I am a living immortal.

In the end, Chen Dong did not do so.

He's been a bit too high-profile lately, but that's definitely not a bad thing. Chen Dong didn't know if it was his own illusion, but those people and the Han emperor seemed to have sensed something. This terrifying intuition and ability to seek benefits and avoid harm was simply amazing.

Of course, Chen Dong still said that this change was crucial and inevitable. He wouldn't stop because of the opposition of one or two people, even if they knew about it. In the face of the torrent of history, everything is nothing but illusion, and any attempt to hinder the progress of history is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

The Imperial Master's Mansion is being filled with people in an orderly manner. It has also gotten rid of its current status of being an empty shell and is on the right track.

.........

In the Imperial Hall, Chen Dong's performance exceeded most people's expectations. The assimilation of Taoism and Buddhism was so easy that even a large-scale uprising failed. Buddhism was easier said than done, its willingness to submit was obvious, but Taoism was different. While they had a deep foundation, they were also less willing to submit to the imperial court.

Zhang Yan, the previous leader of the Xuantian League, seemed to be conceding defeat, but in reality, he was also demonstrating his military prowess. He had been exorcising demons and monsters for decades, and his merits and virtues were a blessing. More importantly, he was also quite powerful. To avoid a desperate situation, the big man didn't move.

This time, sensing the impending change, they had no choice but to act, a move that many ministers viewed as unpleasant. However, reality dealt them a heavy blow. Chen Dong ascended Heming Mountain alone, and within half a day, the Xuantian League surrendered to the Imperial Master's Office.

Some people felt incredible, some were surprised and shocked, but more of them were actually curious about how Chen Dong did it.

The Han Emperor, sitting upright on the Dragon Throne, laughed heartily. Their new Imperial Master not only completed this test, which wasn't really a test, perfectly, but also seemed to have gained some remarkable insights from it.

From the fact that he recruited all these Taoists and monks, it can be seen that he is preparing for subsequent plans. I just don’t know whether what he realized is related to the changes in the situation.

"What do you think."

The emperor looked at Su Can, who was sleepy.

The warden sighed and said, "Use your eyes."

The emperor rolled his eyes. "You said he was going to do something. Did you really not foresee it at all? Your ability to predict the future and avoid harm has failed?"

Su Can thought for a moment and said, "In fact, not really. But regarding the national teacher you appointed, I can't see through him and don't know anything about him. But for me, I feel that changes are approaching, and I recently had a dream."

"Dream? What dream?" The emperor was confused.

"A dream about reality and illusion. The more I approach the changes, the more I feel like I've just woken up. And from Chen Dong, I think he's called Chen Dong, I sense a strange yet familiar aura from him. I seem to have known this power before, but I don't know what it is."

"Things seem to be getting weird." Su Can said with some distress.

The Han Emperor's expression grew solemn. He had never seen Su Can in such a state before, and his concern extended beyond Su Can's current state. He was also concerned about the future of the Han Dynasty. Su Can had once said that he never really cared about opportunities or disasters, but now he seemed to realize that this opportunity was truly an opportunity, and this disaster was far more complex than he had imagined.

Even Su Can, who had always been able to predict the future, was affected. This was a situation that had never been seen before. How could the emperor not be cautious?

He put aside his disdain for this change. As expected, long periods of comfort and prosperity breed arrogance, and this was exactly what he was experiencing at the moment. The reality was far more formidable than he had anticipated.

However, as an emperor, how could he escape? He had no choice but to face the challenge head-on. And at this moment, Chen Dong's presence would be particularly crucial. He had been wrong all along. Chen Dong's presence only added to the Han Dynasty's strength, diverting the already impending changes.

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty looked at Su Can and seemed to have made some kind of decision.

"He should come find you."

Su Can nodded in response.

"Are you going to help him?"

"Haven't you already made a decision?" Su Can looked at the emperor.

"Yes."

"I hope you think this through. It's possible that my current situation is simply the price I paid for my foresight. It's not necessarily related to the upcoming changes, and it might just be a coincidence."

"Coincidence, I don't believe in coincidence, I only believe what I see. The future should be under my control, and so should destiny." The emperor said domineeringly.

"In that case, let's do it, just like before, except this time the stakes are an entire Han Chinese. If you lose, there's no way back."

"We will definitely win."

The conversation also came to an end. In fact, Su Can also wanted to meet that young man, but now was not the time, because the Imperial Master's Mansion welcomed a large number of visitors.

The only troops who could be so arrogant in the capital were the Imperial Guards, who surrounded the Imperial Master's Mansion. Those who knew that they were here to seek help, while those who didn't thought they were here to cause trouble.

However, the Imperial Master's Mansion today is no longer the same as it was a few days ago. Even if these guards force their way in, the Taoist priests, monks, or deputy supervisors who have jumped ship from the Heavenly Supervisory Department will ensure that these guards will never return.

Eyes darted towards the Imperial Guards, as if they could tear them apart with just a little indiscretion. They'd been staying at the Imperial Master's residence for days, completely devoid of anything to do, their bodies practically rotting in idleness. Seeing someone picking on them now, they couldn't help but get excited; after all, that way they wouldn't appear incompetent.

In the eyes of these Taoists and monks, this is the first battle to demonstrate their own value.

So, when the Imperial Guards commander dismounted and approached, his mind's sense of danger kept blaring, and the hairs on his body stood on end. It felt like the place ahead wasn't the Imperial Master's residence in the capital, but a den of dragons and tigers. It was so quiet inside that he could even hear his own heartbeat. His instincts told him that if he dared take another half step forward, he would face a torrential downpour of attack.

Not only him, all the soldiers he brought were so nervous that they subconsciously clenched their swords, fearing that thousands of troops would rush out of the Imperial Master's Mansion in the next moment.

Cold sweat dripped silently.

The Imperial Guards commander had never imagined he'd be unable to move a single step in the capital he was protecting. It was a complete joke. Only then did the Imperial Guards truly realize that the newly appointed Imperial Master had already grown into a powerful figure. This was outrageous. It had only been a few days since he took office, and what was wrong with these Taoist priests and monks?!
