Others follow advice and imitate celebrities, but you start by pretending to be a god?

But this does not affect the subtle connection between the "small cycle imprints".

Meanwhile, in the secluded retreat of Mount Jiuji, Lin Nan was immersed in cultivation.

Suddenly, he sensed some movement in the outside world, and slightly opened his eyes. His gaze was deep and calm, as if he could see through everything in the world.

“Lü Dongbin has already begun to make contact with the reincarnators,” he murmured to himself. “They will surely grow up in the future and accomplish great things for Chechi.”

The souls that came from the modern world numbered in the thousands, and Lin Nan regarded them all as "seeds".

These "seeds" are active in all walks of life in the modern world, so the roles they can play after coming into this world are also different.

When Lin Nan sent them into reincarnation, it was not intentional, but a casual act.

But in a deeper sense, this seemingly unintentional behavior actually aligns with the state of "supreme inaction".

The so-called "supreme inaction" does not mean being ignorant or doing nothing.

On the contrary, Lin Nan knew everything about the experiences of these "seeds" and the areas where they were reincarnated.

Furthermore, with just a thought, Lin Nan could glimpse a portion of the future and know what would happen to these "seeds." This omniscient ability rarely resulted in any accidents.

In this world, perhaps no powerful being other than Lin Nan could accomplish this. This is because Lin Nan is the culmination of two worlds.

In the modern world, Lin Nan's thoughts can be integrated into the network, thus achieving a kind of omniscience and omnipotence in a modern sense. With this ability, he has glimpsed and mastered the so-called "big data" method. Without relying on celestial secrets, he can see through the past and future in the modern world solely based on big data.

In the world of Journey to the West, Lin Nan's cultivation had already reached the level where he could understand the will of Heaven. With just a thought, he could see the secrets of Heaven and know the mysteries of all things in the world.

The fusion of these two methods has formed Lin Nan's unique deduction technique. This deduction technique is far superior to that of many great supernatural beings of our time.

In particular, Lin Nan knew everything about the "seeds" of reincarnation from their past lives. Under these circumstances, Lin Nan was very clear about the nature of these "seeds" and what they might encounter.

Although Lin Nan claimed he had no intention of paying attention to these "seeds," he was actually omniscient. Furthermore, through the "minor reincarnation imprint," he could exert some influence on the growth of these "seeds."

For example, Lin Nan can decide when to make them awaken to their past lives.

Thus, some "seeds" in the Tang Dynasty had awakened to their past lives, but most of the "seeds" in the Chechi Kingdom remained oblivious. Although they possessed scattered memories of their past lives, which made them extraordinary and endowed them with various talents, these memories were incomplete.

After all, what Chechi Kingdom needs now is rapid development, not instability. If it were a true transmigrator, they would definitely cause some trouble before the world's worldview is fully established.

Based on this, none of the "seeds" within the territory of Chechi Kingdom awakened their past lives. However, Lin Nan could not allow them to wander among the common people and be forgotten by the world due to various accidents.

What should I do?

At this point, the role of Lü Dongbin as a disciple becomes apparent. As the saying goes, "When the master is in trouble, the disciple helps him out."

To prevent the reincarnators in Chechi from being buried, Lü Dongbin's "small reincarnation mark" played a unique role, as it could find "seeds" from the modern world.

In the future, when Lü Dongbin grows up, he will also be able to gather all the time travelers in this world.

"If the transmigrators from the Tang Dynasty can be more capable, then the grand plan for Chechi will be just around the corner." Lin Nan pondered to himself, then slowly closed his eyes and immersed himself in cultivation again.

But before entering meditation, he couldn't help but think of those "seeds" in the East.

"In Chechi to the west, there is a time traveler who became the Grand Preceptor, a figure of the highest order, and developed Chechi into a modern place, definitely much better than the Tang Dynasty!"

Meanwhile, in Chenjia Village in Chang'an, Chen Maosheng has been unable to calm down since Li Chunfeng left.

At first, Chen Maosheng thought that Li Chunfeng might be testing him and would reappear at some point in the future. However, as time went by, his heart gradually cooled.

He no longer placed his hopes on Li Chunfeng, and was no longer willing to waste his time idly. Instead, he wanted to take the initiative to do something.

Before doing anything, he carefully reviewed the information he had gathered.

After this process of reflection, Chen Maosheng was indeed inclined to go to Chechi to seek refuge with that "senior." However, he had many concerns, and a touch of pride deep within him made him hesitate.

"That senior was able to achieve so much in Chechi, there's no reason why I should be unknown and accomplish nothing in the Tang Dynasty!" Chen Maosheng thought to himself, feeling a sense of competition.

After thinking it over, Chen Maosheng began to seriously consider how he should act.

Since learning about the existence of immortals, gods, Buddhas, and demons, Chen Maosheng has lost much interest in many things in the mortal world.

Instead, he started thinking about spiritual practice.

"Since there are gods, immortals, demons, and Buddhas in this world, then many Taoist temples or Buddhist monasteries must also have methods of cultivation," Chen Maosheng muttered to himself. "Should I go and seek enlightenment from Buddha?"

"If you want to seek Buddha's guidance, you can go to Jinshan Temple, which is the temple where Tang Sanzang became a monk."

"Besides, judging by the time, Tang Sanzang will be returning from his pilgrimage soon, so I might even get to see him."

The thought had barely crossed Chen Maosheng's mind when he immediately dismissed it.

"No, if I become a monk and cultivate Buddhism, I'll have to suppress my seven emotions and six desires. Wouldn't all my time traveling through time be for nothing? At the very least, I should become a sword immortal who lives a life of chivalry and vengeance." Chen Maosheng's mind was filled with ideas, but most of them were impractical and had to be put aside one by one.

In the end, Chen Maosheng had to face reality and decided to find his father to discuss his future.

"Father, we can't go on like this," Chen Maosheng said earnestly to his father. "Being a tenant farmer will never lead to anything in this life. Let's move to Chang'an!"

"Only in Chang'an will there be more opportunities." Chen Maosheng earnestly persuaded his father, hoping that he could leave Chenjia Village and live in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

In his view, only in that way could he obtain more opportunities.

However, to everyone's surprise, the proposal was immediately rejected by his father, Chen Shi.

“No, what will happen to our land if we go to Chang’an?” Chen Shi frowned and said seriously. “Even if we don’t cultivate it, we still have to pay taxes on time.”

“Besides that, if you are to live in Chang’an, you will need to make many preparations,” Chen Shi earnestly advised his son.

Chen Shi's words taught Chen Maosheng a lesson.

Chen Maosheng then realized that the Tang Dynasty at that time had a well-established "household registration system".

However, in Chen Maosheng's eyes, this household registration system seemed quite backward.

At that time, there was a saying: "A hundred households form a li, five li form a xiang. Villages and neighborhoods supervise each other." This describes the household registration system. Their household registration was in Chenjia Village, belonging to the agricultural category. Changing the status quo was easier said than done! In Chen Maosheng's view, the household registration system of the Tang Dynasty was far too outdated and unreasonable in every way.

In reality, for the time being, the Tang Dynasty's household registration system was already quite comprehensive. However, Chen Maosheng held this view because he came from modern times and was accustomed to the efficient and advanced systems of the modern world. Therefore, in his eyes, the Tang Dynasty's household registration system naturally appeared backward.

Even so, Chen Maosheng had no choice but to adapt. After all, he was just an ordinary citizen, his household registration clearly stating "farmer," meaning he was registered as a farmer. As a farmer, he had to pay the corresponding taxes according to regulations. Changing his household registration wasn't so easy if he wanted to move to the city.

That is why when Chen Maosheng proposed to move to Chang'an, his father Chen Shi immediately stopped him.

"Even so, there must be a way to get rid of my current household registration." Despite facing numerous difficulties, Chen Maosheng was not discouraged and still held the idea of ​​trying to change the status quo. This typical modern mindset made him accustomed to actively seeking change rather than passively accepting it.

"If you achieve excellent results in the imperial examinations, your household registration can naturally be changed, and I, your father, will also benefit from your success." Chen Shi, a native of the Tang Dynasty, placed such high hopes on his son.

Chen Maosheng naturally understood his father's thoughts and sensed the expectation in his father's words. He couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, unwilling to shatter his father's illusions. After all, he had already made other plans, abandoning the path of taking the imperial examinations and becoming an official, and instead pursuing the pursuit of immortality. But at this moment, he could only use other reasons to appease his father.

“We can go to Chang’an and do some small business there; we can live just as well,” Chen Maosheng said. “At my age, if I were to participate in the imperial examinations, I would have to wait many more years. It would be better to use this time to improve my family’s situation.”

"Moreover, the environment in Chang'an might be more conducive to my studies."

"Just as Mencius' mother moved three times to find a better place for her son, we can follow suit and move to a better place today."

Chen Maosheng's words were so logical and persuasive that they finally convinced Chen Shi, leading him to make up his mind.

Although Chen Shi was a farmer, his views had changed significantly over the years because of his son, who was known as a "child prodigy," and he now prioritized his son above all else. Therefore, when Chen Maosheng presented these reasons, he couldn't refuse and ultimately made up his mind.

“Alright, I will listen to you. For your future, we will move to Chang’an and look for opportunities to make a living there.”

Chen Maosheng nodded and comforted his father, "Don't worry, Dad. With my abilities, we'll definitely have a better life in Chang'an than we do now."

Chen Shi had no doubt about this. Since the arrival of their son, Chen Maosheng, their family had undergone many changes. Especially after Chen Maosheng "awakened" and offered several suggestions, which Chen Shi followed, the family's situation improved significantly. Now, he had even greater faith in his prodigy son's abilities.

The Tang Dynasty's household registration system, while still acceptable by today's standards, implemented a "land equalization system." However, in the long run, this very system became one of the reasons for the Tang Dynasty's eventual demise as it grew stronger. This is a conclusion reached by many historians through their research.

"Household registration... My sister and I are now refugees; our original household registration no longer exists." In a city on the outskirts of the Tang Dynasty, a little beggar sat by the roadside, holding the hand of a timid little girl. Both were dressed in rags. This little beggar was one of the thousands of transmigrators from the modern world.

Moreover, his experience was the most tragic. Most of the other transmigrators had a good start, but Fang Han suffered such a miserable fate. If he hadn't awakened his modern memories from his previous life in time, he would probably have already passed away and been reincarnated.

At this moment, Fang Han, holding his younger sister's hand tightly, sat by the roadside, casually placing the porcelain bowl with several chips in front of him, waiting expectantly for a kind person to give him alms. While holding his younger sister tightly, he pondered in his heart how to proceed.

"If we want to survive, the first problem we need to solve is still the household registration system..."

"The current status of being a vagrant is not sustainable; one can only wander outside of cities where people live."

"However, getting through the household registration hurdle is just too difficult."

As he thought about it, Fang Han couldn't help but smile bitterly, his mind once again filled with the hidden secrets of his past.

Fang Han was born into a well-off family, but his entire family suffered a devastating tragedy in an accident, with some dying and others scattered. They died without even a chance for revenge, simply because their family background was incompatible with the Tang Dynasty.

In layman's terms, Fang Han's family were "remnants of the previous dynasty." After awakening his modern memories from his past life, Fang Han's memory greatly improved, and he learned this from those memories.

Therefore, even though Fang Han is now a vagrant beggar, he dares not return to his original family home to restore his household registration.

“My old household registration is no longer valid. If I want to settle down, I have to find another identity.” Fang Han looked at the people coming and going in the city, his heart filled with distress.

He was originally a modern man, possessing an inherent pride and lofty ambitions, but now he had no choice but to bow to reality. He had been begging for a long time, yet still couldn't find a stable place to live. However, the transmigrator's pride wasn't extinguished; instead, another emotion was brewing within him.
