"Big brother, you're finally back!"
Jiang Yuan appeared calmly, just as he had expected. The three young men were so excited when they saw him that they burst into tears. Whether it was tears of joy or something else, he didn't know.
"Not bad, they lasted a total of six hours and thirty-five minutes." Jiang Yuan rarely praised others sincerely. This time, the three of them did a truly impeccable job, holding their ground without making a single mistake.
Hearing Jiang Yuan's teasing, a slightly younger man said with a bitter face, "If I wasn't afraid of not being able to get back, I wouldn't have been able to last even an hour!"
"Haha, young people should be brave and daring. As the pillars of China, if you don't risk your lives for tomorrow, what future will China have?" Jiang Yuan joked.
"With great power comes great responsibility. Jiang is willing to risk his life for China, so our efforts are nothing." One of them was quite philosophical about it.
Only when they truly stand on the same side will they understand the weight of the word "protection".
Jiang Yuan nodded after listening. China is a nation that has suffered many disasters, but every time a crisis occurs, a group of people will emerge to protect China. This is the national cohesion that has enabled China to stand tall in the world for five thousand years.
"We need to hurry, half a day has passed and we don't know how far the advance team has gone!" The other person didn't complain, but simply expressed the idea of catching up with the main force.
"etc!"
Jiang Yuan stopped the three men. He was never an egoist. The three men had set up a trap for him to ensure he wouldn't get lost in the void, and they had even helped him receive the fortune from China. So he certainly couldn't let the three men work for nothing.
"What's wrong?"
The three men looked tense, and one of them said, "Is the problem still unresolved?"
"Don't be nervous, I have some small gifts I'd like to give you!" Jiang Yuan said with a smile.
...
When Jiang Yuan returned from the void with the three of them, the people from Huasheng Academy had been traveling for seven hours. Moreover, because the number of void beasts in this section of the road was limited, the main force had only traveled a few hundred miles in those seven hours, and they could only try their best to catch up.
As for the small gift Jiang Yuan gave, it was naturally a treasure given according to the needs of the three. The treasures opened from the core were not of much help to him, but it was different for the others. They were enough to change their combat power, so he prepared a rather generous gift for the three of them.
This completely changed the three's perception of Jiang Yuan. Previously, they only thought Jiang Yuan was a pervert, and due to limited contact, they firmly believed the rumors that he was a ruthless killer. However, today's events allowed them to understand another side of Jiang Yuan—a pioneer who carried heavy burdens and cared deeply for his race. It's just that what he carried was beyond their imagination, which created an incomprehensible gap between them.
After killing the Star Soul and absorbing a huge amount of fortune, Jiang Yuan no longer planned to kill the Void Beast. The fortune he had plundered from the Star Soul was enough for him to reverse the pilgrimage path. Now he just wanted to enter the source as soon as possible and stop the companion god from burying a memory belonging to Ning Yanlan.
Led by Jiang Yuan, the four moved very fast, catching up with Gu Anlei and the others who had been ahead for seven and a half hours after they had spent several hours traveling.
Having been baptized in blood, the group became murderous. The pilgrimage route was not a sacred place. By now, seven of the hundred-person team had been lost, but the remaining members did not give up or become confused. On the contrary, their resolve had become even stronger.
Here, they understood that even geniuses can die! Even those with pure pilgrimage faith cannot escape death.
What good is pilgrimage? Even the most steadfast believer can fall victim to the sword. Only by transcending the ordinary and attaining sainthood can one avoid the unexpected cruelty of fate.
This is their transformation, a transformation not for pilgrimage but for sainthood.
On the thirtieth day of the pilgrimage, which is the end of the pilgrimage, only sixty-nine of the hundred students who came have survived. However, the end that awaits the sixty-nine is a Void Beast Legion.
This is an unprecedented enemy on the pilgrimage route. The number of Void Beasts in the Profound God Realm exceeds a thousand, the number in the Supreme God Realm exceeds ten, and there is even a Void Beast Lord in the Half-Step God Transformation Realm.
The two sides were completely mismatched in strength. Sixty-nine people with the highest strength of only the ninth level of the Profound God Realm were fighting against thousands of powerful enemies. This was a battle that could not be won at all.
"What should we do?" Xie Chuan led the group backward, his expression extremely grave.
Not only was Xie Chuan's face full of worry, but even Baili Yifeng, a ninth-level Xuan Shen Realm cultivator, was at a loss. Facing such a powerful enemy, it was simply beyond human capability to defeat.
Jiang Yuan didn't speak, but Gu Anlei sighed and continued, "You should know why this place is called the Pilgrimage Road!"
"Could the pilgrimage route really be as rumored?" Baili Yifeng frowned.
"That's right, only pilgrimage!"
Gu Anlei clasped her hands together, her exquisite holy soul hovering above her head, and then knelt down devoutly after purifying herself.
She knelt in the direction of the end of the pilgrimage route; what lay there was unknown, but they all knew in their hearts who it was.
There is only one person in Huasheng Academy who can be called a saint, and that is the Dean of Huasheng Academy who held up the sky of Zhongzhou in the midst of chaos.
At this moment, the people who had already made up their minds were in a daze. Their beliefs collapsed at this moment. They originally thought that everything was in their own hands, but in the end they still had to kneel down to others. How could they, who were so proud, accept this?
But now that Gu Anlei has knelt down to pay homage, what right do they have not to kneel?
The second person knelt down, the third person knelt down, and more and more students chose to sacrifice their beliefs in the face of death.
