Chapter 677 - 677 Seeing The Prosperous Era Again
677 Seeing The Prosperous Era Again
Yang Mi and the others had arrived at the first moment. When they saw Li Xiang’s blood-stained body, their eyes were filled with concern.
“Are you alright?”
“How is it? Did you manage to save the people?”
“Why are you covered in blood? Are you hurt?”
Li Xiang laughed and consoled them, “I’m the ruler of a country. How can I return empty-handed when I’ve attended to the matter personally? Let’s go. Follow me to the square.”
Li Xiang smiled indifferently. It was naturally better if fewer people knew that the Tower of Stars could store people.
They left the palace and arrived at the square outside.
The City of Dawn was bustling with activities in the early morning. Countless civilians had gathered in groups of three to five.
The Bounty Hunters were talking about what kind of missions to look for, and the other civilians were busy making a living or discussing what to eat for breakfast.
As the palace door opened at that moment, many gazes naturally gathered.
Shua!
With a wave of his hand, the huge silvery-white Void Divine Gate appeared in the square, shining with divine light.
“Come out. You’re all safe!” His voice echoed in the Tower of Stars.
“Is it safe now? Let’s go and take a look!”
In the tower’s space, many scholars who were resting immediately woke up from their sleep after hearing Li Xiang’s voice. The first thing they saw was the huge Void Divine Gate opening again.
Qi Jiguang looked excited and was the first to step through the door.
Shua!
With a flash of light, he appeared in the square of the City of Dawn.
“Where is this place? There are so many people. Is this a city? So many buildings and the buildings are so tall! What a bustling city! The mental state of the people here is unprecedented. Could this be the Kingdom of Dawn?”
Qi Jiguang’s eyes swept around quickly, and he immediately saw the bustling scene in the City of Dawn, especially the aura emitted by the civilians. He could clearly feel that the city was full of vitality and was genuinely prosperous.
He guessed that it might be the Kingdom of Dawn.
That scene was something that he had never seen in his original world. The most significant difference was the change in their mental state.
Their auras were utterly different.
“What is this place? Are we in the human world? This is a city? Have we finally returned to human society?”
“This square, this ground, this building. It’s just mythical. There’s not even a single hatchet. This is good fortune. It’s really good fortune. It’s a creation of the heavens.” Some Mohism disciples looked at the surrounding buildings, especially the rare treasure buildings like the Scripture Library. Their eyes began to shine, wishing they could jump on it immediately. The eagerness and passion in their eyes reflected their excitement.
“So many people, what a big city. Why don’t I see any city walls, or is this city just too big? I can’t even see the end of it. How is this possible? Are we back to human society? This feeling is simply too comfortable!”
“I smell a meat bun. It’s so fragrant. I bet it’s a meat bun, and the filling is made from the meat of fierce beasts. God knows how long it’s been since I’ve smelled such a fragrant meat bun.”
“The Kingdom of Dawn. Is this the Kingdom of Dawn? Isn’t this a chaotic world? I can’t believe our Human race has such a paradise. This is simply unbelievable!”
The scholars stepped out of the Void Divine Gate one after the other.
As soon as they came out, the things and scenes in front of them made them, who were isolated from the world, feel the aura of human civilization again.
That long-lost feeling made many people want to burst into tears.
In an instant, many people unconsciously had completely different feelings for the city in front of them.
“People will always have an inexplicable feeling and impression of the things they see at first sight. Whether it is a human or an animal, it is the same. A newborn puppy will feel close to the first person it sees, and a bird will also feel close to the first figure it sees when it opens its eyes. After being sealed off for a long time and returning to the human world, the first city they see will have an unusual place in their hearts.”
When Li Xiang saw that, he secretly nodded in his heart. That was what he wanted to see.
From the beginning, when he decided to bring the scholars of Jixia Academy away, he had already made preparations. He didn’t teleport them back directly but sent them into the Tower of Stars instead and didn’t give them any chance to come into contact with the outside world. He returned to the Kingdom of Dawn at the fastest speed possible, only releasing them in the Kingdom of Dawn. After they left Jixia Academy and calmed down, the first city they saw was the City of Dawn.
The new world they came into contact with started with the City of Dawn.
No matter who it was, such a unique feeling would leave an indelible impression.
Even if he couldn’t retain all of them, he would at least have left a near-perfect impression in their hearts. No matter what, it was a sure win. It was like the first lifeform an animal saw. As long as it recognized its master, it was almost impossible for it to betray him.
The first thing a person saw when he was born was his mother. And the closeness people had for their mothers was also rooted in their souls and bloodlines, which was impossible to erase.
Many people who had been prepared to face an extremely dilapidated scene after returning to the human world thought they might see dilapidated buildings, people with barely enough clothes to cover their bodies, and a situation where they had no food or clothes to eat.
After all, in their opinions, the world had undergone a fundamental change.
The myriad worlds had fused, and countless races had appeared in this world simultaneously, living together with the Human race.
Among them, the Human race was definitely the weakest in terms of physique, and they had been living in suffering.
During their free time, the scholars of Jixia Academy would discuss the current situation of the Human race. After various deductions, the final result was that the Human race would definitely encounter unimaginable disasters in the chaotic world.
Countless civilians would die tragic deaths, and some might even become food and prey for the foreign races and fierce beasts.
Humans would fall from the top of the food chain to the bottom.
In that process, the number of people who could survive could be said to be less than one in a thousand, less than one in ten thousand. Death would always accompany humans.
Even if they wanted to regain their footing and establish a civilization that belonged to the Human race, it was not something that could be achieved overnight.
But what was going on now?
The city was in good condition, the streets were smooth and flat, and the civilians were constantly moving. There were even hawkers who brought their own products out to sell.
All kinds of breakfast stalls could be seen everywhere, and one could clearly smell the alluring fragrance in the air.
It had been more than a year since they last felt the aura of civilization. For some reason, many people felt like crying.
“Is this the Kingdom of Dawn that Castellan Li established? It’s unbelievable. I feel that it’s even more prosperous than the capital cities I’ve seen before. Even the Imperial Capital might not have so many civilians in such a huge city. Aren’t we in a chaotic world? Why do I feel like I’m seeing a prosperous era!” Many people were dumbfounded.
