The Great Dream God

Amid the hustle and bustle of the imperial capital, a quiet courtyard stands quietly like an isolated island.

In the small courtyard, there was a tall man, dressed in luxurious robes and neatly dressed. He was Meng Jin.

His eyes fell on a young man next to him. That was his son, a young man full of vitality and potential.

Meng Jin took a deep breath, held his son's hand tightly, and whispered: "My son, you must remember that this is a big step in your life. In the Jixia Academy, you must study hard and strive to become a pillar of the country as soon as possible." The son nodded, his eyes firm, as if he was ready to meet the challenge.

Meng Jin turned around and walked through a winding corridor with firm steps. His destination was the residence of Princess Ziyang, one of the most powerful women in the imperial capital.

Meng Jin has a special relationship with Princess Ziyang. He is well aware of the princess's strength and influence, so he decides to visit her in person and seek her help.

Walking into the mansion, Meng Jin immediately saw Princess Ziyang sitting in the middle of the hall. She was wearing gorgeous clothes and a golden crown, and her temperament was majestic yet elegant.

Seeing Meng Jin coming, she showed a happy smile on her face and warmly invited him to take a seat.

After Meng Jin sat down, he said straight to the point: "Princess, I came here to seek your help." Princess Ziyang smiled and motioned him to continue. Meng Jin continued: "I desire more power and status. I know it is not easy, but I am willing to pay any price for it."

Princess Ziyang was silent for a moment after hearing Meng Jin's words. She understood Meng Jin's ambitions, and was also aware of his abilities and skills. In her opinion, Meng Jin was a person worth supporting, and his rise was also a good thing for her. So, she slowly spoke, with an unquestionable firmness in her voice: "Meng Jin, I support you. I will use my strength to help you realize your dream."

Meng Jin heard this and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. He knew that with the support of Princess Ziyang, his path would become wider.

Princess Ziyang nodded with satisfaction. She admired Meng Jin's determination and ambition. She knew that this man would be a key figure in her future plans. She believed that in the near future, Meng Jin would stand at the pinnacle of power and become the shining pearl of the empire.

Just as the sun was shining in the courtyard and Princess Ziyang was about to announce a new mission, the gate of the courtyard suddenly creaked open. The sun shone in from outside, illuminating two familiar faces of Mengjin - Wei Yanren and Sun Yifang. They had fought side by side and made great contributions to Mengjin, but now they were like strangers and did not recognize each other.

As soon as Wei Yanren entered the room, his eyes fell on Princess Ziyang. He saw Meng Jin was also there, and immediately an embarrassed look appeared on his face.

He hurriedly bowed to Princess Ziyang, with a hint of apology in his voice: "Princess, I didn't know you had guests here. I'm really sorry. I'll take my leave now and not disturb you."

Meng Jin did not show any surprise or joy at the arrival of Wei Yanren and Sun Yifang. He just glanced at them lightly, and then his gaze returned to Princess Ziyang again.

He knew very well that these two former comrades-in-arms were no longer his friends.

Princess Ziyang smiled as she watched Wei Yanren and Sun Yifang walk away, then turned to Meng Jin and said, "Meng Jin, I have a new task for you."

Meng Jin was slightly startled, and looked up at Princess Ziyang. He knew that the princess would not easily look for him, and if there was something, it must be of great importance.

Princess Ziyang took a deep breath and her expression became serious: "I need you to help Qingque go to the distant Tiannan Kingdom to explore the ancient ruins of the Qingniao tribe and find the code written by the prophet himself - "The Holy Old Testament."

Meng Jin frowned, and a sense of inexplicable anger surged in his heart. He knew very well how dangerous the Bluebird Clan was. They were good at using tricks and traps, making it hard for people to defend themselves. But Princess Ziyang asked him to explore their ancient ruins, which undoubtedly put him in danger.

However, when he saw Princess Zi Yang's determined and expectant gaze, Meng Jin's anger gradually subsided.

He knew that he could not refuse the princess's request, not only because he had vowed to protect the peace of Mengjin, but also because of his deep desire for the ancient code.

Meng Jin took a deep breath, tried to calm his emotions, and then slowly said: "Princess, I am willing to accept this task."

Princess Ziyang smiled with satisfaction when she heard this. She knew that Meng Jin was a trustworthy person, and he would do his best to complete whatever he promised.

"Very good," Princess Ziyang nodded, "As long as you can successfully find the "Shengming Old Testament" and bring it back to Mengjin, I will confer you the title of Marquis."

Meng Jin stood in the courtyard, the breeze brushed his cheeks, bringing a hint of coolness. He was slightly stunned, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. The honor and status in front of him were what he had always dreamed of, but the price behind it made him feel extremely heavy.

The Bluebird Clan, this name rang in Meng Jin's ears, and his heart couldn't help but stir.

In the eyes of these so-called Bluebirds, the Human Empire is nothing more than a chess piece that can be manipulated at will. Their ambition is even to take the entire Human Empire into their possession and keep power firmly in their hands.

Meng Jin was really horrified to be associated with such people.

At this time, Princess Ziyang walked into the courtyard. She looked at Meng Jin, a trace of concern flashed in her eyes, and said, "I heard that Qingque came to you and told you about this matter, but you flatly refused. Is it because you don't want to be involved in karma?"

Meng Jin raised his head and looked at Princess Ziyang, with a hint of determination in his eyes. He nodded and said, "Yes, I don't want to associate with those ambitious people, and I don't want to do things that go against my conscience for the so-called honor and status."

Princess Ziyang looked at Meng Jin, with a hint of admiration in her eyes. She continued, "But do you realize that there are some things you can't just not do if you don't want to do them! If you don't do them, you won't get what you want. Think about your son, he still needs your protection and care."

Meng Jin took a deep breath. He understood the meaning of Princess Ziyang's words. A strong sense of responsibility surged in his heart. For the sake of his son and Meng Jin's peace, he could not back down.

He knew that the road ahead would be full of thorns and dangers. The Bluebirds would not let him go, and they would use every means to prevent him from completing his mission. But Meng Jin was ready. He was no longer a simple dreamer, he had become a warrior, fighting for the peace of Meng Jin.
