Chapter 191: The Decisive Battle Might Be Advanced

was completely panicked.>He didn't expect the other party to resort to violence without any room for negotiation.As Shen Changqing said, he left behind his soul and body because he didn't want to die...In the Demon Suppression Division, Dongfang Zhao stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky, his face a mixture of complex emotions.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Nearly twenty years have passed.

Time has left few traces on him.

>

Just like that.

Time has not passed nearly twenty years, but only twenty days.

Beside him, it was Zhou Yuan himself.

“Is Dongfang Zhenshou thinking about Shen Zhenshou again”

This is not his first time seeing this.

Upon hearing this.

Dongfang Zhao retracted his gaze and shook his head slightly: "Shen Zhen, who left this world alone to venture into the outside world, has been gone for quite some time now. Yet, there hasn't been any news from him. I can't say I'm not worried."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Fortunately, though there was no news from Shen Zhen Shou, there was also no bad news. He's still a glimmer of hope!

Although Shen Changqing has left...

But the other party left Tian Kui behind.

No matter what Tian Kui says, it was once a ferocious beast that recognized its master. Even though the two are now far apart and it's difficult to have any connection.

Even though it may seem subtle, that feeling in the depths of one's being still exists.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

If Shen Changqing falls.

This sense of connection will shatter in an instant.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

If the other party has not fallen, then the resonance will always exist.

But this.

Also, it is the Eastern Emperor's decree that Shen Changqing being alive was judged by this standard.

According to what Lord Taishan said, the power of our human race’s Heavenly and Earthly seals will completely dissipate in a few years. If the seals dissipate, our human race will have to face the full force of the demonic army.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

By that time, corpses would be strewn everywhere. One careless mistake and the entire clan would face annihilation!

His face was extremely grave.

This is a placeholder for text content.

The matter of Taishan Fu Jun is no longer a secret.

As early as ten years ago.

Qin had already gone to the Heavenly and Earthy Cyclone Layer and met Lord Mount Tai.

All known and unknown news, the Qin Dynasty also learned from Tai Shan Fu Jun.

Upon hearing this.

Zhou Yuan said seriously, "You don't need to worry too much about guarding the East. Our human race is already very different from what it used to be. Not to mention the martial world, just within my Demon Suppression Division, there are already dozens of Saint-Rank guards."

>

Though those above the Sacred Rank are not numerous, with you entering the Divine Rank first, there will certainly be more Divine Rank Guardians born later.

As for the demon clan, although they pose a significant threat, their losses were devastating in the war ten thousand years ago. Whether they have fully recovered remains to be seen.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

If we were truly to go to war, our human race wouldn't be without a chance of victory.

Since the Qin Dynasty began to build up its military power and established the Wuyuan academy.

Masters of the martial arts world emerge like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

Excluding other powerful forces, the Demon Suppression Division alone is ten times stronger than it was before the reign of martial prowess.

Such a metamorphosis.

That is very frightening.

So.

As for the war against the demon clan, Zhou Yuan wasn't too worried.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

In fact.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

There's no need to worry about that.

In his view, either live or die.

The human race is now with no way out. Instead of thinking so much, it's better to stockpile strength and wait for that day to come.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

But this was just Zhou Yuan's idea. As the head of the Demon Suppression Division, Dongfang Zhao had his own concerns.

Although he was quite confident in the current strength of humankind.

>

It's better to be safe than sorry.

After all, the demon clan's foundation is deep, while the human race had its martial arts tradition broken for generations. It was only in the past decade or two that a complete martial arts lineage reappeared.

Even within such a short period of time, no matter how the human race develops, the power they can master is limited.

Therefore.

>

The Eastern Emperor needs to consider, if the human race is defeated, how can they preserve their lineage and avoid the extinction of the human race

“How is the investigation into the Heavenly Realm going”

He tilted his head to look at the other person.

When Zhou Yuan heard this, he couldn't help shaking his head: "I have already sent many people into the Heavenly Realm, but none of them have found anything useful. Every time the Heavenly Realm ends, all those who enter it will be involuntarily ejected."

No matter how hard we tried, none of us were able to stay there.

"Continue exploring, be sure to find out the problems of the Heavenly Realm."

The Eastern Emperor’s face was grave.

Right now, the demon clan is besieging outside of heaven and earth. The only way out he can think of is the Heavenly Realm that exists within heaven and earth.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The whereabouts of the Heavenly Realm are unknown.

>

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

Even as a Divine Rank Guardian after his promotion, he couldn't detect any clues about it while in the Heavenly Realm.

Therefore, it can be seen.

In terms of concealment, the Heavenly Realm is absolutely the most powerful.

>

>Besides.

The Heavenly Realm is rich in spiritual energy, and ferocious beasts that have lived for countless years still haven't gone extinct.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

From here, it can be seen that the Heavenly Realm is suitable for living beings to survive.

That is precisely why.

Only because the Eastern Emperor places such high value on the Heavenly Realm would he act in this way.

Even the ancient ruins left behind by powerful figures of the ancient tribes, after discarding any possible inheritance they might contain, cannot compare to the Heavenly Realm.

It's just——

The Heavenly Realm also has a big problem.

That is, once someone enters the Heavenly Realm, after a specific period of time, they will be forced to leave. No matter what, there's no way to stay there permanently.

>

If this problem cannot be solved, wanting to use the Heavenly Realm as a fallback option is impossible.

Therefore.

He constantly sent people into the Heavenly Realm, trying to unravel its mysteries. However, after all these years, he has yet to succeed.

Suddenly.

As if sensing something, Dongfang Zhao tilted his head and looked outside the Demon Suppression Division.

"A friend has come."

That's all I have to say.

He withdrew his gaze and looked back at the person beside him.

>

"About the Heavenly Realm, you need to hurry and handle it. The rest, leave it to me!"

>

As soon as the words were spoken.

The figure of Dongfang Zhao vanished directly from where he stood.

From beginning to end.

Zhou Yuan only felt a slight spatial fluctuation. Apart from that, he had no other perceptions.

To this, he couldn't help but sigh.

"The Guardian of the Divine Rank is indeed beyond comparison to the Saint Rank. I wonder how many years it will take before I can enter the Divine Rank!"

Divine rank!

In the past Demon Suppression Division, there was never such a realm. Even in speculation, there had never been such a thought.

Only after the Eastern Proclamation breaks through to the Saint rank will the other party believe that there is a Divine rank above the Saint rank.

Now.

He's made it to the divine realm.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

But the difficulty of ascending to the divine realm is countless times greater than ascending to the saint realm.

The Qin Dynasty of today is no longer the same as it once was. After annexing Daliang and Dàyuè, not only did the territory of the Qin expand, but the original Qin Demon Suppression Division also absorbed the Demon Suppression Divisions of two other countries. As a result, the number of Exorcists and Garrison Commanders greatly increased.

Even so, the God Rank Guardian was only granted one Eastern Decree.

This clearly shows just how difficult it is to truly ascend to the divine realm.

Outside the capital city.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The eastern imperial decree arrived silently.

The Wild God, who was no longer clad in the furs of yore, but instead wore a blue warrior's garb like that of a Qin man, stood with his hands behind his back, feeling the dense power of thunder before him.

Under the coverage of thunderous power, some sat cross-legged on the periphery, while others ventured deep within it.

And at the very center of the thunderous power, a massive crater could be seen.

"Shen Zhenzhun is truly worthy of being the most powerful being in human history. The residual power here, even after all these years, is still astonishing!"

His face was full of emotion.

In his view.

If Shen Changqing were placed in ancient times, he might very well become a powerful figure comparable to the legendary emperors.

But the other party's choice to leave the heavens and go to the outside world undoubtedly increased many risks.

The Eastern Decree arrived beside the Barbarian God, his gaze fixed on the lightning pit: “If not for Shen's steadfast defense, perhaps our human race would have been wiped out by the demon clan over a decade ago.”

"This place was where Shen Zhenzhun once crossed the tribulation. If someone could comprehend even a fraction of its essence, our human race would surely produce a top-tier expert in the future."

One can be promoted to the position of divine general.

A large part of the reason is that he realized this path through the martial arts inheritance left behind by Shen Changqing.

That's exactly why.

Eastern Command understood very well how important the legacy left behind by the other party truly was.

Today, the Wugong Pavilion still preserves a complete transmission of the Cave Heaven Realm.

He had a premonition.

If a genius were to inherit the legacy left by the other party and truly cultivate it to the point of reaching the heavens and creating an ultimate realm, the threat posed by the demon clan would no longer be a threat.

But unfortunately.

Don't even talk about the Heaven-Earth Realm.

Even if one could enter the realm of the Immortal Golden Body, there would only be one Heavenly Sovereign.

There's no way.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The practice methods of martial arts are too difficult.

Although the Qin Dynasty has produced many talented individuals and powerful figures, it takes decades for someone to reach the Heavenly Human realm. To ascend to the Immortal Golden Body realm is simply not something that can be achieved in a short period of time.

Apart from the difficulty of martial arts, there is another most serious problem.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

That is the celestial and earthly Qi, rapidly depleting.

A martial artist cultivates.

The most important thing is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Today, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is severely depleted. It has undoubtedly increased the difficulty for martial artists to ascend.

Whether it's due to a cohort of powerful individuals emerging or the well-preserved transmission of knowledge.

Otherwise.

The Eastern Court was suspicious. It couldn't believe that such a vast Qin Empire could not produce even one celestial being.

Then, he turned his gaze to the Barbarian God.

"Man Shen is not staying in Man Huang, what brings him to my Great Qin today"

The Qin Dynasty has already entered a full ceasefire with all the barbarians.

In the face of the demonic clan, past grievances have been put aside for now.

But in the past, the Qin Empire and the barbarian tribes lived separately, never interfering with each other. Barbarian gods rarely left the desolate lands and entered the territory of the Qin Empire.

Now the other party has arrived quietly.

>

It's not believable that Dongfang Zhao has no purpose.

Let me know if you have other text to translate!

Yesterday, my heart was uneasy. I went to the Heavenly Passage and spoke with Lord Tai Shan. He said that external demons might make some big moves, and I suspect the decisive battle might be brought forward!

Mǎnshén glanced at him, his voice heavier than ever before.

The decisive battle is coming early!

The Eastern Emperor's expression shifted slightly.

He thought the decisive battle would take a few more years to truly come.

But regarding Man Shen's words, Dongfang Zhao did not harbor any doubts.

We're all in this together, like ants tied to a rope. If the human race falls, the barbarians will suffer too.

"Is this really confirmed"

I can't be certain, but now that Lord of Mount Tai serves as the spirit guardian of the passage, he has some awareness of the outside world. Since he said this, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Furthermore, my recent state of mind has been uneasy. I have a feeling that something must be happening behind the scenes.

The mighty god spoke in a low voice.

He was the chieftain of a barbarian tribe, wielding the Qi of his people.

If there were a crisis that threatened the extermination of our clan, we would sense something beforehand.

This kind of perception.

> The sixth sense that comes with its own divine realm is much stronger than this.

Speaking of which.

Man Shen added, "The Eastern Warden could easily ask Emperor Qin. He is the current Human Emperor. If the human race were facing a crisis of extinction, he would also sense it."

But if it is truly the demon clan that is making a move, the decisive battle could be brought forward.

“Both our clans must make preparations beforehand!”

Let's fight together.

It was bound to be a scene of carnage.

Tens of thousands of years ago, during the Great War, most of the powerful humans perished, and the population dwindled by half, nearly facing extinction.

Now, witnessing a scene reminiscent of ten thousand years ago, the solemnity in Man Shen's heart is palpable.

If he could recover the strength of his prime from ten thousand years ago, he wouldn't be afraid in his heart.

However.

Since recovering, I have made some progress, but I am still far from my peak.

As for strength, I'm only at the seventh level of the Divine Realm. It’s just barely considered entering the later stages of the Divine Realm, but that's as far as I've gotten.

The Eastern Emperor understood the gravity of the situation, so he nodded. "I will report this to His Majesty. Are the barbarians prepared on their end"

Our clan is always ready for battle.

The valiant god smiled with confidence.

Now the barbarians are no longer the barbarians they once were. After he took control of the barbarians, the barbarians truly achieved a state where everyone was a soldier.

If there is no war, then so be it.

Once war begins.

The vast barbarian tribes can always go all out in battle.

>

After finishing his words, Man Shen's figure dissipated like smoke.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

When the Eastern Emperor saw this, he did not find anything strange.

The other party's true form is still within the wilderness. What has truly come is only a physical embodiment condensed from power.

Stay put for a moment.

He also left quietly.

From beginning to end.

Here is the translation of your provided text:

Everyone around them had failed to notice their arrival or departure.

It was as if the two of them, although standing there, were in completely different dimensional spaces. They seemed to be on the same level, but they were untouchable.

The capital city, inside the imperial palace.

"The Eastern Commander has arrived."

In the rear garden, Gu Xing shifted his gaze from the pond to the person before him.

Compared to ten or twenty years ago, he is much more stable now.

Unlike the Eastern Edict.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Time has left its mark on him.

Looking at the person in front of him, Dongfang Zhao seemed to see the ancient Xuanji of that year. In terms of bearing, the two were already quite similar.

After a long while.

He came to his senses and bowed, saying, "Just a moment ago, the barbarian god's avatar met me outside the capital city. From him, I received some very important information."

"Amazing!"

Here's the translation without HTML tags:> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Gu Xing's expression moved.

He wasn't Dongfang Zhao, despite being the Qin Emperor. However, his talent was merely average. Even with resources from the imperial palace over the years, he had only managed to reach the Grandmaster realm with great difficulty.

This grandmaster.

>

It's not a Grandmaster from the past era of humanity, but a Grandmaster after Shen Changqing delineated the new realm.

Get fit!

This is a simple translation task. Could you please provide me with the text you'd like to translate within the > tags I'm ready to help!

On point!

Innate!

Master!

Grandmaster!

Extreme!

Heaven and man!

Within a series of realms, such as the aforementioned... Ancient Xing had only barely reached the fifth realm. Before the martial arts reform, this was equivalent to the peak of a Grandmaster.

At that time, those who had reached this level of strength were almost at the pinnacle.

But.

Times have changed.

Nowadays, martial arts are thriving and prosperous. Although there aren't many powerful masters at the level of Heaven-Human Realm yet, even just mentioning Grand Masters is commonplace.

He was completely unaware of the arrival of the demon god.

"Mighty God, why have you come"

He said that the demon clan's attack might be coming sooner than expected.

"Get ready!"

Gu Xing's face changed slightly, but he wasn't as shocked as expected.

When Dongfang Zhao had finished speaking, he calmly said: “Actually, I have been somewhat restless lately, as if something is about to happen. I wanted to summon you to discuss it, but I thought it was just a delusion.”

Looking back now, what the Barbarian God said wasn't wrong. The actions of the demonic tribe very likely happened sooner than expected.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have such feelings.

As the Human Emperor.

When a crisis truly comes to the human race, they will instinctively feel it.

In fact.

Even if the Eastern Imperial Decree doesn't arrive, Gu Xing is still prepared to summon the other party.

This time, what the other party said here just confirmed his guess.

If the demon clan were truly to launch a large-scale attack, Your Majesty, do you have a plan to counter it

The emperor inquired from the East.

Gu Xing said, “When soldiers come, we meet them; when water comes, we dam it. My fellow humans have long since had no way to retreat. Over a decade ago, Shen Zhen went to the outside world to look for opportunities, but there has been no news from him since.”

Though it did not fall, it is probably trapped somewhere.

Fortunately, in recent years, with the generous supply of resources from the imperial court, many powerful individuals have emerged from various martial arts academies.

Compared to when the Qin Dynasty first unified, its national strength today is more than ten times stronger.

That's it.

This is a

tag.

He rose to his feet and walked to one side of the pavilion, hands behind his back, gazing at the fish swimming in the pond before him. An air of barely perceptible authority emanated from him.

At that moment.

The vast emptiness seemed to be under immense pressure.

In Dongfang Zhao's eyes, the other party's body suddenly grew imposing. Even though he was the only Divine Rank Garrison Commander in the world today, he now felt a strong threat.

This feeling gave him a start.

“Dongfang Zhen Shou thought, now that I compare myself to you, the gap is immense.”

Gu Xing turned around, his expression calm and composed.

Dongfang Zhao calmly said, “With Your Majesty's current power on display, this minister has no great confidence in victory.”

This sentence.

He wasn't just flattering, but speaking truthfully.

“Over the years, the Qin Dynasty has grown significantly, causing a notable rise in the human race's fortune. Back then, if our Qin Dynasty possessed such formidable fortune, demonic creatures within heaven and earth would have already been eradicated.”

"Though I have only reached the Grandmaster realm now, with the aid of Qin's national fortune, contending against those rumored to be in the Divine Realm shouldn't be a problem."

Gu Xing shook his head slightly.

"At the same time, if I were to take one or two more steps forward, although I wouldn't be an emperor from ancient times, I believe I would be very close."

"But that way, Your Majesty would probably have to pay a heavy price!"

The Eastern Emperor's face hardened.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Qiyun is a double-edged sword. The more you use it, the greater the price you have to pay.

When the First Emperor of Qin ascended to the throne, he died. Although his lifespan was nearing its end, the true cause of his death was due to the depletion of the Qi of the Qin Dynasty.

However.

>

Back then, Gu Xuangji was only fighting against the demon saints.

If you're facing a demon god, or even something more powerful, the price you pay will be even heavier.

Gu Xing smiled faintly, his expression calm and composed: “An emperor cannot live forever. Even if I keep clinging to life, I would only have a few decades at most. If I can fight for the human race with all my might, it is my destined fate.”

"Dongfang Zhen Shou believed, 'Is someone who does not fight for the human race worthy of being called Emperor'"

A ruler who does not fight for humankind, is he still considered a Human Emperor

When the East heard this, he fell silent immediately.

Gu Xing said: "Although the human race is weak, they never fear death. All tens of millions of people within the Qin territory can fight."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

But—

"If truly, things are beyond our reach, then we must leave behind a single drop of blood for the human race to carry on, patiently awaiting the day when we rise again."

This is the translation:

At this point, Gu Xing suddenly changed the subject.

Over the years, the Demon Suppression Division has been researching the Celestial Realm. Are there any major breakthroughs now

"Temporarily unavailable."

Oriental shook his head, knowing exactly what the other party meant by that question.

The Demon Suppression Division's attempts to unravel the secrets of the Heavenly Realm, all in an effort to secure a future for the human race, were not hidden from the watchful eyes of the imperial court.

Even when dispatching people to the Heavenly Realm, there were officials from the Imperial Court who followed them inside.

The purpose is also very simple.

Just like the Demon Suppression Division, they are seeking out the secrets of the Heavenly Realm.

Gu Xing said, “According to what I have learned from the Qin Dynasty's records and from the news given by Lord Tai Shan, the existence of the Heavenly Realm has been longer than ancient times.”

>

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

If the secrets of the Heavenly Realm could be discovered, I would allow a select few to enter and ensure the continuation of our bloodline.

“This matter, I will do my best, but cannot guarantee that it can be 100% certain to research the secrets of the Heavenly Realm.”

>

The Eastern Emperor cupped his hands in greeting.

He didn't say too much.

After all, the Heavenly Realm has existed for countless years, and how many secrets it contains is unknown.

With the current capabilities of the Demonic Suppression Division, the possibility of researching the secrets of the Heavenly Realm is extremely slim.

But.

Even if there's just a one percent chance, Dongfang Zhao wouldn't give up.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“I hope we have enough time, otherwise the human race will be left with no choice but to fight a desperate battle!”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Gu Xing sighed.

He was not afraid of death, but he feared the demise of Qin.

Today, with the whole world united under Qin's rule, the Qin state has become a complete representation of humanity.

The Qin Dynasty was overthrown.

The human race will perish.

Gu Xing did not want the Qin Dynasty to perish on his watch.

"What's the situation in Dazhou and Moceng now"

He continued.

The Great Zhou refers to the former territory of the Great Zhou. Now, it has been reborn as the domain of Heaven Calamity's Zhou Emperor, the divine shepherd Mu Shen Tong, who resides there.

As for Mo Cheng...

Then it was the original small hill.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Now, Xiaqiu Mountain has long since disappeared, and the disaster-stricken area there is no longer comparable to what it once was.

Mo City!

That is just the natural disaster's name for its own domain.

The Eastern Mandate said: "Shen Zhen, the city guard commander, has had dealings with the Lord of Mo City. Over these years, Mo City has indeed not attacked the human race. Although that one has become a natural disaster, it still stands on our human side."

As for what the Great Zhou would do, it's a bit hard to predict.

However, if a real war were to break out, even the God of Shepherds would be unable to remain uninvolved.

When it came to the Divine Shepherd, his words were laced with coldness.

>

For the Zhou Emperor who sacrificed his entire Zhou Dynasty, Dongfang Zhao harbored no affection whatsoever.hey are suddenly acting like this, there must be a reason... " In an instant 。Chen Changqing immediately thought of the Ninth Rank Holy Body Scripture. 。His own foot just passed on the Nine Profound...
