It's still uncertain how many people from Hunjiang can get in. Although everyone is like brothers and sisters, opportunities shouldn't be given up even by family ties, and Jiang Fu naturally understands this.
"this?"
Those people were all confused by Jiang Fu's actions, but since Jiang Fu didn't explain, they couldn't force her. They could only disperse and continue to worship their ancestors one by one, hoping to gain a slim chance of entering the Soul River.
Jiang Yuan did not go to worship his ancestors like the others. If he hadn't been expelled, he would have been considered a member of the Zhongyuan Jiang family, and he would have worshipped his ancestors at the Zhongyuan Jiang family. He was just waiting for Jiang Fu to reach the top of the mountain so that he could activate the Soul River.
Although Jiang Fu was quite naive, she was truly persistent. She managed to climb the thousand-meter-high stone mountain by bowing every three steps. By the time she reached the top, five hours had passed.
However, Jiang Fu kowtowed but didn't hear any response. Her forehead was covered in blood and she was filled with resentment. If this didn't open the Soul River, she would go back and kick that bastard to death for tricking her into kowtowing for five hours straight.
After waiting for five minutes, Jiang Fu, who was still kneeling, was grinding her teeth. What she wanted most now was not to open the Soul River, but to bite that bastard. What a load of bull! He knocked on the road to heaven, but there was nothing there.
"It's time!"
Jiang Yuan followed behind, even stepping on Jiang Fu's bloodstains as he climbed up. Jiang Fu hadn't used any strength; she had simply kowtowed up the mountain like an ordinary person, so her forehead couldn't withstand such torment and was already covered in blood.
"Jiang Fu, you are worthy of me opening the Soul River for you!"
As Jiang Yuan gazed into the void, the phantom of the Grim Reaper suddenly appeared behind him.
It wasn't him who summoned the Soul River, but the Grim Reaper!
In other words, he had already displayed his talent as a death god in the Jiang family's territory when he was young.
"Hunjiang, I'm back!"
After this sentence was murmured, the entire Jiang family ancestral land began to tremble. It wasn't just the Jiang family that crossed the sea; it was a celebration for the entire Jiang family.
Specks of starlight fell from the sky; they were the pure soul power sealed within the endless River of Souls.
"Look! The Soul River! The Soul River has appeared!"
The unusual event excited every member of the Jiang family, and some people saw Jiang Fu bowing every three steps, so someone shouted, "It's Jiang Fu! It's her sincerity that moved Hunjiang!"
The practice of bowing every three steps has never happened in the Jiang family's ancestral home. The concept instilled in them from childhood is that a man's knees are worth more than gold. Although kneeling to ancestors does not violate the principle of kneeling to heaven, earth, and parents, how could they, as the pride of the emperor, kneel down so easily?
"If I had known that this would open the Soul River, I would have knelt down years ago. What's this about a man having gold under his knees? I was just kneeling down to take out the gold and use it!" someone said regretfully.
"No, I think I'm feeling the call of the Soul River!"
"Damn it, me too! What's going on?! Wasn't the Soul River only open to a specific person before? Why are we being summoned this time too?!"
"It must be Jiang Fu! It was Jiang Fu who paved the way for our Jiang family to a prosperous future!"
"Delay will only bring trouble. We must hurry into the Soul River. This great era belongs to our Jiang family!"
Those who were slow were still outside, deeply moved, while those who were fast had already disappeared into the Soul River. Only Jiang Fu, who was still in shock, and Jiang Yuan, who had not yet set off, remained on the scene.
"This..." Jiang Fu's face was full of disbelief. She did not expect that the path to heaven that she had opened would bring all the direct descendants of the Jiang family who had crossed the sea into it.
"Get up, wipe the blood with a handkerchief!"
Jiang Yuan walked over to Jiang Fu and helped her up. He didn't want to take advantage of the innocent and kind Jiang Fu, but he had no choice. He couldn't fight against the Jiang family alone, as well as the Companion God and the Holy Lord who were eyeing him covetously, so he had to hide his identity.
"Thank you!" Jiang Fu took the handkerchief and wiped her face, but when the handkerchief reached her nose, she took a gentle sniff. A pleasant fragrance filled her nostrils, and she asked curiously, "You're a grown man, why do you use a scented handkerchief?"
"You're overthinking it, it was a gift from a girl!" Jiang Yuan shook his head and said.
"Really? You can still have girls who like you? What does she look like? Is she pretty?" Jiang Fu asked, her curiosity overflowing, while wiping away the blood.
"I gave them too many, I forgot!" Jiang Yuan shrugged and answered in a Versailles-like manner. This was indeed the truth. When he first returned to the human territory and received treatment at the border, several medics gave him handkerchiefs. Although they were eventually scared away by the fact that his daughter was already five years old, the handkerchiefs were still kept.
"I didn't realize you were so young at heart despite your age! But now that you've said that, I'm not going to go on a blind date with you anymore. I hate guys with so many complicated romantic relationships!" Jiang Fu joked.
"They've all entered the Soul River, are you sure you don't want to go in?" Jiang Yuan urged.
"We should go in, but you're here! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to open the Soul River!" Jiang Fu thanked her, still worried, and then whispered, "Did you sense the Soul River's call?"
"Thanks to you, I sensed it!" Jiang Yuan nodded.
Jiang Fu was relieved and said happily, "Alright, let's go in together!"
After she finished speaking, she dived into the Soul River. After she left, Jiang Yuan gestured towards the Soul River and said quietly, "You helped me, so I'll help you too. I hope you can make a name for yourself in the best spot in the Soul River!"
Jiang Fu thought she had just entered the Soul River in an ordinary way. She never expected that her persistence would earn her the opportunity to enter the best position in the Soul River.
After everyone disappeared, Jiang Yuan calmly stepped into the Soul River.
