The Eastern Mountain Emperor condensed the shadow of Mount Tai, intending to suppress all rebellious enemies.
At this moment, Nameless and Shikotei were like two tiny insects, seemingly ready to be crushed at any moment.
Like the pitiful Monkey King, no matter how much they jumped and struggled, they could never escape the Buddha's palm.
"How on earth can they resist this?"
Seeing this scene, Miyu's face paled slightly.
This was a true god!
An existence on the level of a chief deity, overwhelmingly powerful to the point of despair.
She felt more and more heartache for her brother.
He walked the path of human history, again and again sacrificing everything to protect humanity.
Every battle left her heart aching.
Without Alaya's footage, no one would have known that someone had been silently safeguarding humanity all along.
"The Eastern Mountain Emperor is known as the supreme of the Five Sacred Mountains, comparable to gods like Hades of the Greek and Osiris of Egypt," Kirina also clicked her tongue.
A true chief god level being, overwhelming most other gods.
Now, this deity even tried to summon an entire Mount Tai to crush everything—despairingly strong.
If the gods united, wouldn't they be able to ignite all of human history and make the earth reverse its rotation?
Just thinking about it was terrifying.
As someone so weak, she couldn't even imagine how one could fight back.
Fortunately, Nameless had quietly taken on all these disasters.
The more Kirina thought about it, the more fortunate she felt.
She must have saved the world in a previous life to enjoy such a peaceful daily life now!
"Unimaginably terrifying," Illya agreed deeply.
Under the nervous gazes of the three little lolis—
On screen.
The Eastern Mountain Emperor condensed the Mount Tai projection and coldly declared divine judgment:
"In my name, I sentence your souls to eternal damnation in hell, never to be reborn!"
Beneath him, a vision of hell appeared.
Countless evil spirits wailed and howled, displaying the grotesque horror of the Nine Hells.
Many people were thrown into terror and despair.
One after another, they knelt and prayed for the god's forgiveness.
Before such divine might, ordinary people could not resist.
Nameless raised his head to gaze at the massive shadow blocking the sky, not retreating an inch:
"Gods—what right do you have to judge humanity?"
Hum—
As energy surged, a bronze cauldron suddenly appeared in his hand.
A square-shaped Jiuzhou Ding.
In the Xia Dynasty, Yu the Great divided the world into Nine Provinces and ordered each to contribute bronze to cast the Nine Cauldrons.
Each cauldron was engraved with the mountains, rivers, and people of its province.
Since then, the Nine Cauldrons symbolized the empire.
The first, second... Nameless projected all nine bronze cauldrons, spinning violently around them.
At the same time—
Shikotei raised the Heavenly Sword, pointing at the gods,
"Under all heaven, every inch of land is my sovereign soil; every person is my subject! You gods are but my vassals!"
(The second hand embarrassment is terrifying.)
The Heavenly Sword roared.
The wishes of all the people of Qin gathered into this Emperor's Sword.
The Emperor—child of heaven.
While the gods were thieves of heaven's authority.
Boom!
The Mount Tai projection came crashing down, clashing with the Nine Cauldrons and the Emperor's Sword in an incomprehensible collision.
As if all of the region quivered slightly.
Under this tremor, the Mount Tai projection actually failed to break through the Nine Cauldrons' defense.
—
"As expected of you, my dear friend."
Gilgamesh, while eating hotpot, had a particularly complicated expression watching this scene.
Back in Uruk, Sanjiro had snatched his Ea.
Sacrificing everything, he finally severed the link between gods and humans, returning freedom to mankind.
For that, he completely sacrificed himself.
Even though it was just a fake death that tricked him, it was enough to make Gilgamesh willing to help trap Merlin and forcibly to turn her into "Merry."
Now, seeing him again aiding the First Emperor to battle the gods, once more sacrificing himself—
How could such a savior of mankind remain unsung?
"It was really hard back then," Sanjiro sighed.
The ancient ancestral gods and human emperors all fought tirelessly for humanity, opposing the primordial gods.
Shennong and the Yellow Emperor helped humans grow strong.
Emperor Zhuanxu tried to sever the heavenly link, stopping gods from descending, but ultimately failed.
Yu gathered bronze to forge the Nine Cauldrons, building the nine province defense to resist the gods.
It succeeded—somewhat.
The desperate efforts of the ancient emperors finally accelerated the decline of the age of gods.
The gods found it harder and harder to descend into the mortal world, leading to mutual slaughter—the brutal Investiture of the Gods war.
In the video, he was trying to use all of this to end the age of gods completely!
Sanjiro's face was full of memories as he whispered,
"So... can I pay off my debt now?"
Two hundred and twenty million in debt — he'd never pay that off in this lifetime!
"Dream on! It's all mine!"
Gilgamesh refused without hesitation.
But as he was about to snatch a piece of meat, he slightly withdrew his chopsticks.
Let him have it for now.
On screen.
For the first time, the cold and indifferent god revealed a surprised expression,
"So it's the Nine Cauldrons defense left behind by Yu. Do you really think you can resist the gods?"
"Why not?"
Nameless looked up at the god, full of mockery.
"If it's truly useless, why haven't you gods descended to the mortal world yourselves?"
A line full of biting ridicule.
The Eastern Mountain Emperor's expression grew colder,
"Mortal, you seek your own destruction. The gods shall soon cleanse the world, and your time is running out!"
Earlier, summoning Mount Tai had been his most powerful strike, yet it failed to overcome the defense.
The fading of the divine era made interfering in the mortal realm increasingly difficult for the gods.
Then—
This lofty god actually withdrew.
—
After the god departed.
Tamamo-no-Mae stared in shock.
"Nameless, you even had this kind of trump card?"
The Eastern Mountain Emperor was actually temporarily helpless. Even with the decline of the divine era, it was still an earth-shattering miracle.
After her shock passed—
Tamamo-no-Mae swayed her hips and walked toward Nameless with a charming smile,
"So, would you like to dual cultivate with me?"
As a fox spirit, she was indeed eyeing his body.
Tamamo: I'm honest, and that's commendable!
Unexpectedly—
Nameless smiled,
"If you can shake my will, I will consider you a partner."
"Haha, truly?"
Tamamo-no-Mae instantly burst into joy.
This time, I've got him!
That guy actually dared to underestimate her charm as a fox spirit.
She fully unleashed her allure, her eyes rippling like water, her crimson lips slightly parted.
Her seductive body swayed gently, intentionally or unintentionally teasing him.
Let alone the soldiers who were merely watching from afar—even countless viewers blushed furiously.
Even through the screen, it was hard to resist her stunning charm.
However—
Nameless remained expressionless, letting out a light sigh: "As I expected, compared to the other women I've seen, you're still far inferior."
The desires belonging to humanity were boiling.
Not only his own—
He extracted and refined the "evil" radiating from the hundreds of thousands around him and infused it into the nine-tailed fox's body.
"N-no, this time it's too much. Let me adjust for a bit!" Tamamo-no-Mae moaned with an intoxicating voice.
The five tails behind her swayed gently.
A sixth tail had already taken form in a translucent state, about to be fully born.
Once the sixth tail solidified, her power would instantly multiply ninefold, completely overwhelming Nameless!
Unfortunately, she was still far from that.
Inside the conference hall—
Everyone silently stared at the real-life fox spirit.
"Don't look at me like that… you're making me shy… Migu~" Tamamo feigned shyness.
Everyone present—
The father and son from Britain no longer concealed their hostility.
Had it not been the decorum they want to uphold, they would've already drawn their Noble Phantasms against her.
Terrifying, simply too terrifying.
What, is it a crime for me, a mere fox spirit, to crave Nameless? I just want his body—is that so wrong?
But damn that bastard—when I find you, I'll make sure you submit under my skirts!
Damn you, Alaya! Exposing that damn Emperor's black history is one thing, but why did you have to expose mine too?
The mighty nine-tailed fox spirit, failing to seduce a man—this was a humiliation of the highest degree!
Under the varied gazes of everyone—
The video continued playing.
After the god left, Qi had no more strength to resist.
The iron cavalry of Qin swept through Qi, thus ending the Six Kingdoms and unifying the land!
Inside the royal palace at Xianyang of Qin—
"Transcending the Sovereigns, surpassing the Five Emperors—the supreme ruler. This is the First Emperor, and that is I!"
Shikotei officially crowned himself as the First Emperor, solemnly swearing:
"In the name of the First Emperor, I vow!
As long as I draw breath, the realm shall know order and peace. Its borders shall be secure, its people protected. And when death comes, I shall rise beyond mortality—my will living on as a guardian spirit over this land and its legacy
Let this oath be seen by the sun and the stars, felt by the earth itself, and heard by all—gods, legends, and monsters alike!"
The video continued.
After destroying the Six Kingdoms and unifying the world,
Qin truly reached its peak.
But the lofty gods still hung overhead like a sword of Damocles ready to fall at any moment.
Under these circumstances—
The First Emperor, leading a million soldiers, stood before the sacrificial altar in the palace of Xianyang.
Nameless stood alone atop the altar, as if offering himself as the sacrifice, with a solitary tomb standing beside him.
Nameless held the Heavenly Sword, the Nine Cauldrons spinning around him, looking up at the heavens:
"I, the Nameless Heroic Spirit, speaks directly to the gods."
His voice wasn't loud, nor carried any grandeur.
Yet—
The entire world seemed to fall silent, listening to his words.
"I know you gods have always observed humanity. Your silence is your greatest disdain. We have endured this disdain long enough."
Nameless raised the Heavenly Sword, and for the first time, directly questioned the celestial gods:
"I give you thirty seconds. If you do not respond, I will fully activate the Nine Cauldrons Formation and perish together with you!"
Buzz—
The once silent world suddenly erupted with fierce winds.
A bright sunny sky turned into night in an instant.
One after another, phantoms appeared in the sky: "Stop, you mortal who dares provoke the gods!"
The gods finally lost their composure.
They had long sought to return to the mortal realm and would not tolerate anyone interfering.
If given a bit more time, they would fully descend into the world.
But now, this mortal forced them to show themselves!
At this moment, the gods were filled with rage—
"Mortal, you seek death!"
"Kill him! He must be killed!"
"Stop, mortal! If you're willing, we can grant you godhood, placing you among us!"
—
Thunder! Storms! Torrential rain!
Countless disasters swept across the world, aiming to crush all mortal resistance once and for all.
The gods wielded their authorities without restraint.
However—
The hundreds of thousands of soldiers below remained silent.
Not a single one knelt or begged for mercy—all faced the gods resolutely.
Shikotei suddenly raised his hand and shouted: "Wind! Great wind!"
"Great Wind"—the battle cry of Qin armies on campaign.
At that moment, hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers all shouted in unison—
"Wind! Great wind!"
"Wind! Great wind!"
"Wind! Great wind!"
—
Their voices merged into a torrential wave, so perfectly synchronized it was unimaginable.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Hundreds of thousands of black-armored soldiers raised their weapons and marched toward the gods.
Their unified footsteps echoed throughout the land.
"Have we no clothes? We shall share our robes. When the king raises his army, we shall repair our halberds together," Shikotei stood at the front of the army, glaring at the gods.
Nameless raised the Heavenly Sword, the earlier retreat of the Eastern Emperor was because the gods were temporarily unable to interfere in the mortal realm.
They desperately needed time to reopen the divine-mortal passage, allowing the gods to descend once more.
But now, Nameless refused to give them any chance!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The hundreds of thousands of black-armored soldiers continued advancing, shouting loudly: "Wind! Great wind!"
Before the might of humanity's will—
For the first time, the gods felt a sliver of fear.
They finally understood why generation after generation of human monarchs never gave up resisting the gods.
This was engraved in humanity's very blood and soul—a primal instinct to pursue freedom.
"My comrades, raise the rebellious sword toward the heavens with me. This sword shall bring peace to humanity for all eternity!" Nameless raised the Heavenly Sword and roared to the army: "Charge!"
The First Emperor and hundreds of thousands of soldiers shouted together—
"Charge!"
"Charge!"
—
Endless might gathered onto the Heavenly Sword at that moment.
Boom!
The sword blazed with dazzling golden flames, as though condensing the hope of all Qin's people.
"We are born free—who dares stand above us?" Nameless swung his sword toward the heavens: "This sword strikes for all life, cutting down the gods! Its name is—"
[Heaven-Slaying Sword!]
As the sword struck, the sky and land changed color.
A brilliant pillar of light shot into the sky, sweeping away all the thunder, storms, and disasters summoned by the gods—restoring light to the world.
