Chapter 403: Eager for Quick Success?

Great Qin, now under the governance of Ying Zheng and a group of ministers, saw its national destiny and strength climbing at high speed.

Even twenty years later, Great Qin's power would absolutely be able to recover to the Shang and Zhou periods, especially the period of Zhou Wang.

With Great Qin's current resources, cultivating Great Qin's army, by then, they would likely be able to cultivate thirty million elite troops.

Twenty years later, sending troops would have a greater chance of winning. Even in Su Fan's view, a hundred years later would be the best time to take action.

Anyway, by then, Ying Zheng would only be two hundred years old, still not at the end of his life.

And by then, Great Qin's strength would be absolutely very powerful, even if it couldn't compare to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, it would be about the same.

After all, the concepts and various technologies Su Fan brought had too great an impact on the improvement of productivity.

The Earth of later generations had productivity thousands of times that of ancient times. This world was a supernatural world; top-tier strong individuals could destroy later generations.

However, the concepts and technologies of later generations also had a very great influence on this world.

With improved productivity, Great Qin had enough grain, the people could live and work in peace, the army was like later generations, with sufficient grain and meat, and the soldiers were trained continuously, so their strength would also continuously improve.

Great Qin's army's strength would also continuously rise. Those with talent would be constantly promoted in the army, eventually standing out and becoming Great Qin's experts.

Great Qin didn't need to be anxious at all. As long as they developed slowly, sooner or later, they would be able to suppress the Divine Court.

After all, the Divine Court's strength didn't rely on one or two years to improve; they couldn't even improve a bit for thousands of years.

The Divine Court itself was composed of those innate deities and some powerful demon beasts. Their strength relied on the passage of time to improve, and this time was based on thousands of years.

Great Qin was different. Although Great Qin's national destiny would sooner or later reach its peak and then slowly decline.

But at least while Ying Zheng was in power, it would not decline. With an enlightened monarch in power and wise ministers assisting, the national destiny would not be bad.

So Su Fan suddenly felt that Ying Zheng was a bit eager for quick success. Historically, his eagerness for quick success had some explanations; after all, a person's lifespan was only so long, and he wanted to hand over Great Qin to his descendants smoothly.

But in this world, Ying Zheng didn't need to. With his cultivation, living three hundred years was not difficult, and even five hundred years was very likely.

Great Qin's national destiny was constantly increasing; the further in time, the stronger the national destiny.

Annexing the Fusang islands could indeed improve Great Qin's national strength. However, to be honest, in Su Fan's eyes, Fusang's potential was only so much.

To completely integrate Fusang into Great Qin would take at least twenty years of effort. In twenty years, the increase in Great Qin's national destiny would likely be more than annexing Fusang.

"Minister Su! You have been loyal to Great Qin all these years, so I will not hide it from you."

"I also know that if Great Qin develops step by step, twenty years later, Great Qin's power will double, and even in a hundred years, it will inevitably be able to suppress the Divine Court and annihilate the Divine Court in one fell swoop."

"Unfortunately, I don't have that much time."

Ying Zheng's words shocked Su Fan.

"Your Majesty, how is that possible? Although I cannot see through Your Majesty's cultivation, I know Your Majesty's cultivation is profound. It should be fine to live three hundred years."

Over these years, getting along with Ying Zheng as monarch and minister, Su Fan was also very convinced by Ying Zheng's personality charm.

There were truly not many emperors in the world who had Ying Zheng's breadth of mind. And to be honest, as an emperor, Ying Zheng was like a Dao seeker, having no desires, and his only pursuit was to lead Great Qin to surpass the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

His Dao was to pursue literary and martial achievements surpassing the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Anything else was not a matter for Ying Zheng.

He didn't seek fame, especially posthumous fame. Other emperors might care about fame, especially posthumous fame and folk reputation, but Ying Zheng didn't care.

What he sought was to lead Great Qin to surpass the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, making Great Qin's humanity the foundation for ten thousand generations.

Such an emperor truly surpassed him in pattern. Su Fan himself, even when he unified the world in the Shenhan world, was only planning for his own cultivation.

As the saying goes, "If a man does not work for himself, heaven and earth will destroy him."

But Ying Zheng's ideals were worth Su Fan's respect. So these years, he had also fully invested in Great Qin, assisting Ying Zheng and completing some changes to Great Qin.

Now Great Qin still governed by Legalism, but some inappropriate Qin laws had been eliminated.

Originally, he thought Ying Zheng was eager for quick success, but now it seemed there was a reason: his time was running out.

"When I was a hostage in Handan, I was injured. Although after returning to the country, I was treated by royal experts and recovered, and later cultivated the royal method, my cultivation progressed very quickly, but I didn't expect there to be sequelae."

"Although My cultivation is high, My lifespan is nearly half gone. If I don't break through to Heaven and Human Unity, I only have three sixty-year cycles of lifespan."

"So I don't have time, I cannot wait."

Ying Zheng said in a low voice. Not many people knew this news; only a few royal family members loyal to Great Qin and people like Bai Qi knew.

Now there was one more, and that was Su Fan.

Ying Zheng was willing to tell Su Fan because Su Fan was very important to Great Qin. Over these five years, the governance concepts Su Fan proposed and put into actual practice had indeed made Great Qin's national strength increase extremely quickly, and the national destiny had surged again and again.

The current Su Fan was even more important than Shang Yang during the period of Duke Xiao. Ying Zheng didn't want the former to be alienated, so naturally, he wouldn't hide it from the other party.

And after Su Fan finished listening, he couldn't speak for a long time, and his heart was also surging. So that was it; this was heaven-ordained.

"Since Your Majesty has decided, I will inevitably do my best to assist Your Majesty."

It had come to this, so Su Fan also understood that Ying Zheng had made up his mind and naturally could not stop him.

Taking action now, Great Qin was not without the power to fight. After all, Great Qin's strength had skyrocketed these years, and its national destiny had surged. Not only did Su Fan get benefits, but those Great Qin experts also did.

Their cultivation had also increased, especially Bai Qi. This person's cultivation had reached the peak of the Military School. The strongest of the Military School was Sun Tzu, who was also at the peak of Three Flowers back then.

As for Jiang Shang, he was not an orthodox Military School disciple, and his cultivation back then was only at the Three Flowers Realm.

Heaven and Human Unity was considered the peak of the world. Those who could reach this were also very few.

The current Divine Court did not have such power; otherwise, they would have been unable to hold back from taking action against Great Qin long ago.

One Heaven and Human Unity could absolutely overturn everything.

During the period of Zhou Wang, the Divine Court had the Taiyi Divine Emperor, which was why they could destroy the Yin Shang.

Of course, Taiyi also perished together with him. Zhou Wang was also ruthless enough.

However, he did indeed have great merit for humanity, sacrificing the Yin Shang in exchange for the Divine Court being severely injured again. ===== CHAPTER 404 =====
