The Night Emperor's words carried a profound meaning, suggesting that there was a significant reason behind the human race's struggle.

After the Night Emperor finished speaking, he left.

His figure transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the horizon.

Jiang Yu shook his head; he was too lazy to think about these things right now.

The continuous battles had exhausted him, and all he wanted to do was put everything down and get some rest.

……

A few days later, the battlefield was finally cleared.

The piled-up wreckage was removed, the blood-stained land was renovated, and the former battlefield returned to a superficial calm.

Jiang Yu no longer cared about the exact number of kills.

Behind those cold, hard numbers are countless lost lives; no amount of statistics can change the cruelty of war.

He only learned from Lin Hong's report that the resources plundered from the enemy this time were quite substantial.

The warehouse was filled with all kinds of energy crystals and rare ores, and the transport ships shuttled back and forth for three whole days to move them.

Of course, it's still not a lot, at least not enough for all human lords to upgrade their territories.

The war among all races was extremely costly, and this amount of resources was merely a drop in the ocean for the entire human race.

But it's enough to upgrade his territory.

The amount of resources is just enough to meet the upgrade requirements.

The human kings, such as King Jin and King Zhou, were not in a hurry. They decided to let Jiang Yu upgrade his territory first, because the birth of a new titled lord would be of greater significance.

Humanity needs stronger combat power to meet future challenges, and Jiang Yu's potential is evident to all.

Jiang Yu, on the other hand, left Lin Hong, Huang Zhiyuan, and others to be in charge of the territory's development, and didn't want to get involved in anything himself.

He relinquished the heavy responsibility of command and just wanted to take a break and get away from the hustle and bustle of the battlefield.

He would occasionally flip through "The King of Men's Manual," but he could never get into it.

The pages slipped through my fingers, but the words failed to enter my mind; once clear insights became blurred.

Although, in theory, his understanding of time was still somewhat lacking, for the first time in history, he was stuck here, unable to comprehend anything from the book.

The bottleneck to upgrading was like an invisible wall, blocking his way and preventing him from moving forward.

Jiang Yu didn't know why this was happening. Could it be that his mindset had changed along the way?

From his initial passionate fighting to his current exhaustion and confusion, the baptism of war has given him a different perspective on many things.

He decided to go out for a walk.

Leaving the base camp, we ventured deeper into the territory.

He needs a change of scenery to sort out his chaotic thoughts.

Upon reflection, he realized that he hadn't strolled around the territory in a long time.

Busy with the war, he was always rushing from one battlefield to another, neglecting the scenery around him.

It must be said that a territory at level 29 already has a very high level of civilization.

Skyscrapers stand tall, hovercars traverse the sky, and energy shields envelop the entire city, showcasing the power of human technology.

Although human-specific science and technology do not play a significant role in the multiverse battlefield, they are sufficient for defending territory.

Defensive turrets are hidden in every corner, and patrol robots walk in an orderly manner on the streets, providing security for residents.

Jiang Yu disguised himself as an ordinary person, wandering around his territory and observing the lives of the local residents.

He saw children chasing and playing in the park, their faces beaming with innocent smiles.

Seeing office workers rushing to work, striving for a living.

He saw elderly people sitting on benches, leisurely basking in the sun. He went into a street-side café, ordered a coffee, sat by the window, and quietly observed the world outside.

People's lives may seem ordinary, but they are full of warmth and life, which is what he risked his life to protect on the battlefield.

He saw a young couple walking hand in hand, the girl with a happy smile on her face, and the boy looking at her tenderly.

This scene reminded him of the peaceful years before the war, when people were free to love and pursue their own happiness.

He then saw a mother buying ice cream with her child. The child excitedly pointed to the various flavors in the display window, and the mother patiently helped him choose.

This heartwarming scene made him feel the warmth of family and also made him understand the meaning of his struggle.

Walking on the bustling street, listening to people's laughter and smelling the aroma of street food, Jiang Yu's mood gradually calmed down.

He realized that the strength he had always pursued was not only to defeat enemies on the battlefield, but also to protect these ordinary and beautiful lives.

The war exposed him to too much death and destruction, but it also gave him a deeper understanding of life.

He no longer focused on leveling up and increasing his power, but instead began to think about how to improve the lives of the inhabitants of this territory and how to secure a peaceful future for humanity.

As the sun set and painted the sky golden, Jiang Yu took a deep breath, feeling the pent-up emotions in his heart dissipate considerably.

He knew that his mindset had changed, and this change might help him break through the bottleneck, or allow him to walk more steadily on the road ahead.

"Jiang Yu?"

Just then, Shui Qinglan found him.

Her voice came from behind, carrying a familiar gentleness.

Jiang Yu was stunned. "You still recognize me even though I've changed like this?"

He was dressed in ordinary clothes and had made some simple changes to his appearance, but he was still recognized.

Shui Qinglan laughed: "I'll recognize you no matter what you look like."

Her eyes held certainty, as if she could recognize Jiang Yu at a glance, no matter what he looked like.

Jiang Yu felt a warmth in his heart.

The feeling of being clearly recognized warmed his heart.

Next, the two of them found a park, and Jiang Yu lay on her lap, enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, falling on the two of them.

It was very quiet around, with only the occasional chirping of birds.

Jiang Yu told Shui Qinglan about his troubles, and Shui Qinglan listened gently.

She didn't interrupt, but listened quietly as Jiang Yu poured out his confusion and pressure.

Along the way, Jiang Yu had left her far behind, and no matter how hard she tried to catch up, she couldn't.

The gap in strength left her feeling helpless, while the gap in talent was even more disheartening.

So that's all she can do.

Stay by Jiang Yu's side, listen to his troubles, and give him support.

She thought for a moment and said, "Jiang Yu, no matter what, it is all thanks to you that we have this moment of happiness now."

“So, I want to thank you.” She looked at Jiang Yu with sincere eyes.

"Besides, didn't Senior Night Emperor say he would tell you the secret of the title? Perhaps once you know that secret, you will understand why we have been fighting until now."

"Is that so? In that case, I need to hurry up and start cultivating." Jiang Yu thought Shui Qinglan's words made a lot of sense.

You need to max out your understanding of energy, time, and space at least by level 30, otherwise it would be ridiculous if your account couldn't be banned.

He silently set a goal in his heart, preparing to throw himself back into cultivation. (End of Chapter)
