Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 727: The First Emperor, the Human Emperor
The Zhang family is located in an extremely large mountain villa. As a noble family that has stood for thousands of years, the Zhang family's accumulated wealth is no less than those of the immortal sects.

This villa is more like a small city than a villa.

The ordinary people in the city were either members of the Zhang family or servants of the Zhang family.

In this city-like Zhuangzi, Zhang's existence is heaven.

But at this moment, the sky has collapsed!

There are scholars with pens who record and calculate the vast wealth.

Then, the soldiers in black clothes and armor loaded all the treasures onto the carts and took them away.

Especially those divine irons and spiritual golds, they were dug three feet into the ground without leaving out anything.

Various magic treasures, weapons, etc. related to killing were also confiscated.

Even weapons made of ordinary iron are no exception.

This is the order of the First Emperor.

Even Ao Bing felt that the law was too harsh.

There is no room for war in the world!
Therefore, all the weapons of the mortals were collected and brought to Xianyang.

Although the magic weapons of those registered immortals and gods were not confiscated, they themselves and their magic weapons were also placed under surveillance seals by the alchemists.

If you use magic weapons or spells to fight others without permission, you will be guilty.

Anyway, if they use magic power to improve people's livelihood and regulate the mountains and rivers, then they will have made great contributions. Even if the Heavenly Court investigates, the First Emperor can keep them safe.

In short, what the First Emperor wanted was for a new trend to emerge in this world - fighting was useless except in the army.

Except in the army, no matter how strong the fighting ability of an immortal is, he cannot compare to a mortal cultivator who can control the wind and rain and drive away pests.

Inside Zhang's manor, the clan members watched as all the rare treasures in the manor were taken away. Their faces turned pale, but they dared not say anything.

"Ten thousand years of wealth, all gone in one day."

"Even if you are an immortal or a god, your state of mind will inevitably collapse - you are a mortal, but you are not moved at all."

"You seem to be very naive, but why do you think Zulong will give you a chance?" Ao Bing withdrew his gaze from the Zhang's manor from afar.

Different from other members of the Zhang family who cried and wailed, and were even willing to die with the wealth, the young man in front of Ao Bing, named Zhang Liang, seemed unusually calm in the face of this sudden change, so calm that he was almost indifferent!

"Zulong collected all the wealth and soldiers in the world. His orders were spread all over the world before he visited Mount Tai."

"I have already told them that if they want to retreat, they should have obeyed the imperial edict and counted their weapons and presented them to Xianyang, and then distributed the land to the people, so that they could have left a good reputation."

"If you want to advance, you must spend all your money, recruit soldiers and horses in the name of the old Han, and fight to the death. Even if you fail, you will still not lose the name of your family."

"But they are unwilling to retreat, but afraid to advance."

"I hesitated until now."

"In the past, the Zhang family had immortal soldiers and countless servants."

"Now, Zulong has collected all the soldiers in the world, bound all the immortals in the world, and trampled the name of the nobles into the dust. The Zhang family has lost both its power and its reputation."

"Wealth at this time is no longer wealth, but disaster."

"If you sacrifice money to resolve a disaster, you should be thankful. Why should you feel resentful?"

"What's more, I, Zhang Liang, am still here. As long as I am still here, what does a million years of wealth matter?"

The young man in front of Ao Bing had a gentle expression.

"Compared to these things that cannot be eaten or drunk, it is better to continue talking about Zulong."

"Don't you think that the existence of Zulong is extremely contradictory?"

"The Emperor of Man is the most virtuous person in the universe. Only when one gives up selfishness and works for the public good can he be the Emperor of Man."

"But Zulong chose to use the world to support one person, to start a legacy that would last for eternity, and to turn this world into his private property."

"Especially since they want to make the world one family, and live forever, and turn the human race into their private property, they are doomed to bring the human race to an irretrievable end."

"With such a character, even if he has made great contributions, he should not be honored as the emperor."

"Otherwise, it would be too much of an insult to the word 'Human Emperor'."

"So, I judge."

"Zulong is selfish but not selfless!"

"To bear the humiliation of the country, to be the master of the country."

"Zulong is the one who bears the blame of the country - he uses his own selfishness to turn the blame of the world into his own fault."

"In this way, as long as he dies, all the filth in the world will be eliminated!"

"From the beginning, I wanted to eliminate all conflicts and hidden dangers within the human race while I was still alive."

"Then die with your sins, leaving behind a clean world!"

As Zhang Liang spoke, his words were full of admiration.

"However, what Zulong did not expect was that when he was around, the human world would be so timid that no one dared to raise an army."

"The achievements of the Qin State, these tainted achievements, will soon be passed down through the generations."

"Do you believe it, Lord God? Zulong is more anxious than I am right now?"

"So, he will definitely give me the opportunity to assassinate him - not just me, but everyone in the world. As long as they dare to claim to assassinate him, he will definitely give them the opportunity!"

Zhang Liang said with certainty.

"It's just your guess."

"So I have to verify him!" Zhang Liang's expression was filled with fanaticism - as if he was the only one in the whole world who understood the real Zulong.

It was as if the assassination he was preparing was not an assassination, but a communication between two close friends across the air.

"The highest ideal of the alchemists is to achieve immortality through mortal means."

"It is also because of this ideal that alchemists are valued by Zulong."

"Is a ancestor dragon who seeks immortality the human emperor you imagine is ready to die at any time?"

"Things should be done in secrecy. If Zulong really wanted immortality, he wouldn't have done it in such a high-profile manner."

"Like me, if I really wanted to assassinate Zulong, I wouldn't do it in such a high-profile manner." Zhang Liang brought the subject back.

"Let's see."

"I will assassinate Zulong and bury him as Zulong wishes."

"If I succeed, or if I fail, Zulong will not punish anyone."

"That proves that I am right."

"The First Emperor is truly the First Emperor—the First Emperor who was selfless and willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of humanity!"

"When that happens, it will be the Dragon Lord's turn to choose."

"If that's the case, why are you telling me this?"

"If Zulong is really the First Emperor, it will only make me want to kill him more, won't it?"

"Lord Dragon, Lord Dragon, you still don't understand." Zhang Liang laughed.

"Only the dead first emperor can be the first emperor of the human race."

"If he hadn't died, he wouldn't have been able to become the First Emperor!"

"If the Qin Dynasty had not been destroyed, the First Emperor would never have become the First Emperor!"

"So, Lord Long, even though you also want to kill Zulong, I, Zhang Liang, am still begging you for help."

"I beg Lord Long to join forces with me to assassinate Zulong."

"After this, regardless of success or failure, I, Zhang Liang, will do my utmost to overthrow the Qin State."

"This is also what the Dragon King wishes, isn't it?" Whether it is the assassination of Zulong or the achievement of overthrowing the Qin State, it is of vital importance to Ao Bing's rituals.

Between heaven and earth, no matter who gets such an opportunity, he will take it and make an unprecedented deal with Ao Bing.

However, although Zhang Liang saw through all of this, he had no intention of using it for a trade. Instead, he put it directly on the table.

The attitude he showed did not show that he wanted to make a deal with Ao Bing.

Instead, he asked Ao Bing to help verify his guess and asked Ao Bing to take action to allow the First Emperor to have a dignified exit - and after that, Zhang Liang would be grateful for Ao Bing's kindness and would do his best to destroy the Qin State to put an end to the First Emperor.

"According to what you said, you should be Zulong's companion."

"Why do you have such deep hatred towards Zulong as I do?"

"My ill will towards Zulong is due to the Dao dispute."

"Where does your malice towards Zulong come from?" At this time, Ao Bing's interest in Zhang Liang was no less than his interest in Zulong.

"Malice?" Zhang Liang looked surprised. "Why would Lord Long think this was malicious?"

"The Ancestral Dragon swept across the world and united the human race again. What a great achievement this is!"

"However, the First Emperor only accomplished half of this feat."

"The remaining half needs to be done by everyone in the world."

"But, people in the world are cowardly and don't dare to do the remaining half."

"Or maybe I'm just too stupid to see the remaining half."

"Or maybe he has selfish motives and wants the First Emperor to bear the blame so that he can use the benefits for himself."

"I just don't do what they want."

"Each generation has its own achievements."

"The First Emperor was born when the human race was about to split, and seven kings rose up at the same time."

"If we don't win quickly, the human race will be divided and will not accept unity."

"So, the First Emperor had no choice but to maneuver and give up everything else, just to complete the unification as quickly as possible, to make the writing system the same, the wheel gauge the same, to make the human race one again, and to put an end to the problem of human division."

"This is a temporary solution!"

"Now that the First Emperor has completed his work, it is our turn."

"The First Emperor came to power in an illegitimate way, and the foundation of humanity was damaged. Therefore, we should shoulder the responsibility and destroy the First Emperor's achievements, and then rebuild the foundation of humanity."

As Zhang Liang spoke, he became more and more agitated, and his words were no longer as regulated as before.

"Your duty is to assassinate?"

"wrong!"

"Assassination is not just assassination!" Zhang Liang said firmly.

"The Human Emperor and the Human King of the human race are both sacred. Therefore, in front of the Human Emperor and the Human King, the immortals and gods bow their heads and mortals kneel in submission."

"The sacredness of the human king was first suppressed by Emperor Xin's self-immolation, then the Chu State mobilized its troops, then the Dragon King destroyed Haodu, then the Duke of Zheng shot it, and the King of Chu demanded the throne... Only in this way did the sacredness of the human king fall."

"Now, I want to follow the example of Lord Long."

"If the assassination is successful, that's it."

"If it fails, it can still shake the holiness of the Human Emperor."

……

"The six kingdoms have been destroyed. Are there no heroes left in the world?" In the middle of the huge carriage, the First Emperor stretched out his hand and lifted the curtain. Outside the curtain were endless mountains and rivers.

On all four sides of the chariot, there are countless immortals and gods guarding it, pushing away the wind and rain, and harmonizing the sun and the moon.

Outside the carriage, the envoy from Xianyang took the bamboo slips reviewed by the First Emperor and quickly went to Xianyang.

"The Dragon Lord in the Dragon Court actually endured this anger. It seems that he is not a hero either."

"I thought I could see the claws that move the wind and clouds on this cloud."

"But I didn't expect that there was nothing above the cloud." The First Emperor withdrew his gaze, and from his words, he didn't care at all about Zulong's words.

"Your Majesty, the world is at peace, and there are no heroes. Isn't that a good thing?"

“Otherwise, with so many heroes stirring up trouble, the world will be in chaos like the wars among the princes in the past.” Next to the carriage, Li Si rode on a dragon horse.

"Really?" The First Emperor's gaze gradually became deep.

"How is the matter of recasting the Nine Cauldrons going?"

"The location of the Nine Cauldrons has been chosen."

"Although the Nine Cauldrons originated from Emperor Yu, he was ultimately a petty-minded person," said the First Emperor.

"The human kings of all generations have always thought of using the Nine Cauldrons as a means to check and balance the immortals and gods."

"But what about reality?"

"When Xia was destroyed, the Nine Cauldrons disappeared."

"When Chaoge was burned, the Nine Cauldrons disappeared."

"When Haojing was destroyed, the Nine Cauldrons disappeared."

"Even after the demise of the Ji Zhou Dynasty, the Nine Cauldrons are still missing."

"The Nine Cauldrons are the treasures of the Human Emperor, protecting the Human King - but when the Human King has the ability to activate the Nine Cauldrons, why does he need the Nine Cauldrons to protect him?"

"When the Human King is threatened by others, where does he get the energy to activate the Nine Cauldrons?"

“So, instead of using the Nine Cauldrons as the treasure of the Emperor of Man, it is better to recast them and turn them into the treasure of the Emperor of Man.”

"Re-divide the world into nine provinces, and place a tripod in each province."

"Use the power to protect the emperor and protect the people of the nine states."

"So under the tripod of the Nine Provinces, there was no disturbance of wind and rain, and no insect pests arose."

"Then the people of the Nine Provinces will never be controlled by the gods, and will never suffer from famine, disaster or disease!"

"After Emperor Yu, the lineage of the Human Emperor was cut off. Although the Human Kings of previous generations were also heroic, how could they compare with Your Majesty?"

Li Si lowered his head.

Recasting the Nine Cauldrons - an unprecedented and extremely great idea proposed by the First Emperor.

It was this idea that completely convinced Li Si.

Today, this idea originated from the First Emperor and is underway.

The original Nine Cauldrons had been placed in various places in the Nine Provinces when the First Emperor toured the country. Then, Xianyang gathered all the wealth and soldiers in the world to recast them in order to carry the power of humanity. The outer shell of the Nine Cauldron, which would serve as the center of the Nine Provinces, was also being cast.

As long as the new Nine Cauldrons are successfully forged, the energy of humanity will be able to use the Nine Cauldrons as a 'body', flow in this world, and then play an extremely mysterious role.

This is the real goal of those alchemists in their pursuit of immortality!

"Your Majesty, someone from the Zhang family reported that Zhang Liang is missing."

"There is also news from the Heavenly Palace. Before Zhang Liang disappeared, the Four Dragon Lords went to the Zhang family."

"In my opinion, the Four Rivers Dragon Lord and that Zhang family member may be in collusion."

"Do we need to be on guard against this?" After a moment, Li Si spoke again.

"Oh?"

"It seems that there are still heroes in the world."

"Leave him alone."

"I'm waiting for him to come."
