Ying Shaoyang stood in the void, his divine sense like an invisible net, meticulously enveloping the goblin city below. Within the city, the auras of millions of goblins who had reached the first level of life form were like countless stars, many of whom possessed exceptionally powerful auras, clearly suppressing their counterparts in the surrounding area.

This force, in terms of both quantity and average quality, far surpasses the current regular army of the Qin Dynasty. If the Qin Dynasty were to confront it head-on with an equal number of Imperial Guards, it would likely be forced into a bitter struggle, or even find itself at a disadvantage.

However, Ying Shaoyang felt no fear.

The true trump card of the Great Qin Dynasty has never been its large number of ordinary troops, but rather the elite of the elite, such as the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Eastern Depot, the primordial spirit cultivators among fox demons and Taoist priests, the many immortal artifacts undergoing transformation, and even more so, the world's ruler himself!

"A strong team that can withstand the test of time cannot be raised in a greenhouse."

These goblins, ferocious, brave, and numerous, are the perfect 'sharpening stone' for honing the mighty Qin Imperial Guard and selecting true generals!

A sharp glint flashed in Ying Shaoyang's eyes.

Since his ascension to the throne, the Qin Dynasty's military strength has been continuously improving, and top generals have emerged one after another. However, an army that has not undergone the brutal test of blood and fire can never be called a true iron-blooded and mighty army!

His gaze swept down. The inner city was luxurious and noisy, while the outer city was dirty and chaotic; the stark contrast was like an insurmountable chasm. "If they were both human, such oppression would have long since triggered a cataclysmic upheaval."

He chuckled and shook his head, no longer paying attention to these internal conflicts.

He decided that before bringing goblins into the Qin Dynasty to "train troops," he must first understand the overall strength and power distribution of this world as much as possible.

He glanced disdainfully at the seemingly "luxurious" buildings in the inner city below.

"If we divide it by power, this place can barely be considered a royal city. It seems that all the places I have passed through are within its territory."

This "royal city" level power has over a million level one life forms and hundreds of millions of peak ordinary life forms! With such a massive population, they haven't even developed a decent writing system; their only "map" is that abstract drawing from Stone City.

With a thought, Ying Shaoyang unleashed his supernatural ability to ride the clouds. Clouds and mist spontaneously formed beneath his feet, carrying him into the air like an immortal, flying towards a circle marked on the edge of the simple painting.

The clouds and mist moved extremely fast, causing the mountains and rivers below to rush past. Soon, his divine sense detected intense energy fluctuations and deafening battle cries coming from ahead.

Lowering the clouds, one could see two massive goblin armies locked in a fierce battle on a vast wasteland below!

Like two green tides colliding violently, they brandished heavy weapons and frantically attacked any alien creatures in sight. Severed limbs and broken arms flew everywhere, and green blood stained the earth a dark green, creating a bloody and chaotic scene.

"This drawing...it really is a world map of this realm!"

Ying Shaoyang looked down at the goblins fighting over the ownership of the circle on the drawing, and a hint of surprise flashed through his mind.

He roughly counted and found that there were hundreds of circles representing the goblin faction on the drawing! And this was only the goblin race; there were other symbols around it representing pigmen and fishmen.

"The three races all reproduce at such a terrifying rate... No wonder an iron vein can easily give birth to an iron mother, and the metal output of a single city exceeds the total output of my Great Qin in a year."

This is the result of the combined effect of the large number of living beings and the long-term storage and feedback of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Ying Shaoyang understood this clearly and gained a deeper understanding of the reason why this world was rich in resources.

His divine sense focused on the goblin leaders with the strongest auras on the battlefield below. "Their strength is roughly equivalent to the high-level Nascent Soul Realm, which is the high-level level of first-level life."

Ying Shaoyang assessed the situation. With his current peak first-level life force, his spiritual power had begun to transform into pure yang and even condensed a trace of immortal energy. Even without using any immortal artifacts, eliminating a leader of this level would not be difficult.

But the problem is, how will the Qin imperial guards deal with this army of millions, tens of millions of goblins who are fierce in battle and even eat their own kind?

On the battlefield below, fallen goblins, whether friend or foe, are quickly dragged away and devoured by their nearby companions. There are almost no intact corpses on the battlefield. Their professionalism and efficiency in handling "battlefield logistics" are astonishing.

Ying Shaoyang did not linger. The clouds beneath his feet shifted, and he flew toward the center of another circle of similar size in the painting.

Soon, another goblin megacity of similar size appeared in the distance. It was also divided into a luxurious inner city and a chaotic outer city, and it was also inhabited by hundreds of millions of goblins.

This time, Ying Shaoyang did not conceal his whereabouts.

He directly unleashed the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends Formation! The formation, refined by lightning, surged in power, and 108 illusory star images flashed across the sky. The immense power of the stars, mixed with the might of thunder, crashed down like an invisible mountain!
The entire city was instantly enveloped by a terrifying pressure. All the goblins, both inside and outside the city, felt difficulty breathing, and those with weaker strength collapsed to the ground. Several of the strongest auras within the city suddenly erupted in an attempt to resist, but under the suppression of the great formation, they were like fireflies compared to the bright moon, instantly and firmly imprisoned!

Ying Shaoyang flashed and appeared in the most magnificent stone palace in the inner city. A goblin, nearly three meters tall, wearing armor inlaid with various gems and possessing an aura at the peak of the first level of life, was looking at him in terror, but his body was being pressed down by an invisible force, unable to move.

Ying Shaoyang raised his hand and made a grasping motion. An invisible force penetrated directly into the goblin leader's chest, and amidst the leader's shrill screams, he forcefully dug out a fist-sized energy core that shimmered with dazzling golden light! He casually tossed the core, which contained immense energy, into the stone gate space, and then cast a profound rune that entered the goblin leader's brow.

The goblin's face, which had been contorted with pain and fear, instantly became blank and lifeless, its eyes losing all their luster.

Ying Shaoyang communicated with him directly using his divine sense.

"Tell me your identity, and the world as you know it."

The numb fluctuations of his soul returned.

"I am... the Sun God King... the strongest being in this world..."

"The strongest expert?"

Ying Shaoyang chuckled and waved his hand, conjuring up the rudimentary map in the air.

“Point out the forces you know.”

The controlled "Sun God King" blankly stretched out his finger and circled locations one by one on the map, pointing out hundreds of goblin factions! At the same time, it also marked the main activity areas of the pigmen and murlocs with simple symbols.

Information indicates that the pig-men mostly live in nomadic tribes in the wasteland, frequently preying on goblins; while the fish-men often come ashore from the water to abduct goblins. Ying Shaoyang originally wanted this "Sun God King" to order his subjects to wage war in all directions, further weakening the goblins' overall strength.

But then he changed his mind and stopped.

"If we simply let billions of physically powerful goblins be consumed by internal strife, it may reduce their threat to the Great Qin, but it will not benefit my Great Qin world in the slightest..."

A bolder and more effective idea for utilizing "resources" began to take shape in his mind.

Ying Shaoyang stepped on the clouds and mist, and instead of returning directly, he flew towards the coastline marked on the simple map.

He needed to personally verify the strength of the other major race in this world—the merfolk.

Before even reaching the shore, deafening roars and sounds of fighting could be heard on the wind.

In the distance, the sea was surging with waves, as if the entire ocean was boiling! Countless dark green figures, like demons from the abyss, swarmed out from the churning waves, densely packed and overwhelming!

They possess humanoid bodies covered in slippery scales, but their heads are ferocious fish heads, their mouths filled with fine, sharp fangs. They wield harpoons and bone knives made of coral, bones, and rough metal, emitting strange "gurgling" roars, like a destructive tide, fearlessly rushing towards a goblin town built on the seashore!

The murloc army launched a bloody rampage! They seemed stronger and more agile than goblins, especially near the water. Millions of writhing, foul-smelling murloc predators clashed instantly with the hastily deployed goblin guards, unleashing a primal and brutal battle!

The battlefield instantly transformed into a flesh-and-blood grinder. The sounds of clashing weapons, tearing flesh, dying screams, and excited roars mingled together, creating a savage symphony of death. Green goblin blood and blue-green murloc blood splattered everywhere, turning the coastline into a bizarre and grotesque spectacle.

Ying Shaoyang coldly surveyed this brutal contest.

He noticed that, despite being at the same level of life form, goblins were significantly weaker than murlocs in individual combat, often requiring two or three to barely withstand the onslaught of a single murloc.

The goblin defenses were pushed back in disarray. The goblin corpses that fell on the battlefield were not even given a chance to be collected before they were devoured by the mermen who rushed up, or by other goblins who were in a frenzy of killing and eating! Limbs and severed arms disappeared quickly in the chaos, and the strong, nauseating stench of blood and gore permeated the sea breeze.

By the time goblin guards from a nearby major city arrived to reinforce them, the melee had already spread inland. Although the goblins had a numerical advantage, the murlocs' ferocious attacks and superior individual combat abilities forced them to retreat continuously, barely holding on with their rudimentary fortifications.

"Indeed, there is always something that can subdue another."

Ying Shaoyang understood.

He quietly used his methods to collect dozens of different merman samples and placed them into the stone gate space. At this point, he had collected all the living specimens of the three major races of this other world: goblins, pigmen, and mermen.

He stared at the hellish battlefield below, where the fighting raged on relentlessly, paying particular attention to the horrifying scene of the defeated soldiers' bodies being devoured in an instant.

There are no banners waving, no mourning or dignity for fallen soldiers; there is only the nakedest, most primitive competition for survival—the law of the jungle, where the victor devours everything!
"It is precisely this extreme environment that fosters bloodlust and ferocity, which can temper the iron will of our Qin soldiers to the greatest extent!"

Far from feeling disgusted, Ying Shaoyang became even more determined to use these races as "sharpening stones." Comfort is the greatest corrosive agent for an army.

His gaze fell upon the distant horizon where the sea met the sky. His divine sense detected that more and more powerful merfolk were gathering in the deep sea, their undercurrents stirring, foreshadowing an even larger and more terrifying invasion.

As the investigation deepened, and with the intelligence transmitted back through the preliminary study of the living samples via the Stone Gate space, Ying Shaoyang confirmed that the basic structure of this world was composed of these three wild and savage races that followed the law of the jungle.

Murlocs, as the dominant species of the ocean, periodically raid the land, much like harvesting crops regularly. Goblins, on the other hand, rely on their overwhelming numbers and relatively stable city-states to hold onto the land with difficulty.

The pigmen, on the other hand, play the role of nomadic predators in the vast wasteland, hunting each other with goblins and also clashing with murlocs.

After several days of tireless observation and calculation, he had already drawn a complete map of the main activity areas and spheres of influence of the three major races in his mind.

What terrified him most was that each group maintained an astonishingly high and illogical rate of reproduction.

This is almost like a race that exists solely for "consumption".

Once it was confirmed that while this world possessed formidable basic combat strength, it had not yet produced any top-tier powerhouses capable of threatening his own safety, Ying Shaoyang began planning his next move. "We must utilize these ferocious creatures to hone the Qin army's combat capabilities, but in the event of future world clashes, we must prevent them from growing too powerful. We need to curb their momentum in advance to preserve Qin's strength..."

The figure hovering in the clouds suddenly withdrew all its outward divine sense.

Ying Shaoyang sensed that the stone gate space had already collected enough samples, and there was no need to collect any more for the time being. At the same time, he keenly perceived the subtle changes in the fluctuations of the spiritual energy between the two worlds. With the authority of a world master and the profound mysteries of the stone gate, he predicted that the collision between the two worlds would occur in several decades!

"time is limited……"

Ying Shaoyang's eyes narrowed. The time he had left to prepare was already extremely tight.

The urgent tasks are twofold: first, to quickly enhance the overall foundation and military strength of the Qin world; and second, to find ways to slow down the evolution of this hostile world, at least to prevent them from forming a truly unified and powerful civilization before then.

Without further hesitation, he flicked his finger, and a stone gate the size of a speck of dust suddenly expanded, transforming into a humanoid light gate, large enough for one person to pass through, flowing with chaotic energy.

Ying Shaoyang stepped inside and disappeared.

After he entered, the portal rapidly contracted, turning back into dust and disappearing into this world filled with carnage and primal power.

……

The forbidden area of ​​the Xianyang Imperial Palace in the Qin Dynasty.

A hurried and authoritative decree, like an invisible ripple, instantly reached the minds of Grand Secretary Wang Jian, senior minister Yang Duanhe, Minister of War, and several core Imperial Guard generals!
Without the slightest hesitation, more than a dozen powerful figures, like arrows summoned by a divine command, soared into the sky from all directions of Xianyang City, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound, and sped toward the imperial palace at top speed!

However, just as they were about to reach the towering palace walls, an invisible and incredibly strong barrier quietly appeared, blocking them all from entering. A chill ran through them; they dared not force their way through, and could only suppress their anxiety, standing solemnly outside the palace gates. (End of Chapter)
