Because only heroes who have no desires before they die are qualified to become Rulers.
"That's impossible. I've heard that you were a very paranoid person when you were alive."
Iskandar was somewhat skeptical.
"It should be considered a kind of epiphany, a sudden realization before death."
The First Emperor said calmly, "When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out; everything will become a thing of the past. Looking back, you'll find that you've really done a lot of ridiculous things."
Iskandar: "Can you tell me about it?"
"For example, pursuing immortality while building a mausoleum for oneself."
The First Emperor said indifferently, "He clearly doesn't believe in immortality, yet he still insists on searching for it. In the end, he didn't even achieve longevity."
Iskandar laughed and said, "Hahaha, humans are such contradictory creatures."
"Hmph, immortality is just a trick played by the gods on humans."
Jin Shanshan snorted coldly, as if he had thought of something that made him angry.
Iskandar asked curiously, "Oh, Gilgamesh, you seem to have some insights into the pursuit of immortality as well."
Feng Xi said calmly, "The elderly Gilgamesh once obtained the elixir of immortality from the underworld, but before he could drink it after bringing it back, it was killed by a snake."
Gilgamesh: "Who asked you, you mongrel, to be so talkative!"
Iskandar: "Gilgamesh, you really have bad luck."
"What a coincidence."
Gilgamesh glanced at Ishtar and said coldly, "My luck has always been excellent, and as for how a snake could suddenly appear in the king's palace, I don't need to explain the trickery involved."
Chapter 51: An Impossible Wish
"Why are you looking at me? That matter has nothing to do with me."
Ishtar rolled her eyes. This Gilgamesh really throws all sorts of dirty water on her.
"Humph!"
Jin Shanshan snorted coldly and stopped talking.
"Cough cough..."
Iskandar continued to ask the First Emperor, "First Emperor, did you have no other wish besides immortality during your lifetime?"
The First Emperor: "There is one more thing, which is to ensure that my Great Qin Dynasty lasts for ten thousand years."
Iskandar: "Don't you want to achieve it now?"
First Emperor: "No need, I think the country is doing quite well now."
"Yeah..."
Iskandar scratched his head and said, "Oh dear, then who wins this debate?"
He hadn't forgotten that they were having a debate.
Since the First Emperor stated that he had no desire to realize this wish, it was tantamount to him indicating that he would not participate in this matter.
As for Gilgamesh, his refusal to reveal his wish was tantamount to him giving up on the question.
Therefore, this debate became a struggle between King Arthur and the King of Conquerors.
"You won."
Feng Xi spoke up at this moment.
"Huh? Why?"
All eyes were on Feng Xi.
"Have you forgotten the debate topic we agreed on before?"
Feng Xi reminded them, "Based on their respective wishes, let's see who is more suitable to hold the Holy Grail."
"Are you also saying there's something wrong with my wish?"
Artoria frowned.
"I will not judge your wishes; such things are neither right nor wrong."
Feng Xi explained, "But you should know what the consequences of your wish will be."
Artoria: "Consequences? What consequences?"
Feng Xi: "As for the consequences, weren't they already mentioned in the previous Q&A?"
"When?"
Artoria was still somewhat confused.
"Singularity".
Seeing this, Feng Xi had no choice but to point it out directly.
That's right, even if the Holy Grail could truly fulfill the King's wish, it wouldn't have any impact on the present.
As a result, it will only create a new singularity.
If this singularity leads to the destruction of humanity, it will be added to Chaldea's elimination list.
"what!"
Artoria was a little confused; she didn't understand the concept of a singularity.
"I see, it does indeed create singularities."
Kenneth, realizing what was happening, explained, "History is in the past and cannot be changed. Forcibly changing it is like sprouting a new shoot on the trunk of what's called 'official history,' which won't affect the present."
"Yes."
Feng Xi continued, "Compared to this, isn't Iskandar's wish safer?"
"After all, no one knows what kind of impact a singularity will have."
"..."
Artoria was speechless and didn't know how to refute.
Even Lancelot didn't know how to comfort her.
After all, in terms of the consequences, Iskandar's wish was indeed safer.
Iskandar: "Hahaha, I never thought I'd win in the end."
Weber: "It felt like we barely got a word in edgewise."
King II: "We just need to give the king our advice when the time is right."
Kenneth: "But kid, I didn't expect you to know so much about singularities."
Feng Xi: "I was just slightly interested and did some random research on the theories."
[Based on the discussion, the Conqueror King's team won this debate.]
[The Conqueror King receives 10 Saint Quartz, and the remaining party members each receive 5 Saint Quartz.]
Iskandar laughed and said, "Master Caster, it seems you'll have to give me first place today."
Feng Xi: "There are still two questions left, don't get too excited."
Rin Tohsaka: "The first question is over. Are we going to be sent back now?"
[Once this Q&A session concludes, the system will return all group members to their original positions.]
[The first question is finished. Now we begin the second question.]
[This is a multiple-choice question. Please watch the following video carefully and then choose the answer based on the question.]
"Do I have to live in a house in Chancheng?"
[At dusk, in the Tohsaka residence, Tohsaka Aoi looked worried, while Tohsaka Rin beside her angrily lowered her head.]
[Tokiomi Tohsaka said solemnly, "Once the Holy Grail War begins, this place will no longer be safe."]
Rin Tohsaka whispered, "I want to help my father win the Holy Grail War."
"Rin, don't make things difficult for your father."
[Aoi Tohsaka spoke up to offer advice.]
Rin Tohsaka looked up at Tokiomi Tohsaka and said, "Are we in the way?"
Tokiomi Tohsaka explained, "That's not the case. This time, we need to be even more meticulous than usual, so to ensure your safety, it's best if you leave Fuyuki."
"Is this about my story?"
Tokiomi Tohsaka thought to himself.
"..."
Sakura Tohsaka lowered her head as she looked at the Tohsaka family in the picture.
Without her own identity, she is no longer a member of the Tohsaka family in the video.
Upon seeing this, Rin Tohsaka immediately grasped her hand.
