The senses between natural enemies were quite sharp.
When Ali sensed the massive amount of negative faith energy from the demon king's believers, the demon king's believers naturally also sensed the massive amount of positive faith energy from Ali.
Positive Faith Power and Negative Faith Power were two completely opposite existences.
The former represented trust, gratitude, hope, and other beautiful emotions. The latter, on the other hand, represented the complete opposite of the negative power of faith.
It was basically impossible for those who possessed the power of these two emotions to get along with each other.
After all, to be able to have these two types of faith energy meant that their personalities were completely different.
It would be strange if they could live in harmony.
As such, Ali could not stand the sight of Jacdo and his people, and he wanted to attack them at any moment. However, the demon king followers behind Jacdo were the same, and they all wanted to kill Ali.
It could be said that if it was not for Jacdo suppressing these demon king worshippers, the first thing they would have done upon seeing Ali would have been to attack him with their swords.
Of course, with Ali's strength, if they dared to attack him, the outcome would be certain.
The demon king's believers were quite strong.
To be able to become demon king's believers, they all had negative faith energy. Even though their personalities were quite twisted, their strength was not a problem, and they were all more powerful than ordinary people.
If it was an ordinary person, even if there were many people, they would not be a match for them.
However, this depended on who they were compared to.
Compared to ordinary people, they were naturally very strong, but compared to Ali, they could only be considered as trash.
After all, what were the heroes for?
Weren't they used to deal with evil people like them?
As such, it could be said that the demon king's believers and Ali could not stand each other and were always looking for opportunities to get rid of each other.
Jacdo watched this scene with interest.
To him, this rare scene was a great spice to his boring life.
Even if he did not do anything and just watched, it would be quite interesting.
Of course, to him, this outsider was quite interesting.
Before the hero's trial began, staying here and sensing the changes in this place was not a bad idea.
As he thought to himself, a black demon bird flew over and rushed towards Jacdo's body. However, before it could reach Jacdo's body, it was destroyed by Jacdo's powerful aura and fell from the sky.
"Aiya … there's another prey."
Jacdo turned and looked at the Demon Bird on the ground and could not help but laugh.
Even though he did not take the initiative to act, as the demon king and the source of all demon beasts, if Jacdo wanted to fight demon beasts, it would be a simple matter.
There was no need for him to do anything. All he had to do was release his aura slightly, and the group of demonic creatures would not be able to withstand his aura and die on the spot.
There was no need to do anything else.
Behind him, the demon king followers all had cold expressions as they charged forwards under Jacdo's orders, slaughtering the demon beasts.
Speaking of which, it was strange.
The demon beasts' power came from the demon king, and as the demon king, he had the authority to control all demon beasts in this world.
As the demon king's followers, they could more or less control demon beasts and use their power to achieve their goals.
As such, in the past, they had always been the ones who controlled demon beasts and wreaked havoc everywhere.
However, things were different now.
Under Jacdo's suppression, they obediently put on their armor and raised their blades at the demon beasts on the same side as them.
If this matter was spread, no one would believe it.
However, at this very moment, it had really happened just like that.
Thinking to there, the demon king's believers couldn't help but let out a deep sigh. At the same time, they gripped their swords even tighter.
In just a short period of time, countless demon beasts on the same side as the demon king followers had been killed.
.....
"Looks like things are going quite well."
Chen Heng looked around and sensed the changes in the town.
The surroundings of the town had been mostly cleared out, and there were no longer any traces of demon beasts.
Although it was still very barren, it was much better than the previous situation where the monsters were everywhere.
Leading his followers, Chen Heng walked through this region and could not help but nod.
The team that Chen Heng had formed to deal with demon beasts had been unstoppable.
However, this was not surprising.
After all, with the demon king, the source of all demon beasts, as well as the heroes of all evil lifeforms, it would be strange if the demon beasts could overturn the heavens.
Everything seemed to be going quite smoothly.
The town had successfully reclaimed the outer regions and the outer regions, bringing them back under its control.
Of course, there were also many achievements in other areas.
Most of the disaster victims had been evacuated, and Chen Heng had arranged for them to set up villages in other places. They would then slowly reestablish production bases.
After the outbreak of the Disaster of Monsters, the original production work had basically been destroyed.
Those monsters would not spare any life along the way. Not only would they kill all the livestock they raised, but the crops they planted would also be contaminated. It was obvious that they could no longer be used.
As such, using this time to reorganize the land and start production was the most important thing.
It would be too late to redistribute the land and have the ordinary disaster victims develop barren land.
The land that had not been planted was just barren land, and it would take at least one or two years before it could be put into production again.
As such, Chen Heng placed his focus on the land that had already been developed.
These lands had all been carefully reclaimed by the disaster victims before, so they could be considered to be directly usable.
As long as he could get rid of the polluted crops and have them return to the ground, everything would be fine.
It was already past the wheat planting season, but Chen Heng had found many other crops. Some were suitable for this season, so there was still time.
Even though the yield could not compare to traditional wheat, it was much better than not planting anything.
The massive number of people was mobilized, and the surroundings of the town were bustling with activity.
The people in the surroundings were all involved. Everyone was mobilized to participate in the reproduction.
Seeing such a scene, everyone could not help but feel delighted.
Chen Heng did not feel anything special.
It was just that as this process occurred, the faith energy he had once again increased. Compared to before, it had nearly doubled.
This was a great leap.
However, this meant that Chen Heng's current efforts had been successful.
After walking around the town and showing his face to the disaster victims, Chen Heng turned and left.
As the entire town slowly got on the right track, some things seemed to have begun to happen silently.
After two or so months passed, at some point, Chen Heng suddenly looked up at the sky.
A strong throbbing sensation suddenly appeared in his heart.
He instinctively looked up at the sky, and in the distance, he saw a crimson pillar rising into the sky, standing at the center of the world.
Vaguely, everything in this world symbolized beauty and hope, all kinds of beautiful emotions rippled, gathering in front of the group of heavenly pillars, forming a unique appearance.
"This is …"
Looking at this scene, Chen Heng's expression became serious.
The throbbing in his heart had never been so great before, and it was to the point that even Chen Heng could not ignore it.
This feeling originated from none other than the immense Power of Faith within his body.
It was the sense of faith energy that allowed him to sense that massive amount of faith energy in the distance.
As the faith energy sensed each other, a faint throbbing appeared, telling Chen Heng some information.
"The hero's legacy …"
Dismounting from his horse, Chen Heng held his hand over his heart and sensed that unique throbbing.
This scene, as well as the throbbing in Chen Heng's heart, came from this world's hero's legacy.
The demon disaster had ravaged the world, and the faith energy of all creatures had reached a peak, causing the hero's legacy to appear.
The throbbing was reminding those with sufficient Faith Energy to head to the location of the Hero's Legacy and undergo a trial there.
Those who passed the trial would become this era's hero.
Hero!
Ali abruptly woke up from that indescribable throbbing feeling.
He looked at the heavenly pillar rising into the sky and sensed that strange information before instinctively looking to the side.
Beside him, his good friend, James, had also turned around and was looking at him. His expression was one of shock and surprise.
"You also sensed it?"
Both of them spoke at the same time before looking at each other and smiling.
"As expected from my good friend."
To be able to sense the hero's legacy, this meant that both of them had the qualifications to become heroes and go through the hero's trial.
In other words, they both had the qualifications to become heroes.
Possessing this qualification had already imperceptibly represented many things.
This not only meant that the hero's legacy acknowledged them, but it also meant that they had enough faith energy and were righteous people.
Otherwise, they would not have sensed the hero's legacy's existence.
Thinking to there, Ali and James looked at each other and nodded; they had both made a decision.
As the two of them raised their heads, in another room, Jacdo also raised his head and looked into the air.
"The hero's legacy …"
He looked up at the sky, at the pure sun-like radiance, and at the pillar that shot into the sky. At this moment, he couldn't help but smile. "How nostalgic."
Every time he woke up, he would see such a scene.
However, even after so many times, he still felt that it was very grand.
This heavenly pillar was the gathering of all positive faith energy in the world, gathering at a certain time and place before erupting out.
It was the most majestic scene in the world.
No matter how many times he looked at it, he still felt that it was grand.
Jacdo raised his head and looked at the heavenly pillar in the air.
Within his vision, he could clearly see many scenes within the heavenly pillar.
There were children looking innocent and ignorant, and there were parents' deep love for their children. There were also all sorts of scenes where the purest and most beautiful Light of the Soul blossomed in the hearts of many creatures.
It was this massive Light of the Soul, the gathering of countless hopes, that finally formed this massive radiance, which became the existence known as the Hero.
The so-called heroes, in essence, were people who shouldered these hopes.
It was because of this that he was able to unleash enough power and become one of the main characters of this world, fighting against the demon king who represented all negative faith energy.
"What a grand scene … but this time, it should be quite interesting."
Thinking back to Chen Heng's appearance, Jacdo could not help but laugh.
Unlike in the past, when there was almost no suspense, there was an additional variable in this hero's legacy.
Chen Heng's positive faith energy was the most powerful he had seen out of all the challengers, and from the current situation, it seemed that there was no limit to it.
Faith energy was a kind of power, but it was also a kind of poison.
If one's potential was not high enough, they would slowly be corroded by it and become a completely different existence.
Without enough potential, one would not be able to bear this massive amount of faith energy, much less reach Chen Heng's level.
The reason why the demon king and hero could do this was because they were creatures of this world and naturally had this world's power, which made them immune to some of the effects.
That was why they were able to endure this level of Faith Power without being affected too much.
However, once they left this world, or if this world's legacy had a ruler, this ability would immediately disappear, and they would be no different from ordinary people.
When that time came, they could only rely on their own potential to resist the corrosion of faith energy, and they would become ordinary people.
Of course, this was in the future.
At the very least, right now, Jacdo felt great anticipation and wanted to see just what the final result would be.
Between Chen Heng, an outsider, and Ali, a back-up hero, who would be the final victor?
Jacdo was filled with anticipation.
In actuality, it was not just Jacdo who was filled with anticipation; everyone else was the same.
"The hero's trial is finally about to begin."
Looking at the heavenly pillar in the distance, Chen Heng lightly sighed.
The heavenly pillar in the distance was none other than something formed from the accumulation of a massive amount of faith energy.
However, it seemed that only those who had the right to participate in the trial could see it.
Chen Heng had already tested it before.
Apart from Chen Heng, no one else could see that heavenly pillar at all.
In the eyes of these ordinary people, there was no change in their surroundings. Nothing had changed.
As such, if one wanted to see this heavenly pillar, one had to meet certain conditions.
Those who did not have the right could not see it at all.
Chen Heng guessed that apart from himself, only a few people, including Ali and Jacdo, would be able to see it.
There would not be too many of them.
Perhaps this was also the reason why the records did not describe the Trial of the Hero in detail.
After all, if one could not even see it, how could they describe it?
For ordinary people, this might be the sudden appearance of a hero of this era.
As for the trial itself, outsiders did not know about it at all.
Chen Heng understood and slowly put down the things in his hands and started to organize them.
"Send word."
He said softly to a servant, "After a while, I will be going on a long trip."
The servant at the side acknowledged, then respectfully retreated and left the place.
Only Chen Heng was left in the room.
However, he did not show any intention of leaving and only silently sat there as if he was waiting for someone.
Not too long later, someone knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
Chen Heng did not even look at it and spoke casually.
With a creak, the door to the room opened, and Ari and James walked in.
"Mr. Ed."
The two of them walked over to Chen Heng and respectfully bowed to him.
"What is it?"
Looking at the two of them, Chen Heng smiled, "Aren't you resting at this time? Why have you come here? "
"We're here to say our goodbyes."
Ali and James looked at each other, then nodded and said softly.
"Goodbyes?"
Chen Heng understood, but he put on a surprised expression, "What is it?"
Weren't things going well before? Why are you suddenly leaving? "
"It's not because of Mr. Ed."
Ali shook his head and looked a bit apologetic, "It's because of our own reasons.
There's something that we have to do, so we have to leave for a while.
"Don't worry, after this is done, we will definitely come back one day in the future."
"It's fine."
Chen Heng shook his head and smiled, "Since you have things to do, I won't stop you.
If there's anything you need, please let me know.
No matter what, we're still friends, so there's no need to be so polite. "
"Mr. Ed."
Hearing this, both Ali and James were moved, and they couldn't help but sigh.
In actuality, if it wasn't for the hero's trial, they would not want to leave Chen Heng's place for now.
They could learn many things from Chen Heng, and they could also participate in the construction and help the people live better lives.
This was something that they would not be able to obtain anywhere else.
Moreover, Jacdo and his people were here.
They were all evil people, and if they stayed here, they would bring destruction to this peaceful place.
