Don't rush me in the comments! I'm currently identifying a primordial saint.

Chapter 20 Scholars and Gods! The Mage!

The viewers in the live stream were indignant, and Su Fan naturally saw the comments, but he just smiled slightly.

The nations of this parallel world have never awakened the deities of scholars; they are unaware that under certain special circumstances, these deities of scholars are even more powerful than those of military generals!

If we consider the warriors and deities as soldiers, then the individual combat capabilities of the divine beings can be enhanced!

So, the scholar-deities are like mages, suitable for group attacks on the battlefield, but their individual combat ability is slightly weaker than that of the warrior-deities!

Literary figures and deities can perform magic by writing words and composing poems out of thin air; they can speak eloquently and their words become law!

Like mages, they silently lie in wait behind the battlefield, accumulating power to unleash their ultimate attacks!

Once the ultimate skill is fully formed, its power is far greater than the ultimate skills of some generals and gods!

"Poetry is the most powerful ability of a young god! During the Tang Dynasty, poetry was extremely popular, and many of the most gifted individuals created poems that have been passed down through the ages. It's just a pity..."

"The historical myths of China have been lost, and they have not been preserved."

Su Fan felt quite sorry, but it didn't matter. He could let those poems continue to be passed down in this parallel world of China!

This must be the significance of his coming to this parallel world of China!

"And in this prosperous Tang Dynasty, with its extremely rich poetic atmosphere, the poems of the young prodigy are the most stunning!"

"Someone wrote: A young man's words, spoken with such eloquence, could capture half of the Tang Dynasty's golden age!"

"Some even wrote poems praising the young man: 'His brushstrokes startle wind and rain, his poems move even ghosts and gods to tears!'"

After a moment of anger, the viewers in the live stream calmed down.

They also realized that this S-level Chinese deity was not something that could be obtained so easily.

It's their own fault for having too high expectations!

Now that their expectations have been lowered, they find Su Fan's retelling of Li Bai's story quite enjoyable!

"This young genius is incredibly skilled in poetry!!!"

"Their words, 'A single utterance, and half of the Tang Dynasty's glory is revealed,'" this is far too high a compliment!

"Alas! It's such a pity, poetry is utterly useless!!! It has absolutely no fighting power!"

"Hey upstairs, stop sighing."

"Yes, yes, it's also very good to learn about the talented young people of ancient China!"

"Tsk tsk tsk! China wants to produce another S-class god? Dream on! I wonder what kind of luck the streamer had to awaken an SSS-class god! But it's okay, he won't see the sun tomorrow!"

"Damn it!!! Those banana people are back again, asking for it!!"

"You're welcome to send people here; let's see if you can even leave China!!!"

"Is the streamer safe?"

"Probably not, the government should have already sent people to protect the streamer."

"That's good! This is a treasure of China! It absolutely cannot be harmed!"

The viewers in the live stream began to worry about Su Fan's safety.

Su Fan silently called out in his heart, "Li Bai, the Qinglian Hermit!"

The system's voice immediately rang in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully identifying the Chinese deity, Qinglian Jushi Li Taibai. Reward: Li Taibai's personalized training plan (partial)]

Su Fan immediately checked Li Taibai's personalized training plan, then turned to Shen Jianyi beside him and said:

"Patriarch Shen, is the Summoning Stone ready?"

Shen Jianyi did not answer, hesitating somewhat, after all, judging from what Su Fan said, this young god did not seem to be very strong.

The Shen family doesn't have many Summoning Stones left, and they don't want to waste them like this!

Su Fan noticed Shen Jianyi's hesitation, so he lowered his voice and said to Shen Jianyi:

"Patriarch Shen, if you trust me, then go and make the preparations!"

Shen Jianyi's initial hesitation vanished, replaced by a firm resolve, and he nodded emphatically.

"Okay! I'll go prepare now!"

Su Fan stopped Shen Jianyi, who was in a hurry to leave.

"Master Shen, please don't rush. We'll need you to prepare Xuan paper, ink, calligraphy brushes, a table, chairs, and a jar of aged wine!"

Shen Jianyi kept Su Fan's instructions firmly in mind before leaving in a hurry.

"Hey!!! What is Patriarch Shen doing? Is he really going to prepare the Summoning Stone?"

"Master Shen is so foolish!!!"

"Yeah, this young god statue looks pretty powerful, but now that the streamer says so, it's just a pretty face with no substance!!!"

"The streamer is really something, why did he let Patriarch Shen prepare the Summoning Stone? Isn't that just making him waste a Summoning Stone for nothing?"

"Yes, these Summoning Stones are incredibly precious. You have to risk your life to get one from the ruins of a god, and they're just going to waste them like this... Sigh!"

"The streamer is not human!!!"

"Is the streamer truly patriotic? I now strongly suspect that the streamer is a foreign spy trying to deplete China's Summoning Stones!!!"

"If that's true, then I curse him to have sons without an anus! No... I wish he'd never even find a wife!"

The live stream chat was filled with curses directed at Su Fan, but Su Fan didn't seem to care!

Shen Shuang was also somewhat shaken, but when she remembered that Su Fan had helped her form a contract with the Moon Fairy Chang'e, she had also questioned him in the same way, and suddenly she believed him.

Before long, Shen Jianyi arrived carrying a table, a chair in his left hand, and something else in his right.

Shen Jianyi arranged the table and chairs, then handed the rest of the items to Su Fan.

"Brother Su Fan, here you go!"

Su Fan took it and poured half of the old wine into the wine gourd of the Li Bai statue.

Then put the remaining half on the table!

Su Fan spread out the Xuan paper, dipped his brush in ink, and wrote while reciting:

"Li Bai could write a hundred poems after drinking a bucket of wine!"

"Sleep in a tavern in Chang'an!"

"The emperor summons me, but I refuse to board the boat!"

"He proclaims himself the Immortal of Wine!!!"

Su Fan was covered in sweat after finishing writing; each stroke had consumed a great deal of his energy.

Su Fan wiped the sweat from his forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the elegant and unrestrained characters on the Xuan paper!

Fortunately, he had learned calligraphy in his previous life, otherwise he would have been extremely embarrassed in front of so many people in the live broadcast room.

After finishing writing, Su Fan turned to Shen Shuang and Shen Jianyi and said calmly, "Which of you two will awaken this deity?"

Shen Jianyi barely recovered from the shock of the poetry and volunteered to help.

"Then I... will do it."

But Su Fan shook his head. Su Fan knew that Shen Jianyi was worried that the god's level was too low and didn't want Shen Shuang to waste a contract position.

"Patriarch Shen, my suggestion is to have Shen Shuang come; this deity is quite suitable for her!"

Shen Jianyi looked at his daughter with some hesitation, but Shen Shuang nodded firmly.

"Alright, let Shen Shuang do it!"

Shen Jianyi took the phone and started the live stream, and Shen Shuang appeared on camera.

"Holy crap! President Shen is still as beautiful as ever!!!"

"She's undeniably beautiful, but she's also incredibly aloof!"

"What do you know, upstairs? That's called a mature, sophisticated woman! I like it, hehe!"

……

Su Fan smiled at Shen Shuang: "Just like yesterday, first silently recite the glorious deeds of the gods, and then recite them with me."

"Oh, right, watch my hand gesture. The moment I move, you pour the remaining half-jar of wine onto this Xuan paper."

Shen Shuang nodded solemnly.

Su Fan then respectfully looked at the statue of Li Bai and spoke loudly:

"A heart of steel and a soul of music, a wanderer of poetry and wine!"

"The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal, the Drunken Poet Immortal!"

Shen Shuang followed Su Fan and read out the words one by one.

"Wine! Sword!"

Su Fan made a gesture to Shen Shuang, and Shen Shuang immediately poured the remaining half jar of wine onto the Xuan paper.

"This junior, Shen Shuang, respectfully welcomes the Hermit of Qinglian—"

"Li Bai!!!"
