Chapter 760: Chapter 614: Status Demotion, Sparrows Compete for Food

The Corpse Sacrifice entails finding a living person to act as the "Corpse," serving as the deceased ancestor to receive the offerings.

Before the conclusion of the Corpse Sacrificial Ceremony, the "Corpse’s" status is that of the ancestor, while the ancestor’s "Corpse" is indistinguishable from an ordinary corpse.

If one wishes to glimpse the Mysterious Vault God through the status of the Emperor, one must do so through the crucial core of the entire ceremony—the "Corpse"!

The closer one’s blood relation to the Corpse, the easier it naturally becomes to take over.

Huhai and Emperor Shi, this father and son pair, had moved in and out of Wang Yuan’s body with unprecedented ease.

If it had been the initially designated rightful eldest son Fusu’s descendants here, Huhai would have had absolutely no chance at all.

Having just taken control of this descendant’s meat body, Huhai leapt up.

He stood tall on the altar, his face manic as he spread his arms wide, embracing the entire sky.

He loudly released his excitement:

"Father, oh father, the fall of the Great Qin during Qin Ershi wasn’t my fault, it was all because you sacrificed the dynasty’s three-hundred-year Qi Fortune for your own selfish reasons.

No one who takes over the throne could possibly turn the tide.

This was all your doing!

Today, once I have perfectly inherited the thriving Qi Fortune of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, I will surely create an unrivaled, glorious era that has never been seen before!"

Having concealed himself again, Wang Yuan was still shocked that someone as clownish as Huhai could indeed overthrow Emperor Shi.

Hearing this, he couldn’t help but be speechless.

Though it’s said that the great blame for the nation’s demise cannot be laid on him, Qin Ershi, alone.

He still felt a familiar sense of deja vu.

Whenever children do poorly in school, parents of every era always find the perfect scapegoats: novels, television, video games, ill-behaving friends...

Anyway, it could never be the child’s lack of intelligence or their own incompetence.

If the previous excuses could still be laughed off by Wang Yuan, the next words that revealed Huhai’s true nature ignited a fierce killing intent within him.

"When this Thousand-Year Dynasty returns to the mainstream of the Human Dao,

one can choose a Mortal World Dynasty sharing the Water Virtue, like the ’Undying Primordial Spirit’ being reborn by borrowing a corpse for resurrection, completely taking over it from its foundation.

Even altering everyone’s memory, so not even the Corpse Dissection Immortal could detect the anomaly.

Naturally, the target would be the currently strongest Post-Yan, the legacy of the former dynasty.

I intend to gather many beauties, with my own power to recreate the Ying Family clan; those legitimate daughters of the Zhou surname, the identities of Princess Consorts Jing’s concubines, are barely worthy to be enjoyed by me;

Also using unrivaled power to amass Military Skill and Daoist scriptures, squashing any threatening warlords in their cribs;

Oh, and I shall commence another burning of books and burying of scholars, rewrite history to ensure everyone knows that the First Emperor who united the land was named: Huhai!

Ha ha ha..."

However,

Just as Huhai bid farewell to his failed previous imperial journey and dreamed of a wonderful Future, ready to embrace his great position as Heavenly Emperor,

The pupils in his eyes, looking towards the horizon, suddenly contracted, showing the same reaction as when he first learned that the Qi Fortune of Great Qin had been sacrificed by his own father eighteen hundred years ago.

He couldn’t help but cry out again:

"Wait! How can this World-Saving Dragon Boat also be sinking?!!"

The Dragon Boat, constantly floating upwards, was supported by the formless yet genuine "Qi Fortune" of the Thousand-Year Dynasty beneath his feet.

But at this moment, the World-Saving Dragon Boat, which should have soared to the position of the Mysterious Vault God, was instead irrevocably and slowly sinking.

This indicated that Great Qin’s Qi Fortune, after a gap of one thousand eight hundred years, was once again rapidly declining.

With a grave expression, he looked at the numerous dark holes above and below, and the True Spirits of the populace continuously leaking to the outside.

Huhai believed he had found the answer: losing territory and the Dragon Energy and Qi Fortune of the people would naturally suffer great losses.

Looking around the vast heavenly platform, the prime ministers, officials, and palace attendants... at some point, all these figures had vanished without a trace.

Only a faint scent of wine lingered in the air.

He then believed that they had all been consumed by Emperor Shi’s ’Refining Stones to Repair the Sky.’

"Again! Just like this! Father, why must you always leave such a mess for your son?

The ’Human Tribulation’ didn’t last long; how could the situation outside deteriorate so rapidly?

If even this little thing couldn’t be managed well, it’s surely because you were truly useless!"

More distressed than the situation itself, was Huhai’s seething face.

But as he saw the World-Saving Dragon Boat about to completely fall from the highest attainment of the Mysterious Vault God, leaving him empty-handed,

Huhai had no time to blame his father, and had to find a way to make up for the deficit and stabilize the World-Saving Dragon Boat himself.

His face in agony, he touched the Human Face Painting, and an Alchemist dressed as a Painting Spirit appeared behind him, expressionless as he swept his wide sleeves.

Scrolls, copper spears, seals, bright pearls, flags... an array of treasures floated up and down in mid-air.

Though the aura was not quite as supreme as those treasures buried with Emperor Shi, it was only slightly less superior.

Even if Wang Yuan’s chest swelled with murder, he couldn’t help but exclaim, impressed by the scene.

Although the Qi Fortune of Great Qin was sacrificed, the collapse was indeed too rapid.

Qin Ershi ascended the throne and announced the end of the nation within just three years.

A group of remnants from the Six States and various vassals seeking to overthrow Qin hadn’t encountered much of a decent resistance.

Probably a huge part of the reason could be attributed to the fact that the treasures inside Great Qin that could stabilize the Qi Fortune had long been completely plundered.

The finest treasures had been pillaged by Emperor Shi in a round, and then thoroughly plundered again by Huhai who had learned the truth.
