Chapter 233: Drawing cakes for the First Emperor!
The First Emperor's laughter gradually faded away, and an unavoidable sadness filled his heart as he realized that his life was entering the countdown.

Ying Heng suddenly spoke up at this moment: "Father, if I have mastered the secret method to eternal life, what if I can teach you the way to transcend the ordinary and become a saint?"

Like a bolt from the blue, Ying Heng's words exploded in the ears of the First Emperor.

My son actually holds the secret to becoming an immortal?
If I can become an immortal, why would I need to be an emperor on earth? !
If I could become an immortal, why would I build the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor and create terracotta warriors of thousands of soldiers and horses?

If I were to become an immortal, my wish would be...

However, is this possible?

In today's world, even if a warrior reaches the realm of heaven, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven, let alone the legendary land immortals who are beyond heaven?

Even if one can reach the realm of a land immortal, one is only invincible on earth.

The real place of immortality is probably tens of millions of miles away!

How is this possible?
The First Emperor stared at Ying Heng with a sharp gaze, trying to find a hint of a joke in his eyes.

However, Ying Heng's expression was extremely solemn, and he looked back at the First Emperor with the same firm gaze, without a smile on his face.

When he talked about the method of cultivating immortality, he spoke as naturally as if he was talking about his Great Snow Dragon Rider.

"Father, I know you don't believe it."

"Could you have anticipated that I would come up with a solution to the famine?"

“Would you believe in innovations like salt making, ice making, new paper, etc., until you saw them?”

"Before you met the Great Snow Dragon Riders and joined them, could you imagine their fighting power?"

"Can you believe that there are such powerful arms in the world?"

"The same goes for the things I'm going to show you next, Father, you've definitely never heard of them."

"Then why can't you believe that I can find the way to become an immortal?"

The First Emperor was silent for a long time. Just as Ying Heng said, before he appeared in front of the world, he was indeed angered to the level of a master by Ying Heng's series of actions.

However, if I could really cultivate the way to become an immortal and achieve eternal life, let alone this mere mortal world, even if there really is a fairyland, I would be able to conquer it in one fell swoop and turn it into the eternal Immortal Qin Empire!
However, cultivating immortals has always been like a dream. Even though the strange objects that Xiao Shisan mentioned earlier do not exist in the world, they still follow certain natural laws and are true, which is completely different from the way of cultivating immortals.

Therefore, how can people believe in the art of cultivating immortals that is fabricated out of thin air?
"Heng'er, if you can take out the real secret book of cultivating immortals, there is no need to say more. Just help me break through the realm of heaven and man and step into the legendary realm of immortals on land, and I will grant you any wish!"

The First Emperor stretched out his hand, opened it and waited.

Ying Heng frowned slightly. This secret of cultivating immortals was just a castle in the air for him. He could not take it out at this moment.

Even though he had ascended the throne and conquered the Xiongnu and Baiyue, even though the system taught him the way to cultivate immortality, he could not pass it on to others.

He must reach a certain level himself before he can deduce immortal techniques that can be practiced by others.

As the First Emperor expected, the cultivation method that could help him enter the realm of immortals on earth would at least require Ying Heng to reach a higher level before he could comprehend it.

At this moment, Ying Heng was only at the peak of the Heavenly Man Realm and had not yet reached the realm of the Earthly Immortals.

He sniffed lightly and replied with a bit of embarrassment: "Father, as for the method of cultivating immortality, I only have clues at the moment, but I don't know it yet."

The First Emperor snorted coldly: "Then you are just talking nonsense!"

Ying Heng continued, "Father, if I say that you need to pass the throne to me first, I can get the immortal cultivation secret book."

"You should understand the reason behind this, right?"

The First Emperor stared at him, as if he was examining a fool. Do you think I am a fool?
What's the reason behind this?
It's clear that he is trying to deceive me of my throne!

He spoke so high-soundingly, claiming that he had the secret book of cultivating immortality and promised me immortality. But now there is not even a shadow of it and he wants to steal my throne by deceiving me. He also said that only by obtaining the throne can he reveal the method of cultivating immortality.

What's the reason behind this?
If you seize the throne, you can become an immortal. I have been the emperor for more than ten years, but I have never seen the real method of becoming an immortal, and I have never even seen the trace of an immortal!

Seeing the expression of the First Emperor, Ying Heng knew that empty words were not enough and he could not convince him with words alone.

So he proposed: "Father, how about this. Everything we just discussed is a bet. If I can do it, everything in Daqin, including you, will be subject to my arrangements from now on. How do you think?"

The Emperor's doubts deepened, and he turned to stare at Ying Heng: "Then can you describe in detail how this gambling game works?"

Ying Heng mentioned the bet many times, but he came back empty-handed on his first attempt and was scolded by the First Emperor.

But as his subsequent baits increased, the First Emperor was tempted more than once...

Now, Ying Heng mentioned the bold bet again, and Qin Shihuang's interest was aroused. He asked with great interest: "Then, can you tell me in detail how this bet will proceed?"

Ying Heng pondered for a moment, organized his words in his mind, and said slowly: "Father, you see, now we are like two heroes standing side by side in the Great Qin Empire."

"I'm not a hero."

The First Emperor interrupted, Ying Heng looked at the First Emperor calmly, and the latter nodded: "For now, let's just say so, you continue."

Ying Heng continued, "Since we can sit together calmly, it means that we all hope to establish a peaceful way to resolve the power issue. You also agree with this, right?"

The First Emperor did not respond directly, but simply gestured for him to continue.

"As you know, Daqin's internal and external troubles have been basically resolved. There are only two paths before us."

"One is to devote ourselves to the construction of the Great Qin, and the other is to conquer the world."

"It just so happens that the two of us can take on these two tasks respectively."

"The one responsible for building the Great Qin needs to stay at home, control the overall situation, and provide soldiers, talents, logistical support, scientific and technological support, etc. for the one who conquers the world."

"And the one who conquers the world must be brave and good at fighting, able to capture cities and conquer enemy countries and turn them into part of our Qin. This requires extraordinary military talent and personal charm."

"At the same time, we need to continue to bring back abundant resources and talents to Daqin."

"These two tasks obviously require two people to complete together."

"So my bet proposal is that we each choose one to execute."

“In one year, we’ll see who can do better.”

"Of course, there have to be basic conditions."

"For example, those responsible for domestic construction need to provide 10,000 Great Snow Dragon Riders for the other party to conquer the world."

"At the same time, appropriate equipment, sufficient new food, and other auxiliary arms are all essential."

"As for those who are fighting outside, you must pacify the Xiongnu and the Baiyue within one year, and incorporate the grasslands in the north, the 100,000 mountains in the south, and the plateau in the west into the territory of our Great Qin."

"The winner of the bet will get everything."

"Your Majesty, what do you think of this bet? I'll let you choose first."

Ying Heng stopped talking here and waited quietly for the First Emperor's reply.
