I am a living immortal.

Chapter 673: Not as Ordinary as I Thought

Chen Dong was confident about this. He now understood his role; as long as he was strong and useful, no one could touch him. Chen Dong once had a certain yearning for officialdom, but as his horizons deepened, his perspective on it had faded. He now had more important things to do, and the intrigues and deceptions of the officialdom were nothing compared to this.

Chen Dong's direction has never changed or wavered: to do something big. Now that he has found his goal, he just needs to move forward in that direction.

Watching the youth across from him, full of vigor and ambition, Su Can couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy. He now knew he wasn't as good as the young man before him, far worse. It wasn't just the framework he'd proposed; what truly envied him was that, at his age, the young man had already found the path he wanted to follow and was steadfastly pursuing it. Back then, he was still gloating over his ability; he was completely inferior.

"So, please give me a hand." Chen Dong looked at Su Can and extended an invitation.

Su Can looked at the young man and nodded, "Don't worry, I know what to do." He decided to help because he saw the vast prospects Chen Dong described. It wasn't due to his omniscience, but rather the product of his own reflection. This feeling of uncertainty yet determination fascinated him.

"Thank you!" Chen Dong said with gratitude.

"You don't have to thank me. As a minister of the Han Dynasty, this is what I should do. Besides, if you tell the emperor about this framework, I'm sure he will agree without my persuasion. You know, this emperor is very willful, and he will do anything for the Han Dynasty. Even if everyone opposes it, once he makes up his mind, no one can change it, including me."

"You've come to the wrong person. You should go directly to His Majesty." Su Can said slowly, "But I'm on your side. It's better to have more strength than to fight alone. The fact that this world has to rely on young people like you to hold it up is enough to show how incompetent we are. It's time for an old man to make use of his remaining energy, don't you think?"

"Hahaha, ever since I came to the Han Dynasty, everyone said that you, the Supervisor, were living out your retirement in the Supervisory Heaven Division. Now it seems that others may not have seen your true face." Chen Dong looked at Su Can.

Su Can simply shrugged and said, "Perhaps what they saw was my true self, and what you saw was just an accident."

Chen Dong had no objection to Su Can's answer.

Su Can thought for a moment and said, "Now that we've finished our business, considering that I'm willing to help you, could you please satisfy my curiosity?"

"what?"

"Where are you from?" Su Can asked.

Chen Dong was stunned for a moment, then replied with relief: "I was born in Lin State, from the Yan Dynasty, and came here through a door."

Two strange countries, and a strange door: "Can you still find that door?"

"I can't find it. I had disappeared when I came here. I didn't realize at first that I had changed to a different country, or even a different world. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. I'm just an ordinary person. It was only after I came to the Han Dynasty and was chased by the Heavenly Supervisor that I discovered that I possessed extraordinary power. Until now, I have never known the limit of such a power." Now that we are talking about it, there is no need to hide it. Just tell it all directly. Maybe this mysterious supervisor can know something.

Hearing this, Su Can laughed twice. "Your experiences and mine are indeed very similar. I possess supernatural powers and the ability to predict the future. Nothing in this world, big or small, can escape my eyes, even things that haven't happened yet. And this power suddenly came to me one day, and that day was even a normal day for me."

"No wonder the power in you feels so familiar to me." Su Can looked at Chen Dong: "Maybe our power comes from the same source. It's really amazing."

"I don't know where this power comes from. But what I do know is that the emergence of this power is not accidental. It must carry a certain mission. This is an inexplicable intuition." Chen Dong responded.

"Some kind of mission? Maybe." Su Can chewed on this sentence.

"But if you must say, you're not an ordinary person either," Su Can said, hinting, "Ordinary people, upon receiving this power, wouldn't immediately act recklessly, but would rationally consider whether they would be swept away by the torrent of this power. You've probably never been in officialdom, right? Even powerful individuals would subconsciously become timid when encountering those with long-standing power, but you haven't. From beginning to end, you've been calm and resolute, with a clear understanding of yourself. Whatever you choose to do, you simply go all out."

"These qualities are not something an ordinary person can possess. You are more extraordinary than you think. To be honest, you may not be lucky to have this power. With such a character, you can achieve extraordinary achievements even without this power." Su Can said bluntly.

"When I was your age, I was also ashamed of myself."

"What about now? Do you still have this feeling?" Chen Dong teased.

"Hmph, young people don't know their place." Su Can said with a smile after a long absence.

"Although we can't say we hit it off right away, we can still be close friends regardless of age."

"Isn't your mentality a little too old?"

"You don't understand the feeling of omniscience. The world is an unknown adventure for you, but for me it's just a book I've already read, flipping through and chewing over again. Take the Emperor, for example. I've known him longer than he realizes. I know his temper, I understand his character, and what he wants is what he once told me. Although he may not have such a memory, he regards me as a close friend because I can always understand his actions, even if I don't truly understand them."

"There was only one incident that surprised me, and that was the rebellion during the reign of the Crown Prince. I had not foreseen this, and that was the time when I truly opened up to him."

"This isn't an isolated case. For example, the Prime Minister, the Imperial Censor, and many others. So how can my mindset not age? People often call me omniscient, but omniscience is a given in reincarnation."
