Chapter 110 I Will Never Leave You Again
The light of Hope Island shook the earth and the sky. The machine that calculated the self-destruction program emitted a bright light. After a touch of golden light was completely integrated into the sacred tree, the entire island was slowly shrouded in golden light.
"boom!"
A huge explosion resounded between heaven and earth.
Looking from the entire sea level, one could only see a golden cloud exploding on the sea level, as if swallowing everything in it.
Hope Island is the planet's top secret talent training place all year round. Following the loud noise, it seemed to turn into smoke in the sky and slowly dissipated. The entire sea level was dark and silent for a moment.
Just when everything around seemed to be getting dark.
suddenly.
There were star-like lights that lit up. At first it was just a little light, and then it turned into countless small lights. Each light enveloped a student. Slowly, someone woke up from the small ball of light.
Hope Island had been bombed to the ground.
As the sea breeze blew past, the past of the school seemed like a dream.
"I'm alive?"
"We're not dead?"
"Is the island really gone?"
“It seems to have really blown up!”
The ball of light carried all the students and slowly gathered together. The students were all sent to the Hope Boat on the sea not far away. When some students sat on the boat, they looked back at the golden halo and gently touched it with their hands. The halo slowly dissipated in the sea breeze. It could not be grasped or touched, but no one would doubt what it was.
It is a sacred tree.
It is the belief of the people of the planet, and it protects everyone even when they are about to leave.
Someone said, "The boat has started."
The Hope Boat was launched. After confirming that Hope Island was destroyed, the Hope Boat would be launched as the initial rescue ship. The drizzle fell and landed on everyone.
The students looked at the island behind them, which was dark.
I don't know who took the lead, or if someone was the first to bow their heads, put their hands together, and made gestures of prayer and gratitude. The rain fell on everyone. They all knew that without the sacred tree, without the sacrifices of some people, Hope Island would not be destroyed and no one would be saved.
At the same time.
Almost all the players received a message from the system panel: "The Hope Ship has reached the fixed sea area. All surviving players are now being teleported out of the dungeon. Please confirm the status. 10 surviving players have been detected on the ship. The total number of players in the dungeon is 20, and half of them are alive. The dungeon rewards are being counted. Congratulations to all players who have completed the hidden tasks and received SS+ level gold items..."
The system is settling.
When the settlement is completed.
The system panel refreshed: "All main plots of Hope Island, including hidden plots, have been unlocked. Thanks to all the taskers for their efforts to save all the residents of this nightmare world. After settlement, the copy of Hope Island will be officially closed to all taskers in 24 years. The nightmare world thanks every tasker for their efforts. The historical copy records can be viewed in the lobby later."
The audience in the live broadcast room was also very excited:
"Closed?"
"You're saying that the Hope Island that previously had a zero clearance rate has been permanently closed!?"
“That’s awesome!”
“Which anchor is it?”
When everyone wanted to enter the live broadcast room again, with the settlement of the system, all the live broadcast rooms ended, and ten players were teleported out of the halls one after another. Some players were stunned, some were grateful for surviving the disaster, and some even cried and hoped that the Island would become history in the nightmare world from then on.
But at the same time, a wave arose in the Nightmare World. The entire hall was looking for the players who got the golden items, especially the three taskers in the Moon Realm, but there were only two of them among the taskers who logged back to the hall.
The whole network is looking for where the remaining one is.
While the nightmare world was bustling with activity, the island of hope was not peaceful.
Hope Island was destroyed. Hundreds of students on the island were all children carefully nurtured by major families, and some were the only sons. You should know that not all families can send their children to study on Hope Island. Most of the families are well-established large families on Hope Island. What was blown up was not the island at all, but the lifeblood of these people!
The Hope Island area was bombed and no news was heard from the children overnight.
The sacred tree was destroyed and the island's managers disappeared.
For a time, the viciousness of Hope Island shocked the world. The Hope Boat did not appear in the public eye until a day and a night later. The children inside were all covered in dust, especially the younger ones who were crying inconsolably.
Many children were sent to Hope Island for better education, and they were not allowed to see their families for many years. After the accident, the entire sea was filled with large and small boats, all of which were the parents of the students looking for them. When they met, they couldn't stop crying:
"My child!"
"How did you get hurt like this?"
"It's good to be alive, it's good to be back!"
In previous years, Hope Island was highly closed to the outside world, so even if someone wanted to explore it, they had no way to patrol it. But now that the island has been destroyed, of course a large number of machines and manpower have landed on the island in the name of search and rescue.
The maple forests on the northern islands had long been burned, and bones were buried everywhere under the forests.
Although the hospital in the south had been destroyed, some medicines that were harmful to the body and exceeded the standard were still found.
The Hope Island scandal was once unveiled, shocking the world.
There were voices of resistance all over the world, demanding an explanation from the king, demanding an explanation from the king to all the children and parents. For a time, a wave of opposition swept across the entire planet.
The king sent troops to suppress the rebellion, and the global situation became turbulent.
In the woods north of the Leng family, under a plum tree, scattered petals were blown by the wind and fell on a young man in a blue uniform. His body was covered with wounds of varying sizes, and there were also some tiny scars on his handsome and fair face. The man who had been sleeping had a calm expression on his face.
There was a faint whisper of discussion not far away:
"You haven't woken up yet?"
"No."
"I heard that he has been in a coma for more than half a month."
"No one can get close to him who falls from the sky. If you get close to him, you will be pierced by the aperture."
The sound of chattering finally woke up the sleeping people.
Jian Yue only felt a little itchy on his face. When he slowly opened his eyes, a plum petal happened to fall in front of his eyes, slowly pulling his consciousness back.
Remember.
The last memory before he passed out was the bright light of the explosion and a kiss on his forehead.
The person lying on the ground sat up suddenly, as if subconsciously trying to grab something, but his eyes focused on a long forest of plum blossoms. Jian Yue looked at everything in front of him in a daze.
Until a girl ran over and said, "Ma'am, are you awake?"
Jian Yue's voice was hoarse and a little shaky, but he still said, "Hello, please don't shout. I don't know you. People should keep a distance from each other."
The girl was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm not shouting nonsense. Aren't you wearing a soul ring on your hand that can control the power of the Leng family? And the crystal stone on your neck is also something that only a young lady can have."
Jian Yue: "...Okay, go ahead and shout."
The servants were stunned for a moment and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Jian Yue only felt a tearing pain in his throat. He said, "Is there any water? I want to drink some."
The servants hurriedly fetched water. Jian Yue wanted to take it, but his hands were shaking and he couldn't catch it at all. The servants didn't dare to touch him because every time they touched him, the energy that protected his body would backfire and bounce them away.
Jian Yue said: "Can you give me a straw?"
The servants suddenly realized what was going on, and quickly brought it over, and exclaimed that the young lady was so smart!
After struggling for a long time, Jian Yue finally got to drink the water.
After drinking some water, his mind finally became much clearer. After spending some time, he finally knew where he was. He was in the Leng family's clan territory. The crystal core saved him in the end and teleported him back to his ancestral land.
Jian Yue slowly said, "Where's Leng Li?"
The servants looked at each other and said softly, "The young master has not returned."
In fact, Jian Yue already knew the answer the moment he woke up, but he was still unwilling to face it. Even after hearing the result, he just continued to sit by the tree in the peach forest for a long time. The servants of the Leng family stood by and did not dare to leave.
As the sun slowly set, the sound of warships flying across the sky continued to highlight the recent unrest.
Jian Yue finally spoke up: "Who is the head of the Leng family now?"
The servants looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally someone spoke up, "Our patriarch is the young master. The Leng family has been headed by the young master for a long time. The soul ring of the Leng family is the symbol of the patriarch's power. Although the young master is gone now, the sub-families under our family also want to divide up the power of the Leng family, but it is useless for them without the soul ring. The Leng family has only recognized the soul ring for generations, and the one who owns the soul ring is the master of the Leng family."
Jian Yue looked at the ring on his hand and said, "So I am the master of the Leng family now?"
The attendants nodded, and they continued, "If you are afraid and don't want to stay here, you can give the ring to a sub-family that you like. You have the crystal necklace, which means you are recognized by your mother clan. All the Leng family members need to protect your safety."
Jian Yue smiled lightly. His smile was very shallow and faint: "What do I have to be afraid of?"
What is he afraid of?
The thing he feared the most had already happened, and the person he cared about the most was gone. Why was he still afraid? Only those who dared to provoke him should be afraid now.
Jian Yue spoke lightly, his voice was a little hoarse, but very clear: "Is there a war outside?"
The attendant said quickly, "Yes, Hope Island was blown up. The dirty things they did can no longer be concealed. Now many forces in various places are denouncing the king. However, the king's equipment is very powerful, all developed by Hope Island. We ordinary people can't resist it at all, so they are all violently suppressing it, including many places in the Leng family."
Jian Yue thought for a moment and said, "How far is this place from the Leng family's main residence?"
The attendants replied respectfully, "It's less than five minutes away. Do you want to go back and wash up?"
"Yes." Jian Yue stood up and said, "Send me back."
In fact, he seldom came to the Leng family. In fact, he had only been here once. That time was in the peach blossom forest when Leng Li celebrated his birthday for him. They spent a very intimate night at the Leng family. At that time, he still felt that the days were very long, but he did not expect that it was actually a very happy time. Time has passed, and now he comes alone.
When Jian Yue returned to Leng Li's bedroom.
He washed up first, then casually put on a pair of pajamas and came out of the house. He saw the laboratory in front of him. The door of the laboratory was closed, but there were footprints outside the door. After the incident at the Leng family, it’s not that no one has come here, but they couldn’t get in. The protection system here is the highest level of Hope Island. How could an ordinary person get in?
Jian Yue paused, slowly stood in front of the door, pressed his chip fingerprint, and saw the light of the door light up, and a mechanical voice sounded: "Verification successful, passed."
The door opens.
He saw various sealed latest weapon models on the operating table.
Jian Yue directly opened the information terminal and checked the weapon model that the king was currently using. Sure enough, it was several versions lower than the one in the laboratory. He smiled lightly.
Should I say that he is worthy of being called Leng Li?
Maybe since a long, long time ago, since he recorded his fingerprint and opened the permissions for himself, since he brought himself back to the Leng family, since he gave himself the necklace, since he put the ring on himself, he has been setting up a trap, a trap to give himself a way out.
If Jian Yue wanted to leave, the Leng family would protect him. If he wanted to stay, he had taken down all the weapons in the laboratory. He had absolute control. Leng Li had thought of all the escape routes that Jian Yue would need, except his own.
"That's really too much." Jian Yue looked at the panel and spoke softly.
In the half month since Hope Island was destroyed, civil wars broke out on the planet, causing great suffering to all the people.
Half a month later, the four major families, the Murong family and the Leng family, issued a call to action, gathering many of the victims' families and organizational forces to launch an expedition against the king and the royal family.
The Leng family provided weapons and technology, and the warlike and powerful Murong family was responsible for the military attack. The civil war lasted only two months and ended with the destruction of the royal family and the request for mercy.
The planet was reborn, freedom returned to the earth, and Hope Island became a thing of the past.
The selection of the new king has become a hot topic.
Murong Cheng found Jian Yue and took the initiative to say: "I only want to fight in wars and be a general. I have no interest in being a king. You are the head of the Leng family now. No matter the power of the Leng family or your prestige, you can be the king if you want."
Jian Yue said: "The reason why I denounce the king is because he doesn't love his people or his son. As long as he is around, the battle on the planet will not end. But I have no interest in being a king. You know me. I just want to be a person who lives a carefree life and enjoys life with a big thigh to cling to."
Murong Cheng choked up and said, "But Leng Li..."
Leng Li is no longer here.
Jian Yue said: "Why else do you think I took over the Leng family? Because apart from the Leng family, I can't find anything else in this world that can be related to him. When he is not here, I will take care of the Leng family for him. When he comes back, I can continue to play."
Murong Cheng thought he was a little crazy, but he didn't dare to say it. He asked, "Will Leng Li really come back?"
Jian Yue said: "He promised me."
Murong Cheng thought it was fun to go crazy with others. He said, "I think Leng Li is the most suitable person to be the king. Since you said he would come back, let him keep the position of king. The rest of us can just help supervise the country."
Jian Yue didn't care. He said, "It's up to you guys."
The situation on the planet stabilized, and the students who had escaped death from Hope Island gradually lived a normal life. The Leng family's regent status was almost unanimous, and the reason was simple. All the children who had returned alive from Hope Island told their families that if it were not for the Leng family, Leng Li and his housekeeper, the Hope Ship would never have appeared.
Almost all families, big and small, on the planet have been grateful to the Leng family. Especially after knowing that Leng Li might be the incarnation of the sacred tree, they are even more grateful for the sacred tree's blessing on all children.
Almost everyone agrees that the Leng family is the regent.
Jian Yue is the current patriarch of the Leng family, but he seldom handles any state affairs personally. The first thing he did after gaining the power to supervise the country was to vigorously promote the development of science and technology, correcting the thinking of most people who were still too dependent on the past. The world has entered an era of rapid technological development, and many talented and ambitious people have emerged.
Most of the rest of the time, Jian Yue left things to Murong Cheng and Jiang Yan and other seniors. After graduation, these outstanding disciples from aristocratic families entered the Internal Affairs Bureau to help deal with the affairs of the planet.
The days suddenly became quiet.
Jian Yue is actually quite busy every day. He is busy reclaiming wasteland on the old site of Hope Island.
The maple forest had long been renovated, and the corpses under the maple forest had long been taken back by various families. Now it was just an ordinary lawn planted with wild flowers.
At the former site of the sacred tree, there is a remaining branch of the sacred tree.
In the second year of the planet's reconstruction, the king stepped down, the people regained their freedom, the world entered an era of rapid technological development, and hope was once again falling on this land on a quiet spring day.
New branches sprouted at the old site of the sacred tree.
Few people know about this.
When the little prince came to visit, Jian Yue was not in the royal city. He went to Hope Island to look for him and saw Jian Yue standing by the branch. He said, "The sacred tree has resurrected. Isn't this a good sign? Even if you can't let the innate divine power return to the planet, at least you can announce it and make people all over the world happy. They should all come to worship it. This is how you respect the sacred tree."
Jian Yue said: "Respect is not in form, but in the heart. The sacred tree brought new life to this planet, and no one will forget it."
The little prince said: "At least it can be lively."
Jian Yue smiled softly and said, "He likes quietness and is not used to a noisy environment."
The little prince knew who he was talking about. He said, "Maybe Brother Leng Li won't come back. You are now the regent, and you are worthy of me. If you still want to be my princess, I may consider it!"
Jian Yue glanced at him and said, "Your Highness, please be careful with your words and actions. The sacred tree can hear everything. Be careful that he comes back with the water rope..."
"I didn't say anything!!" The little prince's desire to survive reached its peak, and he quickly said, "You can't hit me!"
Jian Yue just looked at him and smiled.
The little prince covered his face in frustration and said, "Humph! You two are both so annoying. Don't think that I don't know that you two were together when we were still on the island! Bad guys like you really have to stay together and not bully others!"
Jian Yue: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kind words."
prince:"……"
He didn't brag!!!
It's spring again one year later.
Hope Island has changed its appearance. Jian Yue renovated the entire island and planted many beautiful flowers and grasses. Some old sites in the south were converted into schools and laboratories to provide education for children who want to go to school but whose families may not be so well-off.
These are all charities.
Qin Yu is the principal.
When Jian Yue proposed this idea, Qin Yu offered himself for the position. Although the Qin family was not a big family, it was also well-known. Qin Yu was also a student who went abroad from Hope Island. If he was willing, he could have a better position in the Internal Affairs Cabinet.
Qin Yu said: "I don't want to leave this island. Several important people in my life are buried here. This place means a lot to me."
Jian Yue did not stop him. It was important for people to find something meaningful to themselves, both for him and Qin Yu.
Qin Yu said, "Are you still guarding the tree? It's been so long, are you still waiting for him?"
Jian Yue nodded and said, "Yeah."
Qin Yu hesitated and said, "What if he really doesn't come back?"
"Just wait," he said.
It's spring again. The school has been established for one or two years. The students are all lovely. It's spring and flowers are blooming everywhere on the island, so we organize a spring outing to the sea.
Jian Yue was playing on the boat. The sky was clear during the day, but the weather suddenly changed at noon.
Strong winds swept up huge waves.
Waves more than ten meters high hit the boat. The children on the boat screamed in fear. But when the waves were about to hit, the waves seemed to be half blocked and disappeared.
It was a false alarm.
The teachers on the boat were all comforting the children. Even Qin Yu, who was not far away, patted his chest and said, "We are so lucky. We thought something was going to happen, but the waves have actually receded!"
Jian Yue stood on the deck looking at the rough waves. He had just stood in the most conspicuous place to protect a child. When the waves fell, they did not wet even a corner of his clothes.
Qin Yu asked: "Butler Wang?"
Jian Yue looked back at him and said, "Return."
"I have something urgent to do." There were surging waves of repression in his eyes.
When we returned to the island in the afternoon, the weather had cleared up again. Spring flowers were blooming all over the mountains. Someone was running on the path. The peach blossoms on the roadside kissed his red eyes with the wind, and finally fell gently on his shoulders. However, he ran ahead regardless of everything, with some eagerness.
at last.
Fell steadily into a warm embrace.
Jian Yue buried his head in his arms, panting for a long time, and then he said in a muffled voice with a little unnoticeable tremor, "Why did you come back just now?"
"I must do what I promised you." Someone stroked his hair and whispered, "Otherwise, if you get angry, what will you do if you don't want me anymore?"
Jian Yue burst into laughter and said, "If you don't come back, maybe someone will really propose to me. It's not like you, Master, who proposed to me by giving me a wedding ring and then left, leaving me alone in the empty room for so many years..."
His words were caught between his lips before he could finish.
Their auras intertwined, and the man standing in the same place was picked up horizontally. He heard the person beside him say, "Make it up to you. We still have a lot of time in the future. I will make it up to you."
The peach petals fell all over the ground.
The people who had parted met again. Under the shadows of the petals scattered all over the ground, the one who had left kissed the corner of his lips and whispered, "I will never leave you again this time. I swear."
