"The story-driven secret realm has ended. All participants have completed one hundred waves of combat assaults, achieving 100% completion of the secret realm. Secret Realm Tokens will be awarded as a reward."

"Secret Realm Token: Can unlock the next level of the secret realm, with selectable difficulty levels: Easy, Hard, and Hell".

All the war scenes disappeared, leaving only a token—a token that unlocks three difficulty levels.

The battlefield scene disappeared, but the images they had just witnessed kept replaying in their minds. The sounds of battle seemed to still echo in their ears. These repeated battles made them feel as if they were actually participating in the war.

"Okay, don't overthink it, this is someone else's war," Jiang Yuan said, putting his arm around An Xiaoyu's shoulder to comfort her.

"fine."

An Xiaoyu shook her head to indicate that there was no problem, but she still looked a little out of sorts. She had experienced many wars, but this was the first time she had ever experienced a war that wiped out a race of millions of people.

They saw the end, the outcome of the war was reversed, the hundred men slaughtered millions without any doubt, the bloodshed was not just a figure of speech.

However, Jiang Yuan and the other two were fine, but Shi Jingang was the most unusual, his gaze was fixed on the group of a hundred people and he couldn't look away.

"Hey big guy, what's wrong?" Jiang Yuan asked out of kindness.

Shi Jingang seemed not to hear, staring blankly into the distance, even though the hundred-man group had disappeared.

“Master, legend has it that the Dark Desolation is associated with the Stone Clan,” the Tomb Maiden said from the side.

When Shi Jingang heard this, he did not refute it, but admitted, "My ancestor was the centurion who fought against Dark Star."

"Dark Star? Centurion?" Jiang Yuan was somewhat surprised. He only knew the basic information about the Dark Fall Secret Realm, and he didn't know the real inside story of Dark Fall.

"Back then, our ancestors followed a supreme god, and fought alongside that great being across the starry sky. Countless life-bearing stars were crushed under their iron hooves, including Dark Star!"

"but!"

Shi Jingang paused here, and finally shook his head and said, "Back then, a young man escaped from the Dark Star and soon became the Supreme God to take revenge on that great man."

"Then what?"

Shi Jingang said with a downcast expression, "That lord was killed by the supreme god of the Dark Star, and all the warriors who participated in the massacre and 99% of their descendants were executed, including my ancestors and clan!"

"So you came here for revenge too?" Jiang Yuan asked curiously.

Shi Jingang did not answer directly, but said: "The hundred people who participated in the massacre were not only executed, but also cursed by the fallen Dark Star Supreme God. All the descendants of these warriors are unable to break through the divine barrier unless they are forgiven by the Dark Star warriors."

"So that's how it is!" Jiang Yuan finally understood. No wonder the Desolate Stone Clan wanted to come in.

“The only way to gain their forgiveness is to help them fight off the hundred men,” Stone King Kong said with mixed emotions.

"That's not a big problem. You can come with us to open the secret realm. If the Purgatory difficulty isn't enough, we can try the God difficulty. Getting forgiveness won't be hard either." Jiang Yuan didn't think much of it. Since he had promised the Desolate Stone Clan that Shi Jingang would come along, he would keep his promise.

"Jiang Yuan, I'm sorry!"

Shi Jingang suddenly apologized, his gaze falling on the Hundred-Man Clan in the distance, and finally said dejectedly, "I want to join the Hundred-Man Clan."

Even Jiang Yuan was stunned by these words, because this was not about being forgiven, but rather about repeating the crime.

Is there right or wrong in war?

Shi Jingang suddenly became philosophical, and he said quietly, "I don't think my ancestor did anything wrong. If he did make a mistake, it was that he was too weak. If he had been strong enough to surpass the eternal gods, no one could have executed him. If he had been strong enough to control life and death, no one could have cursed his descendants."

"And I, as his descendant, am not here to apologize on his behalf, but to become stronger."

This is blatant extreme left-wing ideology, but Jiang Yuan couldn't judge it because the racial war wasn't an invasion war. Although the faction to which the Desolate Stone Clan belonged destroyed Dark Star, Dark Star's supreme god also retaliated by killing most of the invading races. The hatred between the two sides was already at its peak. For example, if China had wiped out all those who supported militarism in that country back then, including civilians, they would be forgiven now even if that country didn't kneel down and admit its mistakes. But unfortunately, the traitors are not yet gone, and the hatred for the nation is hard to forget.

"Are you sure?" Jiang Yuan's tone turned cold.

“Confirmed!” Shi Jingang nodded. He knew that this move would definitely put him at odds with Jiang Yuan and the others, but he still had to do it for the sake of his obsession.

"Alright, see you on the battlefield!"

Jiang Yuan didn't say much and directly chose the Purgatory difficulty level of the secret realm. Due to their faction affiliations, both sides also gave their respective conditions for clearing the Purgatory difficulty level.

For the Dark Star faction, the appointed General of Chariots and Cavalry completes the mission by charging three times.

In the war faction, the mission can be completed by indiscriminately killing 100,000 living beings.

The Dark Star faction consists of over ten million members, while the War faction comprises a force of a hundred men.

Jiang Yuan and his two companions joined the Dark Star faction, while Shi Jingang joined the War faction. When the mission began, the entire battlefield instantly became grim. The scenes they had seen in the story's secret realm came back to life, but this time they were not there in person; they appeared directly on the battlefield.

"Only gods can possess such power!" Jiang Yuan looked at the lifelike Dark Star Clan members around him in a daze. Although these people maintained their fighting strength from their previous lives, each of them was simply repeating the actions they had taken in life. They had no souls or thoughts; they were merely repeating the war that wiped out their clan over countless years.
