The Last Emperor of Feudal Dynasties

In a modern urban world, as a short video software opened on a television, enormous changes took place across the Huaxia dynasties and countless parallel worlds of different timelines.

The sky was covered by a boundless light curtain, resembling a screen.

This strange phenomenon caused an uproar.

Historical World - First Emperor of Qin Timeline.

The Great Qin in this space-time had already conquered the six states, transforming from the State of Qin into the Qin Empire, and was at the peak of its power.

First Emperor of Qin Ying Zheng wore a black imperial robe, watching the light curtain in the sky along with a crowd of civil and military ministers.

What is this? Emperor of Qin Ying Zheng felt a shock in his heart.

The entire sky was covered by the light curtain, and he could not help but be stunned.

Zhao Gao spoke from the side, "Your Majesty, this strange phenomenon is a divine miracle! It celebrates Your Majesty for sweeping across the six states and uniting the realm under one!"

"A divine miracle? Can it grant Us longevity?" This never-before-seen anomaly in the sky seemed explicable by only the two words "divine miracle," but the First Emperor cared more about whether he could attain longevity.

He harbored grand ambitions and towering strategies, yet as his age increased and his body aged, it made him gradually feel that his strength fell short of his desires.

He felt that those sons of his were unreliable, and not a single one truly satisfied him.

He hoped he could live forever and continue to rule the Great Qin.

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si beside him and asked, "Li Si, do you know of this strange phenomenon?"

Li Si bowed slightly and replied, "Your Majesty, ancient and modern books have never recorded this strange phenomenon, and this subject does not know."

Historical World - Emperor Gaozu of Han Timeline.

"Xiao He, what is that thing in the sky? It has blocked the entire sky!?" Emperor Gaozu of Han Liu Bang asked Xiao He by his side.

Xiao He said, "This subject has shallow knowledge and does not know what that object is."

Seeing Xiao He say this, Liu Bang felt somewhat disappointed.

"Your Majesty, this subject boldly guesses that it should be Your Majesty overthrowing the tyrannical Qin, destroying Xiang Yu, establishing the Great Han, and becoming a truly genuine emperor whose achievements moved the heavens, which is why there is this strange phenomenon!" A minister stepped forward to flatter Liu Bang.

Hearing these words, Liu Bang felt a wave of comfort.

The other ministers followed closely behind, chiming in to flatter Liu Bang.

The emperors and ministers of various historical worlds—such as the Emperor Wu of Han timeline, the Emperor Guangwu of Han timeline, the Three Kingdoms timeline, and the Emperor Taizong of Tang timeline—held differing attitudes toward the light curtain, with the majority believing that the light curtain represented an auspicious omen.

At this moment, images appeared on the light curtain.

[The last emperor of the feudal dynasties # Puyi # Qing Dynasty]

["On February 12, 1912, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, who was also the last emperor of China since the First Emperor of Qin established the imperial system, Aisin Gioro Puyi issued the abdication edict, and the Qing Dynasty officially perished, bringing an end to over two thousand years of the imperial system."]

["A month later, Yuan Shikai assumed office in Beijing as the Provisional President of the Republic of China."]

The time was very short, and the video lasted only thirty-some seconds from start to finish.

However, this video caused shock across all historical worlds!

The text and sound in the video passed through the light curtain, transforming into the familiar sounds and text of each dynasty.

"Qing Dynasty?"

"Aisin Gioro?"

"The last emperor?"

"Republic of China?"

"President?"

Emperor Shengzu of Qing Timeline - Kangxi: "Aisin Gioro? That is my descendant!"

Emperor Gaozong of Qing Timeline - Qianlong: "My Great Qing has fallen?"

Almost all the Qing emperors were in shock over the fall of the Great Qing.

The complexions of those late Qing emperors and Empress Dowager Cixi were very ugly.

They knew what February 12, 1912 meant, and through their own timeline, they had already calculated how much longer the Great Qing had until its demise.

Kangxi looked at the light curtain and said in disbelief, "The last emperor? There will be no emperors in the future?"

The ministers around Kangxi looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.

The imperial system had actually been "played" out of existence by the Aisin Gioro Lineage!

The Yongzheng Emperor of a certain timeline looked at the light curtain with a heavy expression and said, "What on earth happened in the future? How could my Great Qing come to this?"

Unlike those emperors of the Qing Dynasty, Ying Zheng of the First Emperor of Qin timeline looked at the light curtain in the sky, frowned, and said, "The Qing Dynasty? Not the Great Qin? The imperial system began with Us, and the Qing Dynasty mentioned on the heavenly screen is more than two thousand years later—when did my Great Qin perish?"

Speaking to this point, Ying Zheng sighed and said, "My Great Qin actually did not last for thousands of generations! I wonder down to how many generations of monarchs my Great Qin was passed? And why did it perish?"

The numerous ministers led by Li Si did not dare to speak.

When they usually shouted "Great Qin for ten thousand years," it was more of an expectation, hoping that Great Qin could endure for ten thousand generations.

Yet which dynasty does not perish?

Xia, Shang, and Zhou were the best examples.

Zhou, which possessed the longest dynastic mandate, did not exceed eight hundred years either.

Zhao Gao, who had just claimed the light curtain was a divine miracle, hurriedly changed his tune and said, "Your Majesty, the future is not unchangeable. The dynastic mandate of my Great Qin will definitely exceed a thousand years; as long as we find the ancestor of Aisin Gioro and wipe them out, my Great Qin can certainly continue on indefinitely and never decline for ten thousand generations!"

"Aisin Gioro..." Ying Zheng muttered to himself, "I have never heard of the Xiongnu having this surname. Could it be that it only appeared many years later in the future? Or perhaps this surname does not originate from the Xiongnu, but comes from the south."

Ying Zheng was uncertain whether Great Qin perished at the hands of the Qing Dynasty, nor did he know whether Aisin Gioro originated from the Xiongnu.

If not, with the world north and south being so vast, how was he to search for them?

Emperor Gaozu of Han Timeline.

The minister who had just been flattering Liu Bang now wore an awkward expression.

Liu Bang muttered to himself, "Aisin Gioro—do the Xiongnu have this surname?"

Lü Zhi said, "Aisin Gioro does not necessarily have to be a Xiongnu surname. It has only been how many years since the fall of Great Qin, and who can say for sure about matters over two thousand years in the future?"

The civil officials led by Xiao He agreed with these words of Lü Zhi.

Emperor Wu of Han Timeline.

"Qing Dynasty, Aisin Gioro..."

Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che was likewise pondering whether the Qing Dynasty was the dynasty following the Great Han.

Unable to figure it out, Liu Che stopped thinking about it and instead said to his assembled ministers, "We resolve to launch another northern expedition against the Xiongnu, and by the way, investigate this surname Aisin Gioro."

Prime Minister Gongsun Hong pointed at the light curtain in the sky and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to rush; perhaps it will provide the answer."

Emperor Xian of Han Timeline.

"President? Listening to the sound of it, it sounds like an official position holding supreme military and political authority. Assuming office—it sounds like they were elected. Republic of China, people..."

Through the words in the video, Cao Cao guessed roughly what it meant.

Not only Cao Cao, but many clever people on this timeline—such as Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Zhou Yu, and Zhuge Liang—thought the same way.

Only, none of them knew from where the surname Aisin Gioro originated.

In the late Eastern Han, there were not only the Xiongnu in the north, but also foreign tribes such as the Xianbei, Jie, Di, Qiang, and Wuhuan, and the Nanyue in the south.

Unlike the First Emperor of Qin and Emperor Wu of Han, Taizong of Tang and Taizu of Song, who were equally famous in later generations, had previously thought that what they did had angered the heavens.

Regarding Aisin Gioro and the appearance of the video about the Qing Dynasty, they instead breathed a sigh of relief.

Not just these two emperors, but in other historical worlds, emperors who had usurped the throne, plotted rebellions to rise to power, and obtained the throne improperly likewise breathed a sigh of relief.
