Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

"I'm."

Zuo Chang's words were concise and to the point.

"hiss……"

The war demon gasped, unable to resist asking, "So, can you explain this to me? What exactly is going on?"

"I don't know, don't ask me."

Zuo Chang responded irritably, and then recounted what he had seen and thought.

He concluded, "In short, that's it. I don't know if this is the potion witch's scheme or the God's design—I'm more inclined to believe the latter. Judging from the current situation, it seems we're playing the role of 'guides,' leading this army somewhere."

War demons are worldly-wise and experienced!

It can predict most of the things that might happen in this world, and it never miscalculates!

but……

At this moment, it was also bewildered: "Your Majesty, you always manage to surprise me."

Zuo Chang said helplessly, "I think this is more like a shock. What happened?"

"Calm down. Lord Heavenly King, calm down."

The demons of war are very calm.

It turned its head, its dark eyes revealing utmost composure: "Leave it all to me, and I will prove to you the worth of my status as a top-tier demon."

"It would be best if I didn't have to do anything."

Zuo Chang smiled and nodded, showing his full trust.

He had long ago experienced the benefits of the devil of war.

Regardless of the ever-changing and in-depth study of the "Thirty-Six Stratagems" skill system, the demonic power bestowed upon him by the demon of war alone has elevated Zuo Chang's combat capabilities to a whole new level.

As an ancient demon, its power of war extends far beyond this.

Having received Zuo Chang's approval, it immediately looked up and said to its adjutant, "Sir, please follow me. I will take you to the entrance of the ruins now."

The adjutant nodded: "Lead the way!"

The demon of war strides forward, clearing a path for an army of a hundred men.

As it walked, it said, "Your Majesty, every era has its own mark, which can be seen in the food and clothing, especially the standard equipment of the army."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Chang turned to look at the magnificent military formation behind him.

Can't recognize.

It looks very old.

The War Demon continued, “A one-foot-three-inch sword, gold and white military uniforms, and the iconic crown and lion... Without a doubt, we are now in a time a thousand years ago, traveling with the royal guard of the Golden Empire.”

Golden Empire...

Zuo Chang used all his knowledge of the upgraded world history to ask, "The last ancient kingdom where the gods appeared in the world?"

"Yes."

"Once we understand this point, and combine it with our previous experiences, our current situation becomes very clear."

"If nothing unexpected happens..."

Hey.

The war demon chuckled softly, clearly somewhat excited!

Without needing any further words, Zuo Chang realized what was happening.

"The Golden Jar"!

The potion-making witch was neither deceitful nor treacherous.

She faithfully carried out the gods' arrangement, sending Zuo Chang into this time and space.

Zuo Chang and the War Demon are most likely playing the roles of those "adventurers" who discovered the ruins of the gods, leading the Kingdom Army of the Golden Empire to retrieve the Golden Jar!

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

The war demon walked forward while glancing at Zuo Chang.

It laughed and said, "I don't feel any excitement from you. Don't you think we are doing a great thing? The high and mighty gods are waiting for your and my help and salvation! I really never thought that I would be associated with such a great being!"

Zuo Chang waved his hand: "Rather than being excited, I would say... I feel it's only natural."

"Ha! Of course? You're just a human being, yet you're far more arrogant than me!"

"It's not arrogance, it's just..."

But that makes sense.

At this moment, Zuo Chang inexplicably felt relaxed.

For a long time, he didn't know how to face the world, or what level he needed to reach to be considered integrated into it.

Will we once again become the masters of "Community No. 1"?

To achieve the fifteenth realm and become the strongest in this world?

Or, you can fully enjoy the care and love of the Blood Rose and the Flying Bird, and immerse yourself in their gentleness and tolerance.

but now……

It's back, it's all back.

The feeling of playing a game suddenly returned, just like a "thump" as Zuo Chang discovered his main quest!

He no longer needs to think about who he is or where he is; he only needs to follow the guidance and fulfill the mission he has been given.

This is not being "controlled".

This is an anchor point, where Zuo Chang made his home and then extended his influence to the world.

He looked down and asked, "Do you know where the entrance to the ruins is?"

The war demon sniffed loudly: "Don't make a sound, I'm looking for it."

"over there."

Zuo Chang reached out and pointed to a sand dune in the distance.

The war demon looked at the unremarkable sand dunes and asked, "Really? Why?"

"Because... there was golden light. And it was 1355 meters away from us."

"what?"

Clearly, the devil of war doesn't understand.

Zuo Chang continued, "I can see markings that you can't see. This is my privilege, something you can't envy."

Chapter 275 The Curse of Incompetence

A thousand years ago, there were no rules governing the gods. Zuo Chang attempted to mobilize his power and discovered that he was now at the Ninth Realm.

As for the spotted puppy at his feet, it may look weak and frail, but it is actually stronger than most top experts at the fifteenth realm!

In contrast, the well-disciplined troops behind them—

Following the "Blood Mist Anomaly" of the old Golden Empire, they have unlocked "Godly" technology.

As the most elite force in the Golden Empire, their cultivation levels are all above the tenth realm.

The leading general is also at the twelfth realm, which should make him much stronger than Zuo Chang.

Zuo Chang was filled with doubts and couldn't help but ask, "Can these few weaklings really defeat the four great gods of 'Feng Shui, Earth and Fire'?"

"Generally speaking, we can't beat them."

The devil of war answered immediately.

“Those four, like me, are ‘primordial beings,’ great beings born at the beginning of creation. I already have the cultivation of the fifteenth realm in this era, and those four should be about the same.”

"However, don't forget that in legend, the Kingdom's army fought the Four Gods with the 'Golden Jar' inside. Perhaps the gods exerted their power from within the jar, giving them a helping hand!"

It's also possible that the legend is just a legend.

The kingdom's army did not actually fight the Four Gods, or they only fought against the incarnations and messengers of the Four Gods, which is why they were able to win.

Zuo Chang then asked, "Speaking of which—war demon, what would happen if we went to find 'your present self'?"

"Can you find me? I'm sealed away right now, and I don't even know where I'm sealed. If you're so capable, go find me!"

"...You're smug about being sealed away?"

"Ha ha!"

The devil of war actually laughed.

It raised its head and said, "This is a reward for the victors. Humanity has done well. As a reward, they have sealed away the most ferocious and evil demon in history, and this honor can be passed down through generations. As for me, I will lie dormant, waiting to emerge again to see if humanity will still be valiant!"

"..."

Zuo Chang didn't quite understand the mindset of the devil of war, so he remained silent.

After a short while, the location indicated by Zuo Chang was in sight.

Traces of ancient civilization lingered on the weathered sand dunes; ruins and remnants were scattered throughout the landscape. Upon seeing this, the general of the kingdom felt a sudden sense of relief—

Those two adventurers weren't liars; they weren't lying.

If the ruins really exist, with the fighting power of this team, plundering the treasures within will be a piece of cake!

The adventurous instinct in his DNA was activated, and the general asked loudly, "Adventurers, have we arrived?"

Zuo Chang pointed to a half-collapsed palace door and turned to reply, "General, that's the entrance to the ruins!"

The general looked up and narrowed his eyes.

At the entrance to the ruins, a person stood abruptly.

He asked, "Who is that? Is it your companion?"

Zuo Chang had already spotted the person standing at the entrance of the ruins. It was an old man, dressed in a bright red robe, with deep wrinkles on his face, his skin looking like tree bark.
