Chapter 1171 - 1171 53 Meng Shuai Joins the Army Part 9

Chapter 1171: Chapter 53 Meng Shuai Joins the Army Part 9 [Major Chapter]_4 Chapter 1171: Chapter 53 Meng Shuai Joins the Army Part 9 [Major Chapter]_4 White Rainbow was filled with sorrow and frustration.

In his view, all he sought was to preserve the royal bloodline and the title of ‘Great Qi’, which was already an acknowledgment of Great Qin’s supremacy, its unrivaled position, and the sole reverence for Qin.

And in doing so, the dynasty’s fortune of Qi Country wouldn’t completely vanish; there would be remnants left. With proper management, perhaps in a thousand years, Qi might have the chance to rise again from the east.

But the actions of Qing Ming the Great evidently aimed to wipe them out entirely, to strangle even this last hope.

“White Rainbow, what Great Qin wants this time is unification under heaven!”

Qing Ming the Great’s face was cold, “You should understand that only when the fortune of humanity is complete can it truly be called a unification. How could we allow you, Qi, to exist peacefully outside of it, still retaining a small government? That would be division!”

White Rainbow burst into rage, “But the reality is that your Qin country is invading us, can we be blamed for actively causing division?”

Qing Ming the Great said, “Therefore, there’s nothing to discuss. Let’s see the true mettle in battle.”

“Because this forthcoming unification under heaven absolutely cannot have any divisions.”

Green Wolf the Great in a gentle voice said, “White Rainbow, you should know, this grand struggle of the age is not just for the human race, but for the completeness of the human dao’s fortune, and even more so for the emergence of a true Human Emperor who can command the heavens! With the situation so clear, why bother struggling in vain?”

White Rainbow said mockingly, “The esteemed position of the Human Emperor isn’t yours to occupy, Qing Ming. Are you really so content to be a dog for your grandson?”

Qing Ming the Great said indifferently, “That’s why you don’t understand me.”

He smiled faintly, “As long as a Human Emperor arises among humanity, blessed with the fortune of the Human Emperor and thus becoming the protagonist of this world, indestructible through countless trials. Even if the heavens collapse and the seas dry up, as long as the fortune of the Human Emperor remains, humanity will never perish…”

“…and there will always be seeds left behind…”

“Just for this one goal, what does it matter if I, Qing Ming, am a dog for my grandson?”

White Rainbow sneered, “Exactly, you are noble, you are great! You’re so awesome! After all, isn’t it Qin that’s unifying the world right now? You make it sound so righteous, like a saint, but isn’t this because it serves your purpose?! If it were Qi that’s unifying the world right now, would you still be so magnanimous?”

“No!”

Qing Ming the Great said, “But I would recognize the situation and limit myself to preserving a few bloodlines, retreating into the deep mountains and forests, disappearing from the world. And there would be no more Great Qin in this world.”

“To be defeated is to lose, and when defeated, one must accept it. I, Qing Ming, still have that much breadth of spirit.”

“It’s not about personal grievances.”

“This is the trend of destiny!”

“Actions that divide the fortune of humanity cannot and must not be done!”

Green Wolf the Great said, “White Rainbow, you are also one of the Nine Colors supreme beings, a controller of a dynasty’s fortunes, yet with the situation now clear, why can’t you let go?”

“Let go? I can’t let go?”

White Rainbow laughed out loud, “Yellow Wind, Black Cloud, Dream Spirit, Hidden Blade and the others, can they just let go?”

“Yellow Wind, Black Cloud, Dream Spirit—they all let go, otherwise how could Great Qin’s unification be so swift?”

Qing Ming the Great said.

“What?”

White Rainbow’s sword energy scattered, “They all let go? Impossible, absolutely impossible!”

“Why is it impossible? As Han State fell first, we intervened to stop Yellow Wind. Once the capital of Han was breached, Yellow Wind gave up everything and disappeared.”

Qing Ming the Great said earnestly, “Black Cloud and Hidden Blade did the same.”

“Dream Spirit is preparing for war in Chu Country, and once this battle is over, I shall set out to Chu, to end that final battle.”

Qing Ming the Great said, “The reason we end it in one battle and do not entangle further is that we all understand, this is the trend of destiny, an inevitable event.”

“The trend of destiny, the inevitable trend…”

White Rainbow, dispirited, saw his offensive wane.

“Isn’t this just what should be? Throughout the many years of the Anping Continent, there has never been an era like this, filled with so many heroes and warriors, as if the heroes of all ages have gathered in this era. You understand why that is.”

Green Wolf the Great also spoke, “Do you think the demon race doesn’t know that after the humans unify, there will be a greater threat to them? Yet they stand by and watch this grand conflict between humans unfold to its end. Don’t you understand why?”

“It’s because, all kinds of factors, all kinds of stands are driving this era, pushing it to achieve an unprecedented grand unification that hasn’t been seen in thousands of years!”

“Only during a flourishing and unchallenged era can a Human Emperor arise, can the fortune of a Human Emperor come into being!”

“As guardians and carriers of a dynasty’s fortune, we understand this better than anyone. We all wished it was our own nation that could unify the world, and so there were many years of conquest.”

“But when the sweeping unification by Qin became certain, others chose to withdraw gracefully. Only you, White Rainbow, continue to stubbornly resist, unwilling to give up that bit of fortune.”

“What are you clinging to?”

“Don’t you see that for the whole world, your desire for a small, secure government is tantamount to the continuation of the previous warring states situation, and there’s still no true unification!”

“How could you think such a thing!”

Qing Ming the Great acted fast, pressuring White Rainbow to the point where he could hardly catch his breath, “Still stubbornly resisting!”

With a pfft.

White Rainbow’s shoulder was seized by Green Wolf the Great, and blood and flesh splattered.
