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.
