Chapter 150
In the dream world.

Jiang Huai did not hide his identity. He looked at Tao Zhexuan calmly and spoke slowly:
"Just call me Jiang Huai."

Tao Zhexuan nodded slightly, raised a faint smile on his cracked lips, and said in a slightly hoarse voice:

"Jiang Huai? That's a nice name."

His eyes were bloodshot and his pale face showed extreme fatigue, as if he would collapse at any moment.

But he still looked up at Jiang Huai stubbornly, with a hint of contemplation.

He spoke slowly, his tone calm and thorough:

“If it were anyone else, they might choose to sleep with this knowledge.

"But I am different. Although I am a scientist in the United States, I am not patriotic and have no feelings for the United States."

Jiang Huai raised his eyebrows slightly and listened quietly without interrupting.

Terence Tao said:

"In my opinion, the final outcome of any country is destined to be lost in history.

“This was true of the Roman Empire in the past, and it was also true of the Tang Dynasty, which was once the place where all nations came to pay tribute.

"To invest one's feelings in a country that is doomed to perish, or even to pledge one's allegiance to it, is, in my opinion, a very foolish thing to do."

Tao said, sighed, and continued:

“I don’t care who wins or loses in the eagle-rabbit game. I just want to explore the truth of mathematics.

"The reason why I work for the United States is because the United States has the most advanced scientific research environment, that's all."

Jiang Huai was silent for a moment, nodded, and said softly:

"I see."

Jiang Huai knew that Terence Tao was a pure mathematician who only wanted to do his own mathematics.

Unfortunately, however, he stood on the opposite side of Jiang Huai.

The two sides have different positions.

It's too late to say anything now.

Terence Tao must die.

This is the price paid for gaining knowledge that is ahead of its time.

No one can change this outcome.

Terence Tao knows this, too.

In the last moments of his life, he looked up at Jiang Huai, with a hint of confusion and puzzlement, and asked a question:
"I'm very curious. As the only extraordinary creature in the world, you are the equivalent of a god to humans, possessing extraordinary powers.

"God is not supposed to be high and mighty. Why do you intervene in the disputes of the secular world?"

JAC did not avoid this issue.

He looked at Terence Tao deeply and answered seriously:

"Because I love Daxia."

These words were spoken with great determination and pride.

Terence Tao frowned slightly, with a complicated look on his face.

He is a Chinese who was born abroad and received Western education since childhood. He has been to Daxia only a few times.

To be honest, he couldn't quite understand this strong patriotic sentiment.

Jiang Huai seemed to see Tao Zhexuan's doubts, smiled faintly, and said:

"Like you said, many things will eventually be lost in the long river of history.

"But I can tell you responsibly that the Daxia nation will not. As long as the sun continues to rise, the Daxia nation will continue to exist."

Tao Zhexuan looked a little confused:

"why?"

Jiang Huai looked determined and answered in a resounding voice:

"Because whenever this nation is in danger, there are always people who step forward and turn the tide.

“Even in times of peace and stability, there are countless people like me who silently contribute in the darkness.

"That's why, among the four ancient civilizations, only Daxia's cultural heritage has never been interrupted and has a long history over the past five thousand years."

There was a hint of emotion in Terence Tao's eyes.

He was silent for a long time. He did not refute Jiang Huai or argue anything.

He felt an unshakable belief from Jiang Huai's words, as unshakable as a mountain that had stood for thousands of years.

He had actually met some Daxia people, and these people all had something that was hard to describe.

If I had to describe it in one word, it would be faith.

However, what they believed in was not a certain person or a certain god. What they believed in was...

It's the land under your feet!
Seeing that Tao Zhexuan was silent, Jiang Huai raised a smile and said slowly:

"You are pursuing mathematical truth, and I understand your choice.

"But what I am protecting is that land and the people who live on that land. This is the meaning of my existence."

Tao Terence smiled, nodded slightly, and said no more.

There is no right or wrong in life, everyone has their own pursuits.

He pursued mathematics.

And this extraordinary creature who can control dreams, what he pursues is protection.

"You are an interesting person."

Tao's voice was a little low, revealing fatigue, but also a little softer:

"If I were born in Daxia and we had the same stance, maybe we would still be friends."

Jiang Huai was stunned. He looked at Terence Tao and frowned slightly.
"You... don't hate me?"

Terence Tao smiled, and that smile contained a hint of relief.

"Why should I hate you?"

His voice was gentle:

"You just stood your ground and did what you were supposed to do.

"For the sake of Daxia that you defend, you want to get rid of me, the number one mathematician in the United States. Isn't that what you should do?
"I would do the same if I were you."

Jiang Huai remained silent, staring at Terence Tao with deep eyes.

It was indeed beyond his expectation that the other party would say such words.

Jiang Huai had a complicated expression:

“You’re an interesting person, too.”

Tao Zhexuan sighed softly, and said with some emotion:
"How about making friends?"

Jiang Huai smiled slightly, raised his hand and shook his hand symbolically:

"To make friends."

The two looked at each other and smiled, their laughter was low and short.

Terence Tao has an extremely high IQ. His thoughts and cognition are far beyond the ordinary world. He has never had any real friends since he was a child.

Now, at such a dramatic moment, he made the first and also the last friend in his life.

He smiled, with relief and fatigue in his eyes, and said softly:
"I'm so sleepy. I'm going to take a nap."

Jiang Huai heard this and said nothing more.

He knew what it meant to sleep in a dream.

It is a deep sleep, and it is also a farewell forever, and you will never wake up again.

This genius mathematician is about to die completely.

Terence Tao asked:

"Have you memorized all my mathematical formulas and theorems?"

Jiang Huai pointed to his head:

“It’s all written down here.”

Jiang Huai gently patted Tao Zhexuan's shoulder, his tone was a bit complicated:
"Good night, have a sweet dream."

Jiang Huai was ready to leave, allowing Tao to enjoy the last peace of his life.

But just as Jiang Huai turned around, Tao Zhexuan suddenly spoke, his voice was low but very clear:

"Actually, you are not invincible."

This sentence made Jiang Huai stop.

He frowned, turned and looked at Tao with interest, wanting to hear what he would say next.

Tao Zhexuan chuckled, with an indescribable confidence in his eyes:

"I already know how to kill you!"

Jiang Huai raised his eyebrows. How dare this dying genius make such a statement at the last moment of his life?

This undoubtedly aroused his curiosity.

"Oh? Kill me?"

Jiang Huai smiled calmly, his voice without any ripples:
"What are you going to kill me with? With your mouth or your knowledge of mathematics?"
