Guarding the River of Time

Chapter 198: In Her Eyes the Great Dao Is Simple and All Things Are Transparent


The eldest and the third, along with Li Dong'Er, returned to the Great Woe Immortal Realm.

They immediately arranged for Li Dong'Er to live on the Immortal Island, providing her with the best living conditions.

...

On this day, the eldest and the third were discussing plans for the domain conquest battle that would take place a hundred years later.

"Big brother, shouldn't we assign a position to Dong'Er?" the third asked the eldest.

......

"Of course."

After speaking, the eldest took out a token from his sleeve, with the word "Woe" engraved on it.

"I plan to give this token to Dong'Er."

Seeing that his big brother was about to give something so important to Dong'Er, the third hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Big brother, big brother, this can't be done!"

"You must not give her special treatment just because Dong'Er is my sister, giving her such a valuable item. It's not appropriate!"

The third brother was merely asking for the eldest brother's opinion on arranging a suitable position for Dong'Er.

But the eldest brother's action of giving the "Tiger Talisman" to Dong'Er was tantamount to directly appointing Dong'Er as the Grand Marshal, the highest commander!

Upon hearing this, the eldest brother also gave him a stern look: "What are you thinking? Do you really think I'm giving her the Tiger Talisman just because Dong'Er is your sister?"

"It's because of her abilities that she ought to be the Grand Marshal, the highest commander."

"Dong'Er is of the Wisdom Divine Race. If she doesn't serve as the commander, will you?"

"With Dong'Er's wisdom and capabilities, she can oversee the entire operation, foresee the future of the battlefield, and deploy the most perfect strategy."

Upon hearing his big brother's analysis, the third brother nodded in sudden realization.

Indeed, Uncle Qingshan had once praised Dong'Er, saying she was much smarter than him.

There was once when the third brother, serving as the Heavenly Dao of a world, visited Uncle Qingshan and played a game of chess with him.

Yet, even as the Heavenly Dao, he never won a game against Uncle Qingshan!

He had unparalleled calculation, wisdom, and analytical skills during those years as the Heavenly Dao, but he never won once!

.....

Later, the third brother learned why Uncle Qingshan insisted on playing chess with him - it was because..... Uncle Qingshan never won against Dong'Er!

This alone demonstrates that Dong'Er's abilities far surpassed Uncle Qingshan!

Therefore, having Dong'Er serve as the highest commander is indeed the most fitting choice.

.....

On this day, the third brother arrived at a Cyan Tile Immortal Hall on Immortal Island and saw Dong'Er diligently carving a wooden sculpture.

"Brother Da Niu."

Sensing the third brother's presence, Li Dong'Er put down her carving, stood up, and smiled as she spoke.

Li Dong'Er's voice was pleasant, yet her tone remained calm throughout, like a tranquil pond, never stirring the slightest ripple.

"Are you settling in well?" the third brother asked.

...

"I am,"

Li Dong'Er nodded and replied.

"This is from Brother Zhong."

The third brother pulled the Tiger Talisman out from his sleeve and handed it to Li Dong'Er.

Li Dong'Er received the Tiger Talisman with both hands, glanced at it briefly, then looked up and said, "This is the Tiger Talisman. Thank you, Brother Zhong, for valuing me."

Without the third brother needing to say more, just a glance was enough for Li Dong'Er to grasp the entire situation; her intelligence had reached a certain level.

Just then, the third brother waved his hand, and before them appeared hundreds of thousands of scrolls, stacked five meters high and ten meters wide.

The third brother pointed to these scrolls and explained, "These scrolls contain the leaders, troop types, legions, commanders, and the general distribution of power within our forces. Familiarize yourself with them."

As soon as the words were said, Li Dong'Er looked at the five-meter-high stack of scrolls, scanned them for a few seconds without even opening them.

"I've finished looking," Li Dong'Er raised her head, looked at the third brother, and said calmly.

Hearing this, even the prepared third brother was shocked.

This vast amount of information on hundreds of thousands of scrolls was so complex that calling it vast as the sea seemed lacking, yet she merely glanced at it and had it all covered?!

He understood Dong'Er.

When Dong'Er said she finished looking, it wasn't just a simple glance. She remembered everything!

....

"Brother Da Niu, could you organize the detailed information?"

"Preferably detailed to every soldier, their names, characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses, the more detailed, the better."

Li Dong'Er suggested, facing the third brother.

Upon hearing her words, the third brother took a deep breath and nodded, "Alright, it'll take me some time."

...

"What?"

"You finished looking at everything?"

The eldest was also astonished beyond words upon hearing this.

Hundreds of thousands of scrolls, even at a rate of one per second, would take hundreds of thousands of seconds, right?

Most importantly, not even opening a single scroll, just one glance, and she absorbed such a vast and complex amount of information, remembering it all?

.....

"Oh, third brother, you've brought me quite the extraordinary person!"

After marveling, the eldest was full of delight.

"Dong'Er wants detailed information on every soldier?" he continued to ask.

The third brother nodded, still questioning it himself: "Yes, but isn't that workload too immense...?"

Without even considering other Great Worlds, just the ten Middle-Rank Immortal Realms and fifty Lower-Rank Immortal Realms under their command, the total number of cultivators reaches astronomical figures.

In these Immortal Realms, almost everyone is a soldier. Even within just one Immortal Realm, the number of cultivators is beyond quantification....

The number of cultivators in an Immortal Realm is in the trillions.....

.....

"Are you sure it's every single soldier, every cultivator that she needs?"

The eldest asked once more.

When it comes to commanding troops, the highest realm is knowing the name of every soldier under your command. This alone is extraordinary, equating to commanding like a god.

Dong'Er not only wants to know names but also characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses.....

Can she really remember all that?

Won't her mind become muddled?

Even the eldest himself, after so many years of commanding troops, could only remember the names of key generals because the information was so vast, too mentally taxing.

.....

"I'm certain, that's exactly what Dong'Er told me."

"Big brother, should we really gather all this information?"

The third brother was also unsure about commanding troops and asked.

Hearing this, the eldest rubbed his chin and contemplated.....

After a long period of reflection, he finally made a significant decision: "I've made up my mind. Although it's a challenging task, we must attempt it as best as we can."

"Notify all of the Great Woe Immortal Realm, ten Middle-Rank Immortal Realms, and fifty Lower-Rank Immortal Realms affected by the upcoming domain conquest battle."

"Every single soldier involved, regardless of rank or position, must submit their most detailed information."

As he spoke, he paused, realizing a serious issue.....
