Wan Ge once asked him a question, and he said that given his personality, why did he help A Ci back then?

He was a celestial war god, not someone who looked like a ferocious demon. But having experienced too much killing, his temperament was not gentle and refined. Even if he looked like a pale-faced scholar from a folk tale, so what? He had stained his skin with too much blood and was almost numb to life. An ordinary person was nothing to him.

Why is that? Ying Cizhou himself couldn't give himself an answer, but Jun Ci found the answer.

Whether it was the gods of many years ago or the immortal cultivation sects of today, when Jun Ci is mentioned, everyone thinks of him as the invincible and unconquerable God of War of the Heavenly Realm.

But no one knows his past before he became the God of War; no one knows what he went through.

Before his first breakthrough, he was a god but unknown because his abilities were too weak. Even with infinite life, his power was no different from that of an ordinary person.

Given his circumstances at the time, if he hadn't been bullied, things would have been fine, but if someone truly wanted him dead, he would have been powerless to resist. A god, yet he was like an ant.

He tried desperately to cultivate, but was disappointed time and time again.

During one of the demonic attacks, he fell to the ground like an ant.

In that instant, he thought perhaps he shouldn't have stood up anymore. His parents had long been utterly disappointed in him and had given up on him long ago; perhaps he should give up on himself too.

Just as the monster's foot was about to step on his back, the sound of swords clashing rang out. Then came a pleasant female voice: "Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

Jun Ci opened his eyes and saw a little girl. The little girl looked even younger than him. She was very cute and didn't have a smile on her face, but there was a warm feeling about her.

She reached out her hand to him, carefully helped him up, and led him to a safe place.

Before she left, she gave him a sword manual and told him that it didn't matter if he couldn't defeat the demons now, because she believed he could one day.

Later he learned that the other party was a sword spirit of a sword forged by the Sword God.

The sword god grew tired of facing a bunch of powerful weapons. He wanted to give these swords life, and after many attempts, he finally succeeded.

He imbued several swords forged from Nine Profound Spirit Iron with life, giving them sword spirits. However, the sword spirits seemed to lack emotion and were always cold and aloof.

Because the sword forged by the Sword God was very strong, the little girl was also very strong. Therefore, she was able to easily and safely bring him home.

From that moment on, Jun Ci rallied. He wanted to become a powerful god. Once he became a powerful god, he would be qualified to ask the Sword God for a weapon. He wanted her.

After a century of painstaking cultivation, and with his talent seemingly gradually emerging, he was no longer so mediocre.

In one of the contests of the gods, he won first prize, and at that moment, his parents, who had previously abandoned him, began to care for him again.

Jun Ci knew what they were thinking, but he wouldn't expose them and didn't want to, because he still needed the protection of the Father God and Mother God, and he wanted to get more resources from them so that he could go further.

Thus, they used each other for a thousand years, until he stood in a very high position among the gods.

He obtained the sword he had longed for from the Sword God. The Sword God inquired about the reason why he chose the Shining Night Sword, and then told him that the Shining Night Sword was not actually fully completed at the time, and it only reached its full potential after being tempered.

Having undergone such a transformation, he might not even remember saving him.

Jun Ci didn't care whether she remembered him or not. He thought that even if she hadn't been tempered, she might not remember him anymore. He didn't need her to remember those past events.

Seeing her again after the contract was signed, Jun Ci was truly thrilled.

After the tempering, she looked exactly like an adult, and she still looked remarkably like her childhood self.

The Sword God said that the appearance of a sword spirit is randomly created without any reference, but after a contract is formed, it is very likely that it will grow into the appearance that its master desires.

But... at this very moment, she is exactly what Jun Ci wanted most. He thought that in the long life ahead, he would never be alone again.

Now that I've recalled this much, I can answer that question.

Why help Aci?

It is because Jun Ci, being weak, is like A Ci, isolated and helpless like an ant. He is powerless in the face of what he loves and desires.

The appearance of Wan Ge at that time saved his shattered spiritual life. It gave him the courage to face his spiritual life again, and he finally pulled himself out of the mire through his own efforts.

When faced with his past self again, he chose to pull himself up again.

【Evening Song Extra】

When she awoke as a sword spirit, she had no memory of anything. The person who created her told her that she was a sword spirit and that her life's purpose was to accompany her master in upholding justice.

When she asked him if he was her master, he said he was not her master and that she would meet his master.

The gods and demons have always been at odds. On one occasion, the demons launched a sneak attack, even reaching the temple. At that time, she hadn't yet formed a contract with anyone, but as long as the Sword God permitted, they wouldn't slumber. So, she and her brothers and sisters, who had been created with her, helped the gods rescue some of the weaker deities.

She spotted Jun Ci, who was nearly killed by the monster, and without thinking, she went straight over and killed the monster.

His divine power was so weak that he couldn't even protect himself. But it didn't matter that his divine power was weak. She had many suitable sword manuals. As long as he had a sword, his swordsmanship would be enough to protect him.
