Holy crap!
Xiao Ning's eyes widened, and she could no longer maintain her composure.
What he saw was the power that had just descended from the sky, which was emitted by the world's consciousness, signifying that he had been given a divine mandate.
From then on, Ying Zheng could have all his wishes fulfilled, everything went smoothly, he could find money when he went out, have a miraculous encounter when he jumped off a cliff, attract extraordinary people from the common folk to his side, and bring disaster to his enemies one after another.
Simply put, he's the lucky one, the protagonist of the world.
With the protection of the world, Ying Zheng's future is limitless. Even if he transcends the limitations of the world, that is a foregone conclusion.
"Congratulations, Ying Zheng! From this day forward, the world will be more wonderful because of you!"
Xiao Ning did not tell him the truth, but instead respectfully agreed.
"Thank you for the compliment, Immortal!"
Ying Zheng had no doubts and assumed that Xiao Ning meant that he had obtained the cultivation method and the secret technique of sealing the secrets.
He was very satisfied.
After a few words of conversation, Ying Zheng took his leave.
In the late spring of the 29th year of Qin Shi Huang's reign, during his third eastern tour, the First Emperor Ying Zheng encountered a celestial being who bestowed upon him an elixir of immortality and the divine skill of "Roaring War Song." Consequently, the First Emperor abruptly ended his eastern tour, turned back to Xianyang, and executed the eunuch Zhao Gao, the alchemist Xu Fu, and banished Prince Huhai.
In the late summer of the same year, the First Emperor selected elite soldiers from the army and bestowed upon them the cultivation method known as the "Qi Refining Technique".
In the autumn of the same year, the sweet potatoes planted in the 100-mu experimental field yielded a bumper harvest, totaling 4,560 shi (a unit of dry measure). The First Emperor was overjoyed and ordered Teng, the Minister of Agriculture, to promote the sweet potatoes throughout the country.
With the aid of the secret techniques of "Faith in Godhood" and a massive amount of faith power, Ying Zheng's cultivation level rose like a rocket, and in just three months, he had already advanced to the Innate True Person realm.
In the winter of the 29th year of Qin Shi Huang's reign, heavy snow fell for three months on the northern grasslands, causing countless people and horses to freeze to death. The Xiongnu army of 150,000 marched south to invade the border.
Emperor Qin Shi Huang was furious and appointed Wang Ben, the Marquis of Tongwu, as the left vanguard and Zhang Han, the Supreme General, as the right vanguard, leading an army of 300,000 men on a personal expedition.
The First Emperor led from the front, wielding the Tianwen Sword to wreak havoc on all sides, with no one able to withstand his attacks. The morale of the Qin army soared, and they drove the Xiongnu army into a series of defeats!
The Xiongnu army suffered a crushing defeat, with countless casualties among its 150,000 troops. The Qin army pursued them for thousands of miles, all the way to the royal court in the northern desert, and annihilated the Xiongnu in one battle.
The achievement of expanding the territory greatly boosted Ying Zheng's luck, directly exceeding five hundred. Subsequently, during his rest in Shangjun, Xiao Ning brought the First Emperor to draw cards again.
Five draws yielded the following items: a low-grade mortal book, "Five Thousand Years of Chinese History," a low-grade mortal book, "The Cavalry Three-Piece Set," a low-grade mortal book, "Modular Type Printing," a low-grade mortal book, "Papermaking," and a low-grade mortal book, "Salt Refining."
Subsequently, in the spring of the thirtieth year of Qin Shi Huang's reign, the emperor's army returned to the capital, bringing back more than 200,000 Xiongnu slaves, more than 500,000 cattle and sheep, more than 50,000 warhorses, and countless other riches.
After this battle, the Qin Empire expanded its territory, the First Emperor's prestige soared, and the Qin dynasty became even more stable and unshakeable.
Subsequently, the First Emperor ordered the recall of his eldest son, Fusu, who was stationed at the border in Shangjun, to be kept by his side and personally trained.
After resolving the border troubles, Ying Zheng turned his attention to the domestic situation. He adopted the advice of his eldest son, Fusu, to implement benevolent policies, reduce taxes and corvée labor, and lower the overall tax burden.
In education, we vigorously promoted the popularization of culture. With the advent of movable type printing and papermaking, the price of books dropped a hundredfold, making books affordable for ordinary people.
In terms of people's livelihood, with the high-yield crop sweet potato and the technology of salt refining, no one in the world starved to death anymore, and the total population doubled year after year.
In the thirtieth year of Qin Shi Huang's reign, the total population of the Qin Dynasty was over 27 million.
By the thirty-third year of Qin Shi Huang's reign, the total population had reached 48 million, almost doubling.
By the thirty-seventh year of Qin Shi Huang's reign, the total population of the entire Qin Empire had reached a staggering eighty million.
After the recovery of the Hetao region and the Lingnan region, the total territory of China reached more than six million square kilometers, almost doubling.
In the original history, it was the year that the First Emperor died, but Ying Zheng was still alive and well. The 49-year-old looked about the same age as his son Fusu, and did not look like a middle-aged man at all.
Standing atop the highest point of Xianyang, Ying Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the surrounding landscape, a surge of pride rising within him: "This magnificent land, I will pass it down for thousands of generations!"
Fusu bowed and stood aside, nodding in agreement.
"Father is wise!"
…
The real world.
Linjiang County, Jiangyou Prefecture, Huaxia Kingdom, Dijing Jinglan Residential Area.
Xiao Ning sat cross-legged on the bed and slowly opened his eyes.
"The world is so big and full of wonders! It's truly an eye-opener!"
After receiving the memories simultaneously transmitted from one hundred clones, Xiao Ning immediately returned to his bedroom, closed his eyes to rest, and digested the massive amount of information.
While Xiao Ning's clone was developing alongside Ying Zheng, the other clones were not idle either.
One hundred clones were cast into the myriad worlds, like a drop of water entering the ocean, leaving no trace after a single wave.
However, it has stirred up waves in many parts of the world.
Some venture into the world of martial arts, relying on the memories of their original bodies to embark on the path of cultivation, and quickly rise to become influential figures who can influence the course of the world, reigning supreme and becoming masters and ancestors.
Some devoted themselves to the world of cultivation, and after much effort, they rose to prominence, established their own sects, and successfully secured a place in this world.
Others even transformed themselves into demons, monsters, ghosts, or other supernatural beings.
Finally, some were reborn as pigs, dogs, cattle, sheep, flowers, trees, and plants. These reborn beings fared much worse, so let's not dwell on them.
The rich experiences and broad knowledge of these clones truly broadened Xiao Ning's horizons.
