The First Emperor's Interstellar Expedition

In 210 BCE, Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng died at Shaqiu. He thought his life was over and his empire secure.

Two thousand years later, however, he suddenly opened his eyes inside his mausoleum on Mount Li: a cold metal dome, unfamiliar interstellar warships, and a group of people in white uniforms kneeling before him in terror. They were "people of the future."

"SSS+... Mental strength exceeds the limits of the test! Mental wavelength... completely unknown!"

In the interstellar age, humanity evolved "Sentinels" and "Guides" to fight the Zerg. Sentinels possessed overwhelming combat power but were prone to mental breakdowns. Guides were precious, but could only soothe them. While every other Guide spoke softly to comfort the Sentinels, Ying Zheng said just one word:

"Kneel."

The rampaging S-rank Sentinel dropped to his knees on the spot, his mental sea instantly calmed. The entire Federation was shaken.

They had no idea that this "ancient relic" had once united the six kingdoms and brought the world under his rule as the First Emperor. He knew nothing about interstellar technology or the Sentinel system, but he understood one thing:

The course of history is that after long division comes unity. He crushed the Federation's points system with a system of ranks based on military merit, reorganized star domains into commanderies and counties, unified the languages of the interstellar races with "one written language," and purged a thousand years of infiltration by the divine race through "burning books and burying scholars." When the Federation Council tried to arrest him, he seized control of the Federation instead and established the Great Qin Interstellar Empire.

The Zerg submitted, the divine race was destroyed...
