At this moment, his flying speed was not fast; his direction was heading toward the Northern Continent.
One hour later, the energy within Qin Yi's body gradually became full, and a chilling light burst forth from his eyes.
Looking down at the continent now very close beneath him, Qin Yi spoke in Dragon's language.
"I accept your challenge. From now on, you shall bear my wrath!"
With a flick of his tail, Qin Yi instantly transformed into a streak of light, heading toward the continent.
In just three hours, Qin Yi had arrived above the capital city of the Northern Continent.
Looking down at the dense cluster of buildings, Qin Yi's Dragon Body shifted into human form, then he dove downward.
When he was three thousand meters above the ground, he suddenly stopped.
Through his Rinnegan, the Presidential Palace of the Northern Continent was clearly visible. It was located in the bustling city center. Qin Yi's gaze flickered.
"If I launch a large-scale attack here, many innocent lives will be lost."
He understood very well that not all people of the Northern Continent were deserving of punishment. Many still held friendly attitudes toward Qin's Nation. The atomic bomb attack and destruction were primarily aimed at him, fearing that he threatened their status.
"Punishment is necessary, but so is a warning to let them know the extent of my anger!" With that thought, Qin Yi's gaze sharpened instantly, locking onto the Presidential Palace below.
Then, his hands quickly formed hand seals.
At that moment, inside the Presidential Palace,
The President's face was complicated. He had just received military intelligence stating that during the atomic bomb's flight, an unusual energy appeared, causing a massive energy reaction.
Before hesitation could even arise, he ordered the atomic bomb to detonate prematurely.
"Mr. President, the detected energy is enormous. Preliminary suspicion points to that Dragon Emperor! He somehow intends to block the atomic bomb's trajectory."
"Our military advises immediate detonation!"
The urgent words still echoed in The President's ears. The fact was incredible.
Suddenly, others in the office shouted. The President looked up and saw mysterious, densely packed black runes appearing on the ground. His pupils shrank.
"What is that?!"
People exclaimed in shock.
At that moment, Qin Yi stood in the high sky, hands forming seals.
"Mokuton (Wood Release), Tree Realm Descends!"
In an instant, the Presidential Palace below exploded loudly. Thick, dense trees burst from the ground, rapidly growing. Within just a few breaths, people were stunned to see the once towering Presidential Palace in the city center transform into a forest.
And the officials inside had vanished without a trace.
Qin Yi looked down coldly, smiled, then soared upward to an altitude of five thousand meters.
"Ninpō (Ninja Art), Tengai Shinsei (Heavenly Obstacle Quaking Star)!"
This time, he did not divide the meteor into twelve fragments, but kept it whole. An enormous meteor appeared in the void, shrouding the heavens and blocking the sun. Many people in the city below looked up.
"What is that?!"
"A meteor!!!"
Everyone was terrified. The meteor was very high above the ground, yet still clearly visible. Such a massive meteor falling into the city would cause destruction rivaling that of a nuclear weapon!
"It's the Dragon Emperor!"
Everyone understood. This must be the Dragon Emperor's retaliation, the legendary emperor who transformed into a black dragon and possessed the ability to summon meteors.
Taking one more look at the forest that had replaced the Presidential Palace, it struck even more terror into the hearts of the people below.
Just a moment ago, their atomic bomb had been launched, and the next moment, this Emperor had already arrived.
"This time, it is only a warning. If there is a next time, this meteor will fall in the most densely populated area!"
Suddenly, from the vast sky above, a mighty dragon's roar echoed. The sound reached their ears, yet somehow they could understand its meaning, which left them inexplicably shocked.
Immediately afterward, they saw the meteor suddenly plummet, stirring a roaring wind.
This scene caused countless people to scream in terror, shouting loudly that the apocalypse had come.
But just as the meteor was about to hit the ground, it abruptly slowed down, then gently and softly landed in a vacant demolition zone within the city, causing no disturbance at all.
The people of the Northern Continent waited for several seconds, then cautiously lowered their hands that had been shielding their eyes, realizing the anticipated destruction had not come.
And then, they saw, a mountain!
"It's the Dragon Emperor; he did not destroy us!"
"The gentle Dragon Emperor... we have misunderstood him all along!"
In a flawless version found in 1619's archives!
"I now begin to worship the Dragon Emperor. I believe if it is him, unifying the world would indeed bring happiness!"
Within minutes, the people of the Northern Continent began to discuss fervently. They had gained a new understanding of the Dragon Emperor. Especially the meteor mountain in the capital city soon became a new landmark.
On the enormous meteor, four ancient characters were inscribed with silver strokes:
"Great Qin Dragon Emperor"
High above, Qin Yi had already risen and departed from the Northern Continent.
He believed this show of deterrence was enough. Punishment had been delivered to those who deserved it, and a warning given, this was the perfect solution.
After arriving in the Dragon Emperor World, his personality had indeed become colder. On one hand, he originally intended to conquer the world with an iron fist, which was why he planned to cooperate with Madara (Uchiha). On the other hand, he was deliberately cultivating the majesty of an emperor.
A qualified emperor has a gentle smile when picking flowers, and cold ruthlessness when killing.
He was multifaceted, unpredictable, and immeasurable.
Back in Qin's capital, Qin Yi's affairs had become pitifully few.
On the 28th day after General Yang and the Shinobi squad departed for the Eastern Continent, it was already completely under his control.
Two months later, the states of the Western Continent voluntarily submitted. Under the majesty of the Great Qin Empire, who dared to defy?
The Northern Continent stabilized after a presidential transition. What surprised the world was that the newly appointed president was one of Qin Yi's subordinates, who announced on the very day of taking office that he was now part of the Great Qin Empire.
Thus, the East, West, and North Continents had all become parts of the Great Qin Empire.
"Two billion three hundred million people!"
Repeating the number in his mind, Qin Yi felt the vast strength of the King and couldn't help but sigh.
At this moment, the number of people under his rule had reached an astonishing 2.3 billion!
"The Southern Continent is barren and sparsely populated, no cause for concern."
With a flash in his eyes, Qin Yi abandoned plans to conquer the Southern Continent.
Next came the King's Way!
Without delay, Qin Yi sat solemnly in the Golden Throne Hall of Qin's capital. At the thought, the King's Way began.
This time, the momentum of King's Way was not as overwhelming as the first time; everything progressed quietly and subtly.
The two realms began to connect, civilizations began to merge, and on the purple Fire of Civilization, a small spark grew, making it slightly larger. In that moment, the minds of all citizens nationwide sensed something new, they understood the word "technology."
In the King's World, land expanded again. Forests grew, rolling mountains rose, and vast oceans spread swiftly.
Of course, all of this was under Qin Yi's control.
Using King's Strength in his mind, he quickly designed every terrain, filling it with information, so the King's World could rapidly evolve.
Deserts, swamps, oceans, lakes, rivers, forests, and various animals and insects appeared swiftly across the world.
