I am a living immortal.

At this moment, the reason why Chen Dong came here was beginning to become clear. And even though Su Can was deep in his sleep, he was still planning something for the final decisive battle. As time passed, the final battle was not far away. At least this made Su Can feel that time was running out, and he had to make other plans at this most critical moment.

This sword is sharp, but the energy and time required to truly achieve it are definitely not short. To truly transform, one must go through the tempering of time, neither too fast nor too slow.

Chen Dong is far more important than anyone imagines.

When the Daoist gods replaced the Beast Master's faith, the stone statues worshipped by the various tribes on the grasslands unknowingly changed their appearance. However, these people did not notice the slightest aberration.

.........

After hearing the deputy supervisor's description, the general was truly shocked. He had always known Chen Dong was extraordinary, but he had never imagined he could achieve such a degree. He single-handedly challenged the existing order, and crucially, succeeded. In just six months, he could imagine the turmoil in the capital.

His invitation was abrupt at first.

If Chen Dong really came to the Zhenbei Army, it would be considered a burying of the other party. Then he would also be a great sinner to the Han Dynasty. He patted his chest. What a close call. But this also made him feel a little emotional and sighed.

Of course, that was definitely a good thing for the Zhenbei Army. While those annoying shamans weren't all dead, it's important to remember that the shamans who participated in the rituals were highly respected. Their respect stemmed from their strength. Even without a beast master, such beings were inherently powerful.

To become a true shaman, simply being able to communicate with the beast master is merely the most basic. True strength lies not in the power bestowed by the beast master, but in the experience and knowledge accumulated over time. A true shaman must be well-versed in astronomy, geography, and medicine, while also being a formidable warrior and an elusive assassin.

Ultimately, they are considered followers of the Beast Master, endowed with power and the ability to communicate with the beasts. Often, a shaman will only teach one apprentice, passing on his legacy. This takes time. The loss of over a dozen shamans during this ritual is too much for any tribe, not even the most powerful royal court. The loss of resources for each death is astronomical. Training a new one is even more challenging, requiring both time and resources.

Under these circumstances, the royal court ran out of time. This time, luck was on their side. While the shamans were focused on listening to the beast master, he was assaulted by the crowd. The onlookers, before they could escape, were slain by the Buddhist and Taoist spirits. The mental trauma directly impacted their bodies, leading to the simultaneous deaths of the shamans.

The gates are wide open, who else can we attack? Under normal circumstances, these shamans' skulls wouldn't be so easily cracked. So, God bless the Han, and luck is on their side. The Xiongnu's anger was genuine, for they were about to face a situation where no one could be relied upon. And don't forget that these gods completely replaced the Beast Master's faith. Naturally, those Beast Master shamans were lumped under the rubrics of Buddhism and Taoism. Unknowingly, they'd transformed themselves into something else entirely. Even more despairing, this influence was subtle and silent. The shamans were oblivious. Had they not witnessed the Beast Master being balled up and then eaten, the shamans of the royal court wouldn't have known either.

These are all eyeliners.

The fall of the royal court was inevitable. However, the Xiongnu had not yet realized the seriousness of the situation. They simply believed that the beast master had been killed by the Han people in unknown ways.

Thinking of this, the general looked at the deputy supervisor with a fiery look in his eyes: "Can you stay?"

"Sorry, my mission is complete. I have to send the beast master back. This is an indispensable material."

Creating a Heroic Spirit is not as simple as one might imagine. Everyone knows that Heroic Spirits are born from faith. But how, where, and why they are born remains unknown. It's like boiling water: people know it boils, but why it boils remains to be seen.

Such research ultimately requires samples. Now that Buddhism and Taoism have submitted to the Imperial Preceptorate, it's difficult for the Imperial Preceptorate to target their deities. So, they have to search among the people. While they've found some, they're not very strong. They were sufficient at first, but eventually, they weren't. They needed stronger samples.

Thus, the beast masters worshipped by the Xiongnu came into the sight of the Imperial Master's Office. The witches revered by the Baiyue were also their targets. A group of Taoist priests and monks had even begun poring over biographies, preparing to dig up and dissect every cult that had existed, declined, or still existed. They wanted to see if the weakening of faith affected the spirits born. Then, they wanted to see if these spirits still existed after faith vanished. If so, what was their state? If not, they needed to study how to mitigate their extinction in the absence of sufficient faith.

The monks and Taoists were so strict that they were almost crazy. Although this was just a branch within the larger framework.

However, Chen Dong increasingly admired this kind of temperament. It was precisely because of this temperament that many people were able to draw inferences from one example without requiring much guidance from him. This greatly accelerated the progress of the framework construction.

Under this influence, the people in the original Heavenly Supervisor Department also unknowingly joined in. This was also the reason why the Deputy Supervisor refused. He was really busy and had to send the Beast Master back as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would not be him who went, but a group of monks and Taoist priests who hurried over.

Now with the great teleportation formation, distances of thousands of miles are no longer unattainable. While these Taoists and monks can't teleport over such vast distances, they can easily make multiple connections. This depends on the number of nodes the Han people have, which would be practically everywhere. These people can drive wherever they go, revolutionizing travel. Of course, not everyone can afford such an expensive formation. At least not until ordinary people develop faith.

Yes, that's right. One branch of this larger framework is the faith-based quantitative currency system being researched by the Tianjian Division. While it hasn't been successful yet, the vision is quite promising. After all, if this system is completed, even ordinary people will be able to use magical powers like the Teleportation Array.
