"Nancheng, I'm back!"
Jiang Yuan stood atop the ruins, with the aura of evil slaughter behind him, but before him lay the sacred cycle of eternal reincarnation that would forever suppress the six realms.
He forged his cycle of death through slaughter, and with memories in his hands, he picked up a handful of dust.
The scenes of racial struggle are still vivid in our minds, the blood and tears left by the martyrs are clearly visible, and their immortal souls watch over this land from the ground.
He owes Nancheng a promise, and he owes Nancheng a future.
The South City unveiled the perfect scroll of the Apocalyptic Era, but also buried countless heroic souls. What they deserve is not rest, but freedom to stand under the blue sky and white clouds.
The freedom of life has nothing to do with high or low status, or with eternal lifespan; it simply requires living a complete life without restraint.
An ant's life is but a fleeting season. A mortal's life is but a hundred years in the mortal world. But for gods, it is but a blink of an eye, and time stands still forever.
Life cannot be measured by time; it can only be measured by the meaning of its existence.
"Reincarnation, let's restart!"
The phantom of the Grim Reaper appeared behind Jiang Yuan, six paths flowing in his eyes, and spirits of the dead emerged from the reincarnation marks on the land of the Southern City.
The gears of history are turning back, and the hands of time are set to the moment of the destruction of Nancheng.
The overwhelming demons and holy spirits, the ignorant and savage beastmen, and the human race who shed their last drop of blood for their racial beliefs and their country.
Scenes flashed before Jiang Yuan's eyes; these were the last traces left by the dead, and also the laws of life and death in the world.
"The first level of the Forest of Reincarnation - Twilight!"
As Jiang Yuan finished speaking, the ruins of the southern city returned to the era of the Great Cataclysm.
This is the twilight of humanity. Countless mortals met their end in blood and fire, and human civilization was on the verge of collapse.
"The second level of the Forest of Reincarnation - Decay".
The scene then shifts, the earth cracks, mountains and rivers crumble, the weak are ruthlessly eliminated, and life is rapidly dwindling.
The Book of Life and Death in Jiang Yuan's hand slowly floated up, recording the names of countless people.
"The third level of the Forest of Reincarnation - the Darkest Horizon".
This is the darkest moment in the southern city. The southern city becomes the source, and the creatures within it will become sacrifices for the coming of a prosperous era.
Death became the dominant theme in the southern city. Whether they were high-ranking leaders or insects struggling to survive in the ditches, they had no choice in the darkest hour.
The Reincarnation Forest unfolded in three stages, representing the cycle of reincarnation that Nancheng experienced.
"Nancheng, I've returned with my promise!"
Jiang Yuan flipped through the Book of Life and Death in Chaos, and the fourth level of the Forest of Reincarnation began to brew.
He had been preparing for this day for far too long, and now that he had the ability, he was ready to put it into action.
"The fourth level of the Forest of Reincarnation!"
The first ray of light pierced the heavy fog of the sky and descended upon the ruins of the southern city. The light dispelled the twilight, chased away the decay, and illuminated the darkness.
The southern city is ready to welcome the dawn!
"dawn!"
Jiang Yuan's call to action was like a waving battle flag, awakening the spirits slumbering in eternal calamity, and gradually bringing together the physical bodies that had vanished into the world.
The end of night is the beginning of day, just as the ultimate end of death is the beginning of rebirth; after the end, the greatest prosperity will surely follow.
The first sprout emerged from the ground. After eight years, the first signs of life appeared in Nancheng. The thick soil began to pulsate again, and life grew against its destiny.
"Warriors, the times may have abandoned you, but I have not! The oath has not! And South City has not!"
Chaotic mist cascaded down from his wings as Jiang Yuan held up the Book of Life and Death and shouted.
"I am the eternal lamp of the night, illuminating the ancient road to the underworld!"
An endless stream of marks of the dead erupted from the chaotic Book of Life and Death; this was a frenzied procession.
Jiang Yuan survived thanks to the millions of souls who perished in Nancheng. Now, it is his turn to carry the lantern and guide the lonely souls of the Yellow Springs.
"Netherworld Barrier - Souls, Return!"
Led by the Tomb Maiden, the undead servants suppressed the cycle of reincarnation, while the Five Ghosts, carrying the legacy of the gods and spirits, guided the Five Elements to forge a physical body.
"pledge!"
"Return!"
The call of the gods worked, and under the imprint of millions of the dead, the Oath Forces that had fallen in battle began to reappear one after another.
They were either confused or excited, the images of their past deaths seemed to be right before their eyes. They had buried their past in that war and never imagined they would have a future.
North City Alliance!
Campsite!
Crimson Blood Army!
One by one, the warriors who had fought for Nancheng crawled out of the abyss. They had undergone the most brutal baptism and were all top-notch warriors.
However, fate played a cruel joke on them, placing them in the southern city that was destined for destruction.
"Welcome back to South City, everyone!"
It was still that long spear that seemed to pierce the sky; Jiang Yuan felt as if he had returned to that era.
They were fearless in their fight against the Demon Lord at the Nascent Soul stage; they faced life-or-death threats with composure; even when their souls were scattered and they were doomed to eternal damnation, the thousands of dead souls in Nancheng still stood with Jiang Yuan to fight against the Demon Lord's soul.
It can be said that the legend of Nancheng was not created by Jiang Yuan alone, but by everyone in Nancheng.
"I never thought I'd see the light of day again!"
Despite his aged appearance, Li Tiegen remains full of vigor and high spirits. He is still the veteran of that camp, the veteran who is always ready to dedicate everything to his country.
"This kid is fucking like a god!"
Whether it was the Northern City Alliance or the Crimson Blood Army, their evaluation of Jiang Yuan was surprisingly consistent at this moment.
Bringing tens of thousands of people back from hell is something even gods cannot do, but Jiang Yuan accomplished it all by himself. This has exceeded the limits of human capability, and in their hearts, Jiang Yuan is the supreme god.
