The eighth day of the fifth month of the seventh year of Daxia.
Before daybreak, the Chang'an, anchored at Yingtian Harbor, sounded its whistle.
Fu Xiaoguan stood on the deck of the Chang'an, took another look at the vague Yingtian City in the distance, and took the black box from Bai Yulian.
"It's not that I won't take you with me!"
"Xiaobai,"
Fu Xiaoguan handed the black box to Ning Siyan. He patted Bai Yulian on the shoulder and a smile appeared on his face.
"Back then, we walked out of the Xishan Villa in Linjiang together. We drank together and fought side by side. Although I call you Xiaobai, in my heart you have always been my brother, my Big Brother Bai!"
"Since the scouts have discovered that there are other countries thousands of miles away, the territory we have opened up here must be defended by a powerful army."
"You've spent three years rebuilding the Excalibur Army here. They need you to lead them, and only you can lead them!"
"Guard this place until I come back!"
Bai Yulian did not argue with Fu Xiaoguan this time. He was silent for a moment and nodded.
"I'll wait for you to come back!"
"Okay, when we get back, let's get drunk!"
"It's a deal!"
Bai Yulian turned around and got off the boat.
He waved to Fu Xiaoguan with his back to him, then stood on the dock, stopped, and still didn't look back.
The Chang'an sailed out of the port.
After a full half hour, Bai Yulian finally turned around, looked at the vague shadow of the Chang'an on the vast ocean, and murmured, "You must come back!"
"He will definitely come back!"
A voice sounded in Bai Yulian's ears. He turned around and saw Fu Xiaoguan's wives standing behind him.
Xu Xinyan stared at the sea in a daze.
She is the oldest among these sisters. She usually appears very calm, but now, she suddenly feels a little empty in her heart.
Memories flooded in like a tide, and she seemed to be back in Jinling.
That encounter changed her name and her life. From then on, she was no longer a bandit of the Moon Worshiping Cult. She became the daughter of the Minister of Rites and his woman.
As she walked along with him over the years, the mountains that once stood in front of him were pushed down by him, and the ravines that once lay in front of him were filled up by him. In her heart, he was the man who could do everything!
"Yes, he will definitely come back!"
The expression on Xu Xinyan's face became more and more determined. The sadness of parting was gone, and she became as calm as before.
"Let's go back and wait for him to come back!"
"Where did mother go?" Nangong Piaoxue asked in surprise.
Wu Ling'er lowered her head, pondered for a moment, and said, "Mother said...she had something to do and needed to go out. I think she might be worried about father."
The father they were talking about was of course the fat official Fu.
At this moment, Official Fu was on his way to the temple with the disciples of the Taoist temple and a thousand followers.
…
…
Wu Tianci and Di Er Meng were also walking on the vast grassland.
"There are no seasons here?"
The second dream was about picking a mushroom, and Wu Tianci said, "Yes, it will come soon."
Wu Tianci was stunned for a moment, "Is Qiu next?"
"No, what follows is darkness... a thousand years of darkness."
"…Why is this happening?"
“Because this is the polar region.”
"For the next thousand years, there will be no sunlight here, so naturally there will be no light, and of course it will be pitch black."
The Second Dream stood up, looked up at the sky, and a smile appeared on his face: "Yin and Yang must alternate, and day and night also have reincarnation."
"It's beautiful here during the cycle of day and night. Colorful lights appear in the sky, and all the flowers on the grassland bloom. Then... then the long night comes, and all the flowers and plants on the grassland wither."
Wu Tianci could hardly imagine what the scene was like; it was far beyond his comprehension.
"How could you survive the thousand-year night?"
Di Er Meng looked at Wu Tianci and said, "Go to sleep. When you wake up, it will be dawn."
A thousand years of sleep?
Is she really not human?
Yes, she is God!
These days, the second dream showed Wu Tianci his godly means.
For example, she can fly very high and stay in the air, which is completely different from the light skills outside.
For example, when she stretched out her hand, a flame would appear on her fingertips. She also never slept and seemed to never know what tiredness was.
So she possesses unimaginable abilities, and such abilities are exactly what he needs.
"Why doesn't the outside world experience a long night?"
"They said it was because of the difference in longitude and latitude."
The Second Dream didn't explain what longitude and latitude meant, and Wu Tianci didn't ask. Instead, he asked a more concerning question: "Daxia's army is very powerful. What on earth gives me the ability to fight them?"
"You'll know when you get to the base, but before that, you need to learn something."
"Martial arts?"
"No, it's the ability to control the mecha."
"Mecha? What is this?"
"Well... it's the most powerful divine weapon in the world. It possesses formidable defensive capabilities... For example, a full-strength attack from a Saint-level warrior wouldn't be able to break through its defenses. Furthermore, it possesses formidable combat abilities. You could think of it as an indestructible cockroach, capable of defeating ten thousand of the most powerful adversaries... You wouldn't understand even if I told you, but you'll understand once you see it."
Wu Tianci didn’t understand what an indestructible cockroach meant. He only knew that it was a powerful existence that surpassed the Great Xia civilization.
Di Er Meng took out a small booklet from his arms and threw it to Wu Tianci. "This contains the operating instructions. You must memorize everything in it as quickly as possible."
"After arriving at the base, I will teach you how to control it and use it."
Wu Tianci took the booklet and asked, "How about you take me to the base?"
The second dream raised its little head and looked up at the sky. "Don't worry, the long night will not come for another three months."
"During the long night, human vision will be greatly affected, but mechas won't. By then... you'll be able to destroy them more easily."
"Can I take that thing out with me?"
"Of course you can," a cunning light flashed in the Second Dream's eyes, "With a mecha, you can conquer any country by yourself."
Wu Tianci pondered for a moment and then opened the booklet.
The second dream continued to pick mushrooms, feeling happy but also a little worried.
Because that mecha was built by the creators of the past, it has existed for tens of thousands of years.
It is used to guard the base and its name is Guardian.
Its energy comes from the miniature nuclear reactor in its body. Although it has not really fought in the past ten thousand years, its energy decay is becoming more and more severe.
It can still be started and can still fight, but the fighting time probably won't be long.
It also can't leave the base because those people have placed a ban on its core.
But none of this matters. As long as those people can come to the base, as long as that one person can come to the base, that's enough.
She didn't like the thousand-year-long night because without sunlight she lost her source of energy.
She will fall into hibernation and sleep for a thousand years.
Until another long day comes.
