Deep beneath the seabed, not far from the newly formed Tiān Yuè.
"Rumble! Rumble!"
"Rumble! Rumble!"
"Bang!"
A middle-aged man, with two dragon horns on his forehead and clad in a green robe, was furious. He smashed a dragon pearl in his hand.
The Heavenly Azure Azure Serpent Dragon clan, originally from the eastern seas of the Eastern Desolation Continent and once a dominant force, had gradually declined. In this generation, with only three Tong Ling powerhouses, they chose a deep-sea location in the southwest of the Eastern Desolation.
For ten thousand years, they had lived in peace. Today, Ao Qing, the patriarch of the Heavenly Azure Azure Serpent Dragon clan, was celebrating his fifteen-thousandth birthday. The joyous occasion was suddenly disrupted by earth-shattering tremors and collapsing palaces, turning the grand banquet into chaos.
"What's happening outside!"
Ao Qing roared angrily towards the hall, looking at the precious spiritual materials on the table, now in disarray.
"Thump~~"
"Thump~~"
"Thump~~"
"Dragon King, the nearest small island to us, for some unknown reason, the land area has suddenly expanded, more than ten times its original size!"
A shrimp soldier ran in, speaking in terror. What a disaster this was. Today was his duty day, and it was also the Dragon King's birthday. Suddenly, the deep sea began to shake.
"Oh!"
"Is it Tiān Yuè?"
Ao Qing looked up at the shrimp soldier. Tiān Yuè had been formidable ten thousand years ago. When he led his clan to this place, he had once gazed from afar at the Human King Mang in the deep sea, and that single glance had terrified Ao Qing to the point of losing his soul.
He hadn't expected such a powerful spiritual sea expert to be in the barren southwestern sea region, far from the mainland. He immediately submerged himself, ignoring the matters of the surface.
However, he later heard that Human King Mang had died. He then came to Tiān Yuè, intending to claim the territory as his own. But the spiritual energy was depleted, and the spiritual power was thin. Having seen the world, he naturally disdained it, cast a glance, and sank back into the depths.
Ten thousand years passed in the blink of an eye. Today was his birthday, a day that should have been joyous, but it was ruined by the commotion from Tiān Yuè. He was extremely enraged. He had to make his weak neighbors understand who was the ruler of this sea.
"You two, follow me!"
Ao Hai and Ao Bing glanced at their patriarch, Ao Qing, and followed him towards Tiān Yuè. These two were the other two Tong Ling powerhouses.
...
In the void not far from Tiān Yuè, a gray figure was traversing through the void, his aura extremely unstable. This was a Ling Zun powerhouse from the Sacred Yuan Dynasty—Xie Feng. He had a life-and-death friendship with the Ling Zun powerhouses of the Zhang family. Before the Zhang family's incident, he was visiting a sect when, suddenly, Human King Mang annihilated the Zhang family with lightning speed and vanished without a trace.
Upon learning this, he traveled through the void without stopping. It took him two months to barely reach the sea area near Tiān Yuè. For a Ling Zun powerhouse to take two months just to arrive, it was evident that before Tiān Yuè expanded, it was even farther.
"Swish!!" Su Dan Novel Network
Xie Feng rapidly flashed across the sky, his Ling Zun cultivation completely unconcealed, startling Ao Qing beneath the sea. "What's going on? What happened in Tiān Yuè to attract a Ling Zun powerhouse?"
"Big brother, are we still going?"
Ao Bing asked softly, "Big brother, look, Tiān Yuè has already attracted a Ling Zun. We shouldn't..."
"Scram! Am I supposed to take this insult for nothing? We'll watch from the side first. After this Ling Zun powerhouse leaves, we'll deal with Tiān Yuè!"
"Let's go!"
...
In the royal palace of the Great Han's Chang'an City.
Yang Hao stood on the sacrificial platform, constantly checking the condition of the newly formed land in his mind. "System, begin the summoning!"
Having annihilated the allied forces of the three dynasties previously, his kill count reached nine hundred thousand. With the main quest completed, he received three rewards for summoning ancient heroes.
"Ding! Successfully deducted three ancient hero summoning opportunities!"
"Ding! System commencing summoning!"
The Samsara Profound Yellow Tower emitted Dao sounds, majestic and magnificent. The heavenly sounds were mysterious and ancient. The entire tower still radiated golden light, with strands of Dao sounds tightly circling around it. As the golden light dispersed, the entire tower body was densely inscribed with countless vivid figures!
The first level of the Samsara Profound Yellow Tower was bathed in golden light, and Dao sounds reverberated in all directions. A galaxy unfurled, and starlight flowed, slowly moving from the Spring and Autumn period to the unified Qin Dynasty!
For a time, Dao sounds filled the air, resounding like the roars of gods. A figure gradually appeared on the tower body of the Samsara Profound Yellow Tower, emitting faint golden light.
Whoosh!
Splash!
A five-colored starry river flashed, stars shifted and rotated, twinkling brilliantly!
Buzz~~
As time flowed, stars were densely packed, banners unfurled and rolled up. On the first level of the tower, a carved human figure suddenly erupted with golden light!
A figure stepped out from the long river of history!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully summoning Li Si, the great master of Mohist thought, from the long river of history!"
"Check Li Si's data!"
The moment Li Si's name appeared, Yang Hao had already decided on his role. The departments of the Great Han were all in place. Currently, the six ministries were still short of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Justice.
The position of Prime Minister of the Great Han had been vacant since the founding of the dynasty. The administration of the Great Han had always been maintained by the six ministries.
The Ministry of Justice had always been temporarily held by Chen Gong. Now that Li Si had appeared, the position of Minister of Justice naturally fell to him.
Guan Zhong and Xiao He, two ancient heroes, were the best candidates for the position of Prime Minister of the Great Han.
"Name: Li Si"
"Courtesy name: Jingde"
"Dynasty: Qin Dynasty"
"Cultivation: Tong Ling Level Two"
"Cultivation technique: Que Lei Fa Jin Wu Jue"
"Attached troop: Six hundred disciples of the Mohist school!"
Experience: A famous statesman, writer, and calligrapher of the Qin Dynasty from Shangcai, Chu, during the late Warring States period.
He was a minor county official in his youth and studied under Xun Qing. He entered Qin during the late Warring States period, initially as a retainer for Qin Chancellor Lü Buwei, and was appointed as a Lang. He was soon promoted to Chief Clerk and then appointed as a Ke Qing.
In the tenth year of Qin Shi Huang's reign, when the expulsion order was issued, he submitted a memorial vehemently opposing the expulsion of Ke Qing, which was adopted by the King of Qin. He also devised plans for Qin to conquer the six states, suggesting that they first attack Han and then conquer the other feudal states one by one to complete the great cause of unification.
After the unification of China in the twenty-sixth year of Qin Shi Huang's reign, as Tingwei, he was ordered to deliberate with Chancellor Wang Wan and Censorate Grandee Feng Jie on the imperial title of "Emperor."
Later, he served as Chancellor and accompanied the First Emperor on numerous tours. He opposed Chunyu Yue's proposal to enfeoff his sons and advocated for the prohibition of private schools and the destruction of the "Book of Songs," "Book of Documents," the histories of the six states, and the "Hundred Schools of Thought."
He also standardized the script into Small Seal script and compiled "Cang Jie Pian" as a model text.
After the death of the First Emperor, he conspired with Zhao Gao to forge an edict, forcing Fusu to commit suicide and enthroning Hu Hai.
After the outbreak of the peasant uprisings at the end of the Qin Dynasty, he advised the Second Emperor to revise the laws and implement the "Duxue" (strict punishment) technique to strengthen imperial power. Later, he was falsely accused of rebellion by Zhao Gao, subjected to the Five Punishments, and was executed by waist chop in the Xianyang market, with his entire clan annihilated.
