Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2088 The Head of the Martial Temple, the Four Unrivaled Gods

Next up is the last balancing character in this round of balancing.

Overall, the quality of this balance is quite good.

The seven people who were balanced out earlier were almost all famous emperors from various countries, the best among those in the profession of emperor.

In fact, some of these emperors were among the top figures in the world.

From this perspective, the quality of the characters this time is absolutely top-notch.

However, compared to the quality of the balance, the quality they carried, and even the number of characters they carried, was several levels worse than in the previous balances.

Next, let's see how good the last one is.

"Ding, the last person to balance, Jiang Shang, with a command of 103, strength of 54, intelligence of 103, politics of 101, and charm of 101."

Implanted identity: The first disciple of the second generation of the Chan Sect and even the first disciple of the contemporary Daoist sect, and the last disciple of the Jade Purity Primordial Beginning.

Carried by: Ji Chang, Tai Si, Bo Yikao, Ji Dan, Ji Shi, Ji Gao, Rong Gong, Nangong Shi, San Yisheng, Mao Gong Sui, Xin Jia, Xin Mian, Tai Dian, and Hong Yao.

Four categories exceeding 100, a god-level figure!

So far, Wang Yu has met quite a few powerful figures, and among them, he has met countless individuals with outstanding attributes!
However, Jiang Shang's attribute was still more luxurious than he had ever seen before!

The Four Gods level—who else in the same era could reach this level?

In fact, not only in the same era, but throughout history, who can compare with it?

Although Jiang Ziya is certainly not the one with the highest overall attribute value, that's only because he has a weakness in martial arts. But he is definitely one of the top in terms of overall ability.

This is a true all-rounder, a talent with no weaknesses!
Compared to him, it seems that even figures like Guan Zhong and Zhuge Liang have shortcomings.

Moreover, this Jiang Shang is clearly the historical figure Jiang Shang, the military lord, and not Jiang Ziya from the feudal fiction.

After all, Jiang Ziya in the Investiture of the Gods basically relied on summoning people to his cause throughout the entire process, so he was not qualified to become the chief priest of the Temple of Martial Arts. Even people like Zhang Liang, Han Xin, and Zhuge Liang could only serve as attendants to King Wu Cheng, Jiang Taigong.

According to numerous ancient texts, Jiang Taigong was not only a statesman skilled in economics, governance, and assisting in administration, but also hailed by later generations as the "founding father" of military strategy. Sima Qian once said, "Later generations' discussions of military affairs and the Zhou dynasty's covert strategies all trace back to Taigong as their fundamental strategist."

In fact, since the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, military strategies attributed to Jiang Taigong have appeared frequently in an attempt to capitalize on his popularity. For example, there is the "Taigong Yinfu," which made Su Qin "kneel and recite" it; and there is the "Taigong Bingfa," which changed Zhang Liang's fate.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were no fewer than ten military books attributed to Taigong; it was not until the nineteenth year of the Kaiyuan era of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang that the court "established the Temple of Qi Taigong and paired it with Zhang Liang".

From this point on, Jiang Taigong was officially recognized and became a national-level sacrificial figure.

During the reign of Emperor Suzong of Tang, Jiang Ziya was "promoted" to King Wucheng, standing alongside Confucius, King Wenxuan, and the temples dedicated to both Wen and Wu were thus passed down to later generations.

As early as the Western Han Dynasty, Jiang Taigong was already depicted as an immortal in the "Biographies of Immortals". By the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jiang Taigong had been further "deified".

According to the "Lunheng·Huiguo" chapter, "Some books say that when King Wu attacked King Zhou, Taigong secretly fed infants with cinnabar, making their bodies pure red. When they grew up, he taught them to say that the Shang dynasty was about to fall. The people of Shang saw that the infants' bodies were red and thought they were gods. When they heard that the Shang dynasty was about to fall, they all said that the Shang dynasty had been destroyed."

It should be noted that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the concepts of the interaction between Heaven and humanity, the Five Elements, and apocryphal texts were prevalent. Influenced by this, legendary historical figures like Jiang Ziya inevitably acquired mythological qualities.

During the Wei, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, Taoism was further developed. Figures such as the Queen Mother of the West and Jiang Ziya were absorbed into it and continuously elaborated upon, becoming an important part of the Taoist mythological system.

A figure like Jiang Ziya has absolutely no need for any general's spirit. Given his historical status, the assistance that the general's spirit in the novel could provide him would be negligible.

After all, even if Jiang Ziya's spirit from the Investiture of the Gods were to emerge, it would at most increase his martial prowess.

However, even in terms of martial prowess, Jiang Ziya in the Investiture of the Gods was limited.

After all, even if he were given a martial arts-type spirit, such a person wouldn't be capable of hand-to-hand combat. That would be a complete waste of talent.

Not to mention, given Jiang Ziya's martial prowess in Investiture of the Gods, if someone like him were to engage in hand-to-hand combat and were to die accidentally, it would truly be a case of losing the watermelon while picking up a sesame seed!
"Ding, balance complete. The current host has 1641 summoning points, 1 Chaotic Summoning Card, 1 Grandmaster Chaotic Summoning Card, 2 God-level Talent Summoning Cards, and 1 God-level Battle Spirit remaining."

This balancing operation involves eight characters. The host must designate one character from among those characters they are paired with. The system will then randomly select three more, for a total of four, to be implanted into the host's faction.

In this balance update, the number of characters that can be carried by the balanced character is the fewest in any previous balance update.

In fact, there was more than one person involved, and they didn't bring any other people with them at all.

Comparatively speaking, there aren't many candidates who can be selected as the chosen characters for this draw.

Huo Guang and Ji Dan are naturally popular candidates for this designated character draw!

Both of these individuals are undoubtedly top-tier political talents.

Igor and Igor, these two, are like wind instruments, they are the benchmarks for countless ancient people.

Huo Guang, one of the Yi and Huo leaders, had previously demonstrated his political talent, making him undoubtedly a god-level political genius.

As for Ji Dan, his status among the founding heroes of the Western Zhou Dynasty was in no way inferior to that of Taigong Wang.

Perhaps in terms of military strategy, Ji Dan was inferior to Taigong Wang. However, in terms of politics, Ji Dan was actually superior to Taigong Wang.

Ji Dan was not only a founding father of the Western Zhou Dynasty, but also an outstanding politician, military strategist, thinker, and educator. He was also known as the "Sage of the Zhou Dynasty" and a pioneer of Confucianism. Because his fief was in Zhou, he was called Duke of Zhou.

The achievements of the Duke of Zhou are summarized in the "Shangshu Dazhuan" as follows: "He quelled the chaos in the first year, conquered Yin in the second year, subdued Yan in the third year, established the Marquisate and Wei in the fourth year, built Chengzhou in the fifth year, established rites and music in the sixth year, and returned the government to King Cheng in the seventh year."

After King Wu of Zhou passed away, King Cheng was still young, and the Duke of Zhou acted as regent. Guan Shu, Cai Shu, Huo Shu, and others were dissatisfied and joined forces with the Yin noble Wu Geng and the Dongyi to rebel.

Duke Dan of Zhou led his army on an eastern expedition, quelled the rebellion, and destroyed the Yan state. He then enfeoffed numerous vassal states and built the capital, Luoyang, in the capital city of Chengzhou. He also established rites and music, becoming a major creator of the Western Zhou's institutional system. He advocated "enlightened virtue and cautious punishment," governing the country with rites, thus laying the foundation for the "Rule of Cheng and Kang." During the reigns of Cheng and Kang, the world was at peace, and punishments were not used for over forty years.

It is said that Jiang Ziya gave the Zhou Dynasty eight hundred years of national fortune, but if it weren't for Ji Dan's "Rule of Cheng and Kang", the Zhou Dynasty might not have even had a hundred years of national fortune.

This character is definitely the one with the highest overall quality among all the characters.

Aside from Ji Dan and Huo Guang, two god-level political talents, although the Drunkard, Butcher, Xiong Chumo, and Head Lecturer must also have celestial-level cultivation, these three cannot compare with the likes of Huo Guang and Ji Dan in terms of value.

Especially Xiong Chumo, who is at most a celestial floor tile.

Huo Guang and Ji Dan were true pillars of the state, figures who could bring the world to those who possessed them. But what could the likes of the drunkard, the butcher, and Xiong Chumo do besides being high-level henchmen?
In fact, of these four, the first two were cowards, the third was incompetent, and the head lecturer was too unbalanced in his studies; they might not even be able to handle being high-level henchmen properly.

Like the Kunpeng, although it can be a bit cunning at times, its strength is undeniable, and it plays the role of a high-level henchman very well.

Of course, besides these two, there is also Wei Zifu, who may also be considered as one of the alternatives!

After all, there is a considerable probability that Wei Zifu was bound to the two pillars of the Han Dynasty, and it is also possible that Huo Qubing's younger brother, Huo Guang, was also bound to her.

Although Huo Guang and Huo Qubing were half-brothers, strictly speaking, Wei Zifu and Huo Guang were not actually related by blood. However, because of Huo Qubing's existence, they were somewhat related by marriage.

Therefore, although it is certainly impossible for him to compare with Wei Qing or Huo Qubing in terms of probability, it is not entirely impossible.

Furthermore, even without Huo Guang, and unable to support three people, supporting two people would still be a profitable proposition, if not a loss.

Unfortunately, this time, although Huo Guang was among the people Liu Che brought with him, neither of the two pillars of the Han Dynasty appeared.

Wei Zifu alone was directly associated with two, or even three, great talents, and they were even god-level talents.

However, this time, neither of the two great beauties of the Han Dynasty appeared among the characters carried, so whether to choose Wei Zifu or Ji Dan is something that needs to be carefully considered.

Even if there's a significant chance that the "Twin Pillars of the Han Dynasty" technique would be implanted in Wei Zifu's body later on, it's not an absolute certainty; unexpected events can occur.

On the other hand, Ji Dan is an absolutely reliable god-level political talent, and his political ability is definitely among the top even among god-level figures.

At the very least, his political abilities far surpass those of Jiang Ziya. In this respect, he is far superior to Huo Guang, whose political attributes had only just reached a god-like level.

So, should we play it safe, or take a gamble and turn a small investment into a huge success?

this is a problem!
"System, select Ji Dan!"

In the end, Wang Yu decided to play it safe!
After all, as one of the founding fathers of the Western Zhou Dynasty who was almost on par with Jiang Ziya, his political ability was among the best of all political talents.

Such a person, who is likely a high-level god-level talent, is someone that everyone in the entire god-level ranks can compare to.

In the future, he will definitely become a prime minister-level figure.

Without a doubt, if you want to conquer the world, a high-level, god-like talent is extremely sought after! After all, no matter how elite the soldiers or how fierce the generals, without these people to support your logistics, you're just a bunch of spineless cowards!

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired Ji Dan, the son of the Marquis of Xibo in the Great Wu Dynasty. He is from the same lineage as Ji Yansheng, the Duke of Xiliang. He is a member of a branch of the Ji family. The three families in the northwest were occupied by the Mongols, and the foundation of the Marquis of Xibo's lineage was destroyed. Therefore, the Marquis of Xibo's lineage split again. One part joined the lineage of the Duke of Xiliang, and the other part went to the Cang and Wei dynasties. Ji Dan came to Cang because of this and was recommended to the host by his friend Wang Zhi."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining Xiahou, the implanted identity, a disciple of the Demonic Sect, and a general who surrendered in the Battle of Henan."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining Xia Tian, ​​the implanted identity, a disciple of the Demon Sect, who surrendered to Han after Cang's defeat in the Battle of Henan."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have been granted the title of Head Lecturer of Mahayana Buddhism. You are currently located within the Great Thunderclap Temple and are opening its gates to recruit disciples."

The remaining individuals were all from the same group, which is quite rare.

And among the remaining randomly selected characters, a gold card was drawn once again.

Although the head lecturer is somewhat unbalanced in his studies, he still possesses the strength of a celestial being.

Of course, the head lecturer's specialization in one subject is exceptionally severe!

Among those of the same cultivation level, who is slower than him? But correspondingly, among those of the same cultivation level, who has higher defense than him?
The head of the sermon hall is a true tortoise shell; all his stat points are invested in defense!
Yuan Shisan's arrows were always successful, but he suffered the biggest defeat in history against the head lecturer!
However, like Zhunti and others in the past, the chief lecturer did not directly implant himself into the Han Dynasty's territory.

Of course, Wang Yu didn't pay too much attention to this.

After all, aside from the ordinary disciples, half of the Mahayana Buddhist masters had already entered the Han Dynasty.

The Great Thunderclap Temple, the main gate of Mahayana Buddhism, is located on the frontier of the Great Wu.

Mahayana Buddhism has finally managed to rebuild this temple, and it has taken decades to see some progress, so of course it needs to be carefully watched over.

Moreover, Mahayana Buddhism has been extremely busy these past few years.

With the expiration of the agreement between Gu Qingzhu and Mahayana Buddhism, Gu Qingzhu no longer restricted Mahayana Buddhism's expansion and missionary work.

Previously, Mahayana Buddhism could only spread its teachings within its own limited territory, and could not even openly recruit disciples in other regions. Therefore, its development over the past few decades has been slow.

However, with the lifting of this restriction, Mahayana Buddhism will naturally usher in a period of rapid development.

Ultimately, their foundation lies here.

Furthermore, while Confucianism restricted them, it also protected them to some extent.

After that battle, too many people were watching them. If they didn't keep a low profile, even with Gu Qingzhu's agreement, others might still try to sabotage them behind the scenes.
