Chapter 588: The Legacy Echoes in the Sad Wind

. In the year 424 of Dawn, at the beginning of the year.

The long-prepared war finally started.

Under Ji He's command, the five forces divided into three groups and marched towards the Sky-Splitting Clan from the east, south and north.

Facing the invasion of the human coalition, the Sky-Splitting Clan and Ji He decisively started the psychological deterrence tactics as expected.

When the Cloud Temple appeared in the north of the Silver Moon Clan's main attack, the dazzling golden light shone, and the holy breath swept all around, bringing a strong visual deterrence to the Silver Moon Clan's warriors.

However, the Silver Moon Clan had learned about the details of the Sky-Splitting Clan through the intelligence sharing of the human race. Facing the deterrence of the Sky-Splitting Clan, the Silver Moon Clan responded with a fierce attack.

The horn of war suddenly sounded, and the relatively stable development environment was broken.

The chapter of blood and song began.

Time turned, and 5 years passed in the blink of an eye.

The footsteps of war were advancing along with the historical process, and countless figures fell on the road to open up new roads.

After five years of battlefield experience, Ji He's ability to control the war has become more stable. Coupled with his character of acting after planning, he can always analyze the war strategy of the Sky-Splitting Clan in advance.

At the beginning, the Silver Moon Clan expressed dissatisfaction with Ji He's relatively mild protracted war style.

But when the top leaders of the Silver Moon Clan realized that the balance of victory was gradually tilting towards their side, they also understood Ji He's idea.

Thinking from his perspective, they understood that what Ji He wanted was to win at the lowest cost, which was a manifestation of responsibility to his people and even the allied tribes.

This old man who never practiced, relying on his unique charm, gradually established prestige in the coalition.

At the end of Dawn 430.

One-third of the territory of the Sky-Splitting Clan was taken by the coalition. Faced with the request for peace from the envoy of the Sky-Splitting Clan, Ji He executed the envoy without hesitation.

There is no moral value of not beheading the envoy in racial war.

As for the thoughts of the Silver Moon Clan, Ji He was not worried.

The arrival of the envoy of the Sky-Splitting Clan will inevitably make the Silver Moon Clan see the possibility of recovering the ancestral heritage in advance, and feel that they can get back the information and weapons of the Silver Snake Empire through negotiation.

But the Silver Moon Clan will definitely think of a problem. The

Silver Moon Clan is not the only one who contributed to this war. If the legacy of the Silver Snake Empire is taken back through negotiations, what benefits can the allies gain in return?

Behind the support of the human race, the mist tribe, the winter city, and the elves, there are still resources waiting to be divided after the destruction of the gods.

At this point in the war, the right to speak on whether to cease fire does not belong to the Silver Moon Clan alone.

Moreover, the war is steadily advancing and victory is in sight. It is impossible to stop at this time.

This is the problem that Ji He considered when he killed the messenger, so he killed it without hesitation and did not even notify the Silver Moon Clan.

Time flies.

At the north gate of the front-line city, Ji He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky-breaking field barrier at the end of the plain. After

13 years of front-line career, his black hair has turned completely white.

A pair of eyes are full of vicissitudes of life.

After calculating the time, Ji He suddenly realized that he was 74 years old.

He is not a cultivator, and he does not have the physique and lifespan that cultivators have tempered with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. He knows that he has little time left.

Over the years, he can clearly feel the fatigue brought by his body, and he is no longer the energetic boy in his youth.

For the first time, Ji He has a strong sense of anxiety about his lifespan.

Time is running out, but he still has many unfinished ideas waiting for him to implement.

Now that the coalition forces are in an absolute advantage, he decided to launch a general offensive in the near future to completely dispel the Sky-Splitting Domain.

After a long time, Ji He turned and left.

Half a month later, the coalition forces of the five major forces gathered in front of the front-line city, preparing to launch the final offensive against the Sky-Splitting God Clan.

Standing on the top of the city, Ji He overlooked the dense figures in front.

After the baptism of blood and fire, the growth of the Star City Military Department is visible to the naked eye, like a piece of steel that has been tempered a thousand times.

The final battle is also the final test of the Star City Military Department.

Standing on the top of the city, Ji He made a pre-war declaration, expressing his pride.

As the commander of the coalition forces, Ji He has established prestige and trust in their hearts. When Ji He finished speaking, all the soldiers responded with cheers and roars.

"All troops attack!"

Ji He's order was issued. The five major forces, Star City Military, Mist Clan, Dawn Military, Silver Moon Clan, and Elf City, launched the final offensive against the Sky-Splitting Field under their respective command and leadership. The

tragic final battle began.

In this battle, Star City's trump card "Sword of Dawn" was unsheathed.

Wherever the black fog passed, the warriors of the Sky-Splitting God Clan had no enemy. The terrifying energy absorption ability made the mechanical nanoworms always invincible.

This is the legacy that Mo Yu left to the human race. The light from several epochs ago passed through the barrier of time and sprinkled on the battlefield of the new era.

In the end, the mechanical nanoworms faced the Sky-Splitting God Lord.

In the battle between the top combat forces, the mechanical nanoworms were instantly sealed and lost power.

But the mechanical nanoworms limited the continued use of the miracle seal, allowing the coalition forces to ignore the threat of the miracle seal and continue to advance with great momentum.

The war lasted for ten days, and the barrier of the Sky-Splitting Domain was overwhelmed and cracks appeared.

With the advantage, the coalition soldiers became stronger and stronger.

Ji He, who was stationed in the rear, received good news from the front every day.

Every time at this time, Ji He's heart would rise with infinite pride. On

the 37th day of the final battle, when the victory report came, Ji He personally walked out of the city gate to greet the victorious soldiers.

The coalition won the final victory in this battle.

The only regret is that the Sky-Splitting God Clan escaped the siege and fled in advance with dozens of confidants.

The miracle seal was also taken away by the Sky-Splitting God Lord.

But Ji He had anticipated the occurrence of this incident, and just felt regretful, but not unacceptable.

After all, the personal combat power of the Sky-Splitting God Lord is stronger than the top combat power of the coalition, and they cannot stop the Sky-Splitting God Lord from risking his life to break through.

Ji He was very satisfied with the victory of this battle.

The Sky-Splitting Domain collapsed, and the threat lying in the north of Star City was swept away, and the road to the north was smooth.

With a new supply area and a new channel for obtaining resources, Star City is about to usher in a brand new opportunity for development, and a brand new era will finally come.

It took a month to count the resources after the war.

The Sky-Splitting Clan had a large amount of inventory resources that could not be taken away, including many rare resources that had never been seen before.

In the distribution of resources, all forces were extremely satisfied, except for the Silver Moon Clan, who was anxious.

The Silver Moon Clan contributed the most in this battle and was the initiator of this battle, but when they counted the spoils, they did not find the afterglow of the Silver Snake Empire. The

high-level officials of the Silver Moon Clan were completely panicked.

Although they found the legacy data of the Silver Snake Empire stored in the resource library of the Sky-Splitting Clan when counting the spoils, this part of the data can greatly improve the engineering technology of the Silver Moon Clan and take the Silver Moon Clan's ability to a higher level.

But it takes a long time to digest this part of the data.

More importantly, digesting the legacy data of the Silver Snake Empire requires a lot of spiritual resources.

But the ultimate war weapon is different, this is a finished product that can be used directly.

The biggest desire was not realized, and the high-level officials of the Silver Moon Clan seemed extremely disappointed.

From the perspective of the harvest, the Silver Moon Clan did not lose in this battle.

The legacy of the Silver Snake Empire can enable the Silver Moon Clan to develop at a faster rate and have a higher growth ceiling.

But this harvest can only be digested slowly, and it cannot bring any substantial improvement to the Silver Moon Clan in a short period of time.

Now the resources in stock are almost exhausted, and it is difficult for a good cook to develop these relics. There is a lot of desire but insufficient resources.

Faced with the four major forces of the coalition counting and dividing spiritual resources, the high-level officials of the Silver Moon Clan were collectively silent.

But this war was initiated by their organization, and the distribution of benefits was also the result of pre-negotiation, and they could not make any changes.

Just when the high-level officials of the Silver Moon Clan were anxious and distressed, Ji He found the high-level officials of the Silver Moon Clan. Ji He,

who pretended to accidentally learn that the Silver Moon Clan had not found the ultimate war weapon, decided to take out 10% of his own interests to fill the inventory resources that the Silver Moon Clan consumed excessively in this battle.

At this moment, the high-level officials of the Silver Moon Clan were grateful to Ji He.

Ji He used his own way to push the relationship between the human race and the Silver Moon tribe forward a step.

Ji He chose to do this not just to bring the human race and the Silver Moon tribe closer, but also for another potential reason.

The human race does not have the corresponding racial ability to digest the legacy data of the Silver Snake Empire.

But the Silver Moon tribe can do this. If

the interests are paid now, the Silver Moon tribe will definitely use these engineering technologies to help the human race build the Dawn New City in the future.

The current payment is to better develop the human race through the Silver Moon tribe in the future.

But the Silver Moon tribe did not know the trap set by Ji He, not only took the initiative to jump into the trap, but also thanked Ji He for his behavior.

The day he returned to Star City, Ji He brought back the fruitful fruits of the war.

Ji He can imagine what kind of changes Star City will usher in next.

...

Dawn 445.

The eighth year after the war.

The 82-year-old Ji He looked very old, and his face was already covered with wrinkles of the years.

The high-intensity work made his body deteriorate, and he could only walk with the support of a cane.

At this time in the office, Ji He looked down at the documents and found that it was so difficult for him to see the words on the documents clearly.

He wanted to continue walking, but found that he was old.

Ji He never thought that the four words "old and blurry eyes" could be reflected in himself.

At this moment, Ji He was silent.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to be unable to walk.

Although there were still many ideas in his heart that had not been realized, his body had given feedback and could no longer support him to handle the affairs of Xingcheng.

After taking a deep breath, Ji He's eyes showed a trace of unwillingness.

He was not reluctant to give up the power in his hands and rush to the road of Xingcheng's rise. He wanted to continue living, implement his own ideas, and push Xingcheng to a height that had never been seen in history.

But his health was getting worse and worse, and insisting on it seemed to only drag down the development of Xingcheng.

He was the only top decision-maker in Xingcheng, and every decision would affect the future direction of Xingcheng.

But now he even looked through the documents with such difficulty.

Give up or continue, Ji He struggled in his heart.

Time passed in Ji He's mental consumption, the sun sank outside the window, and the sunset dyed the sky red.

Ji He stood up at this time, picked up his crutches with trembling hands, and walked out of the building step by step.

It was 7:48 in the evening.

The night wind was noisy, and Ji He came to the Central Park of Xingcheng alone. He

stood in front of Fengqi's heroic statue again.

The thin white robe fluttered in the wind, and Ji He hunched over and slowly raised his head, looking up at Fengqi's heroic statue.

The scene of his youth emerged in his mind.

He vaguely remembered that when he was young, he came to worship Fengqi under the leadership of his mother.

At that time, he was young and frivolous, kneeling in front of the heroic statue, but he said:

"History has proved that you have made mistakes."

As time went by, with the improvement of status and authority, more and more information was learned, and Ji He gradually understood Fengqi's thoughts.

The deeper he understood Fengqi, the more he felt great.

The light of faith gradually connected at this time.

This old man who had never worshipped Fengqi's heroic statue again in decades was already a firm believer when they met again.

But his disguise had never been seen through.

Everyone thought he was a dictator without Fengqi's faith.

Ji He always kept this secret deep in his heart. He was unwilling to worship the statue of Feng Qi because he was afraid that the secret of his belief in Feng Qi would be discovered.

Xingcheng has always been developing under his high pressure.

He doesn't want his secrets to be discovered, and he doesn't want the reform route of faith to change because of his faith.

But when he decided to abdicate, Ji He decided to face the real him.

Although he still had regrets and reluctance in his heart, and was unwilling to give up his pace of progress, time has already declared that he does not belong to Xingcheng's future. As

time passed, the connection of faith with Fengqi became more and more stable.

But just when Ji He and Fengqi were about to establish a connection, Ji He chose to take a step back and took the initiative to interrupt the connection of faith.

"I... want to try again."

Looking up at the statue of Fengqi, Ji He's eyes were wet.

He hadn't cried for decades, but at this moment he finally couldn't suppress the sadness in his heart, and tears flowed.

When he was about to give up, he once again mustered up the courage to lead Xingcheng to continue, and was unwilling to establish a connection of faith with Fengqi.

His old friend Lin Zhengyuan once asked him why he chose to take this path.

His answer was that a pioneer fell, so he took over the baton of that pioneer and chose to move forward.

But what he didn't say was that the pioneer had tried to persuade him to give up before he died.

The teacher's last words flashed through Ji He's mind.

If Lin Zhengyuan were still alive, he could give another answer now.

The ancients said, don't fight for a short moment, but for a long life.

He is not fighting for a short moment, nor for a long life, but for the future generations of the human race. He wants to open up a brand new path for the future generations of the human race.

Although he has thousands of lofty sentiments in his heart, he finds that he can't seem to walk anymore.

The night wind blew up Ji He's gray hair, and he cried loudly with his crutches, showing an unprecedented embarrassed posture.

"I really... want to keep going."

Ji He's vision was blurred by tears, and he stood in front of the statue of Feng Qi, his heart full of struggles unwilling to give up.

"In your life, there are too many things you want to get and have, but what you can really grasp in your hands is ultimately unsatisfactory. Regret is the norm in the world. The boss asked me to tell you that letting go is the compulsory course for "Mystery Cooking Reeds".

When Ji He wiped away his tears, his vision became clear, and he found that a little girl of seven or eight years old was standing in front of him. She put her hands on her hips, looked at him with a mature expression, and continued to speak:

"The boss also asked me to tell you that true letting go is not giving up, but facing regrets calmly and moving forward. The boss hopes that you will no longer blame yourself for what you can't do, and no longer be obsessed with what you can't get, and compromise with yourself." After

listening to the little girl's words, Ji He looked up at the statue of Feng Qi again, and suddenly understood what Feng Qi meant, and also understood that his obsession was too deep.

"Knowing that it is impossible to get it suddenly, I entrust my legacy to the sad wind."

While whispering in his mouth, Ji He's body trembled and tears flowed.
