"… Clashing with the Heavenly Court is like trying to smash a rock with an egg."
Chu Rui's words reverberated throughout the resplendent Imperial Court, instantly causing the expressions of the Ministers, who had been excited by the Prime Minister and Great General's report, to dim.
"What does Your Majesty mean?"
Bai Qi asked anxiously as he knelt on the ground.
Chu Rui smiled, not taking Bai Qi's disrespectful actions to heart. In actuality, in terms of who respected the First Emperor the most, Bai Qi was definitely in the top three. Back then, the First Emperor admired Bai Qi the most among the generals. In terms of military strategy, Wang Jian was still the best. However, Bai Qi was able to become the leader of the Generals not because the First Emperor favored him the most. Although that was one of the reasons, the main reason was because of his own abilities.
"Country wars are not child's play. As the saying goes, all wars are unorthodox. Country wars are even more terrifying than battlefields. Remember, a country war is a gamble on a country's Fate, its rise and fall, and its survival. Under such circumstances, all methods used would not be excessive. Just like a battlefield, there is only victory and defeat, nothing else. If you win, you live; if you lose, you die. If you show off for a moment, you are just a boorish man. When winning the greatest victory at the smallest cost is the highest priority. "
"If you lose in a country war, not only will your regime collapse, but countless commoners will be displaced or even turned into slaves. If you end up like this because of your own selfishness and a moment of bravery, you will be a sinner. Now, Great Qin's people are gone, but Great Qin has not perished. This is because We are here, because all of you are here. Back then, We stepped into the trap set up by Supreme Heaven for the commoners and for Great Qin. Now, all that is left of Great Qin is this underground palace. All of you are Great Qin's most precious treasure. In order for Great Qin to regain its glory and stand among the six worlds, to destroy the Heavenly Court and become the ruler of the six worlds, sacrifices are necessary. However, we have to make as few sacrifices as possible. Otherwise, so what if we take over the six worlds? If Great Qin has no people, it will be the same as no Great Qin. When the time comes, we will just be paving the way for others.
"After I left the underground palace, I coincidentally went to a world where all the heroes of the world were imprisoned. Human Sovereign Fuxi, Shennong Great Emperor, Yan Emperor, Yellow Emperor, and other ancient Virtuous Paragons were immortalized in history. However, they had also competed with countless other geniuses to climb up the ranks of godly detectives. The resentment of the geniuses who were their opponents did not disperse after their deaths. Their spirits were suppressed in a place called the World of the Tomb of Gods. Apart from them, there were also some geniuses who failed and were exiled there for various reasons. "
"Now, the Tomb of the Gods has become my territory. If those fellows were given a chance, I believe they would definitely choose to leave the Tomb of the Gods to take revenge for the humiliation they suffered all those years ago. Moreover, my son Fu Su established Great Qin in the God Tomb World with a group of old subjects. Furthermore, I have already established an alliance with the descendants of Great Emperor Pangu. Even though the Great Qin Empire is still not as powerful as the Heavenly Court, it is not a pushover. "
"They want to achieve the greatest victory with the least casualties. Great Qin had to lay low. The Heavenly Demon is about to break out of the seal. With his ambition, he will definitely attack the 36 Levels of Heaven. Although his goal is not Great Heaven, he wants to enter the 36 Levels of Heaven to find Hongjun, break through the limits of the world, break through the universe, and transcend the Chaotic World. Then, he will have to pass through the 32 Levels of Heaven where Great Heaven is and the 33 Levels of Heaven to the 35 Levels of Heaven where the Three Pure Ones are. "
"Let's not talk about those below the 32 Levels of Heaven for now. Those scattered soldiers will not be able to organize a strong resistance. However, the Heavenly Court is not to be trifled with. They will definitely resist to the end. At that time, the Three Pure Ones will definitely appear. At that time, the Heavenly Demon Realm will definitely fight with them. Both sides will suffer great losses, and we will be able to reap the benefits. "
"Therefore, during this period of time, Great Qin has to lay low, recuperate, and make preparations. When the time comes, we will be the master of the six realms. During this period of time, everyone must endure and not act rashly. Otherwise, if the plan is ruined, the 100,000 years of waiting will go up in smoke. At that time, how can we face those soldiers? "
Chu Rui said many things; this did not seem like something an Emperor should do. A true emperor had to maintain his dignity and honor in front of his subjects so that he could have the greatest authority. It was not right for him to say so much. How could an Emperor explain so much to his subjects in such detail? An Emperor was an Emperor, and he would do whatever he wanted. After all, the world was his, and they were all his subjects. If an Emperor wanted his subjects to die, his subjects had to die. There was no need for so many reasons.
However, Chu Rui was Chu Rui and not the First Emperor. Even though he was the First Emperor in his previous life, that was only his previous life. Now, he was Chu Rui. Because of the difference in time and environment, his soul was still the same, but his personality had changed. He still had some of the characteristics of the First Emperor, but he was no longer the true First Emperor.
In the First Emperor's era, there were three Emperors and five Emperors, making him the Emperor, the master of the world. However, Chu Rui's era was different. Even though some people were even more Emperors than the First Emperor, in the big picture, the First Emperor had become history. This was a world ruled by law. "Everyone is equal" was just an empty phrase, but it fooled most commoners. Even if it could not be done, this concept was deeply rooted in people's hearts and could not be changed. Rui, who had such an open mind, would never be able to be as authoritative as the First Emperor.
"Your subjects fear!"
The subjects, who had never encountered such a situation before, immediately knelt. Even the arrogant Killing God, Bai Qi, was the same. He lay on the ground with his head touching the ground, not daring to move.
"Stand up. Remember Our words. Do not act rashly, or else all your efforts will be wasted. Your 100,000 years of waiting will turn into bubbles. At that time, you will wish you were dead."
Chu Rui sighed and told everyone to stand up. He was not trying to scare them. Indeed, with the current strength of the Earth Palace and the group from the God Tomb Realm, even if they worked together, they would not be able to defeat the Heavenly Court. Even if they had not been to the Heavenly Court, they had seen enough myths in the real world. Those famous Gods were extremely powerful. Furthermore, they had the geographical advantage. How could they defeat them? If they really charged over, they would only be digging their own graves. It did not matter if he was the Master of the Six Realms or not. He had no desire for power in the first place. However, these people had waited for 100,000 years. He did not want their expectations to turn into bubbles.
