Qin Xiao came to an open clearing and sat cross-legged.
"System, claim the rewards!"
He let out a heavy breath of stale air.
He had a faint premonition in his heart that the rewards this time would be far from simple!
[Ding!]
[Congratulations on killing the Son of Destiny, Xiao Xuance, and the Daughter of Destiny, Wang Xuerou!]
[Reward: One million tons of Sage Yuan's grain seeds!]
[Description: Children of another world, do not go hungry. Eat well.]
Boom!
Qin Xiao's scalp tingled, and his whole body trembled.
"One... one million tons of grain?"
Even his deeply composed mindset couldn't help but be severely shaken.
This single reward alone was enough to bring an era of prosperous peace to the Great Qin!
A million tons of grain!
It could feed the thirty million citizens of Great Qin for half a year!
If used for farming, from now on, everyone in Great Qin would have enough to eat!
Qin Xiao's heart surged with excitement, his eyes shining brightly.
"With grain, I no longer need to worry about the Great Zhou's blockade against Great Qin!"
The struggle for hegemony among great powers was not merely simple mutual slaughter.
It also involved economic wars, trade wars, and supply wars.
No matter how strong your nation's military was or how fearless your soldiers were of death, once the grain ran out, you could only wait to surrender.
Great Qin had never been particularly wealthy in terms of food, but now, with a million tons, they would skyrocket.
After a long while, Qin Xiao calmed his excited emotions and continued speaking.
"System, claim the next rewards."
[Ding!]
[Congratulations to the host for suppressing the internal rebellion of Great Qin and becoming a true emperor!]
[Reward: Xuanyuan Nine Dragons Divine Armor!]
[Reward: Cultivation base elevated to the Martial God Realm!]
[Reward: The Great Wall of the Qin Dynasty!]
[Reward: Destiny added to the body, the hearts of the people united! (When the nation falls into a desperate situation facing foreign invasion, the Great Wall's Watch will be triggered, soldiers will unite as one, and the common people will rise in resistance!)]
[Description: A message from a mysterious person: Oh, Great Qin from another world, please let Great Qin prosper forever in another world!]
Qin Xiao's spirit was jolted.
What in the world?
The Great Wall from China's history?
And a message from a mysterious person?
Why did this mysterious person sound so much like Ying Zheng?
"Rest assured, as long as I am here, Great Qin will exist forever!"
He didn't know if the mysterious person could hear him, but he still made a solemn promise.
Then, Qin Xiao's gaze fell on the first two rewards.
Xuanyuan Nine Dragons Divine Armor!
Qin Xiao willed it with his mind.
A dazzling golden light erupted all over his body, accompanied by the roar of dragons.
"Roar!"
The golden light faded, and a suit of golden battle armor appeared on his body, shimmering with golden light.
A true dragon coiled on the blood-red cape.
Mighty, domineering, and awe-inspiring.
Qin Xiao clenched his fists, feeling a terrifying power contained within his body.
Not only was this armor mighty and domineering, but it could actually amplify his strength in all aspects?
"Worthy of being a divine artifact!"
Qin Xiao sighed in admiration.
Immediately after, he cast his gaze on the final reward.
That was cultivation!
"Martial God!"
Qin Xiao's breathing couldn't help but quicken, a burning passion igniting in his eyes.
Just this single cultivation reward could save him an unknown amount of cultivation time.
Cultivation was inherently an act defying the heavens; every step was an obstacle, as difficult as ascending to the sky.
However, this reward directly allowed him to soar to the heavens, breaking through to the Martial God Realm!
From now on, Qin Xiao could roam the world unhindered, unmatched by anyone!
"System, claim the cultivation for me!"
Qin Xiao could not wait.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations to the host for elevating your cultivation to the Martial God Realm!]
Golden light blazed brilliantly from Qin Xiao's body, like a God of War, looking down upon the world!
He could feel the power contained within his body, capable of overturning seas and rivers!
"Roar!"
A golden divine dragon emerged from his cape, dancing and roaring around him.
Qin Xiao stood up, his black hair flying, his imposing aura like the midday sun.
He punched forward.
The wind from the fist howled, and the air itself let out sonic booms.
The river waters in front of him churned up monstrous waves, directly parting the river and stopping its flow; the entire river was severed by this single punch!
It took a long time before the river waters began to flow again.
Qin Xiao retracted his fist, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
"I finally have the combat strength to rival the world!"
He laughed, his chest filled with boundless heroism.
At this moment, he felt that the vast world was his to soar through!
Qin Xiao restrained his aura.
Looking at the system rewards again, the joy in his eyes grew even richer.
National power, grain, the Great Wall...
"I will definitely make Great Qin prosper for all eternity!"
Qin Xiao gazed far to the south, as if seeing through thousands of mountains and tens of thousands of miles, beholding the Great Zhou Empire that was at the height of its power.
"Empress, bring it on. I want to see what methods you have!"
Qin Xiao turned around, high-spirited and vigorous, and returned to the military camp.
...
As the news of the Great Qin army completely annihilating the Great Zhou army spread, the world was shaken!
The various nations that had been glaring like tigers eyeing their prey were so shocked they could not speak!
What was the situation?
The Great Zhou's 200,000-strong army was wiped out?
Annihilated so effortlessly?
Those restless small nations, seeing Great Qin so powerful, all put away their greedy ambitions and cautiously wagged their tails to beg for mercy from Great Qin.
One by one, they began to offer tribute to Great Qin, begging for its protection.
As for those powerful nations, they all looked at Qin Xiao in a new light.
They had considered that Great Zhou might lose.
After all, it was still achievable for Great Qin to mobilize the entire nation's strength to fight against Great Zhou's 200,000-strong army.
But the news brought back by the secret spies...
The Northern Liang army had not moved.
The Border Pass army had not moved.
Qin Xiao alone went to the border, suppressed the traitor Xiao Xuance, and wiped out the Great Zhou's 200,000-strong army!
The main point was not that Qin Xiao killed them.
It was that Qin Xiao went to the border entirely alone, without bringing a single soldier!
Just what kind of terrifying boldness was this!
They felt as if they were witnessing the steady rise of a generation's supreme overlord!
The Seven Nations were:
Wu Zhou, Great Qing, Yan State, Qi State, Qin State, Great Yuan, and Great Jin.
These seven nations each made their own moves.
But most were just watching the show.
Wanting to see Wu Zhou and Great Qin fight to the death.
After all, with one less powerful nation, they would be able to carve out an extra piece of territory.
Although Qin Xiao had won a brief victory this time, and won beyond their expectations.
They did not believe that Great Qin had the strength to contend with Wu Zhou.
...
Meanwhile.
Great Zhou.
Golden Luan Throne Hall.
"Long live our Emperor, long live, long long live!"
All the civil and military officials knelt and bowed in salute.
The Wu Zhou Empress, dressed in a golden phoenix robe, sat upon the dragon throne. Her face was cold and clear, but a faint flame of anger flickered in the depths of her eyes.
"Qin Xiao, you dare to bully my Great Zhou!"
Her slender, jade-like hand slammed against the armrest.
It let out a muffled sound.
The officials below kept quiet out of fear, like cicadas in winter.
The Empress was more furious than anyone else. After all, the complete annihilation of a 200,000-strong army was a massive blow to the nation.
But a great nation could bear this loss.
However, their face and prestige were utterly lost!
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
