Of course not!
Was there anything more important than Iron-Blooded City? What was that?
Li Lie couldn't figure it out. Was it the sun exploding? Or was it a meteor crashing into Earth? Or was it a Star-level hurricane?
Isn't this too nonsensical?
All Li Lie knew was that once Iron-Blooded City was breached, less than a tenth of the people living peacefully within the walls would survive.
If one had not come to Iron-Blooded City, one would not have known how scary this world was! The changes brought about by the Purple Moon era were not small, and the people inside the wall could not feel it.
At that time, humans would have to face the apocalypse, right?
He really admired the people who survived the mutation. What kind of hardships had they endured to build up Iron-Blooded City bit by bit?
However, it was only during that era that the foundation of Iron-Blooded City was laid. After all, when the mutation first started, even though humans had gone through a catastrophe, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse.
If it were now, this great project would be impossible to complete.
In that case, the one who deserved more respect was definitely the mysterious visionary. Although there was no information about him, he was the first one to step forward and propose to build Iron-Blooded City.
However, even an idiot would know that there would always be a first in everything … So why didn't anyone mention it?
Li Lie was already distracted.
However, at this moment, a voice entered Li Lie's ears. "I suggest that Li Lie be the leader of the three youths."
What? Li Lie dug his ears, thinking that he had heard wrongly?! Why did he have to face a group of children by himself? On top of that, he was a genius who had just arrived at Iron-Blooded City from the other side of the wall!
Li Lie did not think that he had the patience, nor did he think that he should be doing such a job. What he had to face was the intense battle ahead.
Li Lie immediately wanted to stand up and object, but he didn't dare and couldn't.
The general who made the suggestion was Yuan Zhen. Yuan Zhen was his first teacher in Iron-Blooded City and also his old superior. Their relationship was like that of a teacher and a father. If Tang Ling objected to the general's suggestion, what would become of him?
However, such a proposal would usually be discussed, and the success rate was not high. Although Li Lie did not understand why his teacher had suggested him to be the head commander, he was not worried.
"Agreed." The Sun Marshal didn't even hesitate for half a second before agreeing.
"Seconded." "Seconded." The Moon and Star Marshals immediately seconded as well.
Li Lie was dumbfounded. What was this? Inexplicably, he made such an important decision in a second?
He stood up with a whoosh and opened his mouth to say something.
However, everyone in the huge meeting room ignored him. The Constellation Marshal had already solemnly brought up the next topic of discussion — the investigation of the traitor and spy.
Li Lie sat down. This was a serious and heavy topic, and he could not interrupt it because of his personal emotions.
Although they were lucky enough to win the battle, a lot of problems were exposed. For example, the usage of super-technological weapons was somehow hindered. Was it hindered? Strictly speaking, it was not. Every time a super-technological weapon was used, it would consume a large amount of energy. There was indeed a set of necessary procedures to use it.
On the surface, it really couldn't be considered an obstruction. It could only be said to be a normal procedure.
However, special situations usually had emergency records … For example, in this battle, if the super technological weapons had been added in time and cooperated with the Iron Will Group, the losses would not have been so great. That section of the city wall would not be in a precarious situation …
Things were a little complicated. Li Lie frowned.
As a matter of fact, the situation was not good at all! He was lucky enough to win the battle and he was fortunate enough to return in time, but when he thought about all the strange things that happened before the battle, the situation became even more complicated.
Even though Li Lie was a general and not a strategist, he only liked to fight and did not like to waste his brain to think, but he also sensed something unusual.

"Young Master Long, congratulations on entering the dream. You're powerful. Even though you missed the first chance, I didn't expect you to enter the dream again so soon. " The person who spoke was calm, but there was sincerity in the calmness. His attitude was neither servile nor overbearing, making it hard for others to suspect that he was flattering Tang Long. In short, the perfect compliment made one feel comfortable.
Tang Long, on the other hand, did not feel comfortable at all. He sat quietly and looked at the moon outside the window.
There was no standard for when one could enter the dream.
However, according to the highest standard, 17 years old was the earliest known age to enter the dream.
If Tang Long had not been delayed by something, he would have met the highest standard.
However, that was before Tang Ling's appearance.
According to the intel, Tang Ling was not even 16 years old yet, but he was a Dream Seed!
Why? If that was the case, what else was there to be proud of?
A self-mocking smile appeared on Tang Long's face. Are we not the sons of the same father? Or is Tang Ling's unknown mother nobler than my own?
It was impossible, at least not on the surface!
His mother's Genetic Chain was rare and outstanding. Even the Stardust Council was once shocked by it.
What about Tang Feng? Was there a need to mention how talented he was?
Why was he not as talented as Tang Ling in every aspect?
Tang Long's thoughts had sunk into an extreme dead end, and because of what happened on Higan, he could not find a way back to peace anymore.
A glass of wine was shoved into Tang Long's hand.
Tang Long looked up and saw Twelve's smile.
He had silver hair, a fair face, overly red lips, amber eyes that were occasionally transparent like a cat's eyes, but at other times, they were exceptionally deep. His nose was straight, but the lines of his cheeks were soft and even cute.
His face was filled with contradictions, but when put together, it was pleasing to the eye.
Some people said that Tang Long was handsome. There was also a handsome Seventh Young Master among the Stardust Sixteen. Even though he was not as handsome as Tang Long, many girls would still be attracted to him.
However, only a few people knew that Twelve was actually more handsome than Seventh Young Master even though his face was a little more feminine.
Perhaps because of that, Twelve did not like to show his face and always hid his face under a black hood.
This was Twelve, the one that Tang Long did not understand the most among the Stardust Sixteen even though he had a good relationship with them.
However, Twelve was a little too mysterious, introverted, and introverted.
"You need a glass of wine." Twelve's voice was gentle. His amber eyes were gentle, just like his smile.
"Higan …" Tang Long took a sip of the wine.
As a matter of fact, he had been awake for a while.
The Dream Domain lived up to its name. The first dream was a test that went straight to the heart.
It was a test. Tang Long did not know whether he passed the test or not. All he knew was that the first dream was a taboo topic for all Dream Seeds. He knew that he could not break free from the dream for a long time, so he was in a daze for a long time until Twelve suddenly appeared.
Was that important?
Tang Long did not think it was important. The first thing he wanted to ask was Higan.
Even though he knew what happened, he still wanted to ask about the follow-up. Would Twelve bring the latest news?
"Higan has left, but she will come back." Twelve sounded calm. It was also how he spoke. He did not explain much, but he could always say the most comfortable words.
"Mm-hmm." Tang Long did not know what else he could say.
"15 years old or 17 years old doesn't really make a difference. The Dream Domain is a secret and a taboo that no one knows about. Some Dream Seeds who enter the dream at the latest are better than those who enter the dream at the age of 17. It's the truth. "Twelve did not seem to want to talk about Higan, so he shifted the topic back to the Dream Domain.
Tang Long went quiet.
He understood what Twelve said. Whether he entered the dream first or later, it did not seem to be the standard of the Dream Domain to judge anything.
There was only one rule that the Dream Domain exposed to the real world.
The top geniuses were given two chances to enter the dream, and this time, it proved that Tang Long was a top genius.
However, he could not escape the vicious circle of comparing himself to Tang Ling.
"Young Master Long, you are the strongest. At least, I believe so." Twelve sat on the floor beside Tang Long. His amber eyes reflected the light, making him look mysterious and cold.
"I … I don't know." Tang Ling clenched the glass in his hand. The continuous tortures and blows seemed to have sucked away his high spirits.
"You must know … After all, we are still your followers." Twelve's voice turned soft with a sense of drifting. There was also a strange magic that calmed people down and made them sink into oblivion.
"If someone made you feel lost, it's your obstacle. Why don't you just destroy it without hesitation? "Twelve curled his lips into a smile that contained sincere encouragement.
"Mm-hmm." Tang Long somehow calmed down. That's right. All I have to do is destroy the demon in my heart. Twelve and Tang Ling have already signed a life and death contract, so why am I still being stubborn and comparing? Is the comparison just to comfort myself and make me give up on some stubborn thoughts?
After all, Tang Ling and Twelve were connected by a very intimate word — brothers.
Tang Ling is my little brother!
Should I kill him with my own hands? What kind of feeling would that be?
Tang Long drained the glass in a single gulp, but with Twelve sitting beside him, the faint magic did not go away. The magic prevented Tang Long from thinking too deeply or having too many emotions. There was only one goal in his mind, and that was to destroy Tang Ling.
**
Not every December was as gentle as the one in Darkness Port.
On the contrary, compared to the old civilization, the winter in the Purple Moon era was much crueler.
The cold, the strong wind, the endless snow, and the lack of food. For many people, only by surviving the winter would they be able to live longer.
An ox cart pulled by a dozen West Mountain Giant Yaks was slowly moving forward.
Facing the wind and snow, the cart was like a small boat drifting in the vast snowfield. How far away was Darkness Port?
