Free Web NovelChapter 1020: Chapter 426: Dividing the Continents, Ying Zheng’s Excitement, and the Opening of the Court Assembly! (Part 2)
However, the Three Emperors were left to guard this border at Hong Gorge.
"Your Majesty."
"What should our Qin do?"
Wang Jian came to Ying Zheng’s side and asked respectfully.
The gaze of all Qin ministers converged.
Just waiting for Ying Zheng’s command, this Hong Gorge was merely a small ditch to the strong of Qin, easy to cross over.
"Issue my decree."
"Qin should fully control the territories seized, enforce the Qin Law, establish the Daqin Academy, and spread our Martial Arts."
"Meng Tian."
"Wang Ben."
"Tu Sui."
"The three of you shall lead your respective forces to guard this Hong Gorge. If anyone from the Heavenly Court dares to cross, you need not ask for instructions, engage in battle immediately," said Ying Zheng with authority.
"Your servant accepts the decree."
The three Shangjiangjun replied in unison.
"Return to Wucheng, everyone."
Ying Zheng laughed heartily.
Stepping out, he disappeared into the void.
Except for the Elite Soldiers left here to guard, other Qin ministers left one after another.
On the other side of the Hong Gorge.
The Three Emperors, along with hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, remained stationed.
Meng Tian, Wang Ben, and Tu Sui stood on the edge of the gorge.
Gazing at the Heavenly Gods of the other side.
"Our Qin will soon attack over."
"You fake gods."
Meng Tian said coldly, making a throat-slitting gesture full of provocation.
"Fake gods."
"Wait for our Qin to slaughter you."
"We’ll let you live a little longer first."
"Indeed."
"Our Qin will soon strike over..."
Many Daqin Elite Soldiers laughed loudly, looking at the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals opposite, filled with killing intent and boundless fighting spirit.
On the opposing side.
The faces of the Three Emperors were grim.
Even more so were the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.
When had they, the True Gods of the Heavenly Court, ever suffered such provocation?
Even the Buddhist Sect.
In the Eastern Continent, the Nan Zhanbu Continent, they had to retreat from the Heavenly Court’s edge, yet now this Qin kingdom dares to challenge their authority.
As for this.
They were more or less helpless.
Because facing the Qin, they could be considered to have lost.
The campaign of such strength days ago nearly ended in a total defeat.
Regarding Qin’s provocations, they could only endure.
"Pass down the order."
"Erect a Heroic Pass for defense."
"As long as these Qin monstrosities do not cross Hong Gorge, my Heavenly Court shall not initiate conflict," declared the Heavenly Official Emperor immediately.
"We obey the Emperor’s command."
Many Heavenly Generals responded in unison.
Then.
An immense Heroic Pass descended from the heavens.
It stood directly at the edge of the Hong Gorge, resembling the border of two continents, creating an endless Heroic Pass at the Hong Gorge’s border.
The power of the Heavenly Court was indeed a masterpiece.
At this moment.
If mortals were to witness such a scene, they would be shocked to the extreme.
This seems to be governing by separating continents.
The Heavenly Court now cannot do anything about Qin, nor can Qin deal with the Heavenly Court.
For the time being, both can only coexist peacefully.
But the Heavenly Court has its own calculus, waiting for Hao Tian to refine the Hongmeng Purple Qi to achieve the Saint’s Position, while Qin seizes the time to develop.
After all, having gained such vast territories and population, Qin also needs to convert all this into Qin’s strength.
To sum up.
In this confrontation, Qin has won.
Wucheng!
Inside the grand hall.
Apart from the ministers stationed across various lands, all other civil and military officials gathered here.
"Ministers greet Your Majesty."
"Ministers greet the Heir."
The full assembly of civil and military officials bowed towards Ying Zheng.
"Rise, everyone."
Ying Zheng smiled and raised his hand.
At this moment.
Ying Zheng was also elated and in high spirits.
"Thank Your Majesty."
"Thank the Heir."
All ministers shouted with smiles on their faces.
"Everyone, you have worked hard this time."
"The Heavenly Court attacked, and our Qin prevailed."
Ying Zheng extended his arms, laughing heartily.
"Swear allegiance to Qin unto death."
"But if there is an invasion, we Qin ministers will fight to the death." All the ministers replied in unison.
This is also the vigor that belongs to them as ministers of Qin.
Unlike the various factions of the Heavenly Court, Qin is a completely united whole, with each minister fully loyal to Qin, sharing life and death with Qin.
Qin prospers, ministers prosper; Qin declines, ministers decline.
They are truly an entire whole.
"This time."
"The Heavenly Court’s invasion has been almost entirely eradicated by our Qin."
"Our Qin has completely established itself in the Earth Immortal Realm now." Ying Zheng laughed heartily.
Compared to seizing territories, this is the true victory belonging to Qin.
"What Your Majesty said is very true."
"In this crisis, our Qin has passed through it."
"The Heavenly Court can currently do nothing against our Qin."
"Our Qin has completely established itself." Lv Buwei laughed heartily.
"The hundred officials of the Heavenly Court invaded, countless True Gods fell at the hands of our Qin."
"The fake gods of the Heavenly Court are nothing more than this."
"In this battle for establishment, our Qin showed great prowess."
"The divine spirits of the Heavenly Court, our Qin is unafraid."
"Indeed."
"If the Heavenly Court dares to invade again, we will surely fight to the death..."
Each minister said, extremely excited.
To them.
This is their pride.
Tonight.
It is Qin that is victorious.
Even if the Queen Mother of the Heavenly Court returns, the Great Emperor reappears.
They do not dare to make a move against Qin again; it is that which makes them apprehensive, having been slain into fear.
"The Queen Mother of the Heavenly Court has established the Hong Gorge as a barrier."
"Though it blocks our Qin from continuing north, it is actually a show of weakness from the Heavenly Court."
"Our Qin has now taken nearly sixty percent of the territories of the Eastern Continent, which is currently sufficient."
"We must assimilate this vast territory, completely integrating it into our Qin before it can become our Qin’s strength and heritage." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
"What Your Majesty says is very true."
"Now our Qin has been rooted in the Earth Immortal Realm for several years."
"Implementing laws, establishing the Academic Palace, everything is orderly."
"The territories seized this time can be completely absorbed into our Qin’s strength and heritage within ten years."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty." Lv Buwei said at once.
"I am naturally at ease."
"This matter."
"I will entrust entirely to Zhong Fu."
"If Zhong Fu has any issues, he can directly seek the heir." Ying Zheng smiled, directly handing over the authority to Lv Buwei.
"I, your minister, will never let Your Majesty down." Lv Buwei declared immediately.
"Your Majesty."
"This time our Qin has eradicated more than a thousand Immortal Sects, and their resources are indeed endless."
"Now these resources have already been entirely placed into the Tian Xuan Mirror treasury space." Wang Jian stepped out to report.
Upon hearing this.
Ying Zheng smiled and said immediately: "Resources must be converted into strength to be considered resources."
"Issue my decree."
"Starting today."
"The annual salary for every Qin minister will be increased threefold, including both the official position salary and cultivation salary."
"All of them will be increased."
"I want to use these resources to increase Qin’s strength again." Ying Zheng declared in a commanding voice.
With incontrovertible certainty.
In the Heavenly Court.
Their resource allocation still needs to be divided among various factions and contested over.
But for Qin, resources are completely distributed through the Tian Xuan Mirror, all belonging to the national treasury, everything can be distributed to every Qin minister without any oversight.
This is the strength of unity.
The power of unity.
"I accept the decree."
Li Si and Han Fei immediately replied.
Resource allocation.
The two of them naturally bear that responsibility without doubt.
"Chen Ping."
Ying Zheng looked towards Chen Ping.
"Here I am, Your Majesty." Chen Ping responded immediately.
"In this great battle, our Qin has obtained many divine weapons and magical treasures from the Heavenly Court."
"Plus the weapons and magical treasures originally belonging to our Qin."
"I have only one request."
"Remove all the imprints from these magical treasures and divine weapons, reforge them for our Qin, and all the damaged magical treasures must be reforged too."
"After reforging, distribute them as soon as possible." Ying Zheng said.
"I accept the decree."
"I will not disappoint Your Majesty." Chen Ping promptly replied.
"Also."
"Grand Commandant."
"In this great battle, our Daqin Elite Soldiers were invincible, and so were the ministers of Qin, not to mention many civilian cultivators serving our Qin, all of whom have great merit."
"Qin will never undervalue any meritorious minister."
"All who participated in the resistance against the Heavenly Court, even those who did not take action but stood forward."
"All shall be rewarded with corresponding cultivation salary."
