Chapter 702: 2 Great Powers
Before heading to Chang'an to kill the gods, out of curiosity, you visited the legendary Terracotta Army of Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum. You concluded that it was indeed majestic and imposing, symbolizing the supreme authority of the greatest emperor of all time. It implied that he had unified the world in his lifetime, and after his death, he would lead the Terracotta Army to gaze eastward, ensuring the eternal continuation of the Qin Dynasty.
[According to the concept that the greater one's fame in life, the higher their status after death, you can be sure that after you become a god in this world, you will definitely have the power to make falsehood come true and transform legends into abilities.]
[But for you personally, rather than being attached to the Terracotta Warriors, it would be better to actually command the Eternal Qin Empire and lead your people to conquer the world.]
On April 2015, 4, you arrived late at night at the ruins of a Tang Dynasty palace, a magnificent complex. The Daming Palace, located on Longshouyuan in the north of Chang'an City, comprises the Hanyuan Hall, Linde Hall, Sanqing Hall, Qingsi Hall, Xuanzheng Hall, and Zichen Hall. The Taiji Palace, located north of Chang'an City's central axis, served as the main palace of the Tang Empire. According to Luo Qi, Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde, two disobedient gods, roamed the three main inner chambers of the imperial palace at night. They possessed conscious awareness and did not actively harm anyone, but they would destroy all surrounding structures.
After searching for a while, you spotted the two disobedient gods in the northwest courtyard of the Taiji Palace. You could intuitively sense the intense pressure they exuded, a powerful aura that seemed to freeze even the air.
In your previous life, you were obsessed with exploring the path to immortality, but the so-called remains of immortals were all mechanized products of the flesh. Only now, for the first time, have you truly come face to face with a god.
Surprisingly, you remain quite calm. Gods do have their strengths, but there can be countless gods, and you are the only original emperor. Gods are not worthy of your admiration.
On the evening of April 2015, 4, you challenged two disobedient gods. Joining you in battle was the even more superior "Kuaiji Yishi." As an emperor, you offered the utmost fairness.
[After arriving in this world, in addition to possessing the two supreme abilities "Books Should Be Burned" and "Confucian Scholars Should Be Pitted," you also gained the ability to craft ceremonial attire. Over the past six months, in addition to crafting three Xiang Yus, you also crafted several ceremonial attire, one of which was the "God-Slaying Crossbow," which you used to kill the "Sea God."]
From the moment the battle began, your powerful spirit sensed a certain spying. If I'm not mistaken, the opponent must be Pandora, who manages the God Slayer's reincarnation ritual. And the two disobedient gods actually commented on this "God-Slaying Crossbow" as overly decorative and superficial?
This battle is far more difficult than you might imagine. Qin Qiong's power, while not only granting him the power to kill with a single strike, also possesses a certain ability to speak words. Once you've made a promise to him, you can't go back on your word. Furthermore, he can summon the legendary beast Hu Lei Bo, possessing the power to coerce, shock, and intimidate. His words are like "a galloping dragon, a flying tiger snatching away thieves." He can instantly accelerate to speeds of 300 kilometers per hour, truly achieving a level that would scare even the gods and ghosts.
The abilities of the disobedient Yuchi Jingde were not much different from those in the legend. He possessed the power of thunder and lightning, and could summon three hundred cavalrymen to charge. At the same time, a single whip could create a ditch over twenty meters long and twenty meters deep, so fast that it was impossible to dodge, and even Xiang Yu's powerful calculations struggled to catch up.
Your battle with the two disobedient gods lasted two full days. The aftermath of the battle nearly razed the entire Taiji Palace to the ground, causing a strange shift between heaven and earth. It felt as if even the air itself was resonating with the sounds of battle, becoming increasingly frenzied.
Roche, watching from the sidelines, felt dazed and lost in thought. He'd confirmed these past few days that you weren't the disobedient god he'd assumed you were, nor were you a godslayer. But perhaps only someone like you could truly achieve the feat of godslayer.
After a bitter battle, you ultimately stand victorious. Even the heavens seem to be on your side. Ultimately, you wield the "God-Slaying Crossbow" and kill both the disobedient Yuchi Gong and the disobedient Qin Qiong. As the disobedient Qin Qiong finally falls to the ground, the entire palace's inner chambers suddenly transform into a hollow, approximately thirty meters deep. At that moment, you sense a mysterious door opening for you. (Legendary Level +1)
A purple-haired girl appears beside you, clapping her hands. She tells you that the door you see is called the Door of Truth, the legendary gateway through which mortals must pass to become saints. Those who are cowardly, greedy, mediocre, and possess all the other vices of humanity will never be able to reach it.
You chose not to pay attention to Him, instead calmly observing the pattern on the Gate of Truth. It depicted a gigantic tree, which reminded you of the Fusang tree from the Eternal Qin Empire—a sacred tree belonging to the immortal realm. It was through analyzing the Fusang tree that you finally understood the mystery of life.
The purple-haired girl tells you that the tree above the door is the legendary Tree of Life. The ten wings beneath it represent various powers. In the past, all those who fought against the gods and defeated them were left on the verge of death. Only through them can reincarnation be performed. In the past two thousand years, you are the only one who has stood the test.
[At the same time, the Door of Truth, which had been half-open, suddenly opened. You put your hands behind your back and walked in without hesitation. Instantly, your eyes were engulfed by a dazzling light.]
The moment you pass through the Gate of Truth, a sudden realization dawns on you: the power of the gods is constantly being transferred to you. At this moment, you should chant the Words of God-Slayer. This is the God-Slayer's triumphant song boasting about the power he has usurped from the gods. It also demonstrates his fierce determination to master the power to slay the gods.
Before your eyes, scenes flashed by. There was the moment you ascended the throne at the age of 12, sitting on the throne of King Qin. There was the moment you quelled the rebellion of Marquis Changxin Lao Ai at the age of 21, eliminated the powerful minister Lü Buwei, and began to rule the country yourself. There was the moment you, with the surviving spirit of six generations, successively conquered Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qi, completing the great cause of unifying the six kingdoms. There was the moment you implemented the standardization of writing and wheel gauges, stipulated that the law should be the teaching method and officials should be the teachers. There was the moment you defeated the Xiongnu in the north, recovered Henan, and built the Great Wall...
[In this world, these are myths, but they are also reality.]
A ray of light descends from the sky, and you suddenly open your eyes, discovering your own status is constantly rising, and your body is evolving towards the strength of a holy body. You close your eyes, then open them again, reciting a spiritual word that is unique to you.
[All under heaven belongs to the king; all within the four seas are his subjects.]
[In the illusion, a magnificent golden throne rises from the ground. This is your power, the eternal throne.]
[The effect is that you can issue orders to anyone of lower status than yourself, and they cannot disobey your orders. (You have obtained the power: Eternal Throne)]
You've previously learned from Roche that powers are acquired based on the Godslayer's personality. It's even possible to gain a power unrelated to the gods, but the scope of power never exceeds that of killing gods. The Eternal Throne undoubtedly exceeds the power of the two previous Disobedient Gods. This indirectly confirms your suspicion that when you first crossed over, you were likely half Disobedient God, half human. Killing gods simply grants you the opportunity to cross the Gate of Truth and ascend to higher status.
[In addition, you have gained a power that can cause the surrounding civilization to regress to the Qin and Han dynasties. Simultaneously, a large number of heavily armed Qin warriors armed with bows and crossbows will appear in the surrounding area. Mechanical and firearm items, which did not exist at the time, will be completely inoperable. The effect is limited to a small city and lasts for approximately six hours. If you infuse it with powerful divine energy, the coverage area and duration will increase dramatically. In your opinion, this power is enough to pose a formidable threat to the world.]
