If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 1452 Descending to the Lower Realm
Chen Sheng asked in surprise, "What does it mean to truly travel to another world?"

Could it be that a Great Immortal is about to use their immense supernatural powers to recreate the universe of earth, water, wind, and fire, creating a vast world within chaos that perfectly replicates Pangu's world, allowing us to travel through it?

Fuqiu Gongdao: "That's roughly the idea, but it doesn't mean creating the vast world."

Together with twelve Golden Immortals, I created three Middle Thousand Worlds in the 'Lower Realm'.

The middle chiliocosm naturally evolved into 1.486 billion smaller chiliocosms.

Less than one in ten thousand were usable, and a total of 129,600 gave rise to civilization.

However, the small world you are about to travel through is not the world we created.

We do not have the time or the specialized skills to slowly cultivate the minor world into a 'shadow world' of the Pangu world.

The middle thousand worlds and the 1.4 billion small thousand worlds created by us are all entrusted to the Danhua God who has small grotto heavens.

In return, God Danhua has provided us with three hundred well-developed 'New Qin Worlds' for you to traverse.

The new Qin Dynasty world has more than 70% similarity to reality, making it a top-tier shadow world.

With the added manipulation of fate, the realism of the worlds you traverse absolutely surpasses Yu Fengxian's dream simulation.

However, the number of shadow worlds is limited. At most, you have three hundred opportunities to travel through them.

"Who is the Emperor Danhua? I know a Lady Danhua, who is the master of a minor grotto-heaven," Ying Xie asked, puzzled.

He was a descendant of the royal family of the former Zhao state, whose royal family belonged to the Ying clan and the Zhao lineage. The royal families of the Zhao and Qin states shared a common ancestor.

Therefore, he was also called "Zhao Xie".

The continental marshland where Xiaoyoudongtian is located is situated near the old Zhao state's Julu city, so Ying Xie is quite familiar with the master of Xiaoyoudongtian.

"Danhua God is the new Lord of this blessed land, formerly Lady Danhua."

Fuqiu Gong hesitated for a moment, then said, "Lady Danhua was killed by Yu Fengxian, and she also failed to frame Yu Fengxian in the 'Daluze Case'."

The Water Deity judged her for the crime of rebellion, stripped her of her immortal bones and powers, and cast her into the cycle of reincarnation.

I wonder where they've been reincarnated to.

"The 'Danhua God' is not a celestial official position in the Heavenly Court, nor is he some great emperor; he is merely the god of countless smaller worlds."

"What is the origin of the God Danhua? I've never heard of him before," Ying Xie asked again.

"His background is not insignificant either; he is the reincarnation of the Primordial Yang Qi. It is likely that Lady Danhua was destined to face this calamity, and the Primordial Yang Qi just happened to be born at this time."

He has been in charge of Xiaoyoudongtian for less than a year, so you are not very familiar with him. "Fuqiu Gongdao said.

"Strange, if he is the reincarnation of Xuan Yang Zheng Qi, why is he called Dan Hua Shangdi?" Ying Bu asked curiously.

Tian Rong gave him a disdainful glance out of the corner of his eye, "Of course, it's to inherit Madam Danhua's family business."

Xiaoyoudongtian manages many medium and small worlds on behalf of the Queen Mother.

'God of Danhua' has long been the highest faith in countless worlds.

"Oh, Mrs. Danhua is also 'God Danhua'!" The many peasants suddenly realized.

Some secrets are simply common knowledge to families with long histories.

Ordinary people, however, seem to be listening to a story from another world.

Fuqiu Gongdao said: "The affairs of the Danhua God are none of our business."

I told you about the cause and effect between Xiaoyoudongtian and Yufengxian only to make you understand that although Danhua Shangdi is not your ally, he is on your side and will do his best to help you.”

"Strange, Grand Tutor Yu killed Lady Danhua so that God Danhua could ascend to the throne. Why would he help us?" Ying Bu asked again.

“What you’re saying is even stranger. You’re able to inherit your father’s and your wife’s estate, so you want someone to kill them?” Zou Yao said.

Ying Bu was furious. "You brat, how dare you speak to this general like that?"

Zou Yao first shrank his neck, then felt he was too cowardly, straightened his back and said loudly, "Ying Bu, you mustn't be rude. I am the chieftain of Ouyue, and your father-in-law also calls me brother."

Regardless of status or seniority, they are no lower than you.

Besides, I was just giving you an example to show you why God helps us. What makes you speak such evil words?

"Alright, stop arguing. We're about to travel through time. Once you've witnessed your respective fates, you'll understand how shallow you've been," Fuqiu Gong said in a deep voice.

After calming the heroes down, Fuqiu Gong waved his sleeve, and the table in front of them, along with the tea, fruit, and other items on it, all turned into specks of light and flew out of the house.

"All those preparing to cross over sat cross-legged and entered a meditative state of silent contemplation."

This time, it wasn't that my entire soul entered the Lesser Thousand Worlds.

I will use my supernatural powers to extract a celestial soul from your souls. The celestial soul will then escape into the Lesser Heaven of the Middle Realm, and through the 'Immortal Transformation Pool' of the Lesser Heaven, it will descend into the Lesser Thousand Worlds of the Lower Realm as a 'God of the Upper Realm'.

"Similar to the gods and immortals of our Pangu world reincarnated into the human world," said Fuqiu Gongdao.

"This is real time travel!"

Many heroes hesitated, "If we were to live our lives completely again, would we forget what real life was like?"
Moreover, after traveling through hundreds of times, our minds are filled with memories of other worlds. How can we live normal lives after returning?

"Great Immortal, let's learn from Yu Fengxian and only travel through dreams! Although it's a bit illusory, it's safer!"

"Yes, look at those Qin dynasty princes. They're all alive and well, without any mental changes. If there's any change, it's just that they've become more mature and stable, making them harder to deal with. It's clear that dream-based time travel is the right path!"

Everyone spoke up, expressing their reluctance to travel to the Lesser Thousand Worlds.

Fuqiu Gongdao said, "Yu Fengxian is the Dream Erosion Demon Ancestor, hence her dream simulations are particularly realistic."

We could try to be as realistic as possible, but we wouldn't be as professional as her magical abilities.

Moreover, if we attempt a large-scale dream traversal, she will secretly erode the dream world with a curse, and you will all suffer.

Traveling through the small worlds is absolutely safe and controllable, and will not be affected by the slightest external interference.

As for safety, you don't need to worry.

Without any protection, the side effects of a Heavenly Soul reincarnated into a Lesser Thousand Worlds are more numerous than you can imagine.

We have now made two preparations.

First, Xiaoyoudongtian has a wealth of experience in managing the lower realms. Their ascension and descent techniques have become a distinct school of their own, forming a mature system that is not only powerful but also stable and error-free.

For example, after you are reincarnated, you will not wake up immediately, and you will not have to grow up from an infant.

When the special time comes, you will naturally awaken your innate wisdom.

Secondly, Yang Bosanren offered half a peach pit, which was the pit of a large flat peach with purple stripes and a yellow pit.

You can extract a few drops of the elixir and put them in the 'Soul Nourishing Water'. When you are reincarnated, soaking in the 'Soul Nourishing Water' will not only nourish your soul and cleanse your fatigue, but also repair your worn-out spiritual consciousness.

"The peach pit, half of it." The heroes of the land were at a loss for words and expressions.

"Half a peach pit is only used for medicine, not for you to eat," Fuqiu Gong said calmly.

The heroes of the land dared not utter any more nonsense, and all followed Fuqiu Gong's instructions to face the sky with their five hearts facing upwards, entering a state of silent contemplation and spiritual cultivation.

After hesitating for a long time, Liu Ji still weakly raised his hand and said, "Great Immortal, is it possible to avoid time travel?"

I only wish to find a wise ruler to assist me in achieving great things, and then I will receive a fiefdom in return.

I am an honest and simple man. As long as the leader is elected by the assembled heroes, I have no objections and will wholeheartedly obey orders.

“I have explained it very clearly, what concerns do you still have?” Fuqiu Gong frowned and said, “The purpose of sending you through time is not only to select the heirs, but also to let you truly experience the strategies and tactics of the Qin Dynasty. With knowledge and experience, you will be able to face the kings of the Ying clan with ease and confidence in reality.”

Liu Ji looked worried and said, "I am currently in Mangdang Mountain, without soldiers or cities."

I'm afraid I won't be able to offer much help to the league throughout the second phase.

Anyway, I'm a useless person, so whether I go or not makes no difference to the overall situation.

But for myself, I am genuinely afraid of reincarnation. I'm afraid of death; to be reincarnated is like dying once more.

"Liu Ji, you're such a useless piece of trash. It's not like you're really going to die, what are you afraid of?"

"You're quite renowned in Sishui, yet you're such a coward. When we rose up against Qin, weren't we all risking our lives? If you don't have that kind of resolve, what are you doing here?"

The heroes despised Liu Ji's timid and hesitant manner and spoke to him rudely.

Liu Ji's face flushed red, but he kept his head down and didn't reply.

Suddenly, his vision blurred, the surrounding scenery became hazy, and the noise disappeared from his sight.

Fuqiu Gong appeared before him, and there was no one else with them.

“I used the method of dividing the two realms to separate this space-time from the outside world.”

“Great Immortal, I really have no secret to hide. It’s just that I feel that reincarnating my Heavenly Soul into a Lesser Thousand Worlds is meaningless to me.”

"It's not worth paying such a high price for something meaningless," Liu Ji said sincerely.

—Damn it, you've got a dream-time travel plot, and I'm going to play along.

If my celestial soul were to travel through time, would "Old Man's Joy" still be able to continue to function during the cycle of reincarnation?

If "Old Man's Joy" is useless, then all the secrets in my heart will have been discovered by you.
If "Old Man's Joy" is useful, you will become even more curious and keep an eye on me to study it.

He harbored great resentment and even regretted traveling thousands of miles to the Dragon Palace to hold an anti-Qin alliance meeting.

What he wanted was support—support in terms of finances, troops, and information—to help him become the overlord of Sishui.

What are Fuqiu Gong and his group of quasi-Da Luo doing now? Make him obediently serve "Bo Chang".

In order to better obey the elder brother, they were sent to the Lesser Thousand Worlds to get used to being controlled by him, so that they could better cooperate with him and listen to him in reality in the future.

Paying such a huge price just to be a better slave, what's the point?

"How many people came to this anti-Qin alliance meeting? Did you count them? Everyone went except you."

"All the immortals will stare at you with suspicion, trying to figure out what secrets you hold," Fuqiu Gong asked.

"I'm just a little worried about the Heavenly Soul's journey," Liu Ji quickly said.

Fuqiu Gong said calmly, "Immortals only believe in their own feelings, not what you say."

Although you did not rebel, you are not unknown among the immortals.

If you help Wuyazi overcome his heavenly tribulation, he will teach you the Zhou Tian Star Array, which all immortals know.

We knew then that while you might be shrewd and cunning, you weren't so cowardly as to be afraid to take any risks.

Are you now unwilling to go to the Lesser Thousand Worlds because you're worried about exposing some secret?
Did Wu Yazi conceal your destiny, or did he pass on some secret technique or divine skill to you?

—Old Taoist Wuyazi, we're doomed! We're doomed! Fuqiuzi has discovered our secret!

Liu Ji inwardly groaned, his face showing confusion and wariness. "Great Immortal, what do you mean? Why did Daoist Wuyazi conceal my destiny and teach me? He did indeed pass on many secret techniques of the stars to us."

Fuqiu Gong was somewhat surprised, "You are quite good! Your demeanor is calm, and although your mind is in turmoil, you are firmly guarding your heart. Your expression shows no sign of me underestimating you or Wuyazi."

With this kind of temperament and shrewdness alone, you are far superior to Chen Sheng and Jing Ju.

It seems I'll have to dedicate more of my time and energy to you from now on.

Liu Ji was about to lose his composure, unsure whether to feel joy or fear.

"Great Immortal, do you wish to help my Dragon Court?"

Fuqiu Gongdao said, "I will not support the imperial court; if I were to support anyone, it would only be the true Son of Heaven."

"I also hope that I am the chosen one!" Liu Ji sighed.

Fuqiu Gong smiled and said, "If you behave well, I will help you up."

"Really? How will the sage help me?" Liu Ji was really excited.

Fuqiu Gong pondered for a moment and said, "If a Qi cultivator whose cultivation level is higher than that of a Golden Immortal uses evil methods to harm you or plot against you, I will help you resolve your worries."

Liu Ji waited for him to continue, but nothing came of it.

"Great Immortal, I need an army of 100,000 and several hundred immortal masters to conquer cities and territories in the Central Plains!"

Fuqiu Gongdao said, "I told you, I will only help you if you behave well. What do you mean by 'behave well'?"
You must rely on your own abilities to make great contributions in the second stage of destroying Qin, and be qualified to participate in the third stage of vying for the Central Plains.

"To destroy Qin and contend for the Central Plains, how can you succeed without an army of 100,000?"

"Great Immortal, if I had everything, why would I need your help?" Liu Ji said irritably.

Fuqiu Gongdao said: "Ensuring that your destiny is fully fulfilled is the greatest help I can give you."

As long as you possess talent no less than that of Qin Jia and Ying Bu, it won't be too difficult to dominate a region with an army of 100,000 and dozens of formidable cities.

Even if you become the leader of the anti-Qin alliance, and everyone listens to you, think about what we are doing now.

Even if Chen Sheng and Tian Rong acknowledge you as their elder brother, can you restore the fate that Yu Fengxian has distorted?

The one who helped you gain 100,000 troops is a Qi cultivator who accumulates merit to atone for past sins; it is I who will protect and safeguard your destiny.

Liu Ji seemed to be deep in thought.

"Of course, if you want any immortal to help you, you have to show your potential."

Fuqiu Gong said meaningfully, "You should not only not refuse to travel through time, but you should also cultivate desperately in the Lesser Thousand Worlds and use all the secret techniques that Wuyazi taught you without holding back."

Once it's been used publicly even once, it will be exposed sooner or later.

Even Yu Fengxian couldn't hide it, let alone you.

Since that's the case, why not showcase yourself and gain the immortals' approval and loyalty?

Liu Ji was truly wavering.

If Fuqiu Gong could prove that he was completely trustworthy, he would be willing to reveal all the secrets of "Old Man's Joy" right now.

Even with the old Taoist Wuyazi, he couldn't fully trust him, let alone this quasi-Daluo who used Qianlong as a pawn.

“Great Immortal, I have a question. It’s very likely that Grand Tutor Yu is watching us from nearby.”

You organize a group time travel event so we can all show off our talents.

As it turned out, Grand Tutor Yu also witnessed the entire process of our journey, or perhaps he simply followed us to the Lesser Thousand Worlds.

Doesn't she know all about our potential, our personalities, and our fighting styles?

She then summoned the kings of the Ying clan again, and in her dream, she simulated the real heroes of the land.

How can we possibly fight this battle?
