Emperor Xin, King of Shang Zhou, was the last human emperor in the world. After him, kings of all dynasties called themselves "Emperor" - the son of Heaven, no longer the emperor of "human beings". The difference between one word and another is the essential difference: the emperor takes the place of the herdsmen, while the emperor of the people puts people first. The power of the emperor is granted by heaven, and the power of the human emperor is the unity of all people. After King Wu conquered Zhou, the lineage of human emperors was severed, and the road between heaven and man was sealed. From then on, all emperors were emperors, bound by the destiny of heaven, and no one could escape.
The First Emperor Ying Zheng was the first person after Emperor Xin to discern the secret of heaven. He swept away wasteland, merged Liuhe, wrote the same text, and drove the same track. His achievements far surpassed those of the emperors of the past dynasties. But he discovered a cruel truth: the emperor's upper limit was locked by destiny. No matter how talented and strategic an emperor is, he cannot escape birth, old age, illness, death, dynasty changes, and natural and man-made disasters. Ying Zheng was unwilling to give in. He found the fragments left by Di Xin and obtained fragments of the "Human Emperor Supreme System" - unfortunately only fragments. He relied on the power of the fragments to complete the great cause of unification, but the fragments were not enough to fight against the complete destiny. He visited the east many times to enshrine Zen, trying to sense the remnant soul of Emperor Xin from the top of Mount Tai; he sent Xu Fu eastward to find the human emperor's relics scattered overseas by Emperor Xin's descendants; he even tried the extreme method of burning books and entrapping Confucian scholars to cut off the cultural foundation of destiny in the world. But fate's backlash came too quickly - Ying Zheng died suddenly in the sand dunes, and the road to becoming emperor came to an abrupt end.
The system has been silent for more than two thousand years.
Until Zhao Guyen came through time.
