A terrifying pressure, enough to change the color of the heavens and earth and cause stars to fall, instantly filled the entire space, as if an ancient demon god that had been sleeping for billions of years had finally awakened!
Zi Nu and Nong Yu almost suffocated under this oppressive force, and even Xiao Li felt a pang of fear.
However, just as this world-destroying aura was about to erupt out of control, Qin Chuan's figure appeared as if teleported to the space between the God of War's eyebrows.
He reached out and gently pressed his hand against the cold metal.
A simple word, yet it contains an unparalleled will, as if words were law.
An unbelievable scene has unfolded!
The colossal bronze demon god, towering between heaven and earth, rapidly contracted its light, its massive body rippling and twisting like water before transforming into a dark golden stream of light that instantly disappeared into Qin Chuan's brow!
The underground cavern suddenly became empty and silent, leaving only the lingering oppressive aura and the dumbfounded Zi Nu and Nong Yu.
Qin Chuan hovered in mid-air and slowly opened his eyes.
Deep within his consciousness, the towering war demon god stood silently like the most loyal guardian, perfectly in sync with his will and at his command.
He felt the immense power within his sea of consciousness, a power capable of changing the world, and a smile of complete control curved his lips.
"Very good." Qin Chuan's voice echoed in the empty underground world, carrying an overbearing and domineering aura. "With this demon god in hand, from now on there will be no place in the world that cannot be trampled!"
The seal of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was broken, the Chi You Sword bowed its head, the Dragon Soul recognized its master, and the Demon God of War was revived.
The sharpest claws of the Qin Empire have been forged.
A storm that will sweep across the world is quietly brewing in this ancient country deep in the desert.
Chapter 83 The Truth About the Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon
The desert sandstorms were left far behind, and the majestic outline of Xianyang gradually became clear in the field of vision.
The enormous bronze Vermilion Bird landed smoothly on the special landing pad deep inside the Qin King's Palace, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Qin Chuan, Zi Nu, Nong Yu, and Xiao Li descended from the Vermilion Bird in turn.
The little Pixiu still nestled affectionately on Xiao Li's shoulder, curiously observing the magnificent palace complex that was so different from the desert.
Zi Nu stretched lazily, while Nong Yu habitually observed the surrounding guards and defenses.
Xiao Li's gaze remained clear, but a hint of scrutiny had crept into it as she silently fulfilled her duty as a "supervisor."
Upon returning to Zhangtai Palace, he dismissed his attendants, leaving only his trusted confidants.
The hall was brightly lit by candlelight, illuminating Qin Chuan's deep eyes.
"Miss Li," Qin Chuan's voice broke the silence, "Where exactly is the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden?"
This was a question that had lingered in his mind for a long time: the goddess who created the world and sealed away the demon god.
"Lady Xuan Nu, you reside in a grander, more fundamental world. This world beneath our feet cannot bear the weight of your true existence."
Xiao Li gently stroked the little Pixiu's fur, her voice ethereal and calm:
"The tears of the goddess are the embodiment of her mercy and will left in this world. And I am the manifestation of this will, born to protect the balance of this world."
Qin Chuan nodded slightly, which matched some of his guesses.
He then posed the ultimate mystery that had stirred up the seven kingdoms for centuries:
"Then, what are the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon?"
Xiao Li's expression turned serious: "The Azure Dragon Seven Constellations are not the key to unlocking any treasure; they are themselves a huge seal."
Her clear gaze seemed to pierce through the palace dome, looking into the endless void. "It seals the passage connecting this world with the world where the Mystic Maiden resides."
"In that world, not only gods exist, but also powerful demons. The fallen star that brought floods and ferocious beasts and was eventually forged into the Chi You Sword was the source of the disaster that accidentally fell from that world to this place."
Xiao Li's voice carried a hint of lingering fear:
"To prevent similar calamities from happening again, after quelling the chaos of Chi You, Lady Xuan Nu poured her divine power into setting up the 'Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon' seal, completely locking the passage between the two worlds and isolating it from the intrusion of that world."
"The key to unlocking this seal was kept by the Yellow Emperor, who led mankind to victory over Chiyou. After the Yellow Emperor's death, the secret of the key was passed down as a top secret among mankind's leaders from generation to generation. Until the Warring States period, when seven powerful states rose up."
Xiao Li paused for a moment, then continued:
"The secret of this key, along with the responsibility of guarding it, has been divided into seven parts, each sealed in a specially made treasure box and kept by the royal families of seven countries. Only members of the royal bloodline of each country can open the corresponding treasure box. Only by collecting the clues in all seven treasure boxes can the key be found and the seal broken."
Qin Chuan stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes sharp as knives, and countless clues instantly connected.
The Yin-Yang School's obsession with the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon, and the unfathomable ambition of Donghuang Taiyi...
"Donghuang Taiyi..."
Qin Chuan slowly uttered the name, a cold smile curving his lips:
"What he seeks is not power in this world, but the other side of the passage, the world belonging to gods and demons. He longs to break the seal, to pursue a more fundamental and powerful force, and even aspires to become a god!"
Xiao Li nodded: "Yes. If he succeeds, what he opens will not be a smooth path to the realm of gods, but may even unleash a calamity that will destroy this realm. The seal of the Mystic Maiden is for protection."
Qin Chuan's gaze turned southwest, as if piercing through thousands of mountains and rivers:
Is the sealed passage located in Mount Shu?
"To be precise."
Xiao Li's gaze also turned in the same direction, carrying a hint of awe for the ancient sacred site:
"It is deep within the Shu Mountains, within the ancient divine tree that connects heaven and earth and supports the world—the Fusang Divine Tree. The power of the divine tree is the core pillar of the seal."
"The Fusang Divine Tree..."
Qin Chuan repeated in a low voice, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.
Thus, the greatest secret in the world of Qin's Moon—the truth about the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon—was finally fully revealed to him.
It is not some ethereal legendary treasure, but a shackle concerning the survival of the entire world, locking a portal to an otherworld full of temptation and destruction.
Several days later, deep within the Xianyang Palace, a massive underground workshop, heavily guarded and riddled with traps, was put into operation.
This place brings together the empire's most skilled craftsmen and resources.
In the heart of the workshop, the temperature was astonishing, and a massive furnace burned day and night.
Qin Chuan appeared on the high platform in the center of the workshop.
With a slight thought, a stream of dark golden light shot out from between his brows and instantly expanded!
"Boom—!"
The colossal, ferocious bronze body of the towering, earth-shattering War Demon God, exuding a primordial aura, crashed down!
It stood silently in the huge workshop, occupying almost all the space. The terrifying pressure made even the craftsmen below, who were mentally prepared, turn pale instantly, their legs went weak, and they almost knelt down.
"Your Majesty is mighty!"
Gongshu Chou's voice trembled with excitement, and his signature mechanical hands shook slightly as he gazed greedily and fanatically at this ancient creation, as if on a pilgrimage.
Master Ban was also speechless with shock, his white beard twitching, his eyes filled with the ultimate amazement and desire to explore the ancient craftsmanship.
"This is the true form of the War Demon God." Qin Chuan's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears. "I placed it here not to show its power, but for you to study and research."
His gaze swept over the extremely excited Gongshu Chou and the Master Ban who was trying to calm himself down: "Master Gongshu, Master Ban."
"Your Majesty, we are here!" The two men bowed immediately.
"I command you two to set aside your differences and cooperate fully!"
Qin Chuan's voice carried an ironclad rule:
"Based on the War God, taking its structure and imitating its spirit, we will forge a colossal war machine for our Great Qin Dynasty that can sweep away all enemies! We do not seek to make it contain the power of stars like the original, but we seek that it be indestructible, strong enough to uproot mountains, and enough to crush all stubborn enemies in the world!"
"Your Majesty, we obey! We will certainly not fail in your trust!"
Gongshu Chou's voice was excited, his eyes gleaming with the light of his domineering mechanical arts about to reach their peak. Master Ban took a deep breath and also bowed solemnly:
"The Mohist mechanical arts are ready to serve the empire and forge divine weapons together!"
These two old rivals, who had fought for most of their lives, temporarily set aside their past grievances in the face of a creation that transcends time and Qin Chuan's will.
Qin Chuan looked at Xiao Li beside him:
"Miss Li, during the imitation process, if there are any rune arrays involving core energy or that may cause mutations, please use the power of the Goddess's Tears to suppress or purify them to ensure safety."
Xiao Li nodded slightly:
"It is my duty, and I will do my best."
The little Pixiu on her shoulder also let out a "woo-mi" sound, seemingly in support.
As Qin Chuan left, a tremendous amount of energy erupted within the Tiangong Workshop.
Gongshu Chou's domineering mechanical arts philosophy and Master Ban's Mohist principles of non-aggression and universal love began to clash fiercely and then merge.
Countless blueprints are being drawn, enormous parts are being cast, and mysterious patterns are being attempted to be engraved.
The cold, massive body of the War God became the ultimate template for the upgrading and replacement of the Empire's war machines.
Although the imitation does not have the core of the fallen star, it cannot invoke the great power of heaven and earth.
However, its enormous size, indestructible bronze body, and powerful destructive mechanisms designed by Gongshu Chou and Master Ban based on the essence of the original, such as giant fist bombardment, heavy crossbow volleys, and flame jets.
Once mass-produced and deployed, it will be an unparalleled destructive force on ordinary battlefields.
Chapter 84 A Great Cause is Achieved! Was it Hu who destroyed Qin?
The project to replicate the God of War continued for several years in the forbidden area known as "Tiangongfang" underground in Xianyang.
In recent years, the Qin Empire has been operating at high speed like a sophisticated and efficient war machine, with the full support of many outstanding talents from various schools of thought.
The Mohist school's mechanical arts revolutionized transportation and production; the Gongshu school's domineering mechanical arts forged indestructible siege weapons; the Legalist school's laws and regulations ensured strict governance; and the Agricultural school cultivated fertile fields to fill granaries...
A centralized empire, far surpassing the imagination of any other country of its time, with a well-developed bureaucratic system, powerful productivity, and advanced military technology, had already taken shape.
When the twelve replicas of giant gods—later known as the "Twelve Golden Men"—were finally erected in the huge square in front of Xianyang Palace, created by Gongshu Chou and Master Ban after setting aside their past grievances and pooling the resources of the entire empire, they finally stepped out of the Tiangong Workshop.
Sunlight shone on their cold, heavy bronze bodies, covered with mysterious patterns and menacing weapons, reflecting a chilling light.
Although they lack the primal power of the original demon god to communicate with the stars and destroy the world, their enormous size, indestructible defense, and numerous destructive mechanisms make them the ultimate weapons that are unmatched on the mortal battlefield.
The war wheels of the empire began to roll toward the ends of the known world.
The pillars of the empire that Qin Chuan nurtured in the past—Wang Ben, Meng Tian, Li Xin, and Zhang Han—have long been renowned generals who command respect throughout the land.
