Chapter 546: Return to Heavenly City
Ye Ning was silent for a moment, his eyes were like water, reflecting the various experiences he had with demons for many years. Deep down, he already had a deep understanding of the power struggle between this heaven and earth. Jiang Kaixu's words seemed to touch his most sensitive nerves, recalling his negotiations with demon beasts in those years, as well as the lies and betrayals of the people around him. However, because of all this, he became more resilient and wiser.
During his time with the monsters, he dealt with countless frictions, disputes, and crises, and each successful mediation strengthened the tacit understanding and trust between him and the monsters. But he also knows that trust and goodwill alone are not enough to truly achieve peaceful coexistence. In the midst of this complex power, there is also a need for sufficient strength as a counterbalance.
Ye Ning took a deep breath, his eyes revealed firmness and confidence, and said to Jiang Kaixu, "All laws, all orders, are inseparable from the support of powerful forces. In this land, although there are all kinds of intrigues and schemes, the final decision is often in the hands of those who are really powerful. And I not only have the rare experience and wisdom in this land, but also the kind of ability that no one can match, which is my confidence and the greatest guarantee that I can coexist peacefully with demon beasts."
"Rules, built on the guarantee of strength, and I happen to have them!"
Ye Ning's words revealed absolute confidence in himself and a hopeful outlook for the future. He knew that as long as he had enough strength, he could avoid the tragedy that happened to his father and protect this peace and order. In the face of Ye Ning's statement, Jiang Kaixu didn't seem to be able to find any words to refute, so he could only sigh deeply.
Jiang Kaixu glanced at Ye Ning deeply, and his eyes revealed unconcealed appreciation and respect. He nodded, and a hint of sincere admiration floated in his heart: "You are much stronger than your father back then, and it is not a lie that no one can defeat you. Your pursuit of peaceful coexistence is full of firmness and conviction."
The corners of Jiang Kaixu's mouth raised slightly, and he continued with a smile: "I also want to see how you do it, maybe you can really do better than your father."
His words, although a little sarcastic, were also full of real expectations. After hearing this, Ye Ning did not fluctuate, and nodded calmly, as if accepting this challenge.
And Ye Ning's calmness is undoubtedly the best placebo for Jiang Kaixu. The tight strings inside him seemed to loosen at this moment, and a sense of pleasure and relief gradually filled his chest.
In Jiang Kaixu's heart, the fluctuation of gratitude is like the surface of a boat on the lake, which has been shallow and continuous. He knew that he had succeeded in fooling away the sensitive topic of Ye Ning's father's death, and had also won his temporary safety and tranquility. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the worries and fears in his heart, like the morning mist, gradually dissipated in this relief, leaving only a smile of anticipation and hope for the future. He knew that as long as he was careful, he could continue to live in this dangerous game.
In the fingers of the passage of time, hours rush by. The sunset was like blood, reflecting the surging river, and in the quiet evening, a warship sailing slowly sailed to the east bank. The hull of the ship rocks gently, and the traces of each expedition are engraved in the heart. This is a journey through danger and the unknown, Ye Ning successfully rescued the demon imprisoned leader - Jiang Kaixu from the Western Continent, which is full of monsters and dangers.
Every inch of the Western Continent is the territory of demon beasts, and darkness and dead silence are the eternity of human beings here. And the return of Ye Ning and Jiang Kaixu seems to be a ray of light in this dark night, breaking the silence of this continent. They finally set foot on the familiar and hopeful Eastern Continent, which is the home of humanity, a sunny and vibrant land.
Ye Ning and Jiang Kaixu carried Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen had been poisoned by Jiang Kaixu, although it was not life-threatening, although Jiang Kaixu awakened his will, his mind was still vague, as if he was still in a dream, and Jiang Kaixu did not plan to remove the poison for the time being.
The three of them took the most advanced high-speed train in the Eastern Continent, the Wind Wings, and went straight to the Celestial City. The sound of the high-speed train speeding against the rails in the night seems to tell the twists and turns of their adventure, both thrilling moments and mutual trust.
Under the stars, the high-speed train carried them towards the legendary city, the celestial city
The lights gradually brighten in the distance, which is their hope, the end of their adventure, and the beginning of another story.
As the high-speed train stopped steadily at the terminal of Tiancheng, Zhou Chen gradually woke up from his confusion. When he opened his eyes that seemed to contain stars, the first thing he saw was the pleased gazes of Ye Ning and Jiang Kaixu. The three exchanged a knowing smile and felt the warmth of reunion at this moment.
The door of the carriage slowly opened, and the moonlight covered the sky like water. The silvery moonlight illuminated everything as bright as day. In the afterglow of the moon, dozens of bats soared, their wings shimmering in the moonlight, reflecting the sparse stars in the night sky. The bats hover above the high-speed train, and they chirp softly, as if as a special welcome ritual.
Ye Ning raised his head and saw that the bats were neatly arranged, each bat had a bright ribbon tied to the top of their heads, and their eyes were shining. These bats, like messengers of the night, guide them out of the high-speed rail station and into this vibrant city.
Stepping out of the station, Jiang Kaixu and Zhou Chen found that Tiancheng was different at the moment. At night, the city is bustling with activity, and under the starry lights, all kinds of animals and humans coexist in harmony. On the sign of a tavern, a tanuki is fiddling with various wine bottles, and not far away, a group of night owls are leading visitors to the major night markets.
On the street, badgers, civets and kittens run a snack bar that busily serves up a variety of late-night snacks. In every corner of the city, you can see animals with strong night vision such as foxes and owls, and they shoulder the responsibility of guarding the city and ensuring that every corner is safe.
What surprised the two of them even more was that these animals didn't simply coexist with humans, they blended into every detail of the city. Whether it's helping humans do business, providing a variety of services, or participating together in the construction and development of cities, they all contribute to the prosperity of Devagi in unique ways.
The three of them walked down the street, both of them captivated by the wonder of the city, and their hearts were filled with anticipation and curiosity. The celestial city, as if pushing the harmonious relationship between humans and animals to a new peak, also shows a new possibility and future.
"This is the ideal country in my heart," Ye Ning began to explain with a smile, his eyes shining like stars. "Here, animals are no longer strange creatures in the eyes of people, but partners in life, friends and part of the city."
He looked around and nodded at the animals that had come alive in the night. He looked at a merry hanging civet, which was entwined around the vines of a certain building, deftly trimming the vines neatly; He looked at a flock of bats, their piercing eyes unmistakably locked onto their targets in the dark of night, holding the safety of the city in their hands; He looked at the laid-back lazy cats, who happily interacted with customers in the shop, creating a harmonious and friendly atmosphere.
"Based on the temperament and talent of each animal, I have found their own place for them." Ye Ning continued, "Some animals are sensitive and flexible beyond human ability, some animals have a sensitive sense of smell that is difficult for human technology to achieve, and some can do some things that are time-consuming and laborious for us because of their special habits."
"At first, people were unfamiliar and even resistant to animals joining their lives, after all, it was a completely new concept. But when they discovered the convenience that these animals bringed, they began to embrace this model of symbiosis side by side."
He looked down at Zhou Chen and Jiang Kaixu, who were also moved by the changes in Tiancheng: "In the past ten years, we have experienced many setbacks, as well as countless doubts and confusions. But today, I can proudly say that we have achieved this ideal, so that humans and animals can truly live in harmony."
Zhou Chen stared intently at the scene of the city, his eyes full of surprise and admiration. He saw the busy figures of all kinds of animals, the scenes of people smiling and communicating with animals, and the idealized society of harmonious coexistence.
His heart was filled with unspeakable excitement. Once upon a time, this dream of harmonious coexistence with animals was conceived in his heart, but he didn't expect that Ye Ning not only realized this dream in advance, but also created such a huge and spectacular
of the thriving city. The friendly merchants on the streets, the children playing happily, and even every building and every night sky are filled with an atmosphere of peaceful coexistence.
In Ye Ning's words, he saw Ye Ning's deep love and devout belief in the city. That kind of faith, just like the stars illuminating the night, was guiding Ye Ning, and it also began to slowly light up the flame in Zhou Chen's heart.
Walking on the bustling streets, Zhou Chen gently stroked the feathers of an owl and felt the breath of this city shared by animals and humans. He looks at the animals that are integrated into human life, and they are putting life together in their own way.
The excitement in his heart made Zhou Chen speechless for a while, he could only continue to enjoy the city scenery in front of him, and he was deeply moved by this atmosphere of harmony, equality and respect.
