He was determined to forge his own path.

So, when he learned that he could explore ancient ruins, Bai Zi Suo resolutely set out, hoping to find his own path within the relics of the past.

And now, it seemed his aspiration was about to be realized!

Xu Heng observed the expressions on Bai Zi Suo's face—excitement, joy, anxiety, worry—all these emotions were surfacing on Bai Zi Suo's face at this moment.

Although Bai Zi Suo was about the same age as Wang Ye, when compared to Wang Ye, he was somewhat lacking.

Certain expressions and thoughts were plainly visible on his face, unlike Wang Ye, the sly old coin, who even if he had feelings or thoughts of some sort, kept them hidden, not letting others see them.

Of course, to them, Wang Ye was hardly human...they never regarded Wang Ye as a young person.

Bai Zi Suo's expression greatly satisfied Xu Heng, who then spoke with a sudden seriousness, "Bai Zi Suo!"

"Yes!"

Bai Zi Suo straightened his back and shouted loudly, his face solemn and reverent.

"Today, I invite you to join the Military Department as a platoon leader. The specific division will be arranged after you formally report to the Military Department upon exiting the ancient ruins. Do you accept?"

"I'll join!"

A smile couldn't help but spread across Bai Zi Suo's solemn face as he murmured to himself in his heart.

He had already carved out his own path.

Not relying on his father, not depending on anyone else, just by relying on his own efforts, he had found his own way.

...

Above the city gate.

Wang Ye and the others took a look and found that the armored figures on the gate indeed matched what Wang Ye initially thought upon seeing them.

These armors each contained long-decayed bones, suggesting that they had stood guard over the city, waiting for the enemy's assault, until the moment of their death.

Until death.

"Sigh."

Xu Heng sighed and looked at the armors with eyes filled with respect.

The others felt the same.

Although it was impossible to determine whether these people belonged to the good side or the bad side in their era,

the fact that they had stood at their post until death, that spirit alone, was admirable.

Within the armors, there still lingered some presence, some consciousness, but with the opening of the ancient ruins, their remaining spirit, their lingering consciousness, began to fade even faster.

As Wang Ye, Xu Heng, and their company observed these armors, the faint remnants of spirit and consciousness within these armors were also observing them.

Wang Ye frowned slightly.

He felt as though he was being watched, observed by someone.

The last time, in the previous ancient ruins, he had this same feeling, and now here, he felt it again.

Could it be… that these armors still possessed consciousness?

Although the thought seemed incredible even to Wang Ye when it first crossed his mind, he felt that there might indeed be some consciousness within these armors.

Otherwise, why did he always feel observed, surveilled, whenever he entered an ancient ruin?

"Do you still have consciousness?" Wang Ye asked aloud.

As soon as Wang Ye made a sound, Xu Heng and the others looked over to him, their gazes filled with some confusion.

What... What was Wang Ye doing?

Was he asking these armored figures questions?

Had Wang Ye lost his mind?

One must know, the soldiers in these armors, from the era they lived in to the present day, there has likely been a lapse of about 250,000 years, to the point where even the bones inside the armors had decayed.

There certainly could be no consciousness left.

Yet here was Wang Ye, asking if the other party still had consciousness. Wasn't it obvious? The other party no longer possessed any consciousness!

If the other party still had consciousness, with their territory being invaded, they would have surely captured these foreigners and invaders to interrogate them long ago.

How could they possibly allow them to just observe around here.

However, right after Wang Ye asked his question, a voice that seemed to have been condensed by many consciousnesses rang in their ears:

"Yes!"

It was astoundingly loud!

No one knew where it came from, but when this voice emerged, it still gave the sensation of being overwhelmingly resonant.

The consciousness... was actually very weak.

But, perhaps to prevent Wang Ye, Xu Heng, and the others from detecting their weakness, the voices they produced were mixed with a strong and forceful feeling, not exposing their frailty in the slightest.

As the consciousness spoke,

Wang Ye and Xu Heng and the others were slightly taken aback, their gazes cautiously sweeping the surroundings, at that moment, they had only one thought.

Holy crap!

Unexpectedly, these armors actually did have consciousness!

And it seemed that the consciousness within these armors was quite powerful, otherwise, why would they be able to produce such a strong and forceful voice?

What they didn't know was that the voice did not come from a singular powerful consciousness, but from the gathering of many, which was why they could produce such a sound.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to generate such a voice.

Upon learning that these armors still had consciousness, Wang Ye and Xu Heng and the others were no longer as relaxed as at the beginning, instead, they became more vigilant.

One must realize, the figures in these armors had existed several hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Although the spirit of steadfastly defending their city moved them greatly, the crux of the matter was, who knew what these people from hundreds of thousands of years ago were thinking in their hearts.

If, by any chance, they regarded them as invaders and captured them on the spot, wouldn't they be walking right into a trap?

"The era you lived in has now passed by countless years, the city you dwelled in, to us, has become an ancient relic. We have come here only to explore the ruins,"

"We mean no harm."

Xu Heng spoke up, it was uncertain whether these present consciousnesses harbored any murderous intent towards them, but before that, Xu Heng knew that he needed to make their stance clear to these individuals.

It was important to let these consciousnesses know that they had no malicious intentions.

Just the fact that these people had sacrificed so much, and their consciousnesses still existed, was enough to deduce their extraordinary strength!
