Outer realm, rogue planet.
Looking at the human warriors who had recovered their strength and broken free from the runic chains, Donghuang's avatar was filled with indescribable shock.
After the Battle of the Three Realms, in order to prevent humans from rising in the outer realm, Donghuang's main body had chosen to leave the Three Realms and continue his pursuit.
During this period, his main body had first killed Human Ancestor Kong Yi. After confirming that his soul had dissipated, he had targeted Human Ancestor Zhu Shan, who was also fleeing, and captured him and all his clansmen.
However, his main body hadn't directly killed Zhu Shan.
This was because he hadn't been able to find any traces of the last Human Ancestor, Shaohao. Thus, he had set up a trap to lure Shaohao over.
It was also at that time that he had left his avatar to lie in ambush and set up a sealing barrier. His goal was to kill all the human warriors who had escaped into the outer realm.
However, the avatar hadn't met Human Ancestor Shaohao. Instead, it had met Human Ancestor Kong Yi, who he had thought had dissipated long ago.
What surprised him even more was that the over a hundred human warriors who served as bait and were chained to the stone pillars had broken free from their seals and regained their unparalleled fighting strength.
Back then, he had personally seen these human warriors on their last breaths. Their bodies had been torn apart by the black crows, and their souls had been on the brink of collapse under the harsh weather …
How had he done it?
He subconsciously turned to look at Kong Yi, who was still brimming with battle intent despite having lost his head. Then, he looked at Zhu Shan, who was leading the charge. Zhu Shan's body was so battered that it looked like it would collapse at any moment.
Finally, he looked at the players who had been stopped behind the barrier.
Donghuang's avatar's expression gradually turned resolute. He extended his hand and began controlling the "light figures" formed by the prayer beads to fight Zhu Shan and the others.
Humans couldn't be left alive!
At that moment, he wanted to break through this line of defense and kill all the future humans!
Under the personal control of Donghuang's avatar, the hundreds of light figures formed by the prayer beads had strength comparable to immortals. They formed a starlight formation, and like the sharpest spears, they charged towards the supposedly decaying warriors.
At that moment, the hundreds of spears pointed at the sky filled with light figures. His face was expressionless, and his messy hair fluttered in the wind. However, his eyes revealed endless battle intent.
They formed an unshakable line of defense to protect the human descendants behind them, as well as the future and hope of the human race.
As the light figures approached, Zhu Shan roared.
"Kill!"
The hundred people roared in unison. They lowered their bodies and waved their spears at the same time, their battle intent soaring.
In the face of death, they weren't afraid.
It was because they saw the future of the human race, and even more so saw countless juniors with great potential. Right now, they no longer had any regrets.
What they needed to do now was to protect the future and preserve this spark that could start a prairie fire in the future.
They would never take a step back. This was the promise they made to the countless human descendants behind them.
Just as Zhu Shan had said, they were warriors, and dying in battle was the fate of warriors!
At this moment, no matter how dazzling the starlight filled the sky, the line of defense forged by their flesh and blood did not budge.
Seeing this, Donghuang's clone's expression turned extremely gloomy.
At this moment, three of the prayer beads had shattered, and the remaining six were blocking Kong Yi's attempt to break out of the encirclement. The remaining one could be controlled, but it was unable to break through the ancient warriors' defense line and kill the future of the human race.
The human race was a powerful force of the past. However, the human race had displayed tenacious combat power, making him feel troubled. Everything had exceeded his expectations.
After thinking for a while, he decisively took out another thought. He turned into a light figure and charged at the players.
The pressure was reduced. Kong Yi, who had lost his head, increased the power of his ax. He kept attacking the boundary formed by the thought.
At this moment, Donghuang's clone could no longer sit still. He finally stood up and flew toward Kong Yi.
The boundary's power was mobilized and surged into Donghuang's clone. He formed a seal with one hand, and the lightning seal formed. The dark clouds in the sky surged, and with a loud boom, a thick bolt of lightning smashed down from the sky, blasting Kong Yi's body.
Blood splattered and flowed down his body. Kong Yi didn't stop swinging his ax.
Protecting the human race was a mission that had been imprinted in his soul. It had been so in the past, and it hadn't changed now.
Boom! The burning ax seemed to be roaring, and the boundary formed by the thought beads shook violently.
Seeing this, Donghuang's clone made another hand seal. Several bolts of lightning struck down and struck Kong Yi's body.
He had never doubted Kong Yi's strength.
Back then, even though the Human Emperor had disappeared, the eight Human Ancestors had joined forces to severely injure the other Celestial Emperor, Taishang.
In fact, what shocked him the most was Kong Yi's tenacity.
He had been like this since the Battle of the Three Realms. He had dragged his heavily injured body and led his clansmen to the outer realm. He would rather die than surrender. Later, when he was being hunted by his main body, he had never compromised. Even though the road ahead had been bumpy, he had never thought of giving up.
However, just when he thought that Kong Yi had become a thing of the past, he had actually returned.
He was as tenacious as ever, unwilling to compromise. His determination was as strong as ever.
The hardships hadn't smoothed out his edges. He was still the same Kong Yi. Even though his combat power was no longer as strong as before, his spirit had never changed.
Under the attack of the lightning, Kong Yi's body trembled. Blood flowed down like sweat. The power attacking the boundary became weaker and weaker.
Seeing this, Donghuang Taiyi smiled again.
So what if you're strong? You're still exhausted.
At that moment, he suddenly turned his head and looked into the distance, at the area where the players were.
Flames. Flames that blotted out the sky dyed half the sky red and stung the eyes.
At that moment, the bodies of the human ancient warriors were burning. Their physical bodies were slowly devoured by the flames, revealing their solid blue souls.
Facing the light and shadow battle formed by the two prayer beads, the human ancient warriors decisively abandoned their physical bodies and burned their souls …
When the flames faded, many young figures appeared in the sky above the battlefield.
They raised their spears in high spirits. It was as if they were in the prosperous era of the human race.
"Old friends, I bid you farewell here. May the human race continue to prosper!" Zhu Shan, who was in the lead, turned to look at his comrades.
After abandoning their physical bodies, these old friends became extremely young in Zhu Shan's eyes. They looked exactly the same as he remembered when they were young.
That was an era that he couldn't return to. It was also a time when the human race had flourished.
Back then, they represented the new generation and future of the human race.
However, the future was behind them now, and they were just a group of elders who were about to decay. All they could do was to burn their last bit of strength and protect them until the end of their lives.
"Roar!" Hundreds of spears were raised and slammed down, creating ripples in the air.
The price of burning their souls was to disappear forever. However, none of them regretted it. Instead, they smiled.
When the light and shadow battle arrived, the human ancient warriors under the blue soul soared into the sky and faced them head-on.
In the battle, Zhu Shan's soul was penetrated by the light and shadow again and again, becoming thinner and thinner. However, he still rushed to the front.
Because he was the human ancestor.
It wasn't a name, but a mission and a heavy burden.
When the starlight gathered and his soul was completely torn apart, Zhu Shan roared his last cry in this world.
"The human race is immortal!"
"Roar!" More than a hundred ancient warriors shouted in unison and respectfully sent off this forerunner of the Human Ancestor Race. Then, they once again threw themselves into the battle.
This scene deeply shocked the players and Lu Wu, who was behind the scenes.
Back then, North Sea was the same. She chose to fight against the heavens for him and helped him escape the crisis of the God's Seal. Later on, the Great Emperor of Dong Yue chose to bear the consequences of his mistake and paid the price of a law …
At this moment, these human ancient warriors were the same. Even if they were to burn their souls, they would protect the descendants of the human race.
Along the way, Lu Wu realized that although he was carrying a heavy burden, there were many strangers who used their lives as light to illuminate his path.
It turned out that he wasn't alone on this path. Other than Bei Li, he didn't have anyone to rely on. In fact, he just didn't notice the followers hiding in the dark. They had always been there …
However, at every critical moment, there would always be someone who would walk out from the darkness and choose to accompany him with their lives …
…
Seeing these human ancient warriors burning their souls and choosing this battle method, the East Emperor's incarnation was stunned.
At this moment, Kong Yi's body, which was sealed, started burning.
Like the human ancient warriors, he was exhausted and chose to burn his soul in exchange for the last bit of strength.
Although he had lost his head, Kong Yi still remembered what he said before.
He said to the ancient warriors,
"I'll bring you home!"
Now, he went back on his words and did not do what he said.
The continuous fall of the ancient warriors made Kong Yi's heart ache.
However, he didn't choose to give up.
He used to be a player, so he knew that the future of the players was the future of the human race. As long as they were alive, the golden age of the human race would eventually arrive.
Therefore, he couldn't go back on his words this time. In order to protect the players, he chose to burn himself like the ancient warriors.
His blood was boiling in the flames, and his body was being eaten by the flames bit by bit. Then, a blue soul emerged.
The flames on the battle axe turned blue at this moment. As Kong Yi waved it, a dazzling blue light burst out.
Boom!
A crack appeared on the crystal formed by the prayer beads, and it started to spread in all directions.
At this moment, the seal, which had withstood countless slashes, could no longer bear the burden.
Under the disbelieving gaze of the East Emperor's incarnation, Kong Yi, who had lost his body, broke through the seal and attacked.
The world in front of him was instantly engulfed in blue flames …
The East Emperor's incarnation struggled violently, but his headless body held him tightly. With a roar, the blue flames shot up into the sky.
The violent explosion shook the earth. At this moment, the outer seal lost control and suddenly shattered. Lu Wu, who was behind the scenes, also sensed the existence of all the players.
He silently kept all the players, including the souls of the players who had died in the battle against the Black Raven Army, into his artifact. Then, he turned his head to look at the center of the explosion.
At this moment, a figure climbed up from the deep pit, trembling. He looked extremely pathetic.
He turned to look at the devastation around him, but he still had a smile on his face.
Since Kong Yi and the ancient warriors were dead, it was time to kill the younger generation of the human race. Although the process was extremely arduous, he still won in the end.
However, when he raised his head, he saw a figure floating above his head, staring at him coldly.
He was very familiar with the aura that this person exuded, and he couldn't help but shiver.
"The emperor!" the East Emperor's incarnation cried out.
This was a completely unfamiliar and young figure. He had never seen him before, but the aura he exuded was unique to the emperor.
Fear emerged from the bottom of his heart. Although he was only the incarnation of the East Emperor and not his real body, he still had his own feelings and emotions. He was genuinely afraid of the emperor who once stood at the peak of power in the Three Realms.
