Chapter 2129 Lingyantai's bestowal of honors, giving him the highest honor he deserves.
Upon hearing this, Si Jin's expression truly softened.
He listened as Lin Yuan continued, "Actually, I remembered seven days later. I... I made you suffer a great injustice."
“I stood outside your door myself, wanting to bring you medicine, but I was afraid you would be angry if you saw me, so I asked someone else to bring the medicine. But you wouldn’t accept it, and you wouldn’t see anyone. I didn’t know how to coax you.”
"But I want you to come out, I want you to come out with the Demon Slayer and come here."
With her slender fingers gripping the sword hilt again, Si Jin asked, "What are you doing here?"
"In the wind of Yaochi, I have mixed medicine to help you restore your divine power, and also..." Lin Yuan said, "I have a gift that I must give you here."
As she spoke, she slowly reached out her hand to Si Jin's chest and touched it with her finger.
The next second, a soft silver armor appeared on the god's body, making him look majestic, handsome and upright.
It is said that the celestial realm has some strange habits. Over tens of thousands of years, as it has developed and evolved with the times, the gods' clothing has gradually changed from ancient costumes to modern ones.
However, the most primitive terms such as attending court and submitting memorials, and even the attire of the priests, have been preserved exactly as they were.
The silver-threaded soft armor was worn when Lingyantai was conferred the title of god, representing the highest honor pursued by all martial gods since the establishment of the Heavenly Realm.
From birth until now, Si Jin has only worn this type of soft armor twice.
Once, after Gui Chen defeated the demons, he recognized his abilities and praised him with a smile, admonishing him to always remember, "To repay the emperor's favor on Lingyan Terrace, I will wield the Jade Dragon and die for him."
Once, it's now...
He originally thought that he would never have the chance to touch these things again in his life.
Having spent too long in the trough, Si Jin dared not hope for too high a goal. She gripped the soft armor gauntlets and hard helmet, feeling it was all very unreal.
His first reaction was to take it off.
He even admonished, "This is the highest honor bestowed upon a martial god; you cannot abuse your power for personal gain."
However, before his hand could fall, it was grasped in Xiao Ayuan's palm. He said, "General Si prevented the war in the Western Heavenly River and slew the demons and gods. He deserves this honor."
"But, Jinjin," he called out cautiously, "could the surrounding killing barriers be removed first?"
Lin Yuan raised his hand and pointed to the Lingyantai, with its high-pitched eaves, on the shore not far away, and said, "I want to take you there, with your 'Demon Slayer', to perform the investiture ceremony."
"Welcome back my war god in triumph."
… …
He said so, and Si Jin did as he was told.
Si Jin didn't know how she got to Lingyantai.
All I remember is that when I came to my senses, it was already dawn, and the scenery around me began to become clear. More and more gods were gathering at the foot of Lingyan Terrace.
The first three thousand were his disciples, led by Yao Cen.
The second group consisted of civil and military officials who served the same court, led by Qingyun.
The third team consisted of his subordinates who fought alongside him, led by Yan Yuping.
After that, there were some common people who had a very good impression of him. He recognized them, and some of them would often go to his house to bring him magical fruits and peaches, saying that they would save the delicious things for the general.
Lin Yuan is the Heavenly Lord, and he should have stood at the very front of the line. However, at this moment, Xiao A Yuan obediently walked to the line of three thousand disciples and stood in the very last row.
Yao Cen took the lead, bowing and saying, "Welcome back in triumph, Master!"
"Welcome back to the capital in triumph, General!"
"Welcome back to the capital in triumph, General!!!"
They all bowed their heads, their voices rising in waves, shaking the Jade Pool and making even the breeze chaotic.
Si Jin's nose felt a little sore again. He had thought that at most he would have a banquet to restore his divine status, or he could just have a meal with Yao Cen and Yan Yuping to say goodbye to the past.
But now, Lin Yuan has given him a new life.
Xiao Ayuan is truly doing his best to give him the utmost respect, making up for all his regrets and grievances little by little.
Gradually, Si Jin's rationality returned, and he gripped the Demon Slayer Sword tightly, a beautiful smile curving his lips.
He really is back.
