"Human Order Correction Formula"—this was the culmination of King Solomon's wisdom, possessing the power to rectify the course of human history.
Previously, Roy had inverted it into the "Human Order Incineration Formula," but that was ultimately a heretical deviation, not the true purpose of this magecraft.
To identify the flaws in human order and correct them—that was the essence of this spell.
And now, the "Human Order Correction Formula" had already judged the First Emperor before him to be a great enemy of human order, thus opening the path of human history for Roy.
As Roy stepped forward toward Qin Shi Huang, his will and spirit seemed to pierce through the annals of human history, witnessing humanity's arduous journey from humble beginnings.
Fierce beasts once roamed the earth freely, but with frail bodies, united wills, and extraordinary wisdom, humans forged tools and weapons, slaughtering those beasts that had once dominated the land.
Thunder roared in the heavens, volcanoes quaked the earth, and gods reigned high above, while humans could only kneel in worship, awaiting divine mercy and blessings.
Before the gods, before the overwhelming forces of nature, humans seemed insignificant, utterly inconsequential.
Yet, when the twilight of the gods arrived, the deities vanished from this land, leaving only humanity to survive through countless trials. Gradually, they became the masters of this earth, this planet, the pinnacle of all living beings, fully seizing control of their own destiny.
That was the moment human order truly began!
The surging river of this grand human history rushed forward, shattering all obstacles, reducing every hindrance before its unstoppable tide to dust.
This was the wheel of history, the torrent of time—none could halt it, none could intercept it. It surged toward the distant, unknown sea, which might be oblivion or eternal life. No one knew the final destination of human history, nor could anyone choose its path.
Only humanity itself could steer the course of this colossal vessel of history!
At this moment, Roy felt an unprecedented vitality, an unparalleled surge of power.
Every second, branches of human order diverged; every second, human history generated immense energy. And now, this excess energy, drawn from the distant past and the infinite future, converged upon the present, flooding into Roy's body.
In the world of Campione, Roy had possessed several times the magical energy of an ordinary Campione, yet even he would eventually exhaust his reserves in prolonged battles. But now, Roy sensed the vast, cosmic expanse of human order's magical energy connecting with him—limitless, inexhaustible, allowing him to wield it without restraint.
This was the "Human Order Correction Formula," granting Roy infinite magical energy!
Now, Roy would never again face the fear of magical depletion.
The First Emperor's barrier blocked all external observation, even the scrutiny of the Counter Force, and could sever the support of spirits like Yu Meiren from the Greater Source. But the First Emperor's barrier could not obstruct human order—for human order was the wheel of history itself, and any who stood in its path would inevitably be crushed beneath its weight.
"The Human Order Incineration Ritual" is a spell that pushes output to its limits, while the "Human Order Correction Ritual" employs gentler means to grant those blessed by the Human Order supreme fortune and infinite magical energy. Though not as violent as the "Incineration" version, it excels in being completely risk-free.
These two rituals are like light and darkness, like the righteous path and demonic arts—similar yet fundamentally opposite.
As Roy took the final step, his momentum had already peaked. Then, wielding the "Sword of Judgment," he shot skyward like a meteor, thrusting toward Qin Shi Huang.
The First Emperor's crimson eyes could see nothing else—his entire being was drawn to the tip of that descending blade. In that moment, panic seized Qin Shi Huang. He knew neither how to evade nor how to counter this strike.
In the end, he was merely an emperor, not a Campione who battled across heaven and earth!
The tip of the sword drew ever closer, its killing intent and chill robbing Qin Shi Huang of all sensation in his body. Life and death were gradually slipping beyond his control.
At such close quarters, every man becomes a nation's enemy. At this distance, even an emperor was no different from a common man.
Under the intense stimulus of life and death, the First Emperor finally regained his composure. With a wave of his hands, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang underwent a dramatic transformation—space and time twisted into chaos. Between Roy's Sword of Judgment and the First Emperor, a majestic wall stretching thousands of miles materialized!
Clang—!
The tip of the Sword of Judgment struck the wall, producing a piercing screech that shook the heavens and earth. The terrifying shockwave surged like a roaring tiger, devouring everything in its path!
Amidst the swirling sand and shifting clouds, the Great Wall standing before Roy was pierced, leaving a gaping hole. With a deafening crash, countless cracks rapidly spread across the wall before it crumbled into dust.
Yet, the Great Wall was simply too vast. Even though Roy had severed this section, the endless dragon coiling through the mountains remained beyond his immediate reach.
But Roy was undeterred. No matter how long the Great Wall was, his power was now boundless—he would eventually reduce it to ruins.
...
This was the First Emperor's bounded field, where he could effortlessly manipulate its power. What now stood in Roy's way was the Great Wall, reshaped by the First Emperor's will, towering amidst the mountain ranges!
Roy gazed into the sky, where the First Emperor stood atop the highest beacon tower, looking down at him with cold composure.
The First Emperor had regained his calm, no longer showing the shock from when Roy had thrust his sword at him.
"The might of the King of Chu—this emperor admits defeat!"
Standing atop the beacon tower, the First Emperor bluntly acknowledged that he was no match for Roy. Even with his perfected body of a True Human, as an emperor, he could not contend with a Campione like Roy.
Moreover, Roy had now mastered the Human Order Correction Formula, stripping the First Emperor of his greatest advantage.
There was no longer any way to grind Roy down through attrition.
...
"Today, this emperor shall lead the charge himself! King of Chu, witness the invincible iron cavalry of Great Qin!"
The First Emperor spread his arms and roared, igniting the beacon fire.
"Woooooooo—!"
The sound of war horns resounded across the land. Roy felt the bounded field shift once more, and as space twisted, he found himself standing on a vast plain. Before him stretched endless mountains and the Great Wall winding along their slopes. Upon the wall, terracotta warriors emerged.
At the other end of the plain, more terracotta figures appeared—warhorses, chariots, armor, weapons, and even the Twelve Golden Colossi!
These were the weapons of the world, collected by the First Emperor after unifying the six states!
Crack—!
The clay shells of the terracotta warriors shattered, revealing the human forms within—flesh-and-blood warriors who had once galloped across the Central Plains, the elite soldiers of Qin!
"Who says we have no clothes? We share our robes! The king calls us to arms—we sharpen our spears, we share our foes!"
"Who says we have no clothes? We share our undergarments! The king calls us to arms—we sharpen our halberds, we march as one!"
"Who says we have no clothes? We share our skirts! The king calls us to arms—we polish our armor, we fight side by side!"
The song "Qin Wind: No Clothes" was sung by tens of thousands, each Qin soldier's expression cold and resolute. They were brothers, fathers and sons, now gathered under the First Emperor's call—the old Qin people finally reunited here, ready to relive the war that once annihilated the six states!
"Valiant old Qin, together we face the nation's peril!!"
"Valiant old Qin, reclaim our rivers and mountains!!"
"Till our blood runs dry, we fight without rest!!"
