C764 Do Not Regret
Pop, pop, pop ~
A slight muffled sound was heard, and several wooden life-support pipes were slowly pulled out from the old man's body. The dense life force was dispersed out, turning into a thin, jade-like film that perfectly fit the old man's body.
The originally haggard old man instantly aged by more than ten years. His spirit seemed to have recovered by quite a bit, and he seemed to be in high spirits.
"Thanks, old friend."
"Between you and me, there is no need for words."
The old man smiled, "Yes."
He tidied up his wrinkled clothes and combed his hair meticulously.
A clean image, this was the most basic form of respect.
The old man walked out with large strides. When he reached the end of the corridor, he stopped and said apologetically,
"If this trip goes smoothly, then you can do whatever you want. If it doesn't go well, then I'll have to trouble old friend to keep watch over Lih Kingdom for another twenty years."
"No problem, 20 years to me is just a blink of an eye."
The old man pursed his lips but didn't say anything.
Twenty years for a life like his was indeed very short, and it would normally just be a matter of sleep. But now, Unique Religion and the northern Lothar Empire had strongly merged together, causing the entire world to become restless. These twenty years were not as easy as they seemed.
It would be fine if he was fine, but if something bad happened then it would be a big matter, a matter of life and death for his Lih Kingdom. At that time, would he really be able to stay out of this?
The old man also thought about this and added, "If you reach that step in the future, if you can't do it, then take the core of my Tao Palace and leave."
Silence, still silence.
He didn't know if he had heard, but the old man gave a self-deprecating laugh and left with a heart full of apology.
In front of individuals and countries, he would always prioritize his country. For this reason, he had made many difficult decisions and lost many precious things.
Although he would not sleep through the night because of this for countless days, he did not regret it.
Because he had also received a lot.
His Lih Kingdom, in the short span of fifty years, from a poor, poor, and backward country that was ready to flourish, soared all the way, becoming the second largest country in the world.
From the past food is not full, wear not warm, to today's big fish, warm summer cold.
From the international bullying of the past to today's widespread respect.
From the kneeling of the past to the standing of today.
From the tiles of the old mud houses to the tall buildings of today, rows upon rows of them could be seen.
From the cattle and horses of the past to the current, there was an unending torrent of iron and steel.
From his sallow face in the past to his muscular physique today, his face was glowing with glory.
The time was still short. He didn't allow everyone to live a wealthy life.
Time is short, and there are still many drawbacks in this society that need to be improved upon.
The time was still short. There was still a long way to go before the true revival would begin.
However, this country was slowly standing up, growing stronger, and striding towards a bright future.
This country, all its people, will be able to live a life of prosperity and happiness by their own hands.
This was what he had obtained.
He did not know how important it was to lose what he had lost and what he had gained. Perhaps there would never be an answer to this question.
He only knew that he didn't regret anything in this lifetime.
