The aura emanating from his body entered the Source Pagoda, and a sky-piercing collision occurred between the two. Sparks flew, and myriad lights streamed and splashed. The body of the Desolate Source Ancestor cracked, and the Source Pagoda also surged. This was akin to a deep fusion, reshaping the Desolate Source Ancestor's physical body according to the foundation of the Source Pagoda.
Not long after, the layers of blood-red light surrounding his body contracted inwards, gradually forming scabs.
*Hummm~*
The eyes of the Desolate Source Ancestor trembled again. The Source Pagoda within his pupils directly shattered, replaced by an expression filled with emotion.
He extended his scab-covered palm, flicked it outwards, and eleven streams of light shot out, penetrating the figures of the eleven Creation Giants before the Source Stele. At this moment, they simultaneously opened their eyes, gaining consciousness.
*Boom!*
With another wave of his hand, the Desolate Source Ancestor, along with the entire Emperor Ruins and the Source Pagoda before him, vanished into the depths of the Ancient Star Road.
Huo Qubing watched everything disappear before his eyes, but suddenly the world changed. A wisp of energy began to fill the Ancient Star Road, infusing the spatial gaps and the Immortal Domain!
"An aura of transcendence!"
Han Xin extended his hand, grasping that wisp of energy, and said softly.
"Transcendence!"
Sun Wu looked around, unaware of the truth.
"Transcendence?"
In Chang'an City, Yang Hao held the wisp of energy that had appeared in the void. He knew that the realm of transcendence had been confirmed. It must be the aura released from within the Source Pagoda. Could it be that the three elders of the Emperor Ruins had stepped into transcendence, controlling the Source Pagoda!
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
At this moment, the heroes who had emerged became half-step transcendent!
Han Xin! Jiang Ziya! Huo Qubing! Sun Wu! Ran Min! Wu Qi! Zhang Liang! Li Jing! Yue Fei! Luo Shixin!
They were all enveloped by that wisp of transcendent energy and instantly gained enlightenment. Like a long-suppressed spring, they erupted with a torrent of energy, propelling them step by step towards the realm of transcendence!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the emerged heroes, Han Xin, Jiang Ziya, Huo Qubing, Sun Wu, Ran Min, Wu Qi, Zhang Liang, Li Jing, Yue Fei, Luo Shixin! Have entered the realm of transcendence!"
"How is it?"
Dozens of breaths later, Han Xin and the others appeared before Huo Qubing. They looked at the boundless plain before them. The Emperor Ruins had completely vanished.
"Investigate!"
"Even if you have to dig three feet into the entire Ancient Star Road, you must find the Emperor Ruins!" Sun Wu said, looking at the empty expanse before him.
Chang'an City.
"System, continue summoning!"
"Ding! Commencing summoning of ancient heroes!"
At this moment, one of the statues vibrated, drawing myriad golden lights from the boundless galaxy!
Beneath that golden light, a hero, with a slightly pointed head but a shrewd appearance, his dark eyes bright and full of spirit, clad in armor, and wielding a seventy-centimeter long sword. Soudan Novel Network.
At this time, on the fourth level of the Samsara Xuanhuang Pagoda, a river of history roared open. The golden statue of the hero revealed a figure, which flashed and then rushed into the fourth level of the Samsara Xuanhuang Pagoda.

In the twelfth year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Qin formulated a strategy to attack the three Jin states and conquer the world. Great generals became the most urgent talent needed by Qin. Under this historical background, Bai Qi was renowned for his "skill in warfare" and was recommended by the new Qin Chancellor Wei Ran, gradually gaining the trust of King Zhaoxiang.
A year later, King Zhaoxiang of Qin launched an offensive against Han. The Left Grand Tutor Bai Qi attacked Han's Xincheng and, within a year, led his army to first defeat the Eastern Zhou army, and then fought a decisive battle with the allied forces of Han and Wei at Yique. He adopted a strategy of avoiding the strong and attacking the weak, first attacking the weaker and then the stronger. He completely annihilated the 240,000 allied forces of Han and Wei, captured Yique, and conquered five cities. Subsequently, Bai Qi crossed the Yellow River and captured the lands of Han from Anyi eastward to Qianhe, thus achieving his first major victory.

In the eighteenth year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Wei Ran and Bai Qi led their army to capture sixty-one cities in Wei's Henei. In the twenty-first year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Bai Qi attacked Zhao, beheading thirty thousand soldiers and capturing the city of Guanglang in Daidi. In the twenty-eighth year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Qin attacked Chu again. Bai Qi's army quickly advanced into Chu's heartland, flooding the city from the west to the east. Hundreds of thousands of Chu soldiers and civilians drowned. The main Chu army suffered heavy losses, and Yancheng fell. Afterward, Bai Qi led his army southwest and captured Xiling, located upstream from Yingdu.
In the twenty-ninth year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Bai Qi was enfeoffed as Lord Wu'an. Bai Qi's name became renowned throughout the land. A year later, he commanded the army to capture Wu Commandery and the Jiangnan region, establishing Qianzhong Commandery there.
In the thirty-first year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Bai Qi attacked Wei, capturing two cities. In the thirty-fourth year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, the king dispatched Bai Qi, Wei Ran, and the guest minister Hu Yang to aid Han. They severely defeated the allied forces of Zhao and Wei, capturing generals from Zhao, Wei, and other states, and beheading thirteen thousand soldiers. They then fought against the Zhao general Jia Yan, who came to reinforce them, drowning twenty thousand Zhao soldiers.
In the forty-third year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Bai Qi attacked Xingcheng by the Fen River in Han, conquering five cities and beheading fifty thousand soldiers.
In the forty-seventh year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, the Battle of Changping broke out. The war lasted for three years. Zhao, holding onto a glimmer of hope, replaced Lian Po with Zhao Kuo. King Zhaoxiang of Qin secretly dispatched Bai Qi as the Grand General to the front lines to lead the army. The Zhao army was utterly defeated, and all 400,000 captured Zhao soldiers were buried alive. Only 240 young soldiers were spared to report back to Zhao.
