After millions of years in the library, I became an Immortal Emperor.

"I ask you all, am I still the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Yu rose and addressed the assembled officials in the Golden Palace.

The weakest among them are all at the Creation Realm, and there are also a few experts at the Celestial Realm. At this moment, they all chose to remain silent.

"I also want to ask you all: are the people of Qin human? Qin is currently being ravaged by the sea creatures; should we save them?"

"I am not only the emperor of a country, but also a human being."

His words shocked everyone, as if they were meeting this emperor of the Tang Dynasty for the first time.

None of them noticed that this Emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty had already reached the sixth level of the Divine Platform Realm. Looking across the entire Great Tang Dynasty, only the one from the Imperial Academy and the woman from the Northern Border could compare to him.

"I intend to personally lead an expedition against the Qin Dynasty. Does anyone have any objections?"

He asked again, and the wisp of the Holy Body's original essence moved spontaneously, surrounding him, giving him a truly holy aura.

"We will obey Your Majesty's command!"

A voice rang out, followed by a chorus of kneeling and worship.

The Qin envoys were so excited that they kowtowed to the ground.

It is said that the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty was just a figurehead, and that the real decision-makers of the Tang Dynasty were the four powerful clans. Now it seems that this was just a rumor.

They were all of average age, far inferior to the princes of the Great Qin.

Regardless of cultivation level or anything else.

Just a few days later, a large army to support the Qin Dynasty and conquer the sea tribes arrived, with millions of troops arrayed outside Shengjing City.

Gongsun Liang, who had been feigning illness, also arrived. He stood before the army, clad in red armor, and bowed deeply to the Tang emperor, whom he had once disregarded.

"The Emperor was right; you are indeed worthy of the throne of the Tang Dynasty."

He only said that.

Li Yu simply nodded to him, then looked at the millions of human soldiers, his gaze slightly narrowed.

"Soldiers, follow me into Qin and slaughter the sea creatures!"

A simple sentence, yet it resonated with countless people.

"Enter Qin and slaughter the sea creatures!"

"Enter Qin and slaughter the sea creatures!"

……

The sound shook the heavens. Although it was not yet daylight, everyone in Shengjing City had already woken up. They all looked out of the city with solemn expressions.

"They've left again."

Inside the Cloud Tower, the people in each meditation room looked out of the city before falling back into their ascetic practices.

No one could have imagined that these people, once neglected by their families, would one day become towering trees and pillars of the human race.

"This is the spirit that our human race should have."

Beside Qin Ge, King Gu Yi of Beiliang spoke, then looked at the woman in front of him, his eyes filled with hope.

"Humanity has a future."

Inside the library, Lin Fan stretched and sat up. He looked out of Shengjing City and smiled slightly.

"That's quite a grand display."

"They're gone, it's time for me to go too."

Lin Fan said, then looked at the large banyan tree behind him.

"I'm leaving now. This place is in your hands from now on; you're the elder here."

The banyan tree bent its trunk slightly, as if bowing to Lin Fan, and then a voice came from the banyan tree.

"Yes, Master."

The banyan tree has become sentient, and thanks to Lin Fan's special nurturing, its strength has reached an unbelievable level.

Lin Fan developed a Dao of Life on the banyan tree and gave it the life force left behind by the barbarian saint after his death.

The banyan tree should now be considered a celestial realm.

There has always been a method of visualization in the world, in which one visualizes an supreme being, thereby sensing the traces of the Tao emanating from that being, and thus attaining enlightenment.

Everyone else visualizes a painting or something else, but the big banyan tree visualizes a real person.

Lin Fan also gave him a name: Bodhi!

Lin Fan left, taking only a few books with him. Dressed in simple cloth robes, he looked like a scholar as he departed from Shengjing City.

Of course, he also checked on Qin Ge before leaving, and Lin Fan did not disturb Qin Ge at the crucial moment of advancing to the Divine Power Realm.

Gu Yi saw him.

"Who is it?"

Seeing Lin Fan approach Qin Ge, he became extremely nervous. His aura of slaying the Dao surged, and he flew directly towards Lin Fan.

Lin Fan smiled slightly, then turned and left.

The distance of a few feet felt like the ends of the earth; he couldn't touch Lin Fan no matter what he did, and could only stare blankly as Lin Fan left.

After a long while, he was filled with shock.

"saint!"

He actually saw a human saint.

It wasn't an illusion, but a real thing that appeared before his eyes.

He then looked at Qin Ge. The surging Dao intent on Qin Ge's body had been calmed down after Lin Fan left, and he had already transitioned to the Divine Power Realm.

The youngest person to reach the Divine Power Realm in the past ten thousand years has been born in the Nine Provinces of the Human Race.

He was deeply moved and respectfully bowed in the direction where Lin Fan had left.

"Great Qin!"

In just a few steps, Lin Fan arrived in the territory of the Great Qin Dynasty, a distance spanning thousands of miles.

He did not go to the capital of Qin immediately, nor did he seek out the sea tribe. Instead, he came to an ordinary mountain.

Quietly watching a woodcutter chopping wood on the mountain.

The woodcutter was young, a man in his early twenties. At an age when he should be traveling all over the country, he remained steadfastly chopping wood on this mountain.

After watching for a long time, Lin Fan revealed his figure.

"At such a young age, instead of guarding your home and country, you're wasting your time on this mountain. This is not something someone of your status should be doing."

Lin Fan said.

His simple words made the young woodcutter look up at him.

On the mountain, a few dozen meters away from him, a young scholar was watching him with a smile, looking quite interested.

"Aren't you the same? At your age, instead of defending your country and fighting against foreign invaders, you're here making fun of an ordinary person like me."

He said that although he was briefly shocked when he saw Lin Fan, he quickly calmed down.

It was probably some scion of a powerful family in Qin who came specifically to mock him. The former genius had been reduced to a cripple and turned into a woodcutter; it all seemed like a joke.

"Hehe, I'm no ordinary scholar."

Lin Fan said.

The woodcutter ignored him, busying himself with tidying up the firewood, then carrying it down the mountain. Though he limped, every step he took was steady.

"What's so special about a scholar? He's just read a few more books and knows a few more principles. What use is he to the Qin Dynasty or to humanity?"

He said that although he seemed indifferent, he felt resentful inside.

Lin Fan followed him, walking slowly.

"It's different. When I read books, I can see the Celestial Realm, the Dao-Slaying Realm, and even the Saint Realm."

"Maybe one day we'll see the Emperor Realm."

Lin Fan said, and the young woodcutter glanced at him, as if asking Lin Fan, "Do you think I'm a fool?"

Lin Fan smiled.

Just as the young woodcutter was about to return to his lodging, Lin Fan suddenly said something.

"Do you want to cultivate?"

The young woodcutter paused, staggered, and was about to say something when a voice came from the hut.

"Is Xiao Zheng back?"

Upon hearing this, he quickly put down the firewood and went inside.

Lin Fan stood outside the small house, quietly watching his back.

He wanted the day when humanity would flourish everywhere, and here, the Qin Dynasty, the strongest human dynasty, should also plant a seed.
