Chapter 1274 - 1274: Unsung Heroes

Yes, this is just a soul body, yet it has made Liu Zixuan reveal his trump card, the clone.

If the real body were here, even with other cards, it would still be hard to fend off.

While the clone was lost in thought, Luo Xi suddenly shouted, "Zixuan, look quickly!"

Liu Zixuan and the clone simultaneously glanced down from mid-air, only to see a white light glow spreading across the consciousness of armored generals and soldiers, their forms gradually turning ethereal.

At once, Liu Zixuan swiftly leapt down, urgently asking, "What's happening?"

"Our mission was to watch over the suppressed Demon Emperor Chi Yin. Now that he is dead, our mission is naturally accomplished. Thank you for letting us know the outside world has changed so drastically, and thank you for fulfilling our last wish," the armored general said with a calm smile.

Liu Zixuan hurriedly grabbed his wrist, trying to heal him with the Holy Medical Scripture.

Yet in his haste, he forgot that these soldiers died tens of thousands of years ago; what remained were only residual consciousnesses.

In other words, medical skill was useless to them.

Despite knowing their presence transcended the ordinary and should have long been laid to rest or reincarnated, Liu Zixuan's heart was filled with unwillingness.

He was unwilling to let such loyal and patriotic soldiers die.

He was unwilling to see the eternal iron-willed men disappear from the world.

It seemed the armored general also sensed Liu Zixuan's unwillingness; he stretched out a gradually vanishing palm to pat his shoulder. "Meeting a young man with such a good character during my lifetime is truly reassuring. With you here, and those like you, the Star Race will surely grow stronger."

"Senior, may I know your name?" Liu Zixuan wanted to remember him, genuinely inscribe him in his heart.

The armored general grinned, glanced at the surrounding warriors, and smiled slightly. "Time has passed so long, we might have already forgotten our names. A name is just a label, it comes and goes."

"But..."

Liu Zixuan was just about to speak, but the armored general immediately interrupted: "I know what you're thinking. How does it matter if future generations remember names or not? Throughout history, countless nameless heroes sacrificed their lives for the country and people, with nobody to care about the names. Yet pride remains about the deeds they accomplished."

"Likewise, safeguarding here for millennia, ensuring the treasures of the Star Race weren't stolen, and witnessing the hidden danger being eradicated by you—this is truly enough."

As he spoke, the armored general looked at Liu Zixuan: "This place is called the Nether Realm, suppressing many figures from ancient times. Some are as notorious as Demon Emperor Chi Yin, while some used their cultivation to suppress others. If you have a chance, try exploring inside, but don't venture too far."

"Alright!" Liu Zixuan nodded solemnly.

"We are about to disappear. Can you agree to one request?" As the armored general's voice fell, the soldiers looked at Liu Zixuan, their eyes full of hope.

After looking around, Liu Zixuan nodded: "Speak, I will do whatever I can, and if I can't, I'll find a way!"

"I see you're not yet thirty but already reached the Life and Death Realm. Given more time to develop, you should attain the status of Tai Di two emperors. If that day comes, remember to return here and find a way to kill all suppressed beings."

"In ancient times, they were extremely brutal, almost without humanity. Being suppressed so long, their resentment will be tremendous. If they escape, the whole Blue Star will face a catastrophe, so if that day comes, ensure you erase them completely!"

Liu Zixuan held his fist tight, then raised three fingers of his right hand, declaring firmly: "I swear, as a descendant of Tai Di two emperors, if the day comes when I have enough power, I will return here and wipe out all suppressed demons! If violated, let Heaven's punishment be upon me!"

This vow was heavy, and sincere enough!

When the generals heard this, their expressions showed satisfaction and gratitude.

Because successors were there for them, because someone was completing their final wishes!

Within moments, under this dark night sky, soft white light began fading, and the generals slowly dispersed, like a swarm of fireflies illuminating the entire sky!

Liu Zixuan stood there for a long, long time, deeply contemplating, and paying tribute to these true nameless heroes!

What is the great way? What is true affection?

Perhaps, what these soldiers have done is enough to define these!

Luo Xi gently held Liu Zixuan's arm, stretched out a jade hand to gently wipe the tear from the corner of Liu Zixuan's eye: "Zixuan..."

She suddenly felt sentimental; throughout all this time, Liu Zixuan had never cried, yet now tears flowed.

A man holds back tears until feeling truly sorrowful.

At this moment, perhaps he was grieving, or maybe he was unwilling to see those soldiers leave.

Poof!

Just then, the clone standing to the side suddenly staggered, spitting a mouthful of blood.

Liu Zixuan spun around, hurriedly supporting him to prevent him from falling: "What happened?"

"Look at my back, what's there!" the clone pale-facedly spoke.

Liu Zixuan furrowed his eyebrows, quickly circled to his back, and lifted the clone's clothing, revealing a fist-sized round strange imprint on his back's skin.

"This... what just happened?"

"I don't know. I saw Luo Xi chatting with you and intended to advise you. Unexpectedly, upon stepping forward, my back suddenly hurt as if something struck it."

Liu Zixuan placed his fingers on the clone's pulse, carefully examining.

Yet the result surprised him, as neither the clone's meridians nor any other aspects showed abnormalities.

Moreover, earlier seen injuries healed quickly.

Scratching his head: "How do you feel now?"

The clone hesitated, then moved his body slightly, suspecting: "Damn, was it just an illusion?"

Liu Zixuan again lifted his shirt, and the strange imprint had disappeared.

Scratching his head: "This is somewhat bizarre!"

"Bizarre is as it is; I feel the relic is indeed full of oddities." The clone was carefree, grinning: "Where to next? Go back to the mini world, or accompany you all?"

"Do you think I need a third wheel?" Liu Zixuan pulled Luo Xi into an embrace and joked.

"You rascal!" The clone's figure swayed and returned to the relic mini world...
