This is the beginning... and the end.
The simulation is about to conclude.
Ian could only see a series of broken, drifting visions.
He saw that after becoming the Lord of Harrison Port, he exerted immense effort to develop new technologies and production facilities, much like he did in constructing Xiawei Territory. Although he received no investments, by exploiting the Redwood Natives and engaging in strategic deception with the People of the Fiery Flame Land to secure resources, he succeeded in turning Harrison Port into a sturdy fortress amidst the chaos of the South Ridge.
The Empire hoped he would be the beginning of stability in the South Ridge, while the Fiery Flame Land hoped he might truly pledge allegiance to them.
In the turbulence, the boy grew into a man, continuously growing stronger...
Within these fragments, the real Ian saw it all.
