Chapter 589: Mountains and Rivers Enter Dreams

Dawn 445 years.

Ji He returned to his position.

But this time, he finally decided to let it go.

But before letting it go, he still had some time to prepare, because with the help of Feng Qi, he had extended his life for a period of time.

But even Feng Qi couldn't give an accurate answer to how long his life could be extended.

Through the experience data of these years of faith growth, one thing that can be confirmed is that borrowing talents is affected by one's own physical fitness.

He is not a cultivator, and the effect of borrowing talents is really limited.

According to Feng Qi, this talent was specially customized for him by Wei Wei, the former director of the Genetic Department of the Scarlet Research Institute. It was taken from a lobster named "Mala", which can effectively slow down the aging rate of its own cells.

Feng Qi estimated that he has a maximum of 20 years of life.

For Ji He, extending his life for 20 years is enough, which is enough for him to arrange his affairs after his death.

Back at his residence, he called his student "Liao Jie".

The moment he saw Ji He, Liao Jie, who was already a middle-aged man, was surprised and couldn't help asking:

"Teacher, you seem to have become younger."

Ji He nodded, but did not tell anyone that he believed in Feng Qi.

Feng Qi also promised him that he would never tell anyone that he was a believer.

"Xiao Jie, I have a task for you." Ji He said softly at this time.

"Teacher, you said."

"Go and assist someone and help him grow."

"Who?"

"Chen Zhao!"

Hearing this name, Liao Jie frowned slightly.

He was not unfamiliar with this name. Chen Zhao was an outstanding graduate of the Dawn Academy. His current position was serving at the grassroots level in Xingcheng. He had publicly criticized the teacher's behavior many times and even organized a public march to protest the teacher's reforms.

But the teacher never did anything and let them mess around.

He had wanted to deal with this matter a long time ago, and had repeatedly suggested that the teacher sweep away these thorns, but he was stopped by the teacher many times.

Hearing the teacher asking him to help Chen Zhao grow, Liao Jie was full of doubts and puzzled by the teacher's decision:

"Teacher, do you want me to infiltrate these opponents and then find opportunities to defeat them one by one?"

"You don't need to understand why, just help him wholeheartedly... Remember, don't be selfish, I want you to help him wholeheartedly."

Facing Liao Jie's inquiry, Ji He smiled and shook his head.

Liao Jie never refused the teacher's decision. He knew that the teacher must have his intentions for doing so. After a long silence, he nodded and said:

"Teacher, I understand, I will help Chen Zhao grow."

After Liao Jie left, Ji He sat on the sofa in the room and fell into deep thought.

In the limited future, he still has many ideas that have not been implemented, but he is no longer obsessed with them. Now his idea is to complete one by one.

As Feng Qi said.

Compromise with yourself is not giving up, but facing regrets calmly and moving forward.

He wants to push Xingcheng for another step in his limited life.

The next day, Ji He convened a Xingcheng meeting.

Sitting in the chairman's seat of the Supreme Council, his eyes swept over everyone present.

Many of the decision-makers who had worked with him have retired, and the old generation has been replaced by new people. Now many of these new people, like him in the past, have great ambitions and want to contribute their own strength to the rise of Star City.

At this meeting, Ji He decided to implement a decision immediately.

Ji He had conceived this plan for a long time, but it has never been implemented.

The name of the plan is "Spirit Beast Breeding Plan".

After the war with the Sky-Splitting God Clan, Ji He discovered many shortcomings of the military and has implemented many reform plans for the military over the years.

But the essence of the human race's problems comes from the low potential of their bloodline.

For this reason, he promoted guaranteed marriages and forced the talented new generation to have two or even three children to speed up the replacement and improvement of bloodline potential.

But that's not enough.

The essential problem needs time to settle, but Ji He feels that there are still many potential solutions that can be implemented, all of which can bring improvements in the combat power of the human race.

One of the plans is spirit beast breeding, and the specific reference object is the Sky-Splitting God Clan.

The Sky-Splitting God Clan has a racial characteristic, their fertility rate is low, so the number of tribesmen is always small.

But the Sky-Splitting God Clan increases the combat power of their clan by breeding spirit beasts.

Nearly half of the warriors of the Sky-Splitting God Clan have their own exclusive spirit beast mounts, which opened up a new idea for Ji He.

He felt that the human race could completely imitate the Sky-Splitting God Clan to cultivate spirit beast mounts, which would bring external help to the human race at a non-cultivation level.

More importantly, humans would also have a new auxiliary growth system.

The reason why it has not been implemented in recent years is that Star City is in a stage of rapid development in recent years, and the expenditure of resources has become extremely large. Breeding spirit beasts is also a project with huge resource expenditures, which will accelerate the emptying of Star City's inventory resources.

But this time, Ji He decided to speed up the consumption of Star City's resources and intensify the internal contradictions of Star City.

There is not much time left for him, and he wants to leave a way out for future generations.

After the meeting, Ji He decided to build another spirit beast breeding farm in the west of the new city of Dawn City.

This matter was handed over to the construction department of Star City. Next, he decided to personally follow the envoy of Star City to connect with Destiny City to go to Destiny City.

A few days later, Ji He appeared on the second floor of the main hall of Destiny City.

This was Ji He's first time in Destiny City. In the past, he could only learn about this place through pictures and videos brought back by the messengers.

Following the Star City messenger, Ji He met three spirit beast merchants in Destiny City.

They had many spirit beasts that could be cultivated and raised, which could be eaten or used in external battles.

Ji He already had a clear idea of ​​how to choose spiritual beasts.

This was the first time that the human race had explored the path of spiritual beast breeding. He considered the selection of the first batch of spiritual beasts from three directions.

The first consideration was that the human race did not have the technology to breed spiritual beasts at this stage. Easily raising them was the first option for the human race to explore and advance, and to accumulate experience through the breeding of the first batch of spiritual beasts. The

second consideration was loyalty. What he needed was that the spiritual beasts had extremely high loyalty after growing up and were not easy to rebel.

The third consideration was the seemingly most important bloodline potential.

In Ji He's eyes, the significance of the first batch of breeding spiritual beasts was more about practical exploration than actual combat.

At the spiritual beast merchant, Ji He saw many spiritual beasts, but the value of each spiritual beast was not low.

There were many spiritual beasts that met the three requirements. Ji He finally chose a spiritual beast called "Miracle Bird". This spiritual beast had a low meat-to-feed ratio, strong adaptability to low spiritual energy environments, and extremely high loyalty, which met Ji He's requirements for the first batch of spiritual beasts.

After paying the deposit to the middleman and deciding to buy 100 miracle birds, Ji He returned to Xingcheng.

Next, all he had to do was wait for the establishment of the spiritual beast breeding farm.

Before that, he had one more thing to do, which was to set up a major in the academy for breeding spirit beasts.

The Ministry of Education issued Ji He's order to all academies that day.

This major does not have special requirements for academies, and all academies in Star City can offer this major.

Ji He wants to train a group of talents in spirit beast breeding, and they will also be the founders of the human spirit beast breeding technology.

Open up a brand new road for the human spirit beast breeding road.

Next, Ji He ordered the messenger who connected to Destiny City to purchase a batch of breeding technology materials from the spirit beast merchants.

Half a month later, the messenger brought back a large amount of breeding technology materials.

Ji He handed this part of the information to the domain learning team of the Dawn Academy, asking them to translate all the information into the human language as soon as possible, and then distribute it to the academies in Star City.

Three years later.

With the help of the Silver Moon Clan, the spirit beast breeding farm outside the Dawn City was completed faster than expected.

At the same time, the Dawn Academy also completed the work he arranged and translated all the spirit beast breeding technology materials purchased by Destiny City.

One hundred miracle birds were also brought back from Destiny City.

After the Psychic Department tested these 100 miracle birds, it was found that their bloodline potential was actually better than that of the human race in Star City at this stage.

Ji He was surprised, but he didn't think there was anything wrong.

Miracle birds are very loyal. Even if their bloodline potential is higher than that of humans, they can still be used by humans. This is an advantage in Ji He's eyes, not a disadvantage.

The improvement of human bloodline potential is slow. Cultivating spirit beasts will help humans improve their comprehensive strength from another level. This is also the reason why he opened the spirit beast breeding project.

Ji He is full of longing for the future of spirit beast breeding.

Time flies.

Another eleven years have passed

in a flash. In the past ten years, Ji He has not wasted a minute. He has spent his last enthusiasm on this ancient land that he has loved all his life, constantly optimizing the structure of Star City and promoting new plans.

But he is still old after all.

At the age of 96, he does not even reach the average life expectancy of the human race in Star City, but he is overworked and has never practiced the method of spiritual energy to temper his body, so his body ages very quickly.

Borrowing innate abilities also had side effects, and Ji He often felt dazed.

Knowing that his time was running out, although he still had thousands of ideas in his heart that he wanted to implement, Ji He finally decided to let it go.

This time, he decided to take the last step of the plan.

This year, Ji He's behavior became radical, madly consuming the resources of Xingcheng, making Xingcheng's internal circulation more serious.

The backlog of contradictions finally reached a boiling point.

There were more and more voices of dissatisfaction with Ji He's high-pressure rule. The whole city needed an outlet for venting, and the scale of the parade became larger and larger.

Among them, the organization headed by Chen Zhao was the most influential.

They took the grassroots of Xingcheng as the starting point, and with the idea of ​​resisting Ji He's tyranny, they rose and expanded rapidly. The goal was to change the pattern of Xingcheng and change the autocracy to the former Xingcheng Supreme Council model.

At this time, Xingcheng needed a vent.

As the supreme commander of Xingcheng, Ji He inevitably became this vent.

And this is the last plan Ji He left for himself.

Ji He always understood that under his high-pressure rule, although Xingcheng was developing rapidly, its internal contradictions were constantly intensifying.

It was he who pushed Xingcheng towards a trend of continuous involution.

This is an era of talents, but countless people have become the foil of the times.

Now the resources in the Xingcheng resource library have been digested by him under high pressure, and are no longer enough to support Xingcheng's radical growth model. It needs to return to a stable stage, that is, the initial Xingcheng Supreme Council model.

But before that, he needs a new reformer to stand up and overthrow the old one.

And this is also the process of overthrowing his ideas.

By then, the contradictions that have been squeezed for a long time in Xingcheng will be completely vented, and the new system will be supported and stabilized by the people of the whole city.

For this day, Ji He started to lay out 20 years ago.

In the end, he found a new generation of talents that he admired very much. His name is "Chen Zhao".

At the beginning, he asked his disciple Liao Jie to assist Chen Zhao's growth. He had the idea of ​​helping Chen Zhao rise, but also to protect his disciple Liao Jie.

The fruit that was planted at the beginning is now about to bloom.

On this day, the door of Ji He's office was pushed open, and Liao Jie, who had not been seen for many years, appeared in front of him again.

Looking at the old Ji He, Liao Jie's eyes were red:

"Teacher, why?"

Looking at his favorite student, Ji He smiled and shook his head:

"This is the destination I chose for myself, no need to be sad."

"Teacher... I don't want to hurt you."

Hearing this, Ji He's expression became serious, and then he slammed the table and scolded:

"Don't want to? Do you still remember the oath you took when you graduated from Dawn Academy? The future of Star City is what you should consider. If I don't die, how can the internal conflicts of Star City be resolved? How can the system of Star City be reformed? Now tell me that you don't want to. If you don't want to, you shouldn't have entered the power layer of Star City, and you shouldn't have applied for the administrative management of Dawn Academy. You can't put the priorities clearly. In the future, you'd better not enter the Supreme Council of Star City. I'm afraid you will ruin the future of Star City!"

"Go back, don't come to see me again, and continue to assist Chen Zhao in promoting reforms."

Looking at the teacher with an angry expression, Liao Jie's lips trembled, his fists clenched, and then he turned and left abruptly.

After Liao Jie left, Ji He shook his head helplessly.

...

Dawn 459, the end of the year.

When the Dawn flag outside the administrative building was raised, the people of Star City surrounded the administrative building.

When the people pushed away the defensive forces and ran to the main building gate, Ji He, dressed in white, was already waiting there.

Looking at the angry people of Star City, Ji He smiled.

He knew that his era was over.

In the future, Star City will return to the right track, return to the stage of recuperating, and wait for the next new era of change.

Ji He was put on a prison car specially built for him by the angry people of Star City and paraded through the streets. The elderly Ji He was always smiling.

In this way, he revisited Star City, a land he had loved all his life.

After the three-day parade, Ji He was imprisoned in the military dungeon.

Sitting alone in the cold iron window, Ji He was wearing a prisoner's uniform, sitting against the wall, with messy white hair hanging down.

In a few days, he will be executed.

But Ji He did not feel sad at all, and he only felt regretful that he could not witness the bright future of Star City.

Centralized reform, front-line regiment and military reform, resource allocation reform, calming the Silver Moon Rebellion, clearing the Sky-Splitting God Clan, and the Spirit Beast Cultivation Plan... His life is worth it.

But he has made too many mistakes in his life.

His hands are stained with the blood of many predecessors who are loyal to the human race.

Dean Hu of Hupo Research Institute, Lin Zhengyuan of the military, Li Zhan of Wings of Death, and so on, were all victims of his reform.

The prison under his feet once held many of his predecessors, who died here.

And his rise is like a tree. The more he yearns for the sunlight above, the more his roots will continue to extend into the dark underground.

So he is a dictator and tyrant in the eyes of the people.

After calculating others for a lifetime, Ji He left this last plan to himself.

Feng Qi once said that he would give him a good ending, but he refused. This was his choice and what he thought was the best destination.

Five days later, in the evening, Ji He stepped onto the execution ground of Xingcheng accompanied by military personnel.

Wearing shackles and standing in the center of the execution ground, looking at the people of Xingcheng from afar, Ji He smiled happily.

When he was pushed onto the beheading platform, Ji He ushered in his final judgment.

When the sharp sword was about to fall, Ji He slowly closed his eyes.

Before his life disappeared, he seemed to see the ideal future slowly unfolding before his eyes.

He never married, had no children, and never sought any benefit for himself. He gave all his love to Xingcheng. Unfortunately, he will never see the future of Xingcheng.

May our human race prosper forever.

As he whispered in his heart, everything was settled.

At this moment, the dusk turned into sunset, and the mountains and rivers turned into dreams.

Ji He's legendary life came to an end, and Xingcheng will usher in a glorious rise that has never been seen in history.

QAQ I feel so bad when I write this .

Thank you for the 1500 points rewarded by the passing wind.
