328 Ten Years Later (Finale)

Previous Chapter

Ten years later, the modern world, London.

Liang En stood in the lecture hall of Cambridge University, explaining to the hundreds of scholars listening to the lecture his archaeological discovery of the new city of Ekhnatun that he had found on the banks of the Nile River in Egypt half a month ago.

It's been a full decade since he won the Two Realms, and with the power he gained from the other world, Liang has become a world-class archaeologist and world-renowned jeweller on this side of the modern world.

A while ago, Liang En and his lamp god doubles took turns to lead a large-scale scientific expedition to the city established by the legendary pharaoh, and obtained a series of new discoveries from it.

Of course, this was done with the help of a large amount of extraordinary power, after all, compared to all kinds of high-tech equipment in the modern world, Liang En, as a cultivator, was much stronger in this regard.

To take the simplest example, if you want to know the hidden ruins buried under countless earth, you can use the means of excavation to sample and analyze, or you can use ground penetrating radar to search.

Either way, the speed of the expedition is slow and the accuracy is not high, so it may not be difficult to find the remains of a large building, but it is not so easy to find small things.

That's why a lot of important archaeological work often lasts for years: it's not that people don't want to speed up, it's because the objective conditions can't be accelerated in the first place.

In this case, Liang En's extraordinary power can naturally play a huge role in this kind of ruin excavation work, for example, he can know the details of the underground situation with a little perception.

As a result, as long as he has been involved in the excavation work, he has never returned empty-handed, and has always been able to find important discoveries that affect the existing record.

This time, for example, he found a stele that had been smashed into dozens of pieces and scattered throughout the ruins, with part of the famous pharaoh's edict on the Reformation carved on it.

And in the case of this edict, scholars were able to confirm some details of that reform, and every detail was information worthy of being recorded and filling in the gaps in history.

After all, after the death of the pharaoh, all his reforms were abolished, and even his own existence was erased from history, so there was very little information left, and any new discovery was worth writing about, and this is the reason for this academic exchange meeting.

"—That's all the archaeological discoveries, thank you." Finally, Liang ended the speech to the cheers of everyone, and then left with Isabella, who had been waiting there, after answering a few questions.

"Lord, how is the situation?" As she drove away from campus, Isabella turned her head and asked Liang En, who was sitting in the passenger seat, with a concerned expression.

"Everything went very well, after all, what was discovered this time fills in many gaps in history. So most people recognize these things very much. Liang En said with a smile.

For archaeologists, a new, historical discovery is the highest status, so Liang En was naturally very welcomed after coming here with new archaeological discoveries this time, and was not questioned.

"So what is the lord going to do next?" After stopping at the red light, Isabella held the steering wheel and turned to Liang En and said, "Are you going to go to another world?" ”

"Yes, after all, this is the day when the Xinzhou-Beihai Propaganda Mission was established." Liang En nodded seriously, "After all, it's been ten years, and I've finally waited for this day." ”

Since acquiring land more than ten years ago due to various opportunities, Liang En has begun to build his own territory with all his might, and at the same time bring a lot of knowledge and materials from the modern world to the ancient world.

With the transfer of these knowledge and materials, the entire Great Song Dynasty embarked on the road of rapid development of science and technology, and in just ten years, the accumulation of technology and talents in the Great Song Dynasty crossed that line and reached a level equivalent to the first industrial revolution in the modern world.

Thanks to technological advances, immigration has become more and more efficient, so ten years later, Liang's territory has nearly 700,000 people.

Of these, 250,000 live on the North Sea Island, while the remaining 450,000 live in the New World, and more than 200,000 of these people are native, but they have all been assimilated by Liang and his family.

However, even so, the territory was still vast and sparsely populated, but fortunately, the number was enough for the imperial court to recognize Liang En's success in the development of the territory, and to give him the status of a consolation envoy.

That night, Liang said goodbye to Isabella and returned to the ancient world. And he returned with three tons of fireworks.

"How's the ceremony going?" After meeting Ao Lei and exchanging a few words, Liang En quickly began to ask about the preparations for the upcoming ceremony.

His current location is Dongning City, built on the site of the barbarian city-state that was destroyed ten years ago, and now there are about 30,000 people, and it is also the second largest city in the New World for the Chinese people.

Unlike a decade ago, the walled city is now covered with buildings, and the factories in the few satellite towns outside the city are constantly spraying white smoke vapor through chimneys.

"Everything is going very well, the people and guests of the court have already been arranged, and I think tomorrow's ceremony will definitely go very smoothly." Watching a group of artillerymen carefully put the fireworks prepared by Liang En into the warehouse, Ao Lei said proudly.

"We have been preparing for this matter for more than a month, and we have considered all kinds of things, and even made a plan for possible problems, so I believe that there will be no major problems in the future."

After a peaceful night, Liang En and the others ushered in a new canonization ceremony, but unlike the previous canonization ceremony, this canonization ceremony was obviously much more complicated.

On the altar that had been built in advance, officials from the Imperial Court Rites Department read out the holy decree of canonizing Liang En as the envoy of the New Continent - Beihai and hereditary replacement, and then took out an axe and a jade gui and handed them to Liang En.

This is an ancient Chinese tradition, in which the axe represents the right to give Liang En the right to conquer, and the jade gui represents Liang En's right to rule over the land.

In addition, Liang En was also given today with the weight placed under the altar and several elaborate flags made with songs.

Since Qin Shi Huang unified China, this ancient event has almost never been held, and it was not until the Great Song Dynasty Sanxing and overseas expansion began to dig up the old paper pile again.

As the ritual progressed, a thick and distant aura appeared above the altar, and people could faintly see countless mountains, rivers, and plains.

This is the resonance that occurred after the canonization ceremony triggered the canonized land, and as the resonance gradually ended, Liang En also ended the entire canonization ceremony.

From now on, Liang En became the true owner of this land.

After the ceremony, a series of festivities began in the city, culminating in the night, when a large number of fireworks from the modern world lit up the sky, making it brighter than ever.

"It was a great day, everything looked like a dream." Looking at the scene in front of her and listening to everyone's cheers, Ao Lei gently leaned on Liang En's shoulder and whispered.

"If it's a dream, I hope I'll never wake up from a sweet dream."

"Don't worry, if it's a dream, it's going to go on forever." Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Liang En replied in a low voice, as if he was saying to Ao Lei, and as if he was saying to himself.

"I believe—"
