Resurrection Empire-Chapter 1104 - 429: Flashback—The Possibility of Repairing the "Net" (2)

Yes, Ren Zhong wants to leave not only technology and resources to Source Star, but also a management system with the Ren Group as its framework.

As for whether the Ren Group will transform into a new evil dragon by then?

Ren Zhong thinks not.

He has two major reasons.

First, this is a power structure he personally created, and he has been continuously screening the personnel.

Second, he is not dead yet. As long as he is alive, even if the distance is measured in light years and the return takes decades, he himself remains the Damocles' sword hanging over the head of the Ren Group. With his own deterrence and restraint, Source Star's civilization will not be led into an absolutely monopolistic society by overly developed technology again.

In fact, at this moment, Ren Zhong really wants to let out a long sigh.

Although he has found a new revolutionary path of the Emperor, he personally doesn't like this path, but he has no choice.

He closed his eyes, his mind filled with chaotic thoughts.

Many memories surged in his heart.

From the moment he first awoke in the dense forest, to the years when he took root and grew in Starfire Town, gradually expanding, and then later constantly encroaching and seizing the enemy's resources, conquering lands, rapidly developing and growing, and eventually destroying the "net"...

He walked step by step forward, reaching today.

He did many things he didn't want to do, and even became the person he didn't want to be, but it was all worth it because he ultimately remained true to his heart.

In the end, he merely used the information stolen from time to spread a huge lie, accomplishing something he never dared to imagine before.

The process seemed simple, as though it was just the work of a moment, and even in this "BOSS battle" of the timeline, there was not a single serious fight or bloodshed with bayonets.

But the crux of the problem lay here, the power of the frozen Elders was too great. By dealing with the old icicles, everything was solved from the top down.

In mythology, there are devout followers who bow in front of the Buddha's statue their whole life, just to hear a decree from the Buddha.

Even if the Buddha only says "Amitabha," the follower who hears this can achieve enlightenment and peacefully pass away in fulfillment.

To this follower, his lifelong waiting seems futile, ultimately gaining nothing and not even becoming a Buddha, but who can say his actions had no meaning?

At least he himself was satisfied.

In his own heart, even just the moment of great satisfaction before his death was worth his lifetime of piety.

Ren Zhong's actions bear some resemblance to that devout follower, enduring countless hardships to reach the end, yet without any grandiosity, and simply performing a show, debating with the "Buddha" on the art of acting, achieving his goal and saving billions of lives.

But Ren Zhong and the follower have an essential difference. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

He wasn't there to worship the Buddha, he was there to become the Buddha and demolish Spirit Mountain.

On Spirit Mountain, there were originally nine great Buddhas.

Each of the nine great Buddhas governs a celestial realm, ruling over the world.

By now, among these nine great Buddhas, a new Buddha has been added, with a golden, radiant appearance and a supreme aura.

But this new Buddha is a false Buddha.

Inside the new Buddha's appearance, what lies within is the blood-red Asura Body symbolizing the suffering of all living beings.

...

Ding ding ding...

The doorbell of the suite rang.

Ren Zhong flicked his fingers, and a video projection appeared before his eyes, revealing Ma Zhongfei, the founder of Deep Communication Group, standing outside the door.

"Come in."

Ren Zhong instructed.

The door in front of Ma Zhongfei opened automatically, and he quickly stepped inside.

Before Ma Zhongfei could speak, Ren Zhong said first, "Are you here because of the 'net'?"

Ma Zhongfei first looked surprised, then immediately nodded respectfully, "Indeed, Angel Envoy, your insight is extraordinary."

Ren Zhong pointed to the chair beside, "Sit."

Then he added, "It shouldn't just be your own intention, right? Others have nominated you to come here, thinking that my relationship with your offspring, Ma Xiaocheng, is the purest, without any conflicts of interest, and the cooperation has always been pleasant. Plus, you have analyzed my way of dealing with matters, predicting that among all your successors, Ma Xiaocheng is likely the one I appreciate the most. My deep connection with your collateral descendant, Ma Xiaoling, also makes you the most appropriate person to talk to me, right?"

"Angel Envoy, you are indeed incredibly insightful," Ma Zhongfei exclaimed, appearing astonished.

"Just simple human relations," Ren Zhong said, raising the cup of tea in front of him. "Speak your mind without hiding anything. When I was learning to become an Imperial Apostle, my mentor once told me: 'When an object of your scrutiny hesitates to speak, they are often trying to hide some crucial information to achieve some unspeakable purpose.'"
