When Gu Xing and Sally stepped out of the phantom of the river of time.

Before they had time to see their surroundings clearly, two auras instantly appeared before him.

Long Qingyan and Feng Ni!

Gu Xing's soul body trembled slightly, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

A thousand years ago, he had just parted from the two of them, and now he suddenly saw them again.

His heart was filled with an unreal feeling!

As for Long Qingyan and Feng Ni, looking at the familiar figure of the soul body before them, thousands of emotions surged within their hearts.

Indeed, Gu Xing had gone to the past!

Long Qingyan's golden eyes trembled slightly, gazing at Gu Xing's familiar face.

The emotions in her heart were incredibly complex.

She opened her mouth, thousands of words stuck in her throat, eventually turning into a slightly trembling utterance:

"It's been a long time!"

Feng Ni's status was similar to Long Qingyan's.

She looked at the human who stood up for her in her most perilous moment.

Similarly at a loss for words.

But the dignity of an Emperor Beast made her speak lightly:

"I honored the agreement we made!"

Hearing their words, Gu Xing was somewhat at a loss.

But he knew, something must have happened during this time.

And now what he worried about the most...

"Are Liu Li and Vera alright?"

Long Qingyan and Feng Ni exchanged a look.

This was not the place for reminiscing.

They both felt Gu Xing's return, so that Demon God must have also sensed Gu Xing's return.

"You'll know when you go back!"

After saying this, Long Qingyan swept Gu Xing away, returning to the Human Race territory.

...

With Long Qingyan and Feng Ni's pseudo-god level strength, they quickly returned from Dragon Island to the Northern Territory.

However, as soon as they arrived back.

The scene that unfolded left Gu Xing deeply shaken.

From within and outside the massive city below, it was packed with people!

From the city walls to the streets, from the square to the rooftops.

Countless Humans stood solemnly and continuously, stretching as far as the eye could see!

When his figure appeared in the sky—

"Boom——!!!"

A tsunami-like wave of sound erupted suddenly, soaring into the clouds and shaking the entire world!

"Welcome home, Master Gu Xing!!!"

"Welcome back, Guardian!!!"

Millions of Humans, regardless of age or gender, regardless of warriors or civilians...

All facing his direction at this moment, bowing deeply!

Their faces were filled with heartfelt reverence!

The wave of sound gathered into a unified will, like the most devout worship, filled with an indescribable feeling of power!

Long Zhenguo, dressed in military attire, stood at the forefront of the crowd.

He straightened his spine, using all his strength to roar:

"Gu Xing! Human Race Commander Long Zhenguo, leading all the military and civilians of the Northern Territory! Welcome you home!!!"

Wei Yuan, Lei Zhan, Verocan, Cecilia, and all the other strong ones also bowed in respect, their gazes burning!

This grand momentum, this sincere affection...

This scene reminiscent of welcoming a Monarch or Savior.

Made Gu Xing, who had weathered countless storms, have his soul tremble!

He had asked himself countless times when wandering on the edge of life and death, why he fought so hard to protect the Human Race.

Was it worth it?

But at this moment, looking at the clumps of bowed figures below.

Listening to the deafening cries from the heart, feeling the tangible belief and hope gathered...

He had an incomparably clear answer in his heart.

It was worth it!

Everything was worth it!

This recognition is the meaning of his efforts!

He slowly descended, hovering above everyone.

The soul body emitted a gentle aura, his voice clearly reaching the entire city:

"Thank you! Thank you, everyone! I... am back!"

Such simple words, yet they brought tears of joy to countless people below, and cheers erupted once more!

In the midst of the cheers, two figures couldn't suppress their inner excitement any longer, transforming into streaks of light and dashing towards Gu Xing!

"Master!"

Liu Li was the first to rush up, recklessly throwing herself into Gu Xing's embrace formed by his soul body.

Though it was merely an illusory sensation, she held on tightly, as if afraid he would disappear again.

She lifted her little face, eyes brimming with tears, her voice tinged with a sob:

"Master, you finally came back..."

"Liu Li was so scared... so scared you really..."

Her words choked, she simply buried her face deep, her shoulders trembling slightly.

To her, Gu Xing was not just a master, but the meaning of her existence.

If it weren't for Feng Ni telling her that Gu Xing was safe, she might have already chosen to leave this world.

On the other side, Vera also pounced by Gu Xing's side.

She tightly gripped Gu Xing's arm, eyes filled with the joy of reunion.

"Master... you really came back!"

Gu Xing extended his illusory arm, gently embracing Liu Li, patting the hand that Vera clutched tightly:

"It's alright now, I'm back! I'm sorry to have worried you."

Not far away, Tushan Yueli stood quietly.

She didn't rush in like Liu Li and Vera.

She just gazed deeply and unwaveringly at Gu Xing.

Seeing him surrounded tightly by Liu Li and Vera, seeing him return safely, a smile bloomed on her exquisite face.

"Mother... thank you for your protection..."

"Lord Gu Xing, finally returned safely!"

Feeling Liu Li's sobbing in his arms, Vera's hand holding tight, and the gentle gaze from afar of Tushan Yueli.

A long-lost warmth enveloped Gu Xing's heart.

The feeling of home was no more than this.

It's just...

This home is still missing a few members!

Qing Shuang, Fei Yue...

They're not here!

After the thrill of reunion calmed slightly, Gu Xing's gaze swept over everyone present.

Finally falling on Long Qingyan and Feng Ni.

His gaze became firm.

"Qingyan, Senior Feng Ni."

Gu Xing's voice regained its usual steadiness.

"Two seniors, Gu Xing now asks you to continue overseeing the Human Race!"

Hearing Gu Xing's words, Long Zhenguo became nervous too.

The Human Race currently had no pseudo-god level strength.

If the Demon God attacked without Long Qingyan and Feng Ni, the Human Race would have no resistance.

Therefore, whether Qingyan and Feng Ni choose to continue overseeing the Human Race is crucial.

And he knew they were willing to help the Human Race all for Gu Xing's sake.

He had never presumptuously persuaded them to stay with the Human Race.

And now, Gu Xing actually brought it up.

He swallowed nervously, awaiting their response.

Gu Xing's gaze calmly looked toward Long Qingyan and Feng Ni, soul body slightly leaning forward, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

Long Qingyan's eyes flickered slightly, she met Gu Xing's gaze for a moment.

Then glanced at the breathless Long Zhenguo, and the soldiers of the Human Race filled with expectation and anxiety.

She took a deep breath:

"The Dragon Race is willing to advance and retreat with the Human Race!"

With the Dragon Emperor dead, her words represented the Dragon Race's will.

And on Feng Ni's beautiful face, her expression was indifferent, the gold-red phoenix eyes scanning Gu Xing, and glancing at the nervous Long Zhenguo.

"You have saved my life, I will always help you guard the Human Race!"

As their words fell, Gu Xing's nerves relaxed.

With their guardianship, he dared to go and find Qing Shuang and Fei Yue with peace of mind.

"Thank you, two seniors!"
