Chapter 378 Welcome to the Triumph, My King

"Sixty years..."

Chi Lian was in a trance for a while, and he asked: "What happened during this time?"

"Initially, you left Zhou Island and flew to Tai Sui. This process took about three years."

Neferi had a good memory and said without thinking: "After you and the Dragon Tooth Hook arrived at Taisui, there was a reaction on the Aozhu. The God was very generous to show us the projection on it."

"You are not moving inside the Aozhu."

"But we soon discovered that the passage of time in Tai Sui is extremely slow, thousands of times slower than here, so we have to be very patient when observing the projection."

Neferi raised her hand, and a group of vengeful spirits emitting different lights came over holding a wooden cup filled with liquid.

She handed the cup to Chi Lian with both hands: "This is the tea made from Guangming City's new tea this year. Try it."

Chi Lian took the teacup and took a sip of the drink called tea.

There is a strange fragrance in the mouth, which then turns into a faint bitterness. Then the bitterness fades between the lips and teeth, turning into a wonderful sweetness.

"It's nice to have a cup of tea when you wake up. How does it taste?"

“It’s delicious.”

Chi Lian gave the highest praise using the simplest language.

Nefeli smiled proudly: "This is something I invented. It can reduce worries and resentment. Of course, the most important thing is that it tastes good."

"Because of my discovery of tea, I have become a hero blessed with power by God. My next step is to obtain the title of Legend, and then see if there is a chance to become an Apostle..."

Chi Lian looked at the tea in the cup and couldn't help but sigh: "You are really tenacious."

"Thanks for the compliment."

“How did you discover tea?”

Talking about this new highlight in her life, Neferi beamed with joy: "After the war, the remaining cavalry gradually integrated into the local area. Some of them became herders, some became fishermen, and some changed their jobs to hunters, leather workers, and farmers. Because they are good at taking care of camels and have rich experience in raising them, they are of great help to the Redthorn Tribe's animal husbandry."

"When I was collecting vengeful spirits, I saw many people complaining that the camel beasts had become inexplicably hyperactive and would steal food, which had never happened before in the cavalry. So I investigated and found that the camel beasts loved to eat the leaves of a kind of dwarf tree in the wild. After eating, they became energetic and not afraid of fatigue."

"That dwarf tree is the tea tree. After repeated research and experimentation, I finally figured out how to make tea."

"Today, tea is the most important specialty of the entire Zhou Island. Sand City buys a large amount of tea from us every year. Many buildings in this city, including the side hall outside the temple used to store Aozhu, were exchanged for tea."

She narrated softly: "Gradually, tea became famous, and Guangming City was also considered the "hometown of tea" by the Yao people. Many Yao people from Shacheng moved here to settle down, just to get the latest and best tea and do tea trade."

Chi Lian looked at the teacup in his hand. There were some strips of dark green leaves in the tea at the bottom of the cup.

He never thought that it was a tiny leaf that changed the face of the island.

"These are our attempts before you return. They are a bonus."

Neferi said, "I'll take you for a walk around the city. It has changed a lot in the past few decades. I'll continue while we walk."

Following her footsteps, Chi Lian strolled on the streets of Guangming City.

In the past, the city's buildings were basically thatched huts, with only a few high-end residences built with rubble and clay, which were usually built only by large families with the labor force.

Today, there are no thatched huts in Guangming City. Square stone houses have become the main buildings in the city. In addition, there are also some wooden houses, which are usually two stories high. Nefeli said that most of these wooden houses are shops, and the wooden structure is more convenient for internal renovation and further expansion.

The Observatory has also been further renovated, with stairs and guardrails built around it, and Redthorn tribe members guarding it like soldiers.

The guards were dressed in linen, holding iron-tipped spears and carrying square shields. They patrolled the altar in groups of two, forbidding outsiders to approach this sacred place.

Neferi said: "This place hasn't changed much. After all, this is a special wonder that only you can use."

Chi Lian could feel that the mysterious power of the Stargazing Altar remained.

Standing here, Tai Sui's call became clearer in his mind.

"It seems that I have gone too far. Let me continue to talk about the changes over the years... Your speed has been slowed down thousands of times in Tai Sui. One action can last for several months. Everyone was very patient at first. But after a few years, most people only pay attention occasionally. Ordinary people still have to rely on labor to make a living."

The wind blew.

The large gold earrings on Neferi's earlobes swayed gently, her hair was blown slightly apart, and her eyes seemed to have a more hazy and confused look.

"Four years after you left Zhou Island, you spoke your first words to Dragon Tooth Hook. It took me four months to listen to and record your words."

"You said that you felt your wisdom was being disturbed and weakened, and you couldn't stay for long."

“Then in the fourth year, you said you felt the oracle,” she said.

"In the fifth year, you picked up a black glove from the ground."

"In the seventh year, you began to dig out the area filled with dust and rubble."

"In the eleventh year, you found King Ben's [King's Sword Talisman], and you told us through Aozhu that there was a capsule in Tai Sui's body."

"After you finished explaining the connection between the Tai Sui capsule and the World Stone, it has already been the eighteenth year."

Neferi remembered every scene like the back of her hand: "In the twenty-third year, you used the Mountain Python to drill through the surface layer of accumulated impurities, entered the capsule, and disappeared in the projection."

"At that time, many people didn't say it, but they suspected that you had met with an accident. In the next thirty years, there was no trace of you on Aozhu."

She looked up at the sky and said, "We have waited too long. Human patience is limited. Life is a short period of time and humans are naturally short-sighted. The Redthorn Tribe is no exception."

"I have stored the Aozhu in the side hall, and no longer allow the tribesmen to watch it at will, to avoid everyone being sad and depressed. I will sit in the side hall and continue to observe the projection on the Aozhu."

"During this period, many of the older generation of the Redthorn tribe died of old age or illness, and the remaining Benqi people completely integrated into the local community, becoming indistinguishable from each other... In the eyes of the young Redthorn people and the new generation of Benqi people, you are more like a figure in ancient legends, an existence as distant as a god."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"But Lord Slymod said that you would come back."

At this point, Neferi asked, "You are at Taisui's place, don't you feel that the time is wrong?"

"I had a feeling, but I didn't expect the difference in time would be so big."

Chi Lian Memories.

Inside Tai Sui's body, he could feel a strange force distorting himself. The decline and dullness of wisdom was just an external manifestation, and other physiological aspects were also continuously affected and stressed.

But at that time, he was so focused on digging out Tai Sui's body that he had no time to think about it.

Neferi's statement verified Chi Lian's inference.

——Staying in the body of Tai Sui, the movement of life will become slow, until it finally stagnates completely and turns into a solidified dead object.

This degree of stagnation will continue to deepen with the duration of stay.

In Chi Lian's personal opinion, his talking to the Dragon Tooth Hook, receiving the oracle from the God Yao, picking up the [Anti-Stab Fisting Gloves], and even digging open the surface of the sac where impurities were accumulated were a series of consecutive actions, all completed in a very short period of time.

But on the island where Aozhu was, in the scene that Nefili saw, Chi Lian's movements became slower and slower, and the time was getting longer and longer.

This is because of the influence of Tai Sui's power.

“No wonder.”

Neferi suddenly realized: "When you appeared next to the dragon's tooth hook again, another thirty-six years had passed."

"When you ascended with the Dragon Tooth Hook, time suddenly sped up again. Not long after, under the guidance of Lord Yaoshen, you appeared in the sky here like a meteor from outer space. Lord Slymod brought you back to the temple. You drifted in a coma for two years before waking up."

"During this period, a kingdom has been established here with the City of Light as the royal capital. It is called the Kingdom of the Sun. The kingdom has three cities with a total population of about 160,000. The Kingdom Code clearly stipulates that the King of Light is the only king. He will serve as the governor in the form of a ghost and will temporarily manage the country according to your orders..."

Chi Lian finally remembered: "Where is Zhao?"

"The archon presided over the funeral at the cemetery outside the city. This is also one of the most important ceremonies in the Kingdom of the Sun today. Through the method of burying the stork, fish and mayfly together, the guardian spirit is strengthened to protect and continue the living."

"Mayfly jar? Guardian spirit?" Chi Lian was confused.

"It's the jar you brought back."

Neferi explained: "That is the Immortal Wonder [Stork Fish Mayfly Tank], a very incredible treasure. Burying the bodies of the dead in it can strengthen the guardian spirit and thus protect everyone in the entire kingdom."

"It can be said that the good weather and continuous improvement of the people's labor and survival security in the past in the Kingdom of the Sun are inseparable from the solid foundation you have laid; your courage and determination to explore the outer space and challenge the powerful star god alone are now the memory bond that countless people are proud of; and this immortal wonder you brought back has made more people look forward to the future."

"So……"

Neferi placed one hand on her chest and nodded to him: "Welcome, my king. Your subjects have been waiting for this day for a long time."

Chi Lian raised his head and looked at the sky.

The sun still shines on the whole world.

Lord Yaoshen, thank you for your trust and tolerance towards me.

Tai Sui’s whispers still echo in his ears, but the young king is no longer hesitant.
