I am a living immortal.

Chapter 678 The Sharpest Sword

However, at this moment, the deputy inspector in front of him told him that with just one encounter, the beast master who was on high alert was turned into a ball in his hands that could be manipulated at will. This was simply challenging the general's cognition.

Others may not understand this, but as those who had the most frequent contact with the Huns, they knew what it meant.

"Is it difficult?" The deputy inspector hadn't yet figured out the degree of difficulty. He had originally thought that the beast master was just a minor deity worshipped by the Xiongnu, and that he could be captured without much trouble. However, judging by the general's expression, it seemed that he had other ideas.

"Is it difficult?" the general repeated.

However, the doubt in his eyes was unmistakable. This was the real key point. The key was that the person in front of him didn't even know how powerful the Beast Master was. He was holding the other person in his hands like a puppy.

"how did you do it?"

"Oh, it wasn't me. I thought it was a little god. No wonder the supervisor gave me some of the dispatching power when I came." The deputy supervisor said embarrassedly.

The general explained it to him, and he realized that this beast master was the only deity worshipped by the Xiongnu. That was truly remarkable. The Supervisor had some understanding of the Taoist system, but not the Xiongnu. He then explained to the general, "This one wasn't captured by him. Under the guidance of the all-knowing and almighty Chen Dong and Su Can, and with the dedicated efforts of a large number of talented Buddhist and Taoist figures, the Imperial Preceptor's Office has already established a basic framework."

This is also why those ministers have all gone quiet. Because it's irreversible. Then, their attitude took a 180-degree turn. They are actively contacting the Imperial Preceptor's Office, hoping to get a piece of the action. Their ability to adapt to the situation is undeniable, and even the Han Dynasty is not immune to this.

Of course, the Imperial Master’s Mansion ignored it.

Want to reap the rewards now? Too late. The Imperial Master's Mansion continued to advance at its own pace. To test the Pantheon of Heroes, Chen Dong integrated the Taoist and Buddhist systems.

In theory, whether it's the ancestral deities of Taoism or the spirits granted pardon by Buddhism, they can all be considered heroic spirits. After all, they are all spirits born from faith. Taoism is more powerful and its system is more complete. Buddhism is slightly less so, but it has also been around for hundreds of years. What Chen Dong said about false gods was correct; they have already touched the edge of deity.

The connection between Buddhism and Taoism and the Han Pantheon was quite successful.

Although the gods of these two religions only needed to intervene through the Pantheon to intervene, this was far superior to the minimal interventions they had previously inflicted. A group of Taoists were regaining their former glory. Buddhist monks followed suit, developing a system capable of receiving spiritual power at any time and in any location.

It is the power at its peak, not the power suppressed by humanity.

The strength has been improved to a higher level.

In theory, these Taoist and Buddhist deities could only be controlled by connecting to the Pantheon system. These Taoists and monks were Chen Dong's first batch of experimental subjects. The results were quite good, to be honest.

At least accommodating tens of thousands of people shouldn't be too easy for the current framework. The next step is to test the upper limit of this capacity and expand it.

After all, the Han people are not just tens of thousands, but tens of millions.

There's still a long way to go to connect everyone in the Han Dynasty. But reaching this point in just six months is a solid first step.

The deputy supervisor was, of course, part of the test. He had come to Youcheng to test whether his power could reach such a distance. The results were encouraging; even at the border of the Han Dynasty, his power hadn't weakened in the slightest.

The capture of the Beast Master wasn't their own doing, but rather the power of the Taoist deities. A group of great deities, bored to death in their own little world, finally had a chance to wander out, and they emerged in a stream. Even if ten more came, let alone the Beast Master, there wouldn't be enough to go around. These Taoist deities, having received countless offerings over millennia, have already undergone a qualitative and quantitative transformation.

His strength is not something a beast master can challenge.

So the deputy supervisor didn't think the beast master was very impressive. In his eyes, it was probably just God A coming up, and the beast master put up a few symbolic resistances before being rolled into a ball.

Of course, this time, the gods weren't idle either. They began to fully embrace the grasslands' faith, some directly incarnating themselves, others ending up in the same situation. Well, it's still a bunch of old monsters who have taken over.

You have to know that these gods born from faith are not rigid machines. They are intelligent, and quite intelligent. Of course, these deputy supervisors were unaware of this. But Chen Dong knew about it and condoned this behavior. In fact, without Chen Dong's tacit approval, these gods would not have been able to do this.

The Pantheon is like a gate.

If you have a pass, you can put on a humane mark and come out. If Chen Dong wants, he can also take back the mark and send these gods back to their own little world in a moment. This is a restriction.

Of course, there are limits, and there are also rewards. Anyone who wishes to invoke these deities must pay a price: faith. Taoist priests and monks are an exception, as they have practiced faith for millennia. For the first few hundred years, that was fine, but later, as the Han Dynasty emerged and humanity took over, faith became increasingly limited.

Therefore, the gods in the small world rarely have the opportunity to take action and have accumulated a large sum of money.

For at least hundreds or even thousands of years, relying solely on these Taoists would provide an inexhaustible source of faith. Similarly, in Buddhism, the pool of merit and faith belonged to the monks; Chen Dong had not confiscated it. Therefore, compared to ordinary people who had to accumulate merit bit by bit, the monks and Taoists naturally had a huge advantage.

These advantages will make them more than one step ahead of others, and they will become the backbone of the system built by Chen Dong. Of course, as time goes by, if the entire Han people are connected, then this huge base will inevitably lead to the emergence of a group of gifted people. They will dilute the proportion of Taoism and Buddhism.

Faith, like a panacea, can stimulate countless different systems. That's when everything will blossom.

The wisdom of one person, the wisdom of ten people, the wisdom of ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million, ten million people, the aggregation of wisdom. Chen Dong couldn't believe what kind of vision that would be.

This is also what Chen Dong envisioned.

By then, every citizen will be a soldier, and every one will be like a superman. Crucially, these forces will not be out of control; they will be directly controlled by the Lord of Humanity. The divine weapon forged by Chen Dong will become the sharpest sword ever honed by Humanity. And where Humanity intends to use this sword is clear. This sword will sever the scars of the past and exact a magnificent vengeance upon the perpetrators.

Humanity has not forgotten the suffering of the past.
