Han Xin ambushes an Tu An assassination attempt on a royal wedding procession, skillfully turning the tables on the attackers. Meanwhile, in Xianyang, a decree nationalizes all land, redistributing it to Qin citizens, fostering immense loyalty and celebration throughout the empire.

As Zhao Feng had spoken.

Since ages past.

Ordinary folk harbored no grand aspirations, merely desiring life, prosperity, and tranquility.

The preceding nations, however, offered them none of this, delivering only relentless exploitation and cruel subjugation.

Yet, Qin now bestows this upon them.

With Zhao Feng assuming the mantle of Crown Prince and managing state affairs.

Numerous oppressive Qin statutes were rescinded, replaced by laws designed to foster recovery and benefit all citizens.

Qin united, Shenzhou unified, Huaxia made one.

This signifies the true might of Huaxia.

"The yearning for our former homelands has vanished."

"Following this, the populace's hearts have completely realigned with Qin; our prospects for national restoration are nil."

"The path that lies ahead... alas..."

Meanwhile, concealed within the shadows, the remnants of the fragmented Six States, having overheard the proclamation, found themselves enveloped in profound unease and apprehension.

Where once they might have leveraged the people's support and sentiment, they now possessed none.

Should they emerge and attempt to incite unrest, proclaiming their intent to re-establish their nations, it is highly probable they would be swiftly eliminated by the very citizens of their erstwhile realms.

What had their former kingdoms offered their subjects?

Tyrannical governance.

Crushing taxes.

And relentless oppression.

The aristocracy looked down upon the commoners.

And what of Qin's laws?

All individuals are regarded with equality, without exception.

Irrespective of noble standing, all are subject to the identical legal framework.

Such is the nature of the Legalist state of Qin.

Concurrently.

Within the hallowed grounds of the Qin Royal Palace!

Inside the Zhangtai Palace.

Beyond its walls.

Ren Xiao, Zhang Ming.

One holds the position of Imperial Guards Leader, the other that of the Crown Prince's personal guard commander.

These two stood vigil outside the imperial Zhangtai Palace.

Alongside them, the entirety of the Imperial Guard Army and the personal guard contingent maintained a protective cordon.

At this very moment, Ying Zheng has issued a decree stipulating that as long as he and the Crown Prince remain within the confines of Zhangtai Palace, no individual shall disturb them; any who disregard this warning face immediate execution!

This injunction underscores the profound significance of the current proceedings.

Today marks the issuance of a sacred proclamation, the distribution of land among the populace, and the designated time for the people's ultimate allegiance.

Such an opportune moment is precisely what Zhao Feng seeks: the complete devotion and compliance of all citizens.

It represents the most propitious period for amassing the spiritual Qi fortune of the Qin populace, for their hearts have now been fully reclaimed by Qin.

"Are you prepared?"

Ying Zheng addressed Zhao Feng, his gaze intense and serious.

"Prepared."

"This juncture is when we shall gather the Qi fortune of Qin." Zhao Feng responded in a deep, resonant voice.

"Excellent."

"I shall await your return here." Ying Zheng affirmed with a nod, his expression likewise solemn.

"Once the Qi fortune is successfully amassed, Father, you may then proceed to establish the Holy Court, integrating the national fortune into your being, and commence the cultivation of the Divine Soul."

"Regardless of any subsequent events, you need not harbor concern." Zhao Feng advised.

Ying Zheng inclined his head: "I comprehend."

"Good."

Zhao Feng gave a decisive nod.

He then assumed a cross-legged posture immediately, silently reciting the incantation for [Creating a Holy Court] within his mind.

Subsequently, he initiated the technique.

An aura of profound mystery emanated from Zhao Feng's form.

Radiating outward from Zhao Feng as the epicenter, a potent force designed to mobilize Qi fortune began to coalesce in the ethereal void.

The entire expanse of the void quaked in response to this phenomenon.

Then.

A resounding cry pierced the void.

In the heavens above, a colossal black Mystic Bird, spanning hundreds of meters, materialized abruptly.

Summoned by Zhao Feng's actions, the Qi fortune totem of Qin made its grand appearance.

The emblem of Qin is, in fact, this black Mystic Bird.

This has been its established representation since the very inception of the nation.

Through the passage of years, it has ascended to the status of a National Fortune Divine Beast; however, it cannot be invoked by mortal power alone. Only through the path of Qi Fortune can the sacred Qi fortune totem be summoned, ultimately manifesting as the resplendent National Fortune Divine Beast.

As time progressed.

The enigmatic aura emanating from Zhao Feng continued to expand and intensify.

Finally.

Upon reaching a critical threshold.

"Creating a Holy Court."

"Manifest the Qi fortune totem, condense the national fortune totem."

Zhao Feng commanded sternly within his heart.

Unleashing the full might of the cultivation technique.

High above in the void.

The Mystic Bird of Qi fortune, poised at its zenith, began to stir in accordance with the command.

Initially, its presence was imperceptible to ordinary observers.

But at this momentous juncture.

As the Qi fortune totem underwent its transformation into the potent national fortune.

The Mystic Bird suspended in the void gradually became visible.

Its immense form, stretching hundreds of meters, now dominated the skies above Xianyang, exerting an intangible pressure and instilling a profound sense of awe within the hearts of every citizen of Qin.

"Quick, look!"

"The Mystic Bird, the sacred totem of Qin!"

"How has Qin's totem become animated?"

"Such a magnificent Mystic Bird."

"Indeed."

"The appearance of the Mystic Bird must surely be a celestial harbinger of great fortune."

"Your Majesty and the Crown Prince have just issued a decree to bestow fertile land upon all the populace. Could it be that the Heavens acknowledge the holy virtues of Your Majesty and the Crown Prince, thereby causing this auspicious phenomenon to appear and protect Qin while shielding Your Majesty and the Crown Prince?"

"It must be so."

"A totem has appeared; it is a true symbol of good fortune."

"In the past, when Zhou Li was established, a phoenix cried out at Qi Mountain."

"Now, the Mystic Bird of Qin appears! This is even more so a demonstration of the prosperous and strong omen for Qin."

"Heaven bless Qin..."

Within Xianyang City.

Countless citizens beheld the Mystic Bird totem assembling and materializing in the void.

Every single one of them was filled with elation.

Because they understood.

This was an auspicious symbol belonging to their Qin.

Furthermore, it was an omen that heaven acknowledged the deeds of Qin.

The manifestation of the totem was indeed astonishing.

But, after all, they were merely the unenlightened masses.

Nevertheless, as stories like this were passed down, the prestige of Qin would undoubtedly reach its apex.

In ancient times, Zhou Li was founded, and a phoenix cried at Qi Mountain.

Now, Qin reigns over Shenzhou, and the Mystic Bird appears.

The future would also record this as a historical anecdote: the Mystic Bird graces Xianyang, and Qin prospers eternally.

With the grand appearance of the Mystic Bird.

There was a transformation from the ethereal to the tangible.

It was also a transition from intangible qi fortune to the cultivation of national fortune.

"People of the Great Qin Divine Land, do you wish to forever remain People of Qin?"

Gazing upon the Mystic Bird in the void, Zhao Feng roared fiercely from the depths of his heart.

As his voice echoed.

It was earth-shattering.

Across the entire Great Qin Divine Land, spanning nine provinces and thirty-six counties, over eighty million citizens heard these words reverberating beside their ears.

Amidst great astonishment.

Innumerable individuals were taken aback.
