If this Strongest Mortal was indeed the Zuo Qianhu that Ying An knew, then he could truly be called the Strongest Mortal.
Even in the Chat Group, Zuo Qianhu's strength was actually nothing special. Not to mention others, just Xiongba and Zhang Sanfeng alone were absolutely not comparable to Zuo Qianhu.
But Zuo Qianhu's glorious deeds were still enough to inspire admiration. As a mere mortal, even when directly confronting cultivators, he could suppress them, leaving no room for them to cast spells. Against a siege of monsters, even with one arm severed, he could still take down four minor demons.
He showed no fear facing a thousand-year-old centipede that dared to impersonate the Buddha. The only pity was that although Zuo Qianhu was loyal, he was inflexible.
In terms of martial arts alone, even Yan Chixia, who was once a famous judge across twenty-six provinces in Guandong and Guangxi, could never be Zuo Qianhu's opponent.
To some extent, in his world, Zuo Qianhu was indeed the Strongest Mortal. Because beyond that, it was either cultivating immortality or practicing qi. Both were paths of transformation from mortal to immortal. Only Zuo Qianhu steadfastly maintained his mortal identity, protecting the country and its people.
In Ying An's view, the Chat Group giving him the title of Strongest Mortal was well-deserved!
With Zuo Qianhu, this upright but inflexible group member, actively introducing himself to Ying An,
the other group members quickly followed suit.
This also allowed Ying An to finally learn the identity of the last Female Lead of the World.
Before Female Lead of the World revealed her identity, Ying An truly hadn't expected her to be Wanwan, the barefooted spirit from Datang world who possessed incredible martial arts and would even mentor a future empress!
Perhaps Ying An's group nickname, Celestial Saint, was truly intimidating.
Whether it was Xiongba, Wanwan, Zhang Sanfeng, or others, they all showed a distinct respect towards Ying An. Even Xiongba's respect was essentially more of a facade, but just a nickname alone made Ying An the most special existence in the Chat Group.
Ying An also had some guesses about his nickname in the Chat Group.
If nothing unexpected, this nickname was probably due to the Hong Yi template on him.
With the template, Ying An could naturally reach Hong Yi's realm as long as he steadily increased his integration.
Regardless of Hong Yi's strength, purely in terms of realm and enlightenment, he was absolutely worthy of the title of Saint.
Ying An, destined to become a Saint in the future, being given the title of Celestial Saint by the Chat Group was simply perfect.
Celestial Saint: "You all guessed correctly. I am indeed a Prince of Great Qin. And the First Emperor you all speak of is precisely my father!"
Female Lead of the World: "I never thought, Mister Ying An, that you are truly the son of the First Emperor. I wonder how long it has been since the First Emperor unified the world and became the First Emperor?"
In the Chat Group, almost no one, including Zuo Qianhu, a military officer, was uneducated.
When Wanwan suddenly asked this question, everyone immediately reacted.
From the First Emperor unifying the six states, claiming his virtue surpassed the Three Sovereigns and his achievements exceeded the Five Emperors, and calling himself the First Emperor, to his death in Shaqiu, it was only eleven years.
And after the First Emperor's death, less than half of his twenty-plus sons were recorded by name. Including his daughters, his descendants were almost completely slaughtered by Hu Hai.
Wanwan asking this question suddenly made everyone realize that perhaps Ying An, this Celestial Saint, was not well-known in history precisely because of the chaos at the end of Qin.
The doctrines of the Hundred Schools of Thought were lost, scattered, or even intentionally burned during the chaotic times. Perhaps, Ying An, this Celestial Saint, also disappeared into the river of history for this reason.
Now that Ying An has become a Chat Group member, and is even called Celestial Saint by the Chat Group, everyone naturally does not want Ying An to go down the path of being inevitably killed by Hu Hai.
Lata Daoren: "Indeed! Miss Wanwan is truly quick-witted. Prince Ying An, how long has it been since His Majesty the First Emperor unified the world?"
The Chat Group members could react, let alone Ying An. After all, compared to them, Ying An, the newcomer, was the one with the most information.
Celestial Saint: "My royal father has not yet taken full control of the government!"
Female Lead of the World: "Hmm... Did the Prince misspeak? The First Emperor hasn't taken full control of the government yet? Is the power of Qin still in Lu Buwei's hands?"
Celestial Saint: "That's right!"
Datang world.
Wanwan, dressed in a white gown, with a pair of delicate bare feet, was lazily reclining on a soft couch, a look of disbelief on her face.
Including Xiongba from the Fengyun World, Zhang Sanfeng from the Yitian World, and others, all showed incredible expressions.
Lata Daoren: "This old Daoist dares to ask, since the King of Qin has not yet taken over the government, how can the Gongzi be so sure that the King of Qin is the future First Emperor?"
Strongest Mortal: "Is this a Celestial Saint? Could it be that Gongzi Ying An already knew the future of Great Qin? But if that's the case, why... why did Great Qin fall after two generations? The Gongzi didn't even leave his name in the historical records?"
Zuo Qianhu clearly imagined something absurd.
Exquisite Chef: "Even a Celestial Saint couldn't possibly foresee the future like that, could they?"
Xiongba Tianxia: "Not necessarily. In the myriad worlds, there are all sorts of wonders. In my world, there is a remarkable person who can deduce the future, Mud Bodhisattva! He is said to have calculated all of the future. Since Gongzi Ying An is a Celestial Saint, he is naturally different from ordinary people. Perhaps... perhaps he truly can know his own future!"
Exquisite Chef: "How can such a person exist? Knowing the future, yet doing nothing?"
Strongest Mortal: "Perhaps that is what a Saint is! It's just a pity that in my world, the chaos at the end of Qin destroyed too many historical records, making it impossible for people to witness the splendor of Gongzi Ying An."
Ying An hadn't said anything himself, but the nickname Celestial Saint given to him by the Chat Group alone made the group members fall into a state of self-delusion. Ying An, even if he wanted to explain, didn't know how to begin.
However, with his current Hong Yi template, if he gradually increased the integration to a certain level and obtained the book of changes (yi jing) inheritance, then Ying An could truly achieve foresight and insight into the future.
If it were before obtaining the template system, Ying An would naturally manage the Chat Group well. But unfortunately, the current members of the Chat Group can no longer provide him with much help.
Even Xiongba and Zuo Qianhu are no exception. Who made Xiongba merely an early BOSS in the Fengyun World? Figures like the Immortal God, Bai Suzhen, Xiao Sanxiao, the Great Demon God, the Eldest Master, Mahavairocana, and Half-God are all beyond Xiongba's reach throughout the entire story.
Zuo Qianhu is similar; although his world has cultivation and immortality, Zuo Qianhu himself is merely a military officer. He clearly has no means of obtaining such an inheritance.
