The Great Qin Dynasty: The egg of the Black Bird was revered as a national guardian beast.

A banquet was held for the court officials.

Regardless of the circumstances, they finished eating the sacrificial meat in front of them.

In the middle, the First Emperor ordered wine to be served, and musicians played music on both sides while dancers danced in the hall.

Her figure swayed gracefully, a peacock fan partially obscuring her face.

Their dance moves were as graceful as flowing clouds, their movements agile, revealing only their eyes and brows, yet they were captivating.

After the dance, the guests were all delighted.

But at that moment, someone stepped out from their seat, came to the center of the hall, and bowed down.

"Your Majesty," he said, bowing respectfully, "the world is now unified, and peace reigns throughout the land."

"But the Heavenly Mandate Black Bird was sent down by Heaven to assist the Emperor in governing the people of the world, and it is feared that it carries the will of Heaven."

"in this way."

He slowly raised his head.

He glanced at Xuan Ye, who was leaning against the armrest of the First Emperor, and said, "I dare to offer this advice, why not ask the Heavenly Mandate of the Black Bird for its permission?"

"Thus we know what Heaven's will is."

"How can we ensure the Qin Dynasty lasts for ten thousand generations? How can we make the Qin Dynasty prosperous forever?"

As these words fell, the vast hall fell silent, leaving only a desolate silence.

The First Emperor lowered his eyes.

The words landed on the person in the hall. "After careful consideration, I believe your suggestion is feasible."

"The Heavenly Bird is the totem of our Great Qin Dynasty, a divine beast that protects the nation."

The First Emperor spoke indifferently, turning his head to look at Xuan Ye, "It is a divine bird, which understands human nature and speech."

"If it is the will of Heaven, it will surely show itself."

The First Emperor leaned back on his throne, his left hand supporting his forehead, and his right hand waving outwards.

"In that case, all of you may withdraw."

"I must consult the Heavenly Mandate Bird for its will, and no one is permitted to be present during this time."

"It is the will of Heaven that I will announce this at tomorrow's court assembly."

"We would like to take our leave now."

As the voice faded, the ministers rose, left the hall, and departed.

The First Emperor simply sat there and watched people leave.

After all the ministers had left, the First Emperor raised his hand and waved away the servants around him.

Inside the main hall, only the First Emperor and Xuan Ye remained.

Looking at the empty hall, amidst the deep chill and silence, he sighed, "Fate, ah..."

He turned his head to look at Xuan Ye, the candlelight illuminating his face, the beads hanging from the imperial crown rustling and intertwining.

His dark eyes held a mocking glint as he slightly raised his head.

"Heavenly Bird of Destiny, what do you think is the will of Heaven?"

The beaded pendant swayed, reflecting on the First Emperor's face, casting a dim and indistinct shadow on his face by the candlelight.

He leaned back on the throne and closed his eyes.

"They believed it to be the will of Heaven, the will of the supreme God."

"Ha, how ridiculous."

"Is Heaven truly so noble? Why does the Supreme God of Heaven stand high above, looking down upon all living beings?"

"I will disregard Heaven and defy its will!"

"Besides, what if Heaven doesn't exist? In this world, the supreme ruler is only me, the First Emperor!"

The First Emperor raised his eyes and stood up from his seat.

With his left hand on the sword and his right hand waving his wide sleeves, he turned around and looked at the black bird on the armrest.

The emperor bent down and smiled at Xuan Ye.

"Now I know what the will of Heaven is." He straightened up. "My will is the will of Heaven!"

The First Emperor did not respect Heaven; otherwise, he would not have called himself the First Emperor.

Because, starting from the Shang Dynasty and beginning with the Zhou Dynasty.

Throughout the Zhou Dynasty, all the rulers referred to themselves as the Son of Heaven, claiming that royal power was divinely ordained. Did royal power really need to be granted by Heaven?

and so……

After conquering the six kingdoms and ending a century of chaos, the First Emperor issued an edict to discuss the imperial title, abandoning the use of the title of king.

He felt that the title of king was not worthy of him.

When the ministers submitted their advice, they suggested that the titles of Emperor Tianhuang, Emperor Dihuang, and Emperor Taihuang were all more prestigious and honorable than the title of King.

Finally, it was the First Emperor himself who came up with the idea and made the decision.

The title of Emperor was created by referring to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

As the first emperor, he was called the First Emperor.

It symbolizes virtues surpassing those of the Three Sovereigns and achievements exceeding those of the Five Emperors, with Heaven, Earth, and Tai all beneath the feet of the First Emperor.

Compared to the titles of kings who called themselves emperors, and the titles of emperors in the Shang dynasty.

The imperial title created by the First Emperor is the most prestigious title in history.

Even if it means being above the heavens, what's wrong with that?

"Rising above the heavens, my will is the will of Heaven." Having understood this, a cold glint flashed in the First Emperor's eyes.

He sat back down on his seat, leaning against the imperial throne.

His eyes lowered, glancing sideways at Xuan Ye on the armrest, a smirk playing on his lips as he looked at the divine bird beside him.

I don't know why, or maybe my mind just calmed down.

Looking into the eyes of the Celestial Bird today, into the gaze of the divine bird, he seemed to see human eyes.

He was stunned for a moment.

Then, the First Emperor suddenly smiled slightly, "Ha, how could the eyes of the Heavenly Bird of Destiny be the same as those of humans?"

"How could that be?"

As he spoke, his voice lowered.

He was certain that he hadn't misjudged the situation; the eyes of the Celestial Bird, like those of a human, possessed a multitude of emotions.

The eyes are the windows to a person's soul.

You can't tell if someone is loyal or treacherous just by looking at them, but their eyes don't lie.

Even if some people's eyes can deceive, they are a minority.

However, the eyes of the Celestial Bird, like those of humans, contain a variety of emotions. What does this signify?

This indicates that the Heavenly Bird, like humans, has the same thoughts and can think in the same way.

At first, he thought that the Heavenly Fate Mystic Bird was simply quite intelligent and could understand some human speech.

Looking back now, he was wrong.

He wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't seen it just now.

Looking at Xuan Ye once more, the First Emperor's eyes held a strange emotion.

"Heavenly Bird of Destiny, do you understand my words?"

"If yes, nod; if no, shake your head, okay?"

Xuan Ye raised his head, then shook his head.

"Ha." The First Emperor chuckled. "It seems the Heavenly Bird of Mandate cannot understand my words."

Xuan Ye was taken aback, as if he had realized something.

He tilted his head and looked at the First Emperor, who was looking at him with his gaze fixed on him.

Xuan Ye looked at the First Emperor.

For some reason, I felt a sudden panic.
