At Heaven's Terrace, Chong'en Hall.
A young man in black, with thick eyebrows and square features, sat alone by the window, quietly holding a scroll, lost in thought.
The incense burner beside him sent up curls of fragrant sandalwood smoke, making his somewhat green and stiff face appear even more hazy.
Only his exceptionally lively eyes made it difficult for anyone to overlook him.
However, as soon as footsteps were heard outside the hall, those eyes would instinctively hide all divine light, returning him to an ordinary young man.
He was the corpse chosen from the direct descendants of Emperor Qin Ershi, Ying Buqu.
Precisely undergoing the ritual of seclusion two days in advance to rid himself of distractions, to calm his mind for better communication with his ancestors.
Only, this "communication" ought to be placed in quotes.
