Spirit cultivation and immortality, how do you control an aircraft carrier?

These words contain both truth and falsehood.

The real reason is Shen Huang's determination to pursue extraordinary power. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent the time he should have been enjoying wealth on the path of pursuing supernatural power.

The false part was to cover up the most crucial information—that the place he was in before had no cultivation, no gray fog, and no supernatural power.

The difficulty lies in explaining why Shen Huang, despite possessing such powerful talent, seems to have had little to no contact with spiritual energy, let alone cultivate any techniques.

If it can't be caused by the environment, then it must be caused by human actions.

Although the plot may sound a bit melodramatic, melodrama also means classic, easy to understand, and relatable. And in reality, melodramatic things have never been lacking either.

That was a background design meticulously prepared for him by hundreds of strategic elites who worked tirelessly day and night.

Moreover, it was a nearly perfect answer tailored to his own personality and habits.

Even Shen Huang himself felt it was incredibly real.

With such preparations, what's there to be nervous about?

Sure enough, a sense of understanding surfaced in the township head's heart.

Although it was just a few simple words, his mind had already automatically filled in the gaps in the disputes within the powerful forces, especially those involving successors, competition among juniors, and entanglements of interests.

If a person who has lost their parents and elders, yet possesses a special identity, were to also have a strong talent for cultivation, it would undoubtedly harm the interests of many people.

Similar things are not uncommon in any world, in any collectivized society or civilization.

However, the township head clearly had no intention of letting the matter rest.

"I see. You've had a tough time too," he said slowly. "But how did you get here?"

This is also a crucial issue.

As far as the township head knew, the only place where the language was not spoken was another country. And between countries, the distances were often far. Especially now that the sky was full of dangers, even powerful beings dared not easily take to the air unless they used a space teleportation array or had a powerful being escort them from the ground. Only then was it possible to cross a country.

However, regarding the former, although he did not know where Jiguo's old teleportation array was located, it certainly wouldn't be nearby.

However, if there truly is a powerful being capable of escorting someone for such a long distance, then the latter would be in danger.

There is no reason to just leave it here.

"There are still some karmic ties left by my elders in my family." Shen Huang remained calm, yet answered quite frankly, "I went through countless hardships to find them, used them to break the seal on me, and then teleported me here. That completes the karmic debt."

"..." The township head paused slightly as he was about to lift the teapot.

Teleported here?

He had considered using a teleportation array or ground escort, but he never expected to be teleported directly here!

Those who could accomplish this were completely beyond his comprehension.

However, the township head recalled that a few days ago he had sent a spirit to investigate, and the person had indeed left no trace where he arrived, as if he had appeared suddenly.

He was looking at Shen Huang, and his gaze had subtly changed.

Although we had already taken it seriously enough before, at this moment, a faint trace of awe appeared.

However, he wouldn't believe such an absurd thing just because of Shen Huang's words.

"I've always been curious about other cultures," the village head said, narrowing his eyes slightly, but quickly changing the subject. He poured Shen Huang another cup of tea. "Would you be so kind as to teach me?"

"Of course it's possible." Shen Huang raised his head slightly, even feeling a surge of joy.

He originally came from another country, and this is the biggest evidence to support his claim!

A perfect lie must be nine parts truth and one part falsehood.

Most things about our home planet, especially traditional culture and mythology, need not be hidden; they only need to be roughly modified to conform to the understanding of this world.

The only thing that must be absolutely concealed is that the home planet does not belong to this world and that there is no supernatural power on it.

"My race is called 'Huaxia'. According to historical records, it has existed for tens of thousands of years, during which there have been several changes of dynasties. In the early days, there was the saying of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, but it is too ancient. For my generation, it is almost a myth..." Shen Huang spoke fluently, explaining this specially modified version of history in great detail.

The township head would occasionally chime in with his own questions.

Shen Huang answered all the questions fluently.

After all, these are just modifications, not complete fabrications.

The more the township head talked and asked questions, the more shocked he became.

From the other party's words, a celestial dynasty with a long history and unparalleled power gradually emerged.

Moreover, he specifically chose several tricky areas, and answered them all fluently.

That vast vocabulary, countless allusions, and complete history cannot be fabricated at will.

The pride and sense of belonging the other person exudes when recounting these things are absolutely genuine.

Such conviction is impossible without a strong foundation.

In comparison, their country's foundation seems rather weak.

The head guard, He, was completely dumbfounded. His gaze towards Shen Huang was not one of awe, but rather one that was written all over his face.

This person has such an illustrious background!

No wonder this person seems out of place here.

Compared to that vibrant and prosperous place, how can they, and these people, compare?

He couldn't help but feel a mix of inferiority and longing in his heart.

"Since the Great Calamity descended upon the world, life has not been easy for my Huaxia people either." Shen Huang's tone calmed down slightly at this point, then turned somewhat helpless. "Like here, the gray fog occupies most of the area, resources are insufficient, and cultivators can hardly sustain themselves. So they chose to raise the threshold, strictly control cultivation methods, and separate immortals from mortals. Even though my identity is not ordinary, once I am judged to be unable to cultivate, I am not allowed to participate in it in the slightest... Heh."

The last two lines, delivered with a light laugh, perfectly conveyed his resentment.

At this point, the township head completely believed everything.

These statements are absolutely flawless.

At least, he couldn't tell.

The profound cultural heritage of Guang is irrefutable proof.

"Fellow Daoist Shen." The village head had already subtly changed his form of address. After taking a sip of tea, he pondered and said, "Fellow Daoist Shen has an extraordinary background, but I am merely a mere Transcendent Realm cultivator..."

"The township head need not worry." Shen Huang naturally understood what the township head meant, and simply chuckled. "If there were still karmic dangers behind me, how could I dare to tell the truth about everything? The reason I fled at all costs was to sever the karmic ties. Besides, I have made full preparations. Those people will only think that I am already dead."

At this point, Shen Huang couldn't help but admire the thoroughness of the preparations made by the strategic analysis department.
