Tang Ling could not describe his feelings at that moment.
When he looked at the setting sun in front of him, the grassland was broken into pieces, when he felt the leisurely night breeze gradually weaken, and the faint singing in the distance stopped abruptly …
His mind was completely blank.
Large swathes of darkness appeared again. Tang Feng's figure had faded to the point that he could no longer see it, but his signature playful smile was exceptionally clear.
"Don't …" A sense of cold fear rose in Tang Ling's heart. He was not unfamiliar with the feeling. It was the night he lost his grandmother and sister. His heart was filled with rage, helplessness, and despair. He wanted to hold on to the tiniest bit of warmth in this era, but he could not hold on to anything. He could not face the weakness of the future.
He did not even know that he had shouted 'don't'. Tang Feng was still his father, was he not? He had only enjoyed a little bit of warmth from him, but his heart had been yearning for it all along.
Tang Ling hated the scene. He could not think, so he instinctively shouted, "Don't! Don't go!"
"Don't! Don't disappear like this! "
However, what was the point of shouting? In this world, if he shouted with his heart, he would be able to change some sadness, sadness, and unfairness. The shouts in this world would not stop, would it?
Therefore, Tang Feng's figure eventually disappeared.
The 'Singing of the Sunset' that filled one's heart with tranquility also completely shattered, leaving behind an empty darkness.
Tang Ling looked around helplessly and sadly before he sat down heavily.
Tang Feng appeared, but he did not answer any of his questions. Why did he abandon his mother? Why did he abandon him and Tang Long? What were the memories that he had lost? As a father, what did he want to do? His ideals? His …
But why did he have to express his feelings in such a despicable manner? It was as if one or two sentences could make up for what he and Tang Long had been missing for more than a decade.
Tang Ling clenched his fists tightly. He did not want to admit it. It was just one or two seemingly unintentional words, but it made his heart ache and soften at the same time.
"Dad …" Tang Ling's face was still angry, but he muttered weakly. As a matter of fact, compared to the word 'father', the word 'dad' sounded less respectful but more affectionate.
Only someone who had been loved for a long time would be able to call out 'Daddy' so casually and unscrupulously, right?
The moment the thought popped up in his mind, he felt like he was surrounded by boundless loneliness. It was a little sad, not because he longed for it, but because he would never admit it until he believed that he had never longed for it.
Ever since he was young, he had told himself that his mother was always warm.
He had never expected anything from his father. It was a stubbornness that was engraved in his bones. At this moment, he knew that he yearned for his father. He yearned for his company, his appreciation, his care, and even his worship, right?
Lowering his head, he suddenly wanted to hold Higan's hand and let her warmth chase away the sadness in his heart.
He had always been unwilling to delve deeper into something like whether Higan was San Shan or not. However, when Tang Feng mentioned An Han's name, Tang Ling was certain that San Shan was Higan. Higan's real name was mentioned.
Why was it like this? Didn't Tang Feng say the same thing? Don't let An Han down! He also believed it?! The girl beside him was Higan. He knew that, didn't he? Tang Ling's spirit was hidden in the little seed after all, so he should be able to see through some things.
Or did Tang Ling already see through it? Ever since he met Higan for the first time, Higan had shown a unique attachment to him. Wasn't that something that only San Shan would have?
Of course, it would not affect anything since it was something that Tang Ling had decided to do. However, if Higan was really San Shan, it would mean that the relationship between him and Higan was more than just love. They were destined to depend on each other and it might even go beyond love.
He did not want to be separated from her and he did not want it to be sad. Tang Ling's fear lingered in his heart. In this era, he had endured a lot of sadness.
Therefore, he really did not want a sad farewell. He did not want it anymore.
Tang Ling clenched his fists tightly. His emotions were extremely unstable, to the point that he almost lost control of the visualized world.
In the darkness, the double helix Genetic Chain Path that Tang Ling visualized started to shake non-stop. It kept flashing in the darkness, and amidst the extreme dizziness, it started to show signs of breaking.
Maybe it was because of the word "daddy" or Tang Ling's current weakness, fear, and sadness, Tang Feng's scattered spirit could not bear to disperse.
Tang Feng's voice came again in the darkness.
"The grassland under the setting sun just now …"
Tang Ling looked up abruptly. Tang Feng was nowhere to be seen, but his voice was clear in his ears.
"It's my hometown, which means it's also your hometown. That evening, when I left, the last time I saw my hometown was like this. I've never forgotten about it. You should go back and have a look when you're free. "
Tang Ling stood up and did not answer Tang Feng, but the geographical location that Tang Feng mentioned was deeply imprinted in his heart.
"Bring Tang Long along. He should go and have a look. You guys can do a lot of good things there, like marrying the girl you love and drinking with your lifelong friends for three days and three nights.
"Because it's my hometown. Son, remember to be fearless when you have someone in your heart. Including the path you have to walk in the future and the responsibilities you have to bear.
"I'll still protect you guys. Tell Tang Long the same thing. Whether he's like you or not, he'll never forgive me as his father.
"Remember, I'll protect …
"Remember to be fearless when you have someone in your heart …
Clatter! Tang Ling seemed to have heard the sound of something breaking, but it was the most beautiful sound that could soothe the sorrow in his heart.
Tang Ling could not help but look at the place where the shattering sound came from. He saw a string of beautiful, twinkling stars like fireworks from the old civilization.
At that moment, Tang Ling knew it was the last bit of energy left in Tang Feng's spirit. He lit up a firework for Tang Ling and clumsily formed a slightly crooked heart.
What was he trying to express?
There were no tears in the visualized world, but in reality, a single tear rolled down from the corner of Tang Ling's eye.
"Motherf * cker. How pretentious." Tang Ling turned around.
At that moment, Higan, who was hugging her knees and looking at a branch outside the house, suddenly turned around and looked at the little house where Tang Ling was.
"Brother, you look sad."
"Tang Ling, why are you sad? What did you see? "Higan kept wiping the tears that kept flowing down from the corner of her eyes.
She started to feel sad for no reason. She did not know why, but she was certain that Tang Ling was the one who was sad at that moment. She had always been close to him and their hearts were connected, so she felt the sadness.
However, amidst the sadness, it was also filled with a sense of peace and hope. How wonderful it was! Back home, marrying the girl he loved with Tang Long and drinking with his friends for three days and three nights …
Tang Ling's shattered visualized world started to stabilize. His naked eyes could see that it was becoming tenacious and unbreakable.
It was the result of his self-cultivation and also …
Fear nothing when you have someone in your heart!
Tang Ling muttered the words in his heart. He remembered when Tang Long parted with him and asked him to find the meaning of his life. Did he find it? It seemed like he had not found it completely.
However, at that moment, a new meaning had formed in his heart. Was this the final thing that his heart could rely on?
The helplessness and sadness on Tang Ling's face along with the hint of weakness in his eyes slowly disappeared. What replaced it was the tenacity that he was used to.
This was how Tang Ling would never give up, just like before.
At that moment, many people flashed across Tang Ling's eyes. The Fierce Dragon Squad, the dead Vian, Boss Huang, the two Tangyuan, the Ro siblings, Han Xing, Fatty, the four North, South, East, West, West, Samuel, and many more.
Then, Tang Long's figure disappeared into the starry sea.
In the end, he stopped at Higan.
"Fine, let's continue." Tang Ling felt extremely at ease.
His heart felt warm, and the warmth was so strong that it even warmed Higan, who had been crying in the yard. She slowly calmed down and her tears somehow stopped. She could not help but smile faintly. Her smile was so beautiful that it made the scenery around her even more beautiful.
"Brother, what did you overcome this time?"
"Mm-hmm, I'm here."
Higan was very relieved, and at that moment, Tang Ling's will was clearly transmitted to her.
"Wait for me."
Higan turned around in surprise. Tang Ling was telling her something. It was not an illusion! How did he do it? How did he become so strong that he could transmit his will with his spirit?
One thing worth noting was that only an Excellencer or a Purple Moon Warrior who was close to becoming a high-rank Purple Moon Warrior could do it.
Unbeknownst to her, Tang Ling's spirit had always been powerful, but the existence of the Perfect Genetic Chain was too eye-catching, hence the thought of becoming an Excellencer never crossed his mind.
The Vajra Will that Tang Feng taught her was a top-tier ultimate technique from the Dream Domain. After tempering one's willpower, one could definitely transmit one's simple will through one's spirit.
The doubt only lasted for a moment. Higan nodded to express that she understood. Tang Ling's breakthrough this time around would take a long time. Although she did not know the reason, he must have understood something.
In order to calm her down, Tang Ling purposely told her. All he had to do was wait.
It was at that moment that Higan suddenly sensed the hesitation in Tang Ling's eyes.
What else did he want to say?
Then, Higan heard two words.
"Shanshan."
The two words that came out of nowhere startled Higan, who had always been calm. She bolted up abruptly, her cotton dress fluttering in the wind.
Time seemed to have stopped at that moment.
Higan's shocked expression seemed to be blown away by the wind. Then, a beautiful smile appeared on her face.
"I understand, Brother. I'll wait for you."
Tang Ling was sitting in his room with his legs crossed. His calm and solemn face suddenly showed a smile before he returned to his usual calmness.
The real sprint had begun!
It was time for the core of the rules in the mysterious world that Tang Feng had mentioned!
**
It had only been a little over a month, and the snowy season that everyone, including the vicious beasts, struggled to endure was over.
Since everyone was used to the unpredictable weather in Iron-Blooded City, no one was surprised or happy about it.
Wasn't the snowy season in Iron-Blooded City just like that? It came and went as fast as it came.
In this harsh place, the changing of seasons would drive people crazy. Cold and hot alternated extremely fast and never stopped. Other than the end of April and the beginning of May every year, there would be 20 days of good weather during that time. The weather was as gentle as spring in the old civilization.
During that time, Iron-Blooded City, which had been embroiled in battles all year round, would celebrate if there was no urgent war.
The soldiers would grumble, "Look, this place might be torturous, but can you find any place inside the walls that has spring like the old civilization?"
"Inside the wall …" Zhan Yi leaned back in his chair and looked at the lingering snow outside the window as he muttered softly.
Now that he thought about it, even though the weather inside the wall was not that extreme, the extreme temperature difference between day and night and the exaggerated seasons made it impossible to find the spring described by the old civilization.
The adaptability of humans was astonishing. Even the evolved flora and fauna, no, all the living beings that survived.
However, humans were also nostalgic, or rather, nostalgic. Even though they had gotten used to the extreme climate of the Purple Moon era, the soldiers in Iron-Blooded City still described the spring season as a comfortable paradise.
Zhan Yi unbuttoned his collar and slightly opened his shirt. He then took a sip of water from the glass beside him.
His action was very ordinary, but it made Luca, who was sitting in a wheelchair, tilt her head and watch in fascination.
After all, Lu Wa's father was the only person in this world who could be called 'Emperor'. As a supreme figure, when one reached this level, one would subconsciously pursue every word, every action, every gesture, and every gesture to form one's own aura.
Most of the gestures were domineering and elegant. Even the people around him unnaturally formed a set of so-called etiquette that originated from the old civilization. Even though it did not form an aura, it still sought a certain elegance that distinguished him from the common people.
Zhan Yi's elegance was natural. His noble aura even had a hint of divine presence. It made people feel like he was not just a noble but a noble from the heavens.
However, he was clearly very ordinary, except for his extraordinary eyes, which made people feel intoxicated. It was a pair of eyes that only a very handsome person would have …
"What are you looking at?" Zhan Yi turned to Luca.
The morning exercise had started. Outside the window, the members of Starfire Division were arriving at the large training field. None of the instructors liked latecomers, no matter who they were or what their background was.
Zhan Yi could decide whether to go or not based on his mood. He had always been a loner, so he was getting more and more privileges. He was close to surpassing Liszt and becoming the new king of soldiers.
A lot of people thought Zhan Yi and Liszt would fight again sooner or later, but they did not understand why Zhan Yi had not made a move yet. Liszt was also holding back.
"I think you are tired today." Luca looked at Zhan Yi as if she was looking at an interesting object. She even seemed to like him.
This kind of liking was obviously different from the liking between a man and a woman. After all, Luca was still very young, and Zhan Yi almost ignored her. However, for some reason, this smart little girl always liked to pester Zhan Yi.
This was no longer a secret. All the soldiers in Starfire Camp knew about it. Some busybodies even revealed Luca's identity to Zhan Yi, intentionally or unintentionally.
However, Zhan Yi was indifferent. He was still a loner and refused to accept tasks with anyone. As for Luca, she would come to him from time to time, but whether he would pay attention to her depended on his mood.
Other than that, the only other person who could talk to Zhan Yi was Han Xing. He seemed to admire Han Xing.
That was all that everyone knew. At first, they were still interested in discussing and observing, but as time went by, no one paid much attention to it. So many amazing fellows had come to the Starfire Brigade, and a reshuffle had begun. Although it was far from a foregone conclusion, under such circumstances, everyone was filled with their own thoughts. Who would care about some gossip that would not affect the overall situation?
Therefore, no one knew that Zhan Yi had slowly become friends with Luca. After all, she was smart and not annoying. A little girl who did not put on airs because of her identity was not annoying.
Luca felt tired at that moment.
Zhan Yi did not want to answer this question. In fact, Luca was right. He was indeed a little tired. He did not sleep well last night and had been dreaming repeatedly.
In his dream, he saw a man.
The man was both familiar and strange to him. Since he was very young, he often looked at his portrait and fantasized about what kind of person he was.
The strange thing was that no matter how much he longed for the man, the man had never appeared in front of him.
As time went by, the longing turned into disappointment. The man who was supposed to be a hero in his fantasy became the man he hated.
What happened after that? After that, the man died. The resentment and confusion in his heart turned into hatred and was fixed there forever.
So, why did he dream of this man? He dreamed that he was standing in the middle of a vast grassland. The sky behind him was dyed with the light of the setting sun. It was dusk …
In the faint singing, the man looked at him from afar and smiled at him. His eyes were gentle and kind.
"I'm very sorry and regretful," the man said.
Zhan Yi's heart did not waver. Sorry for what? Regretful for what? What could he make up for?
"Son …" The man seemed to be calling him.
Zhan Yi felt that it was ridiculous. Who was he calling his son?
However, the dream did not let him go. It forced him to stand in the grassland at dusk and look at the man from afar.
Zhan Yi wanted to turn his head, but he saw a figure standing behind the man.
When he saw the figure clearly, Zhan Yi's heart suddenly ached so much that he could not breathe. The figure was his brother …
He had always hated his younger brother, but in the end, he had saved his life. And this time, they finally had a warm memory between them.
This made Zhan Yi believe that bloodlines were so magical. A short warm memory could suddenly settle in his soul. He could not help but feel that he was no longer alone in this world because there was someone who shared half of his bloodline with him …
He had saved his life, so he cared about him and liked him, right?
So Zhan Yi could not stop the pain because the man was already dead. His brother was standing behind him. Was it a hint to him, telling him not to have any hope … His brother was dead!
'Be fearless when you have something in your heart.'
The dream started inexplicably and ended inexplicably. Without warning, everything was shattered. The man turned into a shadow and disappeared, leaving behind such an inexplicable sentence.
His brother stood in the darkness and seemed to be smiling at him.
Did his brother want to say something?
Zhan Yi tried hard to ask, but the uncontrollable dream suddenly ended.
Swoosh! Zhan Yi pulled his own clothes once again, not noticing that his eyes had already turned red.
"You haven't answered me yet. What's wrong? You look like you want to cry. "Luva was very curious.
However, Zhan Yi stood up expressionlessly and buttoned up the buttons he had just unbuttoned. He expressionlessly put the packed equipment bag under the bed on his back.
"Zhan Yi, are you going for morning training today?" Luva turned her wheelchair, trying to get closer to Zhan Yi. She really wanted to know what kind of secrets this mysterious young man was hiding under his sudden change of emotions.
It was at that moment that Li Lie's voice came from the training ground. "Everyone, gather! Attention! Everyone, gather!"
"Look, don't we have to go?" Zhan Yi reached out to stop Luva from getting closer. He pulled the door open and pushed Luva out without a second thought.
Li Lie emphasized on gathering, which meant that the soldiers with special authority had to be present at the training ground as well.
"What kind of mission is this?" Luva pouted unhappily.
Zhan Yi closed the door behind him and walked to the training ground without looking back.
**
All the soldiers of Starfire Brigade gathered together. Not a single one was missing.
Li Lie looked at the young men who had gone through a cruel baptism and sighed in his heart.
It was time. Previously, everyone knew that something big would happen in a year's time, but now that they had intercepted a few pieces of information, things had become complicated.
Therefore, it was time to announce everything.
This might be the first time since humans entered the Purple Moon era … Again and again …
With that in mind, Li Lie could not help but sigh in his heart.
After going through a storm of blood and seeing countless powerful enemies and cruel scenes, Li Lie's heart was as tough as iron.
However, for some reason, when he thought about the news that was about to be announced, he started to feel a strange and unfamiliar nervousness.
"Maybe this is the start of a post- Purple Moon era." That was the reason why Li Lie was nervous.
But even so, Li Lie didn't show any emotion on his face. He just raised his hand silently, and a large projector behind him emitted a beam of light. A huge image was about to appear in front of the soldiers of the Starfire Brigade.
