Da Qin: Conquer all heavens and all realms

Chapter 290: The Emperor of Heaven Finger, All Treasures Return to Qin

You could hear a pin drop in the entire hall.

Everyone was stunned by Ying Zheng's actions. This wasn't just arrogance; this was arrogance to the extreme!

Wanbao Daojun's expression finally turned gloomy.

"Your Majesty, this is the way we treat guests at Wanbao Tower. Please abide by it." He said coldly.

Ying Zheng picked up the jade cup on the table, gently swirled the nectar inside, sniffed it, then put it down and said calmly, "My way of treating guests is law. My law is my rules. In my rules, there is only monarch and subject, not host and guest."

He raised his head, his eyes like lightning, staring directly at Wanbao Daojun: "Do you want to discuss the relationship between monarch and subject, or the rules with me?"

"How dare you!" Wanbao Daojun slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Boy, do you really think we dare not kill you?!"

Ying Zheng didn't even raise his eyelids, but just said to Li Si: "Remember this, this man, who spoke rudely, should be executed."

Li Si immediately took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve and carved the word "执" (punishment) on it with a carving knife.

This scene made everyone feel absurd and terrified.

Write it down? Kill someone just for carving a word? What kind of operation is this?

Wanbao Daojun finally realized that he was completely unable to communicate with this young man. Their cognition was not on the same level at all.

"Good! What a 'law'!" Wanbao Daojun laughed in anger, "I want to see if your law can save your life today!"

He stood up suddenly, and a terrifying pressure swept through the entire hall like a storm.

This pressure is at the pinnacle of Class B civilization and is enough to destroy the soul of an ordinary cultivator.

"Since you are so ungrateful, I will leave your life as your first tuition fee for entering the heavens!"

Before he finished speaking, he gently pressed his withered palm towards Ying Zheng.

In an instant, the entire space seemed to freeze. Time, laws, and energy were all controlled by his palm, forming an absolute domain from which no escape could be made.

All the B-level clan leaders present had pale faces. They could feel that under this palm, not to mention Ying Zheng, even an entire star field would be instantly smashed into powder!

This is the power of a Class B civilization giant!

However, facing this devastating blow, Ying Zheng did not even move.

He just looked at Wanbao Daojun with a hint of pity in his eyes.

"Is this your power?"

"This is what you call 'rules'?"

"I am very disappointed."

He slowly raised his right hand and lightly tapped the pressed palm with his index finger.

There is no earth-shaking momentum and no dazzling brilliance.

Just a little.

A tiny, insignificant light, like a firefly.

But it was this point that made a crisp "ding" sound when it touched the palm of Wanbao Daojun.

Like the sound of metal clashing.

Wanbao Daojun's palm, which was powerful enough to destroy the stars, was frozen in mid-air by this very point, and could no longer move forward!

"What?!" Wanbao Daojun's pupils suddenly shrank, his face full of disbelief.

He felt his own strength vanish, as if it were a drop in the ocean. And within that tiny ray of light, a supreme power of "order" he had never seen before, was disintegrating his laws and annihilating his magical powers!

"My laws judge all things, including supernatural powers." Ying Zheng's voice rang out again, calm but carrying the majesty of judgment. "You, using force to bully others, disrupt order, deserve to be punished by the state."

Punish the country!

These two words, like thunder from the sky, exploded in Wanbao Daojun's mind.

Before he could react, Ying Zheng's finger moved forward again and made a light stroke.

An invisible line extended from his fingertips, crossed the space, and crossed the body of Wanbao Daojun.

Wanbao Daojun's movements were frozen in an instant.

He lowered his head, staring at his chest in disbelief. There, a tiny, almost invisible black crack was rapidly spreading.

"No... Impossible... I... I am a giant of Class B civilization... I have an infinite lifespan... I..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

"boom!"

A soft sound.

Wanbao Daojun, this super existence that dominated the Wanbao Star Domain, this old monster who had lived for countless years, just like a broken porcelain, crumbled into pieces under the gaze of everyone, turning into flying ashes, and not even a trace of his soul could escape.

The entire Wanbao Palace was in deathly silence.

Everyone was completely stunned by this sudden and incredible scene.

A giant of a Class B civilization was just... wiped out by a single finger?

Like wiping away a speck of dust?

Ying Zheng slowly withdrew his fingers, as if he had just done something insignificant.

He glanced at the full house of guests. Those B-level clan leaders who had previously looked down on him were now all pale and trembling, not even daring to raise their heads.

"I have said," his voice echoed in the hall like a decree from heaven, "my laws are enforced throughout the heavens."

"Today, we will start from the Wanbao Star Region."

"Li Si, pass on my decree. Wanbao Tower will be incorporated into the Great Qin territory effective immediately. All personnel must remain on standby and await the takeover. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy."

"Yes!" Li Si bowed and accepted the order, with a hint of excitement in his voice.

Ying Zheng stood up, swept his eyes across the entire room, and finally, looked at the deep starry sky.

"Next, it's time to meet with the so-called 'Class A Council'."

"I want to see who is the true ruler in this universe!"

……

On the top of the Wanbao Tower, the scene of Wanbao Daojun’s soul being annihilated and turned into ashes was like a silent thunder, exploding in every corner of the Wanbao Star Domain.

This thunder was not transmitted through sound, but through a more mysterious way - the vibration of cause and effect and the law of Tao, which was imprinted on the minds of all powerful people in civilization above Class B.

Inside the Wanbao Palace, after the dead silence, there was fear and awe as overwhelming as the roar of a tsunami.

Those clan leaders of the Class B civilization who originally had ulterior motives and intended to unite to fight against the Qin Dynasty were now pale and wished they could bury their heads in the ground.

They witnessed with their own eyes how a giant who was like a god in their eyes was easily wiped out by the young emperor who called himself "I" with just one finger.

It was not a clash of strength, nor a collision of magic weapons, but a crushing from a higher dimension.

Like an ant, unable to understand the world of a giant, he could only accept his fate in despair in the face of such absolute power.

Ying Zheng ignored the thoughts of these ants.

He turned around and walked down the jade steps that symbolized the highest power in Wanbao Tower. Each step he took was on the void, but it made a clanging sound like the sound of metal clashing.

Behind him, Li Si, Meng Tian and other important officials of the Qin Dynasty, as well as teams of red-armored warriors as silent as mountains, followed closely.

This team is not large in number, but it seems to carry the momentum of thousands of troops and the will of a civilization, crushing the entire Wanbao Palace.

"Wanbaolou, from now on, will be renamed 'Daqin Wanbaosi.'" Ying Zheng's voice was calm, yet carried undeniable authority. "Li Si, you will temporarily take over as Chief Justice. Inventory the assets and reorganize the personnel. Bring all of this local business network and intelligence channels under the control of Daqin. What I want is not a cash cow, but eyes and ears that can reach the heavens."

"Your Majesty, I obey!" Li Si's eyes gleamed. The depth of the Wanbao Tower far exceeded his imagination. If they could fully digest it, the Qin Empire's understanding of the universe would increase exponentially. This would be far more valuable than simply conquering a hundred star regions.

"Meng Tian," Ying Zheng turned his gaze towards the general, "I order your Black Armor Army to station at strategic points throughout the Wanbao Star Region. All Class B civilizations must send envoys here within ten days to submit a surrender letter and accept the revised laws of the Great Qin. Those who fail to arrive within the deadline will be considered traitors, and the Black Armor Army will carry out the punishment on behalf of Heaven."

"General, I obey!" Meng Tian clasped his fists, his voice resonant as a bell. War was the fate of him and his men. Now, the myriad worlds were the new battlefield, and this made his blood boil once again.

One decree after another, like imperial edicts descending from heaven, came out in an orderly manner from the Wanbao Palace, which had just changed hands.

There is no chaos, no massacre, only a cold and efficient order that is rapidly replacing the originally chaotic and disorderly jungle law in the Wanbao Star Region.

Those frightened Class B civilizations chose to compromise after a brief hesitation and panic.

The envoys they sent, carrying rich tributes and trembling with fear, poured into the Wanbao Palace, which is now the Daqin Wanbao Division.

They saw a completely new order - an order built of iron and blood, law and majesty.
