Chapter 402: Target Nine Infants

Great Qin's strength was rising crazily.

Although Su Fan had been busy building roads, he was not unconcerned about other things, especially in the last two years. In Sanghai Cheng, Great Qin built more than ten shipyards, and the Mirage ships built numbered twenty.

These twenty ships could form a massive navy, not to mention that there were some secondary warships, numbering in the hundreds.

Especially this year, Ying Zheng mobilized another two hundred thousand Imperial Guards to Sanghai Cheng. These twenty years of Imperial Guards had all experienced two years of seaside training.

This time, mobilizing them to Sanghai Cheng went without saying.

Su Fan already felt that Ying Zheng was about to move.

The first target was the place where Fusang, the little Japan, was located.

Japan in this era truly existed, and there were quite a few people on it. Besides the local natives, there were also descendants of the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties.

However, the current Japan was under the rule of several deities, and the most famous among them was that Yamata no Orochi.

Of course, it was naturally not called Yamata no Orochi now, but Nine Infants.

Nine Infants, the Nine-Headed Snake God, was a Three Flowers Realm demon god in the Divine Court.

The Yamata no Orochi of later generations was said to be this Nine Infants after one of its heads was chopped off by someone, fleeing to the side of the Sea of Japan, and then seen by the little devils, who worshipped it as a god, becoming Yamata no Orochi.

Of course, this was just a later saying. In this world now, Nine Infants' strength was not weak, even stronger than Kunwu of Kunlun.

Especially with nine heads, each having its own divine ability, it was very powerful.

It was the most powerful deity in Fusang. Back then in the Divine Court, its status was not low, and it was even said to have contended with Taiyi, but was defeated, so it left the Huaxia mainland and headed to the sea.

Ying Zheng wanting to crusade against the Divine Court was not something he could do by attacking the Divine Court's lair all at once; that was unrealistic, and Great Qin did not have that ability.

Great Qin's experts were still a bit inferior to the Divine Court, especially in the number of Three Flowers, which could not compare to the Divine Court. However, Great Qin could rely on the army; millions of elite troops, plus dozens of famous generals, could also condense several Three Flowers combat powers.

However, these armies could only be in Great Qin's territory. The Divine Court's lair was established in mountains and rivers, where the army could not reach. Without these combat powers, Great Qin was naturally much weaker.

Su Fan understood Ying Zheng's idea: to defeat them one by one, first slaughtering the deities in various places, forcing the Divine Court to come and fight a decisive battle with Great Qin.

Fusang Continent had five Divine Court deities. This news was actually told to Ying Zheng by Su Fan.

Later, Ying Zheng sent people to investigate and confirmed this news.

One Three Flowers, four Five Qi deities.

Plus this continent of Fusang, Su Fan knew Ying Zheng had endured for five years and finally could not hold back anymore.

So he asked a question.

Sure enough, Ying Zheng nodded and said slowly: "Back then, Minister Su, you told Me this news. I subsequently sent people to scout. At that time, I thought about taking down that continent and taking down those few deities."

"It's just that the empire was unstable at the time. If the army was mobilized and there was an accident, it would not be a good thing for Great Qin, so I endured it at the time."

"These five years, because of you, My love, Great Qin's national strength has risen several levels. Now I want to ask the Lord of Wu'an to send one million troops to take down that continent."

"Even if the ocean is full of crises, and even if My million-strong army is swallowed by the sea, it will not hurt Great Qin's foundation."

"So I don't want to wait anymore."

"Your Majesty, the land of Fusang is within Great Qin's reach, and even that Nine Infants, with the Lord of Wu'an taking action, will inevitably die. But this might alert the enemy."

"Once Nine Infants dies, it will inevitably shake the Divine Court. The Divine Court will likely not be as it was before. They will inevitably know that Your Majesty is serious."

"At that time, they will likely unite to attack the empire."

Although Great Qin had improved very quickly in these five years under his assistance, he felt that Great Qin was still not prepared.

If they could unify all of humanity, Su Fan believed they might be able to suppress the Divine Court.

But this was impossible. Ying Zheng never had the prestige of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to command all of humanity, or even command alien races.

Ying Zheng could command these Qin people, but some people would not pay attention to Ying Zheng. Those reclusive experts, unless humanity faced a crisis of extinction, might they come out.

Some people might not even care if humanity perished.

The deeper one's cultivation, the more indifferent they were. "The Supreme One forgets emotions" was not the Dao, but natural.

All things in heaven and earth were the same to them.

The Heavenly Dao is impartial, the Great Dao is impartial. Many cultivators pursue the principles of heaven and earth, cultivating the Heavenly Dao and Great Dao. Over time, they might even forget what they are.

And many who cultivate to the Three Flowers Realm, touching the realm of Heaven and Human Unity, would face the crisis of "becoming the Dao."

They couldn't even perceive it themselves.

Su Fan, with the help of Great Qin's library, did indeed see records about this, especially in Daoism. The more determined their Dao heart, the more likely they were to walk this path.

Conversely, those deep in the red dust of the world rarely had this crisis of becoming the Dao.

Because they had seven emotions and six desires, it was difficult to touch the Heavenly Dao, and naturally, they couldn't reach the realm of "The Supreme One forgets emotions."

But this path of cultivation was simply too difficult. After all, tempering the heart in the red dust was too painful, much more difficult than hiding in deep mountains to cultivate in peace.

So Daoism had the most experts, but these people with deep cultivation were almost separated from humanity.

This was also the reason why Daoism was powerful but not feared by those in power. Daoist cultivators did not like the red dust and single-mindedly pursued the Great Dao.

There was no threat, and of course, it was difficult to borrow their power; they were isolated from the world.

Even Ying Zheng had no way.

Su Fan, residing in the center, also knew that Great Qin's power was indeed very strong, with many experts, and even some experts from the former six states had joined Great Qin, becoming Great Qin's secret agents.

On this point, it had to be said that Ying Zheng's charm was quite great.

However, facing the Divine Court, Great Qin still did not have much certainty because the Divine Court's power was simply too strong.

Especially those deities who separated from the Divine Court in the Western continents back then. Because they had ruled several continents for tens of thousands of years, the faith they absorbed made their strength grow very quickly.

Their strength could not be underestimated, and they were also eyeing Great Qin covetously.

Once Great Qin and the Divine Court went to war, these deities would inevitably not sit idly by. Regardless, they were also deities of the Divine Court, even if they had separated.

But knowing Ying Zheng's ambition, would they let Ying Zheng have his way?

When the lips are gone, the teeth are cold; those deities naturally understood this truth. Moreover, even the deities of the Eastern Divine Court were not a bit weaker than Great Qin. ===== CHAPTER 403 =====
