Light Fortress Chapter 2108 - 103: The Gift of Fire (2)

The Red Dragon lowered his voice and tapped the table.

With one glance, he could discern who was who, and which figure belonged to whom.

"The rules of the Ancient Literature Society are like this."

Lin Lin shrugged and said, "By age, I’m just a newcomer... When I joined, Senior ’031’ told me to follow the rules; you should remember how it was back then, right?"

In this meeting room, only one person’s demeanor differed from the rest.

That was 031, Zhou Jiren.

"Aha..."

Zhou Jiren, appearing in the meeting room as a young man, involuntarily opened his mouth, then realized that changing his tone for protective measures had lost its significance.

The members of the Ancient Literature Society concealed their faces because they feared being discovered by [Deep Sea].

But now, the Deep Sea war was over.

The [Main System] was killed by Gu Shen, and the [Source Code] had taken over the vast spirit network... There’s no need for Ancient Literature Society members to hide anymore.

"I certainly remember the scene back then; you, brat, didn’t show me any respect when you entered the meeting room."

Zhou Jiren spoke with a smile, eyes full of emotion.

"Who would have known... that the renowned East Province Grand Judge would appear in secret meetings as a young lad?" Lin Lin replied helplessly, "You can’t blame me for that."

"Alright then..."

Feeling helpless, Zhou Jiren hesitated for a moment before stretching out his hand to cover his face and gently removed that layer of misty illusion.

"Years ago, in the spiritual conference room of the Ancient Literature Society, everyone chatted face-to-face honestly, gathering from all around."

"Back then, ’masking’ wasn’t a thing."

Zhou Jiren muttered, "I always hoped this meeting room would return to its original state."

"Today, that moment has finally come, but regrettably... Many old companions have already vanished."

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions turned somber.

So many hurdles along the way.

The "old timers" once at the meetings mostly have fallen.

"Don’t be sad; we still have you all, don’t we?"

Zhou Jiren hurriedly said with a smile: "We old folks’ wishes are fulfilled, what could be a better outcome?"

He was quite satisfied.

"Teacher."

Gu Shen gently said, "We’ve been waiting for your return. During the years you were away, the Ancient Literature Society has grown strong again... In Da Du, in Changye, and all over the world, there are members of the Ancient Literature Society."

He waved his hand, and Chu Ling projected the spirit projection onto the table.

The collapse of Sangzhou Cave led the [Neutral] organization to be moved to Da Du, where it quickly took root and began to expand its membership.

Over the years, the Ancient Literature Society gathered power and became a force to reckon with!

Lu Nanzhi’s Huazhi Group, relying on the "Extraordinary Inventions" provided by the Ancient Literature Society, dominated the new era, leading way ahead. Currently, a vast majority of popular Extraordinary Objects and sealed items come from research by the [Neutral] organization.

This scene left Zhou Jiren in a trance.

Is this not the Ancient Literature Society Turing wanted to create?

Using the Ancient Language Power to give life purpose and create useful things.

"My father’s dying wish... was for Huazhi to become what it is today."

Lu Nanzhi softly said, "If he were alive to see this, he’d surely be happy."

The Red Dragon, who had also left the Five Continents, seeing this scene, was equally stunned.

"If Mr. Lu Cheng were still alive," the Red Dragon stated earnestly, "he would certainly be proud of you."

Beside Lu Nanzhi, another "figure" joined this meeting.

It was Lu Nanjin.

The existence of the Ancient Literature Society has long been no secret to Nan Jin.

She’s both Zhou Jiren’s disciple and Lu Nanzhi’s sister. Over the years, she acted in Da Du, silently contributing and accomplishing various tasks for the Ancient Literature Society.

At this moment, Lu Nanjin quietly patted her sister’s shoulder.

"It’s wonderful..."

Seeing Gu Shen’s projection of the Ancient Literature Society, Zhou Jiren smiled happily; all these years, he had never been so happy.

"Gu Shen."

The Red Dragon took a deep breath. Though he was unwilling to disrupt such a warm atmosphere, he knew...

This meeting wasn’t held just to share such comforting news.

Thus, he cast an inquiring look towards the head of the long table: "Shall we discuss the matter?"

"That matter?"

"What matter?"

As the words left his mouth.

The expressions of those around the long table changed dramatically, showing confusion and bewilderment.

With the war over, all continents are in "post-war reconstruction."

North Continent, East Continent, and West Continent are orderly as usual.

The only trouble is with the Southern Continent and Central Continent.

After the war, many Storm Church members in the Southern Continent were left "homeless." They had completely lost their faith; initially willing to pretend support for the Source Tower due to the war, it has now collapsed... Meng Xizhou led members of the Light Temple, using the Holy Book to convert the "fanatics" of the Storm Church. Their aim is not to cultivate Light Sect members, but to prevent fanatics from launching retaliatory attacks inland, causing "panic."

As for the Central Continent, after taking over [Deep Sea], Chu Ling found that after five years of war, the main system had turned the Central Continent into a war fortress. In order to resist Heavenly Sheath weapons and complete final evolution, it had not only constructed numerous high walls but also sacrificed originally prosperous coastal ports, such as Rhein City, which was once a major trade hub now directly abandoned.
