I start by marrying Yunxiao, who's in a vegetative state; I'm invincible in the primor

The furnace was ablaze with intense flames.

The main forces of Qi, Chu, and Yan were burned to ashes!

Yang Mei and Shi Chen fought valiantly, but seeing no hope of breaking through, they raised their longswords, gritting their teeth, "All our efforts are in vain! Alas! Li Yu is truly treacherous and cunning!"

"Qin's national strength has clearly increased several times over, yet they faked their death to deceive us and launch a sneak attack!"

"This is utterly unsportsmanlike!"

"If the Great Way is truly just, then send down divine thunder and strike Li Yu dead!"

The will of the Great Dao descended: 'Warfare is based on deception? Don't you understand?'

Stand at attention when you're about to be hit!

With raised eyebrows, Shichen committed suicide and returned to heaven!

boom!

The calamity energy between heaven and earth suddenly surged and rose, then quickly descended!

Then the rankings of the major roads were updated:

The leader of the Great Dao, Li Yu.

The second-place finisher on the main road raised his eyebrows.

The Great Path to Seeking Flowers, the Time.

Fourth, the ruler of the Yan state.

Fifth, Zhao Gongming, a Legalist.

Sixth, Confucianism, specifically the teachings of Confucius and Xuan.

Seventh, Red Release.

……

The sixteenth, King Hongjun of Yue.

……

The will of the Great Dao has manifested, updating the rankings to the latest level. And since the Great Dao is impartial, the published rankings allow one to see the specific deeds behind them.

While the powerful beings of the primordial world were shocked by Li Yu's victory, their gazes all turned to the sixteenth place!

Click to view details.

"Hahaha! Is Hongjun Daozu really Goujian?"

"Endure hardship and bide your time! Be brave enough to taste excrement!"

"How could the judgments of the Great Dao be false?"

"As expected of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun! He's incredibly patient!"

Hongjun was already gritting his teeth.

Such humiliation, and you only got sixteenth place?

The noodles are all gone now.

The expressions of the two demon gods, Yangmei and Shichen, softened slightly. "Even if we can't take the top spot, getting second or third place will be enough..."

In the west, Mount Sumeru.

Jieyin and Zhunti looked worried and distressed. "Although our ranking surpasses that of the Dao Ancestor, it's still not enough..."

"Not being in the top three... the reward will be greatly reduced."

All the powerful beings in the primordial world can see the updated rankings.

"Is this finalized?"

"Of course not, fellow Daoist, haven't you seen that the Great Conflict isn't over yet?"

"what?"

"Is it not over yet?"

"Doesn't that mean this isn't final? And it's still full of variables?"

"good!"

Beyond the primordial realm lies the Demon Palace.

Luo Hou sat quietly atop the twelfth-grade black lotus of annihilation, a strange smile playing on his lips. "The world is still unsettled, full of uncertainties!"

"Li Yu, oh Li Yu! You swept across the lands, but in the end, you only served to pave the way for my own success!"

"Heh heh! That damned Li Yu, he let my demonic path steal the fruits of victory!"

……

The Nine Provinces of the Human Race.

The fifth year of King Zheng of Qin!

The main forces of Qi, Chu, and Yan were almost completely wiped out, and the three rulers died in battle.

The Three Kingdoms were powerless to resist!

The mighty Qin army swept through and conquered the three kingdoms of Qi, Chu, and Yan!

The endless wars that plagued the nine provinces of humanity during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods have finally come to an end!

The King of Qin unified the six kingdoms and wiped out all the feudal lords; this was only the beginning!

Li Yu heavily relied on Legalists Han Fei and Li Si to establish laws and regulations within the country.

It's confirmed: "Standardize the written language and the gauge of carts!"

Standardize weights and measures!

Legalists were given great importance and opportunities.

As a result, the Legalist school's ranking soared, rising to fourth place in just two years!

Yang Mei and Shi Chen panicked completely as they watched the Legalists catch up. "This is bad!"

The Qin Dynasty ruled by law, and all people were equal before the law!

The law is not about harsh punishments, but about having laws to follow!

Qin has initially stabilized.

Zhuang Zhou secretly traveled to Xianyang to meet with King Li Yu of Qin.

Zhuang Zhou secretly presented the evidence that Taiqing Laozi, Jieyin, and Zhunti had gone to see Yangmei and Shichen to contact the Yan state to assassinate the King of Qin!

Li Yu laughed, "It's like a pillow being delivered when you're sleepy."

Zhuang Zhou laughed as well, "King of Qin, what do you think of my position as Grand Master?"

"A leader of Taoism!"

then!

The King of Qin issued an edict, "Dismiss all other schools of thought!" (Regarding those involved in the assassination attempt)

then!

In an instant, Taoism was defeated.

Taiqing Laozi's ranking plummeted by more than ten or twenty places.

Zhuangzi replaced him and became the leader of Taoism!

Taiqing Laozi was dumbfounded, his face turning ashen and extremely gloomy. "Damn it! That damned Li Yu!"

"Damn it!"

Laozi worked tirelessly through the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, two eras, all because he wanted to win.

From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, the school founded by Laozi of Taiqing has always been among the best. Now that the great calamity of contention is about to end, it's time to settle the rewards!

Devastated overnight? Plunging dozens of places!

How could Laozi, the Supreme Lord of Purity, not be angry?

This is called: Power!

What are money, fame, and wealth? They are worthless in the face of power!

"Buhao!" Jieyin and Zhunti watched as their Taiqing Daoist brother was instantly defeated, and a sense of foreboding suddenly arose in their hearts!

"We'll definitely be the next ones to suffer!"

Jieyin and Zhunti were drenched in sweat. "Go to the ancestral land of humanity immediately!"

The true forms of Jieyin and Zhunti personally went to the ancestral land of the human race.

"The First Emperor."

"It's so bitter! It's just too bitter!"

"You know, the West is poor, desolate and barren!"

"Please, please don't discourage the Red Release school!"

"If all else fails, what Hongjun and Goujian could do back then, we in the West can do too!"

Jieyin and Zhunti simply refused the noodles and begged desperately!

Li Yu completely ignored the two Western Saints.

Of course, it didn't really hurt the Red Release school!

It's not that we don't want to crack down!

Rather, it is the Way of the Public!

The Taoist school had Zhuang Zhou, who replaced Taiqing, causing its position to plummet.

As the Red Master school has developed to this point, Li Yu could physically eliminate the Red Master, but he could not erase the objective fact that it once existed, nor could he eliminate its contribution to the contention of a hundred schools of thought.

The Red Release school did not encounter any major upheavals.

The two Western Saints, believing they had moved Li Yu, were overjoyed. Before leaving, they specifically left five Bodhi seeds as a bribe...

The tenth year of King Zheng of Qin.

None of the schools of thought dared to act recklessly again; they could only continue to contribute to the human race and leave behind a rich legacy of diverse schools of thought!

The Great Qin Dynasty was peaceful and prosperous.

Han Fei and Li Si have convened a group of relevant officials to analyze and formulate a new system!

The enfeoffment system was created by the Xia Dynasty and continued into the Shang Dynasty. After Emperor Xin revived the Shang Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty still used the enfeoffment system!

Back then, the feudal system was an advanced system!

However, humanity evolves, and things change!

Outdated systems cannot adapt to new productive forces!

Productive forces determine relations of production; the economic base determines the superstructure!

New things will inevitably replace old things!

then!

The prefecture-county system emerged and replaced the feudal system!

The local officials in charge of prefectures and counties were appointed by the King of Qin and were responsible to him!

This is true unification! A centralized system of government!

However, the civil and military officials felt that the title of King Qin was not high enough!

The unification of the human race was achieved by Li Yu!

The unification of the dynasty today was also achieved by Li Yu!

His virtue surpassed that of the Three Sovereigns, and his achievements rivaled those of the Five Emperors!

then!

With the encouragement of civil and military officials, the title of King of Qin was abolished.

He ascended the throne and became emperor!

And because he was the first emperor, he became known as the First Emperor!

Li Yu was the first emperor of the human race! He was also the first emperor of the human race!

The Legalists thus gained great fame!

He leaped ahead of time! He ranked third in the imperial examination!

Shichen fainted in the depths of chaos!

King Zheng of Qin, thirteen years!

The Qin Dynasty completely unified the world!

The calamity energy between heaven and earth continued to dissipate!

The billions of living beings and powerful beings of the primordial world all felt that the ranking of the Great Dao was already a foregone conclusion!

There won't be any major changes!

In the depths of the netherworld.

Pingxin Hall.

Fengdu was so anxious he couldn't sleep at night. "The era of great strife is almost over, why hasn't the First Emperor made a move?"

"Has the First Emperor forgotten? Forgot his promise to Your Majesty...?"

"No, I have to go and remind them..."

Houtu sat quietly on the futon, her deep eyes gazing upon the nine provinces of humanity. "Fengdu, step back!"

"Your Majesty... the era of great strife is coming to an end..."

Houtu nodded, "I know!"

"The matter of reviving the Ancestral Witches is of paramount importance! He will never forget it! The time is not yet ripe!"

"Enough with the chit-chat!"

"Li Yu will not break his promise!"

"yes!"

The fifteenth year of King Zheng of Qin!

Li Yu sat high on the throne of the First Emperor and issued the first edict of the First Emperor:

"Gather all the weapons of the realm and concentrate them in Xianyang!"

"The spearhead is destroyed!"

When all the great beings of the primordial world saw this, they all believed that the First Emperor had collected weapons and ironware for the sake of the stability of the Qin Dynasty.

Only Houtu suddenly opened her eyes, her beautiful gaze fixed on Xianyang, on Li Yu, and 'It has begun…'

at the same time!

A middle-aged man in Xianyang established his own school of thought, declaring, "I have formed my own school, which I call 'Jie'!"
