Chapter 237 The Taoist Priest's Dialogue with the Military Spirit
The command center was deathly silent.
Everyone stared at the images on the big screen, at the sacred and majestic figures, and at the shocking data.
No one speaks.
No one even dared to breathe loudly.
Because everyone clearly recognizes one fact...
The Age of Myths has arrived!
And at this time...
Great Xia, without gods!
Or rather, apart from Master Li, no other being manifested divine power.
This is an extremely unfavorable situation for the Great Xia Dynasty.
An imbalance of power will inevitably lead to extremely terrible consequences.
President Qin stood there, silent for a long time.
Behind me, people started whispering among themselves.
"What should we do...?"
"With so many gods descending to earth, we..."
"Can Master Li withstand it?"
The voices were very soft, but President Qin heard them clearly.
He suddenly turned around and slammed his hand on the table.
"What are you all whispering about?"
President Qin's voice was loud, echoing in the silent command hall.
"Scared?!"
No one answered.
But those bowed heads and those evasive eyes said it all.
There was a few seconds of silence.
One person spoke with difficulty:
"President Qin, nowadays every country has gods descending to earth, but we..."
He didn't finish his sentence.
But everyone understood what he meant.
In the Great Xia Dynasty, there were no gods.
There was only one Taoist priest, Master Li.
Even if Master Li is powerful, he is still just one person.
If a war breaks out... can we stop so many?
"So what?!"
President Qin looked around, his gaze sweeping across everyone's face, his voice resolute.
"Everyone!"
"From ancient times to the present..."
Our ancestors fought against nature!
Our ancestors overcame countless obstacles!
"That's how the great and magnificent China was built!"
"Now, you're afraid of even the slightest difficulty?"
His gaze burned like a torch.
"Ask yourselves honestly, are you worthy to be called descendants of Yan and Huang?!"
Those words struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.
Some people clenched their fists.
Some people gritted their teeth.
Some people blushed.
"Get your act together, all of you!"
President Qin's voice echoed in the command center.
"If any link in the chain goes wrong or drops the ball, I'll strip you of your citizenship!"
"yes!"
Everyone responded in unison.
The voices were perfectly synchronized and resounded throughout the hall.
Then, everyone turned around and went about their business.
The sounds of keyboard typing, telephone ringing, and reports rang out again.
But this time, it was more powerful and more determined than before.
President Qin stood there, watching the busy figures, and remained silent for a long time.
Then he turned around and sat down on the chair next to him.
He leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh.
The determination on his face slowly faded.
Instead, there was a deep sense of exhaustion.
and also……
A deep-seated worry.
He knew that the world could never go back to what it was before.
The situation is too complicated now.
He had no idea where the future of Great Xia would lead.
Master Li said he would take action.
But can the Taoist priest withstand it?
President Qin didn't know.
He rubbed his face, trying to dispel the various thoughts.
Then he stood up and walked to the window.
Outside the window, sunlight streamed in from the east, falling warmly on him.
President Qin took a deep breath and clenched his fist.
So what if there is no God?
We now possess not only an iron will.
We still have steel!
And there's also Master Li!
His gaze grew increasingly resolute.
Cola Novels: This is where dreams begin, and where dreams come true.
No matter what the future holds, the Great Xia Dynasty will not fall.
……
Lu County, Qingfeng Temple.
After returning to his room, Li Jun took the fish-shaped tally from his waist and placed it on the table.
The fish-shaped talisman lay quietly on the table, as always, its surface smooth and warm, gleaming with a soft, luminous sheen.
But at this moment, Li Jun's gaze towards it was different.
He stared at the fish-shaped talisman and remained silent for a moment.
Then, he reached out and gently tapped the fish-shaped talisman.
"Let's go out and talk."
His voice was calm.
"I know you can hear me."
Before the words were finished...
Buzz!
The fish-shaped talisman suddenly burst forth with a bright light!
The light was bright, but not dazzling; instead, it had a gentle, warm feel to it.
Immediately afterwards, a figure appeared from the fish-shaped talisman.
It was a man.
He was tall with broad shoulders and a wide back, and wore a suit of gleaming armor that shimmered with a metallic sheen in the light.
His face was resolute, with thick, sharp eyebrows and a short beard, exuding an aura of steely resolve that came from countless battles.
As soon as he appeared, he immediately knelt down on one knee.
But an invisible force gently supported him.
The man paused for a moment, then looked up at Li Jun.
In those eyes, there was awe, and an emotion that was hard to describe.
He straightened up and clasped his hands in a salute.
"This humble general, Han Tieyi, Colonel of the Anxi Protectorate, pays his respects to Your Excellency!"
His voice was loud and clear, full of energy.
Even after a thousand years, that iron-blooded spirit has not faded.
Li Jun nodded.
"General Han, there's no need for such formalities."
Han Tieyi straightened up, stood there, and looked at Li Jun respectfully.
"This humble general..."
But he hadn't finished speaking...
hum!
The fish-shaped talisman glowed again.
Another figure emerged from the fish-shaped talisman.
This time it was a young man, in his early twenties, wearing light armor, with a handsome face, looking more like a scholar than a soldier.
"Chen Qing, Commander of the Anxi Protectorate, pays his respects to Your Majesty!"
hum!hum!hum!
The fish-shaped talisman began to glow continuously.
One figure after another appeared from the fish-shaped talisman.
Some wore heavy armor, some wore light armor, and some wore leather armor.
Some carried long spears, some carried waist knives, and some carried bows and crossbows.
"Zhang Heng, Commander of the Anxi Protectorate, pays his respects to Your Majesty!"
"Ma Rushan, the captain of the Anxi Protectorate, pays his respects to Your Majesty!"
"Zhao Shitou, the fire chief of the Anxi Protectorate, pays his respects to Your Excellency!"
"Anxi..."
One by one.
The sounds rose and fell.
Li Jun stood by the table, watching the figures constantly appearing, and his eyes twitched.
forget.
This fish-shaped talisman contains eight hundred heroic spirits.
If they all came out, the entire Qingfeng Temple wouldn't be able to hold them all.
Li Jun remained outwardly calm, and said indifferently:
"Alright."
Before the words were finished...
The heroic spirits that were still manifesting from the fish-shaped talisman stopped instantly.
One of the heroic spirits, which had already manifested half of its body, was directly pressed back down by an invisible force.
The spirit was stunned, its mouth agape, its eyes filled with regret.
It was so close!
Then I can hear His Majesty's teachings in person!
Inside the room, the manifested heroic spirits stood in perfect formation, not a single one uttering a sound.
It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Looking at the heroic spirits before him, Li Jun felt a mix of emotions.
He remained silent for a few seconds.
Then, he looked at Han Tieyi.
"General Han."
Han Tieyi stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Your subordinate is here!"
Li Jun looked at him, her tone calm.
"Tell me, what have you been doing all this time that I don't know about?"
Han Tieyi was stunned for a moment.
Then, he scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.
