I Seek Talents for the First Emperor

After the War of Investiture, the Great Dao deduced that if the gods and Buddhas were not kept in check, this world would inevitably return to chaos, and the Great Dao born from this world would vanish as well. So the Great Dao took all the gods, Buddhas, and cultivators away, leaving behind only its Daoist essence. It declared that no spirits of mountains, rivers, or nature could cultivate into spirits here anymore, and the rise and fall of humanity would rest entirely in human hands.

Li was the only unhatched chick of the Black Bird clan, adored by his uncles and elders even while still inside his egg. Someone coveted the merit of unifying the land and surpassing the achievements of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and secretly plotted to achieve it. The newly born Heavenly Dao happened to discover the plot. To set things right, it ran countless deductions, and Li's Black Bird egg ended up in this world, where he met his grandfather's brother's 31st-generation descendant: Ying Zheng.

A little scene:

Little Li: “Zheng, why are there always tears in the corners of your eyes?”

Ying Zheng: “The land is finally at peace, but after years of war, the people have suffered greatly. I want to give them time to recover and show them kindness. Unfortunately, remnants of the Six States keep stirring up trouble, and the Xiongnu repeatedly threaten the borders of our Great Qin. I...”

In other words, I need talented people. Lots and lots of talented people!

Little Li: “Don't worry, Zheng. Let me take a look.”

As Li traveled through the vortex of time and space, he saw countless fragments of time: this world and other worlds, past lives and future lives.

Thanks to the powerful divine consciousness with which Black Birds were born, he searched briefly, then opened his eyes.

“There is a man named Zhang Liang, capable of devising strategies within the tent and winning battles thousands of miles away.

“There is a man named Xiao He, capable of stabilizing the state, caring for the people, supplying provisions, and keeping the supply routes open.

“There is a man named Han Xin, whose million-strong army is sure to win every battle and prevail in every attack.”

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up. “These three are all exceptional men.”
