Summit of the Old Gods-Chapter 1151 - 1069: The Next Cycle of Reincarnation
The divine soul after death was completely devoured by the Jade Venerable.
The former Peak Master of Wuji Peak also vanished forever from this world, becoming nourishment for the Jade Venerable’s energy.
The Heavenly General of the Burning Gate, we are one less.
The Eight Great Divine Generals, now eternally missing one.
"Wuwu..." Qiao Yuansi buried her head in Jiang Ruyi’s embrace, unable to control her sobs.
On her ankle was a golden bell, a gift from Jin Que’er.
The two had established a close relationship in the Holy Spirit Mountain Realm, and during their time stationed in the Heavenly Realm, they often communicated privately through the Magic Artifact--Heavenly Sound Bell, encouraging each other to persevere through daily life.
Now, her sister Que’er was gone.
All that was left was the lonely Heavenly Sound Bell on her ankle.
"Phew~"
The mountain wind blew, carrying the cries of the young girl far, far away.
Jiang Ruyi wrapped an arm around Little Yuanxi, gently smoothing her hair, allowing the girl’s tears to soak her clothes, while glancing at the emperor-robed youth not far away.
This battle report was nothing less than a devastating blow.
Lu Ran had indeed faced numerous dangers along the way, but with ample strategy and support from many sides, the result was ultimately favorable.
Ambushes, sieges, infiltrations, defections...
The fact proved that the God Demon Camp was already rotten, and the Ran Sect had successfully overturned everything.
But confronting the Faceless Jade Venerable, everything changed! 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
It was undeniable, the Jade Venerable’s power was supreme, inherently suppressing the God and Demon alike, but fundamentally, the Ran Sect had never encountered such a situation before.
A massive number of dead and injured were now stacked upon Lu Ran’s shoulders.
Jiang Ruyi knew very well what kind of person he was, and he would probably be feeling particularly guilty.
"Sect Leader." A voice came, awakening the warriors immersed in the atmosphere of grief and repression.
Lu Ran slowly turned his head, looking towards the Dragon Guardian.
Yu Changsheng said, "Victory or defeat is a common occurrence among soldiers! In the struggle for survival, casualties are inevitable. We can erect monuments for the Heavenly General, the Golden Divine General, and the fallen God and Demons.
We can ensure their stories are passed down, immortal in the hearts of the people.
We must rally; only achieving final victory would honor the sacrifices of the warriors."
The Dragon Guardian’s words were strong and powerful, awakening everyone.
Lu Ran, expressionless, quietly watched Yu Changsheng.
The two exchanged gazes, the Dragon Guardian’s confident eyes gradually changed, his face turning pale, and then lowering his head.
"Sect Leader, the Dragon Guardian is right." Another female voice came through.
Lu Ran turned his eyes to see the Nightmare Guardian looking up towards him.
Deng Yuxiang said gravely, "Only by winning can we let their names and stories be passed on! Let all beings know what they sacrificed for the continuation of our race, for the Human World Home.
And only by winning can we console the spirits of the soldiers in the afterlife."
Lu Ran silently watched the woman.
She did not avert her gaze, instead looked softly at Lu Ran.
The huge stone hand fell into silence.
Until a dozen seconds later, another female voice called out: "Sect Leader."
In the hands of the Immortal Jasmine Divine Sculpture, there were not many people standing; it was the extraordinarily high-status Emperor Jun Tian speaking, who did not perform soldiers’ etiquette, nor did she call him "Ranran."
Qiao Wanjun softly advised, "Time is pressing now, and matters like memorials should be handled after victory. We should now investigate the Jade Venerable Clan, ascertain their next move, and discuss strategies against them.
Sect Leader, you are the leader of the Ran Sect, the only one among all gods who truly inspires and leads."
There was no need to complete the statement; the meaning was clear enough.
All Ran Sect Gods listened intently, only the Emperor Lu, who had saluted alongside the soldiers, slowly raised his head, looking at that figure of unrivaled charm.
Qiao Wanjun, sensing something, turned her head to look.
No need to deliberately search, she directly saw the only one among the gods who had lifted his head.
That was evidently the Heavenly Realm Body of the First-class Evil God Blood Skull.
Qiao Wanjun slightly furrowed her brows, realizing the strange expression on this Blood Skull.
He should have looked ferocious, with a sinister gaze, but at the moment, those blood-red pupils were filled with... um, complex emotions.
Complex emotions?
"I’ve already come up with an initial plan to deal with the Jade Venerable." A hoarse voice came from behind the Blood Crystal Mask.
Upon hearing this, everyone’s hearts raced and skin crawled!
"Ruyi, you manage the situation, I have some issues to handle." The hoarse voice lingered in the ears of all the gods.
For a time, many soldiers were worried, but dared not speak.
A few Gods and Demons instinctively looked up at the Master of Ran Sect, then nervously hung their heads.
Lu Ran named someone, "Wang Quan."
"At your service."
"Let’s go." With a wave of his hand, Lu Ran formed a Landing Mirror.
Wang Quan immediately stood up and walked towards Lu Ran.
The two, one human and one god, left one after the other, and with the disappearance of the mirror, the surroundings fell silent again.
Jiang Ruyi understood very well that Lu Ran was doing his utmost, tirelessly working for the victory of the Ran Sect.
But he... perhaps he should encourage the soldiers or share some plans to give confidence to the gods.
Jiang Ruyi sighed inwardly, knowing he also had a lot of emotions to process.
In the end, he was a young leader who had never faced such a significant setback and was incredibly emotional.
"In this battle, our Ran Sect suffered heavy losses, but we also killed four of the Jade Venerable’s true selves." Jiang Ruyi slowly spoke, "The soldiers will not have died in vain.
In the Sect Leader’s Sculpture Garden, our Ran Sect’s Faceless Stone Venerable will soon be completed."
For a moment, all the gods turned their gaze to the Lady of the Burning Gate.
The Faceless "Stone" Venerable?
