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

Chapter 685 Spiritual Rain Nourishes the Rise of the Great Qin!

Yue Fei, who was also standing on the city wall, saw all of this.

He understood the soldiers' thoughts, because back in Qin capital, the military had distributed small amounts of goblin flesh and blood, which had indeed had a significant effect on improving the soldiers' strength.

However, as a general, he had to obey military orders, and no one was allowed to leave the city walls without permission.

After pondering for a moment, Yue Fei turned around and strode towards the direction where Wang Jian, the Grand Secretary of the Military Council, was.

When he arrived, he found that many generals had already gathered there, all clearly there for the same purpose.

Looking at the expectant faces of these generals, Wang Jian understood perfectly.

He was well aware of the allure of goblin flesh and blood to his soldiers. He was also acutely aware of the immense logistical pressure on the Qin Dynasty. To support this unprecedented war, tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, of laborers had been mobilized to transport supplies day and night, pushing the entire Qin Dynasty to its limits!

Moreover, no one knows how long this war against trillions of monsters will last, making logistical support crucial.

If we could use local resources, it would not only greatly alleviate logistical pressure, but also rapidly enhance the strength of the army... This was something he wanted to say, but he was hesitant to bring it up due to his position.

Now that all the generals have arrived, it's the perfect time to go with the flow.

Wang Jian's face betrayed no emotion, he simply said in a deep voice.

"His Majesty has ordered the elimination of all invading enemies. As for how to eliminate them and what to seize... you may decide for yourselves, but remember, do not lose sight of the bigger picture and cause chaos!"

Upon hearing this, the generals were first stunned, then their faces lit up with wild joy! Commander Wang had... tacitly approved!

"We understand! Thank you, Commander!"

The generals responded in unison, and then turned around impatiently, leaping down from the high city wall like roc spreading its wings!

"kill!"

With a fierce shout, these generals pounced on the goblins on the wasteland like wolves and tigers, thrusting their weapons without mercy, accurately killing those level one goblins, and then quickly throwing their corpses, along with their rough but solid weapons, onto the city wall!
With the generals taking the lead, the soldiers on the city wall were even more excited!
The Embroidered Uniform Guards, the Eastern Depot's inner guards, the fox demons, and the Taoist priests were taken aback at first, but then they understood.

Although they weren't as desperate for energy as the soldiers, they didn't mind doing so casually. For a time, the attacks remained fierce, but after killing the goblins, they would also throw their corpses and weapons onto the city walls.

Soon, the city walls were piled high with the corpses of over a million level-one life goblins! The dense blood energy almost turned into a red mist that permeated the city walls!
"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

Almost the instant the corpse fell, the aura of breakthrough on the city wall exploded out like firecrackers!
Countless soldiers rushed toward the corpses, some tearing and devouring the flesh, others circulating their techniques to absorb the dissipated blood and energy, and still others picking up the goblins' heavy weapons and attempting to fuse them with their own blood-forged weapons!
With this immense energy flowing in, the number of Level 1 Life Soldiers on the city wall began to increase dramatically, quickly gaining an absolute advantage! The entire city wall seemed to be enveloped by a surging, upward-moving aura of life.

The sky gradually darkened without anyone noticing.

In the wilderness, the experts from the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Eastern Depot saw that a safe area had been cleared near the city wall and that it was getting late, so they stopped fighting and used their movement techniques to return to the city wall like wisps of smoke.

Despite the relentless onslaught of countless goblins, the massive starlight wall remained unmoved, radiating a cold and solid light, as if it had existed since time immemorial.

Night fell completely.

However, the commotion in the wasteland did not stop. Instead, it became increasingly chaotic and intense due to the poor visibility and the goblins continuing to pour out of the stone gate behind them!
The goblins' screams and roars carried further and more chillingly through the night. Below, the hungry goblins instinctively grabbed the corpses of their own kind, tearing and devouring them frantically; the sound of chewing bones was particularly eerie in the silent night.

Wang Jian stood atop the wall, gazing at the green tide surging in the darkness below, like a ghostly realm. His face was expressionless, only radiating a cold, chilling aura.

He slowly raised his hand, and a dazzling beam of light shot into the sky from his hand, like a signal.

The next moment, behind the city wall, the soldiers who were already prepared used catapults or other means to hurl countless huge wooden barrels, as well as mountains of coal and firewood, towards the area in front of the city wall where the goblins were most concentrated!
Immediately afterwards, countless ignited rockets, like a meteor shower, streaked across the dark night sky and fell precisely at the pile of ignition materials!

"boom--!!!"

A towering fire erupted instantly! The dry firewood and coal ignited upon contact with the flames, while the barrels contained specially prepared kerosene, which burst into even more intense flames upon contact with the fire and spread rapidly!
The firelight illuminated half the sky, clearly revealing the terrified, contorted faces of countless goblins. The scorching flames mercilessly devoured their bodies, the acrid smell of burning fur mingling with the stench of charred flesh filling the air. The goblins' agonizing screams reached their peak, echoing across the wasteland like a sonata from hell!

The fire raged through the goblin horde, like wrathful fire dragons, leaving nothing but scorched earth in its wake!

The goblins below screamed in agony, their forms unrecognizable. Many goblins directly engulfed in flames went completely mad in extreme pain. They could no longer distinguish friend from foe, their eyes bloodshot as they frantically attacked any of their kind they could reach with their burning bodies, spreading the flames and death even further.

The entire wasteland seemed to have transformed into a burning hell, with green figures rolling, howling, and tearing at each other in the sea of ​​fire.

Standing atop the wall, Wang Jian gazed at the tragic yet effective scene below. A cold smile finally crept across his lips, which had been taut for days.

This great battle, which concerned the fate of the nation and whose numbers were so vastly unequal that it was despairing, weighed heavily on his shoulders. During the day, he relied on the bloody battles of his soldiers, the attacks of his experts, and even the Emperor's divine powers to inflict countless casualties, but the casualties and pressure on his own side were equally enormous.

Now, this fire that broke out at night not only killed a large number of enemy soldiers, but also triggered large-scale infighting among them, which finally made his burden a little lighter.

Qi Jiguang, standing to the side, looked at the sea of ​​fire with admiration for Wang Jian and praised him sincerely.

"Commander Wang's plan is excellent! This fire will create chaos among the enemy, and the casualties will be no less than those of a bloody battle during the day!"

Han Xin gazed intently at the seemingly endless goblin horde and said in a deep voice.

"His Majesty once said that the beings in this world have no written language, their civilization has been cut off, and they only know how to engage in barbaric slaughter."

Fighting such an opponent may not be a matter of a day or two; it could last for years, even decades… Commander Wang, I believe we should order the rear to expedite the preparation and supply of oil! Using this to incite the goblins to bombard their camp and self-destruct is truly an excellent strategy to deal with their massive army!”

Wang Jian nodded slowly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"General Han's words are exactly what I was thinking. Fire attack is indeed the best strategy to deal with such a dense and chaotic enemy."

But then he frowned slightly, revealing a hint of worry.

"However, refining and purifying kerosene is quite troublesome. The Imperial Treasury's reserves are already limited, and after a night of consumption, the subsequent supply... may be difficult." Just as the generals were discussing, the chaos and slaughter below intensified. The strong, acrid smell of blood almost overpowered the smell of the flames themselves, and the dying screams and frenzied roars of goblins echoed throughout the night, sending chills down one's spine.

At the highest point of the city wall, Ying Shaoyang stood quietly, feeling the scene below that resembled a battlefield.

He clearly realized that in the face of such a terrifying numerical advantage, any ingenious tactics seemed pale in comparison, and the goblins were practically "invincible".

Fortunately, they were unable to break through this starlight wall.

As long as the city walls stand, the Qin Dynasty will always maintain the initiative on the battlefield, and can completely entrust the specific battles to the generals below for training and command.

That night, with the deaths of countless goblins, their life force and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth scattered wildly, greedily absorbed by the Qin soldiers on the city walls.

Overnight, the number of soldiers who broke through to the first level of life increased dramatically again, and those who had already broken through also became more stable and solid in their realm, with their aura becoming more condensed.

However, Ying Shaoyang's brows furrowed slightly.

He keenly sensed that the martial arts commonly practiced in the Qin army seemed to have a limit. After most soldiers broke through to the first level of life, they seemed to have reached their limit, lacking subsequent techniques, and their strength improvement became extremely slow, or even stagnant.

"A break in the cultivation technique..."

Ying Shaoyang thought to himself.

Two viable cultivation systems flashed through his mind.

Firstly, there is the current mainstream method of cultivating the primordial spirit. With the extremely rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth generated by the blood and qi of goblins, the Great Qin Dynasty has the potential to cultivate an astonishing number of primordial spirit cultivators in a short period of time, perhaps reaching tens of millions! This would be a revolutionary force.

Secondly, there is the martial arts cultivation system from the Yangshen world. If one can break through to the Human Immortal realm, not only will their lifespan increase significantly, but their strength will also undergo a qualitative leap.

"The primordial spirit system has a clear path and is traceable. With the current 'fertile' cultivation environment, promoting it will yield the greatest benefits."

Ying Shaoyang pondered.

"But... most of the soldiers are of mediocre talent, and they probably won't achieve much on the path of the primordial spirit, which emphasizes comprehension and aptitude."

Even though he possessed a Foundation Establishment method that could slightly improve his aptitude, for the vast number of ordinary soldiers, the aptitude bottleneck was still an insurmountable chasm.

"Yang Shen Martial Arts does not value aptitude, but it has extremely high requirements for comprehension, temperament, and even fighting will. It cannot be achieved without great perseverance and wisdom... It is equally unattainable for ordinary soldiers."

Ying Shaoyang fell into deep thought, weighing the pros and cons of the two systems.

Seeing that His Majesty remained silent for a long time, with a thoughtful look on his face, Qu Ruo asked softly.

"Your Majesty, are you worried about the soldiers' future training path?"

Ying Shaoyang snapped out of his daze, glanced at Qu Ruo, and then remembered that he might want to hear the opinions of those around him. So he briefly explained the advantages and disadvantages of the two systems.

After listening carefully, Qu Ruo pondered for a moment and then spoke softly.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the system of cultivating the primordial spirit should be introduced into the army."

Seeing the questioning look in Ying Shaoyang's eyes, she continued to explain.

"Once the Yang Shen martial arts master breaks through to the Human Immortal realm, his physical body becomes a saint, his supernatural powers are naturally formed, and his temperament is transcendent. I'm afraid... he will find it difficult to be as loyal to the court and obey orders as an ordinary soldier."

The growth of the primordial spirit system is inseparable from spiritual energy, resources, and cultivation techniques, all of which can be controlled by the imperial court and are easily manipulated. Furthermore, our Great Qin is currently in dire need of manpower, and the priority should be to rapidly improve our overall strength.”

Upon hearing this, a look of understanding flashed in Ying Shaoyang's eyes. Qu Ruo's analysis had just enlightened him.

As an emperor, he needs a powerful and obedient army, not a group of individual strongmen who might escape his control.

"good."

Ying Shaoyang nodded slowly, having already made up his mind.

Within a few days, a simplified version of the "Basic Yuan Shen Visualization Method" by Ying Shaoyang, which was more suitable for popularization in the army, began to quietly spread among the Qin army.

This technique directly targets the Purple Mansion, condensing the divine soul, and is the natural bridge to stepping into the primordial spirit path after breaking through to the first level of life.

Almost simultaneously with obtaining the cultivation technique, countless soldiers on the city walls, who had already reached the peak of first-level life but were struggling to find a way forward, eagerly began to try it! They already had a solid foundation and vigorous blood and energy, and on this battlefield where spiritual energy was abundant and the killing aura tempered their will, their success rate in opening up their Purple Mansion and condensing their Primordial Spirit was surprisingly high!
"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

……

Faint yet clear fluctuations of primordial spirit, like sparks igniting a prairie fire, lit up the sea of ​​consciousness between the brows of millions of Qin soldiers! Although most were only the most basic Yin spirits, or even just the embryonic form of primordial spirit, the changes they brought about were enormous!
Their senses became more acute, their control over their own power more refined, and their strength generally increased by 10% to 20%! As a result, the overall strength of the Qin army increased dramatically!

While the Qin soldiers were busy consolidating their new territory, in the distant wasteland, the sounds of goblins fighting were still fierce, and the thick stench of blood, like a tangible wave, kept crashing against the cold Starlight City Wall.

Each time the soldiers relied on these sturdy walls to repel the goblin attacks, or watched the monsters below slaughter each other, the survivors would unconsciously bow deeply to the walls with utmost piety and gratitude.

Ying Shaoyang could clearly sense that as the beliefs of countless soldiers converged and the energy dissipated from the battlefield and the blood of goblins continued to be absorbed, the city wall he had personally forged was undergoing a mysterious transformation.

It is rapidly shedding the imprints of other world materials it originally contained, becoming more closely connected with the Qin world, and its aura is becoming increasingly profound and vast, bearing the pure mark of the Qin Dynasty.

As he witnessed the growth of the city walls and the rapid advancements the Qin world had made during this "catastrophe," a playful smile appeared on Ying Shaoyang's lips for the first time.

"The goblin world is pouring into Qin with such 'enthusiasm,' it's as if they've come specifically to bring me... to this Qin world, to offer them benefits." (End of Chapter)
