I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian

The conspiracy of Priest Sikong spread like a poisonous snake.

His men spread rumors, claiming that the new belief would bring disaster, blaspheme the gods, and subvert the ancient Dian Kingdom's thousands of years of tradition.

Rumors spread among the people like wildfire, and the originally peaceful ancient Dian Kingdom suddenly became panic-stricken.

Fear, like a plague, spread rapidly, covering every corner.

In the market, people were whispering to each other; in the fields, farmers stopped their work and looked at the sky worriedly; even the laughter of children playing disappeared, replaced by uneasy silence.

The entire ancient Dian Kingdom was shrouded in a haze.

Baona and the Queen were keenly aware of this undercurrent.

They knew they had to act quickly, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"We can't wait any longer," the Queen said with a firm look in her eyes, "we must deal with it head-on!" Baona nodded in agreement, a strong sense of responsibility surging in her heart.

The next morning, many people gathered in the square in front of the temple.

Priest Sikong stood on the platform, his face flushed, and he criticized the new faith with saliva flying everywhere.

"This heresy will tarnish our sacred faith! It will destroy our kingdom!" He roared at the top of his lungs, trying to suppress the emerging faith with his powerful deterrent power.

He waved his arms like a fanatical believer, with a fanatical gleam in his eyes.

Baona walked slowly up to the platform and stood opposite Priest Sikong.

She took a deep breath and said in a clear and firm voice, "Priest Sikong, is there any evidence for the disaster you mentioned?" Although her voice was not loud, it was clearly heard in every corner of the square.

Everyone held their breath and watched this clash of faiths.

Priest Sikong sneered: "Evidence? Do you need evidence? Since ancient times, the beliefs of our ancient Dian Kingdom..."

"Since ancient times?" Baona interrupted him, "Is everything since ancient times necessarily correct? Shouldn't we progress with the development of the times?" Her question was so powerful that Priest Sikong was speechless for a moment.

He pointed at Baona, his fingers trembling: "You...you are..."

"I'm seeking the truth!" Baona looked at him fearlessly, with wisdom shining in her eyes.

“Truth is never static; it requires us to constantly explore and innovate!”

There was a commotion in the crowd, some people were whispering, as if they were touched by Baona's words.

Seeing this, Priest Sikong became even more furious. He waved his sleeves and shouted, "Ridiculous! This is absolutely ridiculous!" He pointed at the crowd and shouted, "Are you going to believe this outsider and betray the faith of our ancestors?"

A voice rang out from the crowd: "But..."

"But the new belief is not entirely unreasonable..." The Zhuansun believer spoke hesitantly, his eyes moving back and forth between Baona and Priest Sikong, the wrinkles on his face deepening, as if a fierce struggle was going on in his heart.

His words were like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples.

The crowd, which had been somewhat wavering, began to lean towards the conservative Sikong priest.

Baona felt tremendous pressure, as if a mountain was pressing down on her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe.

She felt her palms sweating slightly and fine beads of sweat oozing from her forehead.

The air in the square seemed to be frozen, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was suffocating.

In the crowd, the voices supporting Priest Sikong grew louder and louder, surging towards Baona like a tide, almost drowning her.

Baona's heart sank. Was all her efforts going to be in vain?

A trace of anxiety, like a vine, wrapped around her heart, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

At this critical moment, a loud voice came from the crowd: "Wait!" Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Sikou religious scholar and Duanmu theologian walking side by side, with an indescribable excitement on their faces.

The religious scholar, Sikou, walked quickly to Baona's side, his eyes gleaming with surprise. He raised the ancient scroll in his hand and said loudly, "After many days of research, we have discovered that the traditional religious theories of the ancient Dian Kingdom actually already contained the seeds of a new faith!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd exploded.

People were talking about it and couldn't believe their ears.

Duanmu, a theologian known for his profoundness and pedantry, also spoke slowly, with a subtle hint of approval in his tone: "Although the form of the new faith is different from the traditional one, its core idea is similar to the religious essence of our ancient Dian Kingdom."

The religious scholar, Sikou, slowly unfolded the scroll and pointed to a passage. He excitedly said, "We've always misinterpreted this passage! Its true meaning is..." He paused, glanced at the crowd, and spoke word by word, "Tolerance and innovation!"

Baona's spirits lifted, as if she saw a ray of light in the darkness.

This sudden turn of events relaxed her tense nerves a little.

She took a deep breath and rekindled her hope.

"Priest Sikong, do you have anything else to say?" Baona's voice resounded throughout the square again. This time, her tone was full of confidence and strength.

Priest Sikong's face turned ashen, his lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a word.

He never expected that the always conservative religious scholar Sikou and the theologian Duanmu would actually stand on Baona's side.

The way the Zhuansun believers looked at Baona in the crowd also changed. The original contradiction and hesitation gradually disappeared, replaced by admiration and conviction...

He walked slowly towards Baona, his lips moving as if he wanted to say something.

Baona looked at the approaching Zhuansun believers and felt a premonition...

The Zhuansun believer walked up to Baona, bowed deeply, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "I... I am willing to accept the new faith." This short sentence was like a thunderclap, exploding in the square.

Soon after, more and more people came forward and expressed their willingness to accept the new faith.

Seeing this scene, Baona was extremely excited.

She knew that this was not only her personal victory, but also the victory of the new faith and the hope for the future development of the ancient Dian Kingdom!

She looked around, her eyes firm and powerful, "Today, we stand here not only to change our beliefs, but also to change the future of the ancient Dian Kingdom!" Her voice was like a loud bell, resounding through the square, deafening.

Together with missionaries Zhang Du and Bao Na, they carried out large-scale propaganda in various religious sites in the ancient Dian Kingdom.

Baona's speech was full of passion. She used easy-to-understand language to explain the concept of the new faith.

She is sometimes passionate, sometimes tender, sometimes witty, and sometimes deafening.

Every word and every sentence she spoke was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the people.

The people listened with fascination, their expressions changed from suspicion to trust, from resistance to acceptance.

The atmosphere was warm and full of hope, with applause and cheers rising one after another like waves.

More and more people accepted the new belief concept, and the conservative forces saw that the situation was hopeless. Priest Sikong was so angry that his face turned pale and his body trembled slightly, but he could not utter a word.

His carefully planned conspiracy was completely shattered by Baona.

His plan completely failed. He slumped in the chair with empty eyes, as if he had lost his soul.

Baona became a hero of the religious reform in the ancient Dian Kingdom and was revered by the people.

People praised her wisdom and courage, and praised her for bringing new hope to the ancient Dian Kingdom.

Baona looked at the smiling faces full of hope, and her heart was filled with joy and pride.

It was late at night, and Baona stood by the window, looking at the twinkling lights in the distance, with a thousand thoughts in her mind.

Although the faith transformation has achieved some initial results, there is still a long way to go.

She knew that this was just the beginning and greater challenges were yet to come.

Suddenly, a knock on the door broke the silence of the night.

"Come in." Baona said.

The door opened and a figure walked in. In the dim light, Baona saw a solemn look on the person's face...

"We found out..." the man whispered.
