Da Qin: Conquer all heavens and all realms

Chapter 270: The Emperor's Order to Open the Underworld, Legalized Reincarnation

Ying Zheng's earth-shattering decree - "Establish the underworld and control reincarnation" - was like an invisible divine thunder, striking fiercely on the hearts of every knowledgeable person in the heavens and myriad worlds.

Outside the Xianyang Palace, for the first time, a violent fluctuation appeared on the solemn face of Manjushri Bodhisattva.

The compassion and detachment in his eyes were replaced by a hint of incredible horror.

He thought Ying Zheng would argue forcefully, use his power to pressure others, and even resort to force, but he never expected that the other party would give such an answer... one that was extremely outrageous, yet extremely domineering!

Establish the underworld and control reincarnation?

Each of these words carries a weight of over a thousand pounds.

This means that Ying Zheng not only has to break the old order, but also has to create a brand new order core of his own with his own hands!

This is no longer a challenge to the authority of Heaven, but an attempt to completely replace it and become the new "Heavenly Way" of the heavens and all worlds!

"Amitabha..." Manjushri Bodhisattva chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice, a barely perceptible tremor in his voice. "Your Majesty is so courageous, so ambitious...! This act of defying fate and controlling the cycle of reincarnation, one can only imagine the magnitude of the causal relationship and the magnitude of the calamity contained within it."

Ying Zheng stood at the palace gate, his gaze like lightning, staring directly at Manjusri, his voice filled with unquestionable dominance: "Karma? Fate? My laws are karma! My will is fate! Bodhisattva, you keep talking about karma, but have you ever seen the lonely souls of those who died unjustly, wandering in the chaos for thousands of years, unable to be reborn? Have you ever seen those who are extremely kind, falling into hell, unable to rise again because of a momentary mistake? Your karma is a shackle, a bondage, an excuse to keep the strong strong and the weak weak forever!"

He waved his hand fiercely, his voice resonating through the heavens: "And my reincarnation is justice! It is judgment! It is to ensure that every living being, regardless of past lives or present lives, whether immortal or mortal, demonic or devil, can receive the most fair judgment! Good is rewarded with good, and evil is punished with evil. This is not just empty words, but an iron law that I will personally carve between heaven and earth!"

These words, resoundingly powerful, ignited an unprecedented fire in the hearts of the countless envoys from oppressed worlds below. Justice! Judgment! This was something they had never dared to imagine in their dreams!

Manjushri Bodhisattva was silent.

He couldn't argue.

Because what Ying Zheng said is exactly the drawbacks that do exist in certain extreme situations in Buddhism.

The cycle of cause and effect may seem fair, but it is actually subject to countless variables and often deviates.

What Ying Zheng proposed was an absolute, idealized ultimate judgment that would be led by him alone.

This is a denial of "impermanence" and another interpretation of "compassion".

"Since Your Majesty has made up his mind," Manjusri Bodhisattva sighed, a complex look flashing in his eyes, "I will wait and see. However, this reincarnation in the underworld is no small matter. It is the foundation of heaven and earth, and it cannot be achieved overnight. Your Majesty wishes to use human power to represent the power of heaven, but I am afraid..."

"Afraid of what?" Ying Zheng sneered, "Afraid I can't do it?"

He no longer looked at Manjusri, but turned to the ministers below and ordered: "Pass on my order!"

"Order Bai Qi to lead a million heavenly soldiers, with the 'Prison Suppressor' as the vanguard, to dig through the void beneath the Blue Sky World and establish the 'Netherworld'! In this Netherworld, I will build a 'Fengdu City' as the seat of the underworld!"

"I order Li Si to be the 'Envoy for the Construction of the Underworld' and to gather all the skilled craftsmen from around the world, including Mohist mechanical engineers, Taoist formation masters, and Confucian ritual officials, to collaboratively design the layout of Fengdu City, establish the Ten Courts of Hell, and build the Six Paths of Reincarnation!"

"I have appointed Zou Yan, a member of the Yin-Yang School, as the 'Envoy of Reincarnation Calculation'. With his ability to understand the mysteries of heaven and deduce fate, he will calculate the patterns of the souls and spirits of all living beings in the heavens and myriad realms, and compile the 'Book of Life and Death'! Every birth will be recorded, and every death will be recorded!"

"Appoint Wei Liao as the 'Commander-in-Chief of the Underworld's Heavenly Army'. Select the most elite and loyal soldiers from among the Heavenly Armies to form the 'Ghost and God Army' to guard Fengdu, maintain the order of the cycle of reincarnation, and prevent the invasion of external evil!"

"Order the Great Siming to be the 'Soul Ferryman', commanding all shamans and alchemists in the world, and to establish 'City Gods' and 'Land Gods' in all the heavens and realms to escort the souls of the newly dead to Fengdu for judgment!"

Imperial decrees flowed out from the Xianyang Palace like flowing water, quickly spreading to every corner of the entire Qin Heavenly Court.

The entire huge imperial machine began to run frantically around a new, breathtakingly grand goal with unprecedented efficiency.

Manjushri Bodhisattva saw this scene and turned away without saying anything.

The heavens and the myriad worlds were completely boiling—

……

Time flies, and a full hundred years have passed since the conversation between Manjushri Bodhisattva and Ying Zheng.

At this moment, there was a chaotic void under the blue sky world.

There is no time or space here, only endless chaotic energy and turbulence.

Any matter that enters this place will be instantly torn into the most primitive particles.

The difficulty of creating a stable world here is no less than recreating a fairyland.

Bai Qi, the Great Qin's God of Death, was currently leading a million celestial soldiers, hovering on the edge of this chaos. He was clad in black armor, holding a long spear, his eyes as resolute as steel.

"Your Majesty has commanded the excavation of the Netherworld and the establishment of Fengdu! All troops, listen! Form the 'Prison Suppression Formation'!"

With his order, millions of heavenly soldiers attacked at the same time.

They did not brandish weapons, but instead each mobilized the magic power in their bodies and merged it into the huge black stone tablets in front of them.

These stone tablets are the "Prison-Suppressing Divine Tablets" that Ying Zheng made after suppressing the Nine Nether Demon Abyss. He used the demon bones of the demon lord Blood Prison Rāhu and mixed them with the hardest "Xiran" in the heavens and all worlds to refine them.

Each divine monument contains the terrifying power to suppress everything and stabilize space.

Millions of heavenly soldiers and millions of prison-suppressing divine tablets, under the command of Bai Qi, slowly sank into the chaos according to an extremely mysterious formation.

"town!"

Bai Qi roared and formed seals with his hands.

Millions of divine tablets simultaneously burst out with thousands of feet of black light. The lights intertwined to form a huge black light shield covering billions of miles, forcibly opening up a relatively stable area in the chaos!

"Alright! Keep going deeper! Using the divine monument as a foundation and our army's magic power as a guide, we will carve out space and stabilize the void!"
