The ceremony at Huasheng Academy was postponed for a long time this year, but that doesn't mean there were few people coming to watch. It can be said that most of the forces in Zhongzhou sent people to watch the ceremony.

The pilgrimage has begun, and all participants are among the most outstanding geniuses in Tianzhou.

“Mi Tan’er of the Fuxi clan abstained from the contest.”

"Ji Jingyun of the Shennong clan abstained."

"The Suiren clan's Suiren Aoxue abdicated."

Three voices rang out in succession, all from the three great divine emperor families who had abstained, and all of them were girls.

As for the reason, some people have already guessed it. The recent invasion by alien races has put the entire power of China in jeopardy. Due to the entanglement of interests among various forces, the alliance has become very uncertain. Strengthening power relations through marriage is the most common way, so these people are very likely to be recalled to their families in advance.

Besides the three great divine emperor families, other forces also had people who abstained, but Hua Sheng Academy still had a solution: make up the numbers according to battle merits. Only one hundred people were needed, no, one hundred and one people!

This pilgrimage was led by a powerful figure, and Jiang Yuan was very familiar with this figure: the companion god of the Emperor Star.

Let's go!

The companion goddess did not focus her attention on Jiang Yuan. When she opened a spatial rift, she turned around and stepped into it.

The pilgrimage route is not entirely on the Imperial Star, but rather half is located in the Central Plains of China and half is in the void. It is more like a route that has existed on the Imperial Star since ancient times, full of a sense of vicissitude and antiquity.

When Jiang Yuan stepped into this place, he had a sense of familiarity. The space that Ning Yanlan had led him into had the same aura, and now this aura had reappeared. This meant that the pilgrimage path was very likely opened up by the companion god himself.

However, the actions of the companion god quickly confirmed his thoughts. After entering, the companion god leisurely disappeared into the air. In the blink of an eye, the companion god had completely vanished, as if it had reached the end.

Once the companion god disappeared, the entire pilgrimage route was flooded with void beasts. This was no longer a pilgrimage route; it was a path of survival.

"How about it, want to come along?" Gu Anlei stood in front of Jiang Yuan, her tone not exactly friendly.

Jiang Yuan's gaze remained fixed on the spot where the Companion God had disappeared. He knew the purpose of the Companion God's entry here: to bury Ning Yanlan's memories. In other words, once the Companion God succeeded, Ning Yanlan would cease to exist. Even if she was reborn, the Ning Yanlan without memories would be a new life, not the Ning Yanlan of the past.

"Brother Jiang?"

Xie Chuan waved his hand in front of Jiang Yuan, which brought Jiang Yuan back to his senses.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yuan asked, snapping out of his daze.

"Since Senior Sister Mi didn't come, you're all alone now, aren't you? Why don't you join us? Our team is short one spot," Xie Chuan extended an invitation.

Xie Chuan's team originally consisted of Gu Anlei, Lin Siyin, Xie Chuan, Meng Xin, and Ji Jingyun. However, Ji Jingyun has now been recalled to the Shennong Clan, so the five-person team is now one person short. Jiang Yuan's team only has Mi Tan'er as a partner. It can be said that the two teams can just form one team.

"What do you guys think?" Xie Chuan asked the other three girls, worried that they might disagree.

"That's great! I welcome Brother Jiang to join us!"

Lin Siyin definitely agreed.

Immediately following was Meng Xin's statement: "I heard you are my sister's favorite student. I'll get to know you better and see how you are. I need to keep an eye on things for my sister."

The sister Meng Xin was referring to was naturally Liu Zhaodi. She was one of the few people who suspected Jiang Yuan's identity. After all these years, her sister had never looked at other men differently, but she took special care of Jiang Yuan, who looked exactly like her and even had the same name.

Don't look at me!

All eyes immediately turned to Gu Anlei. After she finished speaking, she casually said, "I don't care. Anyway, it's just the men in the team who do the work."

"Unanimously approved." Xie Chuan looked at Jiang Yuan expectantly. In the previous team, he served four young ladies all by himself. Although there was one less now, he was already tired enough. He was more than happy to have another male comrade to share the burden.

Jiang Yuan glanced at the void beasts that kept emerging around him. Even if he absorbed divine blood throughout the entire process, it would be difficult for him to cope with such a situation. Fighting with the team was the wisest choice.

"They're not willing, forget it, let's go!" Gu Anlei looked at Jiang Yuan, who was still making a decision, with great indignation, and turned to leave.

"Gu, we have such a strong bond of camaraderie, how can you just abandon me like this!" Jiang Yuan put aside his mature attitude. The average age of this team was only eighteen or nineteen, and he didn't want to make the team feel lifeless.

"I have no right to abandon you. Just two days ago, I personally took you to pick up girls," Gu Anlei said irritably.

"Chasing girls?"

Lin Siyin and the others looked puzzled, then pressed, "Wait a minute, aren't you two a couple?"

"Alright, alright, let's deal with the Void Beasts first, then we can talk later!" Jiang Yuan commanded.

"good!"

Lin Siyin and the other two had no objections and set off with their weapons. Only Gu Anlei gritted her teeth and said indignantly, "I knew you only joined us because you were a free bodyguard!"

Jiang Yuan: "..."

Jiang Yuan was speechless at that sentence, because it was precisely for this reason that he needed a quiet environment to sort out his tribulation-crossing method, and Gu Anlei's group was currently the most stable, definitely a good support. Moreover, Gu Anlei knew a lot about the pilgrimage route, so going to her was definitely the right thing to do; even at the source, she knew the news.

That was the original purpose of training Gu Anlei, and he would never give up on it.
