Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield Chapter 752 Chapter 308: Let Emperor Qin Shi Huang and the Hundred Officials Witness the Original History! (Part 3)

As those words rang out.

The whole court fell into shock.

Nobody had anticipated that Ying Zheng would command Hu Hai's immediate execution.

This was his own son, after all.

The very son he had favored above all others in the palace before.

But now, Ying Zheng resolved to end his life.

"Father."

"You... you're really going to kill me?"

"Yet I am your son."

"Just for Zhao Feng, you'd actually execute me?"

Hu Hai stood frozen in disbelief right then, never imagining his father truly desired his death.

He raised his head, his features quivering.

"Father is truly slaying Hu Hai on my account."

Zhao Feng gazed at Ying Zheng with equal astonishment.

Evidently.

Zhao Feng hadn't foreseen Ying Zheng decreeing Hu Hai's death along with the annihilation of his maternal clan.

At first, Zhao Feng had assumed.

Ying Zheng might at worst demote Hu Hai from royalty, lock him away, or banish him to the Northern Frontier, yet execution was beyond expectation.

"Feng'er."

"I've already failed you, your mother, and your brothers and sisters."

"If even now I shield this traitor intent on your murder, I'd fail utterly as your father."

Ying Zheng's mind churned with inner conflict.

Caught between Hu Hai and Zhao Feng.

Ying Zheng selected his firstborn.

Witnessing this.

Zhao Feng let out a sigh, pondering inwardly: "Fine then, with Father ready to eliminate Hu Hai for my sake, I'll ensure he harbors no remorse."

With that thought.

Zhao Feng stepped forward steadily.

"Father."

"Lords."

"Would you like to witness Qin's original fate without my presence?" Zhao Feng declared slowly.

Hearing those words!

Ying Zheng grew utterly baffled.

The officials shared his confusion.

"Feng'er, what are you saying?" Ying Zheng inquired.

"I can reveal to Father the outcome if Qin lacked me."

"Allow Father to behold the true original history."

"This explains partly why I opted to defend Baiyue."

Zhao Feng spoke gravely.

"Your Highness."

"Do you hold the gift of prophecy?" Yu Liao exclaimed in wonder.

"Original history—events meant to unfold?"

"If true, only Immortals or Gods could reveal it, no?"

"How might we even view such a thing?"

All the ministers recoiled in profound shock.

Zhao Feng paid them no heed.

A flick of his hand.

An array plate materialized in his grasp.

Not a lethal trapping array, but one for illusions.

To bind heaven and earth strictly to past history—Zhao Feng's strength couldn't manage that yet.

Yet via an illusionary formation, Zhao Feng could craft a vivid scene, projecting his recollections of Qin's history.

Manifested within the illusion.

Allowing them to live through Qin's destined path, particularly Hu Hai's role.

Undoubtedly.

Once they witnessed Hu Hai's brutal tyranny as Emperor Qin Ershi.

Ying Zheng would harbor no second thoughts on his death, nor would the court deem him heartless toward kin—Hu Hai's original atrocities would enrage Emperor Qin Shi Huang to his grave.

Butchering family.

Betraying the faithful and virtuous.

In truth.

These present ministers would face purge under Hu Hai, leaving mighty Great Qin bereft of talent.

"Feng'er, how does this work?"

Ying Zheng burned with curiosity then.

Precisely what comprised the original history?

He trusted Zhao Feng's claim without question.

Naturally.

Ying Zheng grasped the extent of Zhao Feng's abilities.

Soring through skies, mounting dragons in flight.

Such feats marked Immortal prowess.

"Quite straightforward."

Zhao Feng grinned.

Another hand wave.

Under his mighty True Yuan, the array plate glowed radiantly.

It soared instantly into the emptiness.

"This... this..."

Hundreds of officials stared in stunned silence.

Too awestruck to utter a sound.

Still, turmoil raged in their minds.

"How does His Highness perform this feat?"

"An immortal treasure? Rising unaided?"

"Does His Highness command immortal might? What controls it?"

"Incredible, simply incredible."

"What sorcery is this?"

"His Highness remains so enigmatic..."

Numerous officials reeled in total amazement.

As the array plate hovered over the plaza skies.

All were gripped by utter wonder; despite swirling questions, words failed them.

Yet Ying Zheng observed with composure.

"Zhao Feng."

"Is he some spirit or deity?"

"Why is he endowed with such divine might?"

"Have we erred from the beginning? Should we have never stood against Zhao Feng?"

Witnessing this feat that surpasses mortal bounds.

Huai Zhuang together with the captured ministers were seized by utter shock and dread; evidently, the sight unfolding hit them with profound force.

"Everyone, are you all ready?"

Zhao Feng uttered slowly.

His voice resonated outward.

"Your Highness, Chen Den stands ready."

"What more must we ministers do?"

"Will we truly witness Qin's original history?"

"With the Prince present in Qin, how could the true history lack the Prince?"

"We ministers truly cannot comprehend this."

Ministers voiced their thoughts in rapid succession.

The profound intent in Zhao Feng's reference to nonexistent history had yet to dawn on them.

In truth,

Back in the genuine timeline of Qin, during that ancient epoch.

Emperor Qin Shi Huang possessed no son called Zhao Feng.

More precisely,

The mythical Efang woman could have lived, a Zhao Feng might have too, but without this Zhao Feng's peerless martial arts, he likely fell in battle or never encountered Emperor Qin Shi Huang.

Herein lies the paradox.

The paradox of history devoid of Zhao Feng.

"Now that you're all prepared."

"I shall unveil Qin's authentic history for you."

Zhao Feng declared solemnly.

With just a single thought.
