Chapter 313
Da Vinci, a genius of all kinds, watched this scene of revelry with increasing anger.
It appears harmonious, it appears happy.
But everyone who paints, sculpts, composes poetry, or sets music has only one purpose:
Praise and extol the First Emperor!
For Da Vinci, this was not art at all; it was an insult to the very word "art"!
"That First Emperor, choosing to bear all responsibility and sins, naturally also bore the burden of arrogance!"
As Wuming gazed at the magnificent and awe-inspiring scenes, he thought, "In his eyes, only he is human; everything else is merely a part of his body."
In other words...
The First Emperor considered himself the ruler of the Qin Dynasty!
His wisdom is the wisdom of the Qin Dynasty.
His future is the future of the Qin Dynasty.
His lifespan was the lifespan of the Qin Dynasty.
Everything he has is everything to the Great Qin!
Everyone else was simply a part of his protection and didn't need to think about the future.
All we need to do is live generation after generation in this world of Eternal Peace, a world that will never have a future.
This is the true meaning of an eternal empire!
"Compared to the First Emperor, who actually did it, the King of Heroes's claim that he would admit it and bear everything seems more like empty talk... because the First Emperor truly bore it for over two thousand years!"
The nameless man's expression became even more complex.
The weak and frail Zheng'er of yesteryear is now able to shoulder a responsibility that has lasted for over two thousand years.
It's an unprecedented miracle.
Even Beckham's 1,500-year-long journey to return the sword paled in comparison to this opponent.
At this moment.
While directing the puppet soldiers to evacuate the civilians, Qin Liangyu exclaimed in surprise, "I thought you guys would take this opportunity to launch an attack."
"We are not the invaders."
The nameless man replied calmly, "Even if the creation of Lostbelt was wrong, destroying them without any burden while standing on the moral high ground is extreme arrogance."
Lostbelt belong to parallel worlds that have taken a different path from the Pan-Human History.
No one can be certain that the path they are on is absolutely correct, and therefore has no right to morally blackmail others.
In the eyes of the First Emperor, Qin Liangyu, and everyone in the Qin Dynasty, Chaldea was the invader!
"If I could, I wouldn't want to go to the battlefield; I'd rather go home and grow sweet potatoes."
Qin Liangyu gripped her spear tightly and roared angrily, "Only by slumbering the evil in the people can there be peace throughout the land. This is Your Majesty's great undertaking, and no one shall be allowed to destroy it!"
"You are not wrong, the world is wrong. We are destined to be enemies." Nameless sighed softly.
The audience, who had initially hoped to witness the nameless Kamui, found their hearts growing heavy.
[I suppose this is what they mean by "ignorance is bliss," and I actually find it quite nice.]
[Knowing nothing, living only to mate and praise the First Emperor —I can't stand this kind of life!]
[It's not about right or wrong, it's about winning or losing. Whoever is stronger will be the ultimate winner!]
[Unfortunately, even if Nameless fails, the Lostbelt is destined for destruction!]
[Perhaps the First Emperor foresaw this future, which is why he never truly killed Nameless and the others...]
That's it.
Mordred couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Speaking of which, Father King, you do seem to resemble the First Emperor somewhat."
"Um?"
Artoria turned her gaze to the other person.
"Tsk, you call yourself the Perfect King, yet you also want to shoulder the responsibility of the entire Britain!"
Mordred scanned him up and down. "Unfortunately, you lack Mechanical holy body, ultimately following the path of the Lion King. Yet, you still desire to domesticate all of humanity!"
This is clearly understood within the Sacred Round Table Domain.
The Lion King gathers the purest and kindest people from among countless others and places them in the world of the Holy Lance, creating a paradise for only five hundred people.
No war, Eternal Peace.
These people will live on forever with the Lion King.
But in Lostbelt.
The First Emperor transformed the entire Qin Dynasty into a paradise.
To forever eliminate war, and to forever suppress the wisdom of all people, to forever Rearing Humans!
"Perhaps..."
Artoria looked for a moment of melancholy.
If she had Mechanical holy body, she might actually follow in his footsteps.
He carried the entire nation on his shoulders, single -Britain handedly shaping the future of all living beings.
"Hmph, the throne really is a poison!"
Mordred couldn't help but purse his lips.
She hated Merlin and the Britain people even more than her Father King, who made him king.
Therefore, she instigated the rebellion precisely to destroy Britain and restore true freedom to her Father King!
Look how filial she is.
He's not a Rebellious Knight at all!
Gawain glanced at the crown that had been placed aside and said, "Yeah, you're right."
Indeed, the throne is poison.
Now neither of you wants it!
Does this thing represent a green hat, meaning whoever wears it will be cheated on?
The video continues.
Even Xiang Yu failed, so it was even less likely that Qin Liangyu could defeat Wuming.
They were utterly defeated in the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, the scene shifts to the Epang Palace.
Han Xin, who was as chubby as a certain singer, said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, as expected, I have failed. I can only atone with my death."
"It doesn't matter. As long as Chaldea doesn't defeat me, they can't end the Great Qin!"
The First Emperor's voice echoed in the hall, "Han Xin, Chief of the Guards, Qin Liangyu, you have fulfilled your duties as subjects. Now, I dismiss you from all your posts, precisely to reward your loyalty."
"Your Majesty, why don't you punish me?" Han Xin stared blankly at the other person.
The First Emperor replied, "It's not a matter of the battle. If I had let you do it, you would have had a hundred ways to defeat Chaldea. It's that I failed to let you use your full potential."
"If you're willing to destroy the Qin Dynasty for victory, you'll never be defeated! Right, Han Xin?"
"..."
Han Xin was at a loss for words.
Indeed, only His Majesty truly understands him.
He bowed one last time and said, "Then, please excuse me."
"Go, Han Xin, you are free."
First Emperor watched the other man leave the hall, his voice rang out again. "Chief Guard, I have one last favor to ask of you. May you witness his end?"
"His Majesty..."
The head guard sighed heavily, cupped his hands, and said, "Yes, Your Majesty. Please take care!"
Clearly, His Majesty intends for them all to leave and engage in a deadly battle with Chaldea.
Why do this?
Could it be that His Majesty foresaw a future destined for destruction?
After both loyal ministers left...
The First Emperor's voice echoed in the empty hall, "All irrelevant personnel have left. Shouldn't you show yourself?"
Jing Ke's petite figure suddenly appeared in the main hall.
Holding a dagger, he said, "Since you knew I was there, why did you withdraw your men?"
"Because you pose no threat to me, you don't actually think that little dagger can threaten me, do you? Are you prepared to die?"
The First Emperor's voice was very calm.
It's like stating a fact.
"A person dies when they are killed. Without being prepared to die, it's impossible to become an assassin!" Jing Ke replied.
"An assassin? That feels vaguely familiar."
Jing Ke frowned and said, "Have you forgotten that when you were still human, you were assassinated by an assassin?"
"Heh, I have ruled the world for 2603 years, and I have been assassinated countless times."
The First Emperor chuckled, "Do you remember how many grains of rice you've eaten?"
"..."
Jing Ke fell silent.
"However, I recall when you first came before me, you were stopped by the Master. At that time, I was preoccupied with how to achieve immortality," the First Emperor continued.
"..."
Jing Ke was increasingly speechless.
You said you didn't remember, so why do you remember it so clearly?
"Pan-Human History, what an arrogant self-proclaimed title! It's as if you are the only ones who are on the right track, and everything else is wrong. You are even more arrogant than I am!" the First Emperor mocked.
"Heh, more arrogant than you? You monopolize everything, extinguish every budding intelligence, and slaughter the innocent at the slightest provocation, and you call us arrogant?"
Jing Ke's expression grew increasingly furious. "In your eyes, only you are human, and everyone else is just livestock!"
"Yes! The Mechanical holy body hovers above Xianyang City, and I, who have established an eternal empire, am the only human being who can be called a [True Human]!"
The First Emperor did not deny it at all; on the contrary, he readily admitted it.
He retorted sarcastically, "In so-called Pan-Human History, is there any ultimate human like myself?"
Before Jing Ke could answer.
He began with a series of accusations. "Attack each other, confront each other, gather in hordes yet accomplish nothing. Therefore, there is no need for 'humanity' behind it!"
"Only the ultimate and supreme True Human is needed to uphold the heavens, rule the earth, and govern the people!"
"Hmph, your so-called Pan-Human History is correct? It's utterly ridiculous!"
The First Emperor's words perfectly revealed his thoughts.
In his eyes, all humans are merely inferior beings who don't need to think and can simply be taken care of by him.
Extreme confidence
Arrogance to the extreme.
This is the Eternal Emperor!
