing its end, wouldn't you Why not join forces with me and share immortality together”

Share longevity!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Shen Changqing's eyebrows rose slightly.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

It was clear to him that this Zhou Huang was no longer normal, completely like the demons of the Eternal Alliance.

Listen to what the other person means.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Seeking refuge with demons is also an attempt to escape the temptation of longevity.

"Longevity"

Gu Xuanji shook his head and smiled wryly.

“Is there truly immortality in this world It seems Emperor Zhou has gone astray. You, who were once the Emperor of Great Zhou, are now willing to consort with demons, betraying both Great Zhou and humankind.”

>

Today, my Qin army stands before your city gates. If you surrender now, I will give you an honorable exit.

And that was that.

Zhou Huang's eyes turned cold.

“Ancient Xuanji, do you truly think that I fear you Let me tell you the truth: You were able to arrive so easily in front of the capital city entirely because I gave you convenience.”

Otherwise, with just your few million troops, how could you possibly reach here.

"What do you mean"

Gu Xuanji's face turned cold.

"What does it mean"

The Zhou emperor burst into laughter.

“Aha, aren't you curious why all the cities you've conquered along the way are deserted”

"Aren't you curious where all those people went"

Today — I shall make you understand, what a grave error it was for you to enter the Great Zhou!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

As soon as the words left his mouth.

With a flick of his palm, a blood-red seal materialized before him.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

With the advent of seals.

The bloody light of the sky, directly entered the Qingming upper air.

The next moment.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

The entire heaven and earth seemed to tremble violently. A blood-colored light curtain, starting from the sky-piercing bloodlight like a seal, rapidly spread outwards in all directions.

The scorching sun was blocked.

The heavens and earth were plunged into crimson.

"What is that——"

The originally still army became somewhat chaotic.

One could only see that the once normal earth, under the crimson light, had turned a dark brown, like the color of dried blood. There was also an intense, almost suffocating, smell of blood in the air.

The majestic wall has decayed.

Green is gone, replaced by a dark brown.

At that moment.

A heart-wrenching scream suddenly echoed through the city. Someone soared into the air and landed right before Emperor Zhou, their face contorted with fury.

"Your Majesty, what on earth is going on!"

Zhou Chi's eyes were bloodshot, staring intently at the person in front of him.

Fake!

Everything is fake!

The capital is fake, and so are my family.

It turns out that the Zhou family had, at some point, completely died out. The people I used to talk to were not real members of the Zhou family, but rather illusions.

Now the illusion is dispelled.

The capital city is no longer prosperous.

Some were just shambling corpses, constantly tearing at the living. Some officials died at the hands of those zombies, but he managed to fight his way out directly from the horde with his immense strength.

Now.

When Zhou Chi saw the Emperor Zhou again, he clenched his long sword tightly, as if trying to restrain something with all his might.

The Zhou Emperor smiled faintly: "What do you want to know"

"Why, why would a country become like this, why would people from my Zhou family die Are you lying to me"

"Bold!"

Zhou Huang's face turned cold, and with a flick of his wrist, a powerful force sent Zhou Chi flying.

After landing.

>

This general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, blood dripping from his mouth, stared intently at the person in front of him.

“I promised to give you immortality, but death is the most eternal thing. So I sent Zhou's people on their way to fulfill my promise to you.”

"Beast!"

Zhou Chi roared, his whole body's strength erupted, his sword energy broke through the air, and slashed directly at Zhou Huang.

It's just——

When the sword energy reached within three feet of Emperor Zhou, it was shattered by an invisible force.

The next moment.

Then Zhou Huang moved.

Poof!

A hand, piercing through his chest, tore straight through Zhou Chi's torso. A beating heart was exposed to the air.

Pinch it gently.

Heartbroken.

Zhou Chi was powerless and collapsed to the ground, his eyes wide open as if he refused to die.

Just then.

>

A strong wind blew from behind.

A long sword pierced through the air, striking Zhou Huang's back directly. However, it managed to break through his defenses.

The physical body trembled.

The longsword shattered.

The person who made the move was instantly shocked and staggered backward.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Zhou Huang casually flicked the blood from his hand, turned to face the other person, and wore an expression of regret.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Yang Yue, I was going to spare your life, but since you are so ungrateful, then don't blame me."

“Mùshén Tōng, I ask myself, I have always been loyal to you. Yet, you slaughtered my Yang family clan. This grudge is irreconcilable! Today, it will either be your death or mine…”

Yang Yue blurted out angrily, and she was no longer the composed woman she had been before.

But before he could finish his words, he felt a flower in front of him, followed by a pain in his chest.

Looking down, with great difficulty, I saw that one hand had already sunk into my chest.

Pfft!

Zhou Huang drew his hand back, his blood-stained heart beating wildly.

>

Yang Yue fell to the ground, cursing in broken gasps.

“Mù, Mùshén tōng, wǒ, wǒ zài jiǔ quán zhī xià, děngzhe, děngzhe nǐ—”

With a squeeze, the heart exploded.

Zhou Huang glanced at him with disdain, a sneer playing on his lips.

"By the time you reach the underworld, it will be too late. From now on, I shall live forever and no one in this world will be able to kill me."

That's all.

He ignored the incessant screams still echoing within the capital, turning his gaze instead towards the Qin state.

"Old Xuanji, do you know why I had you called in"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Gu Xuanji remained silent.

The Divine Shepherd raised the seal in his hand, and on the crimson seal, boundless energy surged.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Every so often, a flash of blood would disappear into it, causing its aura to strengthen by a point.

“This is the Blood Seal, a treasure I forged using the Zhou people as the foundation after sacrificing them all.”

Now, the Blood Seal is only a little ways away from being successfully forged. As soon as it is truly complete, I shall be able to use the Blood Seal to plunder the power of heaven and earth, becoming the true god of all time since antiquity.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

"Now, as long as all the strong men of your Great Qin are slaughtered, I believe that the power gathered will be enough to truly form the Blood Seal."

At that time, there would be no one in the world who could rival me. As long as Heaven and Earth endure, I shall live eternally!

As if sensing his own success.

The God of Shepherds did not move immediately, but instead explained everything, as if only in this way could he satisfy his proud heart.

>

Additionally...

"You needn't think that with more people, you can rival me. In this domain, my power is beyond your comprehension. And even if you had more men, your Qin would still be no match for me!"

As his words fell.

The city gate of the capital suddenly opened.

A vast horde of corpses surged forth, charging towards the direction of Qin.

I don't know that way.

Other places also have a terrifyingly ominous atmosphere, as if some terrible being is about to be born.

Looking at the God of Shepherds on the city wall.

Gu Xuanji's eyes were cold.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

Although he had already guessed that Zhou had a backup plan, he never expected the other party to be so ruthless.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

For the sake of the so-called blood seal, they sacrificed all the people of the entire Zhou Dynasty.

Need not say.

What they had originally seen was not a real empty city, but just an illusion under the domain's coverage.

This explains why, despite the Qin conquering most of Zhou's territory, no civilians were seen.

Up to this point.

The realm is exposed, and all illusions are shattered.

Then the corpses in other cities must have received an order and are marching towards here.

In other words.

Now the Qin state is surrounded by Zhou's corpse-eating legions.

That's when.

Once again, several terrifying auras erupted from within the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Powerful demons, emanating immense strength, emerged from its depths.

“Great demon!”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Seeing those demons that appeared, Shen Changqing, who had been quietly observing the situation change, had a change in his eyes.

Six monstrous creatures.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Five heads are considered familiar faces.

Among them, four were great demons Zhou Yu Guan had fought before. As for the last great demon, he was all too familiar with him.
