The Great Dream God

Edward, the warrior who had experienced many vicissitudes of life, stood aside, his eyes flashing with unprecedented hope, his voice deep and powerful: "This place will become a sacred place for us to regroup and recuperate! Here, we will find back our lost strength, heal the wounds of our hearts, and let our tired souls rest." Every word he said was like a bolt from the blue, resounding and announcing the arrival of a new era.

Lisa's eyes were as bright as stars, reflecting endless determination and expectation. "This is a brand new journey," she said softly but firmly, "We will leave the past behind, embrace the unknown, and carve our future with courage and faith. Here, every dawn will be a new life of hope, and every dusk will be a testimony of our struggle." Her voice was like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, creating ripples and awakening the passion in everyone's heart.

Meng Jin's eyes were deep and insightful. He looked at the two brand-new partners with a heart full of satisfaction. He slowly said, "From now on, this land will bear our footprints. We are its masters and protectors. We will write a new chapter here, shape a new order, and let every sunrise and sunset witness our growth and glory." His voice was like a huge bell, resounding through the sky, announcing that a glorious era belonging to them was about to begin.

In the distant imperial capital, the sunlight was like golden silk, weaving the glory of the day and scattering in every corner of the courtyard. Princess Ziyang, the woman with a radiant temperament and dressed in purple, stood quietly in the courtyard, her eyes fixed on a withered ginkgo tree in front of her. The once green leaves were now yellow, just like her mood at the moment, full of desolation.

"Meng Jin, that humble man, how dare he reject me!" Her words were as light as the breeze, but they were filled with endless chill, and every word seemed to be coated with ice and snow, piercing and cold. "I am Princess Ziyang, the pearl of the royal family, the proud daughter of heaven, and he, Meng Jin, is just a commoner. How dare he reject my wishes?" Her voice was low, but it was filled with endless anger and confusion.

The sun shines through the courtyard like broken gold, and every ray of light seems to whisper a warm secret. As the light and shadow dance, a series of steady and firm footsteps echo on the stone road, like a solemn symphony, leading people's attention to the figure approaching. Wei Yanren, this name, like his steps, carries majesty and wisdom. At this moment, he has stepped into this green courtyard.

"Princess Ziyang," he bowed his head slightly, his eyes flashing with inquiring light, like stars shining in the night sky, "You summoned me, is there something urgent that requires me, Wei Yanren, to come and serve?" His tone was calm, and his words revealed not only respect, but also a hidden confidence and composure. It seemed that no matter what kind of predicament he faced, he could use his endless wisdom and courage to turn danger into safety and solve problems.

The sun filled the entire courtyard, warm and bright. Princess Ziyang smiled as brightly as a spring flower. When she saw Wei Yanren slowly stepping into the courtyard, she couldn't help laughing out loud: "Hahaha, Wei Yanren, come here, come here, you finally show up, I've been waiting here for a long time! You are such a young talent in the prime of life, I have high hopes for you!" Her eyes flashed with recognition and expectation of Wei Yanren, and that enthusiasm was like the summer sun, bright and hot, making the whole courtyard full of vitality because of her words.

The sun shone on Wei Yanren's face, and he looked at the extremely enthusiastic Princess Ziyang with a little nervousness. The scene was like a bright daytime painting, and every detail was exceptionally clear. Princess Ziyang's smile was as bright and dazzling as the rising sun, but this sudden enthusiasm made Wei Yanren feel a little strange and awkward. His deep eyes reflected the princess's brilliance, but also revealed a hint of confusion.

"Princess Ziyang," Wei Yanren's voice sounded particularly steady in the warm sunshine, "I'm really... not used to you being like this. We were always so calm and polite when we got along before, and your enthusiasm makes me a little overwhelmed." He paused, and tilted his head slightly. The sunlight carved a firm outline on his profile, "But please go ahead, if I can help, I will do my best to help, no matter if it means traveling through mountains and rivers, or going through fire and water!" His tone was firm and full of determination, like a promise in the sun, hot and sincere.

Princess Ziyang sighed softly, the sunlight shining on her delicate face, reflecting a hint of helplessness. She spoke slowly, her words carrying memories of the past: "Since the last incident, I think the rift between you is probably difficult to bridge. Every time I think of it, I can seem to see the tacit understanding you once had shattered in that conflict, just like the midday sun being obscured by dark clouds."

Wei Yanren looked embarrassed, his eyes seemed a little evasive in the bright sunlight. He admitted: "You are right, now the relationship between Meng Jin and I is indeed cold as ice. He has entered the circle of nobles, enjoying glory and power, while I am still just an ordinary citizen, living in the streets and alleys where the sun shines. People from two different worlds are like day and night, it is difficult for them to intersect again." There was a hint of self-mockery in his words, and there was also an unconcealable loss.

Their former friendship, after that incident, was like a summer rain, which moistened the earth briefly but eventually could not withstand the scorching sun and disappeared without a trace. Now, they are each moving forward on their own life tracks, and the closeness they once had has been dried up by the sun, leaving only a faint shadow swaying in their memories.

Princess Ziyang gently raised her eyelids, her eyes sparkling with deep wisdom, accompanied by a faint sigh, her words were as moist and philosophical as morning dew: "Humble origin is not a person's shame, it is just a starting point given by life. If I hadn't given Meng Jin opportunities again and again, he would probably still be like you, working silently in the field of life. Therefore, in this vast world, the most valued abilities are not always those outstanding talents, because they may be covered by dust. The real key is often those opportunities to change destiny! Wei Yanren, are you eager to seize such an opportunity?"

Wei Yanren's face looked particularly vivid in the sunlight. The initial shock was gone in an instant, replaced by a determination as strong as a rock. He straightened his back, looked at Princess Ziyang with a sharp gaze, and answered word by word: "I am willing to accept the challenge, Princess Ziyang, please give me a chance to rise to prominence!" His voice was like a loud bell, echoing under the bright sky, showing his determination and expectation for the future.
