A Myriad of Lights

Those wounds, those loves, are an indelible brilliance in history.

Jia Yi sighed, "If Brother Dong could see this day, he would surely be pleased."

"His son-in-law discovered Coenzyme R3V, which led to the development of Jade Marrow and X gene capsule, and his granddaughter made amazing progress in the induction and differentiation of human Stem Cell, realizing limb regeneration technology."

"Even my granddaughter's boyfriend, at the age of 19, became a being Beyond War God of War, obtaining the status of a councilor of the War God Palace, which is unparalleled."

"Brother Dong not only saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people on the banks of the river with his own life, but also, through the spirit he passed down, you all came into being, making the future of mankind shine brightly."

Jia Yi looked back with deep emotion.

Wen Xiuyong and the others were taken aback.

Wen Zhi'an's uncle and aunt were unaware of these matters concerning Wen Zhi'an, as Wen Xiuyong and his wife had never mentioned them to them.

All I know is the achievements of my brother-in-law, Wen Xiuyong.

However, Jia Yi and the others knew each other, and given his status and position, he certainly wouldn't say anything false here.

Limb regeneration?

This medical technique, which is almost a fantasy of humankind, has actually been realized in Wen Zhi'an's hands?

And her boyfriend, 19 years old, a member of the War God Palace?

What's going on here?

Dong Qingci's elder brother Dong Qiancheng, is no ordinary person either. After humanity survived the catastrophe and the country stabilized, he was raised to the highest standards because of his father, and now he is also a mid-level war god.

Of course I know what a councilor from the War God Palace means.

When you consider age, it becomes even more incredible!

Zhi'an is actually dating someone like that?

Wen Xiuyong and Dong Qingci looked at Lin Yan, their hearts filled with shock. The young man before them had gentle features and a solemn expression, showing no arrogance despite Jia Yi's words.

Those words still echoed in their ears.

"If you think it's not possible now, then wait a little longer. We're still young anyway. But if you want us to separate, I'm sorry, I'm afraid it can't be as you wish."

"I am 18 years old now, Intermediate War God Level Mental Master. If you think that's not enough, then wait until I Beyond War God. That should put your mind at ease. It's okay, it won't be too long."

What this person said in front of them last November came true in a short period of time.

This was something they had never imagined.

Especially Wen Xiuyong, he still remembered that back in the North District, when Lin Yan was only Warrior Level, he seemed to be shamelessly saying that he was not the one he wanted to surpass.

Instead, they stand on the clouds above the War God Palace, those who look down upon the world.

At that time, Wen Xiuyong didn't think too much about it. He just felt that it was good for a young person to have such ambition. He had a long future ahead of him, and life's encounters were uncertain.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

Those who lack ambition are not capable of accomplishing anything.

Perhaps in a few decades, he really will be able to do it.

But to everyone's surprise, this process could be shortened to this extent. In less than a year, he accomplished what no one else had ever done: standing with those who control the fate of the world.

Standing above these clouds.

Dong Qiancheng asked in surprise, "Why didn't you mention Qingci, Xiuyong, Zhi'an to us?"

"My niece is really promising. She'll be an academician sooner or later, no less than your father."

"Zhi'an, bring your boyfriend home sometime so we can meet him!"

He didn't have any other thoughts on his mind.

To put it bluntly, it's hard for anyone to resist the curiosity of someone who is around them doing something like this.

Wen Xiuyong explained, "Brother, Zhi'an's research results have not yet been officially put into clinical use, so they are still in the confidential stage, which is why I didn't tell you."

"As for her male..."

Lin Yan then stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Hello, I am Zhi'an's boyfriend, my name is Lin Yan."

Dong Qiancheng stared in disbelief, exclaiming in shock, "Minister Lin?"

He was, after all, a God of War, so how could he not know this prominent figure in Tianjing? The reputation of the Heaven Department was now legendary, and High-level War God- level Mental Master was a top figure in the world.

He had heard about the series of major things Lin Yan had done recently.

Dong Qiancheng is a descendant of heroes, so his thoughts are naturally different from those of Zhong Linjue, Wang Nie, and others.

When his father died, humanity was in peril, order had not been established, Base City had not been built, people were dying everywhere, soldiers were sacrificing their lives, and the country had no resources to take care of the families of heroes like them.

For a long time, they also had to migrate and flee for their lives, and life was very difficult.

He had truly experienced such suffering.

We've finally started to get better, so how come those scoundrels have emerged again?

Therefore, he always felt that he should never use his power to bully the good people at his doorstep. His father set such an example for him, so he naturally held himself to a higher standard.

When he heard that Lin Yan had personally made arrests at Shi Yin's birthday banquet and then purged all the families, big and small, in Tianjing, he was extremely pleased.

This is something he can't do, and most people can't do.

Yet, under Minister Lin's leadership, the chaos was quelled in just two months, bringing order and peace to the land.

At the time, I felt that if any member of my family broke the law, I should put righteousness above family ties and personally escort them to the Heaven Department.

Seeing him arrive at the cemetery today with four councilors and Chief Minister Tai, I didn't think much of it, after all, the Minister of the Heaven Department's status is not much different from theirs.

He stood there, silent for a long time, and it turned out to be Zhi'an's boyfriend?

And now he's already a being Beyond War God of War?

Dong Qiancheng asked in confusion, "Minister Lin, I heard you're 22 years old?"

Lin Yan said, "Please don't call me Minister Lin anymore, just call me Lin Yan. That file was forged by Chief Dai to hide my shortcomings, but now it doesn't matter whether it's concealed or not."

"Actually, I am Zhi'an's high school classmate. I met her again last year during the North District Beast Tide incident. We developed feelings for each other and started dating."

At that time, Lin Yan passed the Quasi-Warrior Assessment on July 16th, and by September he had already become a War God level Mental Master. It was too bizarre, so it was naturally not appropriate to put these things out in the open.

But now that he's a member of Councilor Level, it doesn't matter to others if they know about these things.

Wen Zhi'an gazed at him with her bright eyes, unwilling to look away.

His heart was pounding in his chest, the rhythm of its beat seeming to call out his name.

This man always manages to create miracles, constantly bringing her surprises and never letting her down.

"Believe me."

"Leave it to me."

He kept saying that.

And we've always done it that way.

In Shengan District, Tianjing Base City, there is a low-rent housing community.

It was getting dark.

"Mom, I'm home."

A middle-aged woman said, "Wait a moment, I just got back too. I'll cook for you now."

The boy, who looked about seventeen or eighteen, walked over and said, "You go to work so early every day, so don't come back so late. It's too tiring. What if you collapse from exhaustion?"

The middle-aged woman said, "Go, go, go watch TV. Mom isn't tired."

The boy thought for a moment and said, "Mom, I just came back from the martial arts school and heard from others that Chen Qin was arrested by the Security Bureau a while ago and sentenced to death."

The woman lost her grip on the spatula and it fell into the pot. She immediately turned off the stove and said angrily, "Li Haoyang, how many times have I told you not to gossip about these things outside? Chen Qin's uncle is the vice chairman of the Wang Group. If the Security Bureau were capable, they would have arrested him long ago!"

"We ordinary folks can't fight against the big guys. You should study hard and try to get into university. Your father's situation has been going on for so many years. Don't get yourself into trouble."

Her voice softened. "Mom only has you left."

Li Haoyang's gaze dimmed, and he gave a low "hmm".

The middle-aged woman sniffed and then said, "Go watch some TV, don't keep me from cooking."

Li Haoyang sat down on the sofa in silence and turned on the TV.

The news is playing on TV.

He suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Mom, Mom, come quick!"

Seeing his startled reaction, the middle-aged woman wiped her hands on her apron and walked over.

"What's wrong?"

Li Haoyang asked urgently, "Look at this news, isn't that Teacher Lin's son?"

Which Teacher Lin?

"Teacher Lin Yuanhe, the one who used to live in Building 8, didn't we hear that his son became a martial artist in the second half of last year, so the whole family moved away?"

The middle-aged woman asked in surprise, "You mean Tangtang's brother was on TV?"

"More than that, look, look, isn't it him?"

The middle-aged woman looked at the television, which was broadcasting prime-time news. Among a row of important leaders sat a young figure in a black military uniform with a gold star on his shoulder.

The news voiceover said, "At the meeting, Minister Lin Yan of the Minister of the Heaven Department stated that the spirit of the rule of law should be thoroughly implemented, and delivered an important speech on promoting the popularization of martial arts."

Then Lin Yan stood up, his eyes shining, and said, "Forty-two years ago, 'RR' broke out, and humanity was once in a life-or-death situation. Monsters attacked our cities, and many cities were destroyed. It was only through the valiant fighting of human heroes during the Great Nirvana period that the current world order was formed."

"Even today, monsters continue to threaten human safety in the Wilderness Area."

"Martial artists fight bloody battles in the Wilderness Area to maintain social stability and human living space, and we have also granted them more privileges."

"In practice, we have encountered many difficulties, which has prevented the legal framework from being fully developed."

"As a result, some cases of martial artists of bad character or their family members infringing on the rights of ordinary people have not been properly resolved."

"This was our mistake, and we should apologize to the public for it."

At that moment, countless families in the Six Great Base Cities across the country were watching the content on television, seeing this young figure bowing in apology.

Then he stood up, his eyes bright and his voice clear.

"In February of this year, the Heaven Department was officially established to address this issue."

"The Security Bureau, which is responsible for handling cases involving martial artists, has been reorganized into a department under the Heaven Department. The Heaven Department has since gained supreme law enforcement authority and the power to supervise other departments."

"Over the past two months, the Heaven Department has dealt with the relevant incidents and achieved significant results. During this period, we arrested more than 6,000 people in the Six Great Base Cities, of whom 34% were martial artists, including three War Gods. They were dealt with strictly in accordance with the law!"

"We will use the confiscated assets to compensate the victims and establish a social assistance fund. This will be gradually implemented in the near future and managed by an agency directly under the Heaven Department Public Security. The details of the funds will be made public and subject to public supervision."

"Until today, we are officially announcing this."

"We hope to build the peaceful and stable city we envision, and we are willing to provide martial artists with greater assistance, but this is based on compliance with the law."

"Ordinary people should not provoke martial artists unreasonably, and martial artists should not infringe on the social rights of ordinary people."

"The organizational structure of the Heaven Department will remain in place to prepare for the recurrence of similar incidents."

He calmly said these words on television.

Meanwhile, countless people in front of the television were in an uproar.

In modern society, conditions are limited, and the internet is not widespread, so the impact of what Lin Yan has done during this period has remained within a very limited scope.

Few people have heard of what the Heaven Department has done.

Li Haoyang shouted excitedly, "Mom, Chen Qin must have been arrested. He killed Dad and other coworkers back then, and now he's finally in trouble!"

The middle-aged woman remained silent, tears streaming down her face.

Who can I tell about all the suffering I've endured over the years?

After her husband died, she raised her child alone, earning his tuition fees and saving money to send him to university and get married.

She didn't even dare to mention those things.

This family can no longer endure any more hardship.

Her situation is not an isolated case; it has even become an unspoken rule in society, casting a shadow over the world.

At this moment, the unspoken rules are shattered, and the shadows are illuminated.

Light finally tore through the curtain and shone upon the world.

Lin Yan continued his speech, "The road to human progress is always fraught with difficulties and obstacles. We should believe that achieving self-evolution through the path of martial arts is an inevitable trend of our time."

"Through the unremitting efforts of the experimental team led by Academician Wen Xiuyong of the Huaxia Academy of Sciences, a new drug X gene capsule, has been invented."

"This drug can improve the efficiency of martial artists' gene optimization and lower the threshold for martial artists. With the strong support of the country, this drug will be officially launched on the market at a relatively low price, and has already received huge orders from other countries and Base City."

"To prevent the public from being unable to support consumption, we will provide educational subsidies for this drug, supplying it free of charge to students in limited quantities, and also providing it free of charge to Military families and descendants of combat heroes. We will establish a specific department to implement this and avoid practical problems."

"The goal is to promote the popularization of martial arts, accumulate human strength, and achieve our ultimate objective."

He was dressed in a black military uniform, his expression solemn, standing at attention and saluting.

"Reclaim our lost territory and rebuild our homes!"

Every word.

A clear, melodious voice echoed in the vast hall.

Every household watched the content on television, and countless people felt their blood boil as they saw that figure standing as straight as a javelin.

Their hearts seemed to drift towards that dangerous wilderness, which had once been fertile land for humankind.

They are at a historical juncture, between the past and the future.

Witnessing a turning point in the fate of Earth Humanity.

This storm quickly spread throughout the country and, as time went on, even reached the world. On this day, people in the Six Great Base Cities and across the country came to know this young Minister of the Heaven Department.

His name is Lin Yan.

Many people cannot empathize with what has been said above. If they haven't personally experienced it or haven't had any malicious thoughts, they can remain calm about these things.

However, the X gene capsule is different because it relates to the cultivation of martial artists.

Whether it's helping martial artists cultivate their Gene Energy or giving ordinary people a greater chance of becoming martial artists, it's something that's relevant to everyone in the world.

Moreover, the relatively low price mentioned by Lin Yan gave them even greater expectations.

Nowadays, there are similar high-energy substances, but they are either too expensive for most martial artists to afford, or they are expensive and their effects are not ideal.

However, the X gene capsule that can be officially announced in such an occasion is clearly not one of the two situations mentioned above.

Even many people who felt that the existence of the Heaven Department was offensive to the martial arts class, upon hearing this news, completely forgot about such an offense.

Everyone knows.

A new era has arrived!

As for Lin Yan, after the meeting, Old Zhou asked Lin Yan, "I heard from Councillor Jia that because of this matter, 13 War Gods surrounded and killed you in City No. 032."

"You're so young, why would you think of doing something that would take such a risk?"

The old man's expression showed great interest.

Lin Yan smiled and said, "I once heard a saying that true knowledge should move from books to reality, and true law is not just abstract logic, but the vivid stories of every individual."

"I will do it because I am capable of doing it."

"I will do it because it will ultimately lead to good results."

Lin Yan said gently, "If we keep talking about the future of humanity but ignore the stories of time unfolding in these myriad lights, then whose future is that?

Finally got this part of the plot sorted out.
