“We won!”
“We won.”
“We won the war against the demons.”
In the world, loud cheers could be heard in cities, mountains, and canyons. The world celebrated!
After the three sects confirmed their victory, they spread the news to the world, bringing delight to the world. Celebrations were held everywhere.
Archean Mountain, Blood Red Cliff.
Godfiend disciples gathered here. Even the extremely aged Li Guan was awakened.
“I don’t have much sleeping time left. I thought I wouldn’t be able to see the day of victory.” The white-haired and wrinkled Li Guan arrived at Blood Red Cliff with Qin Wu, Luo Tang, and Meng An accompanying him. They stood at the edge.
“The final battle happened very suddenly. When I saw the three Heaven Earth realm demon sages enter, with one immediately becoming an Imperial Lord. I was a little flustered,” said Luo Tang with a smile. “Who would’ve thought that even a newly-advanced demon Imperial Lord would be so weak in front of Meng Chuan? It was instantly reduced to dust.”
Qin Wu smiled as well. “Meng Chuan did say that the demons would just be sending themselves to their deaths, even if a perfected Imperial Lord entered.” “What realm is Meng Chuan currently at?” asked Li Guan secretly.
“I asked him,” said Qin Wu with a smile. “He said that he’s stronger than newly-advanced Tribulation Eminences.”
Li Guan’s eyes widened as he stared at Qin Wu. Following that, the duo laughed.
Luo Tang and Meng An smiled as they listened.
“Meng Chuan is here,” said Luo Tang.
Meng Chuan walked over from afar. It was still his Essence Soul avatar. His white hair draped over his shoulders as he walked over alone.
Li Guan’s old eyes looked at Meng Chuan, but he could sense a deathly aura coming from Meng Chuan. As someone who didn’t have long to live, Li Guan could sense this very clearly. Meng Chuan walked closer and nodded at the Supremacies. “Dad.” Meng An walked to Meng Chuan’s side. “Meng Chuan,” said Li Guan with an old voice as he carefully stared at Meng Chuan. “before I went into my slumber, you weren’t like this. Why are you now…”
“It’s nothing. It’s just a form of cultivation,” said Meng Chuan.
In the Ancient Magus River Zone, Emperor Roc had already left the Chaos Hole. Emperor Roc could clearly sense that Meng Chuan was in no way inferior to him in terms of technique realm. With the time both sides had to cultivate, he probably wouldn’t be able to leave, even if he wanted to continue stalling for time.
Meng Chuan left the Chaos Hole and was no longer affected by it. However, it was very difficult to change one’s mental state.
Li Guan nodded slightly. “Yes, it’s all cultivation. Living is also cultivation.”
Archean Mountain’s Supremacies turned their heads to look into the distance because the celebration ceremony had begun.
The current Archean Mountain Lord was King Sword Nine. As for many of the older Regis Godfiends, they had already entered slumbers.
The purple-robed King Sword Nine’s prestige had increased. He solemnly said to the surrounding Godfiends, “I’m the fifth Archean Mountain Lord since the war between the demons and the humans began. I stand here before you, very proud to announce to everyone that we humans have won this war!”
“We won!”
“We won! We won!”
The Blood Red Cliff was filled with excited cheers. Many white-haired old Godfiends teared as they cried out in excitement.
Whoosh.
Countless Godfiend phantoms suddenly appeared beside Blood Red Cliff. The area fell silent. The Godfiends present stared, searching for figures they were familiar with.
The incumbent Archean Mountain Lord continued, “There are 17,101 Godfiends here. All of them fought the demons to protect humanity. Out of them, 13,208 Godfiends were killed in action. Only 3,000 Godfiends managed to live to the end of their lifespans, but they also fought the demons their entire lives.
“All Godfiends that sacrificed for this war will live in our memories forever. Our Archean Mountain will forever remember them.”
Meng Chuan watched everything silently. On Blood Red Cliff, he saw many familiar figures—King True Martial, Senior Brother Xue Feng, and his wife, Liu Qiyue…
According to Archean Mountain’s past rules, once a Regis Godfiend entered a slumber, they were publicly pronounced dead. This allowed the Godfiends’ upper echelons to know that these ancient Godfiends haven’t actually died. However, Archean Mountain still followed the preexisting rules because every slumbering Godfiend wasn’t far from the end of their lifespans.
In the images, Meng Chuan, Yan Chitong, Yan Jin, and company couldn’t be seen. However, one could see Liu Qiyue.
Qiyue. Meng Chuan saw his wife— Liu Qiyuestill in her prime amidst the numerous Godfiend images. She was dressed in a cyan-red robe, making her look dazzling. She even had a divine bow and quiver on her back as she smiled brightly.
Meng Chuan knew that his wife had been smiling at him back then.
Qiyue, we won this war. Meng Chuan thought to himself, The oath we made back then has been fulfilled.
That night, the still young man and woman had made a life-long promise. Back then, even the two of them felt that their goal was a stretch. They were prepared to die in battle. But now, he continued advancing towards his goal, risking his life to advance, and he had succeeded.
Brother. Yan Jin stood among the Godfiends and stared at a young man amidst the Godfiend projections. It was Xue Feng. Brother, everything’s fine. Everything in the world is fine. Yan Jin stared at the figure, who had taken care of him since he was young.
He managed to walk out of his former state partly because of his wife and everything that Meng Chuan had said about King Calm Sea, but it was mainly because of his elder brother!
The World Gap.
King Calm Sea, whose entire body was like ice, sat there silently. Ever since he received news that they had won the war, he had been sitting here. Now, he didn’t look like a human at all. His body was like a sculpture made of deep cyan ice.
We won. King Calm Sea finally grinned. We finally won.
He slowly stood up. As a sinner, I’ll continue patrolling the World Gap. My 300-year sentence isn’t up. King Calm Sea walked through the lonely World Gap. Now that the World Gap was completely stable, all the treasures produced had long been taken away. He couldn’t observe a forming world while meditating, so even demons seldom came here.
King Calm Sea was the only living being in the World Gap.
Other than the Godfiends from the sect, many ordinary Godfiends-who could only be considered outer sect disciples—had fought the demons. Many died in battle. “Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Wang, Senior Sister Li… Also, Junior Sister, I’m here to visit everyone.” A white-haired elder was sitting in a cemetery. He muttered, “In the past two months, my eyes have become worse. As a Godfiend who can’t even see clearly, I’m probably going to join you guys underground.
“However, I came with good news today. We won the war against the demons. We won. The world will be completely peaceful in the future. Junior Sister, I said that I’ll marry you after we swapped defenses. However, I didn’t manage to see you again. I owe this to you.
“I didn’t marry again. I’ve been fighting the demons my entire life. Now that the war has been won, I don’t need to fight anymore. I’m relieved,” muttered the white-haired elder as he drank his alcohol.
Unknowingly, he fell asleep leaning on the tombstone.
An eternal slumber.
Too many people in the world were thrilled about this day’s arrival. This was because many people had sacrificed too much for this war.
