I am a living immortal.

Moreover, because of his strong faith, this beast master was also able to stir up sandstorms and storms on the grassland and drive celestial phenomena. This could be said to be a major trump card of the Huns, not to mention the shamans.

The Han Dynasty had originally prepared for an immediate attack, with fighting already underway among the Baiyue. However, the Xiongnu's delay was not without reason. Whether by accident or sheer luck, by the time the Xiongnu had fully prepared their forces, an unprecedented sandstorm had swept across the grasslands. This storm, like a barrier, kept the Han army at bay, raging for months. When the storm finally subsided, the grasslands returned to winter, withered everything and the ground freezing cold.

Even if some generals could defy the celestial forces, the soldiers couldn't. There was no other way, and it had dragged on until now. The Xiongnu's luck was truly incredible.

But the outcome didn't matter. A little later, or earlier, wouldn't have hindered the Han's victory. In fact, this was entirely avoidable; that was the very function of the Heavenly Supervisory Office. But before that, Chen Dong had first attracted everyone's attention; then, the Heavenly Supervisory Office merged with the Imperial Preceptor's Office, preparing for a monumental event. Memorials accusing them of mischief flew like snowflakes to the Imperial Platform. Furthermore, the voices of impeachment grew even louder.

However, the Imperial Master acted as if he had not heard anything and went into seclusion.

No matter what happened outside, they didn't care. A supervisor and a national advisor didn't even have to attend court, and asking the rest of the group was pointless. And then, this happened.

This gave a group of people an opportunity to seize the handle.

Unfortunately, this ultimately infuriated the Emperor, who scolded everyone in court. "Why didn't the Heavenly Supervisor notice? Isn't that what you did? One by one, you've made me stay home." This matter ends here!

The emperor had said so, seemingly temporarily halting the movement, but inwardly, it hadn't. As for why, it was ultimately a minority within the Han court who wanted change. While some others advocated for reform, they didn't need to make such a drastic move right out of the gate. If this "divine weapon" were forged, the people who once lived would no longer be as easily manipulated as lambs.

This would completely alter the existing landscape. Furthermore, when the people were given the opportunity to soar, their existing rights would be further divided, and the voice of the existing system would be greatly weakened. This was unbearable for many. No matter how unique the Han Dynasty was, it was still just a feudal dynasty, and its deeply ingrained ideas would not change overnight. Furthermore, if this were to happen, it would be unclear whether the country would still be a country. This, in their view, was heresy.

Not everyone could understand this as well as the emperor and Su Shen did, and most people resisted and opposed it. They tried to suppress it with the same methods they had used before, but found that it was completely ineffective.

You can force ordinary people to do many things they don't want to do, but you can't force their beliefs, and there is no reason to stop them, because the beliefs are still held by the Han people as a whole.

If you dare to stop them in person, you will be charged with treason. You will be unable to defend yourself. Moreover, this plan has obviously been approved by the emperor, otherwise it would not have been started by the time they learned of it. If you sabotage it secretly, it will be even worse. In the Imperial Master's Mansion, there are monsters like Chen Dong who can pick stars and moons, and people like Su Can who can predict the future and know everything, assisting them. There are also a group of Buddhist and Taoists who protect them, and talented people trained by the court and the people. If you dare to use force, you will be killed, including the people and the organization. Unless the Han people come to power, they will not be able to hurt them at all.

But this was approved by the emperor, closing the loop.

The only thing that could be used to sanction them was money and resources. But that wasn't really that important. Well, when Buddhism and Taoism realized what was going on, they were eager to invest everything they had. Speaking of other things, if the Buddhist and Taoist systems were connected, Taoism would be granted a passport to the real world, freeing the ancestral gods and goddesses that had been hiding in their own little world.

Restoring its former glory wouldn't be a matter of minutes. As for Buddhism, it wouldn't be impossible for it to develop into something like Taoism by leveraging this opportunity. More importantly, Chen Dong's system has a point: if it truly succeeds, one could actually transform their soul into a heroic spirit, achieving a different kind of immortality and becoming their own ancestor. Who could resist such a temptation?

So, it's all about money and resources. Buddhism and Taoism still have a few billion, so they can definitely survive the early stages. If that doesn't work, there's Chen Dong. It's all your wish come true. Speaking of which, the current Imperial Master's Mansion, with one omniscient and the other almighty, is really aiming for the fusion of the two swords, making them invincible.

So they were helpless. They had money, power, and strength. It could be said that unless the emperor disagreed, no one could do anything to them. That's why a group of ministers kept nagging the emperor in various ways at the beginning, hoping to make the emperor, who was deceived by the evil words, change his mind.

The consequences were seen, he was scolded in public, and his last way out was blocked.

Fortunately, the Imperial Master’s Mansion does not hold court.

Otherwise, I could kill them a hundred times with my eyes alone, but unfortunately I don’t even have the chance to kill the enemy with my eyes.

After more than six months of desperate struggle, these people finally gave up. They were powerless, and in the end, they were left in a mess, battered and bruised, while the other side remained completely unscathed. That so-called framework had been steadily advancing for more than six months.

Just like what is happening now, shocking the general.

That's the Beast Lord. Although the Xiongnu population is small and scattered across the vast grasslands, seemingly scattered, it's important to understand that their sole deity is the Beast Lord. Otherwise, this spirit born from this faith wouldn't be so powerful, controlling the celestial phenomena and communicating with the beasts. It's safe to say that the Beast Lord on the grasslands is unmatched and must be avoided.

This is the product of countless years of sacrifice.

In the Zhenbei Army, there is actually a plan to deal specifically with beings like the Beast Master, who have no physical form but can interfere with the world.

After all, anything with a physical form can be killed, and those without a physical form can only kill through metaphysical means. For example, weakening the opponent with military evil energy, or severing their bridge to the other world, namely, the shamans. But ultimately, none of these solutions can be solved directly. This is evident from the special plan that the Zhenbei Army has prepared for them.
