At that moment, a voice sounded out like a light in the darkness, comforting their weak and afraid spirits.

“Great Qin’s Majesty has ordered that all those who submit to Great Qin will become ordinary subjects of Great Qin. Those who joins Great Qin in attacking China will not be forced to bring their real bodies into the Heaven Awaken World; after the real world is destroyed, you will all be rewarded greatly.”

Great Qin had methods to bring people into the Heaven Awaken World en masse, so they would either submit or die a true death. Hearing that they would become ordinary subjects of Great Qin, not the lowest rank, and that they could even gain rewards, most people did not hesitate to submit.

“I’m willing to join Great Qin and work for Great Qin!” a person yelled, and many people followed. No one dared to resist Great Qin, and many of them already started to see themselves as part of Great Qin.

Zhao Fu did this to deal with the eastern side of China. They already knew that Great Qin was attacking the six countries, so countless factions were rushing over. If they gathered too many people, Great Qin’s plan to take down the eastern side of China would fail. As such, Zhao Fu changed his plans and decided to use the six countries to attack China.

This was quite a strange situation. After all, Great Qin was part of China, yet it was ordering these six countries to attack China. Only Japan had not been destroyed, as most of its people had already surrendered. The six countries formed six armies, ferociously attacking towards the eastern side of China with wild abandon.

After all, Great Qin had promised rewards, and they would not die true deaths. As such, it was best to use this opportunity to contribute to Great Qin. If they wanted to make contributions in the future, they would be putting their actual lives on the line.

There were not many factions gathered at the eastern side of China yet. After all, none of them expected the six countries to surrender so easily and follow Great Qin’s orders to attack China.

As the two sides fought, the Chinese side cursed at the six countries, saying that they had no backbone or any shame. They had been working together with the Chinese side incredibly closely to resist Great Qin, and now they were desperately attacking, helping Great Qin achieve its evil goals.

Now that the six countries had submitted to Great Qin, they of course defended Great Qin. They responded loudly, saying that they were now loyal to an enlightened liege and that Great Qin’s Legatee was the true Mandate of Heaven. He would one day unify the Midland Continent, and they were simply following the heavens’ will to punish those who resisted Great Qin.

The battle between the two sides was incredibly intense, but the six countries had an advantage in numbers. They were already ready to fight and were incredibly close, while the defending forces had been caught unawares, and there were still factions on their way.

Moreover, they had not even set up proper defenses and found it incredibly difficult to put up any meaningful resistance.

Moreover, there was a big difference in their battle intent. The people from the six countries had lost their countries and had no other choice but to submit to Great Qin. If they took this opportunity to make contributions while they did not die true deaths, they would not have to worry about the future. How could the Chinese side’s battle intent compare to this?

Japan’s final Emperor had been unwilling to submit to Great Qin, so Zhao Fu had personally killed him. Japan’s three sacred treasures, the Kusanagi, Yasanaki no Magatama, and Yata no Kagami had all fallen into Zhao Fu’s hands. The only reason Japan had not been destroyed was because there was still a faction that had not been destroyed.

This faction was called the Hundred Ghost Night, and it was the faction that Masanori Hano had established. Zhao Fu gave off a terrifying aura as he stood above her Devil City.

As a world Legatee, Masanori Hano had great strength. Because Zhao Fu was the World Protector and she was a world Legatee, both of them could use the human world’s energy. However, in this sort of situation, neither of them could use it, as they were facing each other.

Masanori Hano stood in the air, looking at Zhao Fu with a complicated gaze, and three figures giving off powerful devil qi stood behind her.

The first had two horns, a wine pot on its back, and looked quite handsome – this was Shuten-Douji. The second figure was dressed in armor and had a pair of crow’s wings and a long nose. Its face was quite savage – this was the Greater Tengu. The third was an incredibly enchanting woman who had nine tails – she was Tamamo-no-Mae.

These three were Japan’s Three Great Devils, and there were many legends of them. Their head was Shuten-Douji.

Zhao Fu looked at Masanori Hano and said gently, as he had a good impression of her, “Hano, you’re not a match for me. Japan has mostly submitted, so there’s no point in you resisting like this. If you’re willing to submit to Great Qin, I will treat you well.”

Masanori Hano felt quite complicated. Japan had already fallen, and there would no longer be ‘Japan’ in the future. She was the final resisting faction, and she felt quite deeply towards Japan. She was not quite willing to let it just perish.

However, the three devils behind her were quite intelligent. After all, it was not just Japan – all countries would fall in the future, and Great Qin’s rise was simply unstoppable. As such, they tried to convince Masanori Hano to submit.

Based on the fact that her relationship with Great Qin’s Legatee was not bad and that she was a Legatee, she would be able to obtain a good position in Great Qin. As such, this was the best choice.

Masanori Hano started to be swayed, and with the persuasion from the three devils, who she was quite close with, she decided to agree in the end.

Now that the final faction had submitted, Japan finally perished. The six countries had all fallen, and the eastern coastside had now been unified. Now, it was time to attack the eastern side of China.

With the six armies ferociously attacking, the defending Chinese factions could not last very long. Even though there were more factions heading over, Great Qin’s forces were also rushing over, and they were faster.

When Great Qin’s army and the six armies joined together, they broke through the eastern side of China’s defenses and gave off a massive momentum as they charged forwards.

The Chinese factions could only continuously retreat. In the end, due to their desperate retaliation and the various traps they had set up, they were able to stop Great Qin at the Pomelo region. Three-quarters of the eastern side of China had been taken over by Great Qin, and with the regions from the six countries, about 90% of the regions in the eastern side of the Midland Continent now belonged to Great Qin.

Taking into account the possibility of factions from the other directions attacking, Zhao Fu stopped advancing and shifted from the offensive to the defensive. The other factions from other directions started to attack Great Qin but could not change much. The six countries had already fallen into Great Qin’s hands.
