The Last Sentinel

"All things pass by in haste, and life's regrets flow eastward like water."

"The white-haired general draws his bow at night, his life filled with resentment leading to this day. He cannot be loyal to either the handsome emperor or the emperor. His merits in the chaotic world are recorded in history, yet he cannot be granted a peaceful grave. In the end, all things come to naught, so how can there be a good end..."

A cold wind was blowing. Brother Eighty stood on the city wall, playing his harmonica, his gaze fixed on the west, in the direction of the perfect city.

"Chairman!" Xu Chu walked to his side. "Seventh Brother is calling a meeting."

Brother Eighty hesitated, then asked, "Old Xu, what do you think of that bastard Hua Xiaobai? How's he doing now?"

Xu Chu said, "They should be dead by now! Of the 8800 people who came in with us, more than 5,000 died in battle. Of the remaining 3,000, almost all of the survivors are now in the fortress. We haven't heard from Hua Xiaobai for so long, he should be dead by now."

Brother Eighty said with a hint of melancholy, "When people die, we remember their good deeds; when people are gone, we remember their affections. I've been reflecting on this lately, and I've realized that I still value money too much and my motivations are too profit-driven. Back then, Hua Xiaobai sidelined me and messed with me, but it wasn't all his fault. I also had my problems."

Xu Chu was stunned for a moment. "Wait, President, do you have masochistic syndrome? Hua Xiaobai is messing with you like this, and you're saying it's your fault?"

Brother Eighty sighed, "You don't know this! I have a problem, I like mature women."

Xu Chu was a little confused. "There's nothing wrong with that! Liking a minor is illegal!"

Eighty-Brother stamped his foot and gritted his teeth, saying, "I mean, I love married women!"

Xu Chu blinked. "Is there something wrong with Hua Xiaobai?"

Brother Eighty sighed, "When the [Support the Han Dynasty] guild was established, there was a woman among the core members who was incredibly beautiful. Several people in the core group liked her very much, including Hua Xiaobai and me."

Xu Chu suddenly realized, "Oh, so you used your money to beat that woman to a pulp? And then, because of this woman, Hua Xiaobai turned against you and tried to undermine you?"

Brother Eighty stamped his foot and said, "I never intended to get involved with that woman! She came to me herself! She flirted with me offline, and I'm the kind of person who can't resist married women, so I fell for it. Only afterwards did I find out that she was a divorced young woman bribed by the leader of the opposing guild, [Jiangdong Overlord], to sow discord among our guild's higher-ups. Later, I decisively dumped her, but that idiot Hua Xiaobai was blinded by love and said I had abandoned his goddess! Damn it! He even said that if I didn't treat his goddess well, he would make me regret it. I didn't think this guy could do anything to me back then, but now look, he really makes me regret it..."

Hearing the chairman's words, Xu Chu couldn't help but sigh, "Boss, why didn't you tell Xiao Bai that the woman was a spy?!"

Brother Eighty spread his hands. "I told you, I've clarified things to Xiaobai so many times, but he wouldn't believe me! I even gave him that woman's address so he could verify it himself, but he just wouldn't believe me, saying I slandered his goddess! Who knew he'd ruin my guild for a woman! Damn it! Millions of dollars, all my hard work and foundation! All destroyed because of this woman!"

Xu Chu couldn't help but slap his thigh. "I just don't understand! What's so great about women? Is there anything more exciting than fighting? What were you and Hua Xiaobai thinking? If you two could be like me and Awei, with everyone enjoying fighting, our guild would have dominated the server long ago, and we would have turned 'Jiangdong Overlord' into 'Jiangdong Jerry'!"

Brother Eighty sighed, "When I was a child, a fortune teller told my fortune, saying that my destiny was one of 'one general's success built on the bones of ten thousand'!"

"Looking at it now, that's really the case."

"Hua Xiaobai is dead. My relationship with Xiaobai is like Cao Cao meeting Guo Jia. If Guo Jia hadn't died, Cao Cao wouldn't have achieved great things. If Xiaobai hadn't died, I would have had a hard time rising to prominence."

"All things pass by in haste, and life's regrets flow eastward like water."

Just then, Dian Wei shouted, "Hey, guild leader, Xu Chu, the meeting's starting!"

Brother Eighty said, "Here they come, here they come!"

The frozen fortress, the main conference hall, was filled with more than three thousand people.

"Silence, silence, meeting is now in session!"

Old Seven, dressed in a drab gray construction worker's outfit, walked onto the platform in a very down-to-earth manner.

Since Qi Tian was recognized by Ye Feng and became the Holy Son of Civil Engineering, his life has undergone earth-shattering changes.

Qi Tian became confident and courageous, no longer timid and he made full use of the [Severed Heaven and Earth Connection] to start his academic sprint.

First, Qi Tian accepted Ye Feng's greatest legacy—the fortress altar.

Before Qi Tian arrived, no one knew what the Sentinels wanted to do with this altar.

When Qi Tian arrived, he immediately exclaimed that his senior brother was incredibly awesome for being able to create such a thing. In the following days, Qi Tian devoted himself to modifying and repairing the altar in the fortress, and finally, it was completed today.

Qi Tian raised his hand and pointed, and a huge altar phantom appeared on the massive frost wall behind him.

The entire altar follows the design of the ancient Chinese founding ceremony, with nine steps and five layers, a giant cauldron standing tall, Han banners fluttering, and array flags stamped on it with patterns all over, making it look incredibly mysterious at first glance.

Qi Tian raised his hand and pointed, and saw that the flags on the image showed a series of markings.

Golden Banner [Golden Benefit] Attribute.

The red flag has the attribute "Lava Inferno".

The black banner has the attribute "Ore Vein Guide".

The blue flag has the attribute of "Graceful Rain".

The white banner has the attribute "Frost Condensation".

……

Qi Tian pointed to the altar projection behind him and said, "Before I begin, I must reiterate that Feng Shui is not superstition; it is a science, and moreover, a theology within science!"

"My senior colleague, Sentinel, and I are both civil engineers. There's an old saying in civil engineering: a master feng shui master isn't necessarily an architect, but a master architect is definitely a great feng shui master!"

"To get back to the main point, as you can see from the altar projection, I have been re-sorting the elements and summarizing the attributes of the altar left by my senior brother these past few days, and I have obtained the above answer. These attributes and elements are the basic elements of this secondary ancient continent, and also the core elements that constitute the original will of the continental plate. By fusing these elements, we can obtain all kinds of power."

"Using my knowledge of Feng Shui and the teachings of my senior brother, I reconstructed the Feng Shui of the supernatural abilities that appeared on the secondary continent!"

"For example, the [Power of Cause and Effect] is shaped by light + fate + rules [Power of Nightmare] + water + void + spirit [Power of Return to Nothingness] + [Chrysalis of Creation]."

"The power of the curse is water + metal + earth + the rule of dream sound + water + wind + light + the rule of curse."

"【Imaginary Power】is Gold + Lightning + Spirit + Rule 【Mirage】 + Water + Light + Rule 【Mirror of Fate】."

"As long as we can deconstruct the components of the primordial will, we can dismantle the area radiated by the primordial will!"

"Of course, the Neanderthals aren't fools. They've made thorough preparations for this. They've sealed off the main gathering places of the basic attributes in four locations: three branch bases and one core base. The core base is the Perfect City."

"Therefore, what we need to do is destroy these four locations. Once these four locations are destroyed, the altar can directly disintegrate the primordial will of this continent, and then transform this primordial will into one suitable for us Homo sapiens to fight with, allowing the Human Alliance army to descend and crush the Neanderthals!"

"That's all I have to say. That's roughly the situation."

After Qi Tian finished speaking, he spread his hands and looked down at the audience.

Of the more than 3,000 people in the audience, while not all looked completely bewildered, roughly half were confused and the other half were dozing off.

The bewildered people stared at the dazzling array of symbols and formulas on the screen, recalling the fear of being ruled by the Sentinels.

At that time, the Sentinel had just joined the Human Alliance and was reckless, directly staging a decisive battle against God's formula. I don't know how many people's brain cells were strained from watching that day.

Now, Sentinel's junior colleague has organized an academic seminar for 3,000 people, which has completely shut down everyone's brains.

Everyone can imagine that, in Qi Tian's eyes at this moment, they are no different from monkeys in a zoo, drooling and waving at tourists.

Whether it's mathematics or feng shui architecture, these are not fields that ordinary people should be involved in; these are places where geniuses can freely unleash their talents.

You brought us to your track, but did you consider how we, these monkeys who have just been born, feel?

They all look like people, but they are not all the same kind of people!

The man in the front row, nicknamed "Eighty," couldn't stand it any longer and stood up, coughing, "Seventh Brother, actually, what you're saying, how should I put it, doesn't quite fit our style. Everyone here plays games, everyone's in the gaming industry. Use some gaming jargon, don't make it so complicated, it's really confusing us!"

Upon hearing this, those around him echoed his sentiments.

Qi Tian blinked and chuckled, "Sorry! Let me use gaming terminology to explain what we're going to do next."

"Everyone here has played Honor of Kings and League of Legends, right?"

"What happens next is very simple!"

"We need to destroy four towers: the three high-ground towers and the crystal of Perfect City."

"So, we'll split into five lanes: the bottom lane, the mid lane, the top lane, the jungle lane, and the support lane."

"Among these roles, the bottom lane, top lane, and mid lane have fixed tasks, while the jungler and support are considered guerrilla positions."

"The support role is responsible for drawing aggro and absorbing the aggro of the Perfect City's main force!"

"The jungler needs to support all three lanes and finish the game quickly."

"With a three-pronged attack, advancing from all three directions, once we capture the high ground tower and the crystal, our fountain can spread directly to their high ground. Then, the fountain will flood their high ground, and our various armies can ride this raging wave of fountain water to storm their final fountain base!"

After he finished speaking, everyone applauded.

"So that's what happened!"

"You should have said so earlier! I'm invincible in the bottom lane, I'm coming to the bottom lane!"

"I'm a top laner, the best top laner in the Chinese server, a 0/18 Lu Bu player requesting to play!"

"I'm great at supporting others, and I'm really good at drawing aggro!"

"I'll play jungle; this jungle king position must be taken by this handsome guy..."
