After all, the centipede spider had been completely sacrificed and become part of the mist space. In addition, the mist space's ability to interfere with reality was enhanced, so it was not difficult to do this.
"...So what is it?!"
Zhao Gao saw the figure shrouded in mist and suddenly felt a tremor in his heart. He inexplicably felt nauseous and vomited.
Not only him, but many experts from the Luo Wang organization were trembling. Even the top experts among them could not stand steadily and had to support themselves with one hand on a pillar to avoid falling immediately.
"Don't try to observe or think about his existence!"
Zhang Sanfeng's expression changed slightly; he realized something. His words, like a thunderclap, were like a sudden awakening, instantly causing many of the Luo Wang experts to tremble. After they reacted, they all turned their heads away, their hearts shaking.
"That guy... he really is!" Zhao Gao didn't dare to look at Su Han anymore. He clenched his fists, feeling powerless with anger, and a little fear also rose within him.
What kind of monster is this? It's so terrifying that he doesn't even have the right to look it in the eye...
Moreover, the old man with white hair and a youthful face possessed unimaginable skill; the terrifying internal strength revealed in that low roar was something Zhao Gao had never seen before.
"...You guys?" Li Si stared dumbfounded at the group of people in front of him. What had happened? He glanced at the person shrouded in mist, who looked like he had suffered a severe injury! What kind of joke was this?
"Is that so?" Zhang Sanfeng suddenly looked at Li Si, who seemed largely unaffected, and realized something. "Does that mean the stronger a person is, the greater the impact?"
“That’s terrifying,” Tony Stark suddenly spoke, his expression complex. “It seems that the fact that we saw the avatars of gods accompanying us on previous missions without any problems… could be due to the fog in our minds?”
"I tried it last time. Because of the mist, even if Aizen used Kyoka Suigetsu, it couldn't affect me at all."
Zhang Sanfeng remained silent for a long time before saying in a low voice, "So, it seems we really have been saved by the Speaker of the Council many times."
It's chilling to think about. Even if the body is shrouded in mist, wouldn't an ordinary person be unable to look directly at it?
This is merely an incarnation of an evil god...
No! Zhang Sanfeng suddenly realized something. Perhaps it was precisely because they had only seen the incarnation of an evil god that they were able to survive.

Chapter 97 The First Emperor's Scheme! General Wang Jian Prepares for War
“I have a question for you,” Ying Zheng said, scrutinizing Su Han intently. His eyes were sharp enough to detect something, and he immediately asked, “You’re not the incarnation of the god we met the last two times, are you?”
"Or should I call you... Number Ten?"
Tony Stark and Zhang Sanfeng's expressions changed drastically. They turned around abruptly, scrutinizing Su Han repeatedly, trying to discern a certain quality emanating from him.
“I suppose you could call me one of them,” Su Han said without denying it, his tone remaining unchanged. “I’m just an ordinary member of the council! I’m here as insurance for this mission…”
"I didn't ask for your opinion before coming here. You shouldn't mind, right?"
"Of course not!" Ying Zheng remained silent.
Li Si's pupils suddenly contracted. What did he hear? A god... an incarnation? A true god? How could this be?
Although he subconsciously wanted to refute, when Li Si thought of Su Han's quality that even experts of the Luo Wang were not allowed to look at him... his eyelids twitched.
As far as he knew, no matter how profound one's cultivation level was, it was impossible to do such a thing.
"Is it really... a god?" Li Si naturally knew how obsessed Ying Zheng was with gods and immortality, but he truly hadn't expected that Ying Zheng would find a god so easily. He even managed to bring the god down to the Xianyang Palace.
But then he thought about the invasion of the undead army... and it all seemed perfectly natural. If the dead have returned, what else can't happen?
"Then," Ying Zheng turned to look at the general kneeling on the ground, his voice calm, "where are the spirits of those who perished in Zhao now!"
“…Your Majesty,” Li Si suddenly spoke, forcibly suppressing the pounding in his heart, and looked directly at Ying Zheng, “If this is the question, I think I can tell you.”
"Hmm?" Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes.
“Those spirits are now very close to Xianyang City,” Li Si said in a low voice. “I have come here to request an imperial edict from you, to summon General Wang Jian to return to service and prepare for the battle of Xianyang.”
“Very good,” Ying Zheng placed the bamboo slip in his hand on the table. Facing Li Si, he changed his colloquialism from “I” to “I”. He was expressionless, but every word he uttered carried a sense of oppression. “In my life, I have seen countless battles! But this is the first time that the enemy has driven us to Xianyang.”
"Your Majesty, please calm down!" Li Si lowered his head, his body trembling. It was precisely because Ying Zheng was so calm at this moment that he felt fear; this was clearly a manifestation of Qin Shi Huang's rage.
"I have already invited enough people to resolve this crisis..." Ying Zheng suddenly paused, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then he said softly, "Very well, let Wang Jian! Let Wang Ben! Let all the military generals currently in Xianyang prepare for war."
"Yes!" Li Si managed to calm himself down. Although he had doubts, he did not question them. After bowing, he withdrew from the palace.
"Mr. Ying Zheng, what is this?" Tony Stark asked with a strange expression.
"Are you curious as to why I did this?" Ying Zheng's gaze swept over the generals, Zhao Gao, and the Luo Wang experts in front of him, his expression somewhat profound. "Although they are of no use... they can demonstrate your strength."
"Although I am now the absolute ruler of the Qin Dynasty, it is still very difficult to carry out thorough reforms... The old imperial system was personally established by me. Some civil and military officials have even become beneficiaries and supporters of this system... I can only rely on your strength to try and win you over."
Ying Zheng laughed. Although he didn't say anything more, everyone else present understood what he meant.
“That’s amazing!” Tony Stark said only that one sentence.
Yes, Qin Shi Huang was all-powerful in the country he ruled, but the reason he had such power was because of the imperial system he established himself...
A comprehensive reform would undoubtedly impact the existing imperial system. The resulting chain reaction would be far too significant… potentially even shaking the authority of Qin Shi Huang. After all, he himself was smashing the chessboard he had built to create a new one.
But what if... there was a being who seemed to be a god standing behind Qin Shi Huang, who wanted to do this?
Zhao Gao's forehead was covered in cold sweat; he was terrified by the shocking secret he had overheard. He was filled with extreme fear... and even regretted that he should have retreated with Li Si earlier.
"What are you still standing here for?" Ying Zheng stared at Zhao Gao expressionlessly. "Go prepare a banquet! Welcome my distinguished guest."
"Yes!" Ying Zheng's blunt words seemed to have saved Zhao Gao, and he hurriedly led the experts of the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) away.
