The Great Dream God

Deep down in Meng Jin's heart, he seemed unmoved by what was happening before his eyes. His eyes were as firm as a rock, revealing an unshakable determination.

After completing this mission, he has decided to stay away from the vortex of power full of intrigue - the disputes in the Senate no longer belong to him.

The political intrigues of the emperor of the human empire and the grievances and entanglements of the mysterious Princess Zi Yang all became insignificant in his determination.

At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten the whole world and focused only on his own choice. His detached and indifferent attitude was so moving.

He no longer cared about the games of power, nor was he troubled by the disputes of others. His heart was like a tranquil lake, without any ripples.

Neither the glory of the empire nor personal gains and losses could shake his inner peace.

He chose a lonely path, a path that completely broke away from the past. Although this might cause him to lose a lot, it also allowed him to gain unprecedented freedom.

Meng Jin's eyes flashed with a firm belief in the future. He was ready to embrace a new life, a life no longer bound by power.

His decision was not made out of cowardice or escape, but came from a deep self-awakening. He understood that true power lies in controlling one's own destiny rather than being controlled by fate.

Therefore, he resolutely chose to withdraw, in order to declare his adherence to self-worth and his yearning for a free life.

Zhang Tianlong's announcement was like a thunderous bolt of lightning, and everyone present was deeply shocked by his words.

His back disappeared at the door together with the empire elders, as if taking away a majestic and mysterious force, making the atmosphere in the entire Senate suddenly become quiet.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and the sound of footsteps and discussions echoed in the empty hall, eventually returning to silence.

Only Meng Jin, Princess Ziyang, and a few core winners were left standing there, their eyes flashing with complex emotions, including joy, excitement, and endless thoughts about the future. Their figures appeared solemn and firm in the afterglow of the setting sun. At this moment, the Senate seemed to have become their stage, carrying their glory and dreams.

This place, which had witnessed countless power struggles, had now become the battlefield for them to plan for the future.

They knew that the next discussion would determine the fate of the empire, and would affect the lives of every individual and the peace of every piece of land. They would discuss how to consolidate the fruits of victory and how to lead the empire into a new era of prosperity.

Time passed quietly in silence, and everyone was thinking silently, preparing to contribute their wisdom to the upcoming discussion.

Meng Jin's expression was as firm as a rock. There was a resolute light in his eyes. He said to Princess Ziyang word by word, "Princess, I have indeed done my best to complete the task you assigned me without any slacking." His tone revealed an unshakable determination, as if he had been fully prepared for his decision.

Princess Ziyang frowned upon hearing this, and a trace of confusion and disappointment flashed in her eyes. She shook her head gently, saying in a reproachful tone: "Have you forgotten our common goal? Do you really intend to stop here and not move forward? Where are your ambitions? Where are your visions for the future? Giving up a bigger stage just because you have achieved a small goal is not the attitude that young people should have." Although her voice was soft, every word was like a needle, piercing Meng Jin's heart.

At this time, Edward and Lisa on the side seemed particularly embarrassed. They exchanged glances, feeling helpless. Edward rubbed his hands, trying to find the right words, while Lisa bit her lower lip nervously, her eyes wandering between Meng Jin and Princess Ziyang, hoping to find a way to ease the tension. However, they all knew that this matter concerned Meng Jin's personal choice and was not something they could easily interfere with.

There was a firm light in Princess Ziyang's eyes, and her words were loud and convincing: "Mengjin, the decision you make at this moment will determine your future. I advise you not to give up easily, because this is the time for you to move forward. Every effort will bring your status to a higher level. Although you are only an earl now, the possibilities in the future are unlimited. You may become a marquis, or even a duke, or even a duke. Such glory is not an unattainable dream." Her voice was full of encouragement and expectation, as if she was painting a grand picture, inviting Mengjin to paint his own future.

However, Meng Jin shook his head calmly, his eyes were as calm as water, without any ripples. "For me, none of this is important." He said softly, his eyes full of longing for an ordinary life, "All I want is to sit on a warm kang with my wife and children, enjoy a peaceful life, and live a real life." His words revealed his deep attachment to his family, which was the harbor in his heart and the source of his motivation to strive.

After Meng Jin finished speaking, he took Xu Xiaofeng beside him, and their hands were tightly clasped, as if conveying a silent oath. He looked at Princess Ziyang, his eyes full of determination. And Xu Xiaofeng responded with a helpless but gentle smile, her eyes reflected the figure of Meng Jin. She understood his choice. Although she had fantasies of a higher status in her heart, she understood that for Meng Jin, the happiness of his family was the most important. Her eyes flashed with love for ordinary life, and she also hoped to share that simple happiness with Meng Jin, a wife, children and a warm bed. This is their common dream and the true meaning of their lives.

After saying this, Meng Jin's eyes gently fell on Princess Ziyang's face, her eyes were full of seriousness and worry. Princess Ziyang took a deep breath and refuted each word forcefully: "You said this, do you really think you can give Xu Xiaofeng a bright future? Have you ever thought about how your choice affects the unborn child? You have the right to choose your own lifestyle, but you can't ignore that if the child has ambitions and dreams, but you can't provide a better environment for growth, then you will understand what real pain is."

Meng Jin seemed quite indifferent when he heard this, and his eyes revealed a kind of detached ease. "What does the child's future have to do with me?"

He said softly, as if talking to himself, "In my opinion, the most important thing is that he is happy. As long as he is happy, that's enough. If he is incapable of pursuing higher goals, it only proves that he does not have such talent. This is not my responsibility, but his own limitation."

However, Princess Ziyang's eyes revealed deep worry. She knew that although Meng Jin's point of view seemed free and easy, it ignored one fact - the environment has a profound impact on people.

She continued: "Happiness is important, but have you ever thought that without proper guidance and support, your child's happiness may only be a short-lived illusion? He may feel powerless due to lack of opportunities and suffer from the inability to realize his dreams. The decisions you make now will shape his world and his future."

Meng Jin felt that what Princess Ziyang said was nonsense, and he didn't take it to heart at all.
