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

"Am I a tyrannical ruler?"

When Xu Fu stopped screaming, the boiling cauldron overflowed with thick soup, leaving only a cooked hand outstretched.

The First Emperor stood outside the palace, leaning on his sword and watching.

Then he lowered his hand, turned his head slightly, and asked a guard standing next to him.

Lang Wei, standing to the side, was already covered in cold sweat.

He lowered his head, the flames burning beneath the boiling cauldron reflecting on his face, and stammered.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is wise and mighty."

"Heh." The First Emperor chuckled but said nothing.

Looking at the boiling cauldron, and then up at Xianyang under the night sky, a smile appeared on his face.

He turned and left.

When he returned to Xianyang Palace, he dismissed everyone.

Then, a violent coughing fit erupted, and dark blood stained the white silk.

His condition seems to be getting worse.

How much longer can he live? Will he live to see the Heavenly Bird return?

His eyes closed slightly.

The First Emperor walked to the hanging image of the Heavenly Mandate Black Bird, slowly raised his hand, and wanted to touch it.

But then I saw the bloodstains on my hands from coughing up the blood.

But she stopped her hand in mid-air, and slowly withdrew it, afraid of defiling him.

Standing before the statue of the Celestial Bird, he closed his eyes.

.........

But at that moment, the First Emperor heard a commotion outside.

Then, the palace guards who were on duty that night entered.

Standing outside the curtain, he clasped his hands in a salute: "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened; there are unusual celestial phenomena."

Before the portrait, the First Emperor slowly opened his eyes.

He raised his hand and lifted the curtain, and the First Emperor stepped out, his tall figure still upright, walking towards the outside of the palace.

They walked out of the hall.

The large cauldron outside is still there.

When the guards, palace maids, and eunuchs around saw the First Emperor, they immediately bowed and kowtowed.

After walking several dozen steps, they stopped.

The First Emperor raised his head and looked at the vast night sky.

There was a red star that had deviated from its original position and moved to a star that it should never have been.

The next moment, the two stars shone brightly, their color as red as blood!

Not long after, a guard led a person through many gates and arrived at the front of Xianyang Palace.

The man disregarded all decorum and immediately knelt down ten paces away, bowing his head in worship...

"Your Majesty, this is an omen of Mars guarding the heart of the constellation!"

..........

"The flickering firelight is chaotic and confusing."

"Good, good! This is a very auspicious sign. Haha, Zhang Liangcheng wasn't lying to me."

Kuaiji was a mansion in Wuzhong County.

Looking at the celestial phenomena, Xiang Liang threw his head back and laughed loudly, his beard trembling, unable to stop.

Xiang Bo, who was standing to the side, shivered.

Looking at Xiang Liang, who was laughing incessantly, I shifted my body. He was just looking at the celestial phenomena and then standing there laughing like crazy. Has his brother gone mad?

Could it be that he's been under too much pressure lately and it's driven him crazy?

Seemingly noticing Xiang Bo's gaze beside him, Xiang Liang coughed lightly, stroked his beard, and smiled.

"What I observe is not celestial phenomena, but the state of affairs under heaven."

Xiang Bo smiled, said nothing more, and just nodded repeatedly: "Brother is right."

Xiang Liang was in a great mood at this moment.

Otherwise, he would definitely reprimand Xiang Bo for his strange tone.

Pointing to the sky, he said, "This is Mars guarding the heart of the sky. Qin is about to fall into chaos. Our chance has come."

But Xiang Bo was still completely bewildered.

"What 'fire' and 'heart'? Whether Qin is in chaos or not is up to them. What does that have to do with our opportunity?"

Xiang Liang was furious.

But he could only comfort himself with the thought that this was his own flesh and blood, his own brother.

It took him a long time to finally exhale.

It is said that "Antares is one of the seven constellations of the Azure Dragon of the Eastern Palace, consisting of three stars, and is the place where the Heavenly Emperor governs."

"The brightest star, Antares, is the symbol of the Heavenly Emperor!"

"As for Mars, its movement is complex, unpredictable, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing, and its speed is uneven; it is an ominous star signifying war and disaster!"

"Mars is an ominous sign, but now it is lingering and moving retrograde near Antares, which is called guarding."

"When Mars invades its territory, chaos will ensue! Hahaha!"

Xiang Bo nodded thoughtfully.

Even so, he remained skeptical and disagreed with the notion that celestial phenomena determined the rise and fall of a nation.

"snort."

Xiang Liang snorted coldly and stopped talking. With his brain, even if he spoke, it would be a waste of breath.

It depends on human effort.

Can celestial phenomena really determine the rise and fall of a nation?

Of course not!

The reason he was happy was not because it was capable, but because it could stir the hearts of the people.

Thinking of this, Xiang Liang turned to look at Xiang Bo.

He asked, "Has Xiang Yu not returned yet?"

"No." Xiang Bo shook his head, then glanced cautiously at Xiang Liang, afraid of being scolded.

Because Xiang Liang went out to contact the remnants of the six states.

But when he returned, he learned that Xiang Yu had killed Qin soldiers for a woman and was now wanted by the authorities.

He immediately scolded Xiang Bo and was angry for a long time.

Fortunately, they had some connections with Yin Tong, the governor of Kuaiji Commandery, which allowed them to suppress the matter and withdraw the warrant for their arrest.

But after so long, Xiang Yu still hadn't returned.

"That's enough. The Xiang family has been planning this for many years. Yu'er knows what's important and will return soon."

"As for now..."

Xiang Liang smiled, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

It's time to use this planet Mars guarding the heart to add fuel to the already scorching fire of this world.

A fire that swept across the land, a fire that ignited the restoration of the nation!

.........

A star eclipse, its color as red as blood.

On a steep mountaintop, a giant bird stood, raised its head, and looked at the two blood-red stars in the sky.

"Mars guards the heart..."

Looking at the celestial phenomenon, he didn't think it was any kind of calamity; it was just a rare and unusual sight.

However, in the eyes of people in this era.

The constellation Antares corresponds to the emperor, while Mars signifies chaos and is seen as an omen of an emperor's moral failings, impending loss of the throne, or even death!

His eyes narrowed, revealing a chilling aura.

The next moment, from within a radius of thousands of miles around him,

All the creatures that were pregnant felt a sense of oppression and lay on the ground trembling.

At his feet lay piles of various rare medicinal herbs.

During this period, he traveled to famous mountains and deep forests, to all the steep and dangerous places in the world that no one else could set foot in.

Using the Black Birds, they found various rare medicinal materials.

It contains Tian Shan snow lotus, He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum), ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Poria cocos, Cistanche deserticola, and many other rare and precious herbs.

Harvest everything, regardless of whether it has long-lasting effects.

Even if it cannot, it can still be used as an auxiliary tool.

With his divine blood from the Black Bird, plus these rare treasures, even if he cannot achieve immortality, he can at least prolong his life.

He put away the rare medicinal herbs, looked towards the direction of the Great Qin, and his eyes gradually hardened.

Looking around again, I was no longer confused.

"go home."
