Year 41 of the Human Calendar - The Kingdom-state of Ziyun - In front of the statue of the goddesses of life and peace
[LIBERATION OF THE CONTINENT, MIND EXPERIENCE OBTAINED]
After the fall of the four jade cities, the remaining five cities were smaller and weaker.
It only took two and a half years to free them.
[It was a little bit anticlimactic]
The remaining hostile forces that were concentrated in the last city were unable to fight us as equals and were exterminated.
[But I guess I should be happy about it]
Using the new method of recruitment, in addition to the bronze rank cultivators some silver rank cultivators give up their cultivations. And even two of gold rank!
"Master Hero! Lets train!" Mai
Behind of the kneeling me, my younger disciple spoke to me.
"Please look after me as always" Linjian
I get up after saying goodbye to them and I turn to face Mai.
"Sorry, did I interrupt you?" Mai
"Don't worry about it, lets go outside the walls and start the training" Linjian
It can be a bit destructive.
"Yes!" Mai
After the liberation of the continent, Mai reached the level 80. The Elemental Monster aren't enough to fight her anymore, Only a mannequin with a Earth Knight armor is capable of giving her experience, and that is only if she doesn't use her Full Hero Revelation.
[Her level cap isn't even close]
(The future is in good hands)
I smile inside my open helmet as we leave to the West Gate.
-Year 42 of the Human Calendar-
The education of everyone on the continent is complete.
[Now is the time to choose the other two powers of this settlement]
The head of laws makers and the head of judges that we had until now were chosen in the Holy Land of Xue, now is the time to become completely independent of them.
[Will you continue to be King?]
(Yes, I need to be sure that there aren't any cultivator left on this continent)
And when I am sure of it, then...
...
...
A campaign has begun to destroy all the Dantians.
According to Shaolan's research, the Dantians dissolve when exposed to a large amount of Ether for about two months. So in each district, disposal tanks have been built for the prisons of Remnants of Souls.
"Please notify the nearest authorities of any Demon Cores you find, let's clean this world together!" Linjian
Atop a platform in front of the statue of the goddesses, I take the anniversary of the liberation of the continent to remind everyone about it.
...
...
"Are you sure you don't want to participate?" Linjian
Today is the day of the auditions for the star singer of the new year, but Mai does not want to compete.
"I am sure" Mai
She talks while fixing her left Fingerless glove.
"I like to sing, but this place needs a singer of peace like mom. I prefer to continue my training" Mai
[She's a little bit too wild for the role]
"Then let's continue" Linjian
-Year 43 of the Human Calendar-
On a platform in front of the statue of the goddesses of life and peace, I stand together with the new elected king.
"Today I, Linjian Campbell, proudly end my eight-years mandate to pass this duty on to the person who will continue with the will of the residents of this land"
The crowd cheers.
"Do you swear in the name of the goddesses to protect the life and peace of every person on this kingdom?"
I look into the eyes of this man.
"I, Usain Mandela, swear it"
The crowd cheers again.
"From now on you are the highest representative of the inhabitants of this land, from now on you are the second king the Kingdom-state of Ziyun!" Linjian
This settlement is still young, it needs someone to protect it and I am sure that Usain will be able to do it.
...
...
-Airport-
The Antonov is ready to fly again.
[We need to resupply at the Holy land]
The Furukawa clothes are starting to lose their enchantment.
"Master..." Usain
"?" Linjian
Before jumping on board, Usain talks to me.
"Thanks" Usain
"About what?" Linjian
"About everything, I never actually said these words to you" Usain
"...I also need to thank you" Linjian
"?" Usain
His face shows confusion.
"But, I don't remember doing something?" Usain
"Humans live for and because their peers exist, you may not have realized it, but you did a lot for me to be thankful" Linjian
Approaching him, I keep talking.
"Be it a commander, a conversation partner, or a good parent to your children. You always helped me and my ideal for the future" Linjian
My arms embrace him.
"Take care of yourself, okay?" Linjian
I hear a drop fall on my shoulder.
"I'll... be the best king that I can be" Usain
"Goodbye Shaolan" Linjian
"Goodbye Linjian" Shaolan
"Goodbye Twins" Linjian
"Goodbye First king" Joanna and Vivi
"Goodbye Usain" Linjian
I take a distance from him.
"Goodbye..." Usain
And I jump to the ship.
"...father" Usain
...
"..." Mai
Mai got a little melancholic, so she started walking towards the center of the ship.
[Goodbyes are always hard]
(...They really are)
