"We’ve fallen into a trap!"

In the blood mist swirling sky, the generals of the Qin Dynasty stand, looking at the corpses scattered everywhere, their expressions extremely grim.

They are not fools.

They naturally understand the impact of this event on the Qin Dynasty.

Soon, it may be rumored within the human race that the Qin Dynasty is cold and ruthless, biting the hand that feeds them, and turning their blades on unarmed civilians.

"Why would they do this?"

Zhao Yun frowned slightly. This feeling of being tricked made him very uncomfortable, making him want to vent, yet with no target to aim at.

Surely they couldn’t lead the army to attack the Xuan Yue Dynasty?

If that happened, the Qin Dynasty would truly part ways with the human race!

"Not sure!" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Bai Qi shook his head, his blood sword at his waist gleaming with a crisp sword ringing as it slashed towards the grand world of Azure Heaven.

The bloody sword qi was boundlessly sharp.

It destroyed the world.

Bai Qi stepped forward, walking into the ruined world, searching for the heart of the world.

As he passed by the generals, he said in a deep voice, "I suggest we immediately withdraw and return to the court, and report this matter to the ’Abyssal Guard’, to be sent back to the court at the fastest speed. I have a premonition that if this matter isn’t properly resolved, it will cause a storm within the human race!"

The generals nodded, their expressions slightly grim.

...

Xuan Yue Dynasty.

Located in the world of the Waning Moon Heavens.

This world is very famous, known as the endpoint of the ’Sky Splitting Battle’, where it’s rumored the Human Emperor fell.

For countless years, many strong ones have investigated this world, hoping to find the corpse of the Human Emperor, but all failed. Over time, the strong ones across the worlds have forgotten about it.

At the center of the world, above the majestic imperial city, the sky suddenly cracked open, and a black pearl flew out.

The huge commotion immediately caught the attention of the city patrol commanders, thinking there was an invasion, their eyes flashed with cold light, ready to intercept.

Bang!

At this moment, a golden palm imprint flew out from the palace, towering thousands of feet, with emperor’s might thick in the air, as capable of plucking the sun, moon, and stars, as it was of subduing heaven and earth.

Under the gaze of all, the palm imprint accurately grabbed the black pearl and disappeared.

The commanders of the patrol bowed solemnly towards the palace.

Soon, order in the city was restored to normal.

"Qin Dynasty!"

"You have gone too far, for the sake of one world of grandeur, you slaughtered my ten billion citizens!"

"Qin Wudao, you deserve death..."

Until sunset, an angry voice came from the palace, containing endless fury, materializing and burning fiercely in the sky.

Within the capital, countless citizens of the Xuan Yue Dynasty were stunned.

Then an uproar ensued.

Filled with rage.

"Our Dynasty’s ten billion citizens were killed by the Qin Dynasty?"

"Despicable, during the second ’Galactic War’, our Dynasty sacrificed millions of troops to protect the Qin, but in return, the Qin repaid our kindness with treachery, raising their blade to slaughter our Dynasty’s citizens—a pack of wolves, truly a pack of wolves!"

"This enmity must be avenged, or our ten million citizens will die with eyes open in rage; this is a national grievance, the Qin must provide an explanation!"

"Punish the culprits severely! The culprits must be punished severely!"

...

The citizens of the Xuan Yue Dynasty, having come to their senses, were in an uproar, eyes aflame with anger, clamoring outside the palace, demanding severe punishment for the Qin Dynasty.

Trembling and terrifying auras erupted from their bodies, converging together, disturbing the heavens, and shattering the skies.

Inside the palace, the monarch of the Xuan Yue Dynasty sat on the royal throne, listening to the pleas of the people, playing with a black pearl in his hand, the corner of his mouth curving into a sinister smile.

"Qin Dynasty..."

"This calamity, let’s see how you handle it!"

"As long as the human race abandons the Qin, this ornate robe of the human race will no longer be worn!"

The icy voice resonated in the hall, generating a cold wind that shattered the void.

A moment later, the monarch of the Xuan Yue Dynasty put away the black pearl, slowly stood up, angrily ordering, "Send orders, take the merit stele to the Ancestor Hall, I am going to lodge a complaint!"

Merit stele.

A stele inscribed with the names of the warriors who died for the human race.

He took the merit stele to the Ancestor Hall to force the palace, intending to make the Ancestor punish the Qin.

The same day.

The monarch of the Xuan Yue Dynasty arrived at the Ancestor Hall.

"Xuan Yue, what is the meaning of this?"

Inside the Ancestor Hall, the Ancestor saw the monarch of the Xuan Yue Dynasty and the merit stele behind him, asking in puzzlement.

"Dare I ask Ancestor, if someone harms their fellow kin, how should it be dealt with?"

The monarch of the Xuan Yue Dynasty stood in the hall, placing the merit stele by his side, looking directly at the Ancestor, inquiring in a deep voice.

The Ancestor frowned slightly, feeling somewhat bewildered but still bluntly said, "According to the clan rules, those who kill must pay with their life!"

"If that’s the case, then I ask Ancestor to make a decision for me, for the ten billion immortals of Xuan Yue, for the countless martyred warriors!"

The monarch of the Xuan Yue Dynasty, bursting with joy inside, directly knelt on the ground, crying out in a sad voice.

"What has happened?"

The Ancestor, seeing this, frowned deeper, feeling a pang of unease.

Having cultivated to this level, his intuition was usually very accurate, and the sudden unease indicated something significant was happening.

Could it be that the clans of all heavens were deploying?

Or perhaps...

"Ancestor, a few days ago, the Pang Lion clan migrated, leaving the world of Azure Heaven vacant. To prevent accidents, I migrated some immortals there!"

"I also know that the world of Azure Heaven belongs to the Qin, but I just wanted to borrow it temporarily!"

"But who could have thought, the Qin, indiscriminately, brutally slaughtered ten billion immortals, my ten billion citizens, not perished at the hands of foreign clans, but at the hands of the Qin!"

"Ten billion! A full ten billion lives..."

The monarch of the Xuan Yue Dynasty spoke sorrowfully, his eyes reddened, filled with grief and anger.

As he spoke, he activated numerous merit steles, the names of billions of fallen warriors of the Xuan Yue Dynasty emerged, elevating the atmosphere of sorrow to its extreme.

"Impossible!"

The Ancestor’s face drastically changed, the idea that the Qin slaughtered ten billion immortal citizens of the human race—what a joke?

Moreover, this matter is shrouded in too many mysteries.

For instance, clearly, the Xuan Yue Dynasty is located in the eighth layer of heaven, why travel all the way to the distant Azure Heaven world?

If it were to aid the Qin, why send ten billion immortals?

"How is it impossible?"

"If Ancestor doesn’t believe me, I also have evidence!"

The monarch of the Xuan Yue Dynasty stood up from the ground, took out a black pearl, and projected four fragmented images.

The first image, the Qin’s four armies pressing forward.

The second image, Chang Shou Shan standing atop the heavens, exuding endless killing intent.

The third image, the Qin’s second legion charging, with blood light surging, cleansing the universe.

The fourth image, ten billion corpses of Xuan Yue Dynasty’s immortals lay quietly on the world of Azure Heaven, blood streaming, staining the land red.

The content of the four images all point to the Qin as the culprits.

"Ancestor, now with sufficient evidence, please immediately arrest Qin Wudao!"

The monarch of the Xuan Yue Dynasty bowed again, paying respectful homage.

The Ancestor looked at the four pictures, his face changing repeatedly, but remained silent.
