Qin Renhuang just became an immortal, and you told me this is the prehistoric time

"When Yin and Yang are in harmony, creation arises!"

Ying Xuan's eyes gleamed! The effect far exceeded expectations!
Without further hesitation, he communicated with the He Shi Bi jade with his mind! Deep within the jade seal, the sealed Yin spirit space suddenly burst open!

"Disperse!"

Tens of thousands of hazy, ghostly phantoms surged forth from the jade seal!

They did not coalesce into a terrifying army of ghosts, but under the guidance of the world's will, they transformed into countless tiny streams of light, silently spreading to every corner of the Qin world—mountains, rivers, plains, deserts, towns, villages…

Even some remote and desolate places!

Millions of spirits instantly merged into heaven and earth!
boom--!
The entire Qin world seemed to have been hit by a huge stone!

The calm lake surface was instantly churned into towering waves!
The free-floating energy between heaven and earth frantically converged towards those areas that had merged with the Yin spirits!
Upon contact with the spirits, these energies are rapidly refined and purified, transforming into purer, gentler, and more easily absorbed spiritual energy from heaven and earth!
A vast amount of spiritual energy feeds back into the world, greedily absorbed by the earth, mountains, plants, and all living things!

The world's "spirituality" surged at this moment!
The mountains and rivers seemed to breathe, the streams flowed with a spiritual charm, the grass and trees were even greener and more lush, and even the air became fresher and more vibrant!

The world of Qin, like an ignorant child, suddenly becomes enlightened and gains a clearer sense of self!
Outside the world's membrane, the violent semi-transformed chaotic energy that had been slowly seeping in was now being drawn in by a huge force, surging in wildly!

After these energies entered the world, they did not directly merge into heaven and earth, but were captured and absorbed by the illusory stars in the sky formed by the projection of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends Grand Array!
One by one, the stars lit up!

They are like giant millstones, crushing and purifying the raging chaotic energy, ultimately transforming it into beams of cool, bright moonlight!

The moonlight did not fall on the earth, but instead gathered into an enormous silver pillar that descended from the sky and precisely poured onto the towering Jianmu tree, which stood a thousand meters tall, in the center of the palace!

"Roar--!"

The giant Jianmu tree let out a silent roar!

The tree trunk trembled violently, and a vibrant green light shot into the sky! Nourished by the immense power of the moonlight, it grew wildly once more!

One thousand meters...one thousand five hundred meters...two thousand meters!

In a short while, a giant tree, over two thousand meters tall, stood proudly in the palace!
Its branches and leaves spread out, covering almost half of the capital! The life force and pure spiritual energy it exuded were so rich that they were almost liquid!

More importantly, Ying Xuan clearly felt that the connection between this giant tree and the origin of the Great Qin world had become closer than ever before!
It is no longer an outsider, but has truly become a part of this world, becoming the core hub of the world's energy cycle!
With the complete fusion of the giant Jianmu tree, and the balance of Yin and Yang brought by millions of Yin spirits, along with the massive influx of spiritual energy, the primordial power of the Great Qin world surged! It instantly broke through a certain critical point!
One hundred servings!

At this moment, the entire world fell into an eerie stillness!

The sounds of wind, water, and people... all sounds seemed to be sucked away! Time and space seemed to freeze for a moment!
next moment!
boom!
The deafening roar exploded deep within the soul of every living being!

The entire Qin world began an unprecedented and frenzied expansion! The land was stretching! The oceans were expanding! The sky was rising higher!

The familiar mountains and rivers have become more vast and majestic at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Countless new mountains, rivers, lakes, and plains appeared out of thin air! The volume of the entire world expanded several times in an instant!
"The world's form is set!"

Ying Xuan's voice was like the voice of the heavens, resounding throughout the universe!

With a single thought, he connected with the very origin of the world!
As the ruler of the world, at the crucial moment of his ascension, he has the right to choose the form of the world!
Is it spherical? Or flat?

"A world of immortals and heroes should have the grandeur of immortals and heroes!"

Without hesitation, Ying Xuan chose the non-spherical shape, which resembled a huge landmass floating in chaos!
Under his will, the earth and the sea extended infinitely in all directions!

All cultivators, regardless of their location, clearly felt the earth tremble beneath their feet and saw the horizon stretching into the distance! Mountains and rivers shifted, and the world changed!

This sight left countless people speechless, and they then knelt down in worship!
Just as the Qin world was expanding wildly, a sudden change occurred!

The massive stone gate that connects the Qin and Song worlds is now trembling violently!
On the other side of the stone gate, the power of heaven and earth and the pure energy of the Great Song world flowed uncontrollably through the stone gate and into the Great Qin world!
The sky over the Great Song Dynasty turned gray, the earth lost its luster, and the concentration of spiritual energy dropped sharply!

The entire world has begun to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Meanwhile, within the Qin world, the straight road connecting the capital with various counties, built at the cost of countless manpower and resources, was groaning under the strain of the massive expansion and movement of the earth's tectonic plates!
Huge cracks, like hideous scars, spread and tore along the straight road!
Hundreds of thousands of slaves who were working on the straight road were terrified by this sudden natural disaster!
They looked at the cracked earth beneath their feet, at the mountains that were constantly “growing” in the distance, and listened to the roar. Their desperate cries instantly resounded through the sky!
"The sky has fallen! The earth has collapsed!"

"Help! I don't want to die!"

"Divine punishment! This is divine punishment!"

Ying Xuan stood atop the imperial palace, his divine sense covering the heavens and earth.

He witnessed the shrinking of the Song Dynasty world, the collapse of the straight road, and the cries of slaves.

He frowned slightly, his eyes filled with doubt.

"The ascension of a world involves the absorption of the origins of neighboring weaker worlds, which is a law of chaos. The loss of energy in the Great Song world is inevitable."

He knew it.

"However, the collapse of this straight road and the terror of the slaves... are not what I wished for. The expansion of the world should bring blessings to all living beings, so why has it caused such panic?"

His gaze pierced through space and landed on a slave kneeling at the edge of a crack, trembling and weeping bitterly.

The slave's eyes were filled with fear of the unknown and incomprehensible power of heaven and earth, as well as despair at his own insignificance and helplessness.

"Yes……"

Ying Xuan suddenly felt enlightened.

"For me, the advancement of the world means an increase in power and an expansion of territory."

However, for ordinary people, especially those who have never cultivated and are ignorant, it is a catastrophe that shatters the heavens and the earth! They cannot comprehend the changes in the world and can only regard it as divine punishment or the end of the world.

"It seems that... popularizing cultivation, enlightening the people, enabling all living beings to understand the world, adapt to changes, and even participate in them... is now of utmost urgency."

Ying Xuan's gaze deepened.

"Only when every citizen of the Great Qin is like a dragon can they truly breathe the same air as the world, share its destiny, and enjoy the glory of advancement, instead of... becoming terrified ants in the tide of change."

The world of Qin was turned upside down.

The mountains rise abruptly from the ground, piercing the clouds, with peaks upon peaks, making them appear even more majestic and precipitous.

The plains stretched out in all directions as if pulled by an invisible giant hand, and the original wilderness was transformed into a more expansive Gobi Desert, grassland, forest and lake!
The newly added vast territories are all located in remote and desolate places far from human settlements. The shock and strange phenomena brought about by this dramatic change in the world are enough to make all living beings tremble with fear!
"The sky has fallen! The earth has collapsed!"

"The mountain god is angry! Run!" "Doomsday! Doomsday is coming!"

Panic spread! In towns and villages across the country, people were panicked, running around shouting and in complete chaos!
Merchants closed their markets, farmers abandoned their fields, rumors spread, bandits took the opportunity to cause chaos, and order was on the verge of collapse!

"quiet!"

Just as the chaos reached its peak, a majestic and grand voice resounded deep within the minds of every citizen of the Great Qin!

The voice originated from the supreme being in their hearts—Emperor Ying Xuan! Through the He Shi Bi jade seal, Ying Xuan's will reached the hearts of the people!
"The anomalies in heaven and earth are a sign of the world's advancement! They are neither disaster nor calamity, but a blessing for the Great Qin!"

Officials of all prefectures and counties are to immediately pacify the people and maintain order! The Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Eastern Depot's inner guards are to patrol all directions! Anyone who takes advantage of the chaos to commit crimes, incite unrest, or gather crowds to cause trouble, regardless of who they are, shall be executed without exception!

His voice was like a stabilizing force!

The anxious people, upon hearing that familiar and authoritative voice, felt as if they had found their pillar of support, and the chaotic shouts gradually subsided.

Officials in various regions, as if waking from a dream, suppressed their shock and immediately organized people to beat drums and gongs, appease the people, and proclaim His Majesty's decree.

Meanwhile, the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the Eastern Depot's inner guards, scattered throughout the country, sprang into action like swords drawn from their sheaths!
Shadowy figures darted through town streets and rural paths, their cold blades mercilessly slashing at the bandits who took advantage of the chaos and the wicked who stirred up trouble!

A flash of blood, followed by screams of agony!

Under the iron-fisted approach, the chaotic situation was quickly cooled down and calmed down, as if doused with cold water!
Ying Xuan stood atop the palace, feeling the surging power emanating from the He Shi Bi jade seal in his hand.

The world's core has expanded more than fivefold during the upgrade!
The power of the world contained within it is as vast as the ocean and as pure as gold, far surpassing any previous moment!

Although the accumulated power of the world was consumed to support the advancement, new power of the world is now being generated and gathered from the expanding world. The scale representing the power of the world in the jade seal has been restored and stabilized at more than one hundred units!
"The World of Thousands of Sands... A Level One World..."

With a slight thought, Ying Xuan discerned the changes in the world's hierarchy.

The Great Qin world has successfully advanced from the lowest level of the Hengsha world to a first-level world!
This is not just an increase in strength, but a leap in the level of life!

The laws of the world have become more complete, and its potential is even greater! What delighted him even more was that during the advancement process, the world's origin seemed to have accumulated an additional amount of power, laying a preliminary foundation for future advancement to a second-level world!

Along with the joy came problems. The world expanded and the terrain changed dramatically. The straight roads and official roads that had been built with enormous manpower and resources to connect all parts of the empire were now riddled with holes!

The movement and expansion of tectonic plates have torn apart, twisted, and even completely blocked many roads by newly formed mountains and rivers! The vital transportation arteries are almost paralyzed!

Xuzhou City in Sichuan, a major town for immigrants, is still reeling from the aftermath of the recent chaos.

Many people who were originally planning to return to their hometowns or go elsewhere were stranded in the city due to road damage and natural disasters, causing widespread panic.

What's even more peculiar is that Xuzhou City and its surrounding area were once filled with a large number of Yin spirits that merged with the heavens and earth, resulting in extremely heavy Yin energy. Although this energy was neutralized by the subsequent influx of heaven and earth energy, it also became one of the areas with the most abundant and purest spiritual energy in the entire Qin world!

The misty air was almost within reach.

Ying Xuan's figure appeared silently in the sky above Xuzhou City.

He looked down at the city below, which was gradually returning to order, and at the torn and blocked official road outside the city.

His gaze swept over the stranded people, their faces filled with worry.

"If roads are blocked, all industries will struggle to thrive."

Ying Xuan muttered to himself, "The Shu region is prosperous and rich in resources; we must quickly open up a passage to the heart of Qin!"

Without further hesitation, he took a step forward and arrived at a broken section of the official road outside the city.

The once flat road is now blocked by a huge, bottomless crack that is tens of feet wide. The crack's edges are jagged with rocks and soil, making it impassable.

"Fossils turned into mud!"

Ying Xuan pointed his fingers like a sword, aimed at the hard rock at the edge of the crack, and pointed it in mid-air!
A gentle yet powerful magical force, capable of transforming the world, rippled outwards!
The hard rocky mountain instantly softened and melted! The viscous, scorching lava flow was restrained by an invisible force and precisely injected into the huge crack!
The magma cooled and solidified rapidly, perfectly integrating with the existing roadbed!

In a short while, a wide, smooth rock road, hundreds of feet wide, spanned the crack and reconnected the broken road!
This is just the beginning!
Ying Xuan moved like lightning, following the broken official road westward!
He would stop at any place that was broken, collapsed, or blocked by newly formed terrain, and point with his hand!
"Fossils turned into mud!"

"Fossils turned into mud!"

"Fossils turned into mud!"

One spell after another was unleashed! The hard rock turned into lava, filling the abyss.

Steep slopes were leveled and reshaped into gentle slopes.

The raging river was diverted and a wide stone bridge was built over it...

Like a master craftsman, he used heaven and earth as a furnace and the Dao as a carving knife to carve out a wide, straight, flat, and incredibly solid rock road in the rugged mountains and rivers of Shu!

After hundreds of spells were cast, a brand-new stone road connecting Xuzhou with the core of Qin territory, winding through the mountains, was finally formed!

The road surface was as smooth as a mirror, wide enough for dozens of carriages to travel side by side. The cliffs on both sides were sheared straight by magic, making it even more magnificent!

This road is far more sturdy than any official road before, capable of supporting thousands of troops and remaining imperishable for a thousand years!

Inside and outside Xuzhou City, countless people stared in disbelief at the scene!
Looking at that magnificent stone road that appeared out of nowhere and spanned the natural barrier!

Fear and unease were instantly replaced by shock and ecstasy!

"Your Majesty! It is Your Majesty who has manifested His power!"

"A miracle! This is a miracle performed by His Majesty!"

"The road is open! The road is open! We can go home now!"

Cheers and shouts of worship echoed through the sky!
After Ying Xuan finished doing all this, his figure reappeared in the sky above Xuzhou City.

His gaze swept down, where Empress Lü Zhi, Consort Qu Ruo, and several other imperial concubines, accompanied by palace maids and eunuchs, were calming the people in the city, distributing food, and methodically handling the aftermath. (End of Chapter)
