Ep. 20: Qin forces defeated as Mohists reveal spirit beasts and Tianming begins training
Devastated Qin troops retreat after the Mohist Machinery City defense, sparking rumors of four spirit beasts: Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, White Tiger, and Azure Dragon. Yin Yang priestesses suspect Confucian and Taoist assistance, planning to inform the Eastern Emperor, while Moon Goddess Yue Shen warns Qin Emperor Ying Zheng of eastern threats. Mohist leaders unanimously agree to train Tianming to fulfill Yan Dan’s prophecy of his future leadership. Teacher Xu initiates this education with a history lesson, though Tianming quickly grows bored with the academic instruction. The narrative highlights the political tensions rising between the Mohists and Qin, alongside the beginning of Tianming’s rigorous mentorship under the Mohist elders.
