Half an hour later, the final meeting decision was made.
Chen Feng's identity was announced, but he was only nominated as a spiritual leader.
The leaders of the World Government swore on the spot that they would obey his leadership spiritually.
And then...
there was no then.
The World Government did not announce what specific position Chen Feng would hold, leaving it to ordinary people to imagine.
Chen Feng was quite satisfied with the result.
The self-awareness of these people was finally awakened a little.
There is no doubt that they still hope that Chen Feng will take the position.
It's just that Chen Feng clearly refused.
His reasons were also very sufficient. No matter how talented and amazing he was, he was still a thousand-year-old man.
He had only been in this strange era where the level of technology had changed from the past for more than a month.
He still needs to learn the technological background and warfare mode in the new environment.
His fighting talent is an innate instinct.
But his comprehensive ability in command and science is still far from enough.
Proper concealment of the truth is equivalent to leaving
blank space. How the world sees it is left to them to figure out.
Those who hope that Chen Feng will take the leadership position will see the oath of the leaders and expect Chen Feng to continue to lead the present as he led the ancients thousands of years ago.
Those who have slight concerns about Chen Feng's leadership across generations will notice that Chen Feng did not take the stage directly, and believe that the wise sages must have considered this drawback.
No matter from which angle the people and grassroots soldiers think about it, they can all think of the results they want.
This is a way of handling the situation that can both maintain stability and appropriately boost morale.
After reading the decision, Chen Feng sent a private message to Tang Tianxin.
"Please do me a favor and inform others of my latest decision. I can accept the position of leader of the Leaky Cauldron Corps, but there are three conditions. First, terminate the God of War Plan. Second, remove all my statues. As for others... keep them. Third, the Leaky Cauldron Corps and I must obey your command. No objections will be accepted."
Two seconds later, Tang Tianxin replied, "I want to talk to you."
"Please notify others for me first."
"Okay."
Five minutes later, the two met in a virtual space simulated as a forest.
In the middle of the dense forest stands a pavilion.
The pavilion with red tiles and gray pillars has a stone table and wide chairs.
On the stone table is a cake, a glass of orange juice, and a glass of fresh Dahongpao tea that is emitting a sneer.
The functions of intelligent programs are becoming more and more advanced. The barriers between the virtual world and reality have long been broken. If ordinary people do not know in advance that this is a virtual space, it is easy for them to get lost in it.
If it were not for the huge threat of the external environment that lingers, and humans develop completely freely, I am afraid that at least half of the world's population would be addicted to this virtual world where they can get whatever they want.
It is hard to say whether it is good or bad. The deep integration of the human brain and artificial intelligence is one of the future directions in a certain sense.
At this time, Tang Tianxin, dressed in plain clothes, was standing on the steps of the pavilion, holding a thick book in her hand, looking at Chen Feng who was walking towards her from a distance.
Tang Tianxin was a little embarrassed at first, until Chen Feng walked in, she smiled with relief, and was very charming.
Tea does not intoxicate people, people intoxicate themselves.
"What are you laughing at?"
Chen Feng sat down on the chair, subconsciously wanted to cross his legs, but suddenly remembered his sage personality, and quietly put them down, feeling very uncomfortable.
Tang Tianxin also sat down and ate a sweet bite of strawberry cheesecake, "I'm happy, so I laughed."
After saying that, she looked at Chen Feng carefully with a little bit of presumption, which made Chen Feng feel a little uncomfortable.
Tang Tianxin: "I really didn't expect it."
"What did you expect?" "
I didn't expect that the thousand-year-old savior Chen Feng, who was portrayed as a god in history books, didn't have three heads and six arms and a halo on his head. He looked like an ordinary person, and he was particularly interested in certain things."
Chen Feng laughed, "Don't be ridiculous, what savior, hi."
Then he shook his head suddenly and said seriously: "A thousand years ago, there was a song that accompanied me growing up. There was a line in it. There has never been a savior, and we don't rely on gods or emperors. Now I give this song to you, to you."
After speaking, Chen Feng tapped his fingertips lightly.
The sound of music gradually rang in the forest, and after a long time, it slowly stopped.
After listening to the song, Tang Tianxin's eyes sparkled. "I've heard this song before, but I thought it wasn't big enough because we've already stepped out of the Earth. But now that you let me listen to it again, I understand your idea a little bit."
Chen Feng looked up at the virtual blue sky and white clouds, leaned back in his chair, "Yes, the world a thousand years ago was the Earth. Today's world exists, but it has become the entire universe. So, although what I did may be considered a savior's work, I never dared to claim to be a savior. The fact that mankind can cross eight timelines and come to this day is not only due to me, but also to the 400 billion comrades who sacrificed their lives over the years."
"If I really regard myself as the savior one day and think I am great, then it is equivalent to denying the efforts of others. I will become a sinner and a real devil."
Wow.
Tang Tianxin turned a page of the book.
This book is "Unyielding Edge".
She turned to the description of Chen Feng's first arrival at the porthole of the spherical battleship.
The book said so.
"This was an important step for the sage Chen Feng. He finally saw the face of the invader and conveyed humanity's fighting spirit to the other side before his death. We will never know how the invader in that timeline would view the sage Chen Feng's seemingly desperate behavior. But we can understand his anger and unwillingness in our timeline, across time and space. It is this spirit that guides him to move forward."
"This is a small step for him, but a giant leap for mankind. Through the efforts of countless generations across thousands of years and across several timelines, his equipment has evolved from primitive large-scale mechas to the Morning Breeze combat system with decent performance, allowing him to make continuous progress. It was also the more advanced space warfare system at the time that gave him a chance to move forward. Perhaps he was able to achieve such a result at the time because the invaders underestimated the enemy, but he ultimately did everything he wanted to do.
" Chen Feng also finished reading this paragraph and smiled, "It's a very insightful summary. So, you don't have to deny yourselves. Although I am extremely disappointed in your will, I must also admit that your generation is more talented in science and military than any generation I have ever seen. I am just dissatisfied with your fighting spirit and self-confidence being worn out in blind worship."
Tang Tianxin asked again: "So you must destroy our worship of you now?"
"Yes. My godhead must be shattered. I once said that if humans must have a god to defeat the enemy, then this god can only be a miracle created by the entire civilization. As long as there is a one in a billion chance, I also want to ask, why should we wait until the future timeline to defeat the enemy, why not now?"
Tang Tianxin nodded, "I understand. In the next ten months, I will improve myself at all costs. Since I have served as the highest commander, it proves that I have the talent, and I should work harder to strive for it."
"Well, I'm glad you think this way. You should have taken on more responsibilities, whether because you have proven your talent in each timeline or because you are a member of the commander sequence. In an era that emphasizes information disclosure and fairness, if everyone has the determination to replace me, then I will be much more relaxed."
Tang Tianxin summoned a mirror in front of him and said to himself in the mirror: "So, I have to say to myself "I'm sorry. I failed your talent. Even though I'm young, I should be able to take Lu Xianfeng's position."
Chen Feng looked at her serious expression and laughed again, "Good! Very good! You are worthy of being my general! You are always the first to surprise me."
He held Tang Tianxin's hand, "Only leaders who have gone through the brutal competition of survival of the fittest and have sat in high positions with an even more brutal attitude are worthy of trust and worth following at all costs."
"When you have this attitude, I can be more at ease in following your orders. I once told you that I will always be the sharpest knife in your hand, and this sentence has never changed."
"I, compared to others, have always trusted your ability the most. You are the only one who has never let me down. This time I still want to bet everything on you. This will bring you heavy pressure, but I believe you can do it. Even if I really lose this time, and lose to you, I will not regret it."
Tang Tianxin nodded slightly.
The two held hands and looked into each other's eyes.
After a long while, Tang Tianxin suddenly asked, "When are you going back to Earth?"
"If we are leaving soon, it will take about two days to arrive. Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"I want to play chess."
Chen Feng: "Hmm?"
Tang Tianxin stood up slowly and said slowly: "Major General Chen Feng, since you have not taken over the post of the head of the Broken Cauldron Army, your military position is still my security officer, and I am your direct superior. I order you, when you return to Earth, the first thing you do is to play chess with me."
"Playing chess with you can help me get better logical skills, and I also want to try to have our child again. Even if the chance is only one in ten thousand. I want her to be born, and I want her to see me fighting side by side with you. I also want to apologize to you, I should respect your love view more."
Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, "Okay!"
It was back again, the taste of the past.
After a moment, Chen Feng asked again: "What do you think of me and Zhong Lei?"
Tang Tianxin: "Are you asking if I feel guilty about Master Zhong Lei?"
"Yes."
"I don't want to lie to you. No. I regard her as your original wife, and myself as your first choice for optimizing your family. Your genes should have been treated at the highest level and should be passed on."
Although he had already guessed her answer, Chen Feng still felt regretful.
Part of her problem was solved, but another part was still buried deep in the foundation and could not be removed.
He smiled and said, "It's okay. Let's leave it at that for now."
He swore to himself that he would never let you develop this kind of worldview next time.
I also have to apologize to mankind.
It was my mistake, I admit it.
