Ten years later.

Great Qin dispatched iron cavalry to attack Zhao Country, crushing through defenses with ease, and quickly reached Handan.

King Zhao of Zhao, seeking revenge for the actions of Qin Country, sent a large army to surround and kill Ying Zheng's father in a burst of fury.

But his father, having secretly plotted with Lv Buwei, had already left his residence before the Zhao army arrived and managed to escape from Handan City through connections previously established by Lv Buwei.

Afterward, he returned to Qin State Capital Xianyang with the help of the invading Great Qin army.

Upon learning of this, the wife of King Xiao Wen of Qin, Lady Huayang, quickly sent for Ying Zheng's father's entire household and took him in as her adopted son, indirectly securing his position as the future heir to Great Qin.

This brought great excitement to the members of the Myriad Races.

"Hahaha! Our plans of more than a hundred thousand years are finally coming to fruition!"

"Qin Country, apart from the Zhou royal family and Wei Country, is a power controlled by the Human Race! But now that Ying Zheng's father has become the future Crown Prince of Great Qin, Qin Country will also be under our control!"

"Hehehe, Shang Tang could never have imagined that Ying Zheng's father is a reincarnation of a powerful demon of our Demon Race, and even Lv Buwei, who escorted Ying Zheng's father back to Qin, is a reincarnation of one of our Demon Race's powerful beings!"

"Once we gain control over Qin Country, the remaining Wei Country and the Zhou royal family won't be a concern at all!"

"The Human Race will eventually be divided by our Myriad Races, and Shang Tang won't be able to stop it!"

"..."

The members of the Myriad Races rejoiced secretly upon seeing further breakthroughs in their plans.

Slow and steady wins the race, though slow, the effects are profound.

This is countless times stronger than the radical methods of the past.

Meanwhile, Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji, who were abandoned in Zhao State Handan Capital City, quietly left Handan under Ye Hao's secret guidance, without causing any ripples.

Their sudden disappearance caused quite a stir and shock among the higher echelons of Zhao Country, but compared to Ying Zheng's father's successful return to his home country, it paled in significance and was not worth mentioning!

However, Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji, who disappeared from Zhao State Capital City, did not return to Great Qin nor appear before the public, as if they had vanished into the Primordial Human Realm.

But half a year later, a major event occurred in Qin Country; King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Ying Ji, suddenly died violently on his dragon bed.

The next day, King Xiao Wen ascended the throne.

However, three days after his succession, King Xiao Wen also died mysteriously on his dragon bed, causing panic and fear throughout Great Qin.

In the end, the adopted son of Lady Huayang, Ying Zheng's father, unexpectedly rose to prominence and ascended the throne as the new king of Great Qin.

Thereafter, he initiated drastic reforms within Great Qin, with many strong individuals of the Human Race being exiled on fabricated charges or demoted in secret, placed in redundant positions.

Meanwhile.

Many rising stars were appointed by Ying Zheng's father, filling various key positions.

Among them was Lv Buwei, who escorted Ying Zheng's father back to Great Qin. He was appointed by Ying Zheng's father as Great Qin Prime Minister and given the title of Marquis Wenxin, overseeing all affairs of the Qin Country.

It was also during this period that Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji, having disappeared for so long, quietly entered Qin Country's territory.

However, instead of heading directly to Qin State Capital Xianyang with Zhao Ji, they went to a city called "Nanzheng."

Because his mentor, Ye Hao, was there waiting for him.

There, besides meeting Ye Hao, he also encountered many figures who should not have been there.

Such as the Killing God Bai Qi, whom King Zhaoxiang of Qin had ordered to be executed, the long-retired Great Qin Military God Zhang Jiao, Gongsun Yan who had disappeared for over a thousand years, Ying Clan kinsman Ying Ji, and the famous general Sima Cuo, among others.

"Is he the one you mentioned?"

"He doesn't look very impressive, does he?"

"Ordinary and unremarkable, is he really as miraculous as you said?!"

"How could a person chosen by Your Majesty be mediocre?!"

"True! His Majesty's judgment has never been wrong, this lad may look ordinary, but since he was chosen by His Majesty, he must possess extraordinary qualities we're unaware of!"

"Our Myriad Races are stealing the Qi Fortune of the Human Race, and it's up to him to save the Human Race! Let us also lend a hand!"

"..."

While Ying Zheng was sizing up Bai Qi and others, these former bigwigs were also assessing Ying Zheng, openly commenting on him without the slightest concern for his presence.

"..."

Ying Zheng's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

These bigwigs were truly... inhuman!

They were completely inconsiderate of his feelings as the person in question. It was... frustrating!

At the same time, from their conversations, he learned of some unknown things.

The Myriad Races of the heavens were stealing the Qi Fortune of the Human Race and had already taken over a significant part of the Human World; even within the territory of Qin Country, there were countless members of the Myriad Races lurking.

"Weren't the Myriad Races of the heavens supposed to have been eradicated by the Fierce Empress tens of thousands of years ago? How could they have made a comeback and taken over half of the Human Race's territory?"

Ying Zheng wanted to ask these bigwigs what was happening, but they were engrossed in their own discussions and not a single one paid attention to him.

Eventually, he had to turn to his mentor, Ye Hao, hoping he could explain the reasons.

As if Ye Hao had telepathy with Ying Zheng, he gave him a profound and inscrutable look when Ying Zheng's gaze met his.

"Sit!"

Ye Hao pointed to an empty seat on the left, indicating for Ying Zheng to sit first.

"Yes!"

Ying Zheng nodded and bowed slightly to the senior bigwigs around him, then sat in the seat indicated by Ye Hao.

Ye Hao smiled faintly.

With a wave of his right hand.

An immense Great Array quietly descended, enveloping their area and blocking any information from reaching the outside.

"Primordial used to be a complete Continent, with stars in the sky as dense as rain, but an unprecedented great battle occurred more than a hundred thousand years ago, resulting in the shattering of Primordial, the collapse of stars, and the current landscape left to us today!"
