Era of Heroic Spirits: I Was Exposed by Alaya

Tamamo-no-Mae swayed her hips as she approached Nameless: "So, would you like to cultivate together with me?"

As a fox spirit, she simply coveted his body.

Honesty deserves praise!

Unexpectedly.

Nameless smiled: "Fox demon, I want you to assist my cultivation! If you can disrupt my concentration, I'll consider you a worthy partner."

"Haha, really?"

Tamamo-no-Mae was instantly ecstatic.

This was in the bag.

How dare this mere Nameless underestimate her charms as a fox spirit?

She unleashed her full allure - eyes shimmering like water, crimson lips slightly parting.

Her bewitching body swayed gently, deliberately teasing him.

Not just the soldiers stealing glances from afar.

Even countless viewers were blushing furiously.

Her overwhelming charm was hard to resist even through screens.

Yet.

Nameless remained expressionless, sighing lightly: "Indeed, you still fall far short of true deities."

Human desires were boiling.

Not just his own.

The "evil" emanating from hundreds of thousands around him was refined and channeled into the nine-tailed fox.

"No! This is too much at once! Let me adjust first!" Tamamo-no-Mae moaned seductively.

Her five tails swayed gently behind her.

A sixth tail's phantom form began emerging.

Forming this sixth tail would multiply her combat power ninefold, easily crushing Nameless!

Alas, she still had far to go.

In the joint conference hall of China and Britain.

Everyone stared silently at the real-life fox spirit.

"Don't look at me like that, I'll get shy... mew~"

Tamamo-no-Mae feigned bashfulness.

Among those present.

The British father-son duo made no effort to hide their hostility.

Were they not on Chinese soil, they'd already have drawn their Noble Phantasms against her.

Terrifying. Absolutely terrifying.

Was it a crime for a fox spirit to covet Nameless' body?

But damn you, Nameless! Once I find you, I'll make you submit beneath my skirts!

Damn you Alaya! Exposing Qin Shi Huang's dark past was bad enough, but why reveal mine too?

The mightiest nine-tailed fox failing to seduce someone? A humiliating disgrace!

Under the group's varied gazes.

The video continued playing.

With the deities gone, Qi Kingdom could resist no longer.

Qin's iron cavalry swept across Qi, completing the conquest of all six states and unifying the land!

At Qin's Xianyang palace.

"A ruler surpassing the Three Sovereigns and eclipsing the Five Emperors. This is the First Emperor - that is I!"

Ying Zheng was formally crowned as Qin Shi Huang, solemnly declaring, "I swear in the name of the First Emperor!"

"In my reign, I shall secure Qin's eternal peace, defending our lands while expanding our borders. In my death, I shall become a dragon spirit, eternally safeguarding our Yan-Huang descendants!"

"Let this oath be witnessed by sun and moon, attested by heaven and earth, heard by all immortals, gods, spirits, and demons!"

-[Qin Shi Huang is legendary!]

-[Truly worthy of being the Ancestral Dragon of China, even in death he continues to protect us, the descendants of Yan and Huang!]

-[So cool! This video makes me admire Qin Shi Huang even more!]

-[We really have to thank Qin Shi Huang—without him, we'd be as fragmented as Europe!]

-[From then on, he planted the dream of unifying the world for all the emperors of China!]

The video continued.

After annihilating the six states and unifying the world,

the Great Qin truly reached its peak.

But the lofty gods above remained a sword hanging over their heads, ready to strike at any moment.

Under such circumstances,

Qin Shi Huang, leading a million Great Qin soldiers, stood before the altar of the Xianyang palace.

Meanwhile, Nameless stood alone atop the altar, as if offering himself as a sacrifice, with a solitary grave erected beside him.

Holding the Heaven-Questioning Sword, surrounded by the Nine Cauldrons, Nameless raised his head and gazed at the heavens:

"Now, I, Nameless, the Savior, formally address the gods of the Heavenly Court!"

His voice was not loud, carrying no imposing aura.

Yet, the entire world seemed to fall silent, listening to his words.

"I know you immortals and gods have always watched over humanity—your silence is the greatest contempt. We have endured this contempt for far too long!"

Nameless raised the Heaven-Questioning Sword, truly challenging the gods of the heavens for the first time:

"Now, I give you only thirty seconds. Otherwise, I will fully activate the Nine Cauldrons Formation and perish together with you!"

Buzz~

The once silent world was suddenly swept by raging winds.

The bright sunny day turned into darkness in an instant.

Phantom figures appeared in the sky: "Stop, you mortal who dares defy the gods!"

The celestial gods of the Heavenly Court could no longer remain idle.

They had long sought to return to the mortal world and would not tolerate any disruption.

Given just a little more time, they would have descended upon the mortal realm!

But now, this mortal had forced them to reveal themselves!

The gods and immortals were consumed by fury—

"Mortal, you seek death!"

"Kill him! He must be killed!"

"Stop, mortal! If you yield, we may grant you a place among us as a lofty immortal!"

...

Thunder! Storms! Torrential rain!

Countless calamities swept across the heavens and earth, seeking to crush all mortal resistance.

The gods wielded their divine authority without restraint.

Yet.

Below, hundreds of thousands of black-armored Qin soldiers stood in solemn silence. Not a single one knelt or begged for mercy—all faced the gods with unyielding resolve.

Qin Shi Huang suddenly raised his hand and shouted, "Wind! Great wind!"

"Great wind" was the battle cry of the Qin army.

Hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers echoed in unison—

"Wind! Great wind!"

"Wind! Great wind!"

"Wind! Great wind!"

...

Their voices merged into a mighty torrent, perfectly synchronized beyond imagination.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The black-armored Qin soldiers raised their weapons and marched toward the gods.

The thunderous, unified footsteps reverberated across the world.

"Who says we have no robes? We share the same garments. When our king calls us to arms, we sharpen our spears and halberds. Together we rise." Qin Shi Huang stood before the army, glaring at the gods.

"Who says we have no robes? We share the same cloaks. When our king calls us to arms, we sharpen our spears and daggers. Together we stand against our foes."

Nameless raised the Heaven-Questioning Sword, his voice resounding through the heavens and earth:

"Who says we have no robes? We share the same skirts. When our king calls us to arms, we sharpen our armor and weapons. Together we march."

Earlier, the departure of the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak had signaled the gods' temporary inability to restrain the mortal world.

They desperately needed time to reopen the passage between gods and mortals, allowing the immortals to descend once more.

But now, Nameless gave them no such opportunity!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The black-armored Qin soldiers advanced, roaring: "Wind! Great wind!"

In the face of humanity's greatest might—

The gods felt a sliver of awe for the very first time.

At last, they understood why generation after generation of human emperors had never ceased their defiance against the gods.

This was the instinct for freedom, etched into humanity's blood and soul.

"My comrades, raise your swords of rebellion with me! With this blade, we shall secure eternal peace for mankind!"

Nameless raised the Heaven-Questioning Sword, leading the army in a furious cry: "Kill!"

Qin Shi Huang and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers echoed—

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

...

Boundless power converged upon the Heaven-Questioning Sword in that moment.

Boom!

Golden flames blazed upon the sword, as if gathering the hopes of all Qin's people.

"We were born free—who dares reign above us?"

Nameless swung his sword toward the heavens: "This blade strikes for all living beings—against the gods! Its name is—"

[Heaven-Slaying Sword!]

A single sword strike transformed the heavens and earth!

A dazzling pillar of light shot straight into the heavens, sweeping away the thunder and storms conjured by the divine authority of the gods and immortals, restoring brightness to the mortal world!
