Resurrection Empire-Chapter 868 - 334: The Slow Demise of the Old Era, the Breath of Freedom (Part 3)

Ma Dafu: "But don't you think this is too far-fetched? The disparity in power between us and the enemy is enormous, I see no possibility of success."

"By conventional understanding, Old Ma, as a member of the Yangsheng Ma family, you are also a vested interest holder, and it's unlikely you would sympathize with the wasteland people. Yet not only have you achieved this, but Ma Xiaoling has done the same. Therefore, nothing is absolutely impossible in this world. You needn't worry, I am not reckless. For now, I will only share these ideas within the core circle of our team. To outsiders, I will still appear as a genius capitalist."

Ma Dafu: "But..."

"Old Ma, you must understand. People have an innate desire for fairness. Most wasteland people are currently in ignorance, and have become numb due to oppression since birth, but that doesn't mean deep down they accept their fate. Currently, my power seems weak, only eleven towns. But we are the torch, we will continuously inspire more people to be our allies. Our strength will grow stronger, while the ruling classes' strength will diminish. In this interplay, as long as the flame we ignite never extinguishes, we will surely achieve ultimate success. Any revolution starts with a small spark but eventually becomes a mighty force."

Ma Dafu shook his head repeatedly, "I don't understand what you're talking about. What is a revolution? Is it a change in the system? But in human history, there has never been..."

Ren Zhong: "That history is false. Whether it's the Origin Theory or the Millennium History of Source Star, it's all a facade. Although I have no concrete evidence, I believe Source Star's history spans only a mere thousand years. From the beginning, the Nine Major Groups have had a firm grip on everything. If the 'Net' had always existed, they could maintain control indefinitely. But now, the 'Net' is gone. Next, we will bide our time, constantly cultivating the wasteland people, continuously expanding my army. Awaiting an opportune moment, I will begin expansion as a conqueror. When I have the ability to challenge the entire era, or can ensure mutual destruction with the Association, then I will have the leverage to negotiate with them. Of course, negotiation is merely a guise; revolution must be thorough. Old Ma, I hope you understand, this isn't a hasty decision, but a result of my long contemplation. Regarding the great migration, I know more inside information than you. Now I can tell you..."

The citizen-born Old Ma holds a more comprehensive worldview, with a deeper-rooted reverence for the Source Star system, so he repeatedly questions Ren Zhong's viewpoint.

Yet he was truly one of Ren Zhong's people. Once he recognized Ren Zhong's unwavering dedication and that there was no turning back, he was ultimately convinced, choosing to join Ren Zhong's bold endeavor.

Next, Ren Zhong convened all his core subordinates including Ju Qingmeng, Yujin, Zheng Tian, Tang Shuying, Shi Xuan, Jiang Kai, and others.

At this meeting, Ren Zhong straightforwardly informed everyone of what had transpired, and unreservedly shared his ambition.

"In five years, we will govern the First Continent. Build an army absolutely loyal to me. And you all will be the original core team of my enterprise. When I was still destitute, I told you I wanted to eliminate the inequality in Starfire Town, I wanted the wasteland people there to live like humans, to avoid repeating the tragedies that befell you, to ensure every criminal pays the price. Now the scope has expanded, my vision is set on the entire world, the whole Source Star system. I will rewrite the history of civilization. When the 'Net' was watching, I couldn't speak these words openly, I had to keep them in my heart, while observing each of you. Now I can speak the truth and do genuine deeds, I also hope you will not disappoint me."

"In the distant future, when Source Star humans become a true civilization standing in the universe, our generation is destined to be remembered. Life is short, but we must live meaningfully. We can change this era! Do you understand my orders? Good, from now on, everyone return to your positions and complete the tasks you must finish. Within two weeks, gather an army of two hundred thousand for me! Remember, you must tell our soldiers the significance of their fight! Their battle is to protect their lives and those of their families! Failure means nothing, success means eternal glory!"

Having said all this, Ren Zhong personally turned another page in history.

From now on, the old era will undergo a gradual demise.

As for Ren Zhong, he finally was able to express his innermost thoughts, feeling the breath of freedom.
