Jiang Wang continued forward, and slowly, he arrived at the alleyway where he had first watched fireworks with Aunt Li Xue...
Although it was almost time for the fireworks.
But the place is no longer as lively as it used to be.
There were only a handful of people and a mother with two children...
Jiang Wangdi stood at the entrance of the alley, his head slightly raised as he looked up at the sky...
Memories kept playing in my mind...
Not long after.
When a bright light snaked its way into the sky.
Then.
"Bang!"
Colorful fireworks exploded in the sky...
The child kept exclaiming in surprise.
The mother beside them looked up at the sky with some weariness, and after a short while, she put her hands together as if in prayer.
The child who had been shouting just moments before stopped playing and, imitating his mother, put his hands together in a prayer-like gesture...
Further away, two elderly men with gray hair were also praying with their hands clasped together, facing the fireworks...
...
The war relentlessly took away Li Xueyi's life, and it also took away the families of countless ordinary people...
Fireworks kept bursting in the sky.
Jiang Wang's face was illuminated with color.
But in his eyes, it was still black and white...
And at that very moment.
A footstep sounded slowly behind Jiang Wang.
Zhou Gan stood hunched over beside Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang was stunned when he saw Zhou Gan's appearance.
The last time I saw Zhou Gan, I felt that he was always full of energy and a leader with ideals and ambitions.
But now, looking at him, he appears somewhat aged. Ever since Zhou Gan slashed him with that sword and Li Xueyi had that accident, his back seems to have become quite hunched.
At this moment, Zhou Gan was also watching the fireworks in the sky.
A moment later.
Fireworks fade so quickly...
Zhou Gan felt a pang of emotion, remembering how he too had once been a vibrant young man.
But now, he has become an old man with white hair and a somewhat hunched back...
Jiang Wang listened to Zhou Gan's remarks without saying anything.
At this moment, Zhou Gan slowly lowered his head and took out several items from his pocket...
"Shadows are a part of life, and I hope you can get through them."
With that, he placed the items in Jiang Wang's hands and turned to leave.
Jiang Wang looked at the letters and the terminal, and in an instant, he knew who owned them...
[To my beloved disciple, Jiang Wang.]
Hehe, Little Jiang Wang~ Have you missed your master lately~
You'd better think it over, or I'll beat you to death!
Forget it, I probably can't beat you.
Oh, by the way, let me tell you, I've been really amazing lately...
【I...】
...
Jiang Wang...when are you coming back...?
My master has been missing you a little bit lately...
...
When Jiang Wang read the letter, the sadness that had been so painstakingly contained within her emotions surged forth like a flood, instantly overwhelming her feigned calm and composure...
Not only that...
Aside from those letters...
There's also the even more deadly terminal video...
When she saw the various videos that Aunt Li Xue had recorded on the terminal.
When Jiang Wang saw the video of Aunt Li Xue again, which showed her being both lively and adorable.
A feeling of suffocation instantly welled up in Jiang Wang's heart...
...
As the fireworks gradually faded into the night.
In the darkness, only Jiang Wang remained...
Not far away, Zhou Gan looked at Jiang Wang's figure in the night and slowly shook his head.
In the dark alley, an old man slowly walked back the way he came.
Leviathan.
Anna immediately sensed the overwhelming emotional turmoil within the Overlord...
...
The next day.
When Jiang Wang reappeared on Leviathan, Anna clearly sensed that the Overlord was different.
Although Jiang Wang still appeared somewhat lifeless, she could clearly sense his suppressed anger and a multitude of other emotions...
These were emotions that Jiang Wang had never shown since Aunt Li Xue's incident...
Just as Anna was rejoicing over the changes that were being dominated by the ruler.
Zhou Gan brought another message to the Zerg.
[A massive invasion of the Star Alliance's borders by all races.]
When Anna saw the message, she was immediately delighted.
It's like a pillow being delivered just when you're about to fall asleep.
Double happiness!
Then she looked intently at Jiang Wang.
This time, Jiang Wang returned to his usual self, and with a wave of his hand, he set off towards the territory of the myriad races!
As the Zerg warships departed.
The weather wasn't very good today, and the warships quickly disappeared into the clouds.
Zhou Gan stared blankly at the disappearing warship, lost in thought...
At this moment, Wang Tianfeng, who had not shown himself until now, slowly appeared from behind him.
The hair, which was originally mostly black, had turned completely white.
Wang Tianfeng also exuded a decadent aura.
"Why didn't you tell Jiang Wang about the invasion of the myriad races immediately, but instead kept it hidden for the past few days?"
"Are you trying to comfort Jiang Wang, or do you want to use Aunt Xue's remaining value to add leverage to Jiang Wang's conflict with the myriad races?"
Despite the barbed words in Wang Tianfeng's speech, Zhou Gan was not angry.
"I think so."
"After all, the Star Alliance has already lost Aunt Xue, they can't afford to lose Jiang Wang as well, can they?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Tianfeng immediately scoffed.
"Heh, you don't mean you're planning to make Jiang Wang your successor, do you?"
"You underestimate him."
"He won't be content to be your successor. Kaiyuan is too small. He wants to go to the world of Qian Duoduo."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Gan slowly raised his head and said.
A moment later.
"Yeah, he won't be the Star Alliance's successor..."
"But he is able to usher in a new era for the Star Alliance."
Looking at Zhou Gan's appearance, Wang Tianfeng felt both hatred and respect.
He hated Zhou Gan for bringing Aunt Li Xue along.
Why would someone who hates Zhou Gan exploit Li Xueyi's remaining value?
She hated herself for trusting Zhou Gan so much.
...
But at the same time, he also respected Zhou Gan.
He admired Zhou Gan's decisiveness and fearlessness when facing the emperor.
He respected Zhou Gan's many years of dedication to Starlink.
He respected Zhou Gan for planning for Starlink at this time...
"Smack..."
A drop of water falls...
Then comes the next drop...
Soon, raindrops fell on the earth like scattered beads.
Many people were running in the pouring rain.
But Zhou Gan remained standing firm.
His clothes were soaked through by the rain.
It soaked through his hair.
It wet his face.
Raindrops slid down his face.
I don't know how much time passed.
Zhou Gan slowly turned around.
He walked hunched over like that towards the Star Alliance Academy's office building.
There was no one there, and no sword that was always carried at his waist.
His friends and his departure.
His sword even broke in that battle...
This moment.
He is not the leader of Star Alliance.
He was not a powerful figure in the Kaiyuan world.
He was just an old man nearing the end of his mission.
A lonely man who has lost everything.
