Chapter 18: The Emperor Exhausts Creation, Casting the Great Wall of Humanity

The tide of uprisings across the world was vast and mighty, seemingly poised to sweep across the entire Great Qin.

Above Mount Tai, Heaven said coldly, "Do you see, Ying Zheng? Those who defy Heaven bring about their own destruction. Withdraw now, and I shall spare your life."

Heaven feared that brilliant Human Dao; it was born from humanity's initial desires, and later grew its own ambition.

Only by making the Human Race constantly worship it could it remain high above.

And the Human Emperor Dao was precisely digging at its roots.

"Soldiers of Qin, you follow a tyrant and seek your own deaths. Now I give you a chance: leave Ying Zheng, overthrow Great Qin, and I will grant you a chance at eternal life."

While battling Ying Zheng, Heaven attempted to bewitch the hearts of the people.

From its initial birth amidst ignorance to later being high above, enjoying the offerings of the Human Race.

Heaven understood the Human Race better than the Human Race understood itself, and was clearer on the deep-seated flaws in human character.

They are greedy, they are proud, they are arrogant, they are cunning.

If faced with a powerful enemy, they can be united as one.

But if they gain even the slightest advantage, they will fall into internal strife.

This is the Human Race.

It cannot be denied that the Human Race has birthed one supreme Heavenly Pride and peerless hero after another.

The Three Sovereigns, the Five Emperors, and the Human Sages—which one of them was not a brilliant talent of the Human Race who led the rise of humanity with their own hands?

Yet even these sages of the Human Race would face backstabbing from within the Human Race.

Why was Heaven able to become the Son of Heaven and be worshipped by the Human Race for eight hundred years?

It was likewise because of the internal struggles of the Human Race.

The Human Race is the protagonist of heaven and earth, but the Human Race as a species has always been the most contradictory.

Heaven promised the temptation of immortality, wanting to shake the will of the Great Qin soldiers.

But the only answer to Heaven was the indomitable charge of the Great Qin soldiers.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Slay Heaven! Slay Heaven!"

In the eyes of the Great Qin soldiers, Great Qin had only one will, and that was the will of His Majesty.

Even Heaven could not shake it.

Ying Zheng spoke with disdain, "A bunch of defeated foes, that is all. I could defeat them once, and I can defeat them twice. Is this your final resort?"

During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, Ying Zheng was still able to sweep across the Nine Provinces and the Six Directions.

How much more so now?

Ying Zheng continued indifferently, "If this is your final trump card, then it ends here."

"Ying Zheng, oh Ying Zheng, you do not know my greatness at all. Your power is not worth mentioning in my eyes. Does your power come from the Human Race? Then now, I shall directly shatter your reliance."

Heaven released supreme Heavenly Will, then stirred up the desires of heaven and earth.

The Qi of the seven emotions and six desires raged throughout the territory of Great Qin, inciting the most primitive desires; the entire populace of Great Qin began to slaughter one another, falling into chaos.

This was Heavenly Heart replacing human heart, and Heavenly Will replacing human will, to incite the Human Race to slaughter one another.

The power of the Human Emperor came from the people of Great Qin, and now Heaven wanted to disintegrate this power.

Only the Great Qin soldiers could resist this erosion from Heavenly Will with their iron-blooded will.

"Petty tricks, nothing more than means that cannot be brought to the table."

Ying Zheng said lightly, "If this is all, then I am too disappointed."

Ying Zheng's profound black dragon robe moved without wind, driving the Humanity Torrent.

"With the Great Dao above, today I, Ying Zheng, cast the Twelve Metal Colossi to slay Heaven, and cast the Great Wall of Humanity to suppress Humanity's Fortune."

Ying Zheng directly invoked the Human Dao Trend, gathering Humanity's Fortune together.

Divine phoenixes sang in harmony, red clouds were intoxicating, and immortal brilliance steamed upward, covering the firmament for a hundred thousand miles.

And Ying Zheng was like the most ancient emperor descending into the mortal world beneath the vast sky, holding high the Human Sovereign Great Dao.

He manifested as a scorching sun of heaven and earth, with countless ancient characters hanging high in the void, illuminating the world; that was the source of human civilization.

The figures of the Three Sovereigns, the Five Emperors, and the seventy-two Human Sages appeared one by one, smiling as they looked at Ying Zheng.

The ancient Ancestral God Ballad resounded throughout heaven and earth.

The sages of the Human Race chanted the oldest ballad of the Human Race together.

"That broken giant mountain is the spine of heaven and earth,

That dry yellow mud is the blood plasma of the earth,

Those mountain-like bones are the sorrow of our ancestors.

Thousands of years later, zithers and flutes play in harmony, praising the Supreme Great Dao to prosper forever.

Who still remembers that Suiren lit the way forward for the Human Race?

How can one forget that Shennong tasted the hundred herbs and buried his bones in a foreign land?

And does anyone know that Nuwa wept blood to mend the sky, and with the essence of her flesh and blood, our Human Race was able to continue and flourish?

"

Blood of the firmament, essence of the earth, Yin and Yang at war, weeping blood over the mysterious yellow.

Songs of a prosperous age, heaven and earth in harmony, Human Dao Prosperity.

How can one forget?

How can one forget?

The sages of the Human Race sang the oldest Ancestral God Ballad of the Human Race, and tears appeared in the eyes of countless humans present.

"Cannot forget! Cannot forget!"

In this instant, countless people within Great Qin felt a resonance, looking toward the direction of Mount Tai.

"Must not forget! Must not forget!"

Within Great Qin, the Humanity Torrent surged mightily, sweeping away all ghosts, demons, and evil spirits.

A prosperous age of joyful songs, weeping blood for the Yan and Huang.

Yes, must not forget. Must not forget!

The subjects of Great Qin were contributing their own strength in their own way.

Their strength, like tiny specks of starlight, gathered atop Mount Tai.

A single spark will eventually start a prairie fire, cleansing all evil in the world.

Ying Zheng steered the Great Qin National Fortune Dragon, summoning the sages of the Human Race to descend, bringing the Human Dao Trend to forge the Great Wall of Humanity.

The Three Sovereigns, the Five Emperors, the seventy-two great sages of the Human Race, and the figures of all the ancestors of the Human Race were all fused into the Great Wall of Humanity.

Even after death, the various sages of the Human Race were still protecting the Human Race in their own way.

The various sages of the Human Race looked at Ying Zheng with gratification; seeing a descendant such as this, they truly had no regrets even in death.

This was a scene sufficient to remain eternal in the world.

In Qin Emperor Calendar Year One, there was a Human Emperor who exhausted Creation, summoned the Human Dao Trend, and used the Humanity Torrent to forge the Great Wall of Humanity above the firmament.

The Great Wall of Humanity stood tall above the Nine Provinces, suppressing Si Hai Ba Huang.

The Great Wall of Humanity and the Humanity Torrent shall shine forever in all ten directions.

The radiance of the Human Dao blossomed within Great Qin, and the power of all the demons and monsters within Great Qin was completely cleansed.

The Will of Heaven was directly suppressed, replaced by the Will of Humanity.

On this day, the Emperor exhausted Creation, forged the Great Wall of Humanity, cleansed all evil in the world, and changed the Human Realm.

Atop Mount Tai, the high and mighty Heaven could not help but let out a miserable shriek.

Using the Will of Heaven to incite the Will of Humanity and stir up the negative emotions of everyone within Great Qin required the expenditure of power.

But now, this power had been directly cleansed away.

Even more terrifying was that Ying Zheng had used the Great Wall of Humanity to suppress Humanity's Fortune; within Great Qin, the Will of Heaven had nowhere to hide and was directly excluded.

This is the Human Dao Trend, this is the Great Wall of Humanity.

The power of the Human Emperor comes from the Human Dao Trend, just as the power of Heaven comes from the worship of humans.

Now, Ying Zheng had directly used the Great Wall of Humanity to suppress the Nine Provinces, weakening the foundation of the Will of Heaven's existence.

Under the suppression of the Great Wall of Humanity, Heaven itself was also wounded by the Human Dao Trend.

Heaven was angry; it was truly angry.
