Lin Tian was unaware of their thoughts.
He appeared before the crowd and, following the ceremony, began the handover with Ying Zheng.
The process was rather elaborate.
However, both ministers and commoners remained silent, watching it all unfold.
Only when Lin Tian donned the imperial robe and the imperial crown did voices arise.
"Long live His Majesty! May Great Qin last for ten thousand years!!"
"Long live His Majesty! May Great Qin last for ten thousand years!!"
"Long live His Majesty! May Great Qin last for ten thousand years!!"
Such shouts continued to echo.
This was the people's acceptance of Lin Tian, and the beginning of his reign as Emperor of Great Qin.
At this moment, Lin Tian felt the entire world transform.
He possessed an unprecedented majesty.
This majesty even surpassed that of the previous Ying Zheng.
And in that very instant, Ying Zheng sensed the change in Lin Tian and understood what true imperial aura was.
Far from rejecting it, he was instead happy for Lin Tian.
"Good! Very good! This is true imperial bearing!!"
"My son is indeed suited to be emperor; his mere aura has conquered the world!!"
Ying Zheng was extremely pleased with Lin Tian's current performance.
However, he was unaware that Lin Tian's changes were not limited to this.
The moment Lin Tian became Emperor of Great Qin, he immediately felt something different.
That something different could be called destiny.
He felt countless strands of heavenly and earthly destiny surrounding him as he became Emperor of Great Qin. Possessing this destiny, he felt as though he controlled the entire world.
Simultaneously, his martial arts realm surged, reaching a height he himself did not know.
Yet, he felt that with a light leap, he could bound dozens of meters.
And with a gentle punch, he could destroy a city wall.
Such a situation was beyond anything Lin Tian had ever imagined.
Sensing the changes within himself, he felt a unique sensation.
"Is destiny truly this important? Could it be that I, now possessing destiny, have begun cultivating immortality?"
"But why did previous monarchs and my father emperor not exhibit such phenomena? Is it only me?"
Comparing himself to Ying Zheng and the previous monarchs, Lin Tian could sense his own uniqueness.
At the same time, he could also feel the change that the power of destiny had brought about.
His body was undergoing immense transformation, increasingly resembling the immortals of legend.
Lin Tian believed that given enough time, he would undoubtedly become like the legendary immortals, omnipotent, capable of destroying anything with a raise of his hand.
This was not the most important aspect. Most crucially, Lin Tian discovered that by controlling destiny, he could, through Great Qin's destiny, understand the thoughts and needs of Great Qin's people.
Loyal subjects, as if their hearts were open before him, could be easily understood by him.
And those who were his enemies, he could also easily sense.
As for the people of the un-subdued states, Lin Tian could also feel their resistance.
In their hearts, they did not truly submit to Great Qin.
In their hearts, they still rejected Great Qin.
Therefore, they did not provide much destiny to Lin Tian.
However, this was not a bad thing. If they did not provide much destiny now, once Lin Tian truly conquered them, they would provide him with immense destiny.
At that time, Lin Tian would truly be able to control the entire world.
Concurrently, his own power would likely reach a higher level.
He had a premonition that if his strength reached a certain degree, he could appear anywhere in Great Qin at any moment.
Lin Tian did not know the source of this feeling, but it was incredibly real, as if within reach.
This allowed Lin Tian to immediately assess his current situation.
"Immortal cultivation, this must be immortal cultivation! I have undoubtedly embarked on the path of immortality!!"
"In the future, I may very well ascend directly to a higher plane!!"
Lin Tian was a transmigrator, and things unimaginable to many could not limit his imagination.
He believed that there must be higher planes in this world.
When his strength reached a certain level, he would undoubtedly achieve enlightenment and ascend.
However, within Lin Tian's heart, he did not wish for a solitary ascent.
He harbored a grand ambition.
He wished to ascend together with the people of Great Qin, to carry all the people of Great Qin with him and ascend as a nation.
Only then could Lin Tian maximally guarantee his power.
Furthermore, this was a fervent hope in Lin Tian's heart.
He wished for the people of Great Qin to be like dragons, not bullied by others.
Such a thought was undoubtedly audacious; anyone who heard it would deem Lin Tian mad.
Therefore, Lin Tian did not voice his thoughts, nor did he reveal that he was already close to becoming an immortal.
Only when the people shouted "Long live!" did he gently wave his hand towards them.
"All rise!!"
As Lin Tian's words fell, many immediately felt a gentle force lifting them, raising them softly.
The appearance of such power left many in a daze.
They felt as if Lin Tian was personally lifting them.
However, Lin Tian stood on the high platform, not before them, making it impossible for him to personally lift them.
Because of this, many dismissed it as an illusion, a fleeting thought that passed through their minds.
They did not ponder it deeply.
Even those who were enemies of Lin Tian did not believe that Lin Tian was truly lifting them.
After all, Lin Tian was on the high platform; for him to lift them would require divine means.
They did not believe that Lin Tian, as the Emperor of Great Qin, possessed any divine abilities.
They did not even believe that immortals existed in this world.
If immortals truly existed, they should have appeared during Lin Tian's conquest of the realm.
Instead of allowing every corner of the world to be conquered by Lin Tian.
Therefore, they dismissed it as an illusion and did not give it further thought.
However, they did not notice that when they looked up, Lin Tian had deliberately glanced at them again.
Before becoming emperor, Lin Tian could not easily know the thoughts and minds of the people.
But after becoming emperor, Lin Tian could easily sense their thoughts.
The entire Great Qin was under his control.
