In a simulated life scenario, how do you defy fate and change your destiny every time?

Chapter 386 The Church of Dawn, a Million Imperial Guards!
"Our illnesses have actually been cured?"

Inside a sewer somewhere.

When the light dims and everything returns to calm.

Everyone stared at their own bodies, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Great! We'll never have to suffer through the darkness again!"

"The Lord of Dawn has appeared! He must be the messenger sent by the Lord of Dawn to save us!"

"Lord of the Dawn, your followers offer you their most devout prayers!"

Those with severe mutations became emotional, clasped their hands together, and knelt directly on the ground.

He lowered his head and muttered something under his breath.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan was not surprised.

According to the information he collected.

Ever since that strange seventh-tier creature revived.

The martial arts world order has collapsed, and the end of the world has arrived.

When Tao Yaoyao was around, she could barely maintain order on Blue Star by relying on her own powerful combat strength.

But as she and that seventh-tier monster disappeared together, the entire Blue Star fell into chaos and disorder.

All desires have lost their shackles, and only the law of the jungle has become the sole truth.

Other human powerhouses also harbored their own ulterior motives, and in the end, the once-great Martial Arts Academy was torn apart and became history.

In the dark apocalypse, faith became the last resort and spiritual pillar for the vast majority of ordinary people.

under these circumstances.

The Church of Dawn arose in response to the situation and rose rapidly.

In just a century, it replaced the Wuji Dojo and became the number one force in the martial arts world.

Today, the followers and influence of the Church of Dawn are ubiquitous, spread across thirty-two human survival bases, and all branches of the Martial Arts Dojo have been uprooted.

Only Wuji City, the last base, is still holding out against the fierce offensive of the Church of Dawn.

Wu Hai was overjoyed to be brought back to life.

Because all the diseases and dark energy in his body were expelled, he suddenly became decades younger.

Although he still had a full head of white hair, his appearance was completely renewed, and his voice was loud and powerful. Compared to before, he was like a different person.

Not only that.

The little boy named Wu Hong also underwent a tremendous change after being illuminated by the divine light.

His bulging eyes and head, which were noticeably larger than normal, returned to normal.

"Hong'er's illness is cured too?"

"This unworthy disciple thanks the Martial Ancestor for saving my life."

Overjoyed, Wu Hai patted his grandson's head with his calloused hands, then knelt down and kowtowed three times to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan did not avoid it and accepted the bow without hesitation.

"Get up, I have some questions for you."

Lu Yuan said calmly.

Wu Hai is a descendant of the Wu family of Cangzhou, and also a descendant of a deceased friend.

The fact that he was able to meet me this time means that his life was not meant to end.

"What does Your Majesty the Martial Ancestor wish to know? This disciple will answer without reservation."

Wu Hai said respectfully.

"Let's leave first; this isn't the place to talk."

Lu Yuan's mind stirred slightly.

He transformed into a streak of rainbow light, carrying Wu Hai and his grandson, and vanished instantly from the sewer.

After just a few breaths.

When Wu Hai came to his senses, he found himself in the ruins outside the base city.

Night had fallen, and dark energy surged.

Even martial arts experts with strong Qi and Blood didn't dare to linger outside the city.

However, golden divine light flowed around Lu Yuan, creating a light curtain that enveloped Wu Hai and his grandson.

No matter how rampant the dark energy from the outside world is, it can never harm them in the slightest.

"Grandfather was right back then. The Martial Ancestor truly possesses extraordinary abilities and is the last hope of our human race!"

Wu Hai was inwardly thrilled.

"Do you know the whereabouts of Tao Yaoyao, the owner of the Wuji Martial Arts Academy, and that strange seventh-tier beast?"

Lu Yuan asked casually, not having much hope for Wu Hai.

After all, according to the classification of Qi and Blood Martial Arts, Wu Hai's strength is low, and he can't even be considered a first-grade martial artist.

Given his power and status, it would be difficult for him to access such core secrets.

Upon hearing this question, Wu Hai's expression hardened, and he immediately clasped his hands in a salute.

"Reporting to the Pavilion Master, five hundred years have passed since the battle between Pavilion Master Yaoyao and the seventh-order monster."

“During this period, the Church of Dawn strictly forbade anyone to mention or record this matter, and the disciples knew very little about it.”

"However, Wuji City is the headquarters of our dojo, so there must be someone inside who knows the inside story."

Wu Hai answered truthfully.

"Martial Peak City?"

Lu Yuan turned his head to look in the south, deciding to go and see for himself.

“Lord Martial Ancestor, the Dawn Church has been suppressing and annexing the Martial Arts Academy for years.”

"Not long ago, they even mobilized over a million Imperial Guards, intending to completely seize Wuji City. If we rashly head there now..."

Wu Hai glanced at Lu Yuan, then hesitated before speaking.

Although Lu Yuan, as the founder of Qi and Blood Martial Arts, has always been the spiritual belief of the disciples of the dojo.

But he has been missing for ten thousand years, and no one knows how strong he is now.

In contrast, the Church of Dawn is at its zenith, with dozens of archbishops comparable to top-tier experts presiding over it.

There are even rumors claiming that...

The Pope of the Church of Dawn is the second peerless expert to reach the tenth-grade True King realm after Tao Yaoyao!
This also means.

In the case of Tao Yaoyao and that seventh-tier creature mysteriously disappearing.

The Pope of Dawn is the strongest being in this world.

none of them!

"No, it is said that even a tenth-grade True King only has a lifespan of several thousand years, but Lord Martial Ancestor has lived for tens of thousands of years and is still so young."

"Doesn't this mean that Lord Martial Ancestor's strength is even greater than that of Pope Dawn?"

Wu Hai had been immersed in the joy of being resurrected until now, when he calmed down a bit.

He was horrified to realize it.

Just how terrifying is the strength of this godlike young man before us!
"Let's go."

Lu Yuan didn't say much, and then he and Wu Hai and his grandson disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Anyway.

The Wuji Martial Arts Academy is the lineage he left behind, and it was Tao Yaoyao and countless martial arts predecessors who devoted their heart and soul to carrying it forward.

If we simply allow it to be swallowed up by the Church of Dawn, we would be truly ashamed before the spirits of all our ancestors in heaven.

With Lu Yuan's current strength, he can easily break through the world barrier, and even traversing countless worlds is no problem.

The martial arts world has expanded in area by hundreds of times compared to before.

But for Lu Yuan...

Even traversing the entire martial arts world is just a matter of a single thought.

The next moment, before Wu Hai could even react, he found himself transported to Wuji City, hundreds of millions of miles away, in the blink of an eye!

Compared to the Jiangnan base city.

As the headquarters of the Wuji Dojo, Wuji City is not only more than ten times larger in area, but also has a population of nearly 100 million.

Among them are millions of people, all of whom are Qi and Blood Martial Artists!
However, what is most eye-catching is...

At the entrance to the city gate, a magnificent statue also stands.

The statue was hundreds of feet tall and incredibly lifelike.

Just by standing there, it exudes a terrifying aura of authority without being angry.

Every disciple of the Wuji Dojo would show a hint of awe when they saw this statue.

Because the owner of this statue was the founder of Qi Xue Wu Dao and Wu Ji Dao Guan.

Martial Ancestor!

It was precisely because of the emergence of the Martial Ancestor that the Qi and Blood Martial Arts were able to rise rapidly, protecting countless people and allowing them to survive in the apocalypse.

Although the Martial Ancestor has been gone for tens of thousands of years, his transcendent status in the hearts of the disciples of the martial arts school remains unshakable.

Because of this.

Only then will Wuji City be regarded by all martial artists as the supreme holy land of martial arts.

However, with the arrival of the army, the entire city was doomed.

It was outside Wuji City.

Millions of Imperial Guards and a host of powerful members of the Church of Dawn surrounded the entire city.

Those guards were well-trained and well-equipped.

Everyone was dressed in silver-white powered armor and carried heavy weapons such as death ray rifles and plasma hand cannons.

Besides.

Each person's body radiates a powerful surge of qi and blood.

Their attacks were fierce and their movements swift as thunder.

This is the essence of the Dawn Church and the foundation upon which it is founded.

When millions of Imperial Guards are mobilized at the same time, they are enough to crush and destroy all enemies!
The dozens of Dawn Church experts, clad in black armor, stood like bright moons in the sky.

They stood there, without uttering a single word.

It could make everyone in Wuji City feel a suffocatingly powerful sense of oppression.

"The Pope has decreed that Wuji City is bewitching people and spreading heretical ideas, which is a crime deserving of death."

"But His Holiness the Pope is kind-hearted and has decided to give you one last chance. If you abandon the city and surrender, and devoutly worship the Lord of the Dawn, perhaps you can cleanse your sins."

"Otherwise, you heretics will all face the judgment of the Lord of Dawn!"

An Archbishop of Dawn looked down at everyone in the city and announced in a cold voice.

"The Church of Dawn is going too far. You have already occupied thirty-two bases, why are you still pressing us so hard? Do you really want to wipe us out completely?"

"Martial arts are unyielding, we swear to die rather than surrender, we'd rather fight them to the death!"

“That’s right. The Dawn taught them to speak nicely, but if we really submit to the Lord of the Dawn, we will surely suffer a fate worse than death, and we will have to live a life worse than death every day.”

"It's better to die a glorious death on the battlefield than to live like a walking corpse!"

Many martial artists with qi and blood in their bodies roared angrily.

In fact.

If they wanted to surrender, they could have sought refuge with the Church of Dawn long ago.

But the reason they gathered here was that they did not want to be deprived of all freedom and thought, and become puppets to be manipulated by others.

Now that things have come to this, the only option is to fight to the death!
"You're asking for it. Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish."

The Dawn Bishop gave the order, preparing to immediately begin the great battle.

"Buzz!"

The death ray hand cannons in the hands of millions of Imperial Guards charged simultaneously, emitting a terrifying wave that sent chills down one's spine.

Not only that.

The heavy weapons and laser cannons in the army were all loaded with ammunition, ready to raze Wuji City to the ground.

But right now.

Without any warning, three figures suddenly appeared in the sky above the battlefield.

"Are you from the Church of Dawn?"

The young man in black robes at the head glanced at all the Archbishops of Dawn, then stood in front of the million-strong army and spoke calmly.

His long hair fluttered in the wind, his eyes were deep, and his tone was unhurried, exuding an unimaginable calmness and composure.

It was as if he were facing not a million well-equipped Dawn Guards, but a swarm of ants.

"No, perhaps we are not even ants, just a pile of dust that poses no threat to them!"

Archbishop Dawn looked at the young man in black robes, and for some reason, this thought came to mind.

Not only him, but the other top-tier ninth-rank experts also felt the same way.

The young man showed no signs of aura and appeared to be just an ordinary person.

But they were horrified, feeling a chill and fear that came from the depths of their souls.

It was as if the person standing in front of them was not an ordinary young man, but an ancient god-king who looked down upon the eternal cycle of reincarnation.

Even when they had an audience with Pope Dawn, they had never felt such a terrifying aura!

"This gentleman looks unfamiliar. May I ask where you come from?"

One of the Archbishops of Dawn asked cautiously, fearing that he might displease Lu Yuan.

But when he quietly looked up and secretly glanced at Lu Yuan out of the corner of his eye, he froze as if petrified.

Suddenly, his mouth gaped open, and he stood frozen in place with a look of terror in his eyes, unable to utter a word for a long time.

He was shocked to discover that the young man in front of him looked exactly like the statue in Wuji City!
"This...how is this possible?"

Archbishop Dawn, as if seeing a ghost, gasped in horror, his face filled with disbelief.

But the next moment.

Without a second thought, almost instinctively, he turned around abruptly and fled into the distance with all his might.

escape!
Escape immediately!
Run as far as you can!
Are you kidding me? This is the Martial Ancestor who created the Qi and Blood Martial Arts Cultivation System.

Although the Church of Dawn strictly forbids anyone from mentioning the Wuji Dojo.

However, as a high-ranking member of the church, he naturally knew a great deal about the deeds of the Martial Ancestor.

Ten thousand years ago, before the spiritual energy had been revived.

The Martial Ancestor was able to withstand a nuclear explosion and single-handedly slaughtered hundreds of thousands of genetic warriors, leaving none alive. This established the transcendent status of Qi and Blood Martial Arts on Earth.

If he were truly alive today, just how terrifying would his power be?

Just thinking about this made all the Archbishops of Dawn shudder. They dared not stay here for even a moment and turned into streaks of light to escape in other directions.

All the martial artists with Qi and Blood, as well as the millions of Dawn Guards, were filled with confusion upon witnessing this scene.

They couldn't understand why these archbishops, whose strength was comparable to that of a ninth-grade peak expert, were all acting as if they had seen a ghost.

Just like that, inexplicably, they fled without a fight.

"What happened? Why did the archbishop abandon us?"

"Wait! Have you noticed? He looks a lot like that statue!"

Many members of the Dawn Guard noticed this and were immediately thrown into an uproar.

Although they were merely cannon fodder at the bottom, they were unable to access more information due to the blockade imposed by the Church of Dawn.

But now, anyone who isn't a fool can see that something is wrong.

Moreover, this statue has stood for tens of thousands of years, which means that the young man in front of us has also lived for tens of thousands of years.

Even the Pope of Dawn did not have such a long lifespan, did he?

Until this time.

Only then did all the Dawn Guards finally understand why those archbishops were so terrified of Lu Yuan!
