As the Han army began organizing the soldiers to march out of the camp, the scout cavalry of the Northern Huns had already galloped back to report.

After being stable for ten days, the Northern Huns and the Dingling People were not surprised upon receiving this news. In fact, Huyan Chu had already had suspicions upon discovering the large number of patrolling soldiers from the Han army last night, and had made arrangements in advance.

Therefore, shortly after receiving the news, the Northern Huns organized everyone quickly, and even managed to gather hundreds of thousands of the scattered Miscellaneous Hun, relying on the Xianbei people who previously leaned towards the Northern Huns.

The reaction of the Dingling People was not slow either. Of course, the primary issue here was that Zhou Yu and others had no intention of concealing their movements, as the massive army formed a formation and advanced slowly.

"The Han army is just as I anticipated, which is fine," Huyan Chu said with a cold smile, at least this way the Dingling People had no chance to execute any plans.

"Qiu Linbei, come here for a moment." Huyan Chu gestured towards Qiu Linbei, believing that only Qiu Linbei could inherit his beliefs.

Qiu Linbei approached without suspicion, and Huyan Chu slowly lifted his hand to point at Qiu Linbei’s forehead. Qiu Linbei paused, and then Huyan Chu said to Qiu Linbei, "This is to ensure you stay alive, don’t die."

"What is this?" Qiu Linbei felt a glow at the center of his forehead, a sense of foreboding was in him, and when he looked at Huyan Chu, he suddenly noticed the distinct atmosphere of dusk lingering around Huyan Chu, "Chanyu, what is happening to you?"

"It’s nothing," Huyan Chu replied with a smile, "How proud the descendants of the Kunlun Deity were three hundred years ago. We even condensed the Will of the Empire, and now just look at us."

Qiu Linbei nodded silently, having heard of these stories from the oral history of the Huns, but to be honest, Qiu Linbei did not believe that the Northern Huns ever condensed the Will of the Empire, because in the legends, the Will of the Empire of the Northern Huns was shattered by Huo Qubing.

Having clearly perceived the power of the Military Spirit, Qiu Linbei completely did not believe that the supposedly unrivaled Will of the Empire as per legends would be shattered by one person, after all, even if the Military Spirit Legion remains unbroken, the Military Spirit itself cannot be shattered, let alone the Will of the Empire.

Huyan Chu observed Qiu Linbei’s expression and understood what he was thinking, but he did not say anything because he knew very well that it was not a myth, it was a fact, and the remnant Will of the Hun Empire was now within him.

[My Spiritual Talent of Prophecy allows me to see the future every year, but there’s no process, and because it’s knowing the future in advance, no matter how hard I try to change it, the outcome I get still bears a great resemblance to the future I saw, but this time the future I saw is, after all, a good ending.] Huyan Chu thought silently.

This was the biggest difference between Huyan Chu and Xun Shuang’s Spiritual Talent. Xun Shuang’s Spiritual Talent could only be used five times, but Xun Shuang could see very detailed specifics, even seeing the causes and leading factors of the future outcomes. In such a situation, the meaning of Xun Shuang’s Spiritual Talent was not in the future result, but in the various pieces of information known in advance.

Just like how Xun Shuang purposefully developed the Yingchuan Academy, purposefully brought in the Chen Family, avidly gathered the Humble Family into the Yingchuan Academy, the meaning of his Spiritual Talent was not in what the outcome would be since knowing so many details was enough for Xun Shuang to steer the future in a direction favorable to himself.

If not for Xun Shuang’s each use of his Spiritual Talent spanning too broad a scope, and involving too many characters, leading to a lack of details, if each time could be detailed to what happened every single day and what caused what, Xun Shuang’s ability would fully amount to five rebirths.

It was a pity that it was just a beautiful fantasy, if Xun Shuang compressed the temporal scope of his Spiritual Talent predictions into months, Xun Shuang could nearly see every detail, although having a precise future of one month is already quite extraordinary, yet within a still relatively stable officialdom, having detailed insights into a month could at most establish a solid foundation for your promotion, but could never dismantle the system.

Therefore, Xun Shuang used his Spiritual Talent with years as the unit for temporal scope calculation, although many details were lost, it still left Xun Shuang with plenty of hints.

As for Huyan Chu’s ability, Huyan Chu could never ascertain whether the future he peered into was the result of his inaction or the outcome of his passionate efforts. Moreover, Huyan Chu’s talent could never be controlled to see what he wanted to see, if it wasn’t for the extremely high strategic value of this talent, Huyan Chu generally wouldn’t use it.

After all, every time this talent is used, there is a great chance that Huyan Chu sees only tragic events.

Furthermore, due to Huyan Chu having no clue how to change the future he foresaw, he usually did not utilize his Spiritual Talent.

Yet, interestingly enough, one significant reason for Huyan Chu leading the army eastwards this time was also because he saw the Northern Huns successfully enter the Icefield in the future, and then moved eastward thus entering another vast plain territory.

As for how many lives will be sacrificed to achieve this outcome, Huyan Chu was prepared for it, which is also why even upon learning that Luandi Marquis had perished, Huyan Chu, though angry, did not excessively pursue Xubo Cheng’s culpability because he understood this might be one of the prices to pay.

[I think I will die here too, but it doesn’t matter anymore, at least the descendants of our Kunlun Deity will have a survival path due to my choices today, and they will thrive once again. Today, every sacrifice is worth it.] Huyan Chu took a deep breath and thought silently.
