Everyone rushed out through the gap in the protective shield!
The moment they charged out, like thousands of tassels falling, the phoenix fire swept over them, burning away the spores and quickly forming a wall of fire in the gaps.
The firewalls reach straight to the sky; nothing, no matter how small, can cross them!
Those who rushed out turned around and were shocked to find that Yan Guanshan had not come out with them and was trapped inside the wall of fire!
"Brother Yan—"
Everyone was crying and shouting, trying to rush back.
Yan Guanshan silently mouthed a few words, saying:
"Survive."
The golden-red flames, like magma erupting from the earth, suddenly closed in like a giant fire lotus, trapping the Styx jellyfish, all the nearby alien species, and Yan Guanshan himself inside.
Bai Bing stepped on a frozen, bluish-green mass of flesh, panting heavily, but in a good mood.
"Unknown extraterrestrial species captured by the mother!"
"boom--"
A scorching wave of heat surged from behind. Bai Bing turned around and saw a phoenix phantom rising from the west.
"Yanguan Mountain?"
Bai Bing called out through the communication channel, but no one answered.
Bai Bing was stunned for a moment, then smiled for the first time: "Good lad, you've got guts!"
The tentacle monster, whose body had already been shattered in half, charged forward with a shriek.
Bai Bing coldly shouted, "Mere demons and monsters!"
She stomped heavily, and the ice beneath her feet expanded rapidly, freezing the entire tentacle monster and the blue-green fleshy mass with overwhelming force!
Bai Bing's face was pale, and she let out a heavy breath.
She held the communicator to her face: "Yan Guanshan, let's destroy them."
A faint sound came from the other end of the communicator.
Bai Bing smiled slightly and decisively pressed the only red button.
In the video, the fire lotus closed and the fire phoenix cried out. Then, an explosion accompanied by flames completely engulfed the screen!
With a "sizzle" sound, the camera fell into the seawater, but was not completely burned by the flames.
The camera pans across the sea, looking up to see the sky crack open, and fiery meteorites shatter and crash down!
The camera freezes on that moment.
In the city, flesh and blood, frozen in ice, were blasted into pieces;
At the city gate, fire lotuses danced with the flames, while corpses burned to ashes.
Chronicle of Natural Disasters 299.2.8
On the eve of the Lunar New Year in the 298th year of the lunar calendar,
Chaohai City was destroyed.
Unknown extraterrestrial species, sea monster - tentacles, and sea monster - Styx were killed.
Executive officers Bai Bing and Yan Lin, and directly subordinate officer Yan Guanshan, were killed in battle.
"..."
When the video ended, the entire audience fell silent.
Until an elderly man who was carried onto the field began to sob and weep.
Belatedly, everyone realized that they were already in tears.
This is a record of humanity's struggle against disaster, a record of death, and a record of heroes.
Yan Guanshan calmed his agitated emotions and said, "After that, when I woke up again, I found myself in a soul form, and I was with the group of people who stayed behind."
“I watched them leave their homes and families, only to be rejected and instead branded as ‘deserters,’ forced to wander the wilderness.”
I felt incredibly guilty and heartbroken, but there was nothing I could do.
"This town was built by them, brick by brick."
The first town mayor, Yan Yi, died from exhaustion while clearing land in the fields.
The second mayor was torn apart by wild animals in the mountains while protecting the townspeople.
The third mayor died on his way to buy supplies; he was falsely accused of theft by a group of people and beaten to death!
“I saw it all! I know they are incredibly sincere! I know they are incredibly pure! Incredibly brave!”
"Each of us who chose to abandon the city back then has an inescapable responsibility!"
But they shouldn't be deserters!
Earlier, the old man who had gone mad suddenly knelt on the ground and wailed, "Lord Yan... Lord Yan... We are guilty..."
Yan Guanshan walked to his side and personally helped him up: "No, the fault does not lie with you."
The old man was in tears and could no longer stand.
This elderly woman is the child in the mother's womb in the video.
He was a witness to the town's growth, and also a person who inherited all of his parents' guilt and self-blame.
The burdens I've carried all my life have finally been poured out today.
Yan Guanshan walked over to the people in the region.
They had already stood up.
As a descendant of the Yan family, Yan Zhongqing was filled with respect.
"I hope you can help them be accepted by the world."
"They are not the ones who are wrong."
In the remote town of Huaixiang, burdened by guilt, they guarded their hometown in the wilderness for four generations and a hundred years, unable to return home.
Now, everything will finally settle down.
Gu Yan and the others exchanged glances and solemnly said, "Please rest assured, Senior Yan, we will definitely handle the town's affairs properly!"
Yan Guanshan handed them the evidence: "Please."
Yan Guanshan looked at Yan Wu, who trembled with excitement: "Yan...Yan the Martial God..."
"I have to go now."
Yan Wu stepped forward abruptly: "Tomorrow, tomorrow is the Martial God Celebration. Would you be so kind as to personally perform as a god?"
The Martial God Festival is a festival exclusively for the rural town of Huaixiang.
June 12th every year—the day that group of people arrived here.
On this day, the town holds a grand feast, celebrations, sacrifices, and performances.
The memorial service is to commemorate the compatriots who perished in the disaster of that year.
Aside from singing and dancing, the most important aspect of performance is "portraying the spirit."
Every year, they would select a young man to dress up as Yan Guanshan, play the role of the God of War, wield a long spear, and perform the priest's dance.
Yan Guanshan paused for a moment, then shook his head: "My obsession is over, I will not stay any longer."
