When the screen dims, it seems that the whole world becomes silent and clear.
The tea swayed slightly.
His Majesty lay on the recliner again, silently looking at the time, and waiting extremely patiently.
The recliner creaked and rocked in a consistent rhythm.
His breathing slowed down, his heartbeat slowed down, his whole body and mind completely relaxed, and he felt the increasingly quiet and clear world around him. His Majesty remained motionless, like a dead thing.
In the absolute silence, memories that had become a little blurry due to too long time were flowing through my mind scene by scene.
He is Jiang Shangyu.
He has the heart of a king and exquisite bones. In terms of martial arts talent, he is not inferior to Wang Shengxiao, not inferior to Li Tianlan, not inferior to anyone else's top genius.
No matter in the past or now, in the vast Central Continent, or even the entire dark world, there are only two young people of the young generation who can be seen by him.
Li Tianlan, Wang Shengxiao.
The former carries the ruined family on his back and moves forward in frustration. If he doesn't advance, he will die.
The latter carries the glorious family on his back and is careful to retreat if he does not advance.
Many, many years ago, when Jiang Shangyu first heard the story of these two people, he had only one thought in his heart.
It's so tiring to live like this.
Whether it's Li Tianlan or Jiang Shangyu.
It's so tiring to live like them.
It was like a transformation from human to inhuman, with countless auras, everyone's attention, a bumpy road ahead, a dangerous future, turbulent, magnificent, and stormy waves...
Being born as a human seems to be the starting point.
Standing at the starting point, both Li Tianlan and Wang Shengxiao are born with the responsibility of moving forward.
So they stride forward on their own path, overcoming everything and crushing everything.
Failure becomes a withered bone on the road, from human to ghost.
Success, reaching the top with brilliance, from man to god.
The losers become stories and lessons, and the winners become beliefs and symbols.
They can't stay where they started.
From the very beginning when they are born as human beings, their life direction has been determined.
Jiang Shangyu doesn't like this kind of life.
He has always thought that he is a person with no ambitions, and he has no desire to pursue things that he should not get. He likes a quiet and warm life, a good family background, and a status that will not be ignored or taken too seriously. All these things he likes
They were all very satisfied. If there were no accidents, he felt that he could guard the Jiang family and Beijiang for the rest of his life.
Gentle, calm and without edge.
This is the rain on the river when I was a child.
He was twenty-two years old when he entered Deep Sea Academy, and his personality remained the same as when he was a teenager.
He did not establish his own power in the academy, and rarely fought against others. This was also because of the academy's tasks. He never hurt his harmony and was always kind to others. Others knew that he was very strong, so no one wanted to provoke him, and he did not provoke others.
Mild-tempered, easy to get along with, low-key but powerful.
During the three years in Deep Sea Academy, he had friends all over the academy, and even Sky Academy had many of his friends.
This includes Li Tianlan.
It may not be appropriate to say they are friends.
He and Li Tianlan had never been close to each other, but they did get along quite well. Their friendship seemed to be limited to just sitting together and chatting.
At that time, Li Tianlan was proud and arrogant. After three years at Sky Academy, the other party could be said to have truly shown his talents. The life of holding the little princess of Beihai on his left and the daughter of the Dongcheng family on his right could be said to be the pinnacle of everyone's dream.
After the first academic year of the two colleges ended, Wang Tianzong went to Li's camp in person to propose marriage, promising that Wang Yuetong would marry Li Tianlan and that their first child would be named Li.
I don't know if it was because of guilt or other reasons that Li Honghe joined the Wang family in Beihai. Li left the camp in the second year of the two colleges and took root in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
At the beginning of the third year, Li Tianlan, who had rebuilt, had accumulated a lot of experience, and within three months after entering the Thunder Realm, he reached the peak of the Thunder Realm, and defeated Gu Hanshan, the young master of Kunlun City, in forty-five seconds.
Li Tianlan was twenty-two years old that year. It could be said that he was
The youngest master of the Thunder Realm in the entire dark world in a hundred years.
From that moment on, Gu Hanshan completely fell out of the ranks of top geniuses.
People's nickname for him and Wang Shengxiao as young geniuses has become a thing of the past.
That year, Wang Shengxiao successfully broke through and entered the peak of the Thunder Realm.
Li Tianlan, Wang Shengxiao.
The twin stars of the North Sea complement each other, and their names resound throughout the dark world.
Jiang Shangyu, who had a loose temper, did not alienate Li Tianlan at that time, but he never approached Li Tianlan deliberately. At that time, he had always thought about his Jiang family and Beijiang, and wanted to live his life quietly with everything he owned.
The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water.
He didn't know if he and Li Tianlan were gentlemen, but the friendship between them was really as dull as water.
If Li Tianlan hadn't suddenly and violently fallen out with the Beihai Wang family in the end, their friendship might have lasted a lifetime, and when they got older, they might have become true friends or even confidants.
But there are no ifs in the world.
The year he joined the Wang family in Beihai, Li Tianlan was twenty years old.
The year he parted ways with Beihai, Li Tianlan was twenty-six years old.
The six-year honeymoon period ended completely without anyone reacting.
At that time, there was no mention of the North Sea Twin Stars in the dark world.
Replaced by Beihai Shuangwudi.
Wang Tianzong, Li Tianlan.
Jiang Shangyu is still not completely sure about Li Tianlan's condition at that time, but what is certain is that Li Tianlan's condition when he escaped from Beihai was very similar to Li Tianlan's current condition.
None of them have entered the invincible state.
But the actual combat effectiveness is far beyond the peak invincibility.
So there were two majesties in Beihai at that time.
This may be a foreshadowing.
No one knew the inside story of the breakup between the two parties at the time, and after it happened, there was no need to know.
Maybe it’s because he’s uneasy about Li Tianlan growing up too fast.
Perhaps it was because Li Tianlan doted on the ancient beauty that he forcibly snatched from Kunlun City that the Wang family in Beihai was dissatisfied.
Maybe Li Tianlan had other ideas.
But the trigger of everything is the children.
The child of Wang Yuetong and Li Tianlan.
When she was twenty-five years old, Wang Yuetong was six months pregnant, and one day she suddenly went to the hospital.
The child is gone.
Li Tianlan remained silent for a whole year, silently accompanying Wang Yuetong, and then left Emperor Bingshan alone the next year.
The huge contradiction completely erupted in a shocking way.
The situation is chaotic.
Jiang Shangyu originally wanted to stay out of the matter, but his father Jiang Shan already felt that the time was ripe and wanted to take a step further.
As a result, Northern Xinjiang became a bargaining chip for Jiangshan and was involved in chaos.
After leaving Beihai and needing to find a new headquarters for the Eastern Palace, Li Tianlan naturally set his sights on Northern Xinjiang, which is vast, sparsely populated and vast in resources.
He did not choose to stay in the Central Plains, nor in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
At that time, he just said something casually and plainly at the council meeting of Hidden Dragon Sea.
"I want Northern Xinjiang."
No discussion, no testing, just a simple and direct notification.
It's not that the person involved couldn't imagine how capable Li Tianlan was at that time, the strength and majesty were simply irresistible.
Li Tianlan said he wanted Northern Xinjiang.
The academic group is silent, the Prince Group is silent, the special warfare group that has almost no presence is silent, the northern group is silent, and the southeast group is silent.
Except for the wealthy groups that have expressed support, all five major groups seem to have acquiesced to this fact.
It was not until more than a year later that Jiang Shangyu learned through special channels that the Sword Emperor, who had been invincible for decades, lost to the 26-year-old Li Tianlan on the night he left the Imperial Army Mountain.
This is also the main reason for the silence of the Southeast Group.
What Li Tianlan wants is Northern Xinjiang.
The Jiang family, Jiang Shangyu, other people, other forces...
plum
Tianlan didn't even look at it. He did have the qualifications to be arrogant. All the resistance of the Jiang family was directly destroyed in the East Palace. The Northern Xinjiang provincial government was directly reorganized. The direction of the parliament changed. The military retreated. Jiang
The family's industry suffered a fatal blow overnight.
Jiang Shangyu approached Li Tianlan.
He said that he just wanted to guard Beijiang and the Jiang family.
Li Tianlan looked at him for a long time.
"The Jiang family is yours, but Northern Xinjiang is not yours."
This is his answer.
The Jiang family persisted in Northern Xinjiang for more than a year. The Eastern Palace continued to develop in Northern Xinjiang, and the Jiang family almost became a joke.
Twenty-eight years old.
Li Tianlan, who had not entered the invincible realm, broke through again.
Supreme.
Jiangshan, who was completely at the end of his rope, could only find Li Tianlan to beg for mercy.
Li Tianlan let go of the Jiang family, just like letting go of an ant.
He also took something casually.
He took away the heart of Jiangshan.
The memory is already a little blurry.
Jiang Shangyu didn't know what Jiangshan had done in more than a year to make a comeback and offend Li Tianlan. It actually didn't matter. Right and wrong were meaningless.
Jiang Shangyu only knew that he was guarding the fragmented Jiang family, watching countless so-called superpowers in the dark world groveling in front of the East Palace, seeing Kunlun City falling apart bit by bit, watching the influence of the Beihai Wang family decline, watching the Beihai Wang family
In order to win over Gu Xingyun again, he watched Li Tianlan fall.
Half a year after Tianjiao's death, he was forced to go to Beihai to face the completely crazy woman and the completely crazy sword.
The sword light rises with the wind, and the poison follows it like a shadow.
He fell into darkness, and when he opened his eyes, he returned to his childhood.
The scars clearly recorded what happened.
Right and wrong really don't matter anymore, and I can't tell the difference.
Jiang Shangyu became His Majesty.
He still doesn't have much ambition in this life, but he has obsession.
Li Tianlan owes the Jiang family a heart.
He wants to take it back.
He wanted to establish a dynasty that could completely destroy the Eastern Palace from the front.
In that era when he was extremely powerless, under the glory of the Eastern Palace Dynasty, even those in the invincible realm had to bow down to the thunderous realm of the Eastern Palace.
Invincible at the pinnacle? Super power? Top strong man? As humble as dust, like ants, like wild dogs, worthless and not worth mentioning.
Jiang Shangyu doesn't want to experience such an era.
He doesn't want to be a ghost or a dog.
He just wants to live like a human being.
A bell rang in the dark living room.
The bell echoed slowly and rang ten times in succession.
Twenty-two o'clock at night.
Jiang Shangyu slowly moved his body.
Time is passing.
Tick tock tick.
Jiang Shangyu stood up and drank the tea beside him.
He closed his eyes and felt every part of his body, every joint, every muscle, and even every cell.
He stood there, quietly, but all the power in his body was active and surging like never before.
The darkness in the living room grew deeper, swallowing up the light and covering up everything.
Twenty-two fifteen.
He opened his eyes.
In the dark room, the world in front of me became extremely clear.
The heart is beating slowly.
At a place not too far away from Xuanyuan City, another weak heartbeat completely overlapped with his.
The ultimate darkness slowly gathered in the living room.
Jiang Shangyu's body disappeared bit by bit, quietly.
An extremely violent heartbeat suddenly sounded in the empty living room, like thunder.
The darkness spread out, rushed out of the living room, rushed out of the courtyard, rolled through the sky, covered the stars, and was boundless.
That is the purest realm of the dark world in the past hundred years.
