Nine Princes Struggle for the Throne: The Mad Prince

Chapter 505 The Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth (5) (Trouble in the Lower Realm)

With Qin Wu's imperial decree in hand, the Hall of Merit immediately issued a mission.

As soon as the mission was announced, everyone saw an opportunity; the Hall of Merit hadn't issued a mission like this in many years.

No one wants to miss such an opportunity.

After all, the treasures in the Hall of Merit are all extremely precious.

Everyone had long coveted these treasures.

As soon as the mission was announced, everyone sprang into action, exchanging artifacts and treasures for exploration in the Hall of Merit.

With the participation of the people, the pressure on the imperial court was finally relieved.

This also freed up the imperial court to deal with overseas affairs.

If the strange occurrences overseas are not resolved soon, something terrible may happen if this goes on for too long.

Qin Wu absolutely cannot allow those strange creatures to grow unchecked overseas.

If left unchecked, it will become a major problem sooner or later.

While the Great Qin Dynasty was taking continuous actions, everyone believed that everything was proceeding steadily.

However, while the Qin Heaven Realm stabilized, trouble struck the lower realms.

"Your Majesty, something has happened. A report just came from the lower realm that a mortal realm has been destroyed."

The King of Qin suddenly entered the palace and reported to King Wu of Qin.

"The mortal realm was destroyed? What happened?"

Qin Wu put down the memorial in his hand.

He never expected that the mortal realm would be destroyed, and that heaven and earth had not given any warning.

If the mortal realm is destroyed, Heaven and Earth will punish those who destroyed it, killing them.

"Your Majesty, the mortal realm was not destroyed, but rather it was devoured by a strange entity. Almost everyone in that realm was swallowed up, and only a small number survived. They sent the news to the Immortal Realm, which then reported the matter to the higher authorities."

"Also reported was the situation in that immortal realm. Strange things have also appeared there. They can only defend passively and cannot kill the strange things."

As he spoke, the King of Qin handed the intelligence to Qin Wu.

Qin Wu took the intelligence report and read it in a few breaths. After reading it, his expression turned very bad.

From this intelligence, he could tell that this great calamity was likely not limited to the God Realm, but affected all worlds in their realm.

However, this is only Qin Wu's guess and still needs to be verified.

"Immediately contact the lower realms to investigate whether strange phenomena have occurred in all worlds. If so, we're in big trouble."

Qin Wu immediately gave the order.

He wanted to verify his conjecture first.

"Yes."

The King of Qin accepted the order and withdrew.

A few months later.

The King of Qin returned to the Imperial Study with the results of his investigation.

"Your Majesty, the investigation has been completed. Strange phenomena have appeared in all worlds below the God Realm, yet the lower realms are unable to eliminate them, causing widespread panic among the people of the lower realms."

The King of Qin reported to King Wu of Qin.

He hadn't expected things to have gotten this serious.

"The great calamity of heaven and earth, the great calamity of the entire world, so that's how it is, so that's how it is!"

"This is not just a calamity for the divine realm, but a calamity for all worlds!"

Qin Wu finally understood the reason for the great calamity.

He originally thought that everything would be fine as long as the divine realm could withstand this calamity, but now it seems that he had underestimated the great calamity of heaven and earth.

"Your Majesty, how should we handle this matter?"

"The King of Qin asked."

He was also very shocked when he learned of this news.

Their divine realm is already struggling to cope with the strange phenomena, and now problems are arising in the mortal realm. If they ignore it and let the mortal realm continue like this, the very foundation of their world will be jeopardized.

If the foundation is damaged, even if the divine realm resolves the anomaly, their world will cease to exist.

"Send the order! Open the passage to the lower realm, send powerful beings down to the lower realm, and send a message to the Immortal Realm to send people down to the mortal realm. Have the people from the lower realm bring down the methods of refining treasures with them, and have them refine treasures in the Immortal Realm to quell the chaos in the lower realm."

Qin Wu thought about it for a long time before finally making a decision.

If we don't do this, it will be difficult to quell the strange calamity in the lower realm.

"Your Majesty, there are countless immortal realms. If we send people to descend every year, how many people would we need to send? Moreover, sending one person per year wouldn't change much, but if we send too many, we will be short of manpower."

"We are facing something bizarre right now, and we don't have enough manpower."

The King of Qin was somewhat worried.

According to his calculations, if he were to send people down to the mortal realm, it would require at least tens of millions of gods.

Such a expenditure is considerable; even with the strength of the Qin Dynasty, it would be painful for them.

These are all secondary issues. It is not easy to extract so many powerful experts at the Divine Realm.

If millions of gods are suddenly drawn down to the mortal realm, they must be replenished as soon as possible, but breaking through to the god realm is not so easy.

Even in their divine realm, it would take an unknown amount of time to cultivate such a talent.

"They are just a few million gods, they won't affect the overall situation much. The lower realm absolutely cannot have any problems."

"Otherwise, even if we survive the great calamity of heaven and earth, it will be meaningless if the lower realm is gone. Moreover, if those strange creatures are allowed to grow in the lower realm, they will become a great threat sooner or later."

Qin Wu waved his hand, interrupting the King of Qin who wanted to continue speaking.

Regardless, the lower realm is the foundation, and absolutely no problems can occur there.

"Then Your Majesty, shall we draw men from the army?"

The King of Qin knew that no one could change the decision Qin Wu had made.

And I also understand that His Majesty's actions were correct.

"No, this time we won't select people from the military. Let the Hall of Merit issue the mission! The passage to the lower realm will also be opened up where the Hall of Merit is located."

"Let the Ministry of Works find a way to create a stable lower realm passage that can be used for a long time. That shouldn't be too difficult."

Qin Wu did not want to waste the army's resources on this matter. It was most appropriate to let the civilians handle it. Even if some of them perished in the mortal realm, he would not feel sorry for them.

The King of Qin was stunned by Qin Wu's words and stood there dumbfounded.

He never expected that Qin Wu would have such thoughts.

They actually want the common people to handle this matter.

"Your Majesty, are you sure you want to do this?"

The King of Qin asked tentatively.

“Well, the power of our Great Qin cannot be dispersed. Let the people handle it. There are quite a few Divine Realm experts among the people. Letting them handle it is the best way.”

"This way, we can focus all our efforts on dealing with matters of the divine realm, while the common people can handle matters of the mortal realm. It's just right."

Qin Wu said with certainty.

This is the best way for him.

Moreover, many small families would never easily let go of such an opportunity in order to obtain the treasures in the Hall of Merit.

"Alright, that's settled then. You may all go and make your preparations!"

Qin Wu did not want to argue about this matter.

He then dismissed the King of Qin.

"Liufeng, did you hear what I just said? Go and make the arrangements! Hurry up."

After the King of Qin left, Qin Wu gave instructions to Liu Feng, who was hiding in the shadows.

This matter must be handled as soon as possible; the longer it is delayed, the more trouble it will cause.

If the strange creatures in the lower realm grow stronger, it will be too late even if people are sent down there.

"Yes."

Liu Feng's voice rang out, then disappeared from the Imperial Study to convey Qin Wu's orders.
