Chapter 397 -398 The Dynasty of Emperor Qin is Doomed
On a mountain peak at the border between Wei Guo and Qiu Country, a middle-aged man looked at the giant warship flying away in the distance, his face revealing deep concern.

Beside the middle-aged man, a woman looked at the expression on his face and asked, “Hall Master, Wei Guo and Qiu Country are about to be destroyed, and our years of dreams are about to come true. Why are your brows still furrowed?”
This middle-aged man was none other than the Hall Master of the Life Palace, an secretive organization of talented youths from the commoners of Wei Guo and Qiu Country. His name was Leng Wuyi, the son of an old farmer in a town of Wei Guo.
As for the woman, she was the current Vice Hall Master of Life Palace, a native of Qiu Country, named Qiu Xian.
Leng Wuyi looked at the slowly disappearing behemoth and pointed at the metallic monster soaring in the sky, telling Qiu Xian beside him, “Look, that is a war machine from the Huaxia Empire. To build four such war beasts, so much Soul Ore and Soul Crystals must be consumed. The people of the Huaxia Empire must not be faring any better!”
“I worry that once Wei Guo and Qiu Country are destroyed, the Huaxia Empire might be the next power to feast on the flesh of its people.”
Hearing Leng Wuyi’s concerns, Qiu Xian also sighed. She had the same worries but had been avoiding thinking about them.
Looking at the distant giant warship, Qiu Xian took a gamble and said, “I only hope the Huaxia Empire can be a bit better, allowing the common people to live normally, not like now, treated like livestock.”
“The situation in the Qin Dynasty is different from that of Wei Guo and Qiu Country. Their people have no hope at all. Now I hope the Huaxia Empire can prevail, yet I also hope they don’t.” Leng Wuyi looked into the distance, his expression complex. “If they win, the people of the Qin Dynasty might see some hope, but I fear the Huaxia Empire will be no different from the Qin Dynasty. It might be better if they don’t succeed.”
Qiu Xian nodded in agreement and said to Leng Wuyi, “The best outcome would be the Huaxia Empire severely weakening themselves after defeating the Qin Dynasty, allowing us a chance to catch our breath.”
“Let’s hope so!” Leng Wuyi nodded slightly, his face showing a hint of melancholy, “Unfortunately, whether it’s dynasties, Great Countries, sects, or family powers, none truly prioritize the common people. Some are just not as harsh, while others, like the Qin Dynasty, Wei Guo, and Qiu Country, are tyrannical.”
However, neither Leng Wuyi nor Qiu Xian expected that their conversation was being closely watched by a little bird in the nearby tree, and everything was being conveyed to the Heavenly Art Department of the Huaxia Empire.
Bang!
“Damn, these two really don’t know what’s good for them. If His Majesty hadn’t ordered us to not trouble you, who would tolerate you speaking ill of His Majesty behind his back?” Zhuge Ming from the Heavenly Art Department shouted angrily, and he reported this matter to Lin Qian.
Hearing Zhuge Ming’s report, Lin Qian found it somewhat amusing to message his Prime Minister, “Their concerns are understandable, but Life Palace’s intentions aren’t bad. In time, they will willingly become citizens of the Huaxia Empire.”
Lin Qian’s words stunned Zhuge Ming, who then suppressed the thrill in his heart and promised to remain quiet.
For a long time, Lin Qian had been reluctant to refer to himself as “I”, which caused great worry throughout the Huaxia Empire, as if a sword was hanging over their heads.
They deeply feared that one day Lin Qian would tell them he no longer wished to be the Emperor of Huaxia, his dismissive attitude towards imperial power filling them with anxiety.
The emperor is supreme, imperial power is sacrosanct!
Zhuge Ming was relieved that his emperor had finally grasped this concept and could barely contain his joy, rushing to spread this good news throughout the Huaxia Empire.
In an instant, the Huaxia Empire burst into jubilant cheers, wildly excited, no longer having to worry that Lin Qian would leave.
Lin Qian was aware of what was happening within the Huaxia Empire and understood why everyone was worried that he would not become Emperor. Evidently, after transiting to another world, the Empire began treating events from the previous life’s game as real life.
In the game of the past life, when the Huaxia Empire wasn’t as strong, people like Zhuge Ming, who were now the top existences in the Empire, were very weak. Many players whose allocated territories bordered the Huaxia Empire would give up on the game and stop playing.
Often at such times, the empires deserted by their players would fall into disrepair and decline at an alarming rate; Lin Qian would unhesitatingly seize those territories for his own.
Zhuge Ming and others also worried that Lin Qian, like other players, would abandon the game, relinquish the Huaxia Empire, and forsake them.
A nostalgic expression appeared on Lin Qian’s face, reminiscent of the days he had strived in the game world. The joy each new advanced unit brought him and the excitement of continuously training and upgrading generals like Zhuge Ming and Zhao Long.
“Now I’m in an otherworld, and all of you have become genuine entities. It’s impossible to quit the game now.”
With those thoughts silently in his mind, Lin Qian moved to the forefront of the battleship, overlooking the city they had just conquered.
“I am the Emperor of the Huaxia Empire, and from now on, you will be my subjects.”
The people in the city below, looking at the massive metal beast and the Imperial Army searching for remnants of the city’s guards, knelt down to the young and noble figure in fear and anxiety.
However, the apprehensive people could never imagine the wonderful life that the man they knelt to out of fear would bring them.
The events that had unfolded in the Qin Dynasty spread wildly throughout the Southern Domain like madness, startling numerous powerful rulers who could not believe the news they received.
The surrounding five states of Coastal State, along with three bizarre states from the Southern Nine Provinces of the Southern Domain, voluntarily joined the Empire following a visit by the Empress of the Huaxia Empire, Ye Xin!
Wei Guo and Qiu Country were already mostly conquered, their capitals nearly breached. Their doom was likely only a matter of time.
The Qin Dynasty’s West Eight States had already seen two states fall, and the third coastal state would probably soon be seized by the Huaxia Empire. The Eight-Armed Sea Clan had a huge victory in the seas, as they had Aquatic Soul Beasts clad in heavy armor aiding their assaults, making the enemy no match for them.
The Eight-Armed Sea Clan had already begun sending people to assist five enormous entities in attacking the Qin Dynasty from the western coast of the dynasty.
The elders of the three southern powers obediently followed Lin Qian’s command, collectively aiding the Huaxia Empire’s Imperial Army in attacking the southern eight provinces of the Qin Dynasty—four provinces had already completely fallen.
The Huaxia Empire had somehow set various traps within the Qin Dynasty’s own territory; as soon as any troops from the Qin Dynasty appeared, they would trigger horrifying Soul Power attacks.
With the Qin Dynasty’s thirty-two provinces full of forests and rivers, there were always hidden ambushes by the Huaxia Empire’s Imperial Army, making the battlefield ever larger as the number of people on the Huaxian side increased.
At this moment, everyone had one feeling in their hearts—the Qin Dynasty was probably finished.
