In midair, Ling Xian announced in a confident tone that this battle was over and that the curtains had been drawn.
Instantly, cheers shook the sky and did not stop.
Everyone was excited to the extreme and relaxed to the extreme.
Even though the process was difficult and too much blood was spilled, You Chen was dead. This meant the war was over and there would be no more fights.
At least for the next thousand years, the foreign demons won't come again.
"It's over. This long war has finally come to an end."
"Haha, brother, did you see that? The Xuan Wu Continent has won this war!"
"Yeah, after more than a decade of bloody battles, we have finally won the light."
Everyone exclaimed. As much as they were excited, they were also a little sad.
Ling Xian softly sighed as well.
The Black Tortoise Continent had indeed won this battle. However, the fruits of this victory were piled up with blood.
Almost all the different forces were annihilated. The three alliances were crippled. Even the Emperor God Clan lost more than half of their powerhouses.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that after this war, the Xuan Wu Continent has been greatly weakened. If the foreign kinds were to invade again, they would only need to send out a few eighth leveled cultivators to conquer them.
"We have been greatly weakened. Without hundreds of years, we will not be able to recover." The elder in gold sighed.
"Luckily, the foreign kinds gave us a thousand years." Ling Xian consoled.
"The foreign kinds' words cannot be trusted." The elder in gold shook his head.
"The foreign kinds' words cannot be trusted. But after this war, the foreign kinds must have sacrificed a lot."
"Even if we wanted to, it would be hard to start a war during this period of time."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "Okay, let's not think too much. What we need to do next … is to celebrate. We need to rebuild everyone's confidence!"
Then, he flapped around his sleeve. Spiritual energy condensed into cups that landed in everyone's hand.
Then, a jar of wine appeared. Under the control of Ling Xian's spiritual energy, he accurately filled every single cup.
Immediately, the aroma filled the air, intoxicating everyone.
At the same time, they were a little confused and couldn't understand why Ling Xian was doing this.
"The Xuan Wu Continent has won this war."
"This victory was not easy to come by. It belongs to everyone who has fought until now, and it also belongs to those who died."
"So, I offer two cups of wine to each and every hero!"
Ling Xian erased his smile and glanced over everyone. Then, he raised his cup high, "This first cup of wine is to the invincible Emperor!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he tilted his hand, allowing the wine to spill onto the ground.
Seeing this, everyone understood. They all raised their cups and soaked the ground.
"The second toast is to the martyrs who have died. They are glorious, great, and well-deserved heroes!"
Ling Xian flapped around his sleeve and filled his cup again. Then, he raised his cup up high and said in a low voice, "I hope they have a safe journey!"
"May they have a safe journey!"
Everyone shouted in unison, carrying pain and grief as they scattered the wine in their cups onto the ground.
"The third cup, I would like to toast everyone here."
"Although you are still alive, your contributions are no less than those of the dead."
"All of you have contributed greatly to our victory. Every single one of you is worthy of being called a hero."
Ling Xian's expression was serious as he raised his cup towards everyone. In a low voice, he said, "May your souls never perish and protect the mountains and rivers!"
"May our souls never perish and protect the mountains and rivers!"
Everyone said in unison. They felt their blood boiling and their hearts were pumping.
This was all because Ling Xian called them heroes. This moved them and their eyes exploded with confidence.
This brightened the elder in gold. He knew that Ling Xian's words had rebuilt everyone's confidence.
Or in other words, he had left a seed of fire in everyone's heart. One day, this seed will for sure blossom into a bright flame!
"Haha, come, let's drink to the brim!"
Ling Xian laughed out loud. He wanted to drink all the wine in his cup, but because he was a soul, he could not drink. He could only raise his hand.
Everyone didn't mind. They all drank all the wine. Instantly, their chests felt like they were on fire and they began to cough violently.
However, everyone was laughing heartily. Their joy was evident on their faces.
"Three cups have been drunk. Next, let us drink until we are drunk!"
Ling Xian laughed brightly. Bottles after bottles of wine flew out and aroma filled the air.
However, just as everyone was about to drink, the elder in gold suddenly spoke.
"Young Master, you forgot someone. He is the one we should respect the most."
Hearing this, Ling Xian frowned, "Who?"
"This person, I think everyone here knows." The elder smiled mysteriously, startling everyone. Then, they all laughed as well.
This made Ling Xian even more suspicious. He really couldn't remember who he had missed out.
"This person is far away but right before our eyes."
"In this battle, he has made great contributions and surpassed the Emperor God."
"Young Master, you really can't guess?"
The elder in gold smiled warmly and stared at Ling Xian.
Everyone else did the same.
This made Ling Xian realize that if he still couldn't figure out what was going on, then he would be an idiot.
"So you are talking about me."
Ling Xian shook his head and waved his hand, "How am I considered to have made great contributions and surpassed the Emperor God? You are flattering me."
"Not at all. If it weren't for you, the Red Valley would've been destroyed."
"If it weren't for you, the Valley of Qing Yun would've fallen as well."
"If it weren't for you, the demons of the eighth level would've taken over the continent and we wouldn't have had the chance to form the Emperor God's clone."
"If you didn't stop You Chen and bought the Emperor God precious time, he wouldn't have been able to show up."
The elder in gold erased his smile and carefully listed out all of Ling Xian's contributions.
Everyone's expression changed and the way they looked at him became more and more respectful.
"All of these things, which one of them isn't a great contribution? Adding them all together, how can they not be considered to be great contributions? "
The elder in gold's voice was firm. He turned around to look at everyone and shouted, "Don't you think so?"
"Yes!"
Everyone shouted themselves hoarse, shocking all nine levels of heaven and all 10 levels of hell.
Ling Xian froze at this. A wave of warmth flowed through his body.
"Then, what should we do next?" The elder in gold shouted and raised his glass.
"To you!" Everyone said in unison. They didn't say anything in advance and they didn't make eye contact. But they said these three words at the same time.
Because right now, to toast to Ling Xian was everyone's wish.
"Hahaha, alright. Then what are you waiting for?"
The elder in gold laughed out loud, "Raise your glasses and let us toast to you!"
Hearing this, everyone raised their glasses and said these three words in unison.
"To you!"
This statement was earth-shattering and earth-shattering. The spiritual beings inside the six heavens were stunned. They couldn't understand what kind of charisma could make these people so respectful.
Ling Xian was stunned as well. He felt a wave of warmth flowing through his body and into his heart.
This feeling was warm and wonderful.
It made him feel like all the running around and risking his life had meaning at this moment.
"Haha, everyone, let's drink until we're drunk!"
After a bright laugh, Ling Xian disappeared. When he reappeared, his soul had returned to his body.
Then, he raised a jar of alcohol and chugged it down. It was as if he wouldn't stop until he was drunk!
