After the Great Calamity of Investiture of the Gods, the Human Emperor, who represented humanity, was demoted from the rank of the Nine-Nine to the Nine-Five Supreme and became a vassal of the Heavenly Dao. But humanity had not entirely abandoned its resistance. When Di Xin burned himself to death, not only did the Heavenly Dao's Star of Heavenly Joy return to its position, but Di Xin's human and earthly souls also combined with a portion of humanity's authority to become the Core of Humanity, which fell into a deep sleep. It remained asleep until the Qin dynasty was founded and the First Emperor united the feudal states and gathered the fortune of the Nine Provinces. At last, he cultivated a personal aura of imperial authority, and the Core of Humanity sensed it and finally awoke.
Qin Shi Huang: I want eternal life.
Xie Yan: Come on, come on. Take the surname Humanity, and you'll live forever.
Liu Bang: I pacified the realm in seven years. Who could do that besides Brother Zheng?
Xie Yan: Please welcome the Hegemon-King of Western Chu.
Liu Che: I defeated the Xiongnu, but drained the empire's strength. The Witchcraft Trials took away the people I loved most. Was it fate playing tricks on me, or someone's scheme? The Han dynasty's fortunes seem to be declining.
Li Shimin: The pills Yuan Tiangang makes are dangerous. They'll disfigure you. Can I live forever by following Humanity?
Zhao Kuangyi: I couldn't take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. I couldn't beat them, just couldn't. Wait, I actually have a chance at eternal life? (θ‿θ)
Zhu Yuanzhang: I succeeded in reclaiming the Han people's realm, and you're telling me the Age of Declining Dharma is almost over? Why can't I live forever like them?
Xie Yan: It can't be helped. You weren't around for the Qin Emperor and Han Martial Emperor's time.
Zhu Yuanzhang: Then why can Liu Bang?
Xie Yan: Ever heard of the benefits of being born in the right era?
Zhu Yuanzhang: I don't care. I want it! I've bled for Humanity!
Xie Yan: But Zhu Di already called dibs.
Old Zhu: ?
Li Zicheng: Can you believe it? The Qing army had already entered the pass, but then tens of thousands of people claiming to be the Unfettered Ones suddenly appeared and forcibly enthroned me. What am I supposed to do now?
