"Thank you to all the soldiers for their sacrifice in the Holy Light."

May the Holy Light be with you.

May the gods be with you.

On this land, countless people died, their bodies either buried by the smoke and sand, burned to ashes by flames, or standing tall before the city gates—heroes in life, ghosts in death.

But at this moment, one platinum-gold orbs of light after another floated out and returned to the Holy Glory Empire. Countless heroic spirits seemed to reappear, merging together on the Holy Glory Empire's formation to resist the invasion of foreign enemies and protect countless civilians in the city.

That could be their lover, their child, their relatives and friends, their parents—someone they cherish most and are willing to protect with their lives.

They may be ordinary passersby, strangers brushing past each other, or indifferent people with whom they have had conflicts, but at this moment, they are also the ones being protected.

When disaster strikes, the soldiers' beliefs are not complicated; they only hope for peace and safety, for each day to come and each year to come.

Dense clusters of platinum-gold orbs, like a torrential rain of pear blossoms, created a scene of dazzling fireworks, but also revealed a number of unimaginable deaths and the heroic spirits of martyrs.

When countless people in the city witnessed this breathtaking scene, they couldn't help but shed tears, each drop nourishing the land without anyone having to guide them.

They murmured:

"Thank you to all the soldiers for your trust in Quan Ji, and thank you to all the soldiers for your continued willingness to protect Sheng Yao!"

...

A general shouted:

"All soldiers, listen to my command! Sing 'No Clothes'!!"

"Listen to my command!"

"How can you say we have no clothes? We share the same robes with you."

"The king is raising an army; let us prepare our spears and shields."

"We stand together against this enemy!"

"How can we say we have no clothes? We will share the same garments with you."

"The king rises from his teacher, and he repairs my spears and halberds."

"Let's work together!"

"How can you say we have no clothes? We will share our garments with you."

"The king rises to war, and prepares our armor and weapons."

"To walk together with you!"

The soldiers' voices were more surging than a storm, and more tragic than ever before.

They cannot guarantee that they can properly protect the families and friends of these heroic souls.

They could only pray for the young lady's return, again and again.

They didn't speak, but they all implicitly held the same thought in their hearts.

—If the protective shield breaks before the young lady returns, then…even if they die, they will try to gain every last second.

They never thought the young lady would abandon them.

Even if we don't know when we'll be able to wait.

They have never wavered in their beliefs.

Miss, you will definitely come back.

...

Time passed by, second by second.

During this period, the warriors of the Holy Glory Empire could only use ranged attacks and some enhanced cannons and other weapons to resist within the city, while remaining inside the protective shield.

However, the Abyss Order had far too many members and too much power, and their numbers were accumulating.

If it weren't for the phantom behind Quan Qingchi still holding up the protective shield, it would probably have shattered long ago.

Everyone's eyes turned crimson as they stared at the phantom, unable to utter a single word despite the multitude of thoughts swirling in their minds.

He choked up.

The people in the city all clasped their hands together, grasped the object, and silently waited.

"Young lady, please come back soon."

—Just hold on a little longer, please, the young lady will definitely come back.

"Young lady, if all the warriors perish in the end... then we, we commoners who have always lived within the warm city gates, will also fight for this land, for the continent of Noah, to buy time. You must come back."

"Young lady, please come back."

...

The black fog was getting thicker and thicker.

The barrier in front of the Holy Empire has begun to crack, as if it will break at any moment. Even the phantom that Quan Qingchi summoned with his faith and everything else is becoming more and more transparent.

All the soldiers stood inside the city gate, holding their breath and staring intently at the sky, gripping their swords with an unprecedented determination in their hearts.

When everything shatters, that's when they muster all their strength to break free.

They will not give the enemy a chance.

The forces of the abyss outside continued to mock them.

"Your young lady is dead, isn't she? She hasn't returned yet, hahaha, well... how could she possibly compare to our great Lord?"

"The Holy Empire, is it all you are? Entrusting the last hope of the Noah Continent to you is a foolish decision. Now, goodbye... no, never again."

...

With the combined efforts of the Abyss Order members, a massive black-purple energy wave blasted towards the Holy Glory Empire's barrier like a giant cannon!

Snap!

The barrier of the Holy Empire shattered completely in that instant, turning into countless specks of light that scattered in all directions.

In that instant, the warriors of the Holy Glory Empire, without even needing any orders from their general, all rushed outwards!

"Kill! Kill!"

"Don't let any of them in!!"

They rushed out of the city gates, and the members of the Abyss Order wore sickly smiles.

"Kill them all!!!"

However, at that very moment, several terrifying dragon breaths descended from the sky, each possessing different ultimate law attributes. Their power seemed capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, and they struck the people of the Abyss Order, causing terrifying explosions!

One side is a world of ice and snow.

One side is a raging inferno.

On one side, the earth shook and mountains trembled.
