"Before you make your choice, I wish to ask the Qin Emperor one question. If we had not formed an alliance, would the Qin Dynasty have sent troops against the Heavenly River Universe?"
The Empress fixed her gaze on Qin Wudao, her voice somewhat low.
"Yes!"
Qin Wudao did not even pause to think, and replied directly.
An unsurpassed imperial might burst forth from within him, flooding the entire great hall. It was the domineering will of 'none but I reign supreme', and the resolve to unify all under heaven.
"I understand."
Hearing the final answer, the Empress nodded slightly, without anger.
Even the way she addressed herself had changed, from the earlier "We" to "I".
That the Qin Dynasty intended to occupy the Heavenly River Universe was within her expectations.
