The Sky Screen Across Dynasties: The First Emperor Ascends to Immortality from the Start!

Every emperor throughout history could turn the clouds with one hand and summon rain with the other, sink the Nine Provinces, and topple mountains. Once they bore the fate of the nation, their cultivation reached its peak. They could use the Nine Provinces’ Heavenly Heart Mark to prove their way and become emperors, then flatten the forbidden lands of the northern deserts. “Gather all the weapons under heaven and store them in Xianyang” describes the First Emperor Ying Zheng, who proved his way as an Ancient Desolate Holy Body and created the “Weapon” secret technique. He destroyed the Six Kingdoms, drove back the Xiongnu, and slew flood dragons. Alone and unrivaled on his path to becoming emperor, after his death he became the Great Wall, holding back the forbidden lands of the Xiongnu. “King Qin wields the bow, Yuchi the spear, and Zhao Er drives the chariot: together, they are invincible under heaven.” This refers to Li Shimin, who crushed the northern desert tribes until they were forced to honor him as the “Heavenly Khan.” “A single bowl can contain the mountains, rivers, sun, and moon; half a cane can measure the realm and the world.” This speaks of Zhu Yuanzhang, who drove out the Tartars and restored the light of the Central Plains. But when Zhu Di realized that his father might be able to see the sky screen too, he panicked and sought out Li Zhi: “Brother Li, we’re both very filial. How are you planning to fool your father?” “What if I just tell him my father lived four years longer and passed the throne to me at the Xiaoling Mausoleum? Do you think he’ll believe me?” Yet despite the Nine Provinces’ immense power, one question had always haunted them: How could emperors, mighty as they were, live no longer than ordinary people, or even have shorter lifespans?
