I am a living immortal.

The Lingtailang who greeted the guests was stunned for a moment before reacting and quickly ushering everyone in. Chen Dong followed him into the Tianjiansi. In fact, the internal structure was actually no different from the Imperial Master's Mansion, no wonder the Imperial Master's Mansion had been abandoned. In fact, the positions of the two were already the same, otherwise people from the Tianjiansi could have seamlessly transferred to the Imperial Master's Mansion.

Soon he was led into a large hall. The first person Chen Dong saw was Su Can, a thin young man with completely white hair. He gave off a cold, detached vibe, like a mere spectator, not a participant.

This kind of temperament is very extraordinary, like a banished immortal who is incompatible with the world of mortals. Such temperament is really rare. When Chen Dong was looking at Su Can, Su Can was also looking at Chen Dong.

He had already changed into formal attire, and even though his mental age far exceeded his appearance, it couldn't mask the childishness of the man before him. This was the first time he'd seen him, and this childishness wasn't an imitation, but rather a reflection of his age. In other words, the person he felt was unfathomable, a mere fifteen or sixteen-year-old.

Even a monstrous figure like Su Can, what was he doing at his age? While he hadn't achieved the same level of accomplishments as Chen Dong, he seemed to have made a name for himself. He had a reputation back then... a divine fortune teller or something, even hailed as the Son of God by a certain religion. Later, the Han court wiped out this religion simply because he'd had enough of it. The religion, however, grew increasingly arrogant, even beginning to plot rebellion. They no longer had the initial respect for him, treating him like a mere pawn. So, he brought him to the attention of the Han authorities, and overnight, this behemoth was wiped out, swept into the dustbin of history, save for a few mentions in historical records.

Thinking back to when I first acquired my abilities, coupled with my youthful playfulness, I caused quite a bit of trouble. Now thinking about it, perhaps that was the happiest time since I acquired my abilities. Later, as my abilities became more sophisticated and I gained more experience in officialdom, I lost that sense of participation and joy. I gradually distanced myself from my tribe and the world, becoming a loner. Knowing everything, I lost the ability to be surprised by anything, and over time, I became like this.

The only person who surprised him was the current emperor. He had predicted that he wouldn't become emperor so soon, perhaps he had forgotten his own plans. When the young man, then the crown prince, came to him, recounting his three tours of the country and his unwavering determination to overthrow the existing regime, begging him for help, Su Can was delighted. This young man was changing his own destiny.

This allowed Su Can to see the fluctuations of fate and the errors in his predictions. The world was very precise and interconnected, but it was also not as precise as one might imagine, and sometimes fluctuations would occur.

The second time was, as mentioned earlier, when fate was completely obscured. And it all came from the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy before him. Thinking back to his past self, he wasn't so shocked. Perhaps demons are always this different, unlike ordinary people.

However, compared to his former self, the one in front of him was more mature and his achievements were limitless. However, Su Can also saw the ups and downs behind this transcendent maturity.

The two exchanged glances, each reflecting briefly before smiling. Su Can's sense of distance vanished in an instant, for the person before him, what he would say and how he would say it, remained unknown. This feeling hadn't occurred to him in a long time. Chen Dong also understood why the person before him would agree to his promise. After accustomed to a world that remained unchanged, the unexpected always struck a chord.

"I knew you were coming."

"I also know you knew I was coming."

"You are three breaths late." Su Can said with a smile.

"This is not being late. Things that have not happened are ultimately false, while things that have happened are facts. So I am not late but just right." Chen Dong shook his head and denied it.

In response to Chen Dong's denial, Su Can was not angry but laughed louder and louder: "Yes, what happened is the fact. You are much more interesting than I thought. Come on, tell me, what shocking thing have you come up with?" Su Can said as he placed a cup of tea in front of Chen Dong.

Chen Dong sat down opposite Su Can and said without hesitation, "I guessed it right. I guarantee you'll be shocked."

"Young man, when I became famous, your grandfather was probably herding cattle."

"Hahahaha, age doesn't determine a hero's worth."

"What do you want to change about the Han people? I'm not trying to discredit you. Within the existing framework, we've already tried countless methods. Some only address the symptoms, some are completely ineffective, and some even have detrimental effects."

"That's because you're not bold enough, and you've overlooked the most fundamental thing."

"What at all?"

"people."

"People?" Su Can seemed to have thought of something.

"That's right, everyone, including people like you and me who are in high positions. In fact, even if you replace all the officials and ministers, it will be of no avail, because your upper limit is already fixed. But you have ignored the largest group in the world. Your upper limit is fixed, but the tens of millions of people do not. It can be said that the role they play at this time is just to serve as a lower limit. There is a fault between you and the people of this world. What you should think about is not to work hard to increase the upper limit, but to reduce this fault." Chen Dong stretched out two fingers and gestured.

"If we reduce it even a little bit, our national strength will explode."

"what do you want to do!"

"What I want to achieve is very simple, that is, to mobilize all the people into the military. I want to build a massive framework that encompasses the entire imperial court and the people of all states. Do you know what I saw in the Lotus Buddha Kingdom and the Xuantian Alliance?"

"The Faith Canonization, this massive framework will gather the power of faith from across the world, centered in the capital, and then equally deliver this faith back to the people. The more the people believe in the Han, the more they will be nourished by this faith, thus achieving a positive cycle."

"As time passes, although faith can no longer affect the human body, under the nourishment of self-faith, death is not the true end. It can be said that the moment of death, the moment when their human body is shed, is the beginning of their life. A century of faith will bring them unprecedented transformation, faith will reshape them into a similar yet different flower, and I call myself a heroic spirit."

"Their faith will be enshrined in the temple, and their souls will be reincarnated once more."
