Chapter 621: The Not-Too-Distant Future

Li Yang looked around and suddenly asked: "You were planning to give up, why did you come to Blue Star to find me?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and soon understood what he meant.

She lowered her eyes, was silent for a moment, and then answered: "Just like the beginning... I really can't bear to see you bear all this alone."

"If nothing unexpected happens, you will encounter the same dilemma every time."

"Even without me, you will still fall into reincarnation again and again." She said softly, with a hint of sadness in her tone, "In the final analysis, in this situation, even people with power are prone to loneliness... No matter how powerful you are, you are just one person after all."

Li Yang smiled and didn't answer.

"I said at the beginning that no matter what the future holds, I will always be by your side." Jiang Xiaoxiao continued, "And as your last companion, I will of course keep my promise."

"But in the end... I still couldn't be your real support, and I'm sorry." She smiled weakly, "After all, I'm not like you, I don't have that much power, and I can't support the burden you shoulder... But at least, we finally succeeded..."

Li Yang didn't answer, just looked at her silently.

It was dark outside, and the starry sky outside the window was particularly clear.

"Now that we have done our best, everything that comes next no longer needs us to worry about it." Li Yang's eyes were firm and powerful, "So, let everything develop naturally."

"After all, the future talents are already on the way..."

Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded and suddenly smiled: "Yes, they are already on the way."

The two smiled at each other, as if in the ordinary conversation, there was a feeling that spanned millions of years.

Perhaps, as Li Yang said, they have done what they should do.

And the next step should be taken by the new civilization.

So, after drinking one glass after another, the two stood up at the same time.

The old man saw this scene and hurried forward to see them off: "You two are really happy to drink! I can see that you must have tasted many fine wines, but you still appreciate the special blends of our small place so much. It's really an honor."

Li Yang just smiled and said nothing more.

Jiang Xiaoxiao turned around, but suddenly turned back and asked: "By the way, old man, can I ask you a question?"

"Of course, just ask."

"You must have seen too many civilizations rise and fall while staying here." Jiang Xiaoxiao looked up and down inside the tavern, "This tavern has been with many generations."

"Haha, you are right, you are right." The old man laughed heartily, "This tavern has been passed down for seven or eight generations. From the first boss to my generation... This tavern has witnessed too much, but it has always existed here, accompanying new generations of drinkers."

"So... Even if you have witnessed such changes, what do you think of the future?" Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled, "Can you imagine what changes may happen in the future?"

"Haha, you asked a good question. "The old man shook his head, "To be honest, I don't see the future very clearly... After all, I am old now, and even if I live another ten or eight years, I won't see anything new. "

"But..." The old man exhaled heavily, squinting at the unchanging starry sky outside the window, "I think that [future] should not be too far away. "

"Now I am old, I am afraid I can't wait for that day. "

"But..." The old man's eyes were firm and powerful, "Even if I can't wait, I will definitely see the signs of the future in my lifetime. "

"By then, I think... this tavern will still exist. I don't know how it will be transformed, but in any case it will accompany the people of the new era, just like we are now, enjoying the beauty of life. "

The old man said at the end, his tone was full of determination and hope.

Li Yang listened for a long while before nodding silently, without commenting.

Jiang Xiaoxiao stared at the old man's clear eyes, which seemed to reflect too much hope...

Li Yang and Jiang Xiaoxiao left the tavern silently and walked onto the street outside.

The street scene under the night seemed to be permeated with a primitive and simple atmosphere.

The two walked side by side, and no one spoke. Perhaps in each other's hearts, the old man's words just now have explained a lot.

From the old man's eyes, they saw a tenacious and unyielding fire of hope.

This fire of hope represents the ray of hope that all civilizations can still be rekindled in suffering.

It is precisely because of this ray of hope that a new fire of civilization will eventually be born.

And the reason why they can let go is that they saw the dawn of light.

The two walked along the way, through the streets and alleys, through the slightly dilapidated houses, and through everything.

It seems that all along the way, they are telling a process of once glorious, then declining, and now re-giving birth to new vitality.

But no matter which stage they are in, these buildings, these streets, and these residents are all telling an eternal theme in their own way - the progress of civilization.

Yes, the progress of civilization is endless, even if it is occasionally suspended, it will eventually come back.

This is just like what Li Yang and Jiang Xiaoxiao did back then. Although the price was heavy, the effort will eventually have its meaning and value.

The two walked like this, passing through those corners that have not been completely forgotten by civilization, looking at these relics that were originally left behind, and suddenly felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.

It was not until a long time later that the two stopped and came to their senses. They had come to a suburb.

Here, the view is endless, and the stars are scattered on the earth, like pearls inlaid on the sky.

The breeze blows slowly, bringing bursts of fragrance.

Li Yang took a deep breath and suddenly said: "What we are seeing now, you have seen it countless times before, right? Do you feel that it is all worth it?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded: "Of course... I have never doubted it."

"Civilization will start again from the most original state and gradually move towards a new height. And this process will also become a brand new embodiment as you wish."

Jiang Xiaoxiao said slowly, "There is a beginning and an end, and it repeats itself... This is the true eternity."

Li Yang listened quietly and suddenly laughed: "Then let's wait and see what new and strange scenes will appear in this world."

"After all, this time it's not just the civilization of Blue Star... but all civilizations in the entire universe."

"What the future will be like... is hard to predict." Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled and shook her head, "But no matter what, you have a bottom line, don't you?"
