Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a black stone platform. Whoever possessed it could open the gates to Heaven. Qin Shi Huang, the First Emperor who unified all under heaven, once opened the Heavenly Gate. As a result, the emperor, still in the prime of his life, departed for the heavens... The Qin Empire collapsed with him, and another legend quietly spread: When the black stone appears, the world will fall.
