"Feng'er, you mean this supposed Heaven-Mandated individual is an agent sent by Heaven to bring about Qin's downfall?"
"Heaven has decreed that Qin shall perish with its second ruler, and these individuals are the instruments of its destruction." Ying Zheng stated with grave solemnity, his brow furrowed.
"Precisely."
Zhao Feng affirmed with a nod.
His gaze once again settled upon Xiang Yu.
"However,"
"With my presence, the entirety of Qin has already undergone a transformation."
"Even if Heaven intends to annihilate Qin, I shall not permit it."
"I will contend against this decree until my last breath."
Zhao Feng let out a cold sneer.
Raising his hand, he gestured towards Xiang Yu, unleashing an attack.
A surge of True Yuan erupted instantaneously.
Endowed with Zhao Feng's potent True Yuan, honed to the Shattering Void Realm standard.
It possessed the might to obliterate an Immortal with a solitary strike.
Under the relentless force of this assault.
Xiang Yu's Heavenly Destiny Qi Fortune manifested, endeavoring to shield him. Yet, succumbing to the attack, Xiang Yu's chest was swiftly impaled.
His life force extinguished instantly, he collapsed lifelessly onto the ground.
"Ultimately,"
"You were not the genuine Heaven-Mandated individual, lacking the protection of a divine artifact."
"When I felled Liu Ji, he was shielded by the Yu State Tripod."
Zhao Feng observed the now-corpse of Xiang Yu, a cold smirk playing on his lips.
"Defeated [Future Hegemon of Western Chu, Xiang Yu], altered the flow of the Heavenly Dao, gained 300 points of all attributes, extended lifespan by 300 days, and received a Fifth-tier Treasure Chest." The system notification flashed.
"May your souls be utterly annihilated as well."
"I shall not tolerate any further missteps."
Zhao Feng lifted his eyes, observing the spectral souls of the fallen dynasty adrift in the void, Xiang Yu among them.
With a simple elevation of his hand.
Netherworld Flames ignited.
Consuming the ethereal souls completely.
"Destroyed soul, acquired 1 point of Primordial Spirit Power."
"Destroyed soul, acquired 1 point of Primordial Spirit Power."
"Vanquished the Primordial Spirit of the Heaven-Mandated individual, gained 300 points of Primordial Spirit Power."
... (repeated notifications)
The system continued to chime.
"Heaven-Mandated person, a laughable designation."
"Now you meet your end not on Qin territory."
Ying Zheng declared with a sneer.
"Father."
"Heaven has decreed Qin's destruction."
"You and I, father and son, shall defy it to the very end."
Zhao Feng proclaimed with a hearty laugh.
"That is correct."
"You and I, father and son, why should we fear this so-called decree?"
"Furthermore, is this decree truly from Heaven?"
"Heaven is just and impartial; why would it meddle in mortal affairs?"
"In my assessment, this purported decree is likely the machination of Immortals and Deities." Ying Zheng scoffed as he spoke.
His words pierced through the veil, revealing the true nature of the supposed mandate.
"Father speaks the undeniable truth."
Zhao Feng smiled.
He then inquired, "Father, where is the meteor?"
"I have already secured it."
"Now that Feng'er has returned, permit him to also inspect the composition of this celestial object."
Ying Zheng offered a warm smile.
With a mere thought.
The Tian Xuan Mirror materialized.
As a shimmering halo emanated.
Nine colossal meteorites, each the size of a small mountain and entirely black, appeared within the courtyard.
Inscribed upon each meteorite were pronouncements foretelling Qin's demise.
Zhao Feng approached.
He examined them closely.
[Outer Heaven Meteor]: Originates from the fractured void of the Nine Heavens. Functions to isolate Spiritual Power, defends against immortal power, and can penetrate ordinary immortal energies.
"Hahaha."
"Father."
"These are divine gifts bestowed by the Immortals and Deities upon our Qin."
"These meteorites are materials of the highest caliber for forging."
"If employed in weapon creation, even a modest addition to the blade forging process would imbue them with unparalleled sharpness and spirit-shattering capabilities." Zhao Feng declared with mirth.
"Truly?"
A glimmer of delight illuminated Ying Zheng's countenance.
"Indeed." Zhao Feng confirmed with a resolute nod.
Upon hearing this assurance!
Ying Zheng erupted in laughter, "Did you hear that? These meteorites are invaluable treasures, sufficient to bolster Qin's military might significantly."
"We extend our congratulations to His Majesty and the Crown Prince."
The assembled ministers vociferously acclaimed.
"These meteorites are artifacts from the Immortal Realm, celestial fragments from the Nine Heavens."
"Mortal flames are incapable of refining them."
"However, I possess a Spiritual Fire that can precisely refine these meteorites." Zhao Feng disclosed with a smile.
He then issued a summons, "Chen Ping."
"And Ou Qizi."
"We are here, my lord."
Chen Ping, alongside another imposing figure, hurried forward. One held authority over Qin's military craftsmanship, while the other commanded the armory and forging operations.
"Send all nine fragments of the meteor to the Forging Hall."
"I shall bestow nine flames upon the Forging Hall to smelt the meteor within the furnace."
With that declaration,
Zhao Feng directly summoned nine streams of the Blood Burning Flame. This was no ordinary flame but a powerful Spiritual Fire, capable of incinerating the meteor.
Then.
Zhao Feng casually retrieved the array device containing the flames and infused all nine Spiritual Fires into it.
"I accept the command."
Chen Ping and Ou Qizi immediately acknowledged the order.
"Ministers."
"Are there any other state affairs to present?"
Zhao Feng surveyed the assembled ministers and inquired.
"We have nothing further to present."
The ministers responded in unison.
"In that case, we shall adjourn the court."
Zhao Feng made a gesture with his hand.
Upon his return,
Zhao Feng would naturally address the matter concerning the Immortals and Gods.
Similarly, it was also the juncture to truly initiate Qin's Martial Arts cultivation.
Thus,
better preparation would be made to confront future threats from the Immortals and Gods.
"We take our leave."
The ministers bowed and departed one by one.
Within the Morning Discussion Hall!
"Feng'er."
"How did it proceed?"
Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Feng and asked.
Zhao Feng had departed days prior in search of the fabled Penglai Immortal Island, seeking the Immortal who had intended to take his life.
Now returned, the outcome was evident.
"Father."
"First, observe the nature of the so-called Penglai Immortal Island."
Zhao Feng instructed.
He directly summoned the Tian Xuan Mirror.
A screen of light materialized before Ying Zheng, displaying the scene.
The visage of Penglai Immortal Island was revealed.
A miasma of Blood Qi and resentment permeated the atmosphere.
Within the island,
a chilling Demonic Qi prevailed.
Countless corpses and skeletal remains lay scattered about.
In the grand hall, a Blood Pond held the bodies of children; their hearts and livers were displayed, an act of unimaginable cruelty, resembling an earthly inferno.
"This... this is Penglai?"
"The supposed land of the Immortals?"
Even Ying Zheng, witnessing this horrifying sight, frowned deeply.
"The so-called Immortals are, in fact, Demons."
"They subsist by consuming humans, cultivating with the Spiritual Charms of their prey."
"They utilize human blood as spirit, forging their immortal foundation."
"This is but one Penglai, merely one Immortal," Zhao Feng stated solemnly, his expression grave.
"Why would Immortals behave in such a manner?"
"How do such actions differ from those of beasts?" Ying Zheng inquired, astonished.
"From our Human Race's perspective, those beasts are mere sustenance whenever we are stronger. To those Immortals and Gods, we are viewed as beasts."
"Readily available to be devoured and slain at any moment."
Zhao Feng declared gravely.
"With the meteor's Heavenly Descent, aside from the intention to destroy Qin, what else do they seek?" Ying Zheng questioned.
He keenly perceived that this Heavenly Descent of the meteor was undoubtedly more complex than it initially appeared.
"To shatter the Qi Fortune of Shenzhou, drag Shenzhou into the Immortal Realm, and feast upon the beings of Shenzhou."
"Should they succeed, the purgatorial spectacle of Penglai Immortal Island will be replicated across Shenzhou. The entirety of Shenzhou will transform into a desolate realm, and its inhabitants will be penned as mere blood-food," Zhao Feng articulated solemnly.
"Immortals and Gods."
"I never fathomed that those lofty dwellers of the Immortal Realm would be so depraved," Ying Zheng's expression turned unusually serious, a palpable sense of urgency dawning upon him.

"Feng'er."
"What course of action should we take?"
Ying Zheng turned to Zhao Feng for guidance.
"Father."
"Even a commoner's fury can spill blood across five steps."
"Would the righteous indignation of our Great Qin Dynasty not pale in comparison to these Immortals?"
"What Qin requires now is the strengthening of its military and martial prowess."
"Since these Immortals and Gods aim to seize Shenzhou's Qi Fortune, to hold its beings captive."
"Should Qin not possess the capacity to slay Immortals and Gods?"
"The Immortals and Gods reside in the Nine Heavens, aloof and arrogant, subjugating the populace. Does Qin not possess the means to invade the Immortal Realm, to reshape it, and eradicate these demon-like Immortals and Gods entirely?" Zhao Feng scoffed, exuding immense grandeur and dominance.
On the side, Guiguzi, upon hearing this,
could not help but gaze at Zhao Feng with profound amazement and astonishment.
Even he had not foreseen such an audacious ambition brewing within Zhao Feng.
Daring to entertain the notion of a counteroffensive against the Immortal Realm.
He himself had merely desired for the continued peace of Shenzhou.
Immortals and Gods.
Could they truly be vanquished?
Could Great Qin genuinely launch a counterattack against the Immortal Realm?
Contemplating this,
Guiguzi's heart fluttered with a rising sense of eager expectation.
