A Thousand-Year Journey Through the God of War

Those who called him "Brother Ying" were Dou Shen, Wu Shuang, and Feng Xuexin; those who called him "President" were Ye'er; and the last one, "Handsome Brother Ying," was called by Na'er. Her adorable, cheesy address gave even Zhao Ying goosebumps. Ma Chao's side, looking at the domineering man who had saved the day, were filled with shock. To stop the entire battle single-handedly—just how terrifying was the power of the War God Temple President!

On the other hand, the demon race members exchanged bewildered glances. Zhao Ying's power was terrifying beyond their ability to withstand. Even if they were all at full strength now, let alone now that they were all incapacitated, they probably wouldn't be a match for him. Could this person really have just emerged from the Dream Array? Not only in the human world, but even throughout the entire demon realm, there were probably few who could rival him. Of course, Zhao Ying was merely bluffing. The battle that had lasted for more than half a year had already exhausted him, and now he was severely injured.

The mysterious woman on the ground glanced at the man lying on the ground, wielding a double-edged sword, and thought to herself: No matter what, I can't let anything happen to my young master, otherwise, even if I escape back, I won't be able to explain to my master. With that thought, she slowly rose, no longer displaying her previous calm and collected demeanor. Instead, she gritted her teeth and said, "You forced me to this! Since that's the case, then let's destroy it!" With that, she took a red medicine bottle from her bosom and instantly pulled out the stopper.

Zhao Ying sensed something was wrong. Suppressing her discomfort, she instantly appeared beside the mysterious woman, trying to stop her, but it was too late. At that moment, an extremely powerful aura instantly filled the entire battlefield. Everyone had a bad premonition. A few seconds later, their eyelids grew heavier and heavier, their bodies became increasingly sluggish, their heads went blank, and a suffocating discomfort gradually intensified. A feeling of despair instantly surged into their hearts, and then they slowly lost consciousness.

After an unknown amount of time, the God of War awoke. Upon opening his eyes, he saw Ying sitting before him, though his face was pale and he seemed weak. Seeing the God of War awaken, Zhao Ying said earnestly, "God of War, you must remember what I'm about to say. My life is nearing its end; I don't know how much longer I have. From now on, you must continue to fulfill your duties as the leader of the War God Temple, leading the temple to complete our lifelong mission of slaying demons and monsters. My temple's weapon has been implanted in your body, but your weakness prevents you from activating it for now. However, if you are in danger, it will appear to save you. It is highly intelligent and has been with me for many years. To be honest, I'm reluctant to leave you all, but I have to go. I must spend my final moments searching for Zi Yan. I can't bear to leave her. To be honest, I truly feel sorry for her. I should have gone with her when she returned to Jiangdong." "Ying, I have two letters from Zi Yan to you," the God of War suddenly remembered, hurriedly reaching into his robes to retrieve one. He had been holding onto the previous letter, having completely forgotten to give it to Ying. "I know, I've already seen it." Zhao Ying placed her hand on his shoulder and said, "Work hard, your achievements will be immeasurable. You still have my cultivation techniques and merits in your possession. Remember, nothing can be forced; everything in the world should be natural and fall into place. Besides, you have awakened the only Heavenly Martial God of War soul in this world. In the future, you will definitely surpass everyone and become the one who can truly look down upon all living beings." "But Brother Ying, I'm worried that I'm not capable enough to command respect right now." The God of War said anxiously, "Besides, half of the people in our War God Hall are stronger than me. It wouldn't be good if things went wrong." "Don't worry, I just spoke to Wushuang." Zhao Ying stood up and said, "Besides, I've already implanted the mark representing the guild leader's identity into your body. They and the Hall-Suppressing Blade don't reject you, which proves that you are the best candidate for guild leader. Moreover, I trust my own judgment. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Wushuang will help you through this period." After saying that, Zhao Ying turned and left without lingering.

"Brother Ying! Brother Ying! Brother Ying..." Dou Shen cried out, suddenly sitting up. He found himself lying in a spacious carriage, surrounded by several girls looking at him with puzzled expressions. They were Feng Xuexin, Ye'er, Na'er, and another girl he didn't recognize—oh, no, she was Ma Chao's sister. Seeing Dou Shen staring at her face, she chuckled and said, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face? But speaking of which, you really can sleep! It's been a whole day and night, and you're only just waking up!" Dou Shen's head was still foggy, and he looked at Feng Xuexin with some confusion. "Yes, what Sister Yunlu said is true. You slept in the carriage for a whole day and night." "Yes, Brother Dou Shen, you can sleep so much!" Na'er's cute doll-like face was full of smiles, and even the usually cold Ye'er nodded in agreement. "And Brother Ying?" Dou Shen asked hurriedly. "I don't know, he was gone when we woke up. We don't know where Brother Ying went." "None of us saw Brother Ying, but Wushuang said that Brother Ying has temporarily left, and you are to fulfill your responsibilities as the leader and continue to lead the War God Temple to slay demons. We will all support you." Feng Xuexin thought for a moment and then said, "Everyone was injured this time. Wushuang said that he has sent people to Xinye and Fancheng to invite Xiang'er and Xiaoxue to Wancheng." "So, we are on our way to Wancheng?" The God of War's mind gradually began to clear, and his thoughts began to become clearer. "Yes, Brother God of War, the pretty Sister Yunlu and the handsome Brother Ma Chao are going together too!" "Pfft... I say, Na'er, how can you be so cute?" Ma Yunlu smiled and pinched Na'er's cheek. "Of course, I'm the cutest, hehe..." Na'er's innocent laughter made everyone feel great.

Outside the carriage, Wushuang and Ma Chao, mounted on horseback, listened to the laughter of the women inside, their moods lifting. This battle had made Wushuang truly understand the meaning of Ying Ge's words, "There are always people stronger than you, and heavens beyond heavens." It seemed the road ahead was long and arduous. He hoped Ying Ge could overcome this ordeal and return to the Temple of War Gods soon; otherwise, the path of slaying demons and monsters would be exceptionally difficult. Ma Chao had also gained much from this experience. Previously, far away in Xiliang, he had always believed himself invincible. Now he discovered that the Central Plains were teeming with demons, all possessing terrifying strength, and that a powerful organization like the Temple of War Gods existed. This joint battle would greatly benefit his future martial arts development. Behind the carriage, Ma Dai and Pang De also had much to reflect on. Ma Dai thought that his uncle and cousin had dominated Xiliang for many years and would one day surely march into the Central Plains. However, besides the traitor Cao Cao, there was also the formidable obstacle of Liu Bei. He knew he had to tell his uncle this as soon as he returned.
