Chapter 849: Perseverance
The mortals on this land work from sunrise to sunset and rest from sunset to sunrise, and their lives are peaceful and harmonious.
The mortal world was rich in spiritual energy and had four seasons, which soon nurtured countless plants and animals.
The First God was troubled by trivial matters every day, so he mixed his blood with clay figures and molded out a group of guards with their own original power.
This is what later generations called gods.
Their duty is to protect mortals and maintain order.
But as their power grew, the contradictions became more and more obvious.
Even huge battles broke out, resulting in homes being shattered and mountains and rivers collapsing. This was an ancient battle.
The disheartened First God divided this world into two parts. The gods occupied the upper world, entered the divine court, were deified, and enjoyed the incense of mortals.
Mortals are in the center, illuminated by the sun and the moon, and protected by the gods.
When animals and plants cultivate and transform into human form, they enter the demon world.
Later, the demon world and the underworld were distinguished to ensure the normal operation of this world.
At that time, after the First God created the world, his power was weakened, and he became disillusioned with this world, so he decided to fall into a deep sleep.
While he was sleeping, in order to suppress the divine world, he selected divine guards to guard the ancient battlefield and maintain the balance of the three realms.
The ancient battlefield is located at the junction of this world and the void, and it is also to prevent the monsters in the void from passing through the ancient battlefield and reaching the three realms.
They usually do not participate in the minor conflicts among the Three Realms. The order given to them by the God of Beginning is to leave the ancient battlefield only when life and death are at stake.
Originally, the divine guards had stayed in the ancient battlefield for these years and ignored worldly affairs, but at some point, turbid air enveloped the ancient battlefield.
The turbid air filled with desire is a tonic that nourishes evil, and it actually makes this strange beast become extremely ferocious.
What made them even more angry was that the gods were plotting against them.
Using the foul air to seal this place, they were trapped here.
"You... have been in the ancient battlefield for tens of thousands of years? And haven't taken a single step forward?" Cancan's eyes widened in shock.
Chen Shuang smiled bitterly: "Well, the First God has never awakened and has never called us back. We can't leave here." Moreover, their strength has become increasingly weak in guarding the void over the years, and soon it will dissipate.
They could not sense the presence of the First God.
The First God, have you given up on this world?
Cancan didn’t know how to comfort her. She just stood up, and her body swayed. She thought she had fainted from hunger and couldn’t stand steadily.
Then I heard the elders rushing out of the house: "Quick, hide inside the house. The monsters are attacking the barrier!"
Chen Shuang's expression changed and she rushed into the house holding Cancan.
A group of elders led the divine guards and stood in the sky, their expressions were stern, and they couldn't stop shivering.
"Too many, too many... How could this happen?" Chen Shuang murmured as she looked at the strange beasts coming from all directions, as if something was driving them closer.
"Cancan, stay in the house and don't leave."
"No matter what happens, don't come out." Chen Shuang raised his sword and rushed into the dark sky to fight.
There were also a few young boys and girls with low spiritual power, as well as some elderly people hiding in the house.
The barrier above his head was crumbling, and the light was becoming dimmer. Even within the barrier, one could hear the roar of the strange beasts outside, as if they could become physical, which was terrifying.
Blood was spilled above the barrier and soft sobs were heard in the house.
"Is the Divine Guard clan really going to perish here?"
“Please ask the God of Beginning to bestow his grace…”
"Shi Shen, have you given up on us?"
"We have guarded this place for tens of thousands of years, and our souls cannot leave until we die. We pray to the God of Beginning to bestow blessings on us. Help us to drive away the strange beasts and protect the three realms."
"Elder!" The elder was seen having his chest pierced by the fangs of the void beast.
Chen Zhou's heart skipped a beat, and he turned around and shouted, "A Shuang..." The twins, boy and girl, already had a tacit understanding, and Chen Shuang immediately took his place.
Chen Zhou immediately found the energy to carry the elder back into the barrier.
The ground was covered in blood. The elder's vitality was rapidly fading, his face gradually turned pale, and several young boys were so scared that they started crying.
With a click, everyone felt a chill all over their body, and Cancan even got goose bumps.
Chen Shuang's face was pale and bloodless: "The barrier... is broken."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the barrier above his head falling like a star.
The moment the barrier was broken, murderous intent came from all directions. The air was mixed with a thick and rich smell of blood. Cancan took a breath and immediately started to retch.
"Is today the day when the Divine Guards will be exterminated?"
"Heaven wants to destroy my Divine Guard clan. Heaven wants to destroy my Divine Guard clan!" The elder cried bitterly.
The Divine Guards were all in tears and could only force themselves to retreat.
"Quick, retreat!"
retreat? Where to retreat to?
They cannot leave the ancient battlefield, and are supported by the spiritual energy of the Eternal God. Without the barrier, it is even difficult to protect oneself.
The Divine Guards are lingering on, desperately waiting for their master.
“We can’t let them enter the Three Realms, otherwise, it will be as the God Realm wishes!” Once the Void Beasts enter the Three Realms, the mortal world will inevitably be the one to be abandoned.
The Divine Guards stood up and looked at each other with a smile in their calm eyes.
There was a smile in his eyes, but there was also a lingering bitterness.
"Cancan, we will gather the strength of our entire clan to send you out. Just keep going forward and don't look back..."
"We are destined to defend this land until death!"
