Chapter 537 Tremble

Jiang State Capital .

Meng Chuan was alone in the city, watching the celebrating Jiang State Capital .

After coming victorious in the war, the world celebrated for a month . It wasn’t just Jiang State Capital celebrating . Every large city in the world and many villages were celebrating as well .

“Nice . ”

“Beautiful . ”

“Another one . ”

People chuckled as they watched the acrobatic performances . To ordinary people, the feeling of victory wasn’t a strong one! This was because in the past few decades, even the demons had abandoned the unstable World Entrances . It had been a long time since ordinary people had encountered any demon threats . Instead, many of the celebrations in the world made them happier .

The white-haired Meng Chuan walked alone in the crowd . Mortals couldn’t see him, nor could they sense the human world’s strongest expert walking past him .

We’ve won the war . However, my mental state has been greatly affected by the Chaos Hole after all these years . It’s very difficult for me to feel happy . However, my current mental state is different from Nirvana of the past .

I… Meng Chuan was somewhat puzzled .

His Essence Soul avatar walked through the city until it went out of the city .

He looked at villages . They were also celebrating, but at the same time, villagers were doing some farm work .

He looked at the rivers and lakes . Fishermen were still fishing and celebrating January . It was impossible for ordinary people to enjoy themselves for a month . They still had to work and support their families .

He saw many merchant caravans still rushing towards the cities and transporting the large amounts of materials needed for the celebrations .

My current mental state isn’t Nirvana . It’s not happiness or excitement either . What is it? At his current realm, Meng Chuan couldn’t even tell .

He felt relaxed, slightly tipsy, but his Essence Soul was trembling . It resembled trembles of excitement . This feeling filled Meng Chuan’s heart . He couldn’t help but walk around the world as he carefully observed it .

Archean Mountain, in a large hall in a Grotto-Heaven .

Three Godfiend disciples were placing massive numbers of dossiers on shelves . At this point, Meng Chuan walked in . “Master . ” The three Godfiend disciples bowed respectfully .

“Are all the dossiers here?” asked Meng Chuan .

“The dossiers from Two World Island and Black Sand Grotto-Heaven have been sent over,” said a Godfiend disciple respectfully . “Among them, there are more than 230,000 Godfiend dossiers . There are even more mortal dossiers . Since the war began, billions of mortals have participated in the war . Therefore, most of them are just dossiers with their names . Only those who contributed greatly would have a special dossier . ”

“Meng Chuan nodded slightly . Okay, continue your work . ”

This was the decision of the three sects under his leadership .

He gathered all the dossiers of the Godfiends and mortals that had participated in the war . Each of the three sects had copies of them . No matter what, they had to let future descendants know about their valiance and sacrifices .

Meng Chuan casually picked up a dossier .

“Master, there are Godfiend dossiers here . The shelves behind contain the mortal dossiers,” reminded the Godfiend disciple softly .

Meng Chuan nodded slightly and read .

This dossier was about a powerful Godfiend from 900 years ago . Marquis East MartyrZhang Xing . When the Demon Realm and the human world gradually neared one another, unstable World Entrances just started appearing in Archean Eon Realm . Back then, Marquis East MartyrZhang Xing-was only a Great Solar Godfiend . He saw a city that had been massacred . No one survived in that county city . The scene was like a living hell…

Ever since then, Marquis East Martyr, Zhang Xing, busily hunted down demons . However, the unstable World Entrances’ sudden appearances still caused massacres to happen in cities and villages constantly . It was a nightmare for the humans of that time .

After stable World Entrances appeared, Marquis East Martyr Zhang Xing began guarding a city pass .

Later, he became a Marquis Godfiend .

He fought demons his entire life . He saw more and more city passes appear, and more unstable World Entrances . As a Marquis Godfiend, he was very safe during the war’s early stages, but many mortals had died during that time .

Marquis East Martyr died in his hometown, but he had contributed greatly after spending his entire life fighting the demons .

After reading the dossier about Marquis East Martyr, Zhang Xing, Meng Chuan walked forward and picked up another dossier .

This was a dossier about an outer sect disciple .

Outer sect disciples like Fairy Meng had never cultivated on Archean Mountain for long .

This outer sect disciple was called An Tong . He was born 800 years ago . An Tong was at the Impervious realm and the Core Condensation stage when he was 19 . He was considered one of the strongest mortals . Back then, military conscription hadn’t been implemented because the pressure on the humans guarding the city passes wasn’t too great . It was on a voluntary basis .

An Tong bade farewell to his parents when he was 19 . He headed to a city pass in high spirits . He became a soldier and fought the demons .

After fighting the demons for six years, he made immense contributions several times . During this period of time, the city pass had been breached once . More than half of the city pass’s soldiers died . Only after the Godfiend reinforcement arrived did the remaining soldiers survive . An Tong had luckily survived . This was his greatest life-and-death experience before he became a Godfiend .

When he was 25, he had earned enough credits to challenge the Life-and-Death juncture and successfully become a Godfiend . He then stayed home for three years under the orders of his parents . He got married and had children .

Three years later, he returned to the military . At that time, it wasn’t compulsory for every outer sect Godfiend to participate in the war, but An Tong continued fighting .

This way… An Tong guarded a city pass for 65 years until the demons planned an all-out attack . In order to stop the demons, An Tong ultimately died at the city pass .

Antong, muttered Meng Chuan silently .

He was an outer sect disciple who ultimately became an Indestructible Godfiend . Outer sect disciples never cultivated on Archean Mountain for long, but in reality, they were many in number .

Humanity couldn’t give them enough resources . They even needed to exchange credits for the resources required to challenge the Life-and-Death juncture themselves! After that, they were left to fend for themselves . However, these outer sect disciples had contributed greatly in the war against the demons . Far more outer sect disciples had died than the Godfiends from the three sects . They were extremely important .

Earth Net required a large number of ordinary Godfiends .

Many city passes needed the help of ordinary Godfiends that weren’t from the three sects .

Meng Chuan read the dossiers one by one and continued walking towards the back .

He finally reached the end .

Meng Chuan picked up a dossier .

“Wang Fu, Wang Changyu, Wang Ergou, Wang Sanmao…”

Meng Chuan’s heart trembled as he read the dense list of names .

All of them were names . Names filled one page after another .

After flipping through the dossier, Meng Chuan spotted a few words .

“On 9th April during the 19th year of Tian An’s reign of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Quyang Pass was breached, all 19,302 mortal soldiers in the city were wiped out . ”

Meng Chuan’s hand trembled slightly . He closed the dossier and picked up another dossier .

This one was filled with names as well…

One dossier after another .

One pile after another .

They numbered in the billions .

Almost all of them contained names only . Meng Chuan looked at the countless names and felt countless gazes on him . Countless people were looking at him . When Meng Chuan reached the end, there were no more names, but relics left behind on many battlefields .

“Dad, Mom, I’ve reached Qinyang Pass .

“Don’t worry . My saber art is very powerful . Those demons can’t threaten me at all . I promise you that I will definitely return…” This was a letter . Only half of the letter remained . It was probably a letter that a soldier had yet to send back .

Many items were placed on the shelves, and words were carved on the shelves . “Third year of Chunping’s reign of the Great Zhou Dynasty . Qinyang Pass was breached . Items left behind . ” It was unknown who the owners of these many relics were, so they couldn’t be sent back . Earth Net collected them and stored them in Archean Mountain’s classified sections .

Meng Chuan silently stared at the countless relics . He turned his head to look at the countless dossiers . It was as though he had traveled through spacetime and saw billions of people . They smiled at Meng Chuan or nodded with a smile . All of them were smiling .

At that moment, Meng Chuan finally understood why he was trembling after winning the war .

He sat cross-legged .

It was as though billions of people were watching him . Meng Chuan waved his hand, and a long painting floated in front of him . He picked up a brush, one that had been dabbed in ink . He began to move the brush . At that moment, the intense feelings—which made his Essence Soul tremble—made him want to depict the truth . Even his mental state that was trying to return to Nirvana couldn’t suppress it .
