"Speaking of this... there's an interesting story. When I told my ministers about Huang Rong's description of the situation, Li Si and a few other civil officials actually thought I was testing them... They told me in a panic that the Qin army was as stable as Mount Tai and that it was impossible for them to be overthrown. I told them this several times before they believed me and started to devise plans for me."
Conan stared at Ying Zheng speechlessly. He'd actually believed before that Ying Zheng was simply teaching him the art of rulership…
In retrospect, it's clear that Ying Zheng was still relying on his Qin Dynasty's think tank to give Huang Rong a game-changing advantage...
A group of sages at the pinnacle of political intrigue, coupled with Huang Rong's own godlike strength, made her capable of sweeping away all obstacles. No wonder she ascended to the throne of Empress so quickly.
“Oh, right,” Huang Rong blinked and stared at Song Que opposite her, “Mr. Tiandao, are you really not considering becoming emperor? It would be very easy for someone like us to become emperor.”
Huang Rong was in high spirits. She said she was very familiar with this. "You just need to cultivate your combat power to the point that you can collapse mountains... then package yourself as a god descended to earth, and then hold up the pawn of destiny... plus proper planning, and you can easily become the ruler of the Central Plains."
"I see." The Sword Immortal finally understood and nodded knowingly.
He had previously thought Huang Rong's path to becoming emperor was somewhat farcical. But if mythology were involved, along with the assistance of Ying Zheng's advisors... then her ascension to the throne became understandable...
After all, it was an ancient era, and the emperor was ultimately the son of heaven... The will of heaven played a large part in it.
“Cultivate first.” Song Que said succinctly. “Moreover, my trials for Wanwan are still ongoing… You’re right, she does have the potential to be an emperor, but that’s all.”
“Wanwan is different from you,” Song Que said coldly, “She doesn’t have a council standing behind her to support her… so if she wants to become empress, she has to be better than all her male competitors of the same era, and she has to crush them all with overwhelming superiority…”
"Otherwise! She won't do it."
Song Que wasn't entirely trying to make things difficult for Wanwan. In fact, Wanwan knew Song Que's thoughts and didn't feel that he was making things difficult for her either. On the contrary, she felt that Song Que's thinking was so open-minded... wanting a woman to become empress, this... is definitely a demonic ideology.
If Wanwan hadn't repeatedly asked, she would never have believed Song Que's words... After all, she had always thought that Song Que was a feudal and conservative person... Now, Song Que's actions were clearly more open than those of her Demon Queen master...
Su Han stared at the scene before him in a daze, his mind racing. "Huang Rong's progress is going very smoothly... Once she becomes the Empress and successfully promotes the new martial arts, she should be able to consider the matter of offering sacrifices to the heavens... It's probably not far off."
Nodding thoughtfully, Su Han then turned into mist and disappeared from the bronze throne.

Chapter 275 The Rise of the Evil Wave? The Most Suitable Era for Su Han (Fifth Update)
Su Han opened his eyes in reality and took out two cards.
"The Ghost Legion."
After a sigh, Su Han naturally merged with it, and then... he sensed a vast dark world, the Shadow Kingdom.
“The greater the darkness within, the more ghostly warriors one can summon,” Su Han murmured. “However, the mask has been optimized by the Mysterious Card, so now… it only requires enough of one’s own energy to support their appearance.”
Beside him, shadowy ninjas emerged from the shadows. Soon, the entire room was densely packed with them—hundreds in total.
However, the aura emanating from these ghostly ninjas was no different from that of ordinary people. A cultivator at the First Yuan Realm was enough to sweep through hundreds of them.
After thinking for a moment, Su Han clenched his fist and continued to merge the Ghost Shadow Ninjas. Finally, four Ghost Shadow Ninjas knelt in front of him. The auras of these Ghost Shadow Ninjas were extremely profound, enough to rival the realm of the Holy Lord.
They knelt respectfully on one knee in front of Su Han.
"Interesting." Su Han's eyes flickered. After experimenting for a while, he roughly figured out what effect the Ghost Mask had on him.
If it were an ordinary-level Shadow Ninja, he could easily summon hundreds of thousands, even millions. But for someone as weak as him, summoning more would be meaningless...
However, there are limitations to summoning those with a certain level of strength...
The stronger the creature, the harder it is to summon.
Su Han can summon ten Saint Lord level Saint Lords. Of course, his limit is only the Saint Lord level... and that's just ordinary Saint Lords... He can't summon high-level Saint Lords, or even half-Saint level Saint Lords, at the moment.
Of course, although nominally he's at the level of an ordinary Holy Lord... in reality, the Shadow Ninja is no match for a Holy Lord. After all, every living Holy Lord in this world has emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, while the Shadow Ninja seems to have reached that level purely through sheer energy...
Overwhelming and instantly killing those of the Five Elements realm with his superior cultivation level is no problem... Against those of the same level, he can barely guarantee not to be instantly killed...
"I can't summon anything above the Holy Lord... Is it because I'm not strong enough?" Su Han nodded thoughtfully, then smiled. "However, it's already quite good."
At least, neither the Holy Lord nor the various ghost generals symbolized by the various ghost masks could do this. The strength of the summoned ghost legion was actually already fixed.
Su Han had a vague realization: he wouldn't be tainted by the darkness within him by the Ghost Shadow Mask; this was likely due to the optimizing effect of the Misty Space… As for the Ghost Shadow Legion's strength, it increased along with Su Han's, which was very likely aided by the concept of unification…
Stretching himself out, Su Han stopped thinking about it and whispered, "Friday."
“Sir.” Friday’s voice rang out instantly.
"You must need help from others too, right?" Su Han dismissed the Saint Lord-level Ghost Shadow Ninjas and summoned hundreds of One Yuan Realm Ghost Shadow Ninjas, as well as Blade Ninjas.
“That’s true.” Friday’s voice was as usual.
“Then,” Su Han looked at his wrist, his other hand pointing at the Ghost Legion on the scene, “these guys are yours.”
“Yes, sir.” Friday offered neither questioning nor thanks. Su Han was her master, and everything she fought for was for Su Han. Therefore, why should she express gratitude?
Su Han went to his computer desk, browsed through the information Xu Changnan had sent him, and nodded slightly. "It seems... the Jinling Formation Diagram has reached the later stage? Sure enough, official mobilization takes very little time."
After revising a few more questions, Su Han's wristwatch suddenly emitted a blinding red light. Su Han's brows furrowed instantly. "What happened?"
“Sir,” Friday began, “it was an alarm from the Eight Trigrams Diagram. And it’s not just you; all the Holy Lords in the Jiangnan region, and even several nearby provinces, have received the alarm.”
"This is a Level S alert, the highest level, issued in Liangxi. This alert means that any Holy Lords in the surrounding areas are requested to provide immediate support... and all residents of the city must be evacuated..."
Su Han's pupils suddenly contracted. He put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth in place. "One wave subsides, another rises."
Su Han felt a heavy weight in his heart, a vague sense that something was amiss. The situation in Suzhou hadn't even calmed down when a major event occurred in Liangxi, impacting the entire Jiangnan region…
