Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 709 - 713: Starfield Shock_1

"The Dominator Godhead should only be usable by Xiang Yu!" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

In the imperial study, Qin Wudao toyed with a Godhead in his hand. A terrifying aura of domination permeated the air around him. It was an aura of unparalleled supremacy, enough to make all worlds tremble in fear and countless living creatures shudder. However, when this domineering energy made contact with the imperial aura within Qin Wudao, it was like a mouse meeting a cat and was instantly suppressed. This clearly demonstrated that an unbridgeable chasm existed between dominators and emperors.

Now that Fortune has been replenished and is much more robust, resurrecting the four ministers should be feasible! A smile graced Qin Wudao's face as he muttered to himself.

With a wave of his right hand, the brilliantly golden Investiture of the Gods floated above the imperial desk. Its sacred power swept out, containing countless formidable forces, including those of the Emperor's Path, Life and Death, Reincarnation, Cause and Effect, and the Five Elements.

Opening the Investiture of the Gods revealed numerous dim, lightless names, such as Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, Xiao He, Wang Jian, Yue Fei, and Xiang Yu.

"System, resurrect Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, and Xiang Yu!" After a moment of contemplation, Qin Wudao made his decision.

The decision to resurrect Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia was to manage the realm's affairs. Although figures like Gui Guzi, Cao Cao, and Zhou Yu were present in the court, a considerable backlog of state affairs had accumulated. It wouldn't be problematic in the short term, but in the long run, it was bound to lead to poor governance and bad policies. Moreover, ever since he defeated Luo Hou, many court positions had become vacant. Although other official posts were filled, he had yet to appoint a Prime Minister. This led to quite a few court officials greedily eyeing this position, fostering infighting beneath the surface.

The resurrection of Jia Xu was because the Hidden Guard had entered a dormant state. This caused a significant reduction in the imperial court's control over local territories and delayed intelligence gathering within the starfield.

As for the reason to resurrect Xiang Yu, it was even simpler: he could fuse with the 'Dominator Godhead'!

WHOOSH!

Within the Investiture of the Gods, four golden lights soared into the sky, merging into the sea of Fortune.

At the zenith of the Nine Heavens, the Fortune Golden Dragon, initially ecstatic, suddenly looked dejected. It spat out four magnificent streams of Fortune, appearing quite drained.

In the sea of Fortune, the bodies of Zhuge Liang and the other three appeared, suffused with vigorous life force.

"System, summon Zuo Ci!" Qin Wudao ordered quietly as he put away the Investiture of the Gods.

BOOM!

The next moment, ten thousand rays of rosy light appeared in the sky above the Imperial Capital, revealing a dreadful immortal might capable of overturning Heaven and Earth, as if a supreme existence was about to descend.

Throughout the Nine Provinces, the celestial mechanisms were in chaos; the sun and moon appeared simultaneously, surrounded by a myriad of stars!

「At the Royal Astronomical Observatory」

Yuan Tiangang, who was observing the celestial phenomena, looked up, a hint of a smile on his face. My Dao is no longer a solitary one!

Looking across the Great Qin Heavenly Court, disciples of Confucianism were the most numerous, followed by the School of the Military. True cultivators of Taoism were only him and Zhang Jiao. However, Zhang Jiao practiced the Dao of Peace, a branch of Taoism adept at deluding people, so it had not been spread among the common folk of the Qin Dynasty. And since Yuan Tiangang had to preside over the Royal Astronomical Observatory to divine auspicious and inauspicious events, he had no leisure to spread his teachings. As such, the influence of Taoism among the people was next to nothing. Now that another proficient Taoist was present, he could finally plan for the rise of Taoism!

「In the Imperial Capital, inside a secluded monastery」

Xuanzang was chanting Buddhist scriptures. Feeling the profound Taoist energy in the void and considering the plight of the Buddhist School, he sighed quietly. When will an eminent monk of the Buddhist School arrive! Although Taoism had little influence among the populace, it still held a place in the imperial court. But what about the Buddhist School? He was its sole representative, holding only an honorary title.

「At the Minister of Rites' mansion」

Liu Zhiyan, dressed in Confucian robes, declared firmly, "Confucianism is the righteous path!" After the fall of Dong Zhongshu and Wang Yangming, he became the leader of Confucianism, promoting its development among the people and committed to establishing Confucianism as the official state doctrine. Naturally, he did not wish to see other schools of thought emerge.

「In the State Preceptor's mansion」

Gui Guzi's solemn voice echoed, "Next, it should be time for Taoism to rise!"

Under everyone's gaze, Zuo Ci, clad in a Taoist robe, possessing an ethereal temperament, and riding an immortal crane, appeared between Heaven and Earth. Immortal light burst forth from him, making him resemble an ancient Daoist Immortal descending to the mortal realm.

「In a certain General's mansion」

Cao Cao looked up at the sky, curious as to which Taoist master had emerged. However, upon seeing Zuo Ci, his entire face darkened, his eyes blazing with fury. It's that fellow! In his previous life, after becoming a feudal lord, he was feared by the world. Yet, at a banquet, he was humiliated by Zuo Ci, an incident that became a lifelong disgrace. He had not the slightest fondness for this wretched Taoist.

...

"This humble Taoist, Zuo Ci, pays his respects to Your Majesty!" A few minutes later, Zuo Ci entered the imperial study and saluted respectfully.

"Please rise!" Qin Wudao gestured for Zuo Ci to stand and covertly inspected his information.

Name: Zuo Ci!

Cultivation Realm: Late-stage Profound Immortal!

Cultivation Technique: "Purity Dan Scripture"!

Divine Skills: Summon Wind and Rain, Heaven and Earth Grant Blessings, Preaching and Manifesting Holiness, Qimen Dunjia, Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell, Immortal's Wrath...

Bio: Self-proclaimed Mr. Wujiao. A famous fangshi from the late Eastern Han Dynasty. In his youth, he resided on Heavenly Pillar Mountain, studying the Alchemy Technique. He understood the Five Classics, was also versed in astrology, comprehended the Liu Jia, could command spirits and deities, and could conjure feasts from nowhere!

Note: When Zuo Ci, Zhang Jiao, and Yu Ji appear simultaneously, they can unleash the Divine Skill 'Change Heaven and Earth'!

Late-stage Profound Immortal Realm, not bad! Qin Wudao nodded inwardly in approval. After a moment's thought, he commanded in a resonant voice, "Issue a decree! Confer upon Zuo Ci the position of a Third-Rank Enshrinement and task him with spreading Taoism!"

The powerful and majestic voice emanated from the imperial study, reverberating above the Imperial Capital and traveling far into the distance.

...

「In the Sky Sword Pavilion's main hall」

The Pavilion Master of the Sky Sword Pavilion looked at the intelligence report in his hand, which detailed the entire campaign of the Great Qin Heavenly Court against the Ji Modian and the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court. His hands trembled uncontrollably, his heart filled with astonishment. Great Qin Heavenly Court, I have underestimated you! He had long anticipated the rise of the Great Qin Heavenly Court but hadn't expected it to be so swift.

Less than three years! It had accomplished what the Sky Sword Pavilion had been unable to do for billions of years!

"Haha!" Suddenly, the Sky Sword Immortal burst into wild laughter. He laughed until his face turned red, until tears streamed down his cheeks, laughing with utter abandon. He was too excited! The Human Clan of the Red Dragon Starfield has finally risen! The era spanning hundreds of millions of years, where the Human Clan suffered humiliation from the myriad other clans, is now gone forever!

...

"The Ji Modian has been annihilated!"

"The Molting Dragon Heavenly Court has been destroyed!"

"How is this possible? The Qin Dynasty is just a newly ascended power. How could they possibly conquer the Ji Modian and the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court?"

Soon, the other factions in the Red Dragon Starfield also received news of the destruction of the Ji Modian and the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court. All were plunged into shock, and an uproar ensued. Those were terrifying powers, each presided over by a Taiyi Earth Immortal expert! How could they suddenly be annihilated? How exactly did the Great Qin Heavenly Court manage it?

Damn it! Does this mean that from now on, the Red Dragon Starfield will be dominated by the Human Clan? Many experts from the various clans trembled as they read the intelligence reports. Their faces turned pale, and cold sweat beaded on their foreheads, as if they were being stared down by a terrifying demon.
