A Thousand-Year Journey Through the God of War

With the demonic spirits completely eradicated in Jingxiang, the reputation of the Temple of War began to spread, attracting more and more people. Among them, the most eye-catching were one man and two women. The man was Xu Shu, whom Liu Bei had unexpectedly encountered in Xinye City, now known as Shan Fu. Upon arrival, he immediately broke Cao Ren's Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation. The other two women were quite different. One was dark-skinned and petite, wielding a strange weapon that resembled both a whip and a hammer, yet was neither. On her first day, she amazed everyone on the training ground. Apart from those with superhuman strength like Wudi, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Xiao Xing, no one could withstand a single blow from her. The other was petite and exquisite, wielding two swords called "Flying Swallow." She was skilled in both literature and martial arts, proficient in the art of divination and escape. She saw through Cao Ren's Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation at a glance, but chose not to reveal herself. Instead, she assisted Xu Shu and Zhao Yun in breaking Cao Ren's formation, causing Cao's army to tremble with fear at the mention of Liu Bei and the Temple of War's defenses in Xinye City.

Cao Ren's crushing defeat will soon lead to Cao Cao's personal campaign, posing the greatest challenge to Liu Bei's army in history. However, compared to these challenges, the beginning of the war between gods and demons is the most serious problem facing everyone in the future. This new world will span the entire Three Kingdoms period. After everything settles down, it is unknown whether future generations will remember the details that happened in this era. Perhaps everything will gradually be submerged in the long river of history and turn into dust...

A few days later, a young man carrying a magical weapon entered Xinye City. Anyone who recognized it would be astonished—it was none other than the ancient divine weapon, the Dragon-Tiger Sword! It was said to have once existed in Tianzhu Mountain, suggesting this young man was someone of great importance, likely a highly skilled cultivator from Tianzhu Mountain. At the same time, three more people arrived in Xinye. The first was a burly man with a dark complexion and a resolute expression. Following closely behind was a beautiful young woman, petite in stature, with a pretty face and clear, bright eyes like a pool of autumn water. The last man was tall, with thick eyebrows, large eyes, and a full beard, carrying a pair of Heaven-Shaking Discs weighing a hundred pounds each—another person of superhuman strength. The three were stunned by the sight before them as soon as they entered Xinye City. They hadn't expected that in such chaotic times, there truly was a place where people could live in peace and prosperity…

In a mansion within Xinye City, all members of the War God Temple gathered for a significant meeting. Since the extermination of the demonic undead in Jingxiang, many heroes had begun converging on Xinye, with the War God Temple, led by the God of War, being the most prominent. During this period, all those willing to join the War God Temple had gathered at this mansion. The God of War was particularly meticulous in selecting talent, undergoing continuous screening and testing before finally selecting twenty-four members, including the president. The War God Temple consisted of President God of War, Vice President Xiang'er, the four War Gods: Invincible, Peerless, Shangguan Yunlong, and Xiaoxing; six female generals: Murong Xue, Feng Xuexin, Ye'er, Na'er, Heimei, and Xiaolian; and twelve star generals: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, Yue Luo, Yue Sha, Po Jun, Tan Lang, Qi Sha, Cang Lang, Tian Nu, and Zhao Ying. In addition, there are the three remaining assassins who attacked the undead territory of the demon race together. They are still under observation because they have some duties to hand over in the army, which gives them time to transition.

The God of War and Xiang'er sat in the positions of President and Vice President, respectively. The Four Great War Gods and Six Female Generals sat on the left, and the Twelve Star Generals sat on the right. Everyone was orderly and in a harmonious atmosphere. The God of War looked at everyone and slowly spoke in a loud and slightly authoritative voice: "Cang Lang has returned from the north with important news. At the place where we fought the demons and undead, a mage and a phantom demon have jointly set up an illusion array. The true location of these two demons is outside Wancheng, which is ruled by Cao Cao." As he spoke, he looked at Cang Lang, gesturing for him to continue.

Canglang stood up and continued, "That day, Tiannu, Xiaolian, and I passed by a cave and happened to see a burly man carrying two iron halberds standing at the entrance. Upon closer inspection, we realized it was Dian Wei, who had long since died in Wancheng. Out of curiosity, I had Tiannu lure Dian Wei away while Xiaolian and I sneaked into the cave. We saw a man in black robes standing in front of two huge black stone coffins, chanting incantations. Beside him sat a man in a five-colored robe, making incomprehensible hand gestures. Just as Xiaolian and I were puzzled, the man in black robes suddenly collapsed to the ground, then transformed into Zhang Jiao, standing up with disheveled hair. The man in the five-colored robe vanished as if he had never been there. Then, two more people suddenly appeared beside Zhang Jiao, simultaneously..." Four people were kneeling in a row on the ground. Xiaolian and I took a closer look and almost cried out. The two people next to Zhang Jiao were Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, and the kneeling people on the ground were Hua Xiong, Guan Hai, Zhang Xiu, and Gao Lan. Including Zhang Jiao, these people were all dead. I never expected that they would all appear in the same cave at the same time. "After a pause, Canglang continued, "What's even more terrifying is that Dian Wei rushed in from outside the cave and threw Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang into the two stone coffins respectively. Then Yan Liang and Wen Chou broke out of the coffins! Zhang Jiao also turned back into a person wearing a black robe and a terrifying mask. He called himself a necromancer." Dou Shen recalled the scene of the battle. It turned out that the fake Zhang Jiao's purpose was to resurrect Yan Liang and Wen Chou in the stone coffins. No, it should be said that he turned Yan Liang and Wen Chou into ghosts, thereby maximizing their combat power.

Everyone turned to the God of War, awaiting the leader's words. The God of War pondered for a moment before speaking, "Now that Yuan Shao has been utterly defeated by Cao Cao, the north is unified. Therefore, Cao Cao will inevitably march south. Although Liu Bei has already defeated Cao Ren, if Cao Cao brings a large army, Xinye City will face its greatest crisis ever. While our God of War Temple takes it upon ourselves to slay demons and monsters, we must also lend a helping hand to someone as benevolent and compassionate as Liu Bei." Everyone nodded in agreement, willing to follow the leader's orders.

Therefore, the God of War made the following arrangements: Azure Dragon led White Tiger, Black Tortoise, Broken Army, Greedy Wolf, and Seven Kills to Fancheng to help Zhao Yun defend against the attack from Cao Cao's army. Since Cao Ren's defeat and escape, Fancheng has temporarily fallen into Liu Bei's hands. Peerless led Ye'er, Na'er, Vermilion Bird, Yue Luo, and Yue Sha to be in charge of intelligence work for the entire God of War Temple. In this way, no matter what strategy Cao Cao adopted, the intelligence group would relay the information back immediately. Xiang'er led Invincible, Xiao Xue, Shangguan Yunlong, Xiao Xing, and Blackie to be in charge of defense and logistics in Xinye City. In this way, the entire Xinye City would be immune to any invasion of demons and monsters. Furthermore, with Xiang'er and Xiao Xue present, all the difficult and complicated illnesses caused by injuries would be no problem.

Dou Shen led Feng Xuexin, Xiao Lian, Cang Lang, Tian Nu, and Zhao Ying, the former president of the War God Temple, to Wancheng. Liu Feng was currently leading his army to attack Wancheng, and a demon necromancer was in a cave near the city. Dou Shen planned to ask Zhao Ying to deal with the necromancer. With everything prepared, the group split up to carry out their tasks.
