You said you could kill the evil spirits without me, why are you crying now?

Chapter 410 There must be something fishy going on here, maybe it's a bigger conspiracy

Amaterasu stood among the crowd.

I felt like a thorn in my back, and the embarrassment was like someone had uncovered my shame in public, and my face was burning.

She looked around.
Good fellow, except myself,

All of them are from the Great Xia Empire.
Those looks seemed to carry substance, either scrutinizing or questioning, making her feel uncomfortable.
I just want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

There was no need for Chu He to remind her.
Amaterasu was like a child who was eager to cover up her mistake. She raised her hand in panic and waved it lightly.

In an instant,
The Eight-foot Mirror, which originally hung high above the bronze coffin, was like a golden sun emitting a destructive aura.

As if hearing the master's urgent call,
The golden high-temperature light that was raging violently all over the body and could burn the air to a sizzling sound,

Receding as quickly as the tide.

Then, the Eight-foot Mirror turned into a stream of light.
It fell accurately into the slightly trembling hands of Amaterasu.

Amaterasu's hand trembled, as if the mirror had burned her, and then she took it into her body as quickly as possible. The whole action was done in one go, as if she had practiced it countless times.

After doing all this, she pretended to be calm, trying to calm her inner waves, and said calmly: "Don't be surprised, everyone.
This is just a clone of the Eight-foot Mirror.
The real Eight-foot Mirror has long since become one with me and is rooted in the deepest part of my body.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Eight-foot Mirror has now become an inseparable part of my body, living and dying with me. "

Although she tried her best to control the tone of her voice, the slightly trembling ending still inadvertently revealed her inner panic and anxiety.

"Next, do we have to set off back to the Great Xia Empire?"

Tamamonomae broke the moment of silence.

Speaking of which, during the time she followed Chu He, Tamamonomae fell in love with the Great Xia Empire from the bottom of her heart.

The land there is vast and the abundant resources are like an inexhaustible treasure mountain.

And the people there seem to be particularly generous and open-minded.

It is completely different from the slightly narrow-minded and petty-minded customs of the White and Red Empire.

The most important thing is that there is a god like Chu He guarding this place.
The stability of the Great Xia Empire is far superior to that of the White and Red Empire.

During this period of time, Chu He's every move did not escape Tamamonomae's eyes.

She witnessed two remarkable things:

First, the martial arts power of the Great Xia Empire has been rising steadily like mushrooms after rain.
A large number of young talents with great potential continue to emerge in the martial arts.

The vibrant scene is amazing.

Secondly, Chu He's own strength was growing at an astonishing speed, like riding a rocket, as if he was being reborn every day.

This gave rise to a bold idea in Tamamonomae's mind.

Maybe Chu He really has a chance to break through the shackles and ascend to heaven.
Become a god sitting high in the clouds, overlooking all living beings.

However, the road to the summit is bound to be full of thorns and dangers. If you are not careful, you will be doomed.

"Before you set off to return to the Great Xia Empire, Amaterasu, I have something for you to do."

Chu He's figure was as tall and straight as a pine tree, and he exuded an icy and chilling aura that made people dare not look directly at him.

His gaze was like a materialized cold light, staring directly at Amaterasu, and he spoke word by word: "Bring all the masters of the White and Red Empire,
Whether it is a strong person who practices martial arts and can split mountains and rocks with the power of his body,
Or is it a strange person who controls strange powers, can manipulate yin and yang, and play with people's hearts?

Or even a transcendent being like you, clean them all up.

Leave no one behind! "

His voice was like a cold wind blowing from the Netherworld, with an unquestionable determination that instantly froze the surrounding air and caused the temperature to drop sharply.

"what?"

When Amaterasu heard this, she felt like she was struck by a bolt from the blue. Her eyes widened with disbelief, "If all these forces are eradicated, won't the White-Red Empire be completely destroyed?"

Her voice rose unconsciously, with a hint of anger.

After all, no matter what, she is also the spiritual symbol of the White and Red Empire.

It is an existence standing at the pinnacle of this country.

Asking her to kill her own people is tantamount to asking her to destroy the homeland she has protected for many years with her own hands.
How could she accept it?

Chu He snorted coldly, with a hint of ridicule: "I have already got what I should have, and you are no longer of much use to me.

There are only two paths before you:

Otherwise, I will discard you like a piece of trash right now, and let the gods you have provoked rain down their wrath and burn you to ashes.

Otherwise, I will take action now and send you to the west directly, so that you can avoid being burned by the wrath of the gods."

At this point, Chu He paused and narrowed his eyes slightly: "However, I am very curious. As a dignified god, why did you run to the human world and willingly become a watchdog?"

The three cold words "watchdog"
There was a snap,
He slapped Amaterasu's usually proud face hard.

Instantly, her face seemed to be ignited by anger, and turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Like a ripe tomato about to burst, the burning feeling of humiliation rushed from the cheeks and quickly spread to the ears.

Her heart was burning with anger, as if millions of ants were biting her.

After all, she was an upright god who was revered by all the people in the divine realm.

In the past, I was above the clouds, enjoying the offerings of believers and bathing in the glory of respect.
Have your own moment of honor.

But now, it is being evaluated with such contempt and disdain,

From the high, shining clouds,
He fell headfirst into a quagmire filled with mud and filth, and his former dignity was shattered to the ground, left to be trampled upon by others.

Although the hatred in Amaterasu's heart was surging like a raging storm,
But she was also aware of the heavy task she was carrying.

If you look closely, it really deserves the humiliation brought by the word "watchdog".

think about it,
Those gods who are usually high and mighty,

They are all selfish, greedy for life and afraid of death, and regard the world as a purgatory full of suffering.

It seems that if their holy bodies are tainted by even the slightest bit of worldly air, they would avoid it as much as possible.

The high-ranking gods cannot let go of their status, their power and respect in the divine realm.

The gods in the middle position also covet the comfort of the divine realm.
Addicted to a life of luxury and ease.

In desperation, they had to guard the mortal world and perform various difficult tasks.
It can only fall on the shoulders of these lower-level gods.

Moreover, this road to the mortal world is simply a road to death filled with thorns, blood, and despair.

If you want to come to the world, you must be cruel.
He destroyed the godhood that he had cultivated with so much effort and energy.
With this broken body, he was like a fragile lamb rushing into a pack of wolves, forcing his way into the mortal world.

Along the way, what we have to endure is far more than just a huge psychological gap.
There is also the devastating damage caused by the descent.

The moment they lost the protection of the godhead, their protective armor was ruthlessly stripped away, leaving them so fragile that they could be easily destroyed at the slightest mistake. If they were not careful, they would fall directly into the vast void and turn into dust.

Even if you survive by chance, your seriously injured body will need to sleep for endless years.
Only then can you recover some vitality and regain a bit of life.

Chu He saw the humiliation, anger and helplessness of Amaterasu, just like looking at a defeated clown.

When he spoke again, his voice was cold and hard: "It seems that you gods really value your lives."

After saying this, he stared at Amaterasu with a cold gaze and issued a final ultimatum: "So, are you willing to do this? I'll give you three seconds to think about it, or else!"

Amaterasu bit her lower lip tightly, her pearly teeth almost embedded in it.

He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from excessive force.
It was as if he wanted to hold all the hatred and unwillingness in his palms.

Hatred and helplessness were fiercely intertwined in her heart.
There was a struggle between the conscience and the desire in my mind, and there were two little figures pulling me madly.

Finally, under Chu He's endlessly oppressive gaze, she slowly lowered her head and squeezed out a voice from between her teeth: "I do."

After saying this, she took heavy and slow steps, and every step she took seemed to use up all her strength.

Xia Chengli and Tamamonomae quickly chased after him.

In the blink of an eye, the three figures disappeared at the palace gate.

For a moment, the palace was shrouded in a layer of dead silence, with only Chu He and Xu Fu facing each other.

Xu Fu was the first to break the silence, like a collector obsessed with treasures, carefully examining a rare treasure, staring at Chu He intently: "Do you have any questions for me?"

He was full of curiosity about this junior who had gone through countless years of trials and tribulations but had become increasingly powerful. In this world full of twists and turns, full of dangers, and full of countless secrets and dangers,

How did Chu He cultivate to such an astonishing level?
He was so curious that he felt like thousands of little hands were tickling his heart.

Chu He raised his head slightly and looked directly at Xu Fu: "I want to know, what happened back then?"

Xu Fu closed his eyes slightly, fell into a time tunnel, and returned to distant memories.

After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, revealing a complex light interwoven with countless lights and shadows.
There is a deep nostalgia for the past glorious years,
There is also a remembrance of the old friend who reappeared yesterday: "Back then, His Majesty Qin Shihuang had a sharp eye and had long been aware of the existence of gods.
I also know a thing or two about the mysterious heavenly palace hidden behind the clouds.

In such a turbulent and stormy situation,
The person in the whole world who has the best chance of breaking free from the shackles and becoming a god,

It must be none other than Your Majesty, who possesses the mighty aura of an emperor.

Your Majesty has the world in mind, and for the sake of a stable future for future generations,
In order to prevent the thousands of subjects under his rule from being oppressed by the unknown,
He resolutely chose to step forward, intending to rely on his own powerful strength to break through and become a god in one fell swoop, to compete with the Heavenly Palace, to support a peaceful sky for this world, and to block the darkness that was about to come. "

Before Xu Fu finished speaking, he saw a hint of doubt on Chu He's face.

Chu He said softly: "In many history books, Qin Shi Huang is highly praised and called the greatest emperor of all time."

When Xu Fu heard this, a trace of pride welled up on his face, as if he saw the majestic and domineering face of Qin Shihuang again,
His eyes were full of respect: “Yes, Your Majesty is worthy of being the greatest emperor of all time.

Back then, he waved his sword and pointed eastward, the God of War was born, and he unified the six kingdoms. Like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, he quickly and fiercely ended the chaotic situation of feudal separatism, wars and purgatory on earth since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

The pioneers who abolished the feudal system and established the new laid the basic structure of the feudal system and drew a new blueprint for the land of China.

Standardizing weights and measures, currency and writing broke down regional barriers and enabled smooth economic and cultural exchanges.

Building infrastructure and expanding territory ensured the well-being of the people and made the country increasingly prosperous.

Institutional reforms and the unification of ideology and culture are all beneficial to future generations.

When I mention His Majesty, the glorious past seems to come back to me as if it were yesterday."

Xu Fu became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had returned to that passionate and magnificent era.

Fight side by side with Qin Shi Huang and write legend again.

Chu He narrowed his eyes slightly and changed the subject: "But do you know? There are still many people who denounce Qin Shi Huang as a tyrant through the ages."

"Tyrant of all ages?"

Xu Fu shook his head slightly.

"For example, in order to consolidate the unified country, Qin Shi Huang

He once resolutely ordered the burning of books and burying of scholars.

At the order, books on practical science, such as law, which can rectify the social order, medicine, which can relieve the suffering of the people, divination, which can glimpse the mysteries of the heavens, and agriculture, which can ensure the people have enough food and clothing, were spared.

All other books that carried the seeds of wisdom and the inheritance of civilization were instantly involved in a catastrophe.
Mercilessly devoured by the raging fire, the jumping flames wantonly trampled on the crystallization of wisdom of countless ancestors.

Two years later, more than 400 Confucian scholars, these weak men of letters with minds full of Confucian classics and moral principles, were brutally killed.”

Chu He paused and continued, "Moreover, when the luxurious Afang Palace, which was built with all the ingenuity in the world, was constructed, a huge amount of labor resources were mobilized.

Countless people were forced to join in the work like ants. In the extremely arduous and hellish working environment, they suffered from physical and mental torture from overwork. Hunger was always around, diseases spread, and lives fell one after another.

There is also the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, which is so large that it can contain the rise and fall of an entire dynasty.
Hundreds of thousands of people were mobilized to build it, including slaves who were chained and forced to work.

These poor people toil day and night,
Just to satisfy the emperor's desire to dominate the underworld after his death.

Qin Shi Huang was even more ruthless. In order to prevent the secrets of the mausoleum from being leaked,

Extreme measures were taken against all the craftsmen and architects involved in the construction.
Those innocent people were buried forever in the dark corners of history, becoming victims of secrets without even a chance to resist.

Not only that, during the reign of Qin Shi Huang, he levied taxes without limit, like a greedy glutton. The taxes were extremely heavy, and the people were miserable, living in a purgatory of misery.

There are so many tyrannical behaviors of Qin Shi Huang that can be listed.
A book of crimes written in blood and tears."

Chu He said.

Xu Fu listened quietly, and instead smiled a bitter smile full of helplessness, as if he had seen through the world.

He shook his head slightly and said, "Later generations have been saying that Qin Shi Huang was cruel and ruthless, but why is he still called the greatest emperor of all time?

Do you know why His Majesty the First Emperor sent me to sea?

That was because the situation was already extremely critical and shaky, and Your Majesty was about to lose control of his own affairs.

Those mysterious guys in the Heavenly Palace who are high above and in control of the fate of all people will never allow the existence of someone as ambitious and talented as Qin Shihuang who attempts to challenge the will of heaven and break the shackles of theocracy.

At that time, the world was in chaos, and it was hard to tell humans from ghosts, just like the chaotic world at the beginning of time.
The forces of all parties are undercurrents surging. If we are not careful, we will be dragged into the endless abyss. The situation is extremely complicated.

You underestimate the Heavenly Palace's methods."

There was a hint of loneliness in Xu Fu's eyes.

……

Many places in the White-Red Empire have been shrouded in blood and rain.

Wantonly devouring the peace and tranquility of this land,
Screams and wails rang out one after another.

Amaterasu was very clear-headed. Xia Chengli and Tamamonomae followed her to do things.
To put it bluntly, Chu He had placed him by his side to supervise him.

But now that things have come to this, she also understands that if she continues to be indecisive, she will only be courting death.

Tamamonomae knew a lot about the situation of the White and Red Empire.

Therefore, Amaterasu did not intend to show mercy. If she was going to do it, she would do it thoroughly.

Swing out a decisive sword to cut off all retreat routes.

……

After everything is over.

Qin Shihuang's bronze coffin was sealed and taken back to the Great Xia Empire.

A few days later, a piece of heavy news broke out around the world.

It was as if a magnitude 10 earthquake had occurred, causing the world to shake violently.

The Great Xia Empire announced:

The White-Red Empire encountered a fierce invasion by a terrifying force and was trampled by the demon army. The masters of the territory fought desperately, but were ultimately powerless and all were killed, without anyone spared.

In order to protect the safety of the White-Red Empire and demonstrate the responsibility of a great power,

The Great Xia Empire will send elite forces to garrison there.

As soon as the news came out, it instantly caused a huge uproar and the whole world was in a huge sensation.

In the streets and alleys, people were talking about it, questioning and exclaiming.

“Many people know that there is an unforgettable blood feud between the Great Xia Empire and the White-Red Empire!
Will the Great Xia Empire really be so kind this time and send its elite forces to protect the safety of the White and Red Empire?"

"There must be something fishy going on here. Maybe it's a bigger conspiracy."

"Who knows? The situation in this world is becoming more and more incomprehensible..."

……

Zheng Qifeng, Xiang Xiufang, Zheng Bolan and Zheng Xuezhen, who have returned to the Great Xia Empire,
Naturally, I also saw this news.

Zheng Qifeng sat on the sofa in the spacious and bright living room, holding a tablet in his hand.

After reading the news carefully, I couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

He was able to gain a foothold in a foreign country and, with his wisdom and courage, created a second-tier real estate company. This ability has already surpassed most ordinary people.

So, after reading the news, he vaguely guessed it.

There must have been some unknown and shocking event behind this.

The power struggles and conflicts of interest hidden between the lines gradually pieced together a vague but heart-pounding outline in his mind. The giant beast hidden in the darkness made people tremble with fear.

"The White-Red Empire has completely changed. From now on, it will exist in name only."

Zheng Qifeng said.
