The companion god was gone, but what remained was a group of enraged void beasts rushing towards Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan chuckled self-deprecatingly at the words of his companion god, but the self-deprecation quickly turned into a strong fighting spirit. He drew his Gentleman's Sword, pointed it forward, and said firmly, "This time I'm back, and no one can bury me!"

"I am the Soul of War!"

Accompanying the roar was a giant swastika, and the eternal battlefield spirit descended once more, causing the entire imperial planet to tremble.

The world seemed to be cheering, as if welcoming the world's only king. At this moment, countless people looked up.

"He's back!"

Zhongzhou, Tianzhou, Wuzhou, Guzhou, Lizhou—anyone who came from that era shared the same thought: the man who died in battle at the source of Nancheng has returned.

If the apocalypse five years ago marked a turning point in a new era, then now is the cusp of a new era, a sign that a great age is about to begin.

That man opened the battlefield with his own hands, and he will also personally push the battlefield to its peak.

"Five years ago, I pierced the sky with the tip of my spear; five years later, I am willing to cut through this dark firmament with the edge of my sword once more!"

With the Holy Demon Wings unfurled, Jiang Yuan displayed his strength without reservation, revealing his true form as the Grim Reaper who had previously concealed himself.

He not only wanted to announce to the world that Jiang Yuan had returned, but that he had returned carrying the will of all living beings.

"South City, immortal. The vow endures forever!"

Five years later, Jiang Yuan once again uttered that unfamiliar word that was forever engraved in his soul. Yes, it was the oath, the oath of Nancheng.

"kill!"

Despite facing millions of enemies, Jiang Yuan still charged towards the Void Beast Legion without hesitation.

"It's him!"

Meng Xin felt as if she were in another world. Although she was young at the time, it was undeniable that Jiang Yuan's influence on her was enough to change her life forever.

“Xin’er from Nancheng was absent back then, but this time, Xin’er will not be absent again!”

Meng Xin stood up from the ground, along with the sword in her hand. She was willing to risk her life to show no reverence for the god, because in her heart, there was only one god before her.

With him, there is a god!

"Brother Jiang, I've been waiting for you!"

Without hesitation, Li Fei followed Meng Xin out. He had sensed Jiang Yuan's return in Ancheng last time and had long been prepared to follow in Jiang Yuan's footsteps, so he didn't hesitate at all at this moment.

“And me!” Lin Siyin stopped kneeling and stood up straight, saying with unprecedented determination, “You pulled me out of the abyss, so I am prepared to fall back into it.”

"It's not just for Brother Jiang, but also for our true selves!" Xie Chuan made the same choice. He wanted to stand up. The word "kneel" had never existed in Zhu Yan's dictionary.

"What is there to fear in death? Kneeling is the only true death!"

The two joined forces and charged towards the Void Beast Legion. Even if it was like throwing an egg against a rock, they had no regrets.

The others remained kneeling, knowing full well the meaning of the saint's last words: those who did not revere the gods would die here.

However, the top geniuses present had a different understanding.

"If the true self in my heart cannot stand up, the god above my head will never fall!" Baili Yifeng repeated Jiang Yuan's words over and over again, his hidden fighting spirit was completely ignited.

"That's right, if the true self within cannot stand up, when will the gods above fall from the sky!"

Baili Yifeng's hand holding the sword trembled. Almost at the same time, he cut off his own hair and resolutely picked up the sword to walk towards the battle that he was sure to die.

If the soul is dead, what is the meaning of its existence?

Therefore, he chose to pursue the path in his heart.

"Kneel? Kneel my ass! Even my parents don't kneel at home. How am I supposed to face them if I kneel down today!"

The sixth person to stand up was not a strongman, but one of the men who had previously supported Jiang Yuan. He stood up cursing and picked up his weapon to join the battle against the Void Beast.

"Damn it!"

The trio stood up together in perfect unison.

At this point, no one stood up anymore; those who remained chose to live on their knees.

No one mocked them, because the instinct to seek life and avoid death is natural. It can only be said that they lacked the awareness to do so; they were just ordinary members of the vast sea of ​​humanity.

The only one who seemed lost was Gu Anlei. She didn't know what choice to make. On one side was her master, and on the other was her friend. Whatever she chose would put her in a difficult position.

"Jiang Yuan, I'm sorry, I can't let Master suffer endless loneliness alone."

Gu Anlei did not stand up until the very end. After awakening her Holy Soul, she already knew about the existence of the Companion God, but she still made this choice. She could only trust her intuition.

Few people fought alongside Jiang Yuan, and even fewer could offer any help in the battle. But from the very beginning, Jiang Yuan had planned to fight the world alone, so he didn't care whether anyone helped him or not.

"World Pulse, welcome my return!"

Jiang Yuan opened his arms, and the luck he had previously stolen from Xinghun began to seep into the world's veins, and its reappearance brought him a tremendous increase in power.

Emerging from the world's veins, Jiang Yuan's combat power increased at a visible rate.

"Today, you are not fighting for anyone else, but for yourselves!"

Three illusory figures appeared behind Jiang Yuan: a sinister illusory figure of the Grim Reaper, a blurry illusory figure of the God of the Future, and an ultimate Dharma form appearing in Jiang Yuan's appearance. Along the pilgrimage route, three similar illusory figures stood between heaven and earth, echoing his presence.

He turned to look at the kneeling crowd, and after a long while, he said, "I cannot interfere with your pilgrimage, but today I will destroy this pilgrimage route. I hope you will not waver in your faith!"
