Chapter 117: Where Do You Come From?
e!If one is a powerful being who has attained perfection in the divine realm, and can comprehend such a precious treasure, there is a certain chance that they will gain enlightenment from its mysterie...This is the day.

The first emperor of Qin, a revered figure who established the imperial court and ascended to the throne as the Emperor of Humanity.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
This day.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Ancestral bloodline awakens, and heaven and earth’s spiritual energy revives.
This day.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Emperor bestowed a royal decree.
This day is the first year of the imperial court.
>Inside the grand palace hall.
Gu Xing, now the emperor, sat upon his throne. Beside him sat Shen Changqing.
Below.
All the ministers gathered together.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
Besides the original civil and military officials, there were also other people.
The Lord of Jincheng is Mo Zijin.
Barbarians and barbarian gods.
King Liang, Yang Yi.
>King You of Yue, Cangbei.
The two had previously been under house arrest in the capital of Qin for many years until ten years ago when they were finally able to return to Daliang and Dayue.
But this time, the imperial court was established, and the two had to go back to Qin again.
Though the Imperial Court stands, the human race is now divided in its territories and not truly united. Therefore, this Emperor believes that it is time to redraw the borders of the human race, to ensure our safety and prosperity!
Then Gu Xingping spoke in a calm voice.
This is what the text translates to:
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
After becoming the emperor, his realm also broke through to the celestial human level accordingly.
Moreover.
The dignity that comes naturally to him has become much more intense than before.
Upon hearing this.
All the officials bowed their heads in silence.
>
Gu Xing looked at the person on his left and asked, "What do you think, Shen Zhen"
"This matter should be decided by the Emperor himself."
Shen Changqing shook his head, with no intention of interfering in these matters.
Upon seeing this.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
Gu Xing nodded and then turned his gaze to the officials below: "This emperor intends to divide the world into five parts. The original territory of the Qin Dynasty will be the Central Plains, the territory of Da Yue will be the Northern Territory, the barbarian lands will be the Southern Territory, Daliang will be the Eastern Territory, and Dazhou will be the Western Territory."
Five directions vast domain!
Upon hearing this, many people exchanged glances with each other.
It is clear to all that the old names of Qin, Liang, and Yue have been discontinued and replaced with the unified title "Great Domain." This change is intended to erase the influence of past powers, placing everything under the authority of the imperial court.
Given the current state of the court, these matters have no bearing.
"Cao Bei, step forward and listen to the imperial decree!"
Suddenly changing the topic, Gu Xing turned serious and boomed.
Upon hearing this.
King Yue Cangbei immediately stepped forward and bowed deeply: “Cangbei obeys!”
“You are the Black Emperor, ruling over the vast Northern Territory!”
A chill ran down Cang Bei's spine, and immediately he accepted the order.
The so-called Beizhou Great Territory was originally the territory of Dayue. Now that the other party has enfeoffed himself as the Black Emperor, allowing him to control the Beizhou Great Territory, it is a disguised form of empowerment.
As for this.
He was shocked, but more than that, he felt grave.
>
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Ancient Times dared to delegate power.
To a large extent, it shows that the other party is not at all worried about being overthrown.
Or, saying.
If one dares to have any rebellious thoughts, they will surely be able to suppress them at the first opportunity.
That's why the other party directly enfeoffed himself as the Black Emperor, ruling over the vast region of Zhongzhou.
> Not only was Cangbei astonished.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Even if the other officials heard this news afterward, they were all shocked.
Some courtiers even wanted to speak out against it.
When faced with the stern gaze of antiquity, all the words about to be spoken were swallowed back.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“Yang Yi stepped forward and listened to the order!”
"Yang Yi, obey!"
King Liang Yang Yi stepped forward.
Gu Xing said: "You are the Azure Emperor, sitting in the Eastern State!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Yang Yi suppressed the turmoil in his heart and retreated again.
“Mount Gushan, step forward and listen to the decree!”
As soon as these words were spoken.
All the officials were startled.
Everyone's face was etched with disbelief.
Including Man Shen, everyone's faces showed astonishment upon hearing this.
You know.
Although he is one of the few god-tier powerhouses among humans.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But because of the barbarians, the human race has always been rather distant from itself.
>
With this in mind, Gushen still stepped forward: "Gushen obeys!"
“You are the Red Emperor, seated in the vast region of the south!”
Man Shen solemnly accepts the order.
>
Not until he had stepped down did Gu Xing turn his gaze to the last man.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
“The Emperor of the East comes forward to receive his investiture!”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Attend the imperial decree!"
Dongfang Zhao, who had been silent all along, changed his expression slightly, then immediately stepped forward.
>
Gu Xing said, "You are the White Emperor, seated in the Western region."
The eastern envoy bowed deeply to accept the imperial decree.
"Furthermore, Gu Xing continued, "The human race has achieved what it is today thanks largely to the contributions of the Demonic Suppression Division. Although the imperial court is now established, the Demonic Suppression Division remains indispensable. From today onwards, a Demonic Suppression Division will be established in each of the Five Great Regions."
The White Emperor issued an Eastern edict appointing a person to be the Commander of the Demon Suppression Bureau, overseeing all Demon Suppression Bureaus throughout the land.
"We understand!"
This is a placeholder for a paragraph of text.You can replace this with your own content.
All the officials bowed and replied in unison.
Then.
Then someone addressed the Eastern Emperor, saying: “Congratulations to the White Emperor!”
As they talked, many people couldn't hide their envy.
He is the Lord of a realm, reigning over the vast region of Xi Zhou.
Now he is once again the head of the Demon Suppressing Division, commanding all Demon Suppressing Divisions across the land.
Although the other party was the head of the Demon Suppression Division, at that time, they were merely the head of the Qin Dynasty's Demon Suppression Division. The Demon Suppression Divisions of the other two countries nominally submitted to the Qin Dynasty's Demon Suppression Division, but they were not actually under its jurisdiction.
Up to now.
The Imperial Edict has been issued.
Then everything made sense.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It can be said.
This is a test.
Currently, among the Four Heavenly Kings, Dong Fang Zhao holds the most power.
To this, others could also accept.
After all, Dongfang Zhang was originally a subject of the Qin Dynasty and dedicated his life to it. Now that Emperor Qin has ascended to become the Human Emperor, it is only natural for him to benefit from this fortune.
Compared to the other three imperial figures, only this Bai Emperor, Dongfang Zhao, is truly endearing.
Shen Changqing listened to Gu Xing's words, and his heart also secretly nodded.
Among the Four Heavenly Kings, Yang Yi, Cangbei, and Gushan were already very familiar with the situation in Daliang, Dayue, and Manhuang. Having them stationed there would solve any problems, whether it was governing the people or anything else.
As for the Eastern Emperor's decree, conferring upon him the title of White Emperor is also quite suitable.
Once upon a time, Dazhou, now the vast territory of Xizhou, has witnessed the emergence of ancient lineages. The spiritual energy there is the most potent, and it will be, after Zhongzhou, the region with the most formidable strength and potential in the future.
Such a place, whoever you send there is not suitable.
Only when Dongfang Zhi sits in charge of the Xizhou region will it be the best choice.
In terms of loyalty, there are no problems, and the ability is also sufficient.
As for the other three imperial lords.
If this were the imperial court of Qin rather than that of humanity, they would absolutely not be qualified to become emperors.
As leaders of the Liang, Yue, and even barbarian tribes, how could they willingly submit to the Qin Dynasty Their initial submission was merely due to the Qin's overwhelming power.
But now, the Imperial Court is not the Qin Empire's court, but the Human Race's imperial court. In essence, it's completely different.
They can betray the Qin, but they have no possibility of betraying humanity.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
If that's really what you want to do.
It will be universally despised.
Additionally.
In the ancestral halls of the human race tens of millions of years ago, there were five emperors. Now, ancient times only enfeoffed four emperors, and Shen Changqing could see the reason.
The central plains are vast, there is no need for an emperor to exist.
The presence of the emperor himself here is the greatest guarantee.
Please note that I only translated the content within the > tags. The HTML tags themselves were not translated.
Besides.
If one were to truly bestow upon a domain within Zhongzhou the title of Emperor, I imagine no one would be willing to accept it.
After all, the other emperors directly governed their respective domains. However, in the Zhongzhou Region, with the presence of the Human Emperor, even an emperor held no authority whatsoever.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
In that case.
Then there would be no need to appoint an emperor to rule the Central Plains if one were already enthroned elsewhere.
The court meeting will soon be over.
When the imperial court was first established, many things were not accomplished overnight. They needed to be done step by step gradually.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Dividing the five great regions first is just the beginning.
As for what happened later, that's a story for another time.
When all the officials had departed.
In the main hall.
The newly enthroned Four Emperors left behind.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Gu Xing said: "The person who interfered when the imperial court was first established has already been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. What are your thoughts on this matter"
Upon hearing this.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Everyone looked at each other in surprise.
Yang Yi pondered for a moment before expressing his opinion: "From the person's displayed strength, it can be seen that he is already at the peak among humans. If he were a strong expert within the heavens and earth, there would be no news at all."
"I believe he very likely comes from beyond the heavens."
After finishing his words, he looked at Shen Changqing.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!
Of all the people here today, only he has been to the heavens.
Shen Changqing nodded slightly: "Qingdi's words are not entirely impossible, but now among the various heavens outside, the human race is hostile to all races. There has been no trace of the human race for a long time."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Even if I were in a different realm, if there was no formation to conceal my celestial energy, I would certainly not be able to escape the scrutiny of all races.
Therefore, the possibility that he came from outer space exists, but it is not very high, especially since he happened to appear at that time, which seems too much of a coincidence.
"Shen Zhen Shou was right."
Gu Shan nodded.
After that, he shook his head again: “But if this person isn't from outside the heavens, the possibility of him existing within this world is also small. After all, to enter the God Realm requires faith power.”
Without faith, there is no possibility of entering the realm of gods.
Of course, if it were the systems practiced by Shen Zhen and Bai Di, there wouldn't be a need for faith power. But on that person, I could sense the aura of divine belief.
That wouldn't make sense.
The situation outside is tense, and the human race is keeping a low profile.
Within the world, one needs faith to establish a divine realm. A powerful being in the divine realm who wants to hide themselves is simply impossible.
And—
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Gu Shan spoke in a low voice: “Judging from the last move he used, if I’m not mistaken, it involved the level of a God King.”
Those who reached that level of power, in the history of our human race ten thousand years ago, only the Primordial Emperor could achieve it. Before the Primordial Emperor's birth, for tens of thousands of years, there had never been any mention of such powerful individuals existing.
After he spoke, the scene fell silent for a moment.
For a long while.
The Eastern Imperial Envoy suddenly spoke, “You say, is there a possibility that it came from the Heavenly Realm...”
"Celestial Realm"
Hearing this, everyone's face changed slightly.
What the other party said was something they had never thought of before.
Here is the translated text:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Demon Suppression Division has always been researching the Heavenly Realm, but the Heavenly Realm is too mysterious. There hasn't been much progress, only suspicion that there is some kind of powerful formation in the Heavenly Realm, which is why people can't stay there for long.
However, we outsiders cannot stay in the Heavenly Realm for long, but ferocious beasts have always existed within it.
"If there truly were any powerful human warriors hidden there, it wouldn't be entirely impossible."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Eastern Emperor stated his deduction.
The most mysterious place in the world right now is the Heavenly Realm.
Here's the translation without HTML tags:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Gushan nodded slightly: "The Heavenly Realm is indeed very mysterious. Even when the Emperor Yuan was alive tens of thousands of years ago, he explored the Heavenly Realm, but unfortunately, he didn't find any useful clues."
But one thing is for sure, there are many powerful lineages within the Heavenly Realm.
Here is the translation of your text:
Back then, some ordinary people who unexpectedly entered the Heavenly Realm, after receiving those inheritances, mostly became top-tier powerhouses.
The existence time of the Heavenly Realm is already beyond reckoning.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Even Mount Gushan cannot confirm how many years the Heavenly Realm has existed.
“Could it be from the Celestial Realm We’ll just have to ask and find out.”
Then Shen Changqing suddenly smiled and looked at Gu Xing.
“I’ll take care of this. What do you think, Xinghuang”
"People were captured by Zhen Shou, it's natural for Zhen Shou to handle them."
>
Gu Xing did not refuse.
It's also good to interrogate them properly, preferably getting some useful information out of their mouths.
Otherwise.
A mysterious powerful being from the divine realm, was like a blade hanging over his head, making him uneasy.
After all, a mere divine realm is nothing to speak of. The imperial court has the strength to suppress it.
But the forces behind the Divine Realm are not so simple.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Especially since the other party used means at the level of a Divine King, it indicates that there is very likely a living Divine King behind them.
...and this.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Still the most conservative estimate.
If we don't make a conservative estimate, there might even be a second, or even third Divine King.
>
That way.
The imperial court had better be prepared.
>
From the circumstances surrounding the young man's emergence, it appears that the other party is very hostile towards the imperial court.
Since this matter is of great importance, Shen Changqing was willing to take personal action and look into it, which gave Gu Xing peace of mind.
The dungeon.
This place
The first two, as long as it is mainly to imprison demons.
The latter imprisoned were all major criminals of the imperial court.
That can be said.
But anyone who is thrown into the Heavenly Prison has basically no chance of survival. Either they will be kept here until death, or they will be pushed to the midday gate and beheaded.
"It's time for dinner!"
Yang Hong shoved the food directly into the cell.
In the cell before him lay a young man covered in blood. If not for the slight rise and fall of his chest, one might have mistaken him for dead.
As for this.
Yang Hong didn't care either.
As a jailer in the dungeon, he had seen too many people die inside. Those who entered the dungeon were either heinous criminals or those who committed terrible crimes, no matter what kind. They were all destined to die.
Early death or late death, there is no difference.
"Wait!"
As Yang Hong was about to turn and leave, a weak voice came from behind.
He paused, turning to face the other person.
This is the time.
>
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The young man struggled to sit up from the ground, leaning his back against the wall. Though his voice was weak, his eyes were bright and alive.
“Do me a favor, and you can have anything you want.”
"You're barely keeping yourself afloat, and you're still spouting such tall tales"
Yang Hongchi chuckled.
He doesn't believe a word about young people.
If it were somewhere else, if a condemned prisoner were to ask for something before their death, perhaps they could get some benefit from it.
However.
But the dungeon was different.
Every person imprisoned here is burdened with a grave crime. Anyone who associates with them in any way risks being implicated.
In the past, there were not a few prison guards who privately accepted bribes from prisoners in the Heaven Prison.
But the best outcome would be to be stripped of my position and thrown directly into the heavenly prison.
For those who are unlucky, their fate will be decapitation.
So.
Even if the other party could produce something, Yang Hong wouldn't dare to touch it.
“I am Ji Ying, the Holy Son of Heavenly Dao Sect. You only need to spread the news of my imprisonment to Heavenly Dao Sect. When I come out, I will definitely take you into the sect, giving you the opportunity to step into the Divine Dao and enjoy a lifespan of ten thousand years.”
In this case, wouldn't it be ten thousand times better than being just a lowly jailer here"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The young man, or rather the one whom Ji Ying had beguiled into speaking.
In his view, the other party had no reason to refuse.
Unknown how many people have racked their brains, all wanting to join the Heavenly Dao Sect, but none have a way in.
To have the opportunity to directly enter the Heavenly Dao Sect is a blessing cultivated over several lifetimes. No ordinary person would refuse such an opportunity.
But.
Ji Ying was destined to be disappointed.
>
Yang Hong heard this, his eyes looked at him like he was an idiot: "If you could give me anything, you wouldn't be locked up here. Spare me the charade. Maybe you still have a chance to die of old age in prison."
If you act recklessly, you will be beheaded at the midday gate tomorrow.
That's all I have to say.
He turned and left at once.
Such a fool, it's really best not to talk to him much.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
If you bring yourself into it, then things will get complicated.
It doesn't matter if I die, what matters is that my family depends on my salary to survive.
"You…"
Ji Ying was furious.
His chest heaved violently, and his wounds ached with each breath. Blood welled up in his throat and he coughed it out.
"Once I leave, I'll definitely grind you to dust...cough cough!"
Ji Ying clutched her chest, staring intently at Yang Hong's back.
How long has it been
A mere ant dares to be disrespectful to me.
As the Holy Son of Heavenly Dao Sect, even other Gods would have to treat me with respect.
But.
Even if Ji Ying was furious in her heart, there was nothing she could do about it.
He had a seal left by Shen Changqing on his body, a seal that sealed all his power, as if it had vanished into thin air.
Otherwise.
Just these wounds on his body, for a powerhouse at the God Realm, wouldn't take even a breath to recover completely.
On the other side, Yang Honggang hadn't walked far from his cell when he saw several people walking towards him.
When he saw the person at the front, his expression visibly froze for a moment before quickly recovering. He hastily bowed in greeting.
"Shen Zhenghou!"
Yang Hong couldn't understand.
Given their status, why would they be in a place like this prison
>
When he was paying his respects, the person behind him said, "Yang Hong, has there been any trouble with the prisoners who were detained yesterday"
Everything is normal.
Yang Hong hastily replied.
>
He recognized that the speaker was the official who was in charge of the prison.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Upon hearing this, the official waved his hand to signal him away. Then, he strode over to Shen Changqing's side in three quick steps, his expression humble: "Lord Garrison Commander, that person is at the innermost part of the Heavenly Prison. This subordinate will take you there right now!"
>
"No, I can go by myself. You should get back to what you were doing."
Shen Changqing raised his hand to refuse.
Upon hearing this.
The official wanted to say something, but in the end he just nodded. "Yes!"
Inside the cell.
Ji Ying leaned against the wall, sitting cross-legged and quietly adjusting her breath to cultivate herself.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Although there is a seal on me now, it's not impossible to break free. As long as I use the cultivation techniques of the Heaven Dao Sect to forcibly gather spiritual energy, with time, I will naturally be able to try and shatter the seal.
As for the food beside him, he didn't even glance at it.
As the Holy Son of Heaven's Path Sect, he usually ate top-grade spiritual materials and had never tasted anything as common as what even low-ranking disciples would disdain.
Even if I were penniless and starving on the streets, I wouldn't eat a single bite.
When Shen Changqing arrived at the front of the cell, he saw the other party sitting cross-legged.
He could see that the other party was trying to invoke the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish themselves.
In fact.
It's all in vain.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
The seal I set is unbreakable unless a God King level expert intervenes.
Tell me about your background!
>
Shen Changqing slowly opened his mouth, breaking the surrounding silence.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Ji Ying suddenly opened her eyes and saw Shen Changqing standing in front of her cell. Her heart skipped a beat.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
He still remembers.
>
The opponent only struck once, and the divine king's avatar was instantly destroyed.
There is no doubt.
This is definitely a powerhouse of the god king level.
Having thought of this.
Ji Ying frowned, her face turning cold: "I didn't expect the outside world to have someone as powerful as you. But you better release me quickly. The strength of the Heavenly Dao Sect is not something a single God King can withstand."
If we wait for the powerful masters of my Dao Heaven Sect to arrive, it will be a scene of rivers of blood.
Even you, there won't be a good ending...Ah!"
Before he could finish his words, his left hand was severed at the wrist, blood spurting out. The excruciating pain contorted his face.
Shen Changqing took a step forward, and the cell seemed to be nonexistent as he easily entered it.
Standing before Ji Ying, he looked down at her with an air of superiority.
"You seem to have misunderstood something. Right now, you're nothing but a prisoner at my feet. Be careful when you speak, or I can't guarantee that I won't get irritated and crush you sometime."
A tranquil tone, yet harboring utmost coldness within.
Ji Ying's heart trembled, she covered her shoulder where the arm had been severed, her face now pale and ghastly.
“Help...save me!”
He felt his life slipping away.
If I don't receive treatment, I will very likely become the first deity to fall due to blood loss.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
After being sealed away.
>
Now, Ji Ying is no different from ordinary people.
As he watched the blood flow out more and more, his life force flickering like a candle in the wind, about to be extinguished at any moment, Shen Changqing finally took action to stop the bleeding.
"This is a warning, I hope you will be more tactful in the future."
Ji Ying remained silent, only clutching his shattered arm with his hand. But the fear on his face spoke volumes.
Shen Changqing said, "The first question, where are you from"
Please note that the provided text " >" already contained HTML tags, and I have only translated the content within the tags.
Just as Ji Ying was about to speak, he warned her again.
"Don't try to lie to me. You should know that lying is impossible to hide from me."
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
“I... I am from the Heaven's Path Sect.”
Ji Ying's voice was weak, and she dared not say another word. She answered honestly.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
