Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 726: Zulong and Renhuang

"I am the ancestor dragon, and I can give orders to the dragon clan. What's wrong with that?"

This is Zulong’s response.

He did not try to prove the legitimacy and title of human's rule over dragon clan, but directly declared his identity as the Ancestral Dragon, the ruler of dragon clan besides Human Emperor.

"Hey!"

"what!"

"what!"

Looking at this response from Zulong, Ao Bing gasped violently, and his nostrils seemed to be dilated, turning into his original form.

That face, which was considered heroic between heaven and earth, was completely distorted at this moment.

Since he was born, there has never been a moment when he felt in such a real way how powerless language is!
Faced with these eight words from the First Emperor, any verbal counterattack seems extremely weak and powerless.

At this moment, if it weren't for the pressure of the ritual of faith and loyalty, Ao Bing would have immediately raised the plain cloud flag and headed for Xianyang to fight a life-and-death battle with the First Emperor.

In the Dragon Court, the other dragon gods were equally furious after hearing this. They roared one by one, shouting that they would rush to Xianyang and release the water from all seas and rivers to flood the entire Xianyang and turn it into a swamp.

Amidst the roars of these dragon gods, Ao Bing suddenly calmed down and came to his senses.

Is the anger of the dragon clan what the First Emperor wanted to see?

Looking at the past of the First Emperor, his actions and his style have always been unscrupulous - angering the dragon clan, making the scattered dragons shrink and gather in Xianyang under the leadership of Ao Bing, and then waiting for the opportunity to tire themselves out, encircling and killing them in one fell swoop, and completely putting an end to the future troubles. This is something the First Emperor would definitely do.

"Quiet!" Ao Bing shouted at the angry dragon gods, then turned his gaze to the messenger in front of him.

The messenger this time was not a god or immortal, but a mortal.

The Commander of Chariots, Zhao Gao.

Under Ao Bing's gaze, Zhao Gao and other envoys all prostrated themselves on the ground.

As for the First Emperor’s response, they had the same feeling as Ao Bing, and they only knew it at this time.

Before this moment, none of them had ever imagined that the First Emperor's response would be so violent and so shameless!
This is like two armies facing each other, and one army says that this is our country's private matter. Why do you, who are from a foreign country or outside our tribe, have the right to interfere in our affairs?

And your response is not based on any righteousness or benevolence.

Instead, just say: I am your father!

Such a sentence would make even the most gentle person blush.

What about the dragon clan?
Moreover, to the dragon clan, the title of "Ancestral Dragon" that the First Emperor called himself is much more important than the title of "father" for mortals.

At this moment, Zhao Gao even began to suspect that he came to the Dragon Court as an envoy just to make these dragon gods vent their anger after being enraged - then, the empire would naturally get an excuse to go to war!

Thus, silent resentment began to spread in Zhao Gao's heart.

"Ancestral Dragon, what a great Ancestral Dragon you are!" Ao Bing suppressed the decree.

This decree was not only to Ao Bing and the dragon clan, but also a declaration from the First Emperor to heaven and earth.

Ao Bing knew that the human race's understanding of heaven and earth had the mysterious ability to reverse reality and make the false true - the source of the power of the gods among the Five Immortals lies in this.

Therefore, no matter what the origin of the First Emperor was before, after such a declaration, the First Emperor truly became the "reincarnation of Zulong".

After Ao Bing suppressed the anger of the other dragon gods, more thoughts emerged in their minds.

The First Emperor was called Zulong.

If one stands on the opposing side, this declaration would naturally be a complete humiliation to the dragon clan.

But what if we look at it from another angle?
If the First Emperor is really Zulong, then Zulong is really the First Emperor.

So from this moment on, the dragon race and the human race had an unprecedented connection.

What Qin inherited was the Taoist tradition of the Shang Dynasty and the legacy of the Xuanniao - but now, it is the dragon clan that has occupied the country of the Xuanniao.

He is the ancestor of the dragon clan and became the emperor of the human race.

This was a complete victory of the dragon clan over the phoenix.

From this moment on, the existence of the dragon clan became a symbol of the human emperor, and it had unprecedented sacredness between heaven and earth.

To get all this, they only need to recognize the First Emperor's claim - or, they only need to not oppose the First Emperor's declaration.

That's it.

Or, even if they wanted to oppose the First Emperor's declaration, was there any way they could do so?
Can the dragon race's "right to speak" between heaven and earth compare to that of the human race's Emperor Qin Shi Huang?

Ao Bing glanced at these dragon gods and knew what had happened.

These dragon gods in front of them have begun to be affected by the power of the human race.

First, they thought that acknowledging that the First Emperor was the Ancestral Dragon would be beneficial to the dragon clan - then, more and more signs and more and more "coincidences" appeared between heaven and earth, proving that the First Emperor was the reincarnation of the Ancestral Dragon.

Finally, the First Emperor will completely become the Zulong.

Of course, it is not just the dragon clan that is affected by this cognition. The First Emperor himself will also be changed by this cognition.

His perception of himself would also swing between the First Emperor and Zulong, and between the human race and the dragon race.

It seemed as if the First Emperor had directly started a gambling game with the dragon clan in the name of Zulong.

The stakes are himself, whether he can maintain his own existence in the cognition of Zulong and Qin Shihuang.

If he wins, then the power of the dragon clan will be used by the human race.

If he loses, then the dragon clan will usher in the rebirth of the ancestor dragon.

The former is a combination of the dragon clan and the human clan, and has incomparable sacredness, so it is highly worshipped by the human clan.

As for the latter, the dragon clan will welcome an unprecedented ancestor dragon who once attempted to seize the throne of the human emperor.

It seems that no matter winning or losing, the dragon clan can only lose and not win.

This idea further affects the dragon clan's cognition.

But in fact, this is a complete trap!
When Qin conquered the six kingdoms, it also used this seemingly sure-win approach. It made promises to the kings of the six kingdoms one by one, and finally broke the promises.

The only one who can truly win this gamble is Emperor Qin himself—because he can stop the gamble at any time.

He can also overturn his previous decree at any time.

This is a creature of profit through and through.

In front of him, all promises and agreements can be invalidated - if anyone believes his words and makes a decision based on his words, it is equivalent to stepping into a desperate situation.

However, Ao Bing naturally could not say such words to these dragon gods.

Even if I tell you, the dragon gods won’t believe it.

As I said, although the dragon race and the human race have long parted ways, the connection between them is really too deep.

The dragon race had a very deep impression of the human emperors and kings. Even though the first emperor unified the human race by deceitful means and had a history of breaking his promises, because he had become the emperor of the human race, the dragon gods of the dragon race were still willing to believe that the first emperor would keep his promise.

After all, when the First Emperor broke his promise in the past, he was not yet the Emperor of Man.

They would instinctively think that after becoming the First Emperor, this Human Emperor would disguise himself with the majesty and demeanor that a Human Emperor should have.

But in fact, how could the First Emperor, who could say that his "virtue is higher than the Three Sovereigns, and his achievements surpass the Five Emperors", and who could say that the Qin Dynasty's foundation would last forever, be constrained by the emperors of the past?

How could he possibly care about this so-called "face"?
For the First Emperor, all he cared about was profit.

As for the nature of this "interest", what it is, is it his personal interest, or is it based on the interests of the entire human race, Ao Bing cannot see it for the time being.

But Ao Bing was certain that the First Emperor, who claimed to be the First Emperor, would definitely not acknowledge this edict when necessary.

"In that case, there's nothing more to say."

"Zhongche Ling, go back."

Ao Bing waved his sleeves and swept all the human envoys in front of him out of the Dragon Court.

There are many words in Su Ran's mind, but these words can only be spoken in front of "Zu Long".

There is no point in asking these messengers to relay the message, and these messengers may not have the courage to relay the message.

However, it was impossible for Ao Bing to go to Xianyang and fall into Zulong's trap.

And it is also impossible for Zulong to escape the protection of humanity and appear in front of Ao Bing.

Therefore, the chance of him and Zulong facing each other is almost zero.

But, even if the opportunities are few, we still have to fight for them!
……

"How is the contact with the nobles of the six countries going?" Ao Bing asked.

Inside the hall, the other dragon gods also had embarrassed expressions - although they were all willing to acknowledge the identity of the First Emperor, Zulong, they did not stop Ao Bing when he showed signs of wanting to compete with Zulong.

After all, Ao Bing is also a celestial dragon, the pillar that changes the situation of the dragon clan.

However, Zulong is just a legendary entity.

Asking them to acknowledge the existence of Zulong is certainly no problem - but asking everyone to kneel before Zulong is another matter.

Therefore, after the decree from the Human Emperor, who considered himself the Ancestral Dragon, Ao Bing was still contacting the nobles of the six countries to support them in their uprising. These dragon gods did not object and were also working hard for Ao Bing.

"I still say that the power of the Ancestral Dragon is too great. As long as he is still alive, no one in the world dares to raise an army to cause chaos." Li Nu waved her hand to order the dragon gods to retreat, and told the responses of the nobles of the six countries one by one.

"There was a man named Zhang Liang who was so bold that he wanted to follow Jing Ke's example and assassinate the First Emperor once more."

"Among the six countries, except for this man, the rest are not worth looking at." Li Nu commented on the remaining nobles of the six countries.

"And there is the Xiang family of Chu."

"I see that the Xiang family still has the spirit, and the military tradition is still being kept secret - if there is a chance, the Xiang family may have the possibility of raising an army."

“But if there is no chance, the Xiang family’s inheritance may turn into dust while hidden.”

"Then the problem still falls on this Zulong."

"It seems that we have to meet Zhang Liang." Ao Bing said.

In the past, Ao Bing naturally looked down upon such means as assassination.

But at this time, apart from assassination, he could not find a way to deal with Zulong.

Only by first eliminating Zulong himself through assassination, will it be possible to destroy Zulong's achievements.

"Let me see how he plans to assassinate Zulong."

As the first emperor who had experienced more than one assassination attempt, Zulong attached great importance to his own safety.

No matter where he went - even when he went to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, he was always surrounded by the spirit of humanity.

In addition, he himself has also practiced the method of becoming a human immortal and possesses considerable strength.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Liang still had the idea of ​​assassinating Zulong.

Regardless of whether he has the ability to assassinate Zulong, the fact that he was able to get close to Zulong safely must have meant that he had a plan.

After all, in order to assassinate Zulong, one must first get close to him, and at the same time, put him in a state of isolation and helplessness.

……

"Your Majesty, do we really not need to inform Zulong about the matter of Zhang Liang?" Tiannu asked in the Heavenly Palace with his head down.

But he also mentioned Zhang Liang's plan to assassinate Zulong.

"Secrecy makes success, and leaks ruin it." The Jade Emperor said disdainfully, "The assassination has not even started yet, but it has already caused a sensation, and everyone in heaven and earth knows about it."

"How could the plan of that little human being possibly succeed?"

"What's more, even the Heavenly Court knows about this matter, so how could Zulong not know about it? He pretended not to know, and I think he was planning to use this matter to clean up all the resentful people in the six countries."

"After all, it is the Immortal Qin of the Eternal Ages."

"In past generations, the Emperor Qin was only a human king, yet he was able to make the Qin Dynasty last forever. How much more so now?"

"Don't you care about the connection between the Dragon Clan and the Zhang Family?" Tiannu asked.

"Just watch the show."

"Also, go to Xianyang again and bring a copy of the blue book of the immortals and gods back to the Heavenly Palace."

The Jade Emperor didn't care at all about Zhang Liang's assassination attempt.

The First Emperor is the Emperor of Mankind.

Since ancient times - from the earliest generation of Guixu to the present, there has never been a precedent of any human emperor being assassinated between heaven and earth.

Even though Ao Bing seemed to have participated in this "assassination", it would not have any impact on the current situation.

For the Jade Emperor, what is more important now is how to get along with the Qin Empire in the future.

And how to naturally gain some other benefits in this "assassination".

He believed that other Daluo thought the same way!

After all, the experience of the Qin State once again proved the "inertia" that originated from countless generations in Guixu.

……

"Is this your confidence in assassinating Zulong?" In the human world, Ao Bing has already met Zhang Liang.

Listening to what Zhang Liang said about the possibility of assassinating Zulong, Li Nu, who was beside Ao Bing, couldn't help laughing.
