I am already immortal, why should I ascend to become an immortal?

Chapter 231: Please, the Qin kings of all dynasties, their bodies and souls are gone

thump, thump, thump
The sounds of several hearts beating and moving could be heard from inside the black coffin.

"The inscription has been engraved. Please enter the coffin, Your Majesty!"

Old Lord Shang bowed his head towards Ying Lou and made a gesture of invitation.

A strong smell of decay mixed with wisps of white smoke wafted out of the black coffin.

"Father?"

Ying Lou looked back.

I saw a "corpse" slowly floating up in the coffin.

Plop, plop, plop.
It seemed as if there were dozens of hearts beating at different rhythms inside his body.

The face with closed eyes on the corpse's neck was naturally the late King Ying Chu who had died ten years ago.

"My king, please get into the coffin!"

Old Lord Shang couldn't wait any longer. As long as Ying Lou was put into the coffin, he could use the corpses of the Qin kings to pass on all the fortunes of the Qin Dynasty to his descendants. Then, from now on, this vast land would be ruled by his own lineage.

Thinking of this, Old Lord Shang asked Ying Sanqi to go forward and force Ying Lou into the coffin.

And just when Ying Lou and Ying Sanqi walked to the coffin.

Sudden.

Ying Chu suddenly opened his eyes, stretched out a big hand, and instantly pinched Ying Sanqi's little head.

There was only a puff sound.

Before anyone could react, Ying Sanqi's head had exploded into a pool of blood.

"Ying Chu, you...you are not dead?"

Seeing Ying Chu's empty eyes staring at him, Old Lord Shang panicked.

"Shang Gong, long time no see!"

His pale lips opened slightly, and as soon as Ying Chu finished speaking, he thrust his hands directly into his chest, and then used force to tear his chest in half.

And one by one, people wearing black dragon robes and pearl curtain crowns on their heads flew out from Ying Chu's chest.

"King Zhao, King De, King Xiao, and King Fei."

Through the portraits in the ancestral temple, Ying Lou quickly recognized that these people were the kings of the Qin Dynasty.

It’s just that some people are intact, just like they were when they were alive, while others are half decayed, and even the bones inside their bodies can be clearly seen.

The Qin kings of all dynasties were like lonely ghosts, floating in an orderly manner above the hall.

"Lord Shang, thank you for helping me complete the construction of this underground palace over the years, and for continuously sending the fate of the Qin Empire into this black coffin."

Ying Chu was barefoot. After patting Ying Lou on the shoulder, he walked towards Shang Gong step by step.

"Ying Chu, how could you still be alive?"

Old Lord Shang was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, and his weak legs were unable to support him to stand up again.

"The underground palace separates heaven and earth. Here, the Ying family can freely control the fate of the Qin Dynasty. Once Ying Lou is placed in the coffin, the fate of all the Qin kings of all generations will be gathered together, allowing the next Qin king to unify the Central Plains and become the common ruler of the world."

"Shang Gong, do you really think that I told you these words unconsciously after I got drunk?"

Ying Chu bent down and helped up Old Shang Gong who was lying on the ground, then helped him sit down in front of Ying Lou's tombstone.

"You, are you using me?"

Old Lord Shang never imagined that the true feelings revealed by Ying Chu after drinking that day would deceive him for decades.

"Lord Shang, among the Ying clan back then, only you were patient and greedy enough. No one else would have let the entire clan fake their death, and then enter the underground palace to live a life without sunlight, sending the fate of the country into the black coffin day and night."

"But if it weren't for your hard work day after day, I wouldn't have survived for more than ten years, and I would have turned into a rotten skeleton long ago."

After hearing Ying Chu's words, Old Lord Shang seemed to have aged dozens of years in an instant. His sunken eye sockets were filled with bloodshot, and he seemed as if all his strength had been drained away.

"Ying Chu, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Of course, it is to fulfill the aspirations of our great Qin kings, unify the Central Plains, and bring eternal peace!"

Say it.

Ying Chu waved his sleeves and looked up at the kings of Qin Dynasty in the air.

"Ying Chu, the unfilial descendant of the Ying family, asks for forgiveness from all the Qin kings."

Bowing and bending over, Ying Chu's voice spread throughout the entire underground palace.

Yang Ruihe and Shang Gong's lineage outside were all shocked.

"Get up, this is the great ambition of our Great Qin, and it is also for the people of the Central Plains. You don't need to apologize to us."

In mid-air, the first Qin King Ying Fei spoke.

But his half-rotten body didn't look like a living person at all.

"Chu, you are worthy of being my son. Among all the kings of the Qin Dynasty, you are the only one who has mastered the true use of national destiny!"

King Zhao Yingji said with relief.

"I am an unfilial descendant, Ying Chu. I have dug up the graves and bones of my ancestors who raised me. I bow three times to express my apology!"

Ying Chu knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the successive Qin kings to apologize.

"This is the current King of Qin, my son Ying Lou. In the future, he will surely fulfill the aspirations of his ancestors and unify the Central Plains to become the common ruler of the world."

After Ying Chu finished speaking, all the Qin kings looked at Ying Lou in unison.

Dozens of eyes were looking at him, making Ying Lou feel uncomfortable all over.

"Yes, yes, the national fortune around this kid is not even a fraction of what he has, even if all of us put together!"

King Zhao saw at a glance that the national fortune surrounding Ying Lou was rare in ancient times. Even himself, who was called the God of War, could not compare with it.

"Grandpa Prince Zhao, thank you for your praise!"

Feeling his father's glare, Ying Lou reacted instantly and immediately bowed and said, "Haha, I never thought that my Great Qin would have such a handsome descendant. Ji'er, you not only have a good son, but also a good grandson."

King Huiwen Ying Si also laughed.

"My dear ancestors, this coffin opening is very unexpected. Time is running out, and we only have one chance to succeed or fail."

Ying Chu had no intention of disturbing the successive Qin kings, but time was running out, so he had to do so.

"Ying Chu, let's start!"

As the first King of Qin Ying Fei spoke, the rest of the people fell silent.

Then the kings closed their eyes, and saw the majestic fortune of the Qin state gushing out from the bodies of the Qin kings of all generations like water from heaven.

"Please, all the Qin kings, your bodies~disappear~and~souls~disperse~"

This time, Ying Chu did not bend over, but straightened his back.

Although the voice sounds hoarse, it is as loud as a bell.

Every word seemed to carry a sense of solemnity.

"We will die with our broken bodies, even if our bodies and souls are scattered, to ensure a peaceful and prosperous world for future generations."

As the Qin kings finished speaking in unison, their bodies began to break apart.

Like that old wall, it is peeling off piece by piece.

After the body disappeared, the only remaining soul turned into green smoke and dissipated in the underground palace.

And at this time.

The national fortune of the Qin kings of all dynasties was bestowed upon Ying Chu, not like the black water dragon pattern of the past, but a dazzling glow of light.

"Lou'er, I know what you want to ask, I'll tell you everything now!"

As Ying Chu said this, several glowing cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of his body.

But he didn't seem to care. After reaching out to stop Ying Lou, he continued speaking.

"Although you were born with great national fortune, you were weak. According to Imperial Doctor Hua, you would not live more than ten years. So I donated national fortune to your future. However, this donation dissipated all my national fortune and even left me with a hidden illness."

"Lou'er, your father knows that you can unify the Central Plains without any donations in the future. But remember, after unification, you must protect the peace of the people of the world. The Central Plains must not be destroyed, and the disaster of the Central Plains must not happen again!"

After saying that, Ying Chu closed his eyes, opened and closed his mouth, and began to mutter softly.

But Ying Lou couldn't hear this sound clearly.

The fortune of the Qin Dynasty that depended on Ying Chu was scattered in the air and turned into mountains and rivers in the Central Plains.

For a moment.

Half of the mountains and rivers flew into Ying Lou's body, while the other half rushed out of the royal tomb and flew towards Hangu Pass.

After Ying Chu donated the country's fortune.

The entire underground palace returned to normal, the divided palaces gathered together again, the black coffin was closed, and floated into the silver river.

However, at this time, Ying Chu's body began to fester due to the backlash of the country's fortune, and streams of foul-smelling pus and blood continued to flow out of his body.

"Father, eat it and you will be fine!"

Ying Lou handed the pill made of cicada meat to Ying Chu, but Ying Chu just waved his hand lightly and dropped the pill to the ground.

"I have committed so many sins in my life that I don't deserve to continue living."

"Ya'er, Ya'er, is she okay?"

Ying Chu, barely breathing, lay in Ying Lou's arms. His eyes had rotted into blood again, so he could not see anything.

I could only helplessly stretch out my hands and touch the sky.

"Mother, mother, she is fine."

Ying Lou hesitated briefly, but still did not tell anyone about Zhao Ji.

"As long as you are well, Lou'er. The people I feel most sorry for in my life are Ya'er and you. Back then, after I learned about the Nine-sided Heavenly Palace, I knew that the Central Plains needed a king, a king with enough national luck to fight against them."

Ying Chu's tone was extremely sad, as if he knew in his heart that Ying Lou's words just now were a lie.

"Back then, I was possessed by a ghost and used countless methods to make Yaer suffer from the dark torture. But after you were born, I realized that Yaer didn't need to endure those hardships at all. You would also become the king of Central Plains."

"So no matter what Yaer does, don't blame her."

Ying Chu's voice became smaller and smaller, and nearly 80% of his body had rotted away.

"Lou'er, I cannot tell you about the national destiny I just donated. Between the people of the Central Plains and you, I... I choose the former."

"In my life, I dig up the graves of my ancestors and I am not worthy of being a king. I make my wife suffer and I am not worthy of being a husband. I make you suffer and I am not worthy of being a father. After I die, you don't have to build a tomb for me or set up a monument. Even if you abandon my body in the wilderness, I won't blame you."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Ying Chu's right hand, which was touching Ying Lou's cheek, fell down. The force of the fall was so great that the entire arm, including the skin and flesh, broke into two.

Ying Chu was sorry to his ancestors, his wife and children in his life, but he made too many sacrifices for the Qin State and the Central Plains.

But no one knows all this.

Even Ying Lou at this moment didn't know what his father had done.

More than ten years ago, Ying Chu faked his death and entered the underground palace of the Qin King's Mausoleum.

In the black coffin, he used his body to nourish the flesh and bones of successive Qin kings.

It has survived to this day thanks to the national fortune of Duke Shang's lineage.

But after he came out of the coffin, he ended up with his body decayed and died tragically.
