Most Emperors in this world had the mindset of those on the Other Shore in Lifetime. No, they went even further.
Before the Immemorial Era, when Emperors could still exist throughout the Myriad Heavens and Worlds, they stood at the pinnacle.

Even someone awaiting execution got a full meal first. A cup of hot tea before an Emperor died
