Chapter 264: Chapter 264 Great Qin! Qin Emperor!

"Ah—"

A woman beneath the Vermilion Bird platform exclaimed in shock; it wasn’t just her, hundreds of others cried out in fright. If something were to happen to Qin Jun on the day of his ascension, it would be a disaster for the Qianyue Kingdom.

Evening Star and the others weren’t panicking because this was all planned beforehand. The original idea was to have the warriors kill the demon beast as an offering to the heavens, but Qin Jun wanted to act on his own initiative. Luckily, he possessed the fifth level of cultivation in the Ascending Mortal Realm, so they had no objections.

"Roar—"

The demonic pig charged at Qin Jun with a bellow. They were initially very close, and in the blink of an eye, Qin Jun swung his right hand, and the dragon qi suddenly turned and entwined around the demonic pig. Then he clenched his right hand violently, and the dragon qi brutally tore the demonic pig to pieces, splattering flesh and blood everywhere.

Boom!

The citizens, cultivators, and soldiers were instantly excited. Even though the scene was bloody, it was heart-stirring at this moment.

"King Yue!"

"Long live King Yue!"

"A monster through ages, a remarkable ruler for eternity!"

Over a million people shouted hoarsely, their voices thundering, making even the most indifferent hearts surge with fiery blood.

At that moment, Qin Jun suddenly noticed a mist-like qi streaming towards him from every corner around the Vermilion Bird platform. He subconsciously glanced at Evening Star and the others, and they seemed not to see it.

Chant—

The dragon qi within Qin Jun’s body uncontrollably overflowed his skin, condensed into a Three-clawed Golden Dragon above his head, and started absorbing the peculiar white qi coming from all directions.

Could it be...

Qin Jun slightly opened his mouth, a look of excitement on his face because he could feel his dragon qi growing stronger.

Under the pouring of the white qi, the Three-clawed Golden Dragon grew larger and larger, quickly reaching ten meters in length and still growing. This scene made the million people around the Vermilion Bird platform even more excited, with most of them shouting until their faces turned red.

"His Highness’s dragon qi is growing rapidly!"

Zhuge Liang exclaimed with wide eyes, causing Evening Star to look over in surprise. This guy actually knew about dragon qi?

Lei Zhenzi and the others didn’t speak, but from Zhuge Liang’s words and the changes in the Three-clawed Golden Dragon above Qin Jun’s head, it was clear that Qin Jun was benefiting.

Before long, the Three-clawed Golden Dragon began to grow a fourth claw, which made Qin Jun even more thrilled.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for condensing a Four-clawed Golden Dragon, you have been rewarded with an upgrade in level!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the sixth level of the Ascending Mortal Realm!"

Two consecutive system notification sounds rang out, making Qin Jun even more happy. He quickly asked in his mind, "System, why is my dragon qi growing?"

"The growth of the dragon qi is related to faith and qi movement. There is no specific method of cultivation. Right now, so many citizens are shouting for you. In their hearts, you are their belief. The power of belief gathers, making your dragon qi thrive and grow."

The system’s response left Qin Jun astonished; it seemed that he could not afford to be an incompetent ruler in the future. Otherwise, if the citizens didn’t believe in him, his dragon qi would not be able to grow.

No wonder the dragon qi of the Luo Emperor is so powerful — the population of the Imperial Dynasty is far greater than that of any kingdom.

Jia Xun stepped forward and at the same time signaled to Lei Zhenzi with his eyes. Lei Zhenzi understood and let out a long howl, drowning out all other voices and restoring silence to the land.

The Four-clawed Golden Dragon above Qin Jun’s head was still growing steadily, now thirty meters long and as lively as a real dragon, circling without stop.

"This is the fort-second year of Qianyue, our previous emperor has unfortunately passed away. Destiny cannot be declined, the sacred regalia cannot be left unused, the ministers cannot be without a leader, and the grand affairs cannot be without governance. The Third Prince, Qin Jun, has achieved unparalleled merits, repeatedly saving the kingdom from dire calamities. He is the people’s choice. Today, the Third Prince ascends the throne to become emperor, and he shall be known as Qin Emperor!"

"From this day forward, the Qianyue Kingdom shall be renamed Great Qin, and this year shall be the first year of Great Qin!"

Jia Xun shouted passionately, making all listeners’ blood boil.

Qin Emperor!

Great Qin Kingdom!

The citizens, cultivators, and soldiers were all wildly excited; the civil and military officials felt the same way. Undeniably, the name Qin Jun chose carried great prestige. Great Qin Kingdom sounded more imposing than Qianyue Kingdom, and Qin Emperor sounded even more domineering than Qian Emperor.

"Long live our emperor, for eternity and beyond!"

Nan Meng suddenly yelled at the top of his voice, and before the officials on the Vermilion Bird platform could even stand up, they too joined in the chant: "Long live our emperor, for eternity and beyond!"

Li Yuanba, Red Boy, and Lei Zhenzi’s voices stood out among the crowd, prompting all the soldiers around the Vermilion Bird platform to kneel and chant along. The citizens and cultivators did the same, the shouts spread like waves from the center of the Vermilion Bird platform in all directions, an incredibly grand and heart-stirring sight.

"Long live our emperor, for eternity and beyond!"

Over a million people kept shouting this phrase, bowing and kowtowing toward Qin Jun, causing the Four-clawed Golden Dragon above Qin Jun’s head to surge to fifty meters in length, its dragon roar sounding even louder.

Qin Jun slowly turned around, facing the kneeling and shouting of the million-strong crowd. He raised his arms high, unashamedly laughing wildly with emotions uncontained.

How exhilarating!

From this moment on, he was the Qin Emperor of the Great Qin Kingdom, above tens of thousands!

As Jia Xun officially announced the decree he had orchestrated, Qin Jun’s sense of accomplishment burst within him. This was not the time for modesty; he had to reveal his brilliance when it was time to shine!

There were countless eyes in the sea of people watching Qin Jun, wanting to see his demeanor.

If he appeared meek and humble now, it would make it easy for other powers to think him a pushover.

Only by acting wild and spirited could he make the other forces feel his resolve. After becoming emperor, he would not tone down the sharp edge he held as the Overlord. Should anyone dare to provoke him, he was ready to fight back!

"Trust in me, Great Qin shall not stop at being merely a kingdom. One day, it will surpass the Imperial Dynasties, and perhaps even go one step further. I will make it so under heaven, all is the emperor’s land; on the shores of the earth, all are the emperor’s subjects!"

Qin Jun shouted out with full spiritual force, and although over a million people were shouting, nobody competed with spiritual power in such a manner because it was deemed provocative and against the rules. So his words could be heard by most people amidst the thunderous clamor.

Under heaven, all is the emperor’s land, on the shores of the earth, all are the emperor’s subjects!

The crowd found their spirits roused as Qin Jun recited altered lines from the Huaxia Classic of Poetry, thoroughly stirring everyone’s emotions.

Even Evening Star and others were shocked by Qin Jun’s ambition. It’s undeniable that literature has the power to convey many things more clearly. Although Qin Jun had articulated his aspirations before, these words resonated directly with people’s souls, making the officials and the populace uncontrollably excited.

"Under heaven, all is the emperor’s land, on the shores of the earth, all are the emperor’s subjects!"

Over a million people began chanting this phrase, even startling the wild geese in the blue sky.

Several miles away, Ao Wujian, hovering in the air, paused and also muttered the phrase, his face a blend of complex emotions, an unpleasant feeling in his heart.

Although he was the ruler of the Nanzhuo Dynasty, he found himself somewhat envious of Qin Jun, the emperor of this kingdom.

He had never experienced such a spectacular scene of millions chanting for him.

"If I had known, I would have held a grand ceremony for my coronation."

Ao Wujian regretted his oversight; in his rush to quickly take control of the Nanzhuo Dynasty, he had not spent much thought on generating momentum for himself.
