Chapter 1090: Chapter 656: Illusionary Realm Life (Part 2) Unifying the World_3

He took a useless rag from the ship and exchanged it for a piece of dog-head gold.

Using three steamed buns, he traded for a jade statue as tall as a calf.

Such a series of lectures were naturally pushed forward by Lu Lin behind the scenes.

Overseas seemed like a land overflowing with gold, and all the citizens of Qi Country couldn’t help but dream sweetly of riches.

One large ship after another set sail, heading to unknown seas.

Some ships encountered wind and waves and sank.

But more ships discovered new lands, islands, peoples, cultures, and wealth.

Lu Xian, as Lu Lin’s elder son, has stayed by Lu Lin’s side these years. While he didn’t learn much else, his opportunist methods truly reflect Lu Lin’s teachings.

He effortlessly established the Ocean Management Bureau, the demise of ocean trade, and simultaneously set up maritime protection forces. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Da Qi fifty years.

Lu Lin is eighty-five years old, his eyes are not dim, his hearing not lost. His energy is slightly less than twenty years ago, but compared to his peers, he fares quite well.

On this day, Lu Lin is also very pleased.

After his relentless efforts, the Craftsman Department finally produced an internal combustion engine.

This is not a simple piston cylinder, nor is it a preliminary application.

It’s an internal combustion engine.

A powerful core capable of propelling ships and trains.

Lu Lin knows Qi Country is about to soar from here on.

At this time, Lu Xian has also reached fifty years of age. He feels he is aging and sees how his father, mother, and siblings have found their life’s joys, so he simply resigns from the position of emperor, passing the throne to one of his sons.

He went to the Culture Bureau to serve as a special advisor.

This kid has been interested in Calligraphy and Painting since childhood, but everyone had high expectations for him, forcing him to hide his hobbies.

Now, after 25 years in power, he finally found a reason, saying he cannot surpass his father’s tenure, thus willingly stepping down to spend his days writing and painting at home, occasionally gathering with literary friends.

Lu Lin sees his character resembling the already deceased Lu Zhenweng, so he just smiles and lets him be.

Let him go.

Thinking about Lu Zhenweng, at this moment, Lu Lin suddenly feels some longing for life in Ping County.

He is already eighty-five years old, how many years does he have left?

The idea of returning to roots has appeared in Lu Lin’s mind more than once.

He immediately takes his wives back to Ping County to live in peace.

At ninety years old, his Big Wife, known as the Most Virtuous Empress, passes away in Lu Lin’s arms.

In the subsequent years, Lu Lin sees off all his wives.

They all leave this world peacefully in Lu Lin’s arms.

Each of their names leaves a rich mark in Da Qi’s historical records.

At ninety-eight, Lu Lin can no longer walk; his greatest joy each day is basking in the sun in the small courtyard.

His mind is somewhat muddled.

He can’t even remember if Lu Zhenweng is his grandfather or father.

At this time, all his memories from his Spiritual Strength and other gains are gradually forgotten in Lu Lin’s mind.

He can’t even say his own name.

During New Year’s, Lu Xian and several other children come to visit, but Lu Lin even tries to chase them away.

His children are all young and strong lads, how could they be these seventy or eighty-year-olds?

It’s truly shameless for these old men to pretend to be his sons.

Ninety-nine years old.

Lu Lin lies on his bed, struggling to breathe.

His eyes clear up, and his mind seems to return.

He looks at the sons, daughters, daughters-in-law, and sons-in-law, alongside numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren, sitting by his bedside, and smiles softly.

"I hope everyone is well, well indeed."

While saying so, Lu Lin slowly closes his eyes.

His vision turns black, and he doesn’t know how long it is before it brightens again.

He returns to the Secret Realm.

Looking at the Secret Realm, a hint of unfamiliarity flashes in Lu Lin’s eyes.

Once his Spiritual Strength returns, he adapts to it.

He is Lu Lin, Tester No. 11111, currently passing Levels 401-500.

He has lived peacefully to a hundred years old in the Life Illusion.

Consider it successfully completed.

But, is this hundred-year life truly just a dream?
