The cheerful atmosphere instantly turned gloomy. The incident with the Dimensional Creatures had dealt a huge blow to this region, and everyone was in a gloomy mood.
Jiang Chen slowly stood up from his seat and said, "Therefore, at this moment, we need a leader. There are a total of 28 cities in the Red city region, and they are all independent from each other. Since the beginning, they have been scattered all over the place. Now that there are so many things waiting to be done, we need someone to stand out and be the leader. This will be a great help to the revival of this region. More importantly, these 28 cities can unite together and form a new power."
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, the eyes of the people from the Jiang family and Yan Zhanyun lit up. The powers in this region had always been scattered, and they had never been united before. The reason was because no one had the power to rule this region. If all twenty-eight cities belonged to a single power, they would be able to give the most unified orders immediately after the incident with the Dimensional Creatures, and the casualties would be much lower. Furthermore, they would be able to unite their forces.
If it was in the past, it would be very difficult to change the situation in this region. No one could stand out and be the leader, and even if someone did, there would be a lot of people who wouldn't accept it. However, things were different now. All the cities had suffered heavy losses, and the people's morale was at an all-time low. They needed a leader to stand out.
If someone really wanted to stand out, the Jiang family would be the best choice. Only the Jiang family would be able to convince everyone. The reason was simple. First, the Jiang family had the power to do so. Second, Jiang Chen had saved everyone's lives, and they were deeply grateful to him.
"Chen 'er is right. With the current situation of all twenty-eight cities, if we can have a leader to stand out and be the leader, it will be beneficial to the revival of this region, and also help the people get rid of the dark clouds. Furthermore, the Jiang family will be the leader."
Yan Zhanyun said. In fact, with the relationship between Jiang Chen and Yan Chen Yu, the Jiang family and the Yan family were destined to be one big family. Therefore, Yan Zhanyun was the first one to agree to the Jiang family becoming the leader.
"I will announce the news to all twenty-eight cities in my own name. From now on, the Jiang family will only obey the orders of the people in this region."
Jiang Chen was shocked. The Jiang Clan becoming the leader was exactly what he wanted. Only the Jiang Clan was qualified to do so.
Everyone nodded without any objections. Now, all the people who survived in the major cities were deeply grateful to Jiang Chen. At this time, it was most suitable to rule this area in the name of Jiang Chen.
"Father, looks like you'll be busy in the future."
Jiang Chen looked at Jiang Zhen Hai.
"It's better to be busy than idle."
Jiang Zhen Hai smiled. He understood the purpose of Jiang Chen's decision. His son was a dragon in the nine heavens, and sooner or later, he would soar through the nine heavens. However, this region would always be Jiang Chen's home. As long as his home was peaceful, Jiang Chen would not have any worries. Therefore, Jiang Chen was trying his best to make the Jiang family stronger.
On the same day, Jiang Chen issued his own order. In the following two days, all the leaders of the major cities came to the Fragrant Sky City's Jiang family to pay their respects to Jiang Chen. None of them had any objections to the decision to let the Jiang family be the leader. None of them were idiots. They naturally knew what was needed at this time. Plus, they were very grateful to Jiang Chen for saving their lives. Not only would they listen to the Jiang family's orders, they would even follow the Jiang family's orders.
Everyone could see that the Jiang family was going to produce a peerless figure. The future of this Jiang Chen was immeasurable. To be able to hold onto the Jiang family was something they had always dreamed of.
After the twenty-eight cities were ruled, the people finally found their backbone. Under the leadership of the Jiang family and the Yan family, all the major cities were rebuilt. The haze that was left in people's hearts by the disaster also began to dissipate.
In the next few days, Jiang Chen was not in a hurry to return to the Martial Palace. Instead, he stayed with Jiang Zhen Hai. Jiang Chen cherished the time he had with Jiang Zhen Hai, because he knew that he didn't have much time left.
At night, the moon was hanging high in the sky. On the top of the Jiang family's tallest building, two figures were standing side by side.
"Everything feels like a dream."
Jiang Zhen Hai looked at the bright moon in the sky with a smile on his face. It was a very satisfied smile.
"Dad, this is not a dream."
Jiang Chen smiled as well. He knew what Jiang Zhen Hai was trying to say. For more than ten years, he had been playing the role of the number one playboy in Fragrant Sky city, the number one trash. Jiang Zhen Hai's only hope for his son was that he could grow up healthily. He didn't expect his son to become a genius.
However, as a parent, they all had the same dream. Who didn't want their children to be more outstanding? Who didn't want their children to be proud? Jiang Zhen Hai was the same, even though he knew that it was just a dream.
But now, this unrealistic dream had come true. Jiang Zhen Hai felt like he was dreaming.
"My son, Jiang Zhen Hai, must be extraordinary."
Jiang Zhen Hai said proudly.
"Of course."
Jiang Chen didn't forget to take the opportunity to be narcissistic.
"Chen 'er, when do you plan to leave this time?"
Jiang Zhen Hai asked with a serious expression. During the few days he spent with Jiang Chen, Jiang Zhen Hai hadn't asked Jiang Chen anything about the Eastern Continent, because he knew that with Jiang Chen's abilities, he would be able to handle everything by himself, and there was no need for him to worry about anything.
Jiang Chen didn't mention anything about the Eastern Continent either. He just wanted his father to live a peaceful life, and he didn't want to give him any pressure.
"Tomorrow."
Jiang Chen said indifferently. He knew that it was cruel for Jiang Zhen Hai to say these two words, but he had no choice but to leave. There were still many things waiting for him to take care of in the Eastern Continent. Furthermore, he couldn't stay here for too long. He didn't want the Jiang family to be involved in the battle between him, the Shangguan Clan, and the Myriad Sword Sect. The Jiang family was too weak compared to those giants.
"You're leaving tomorrow?"
Although Jiang Zhen Hai was mentally prepared, he still felt sad when he heard that Jiang Chen was leaving. The time they spent together was always so short. Sometimes, Jiang Zhen Hai really wished that his son wouldn't be able to accomplish anything, and that he would still be the playboy who only knew how to cause trouble for him. At least the father and son could still be together.
However, Jiang Zhen Hai understood that someone like Jiang Chen couldn't be trapped here. He belonged to the outside world, and this place was too small.
"Dad, everything here is almost settled. Now that the Jiang family has become the leader, all the cities are being rebuilt in an orderly manner. It's time for me to leave. But don't worry dad, I'll come back to see you once I'm done with everything."
Jiang Chen said with a smile on his face.
"Alright, just do what you need to do. Don't worry about the family."
Jiang Zhen Hai patted on Jiang Chen's shoulder.
"Oh right, dad, I have some things for you, they'll be of great help to you."
After saying that, Jiang Chen handed a storage ring to Jiang Zhen Hai and said, "There are some herbs and combat weapons in here, they can help increase the overall strength of the Jiang family. As for how to use them, dad, I'll leave it to you. With the help of the Xuanyuan skill and these herbs, I believe it won't take long for dad to break through to the Divine Core realm."
Jiang Zhen Hai let out a sigh. The Divine Core realm was too far away from him, he had never even dreamed about it. He took the storage ring and scanned it with his divine sense. He found a lot of different herbs, but he couldn't name any of them. Besides that, there was also a huge amount of Human Elixir, and even some Earth Elixir. There were also a few combat weapons that shone brightly. With Jiang Zhen Hai's experience, he had never seen such powerful combat weapons before.
"This …"
Jiang Zhen Hai's eyes widened. He felt that it was difficult for him to breathe. He couldn't be blamed for this, the Red city area was just too barren, it couldn't be compared with the Eastern Continent. Here, 100% of Human Elixir was rare, let alone the rare herbs and Earth Elixir.
The wealth that Jiang Chen had left for Jiang Zhen Hai was priceless. With these things, it would be hard for the Jiang family to not become a powerful force.
"Dad, take good care of these things. Try your best to increase the overall strength of both you and the Jiang family. The stronger you and the Jiang family are, the more I'll feel at ease."
Jiang Chen said with a serious expression. He had no other choice, his enemies were too strong, he could only try his best to solve the problem.
"Chen 'er, be careful when you're out there. Remember, no matter when, this will always be your home."
Jiang Zhen Hai said in a serious tone. Words like this coming from a father's mouth were always so warm. This was the feeling that Jiang Chen enjoyed the most after his rebirth.
The next day, in front of the Jiang family's courtyard, a group of people stood facing each other. On one side stood Jiang Chen and the others, and on the other side stood the people from the Jiang family and the Yan family.
"Dad, father-in-law, we're leaving now."
Jiang Chen bowed to Jiang Zhen Hai and Yan Zhanyun once again. Yan Chen Yu, who was standing beside him, did the same.
"Be careful, don't worry about us."
Jiang Zhen Hai said.
"Dad, Yu 'er won't be by your side, you have to take care of yourself."
Yan Chen Yu looked at Yan Zhanyun with tears in her eyes. She was a very emotional girl.
"Don't worry, dad's body is still strong."
Yan Zhanyun patted his own chest, then looked at Jiang Chen and said, "Chen 'er, I'll leave Yu' er in your hands. Take good care of her."
"Don't worry, father-in-law."
After saying that, Jiang Chen grabbed Yan Chen Yu's hand and flew up into the sky. Han Yan, Da Huang Dog and the others also flew up into the sky. In the blink of an eye, they turned into a few black dots and disappeared in the sky.
Jiang Chen didn't like the feeling of parting. Therefore, he chose to leave without looking back. Although he didn't turn his head back, he could still feel the eager gazes from behind him. Even after they disappeared, his eyes were still fixed on the void for a long time.
