One by one, ancient forces emerged, and the phenomena they caused upon appearing could even influence several surrounding provinces.

As the relevant information spread online, it instantly sparked a craze across the Great Qin Empire.

Through cultivation, making oneself stronger and becoming the extraordinary of one's dreams — this was the first thought that popped into the minds of many ordinary people in the Great Qin Empire after seeing the news online.

After the Spiritual Energy Revival, the world changed dramatically, and extraordinary beings emerged.

Although there were many extraordinary beings in the world and in the Great Qin Empire, compared to the entire population of the Great Qin Empire, the number of extraordinaries was still very small, with most remaining ordinary people.

After all, the population base of the Great Qin Empire was simply too large, and becoming an extraordinary person wasn't easy; a Spirit Fruit that could awaken one's Talent Ability was a highly coveted item that most people could only dream of obtaining.

In these turbulent times, who wouldn't want to become a strong person, mastering their own destiny?

Especially as the Black Demon Tiger and Qiongqi continued to massacre cities in the Great Qin Empire, the number of ordinary people dying at their hands became countless, directly pushing the sense of crisis for ordinary citizens to its peak.

Living in constant fear was truly unbearable.

Now with major forces widely recruiting disciples, it suddenly gave these ordinary people a glimmer of hope, even if it was just a shred.

Though there were thresholds for disciple recruitment, with many requiring certain qualifications, it did not stop people from trying.

After all, only by trying could one know their potential and whether they had the possibility of cultivation.

Thus, with time, the Great Qin Empire witnessed the exaggerated phenomenon of people forming groups to apprentice.

Shushan, Great Snow Mountain, Wudang Mountain... these famous mountains and holy lands presided over by ancient forces gathered large numbers of people every day, lingering at the foot of the mountains.

Their purpose was naturally to apprentice and learn, hoping to become immortals who could ride the wind.

Imperial Capital.

Dean Lin sat in the office, frowning at the communicator in hand. The screen displayed images of the foothills of Wudang Mountain, Great Snow Mountain, and other major forces.

Everywhere was crowded with people, all from different places, gathering to apprentice in the Great Qin Empire.

Since these ancient forces emerged, Dean Lin paid special attention to them, fearing they might suddenly make a move against the Great Qin Empire.

However, after some time, he realized he was mistaken. These ancient forces, whether too arrogant to regard the Great Qin Empire or because of fear of the Willow God, showed some apprehension toward the Great Qin Empire.

In recent days, these ancient forces have ignored the official Great Qin Empire, all minding their own business.

Initially, he thought he could be at ease.

Little did he know, as these major forces began recruiting disciples, trouble also emerged...

In a chaotic world, Dean Lin naturally encouraged those ordinary people seeking cultivation.

After joining a sect, they no longer had to worry about their safety and could learn cultivation methods from Ancient Times, holding hope for transcending the mortal world and becoming immortals, and this improvement in Great Qin Empire people's strength also indirectly boosted the overall strength of the Great Qin Empire.

After all, after joining a sect, these Great Qin Empire people hadn't abandoned emotions and forgotten their identities; their family and friends still lived in the Great Qin Empire.

At this moment, the door to the office was knocked.

Knock, knock, knock~

"Come in!"

Dean Lin put down the communicator, sat up straight, and said calmly.

Creak!

Assistant Zhang pushed open the door and walked in, with a somewhat unpleasant expression, approaching Dean Lin.

"Dean!"

"Something happened again?"

Dean Lin's previously relaxed brows furrowed again as he spoke in a decidedly certain tone.

Judging by Assistant Zhang's expression, Dean Lin knew something bad had happened again, possibly something significant.

"Yes, Dean, we just received news that a train heading from the Imperial Capital to Meng Province was attacked by a Level Four Flying Demon King.

The train derailed, causing over two hundred passenger deaths and more than three hundred passengers were injured to varying degrees."

Assistant Zhang nodded and recounted in a low tone.

"The train derailed again?"

Dean Lin was somewhat surprised, though his surprise was directed at the derailment, not the number of casualties.

Having experienced the two rounds of devastation by the Black Demon Tiger and Qiongqi, Dean Lin's acceptance of casualties had significantly increased.

"That's right, this is the fifth train derailment this month."

Assistant Zhang nodded again, speaking somewhat helplessly.

After the Great Qin Empire's territory expanded a hundredfold, maintaining road connections between provinces became extremely difficult.

Of course, the official Great Qin Empire did not want to just watch the empire fall apart.

Therefore, the Great Qin Empire began to artificially open safe passages, connecting the capitals of each province to form a land network.

To accelerate exchanges, the Great Qin Empire built a railway and highway after clearing and eliminating the nearby beasts along the passage, with trains traveling daily, transporting passengers.

"In the past, these trains were never full, but these days, they're all packed to capacity!"

Dean Lin sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Traveling across provinces by train posed significant risks for ordinary people.

So, historically, the cross-province trains rarely saw ordinary people's presence; only some official personnel and adventurers on various missions traveled on them.

These people naturally wouldn't fill the trains.

But now things have changed. Since major forces started widely recruiting disciples, these ordinary people eager to apprentice have gone completely crazy, taking trains toward the gates of major forces.

The more people in the trains, the stronger the scent of flesh and blood they emitted, attracting many powerful beasts to attack the trains.

"According to the data, at least two-thirds of the people on this train were heading to the Great Snow Mountain in Meng Province to join the Little Leiyin Temple."

Assistant Zhang checked the tablet in his hand, then looked up and reported.

"Handle it as usual! By the way, Xiao Zhang, issue an announcement explaining the reasons for the repeated train attacks.

Also, the state doesn't oppose people joining sects, but they can choose to wait a bit before going; don't all rush to the train stations simultaneously."

Dean Lin advised, estimating that although he intended to safeguard the Great Qin Empire people's lives, many might not appreciate it, but the official stance had to be taken.

"Yes!"

...

Tiger King Ridge.

Jiang Che, lying in Bodhi Cave and comprehending the Power of Law, opened his eyes and habitually took out his communicator to check.

Seeing the mountain gates of those ancient forces on the network and the dense crowd of people at the foot of the mountains.

"It seems we're really entering an era of nationwide cultivation!"

Jiang Che sighed.

With the emergence of these ancient forces, the domestic forces in the Great Qin Empire were flourishing in full bloom.
