Postscript 100 Years Later
Blue Star World.
Shuizezhou, New Baijiang City.
This is a new city built after the "War of Salvation", which was rebuilt with the ruins of the old Baijiang Castle as its center.
Although it is called a new city, in fact, this city has a history of hundreds of years.
Old Baijiang is the hometown of several great figures, so the New Baijiang City is extremely large and not much less magnificent than the neighboring Shuize Main City. These two huge cities are also known as the most dazzling twin stars on the continent.
In Baijiang City, there are thousand-meter-high buildings, skytrains running through the sky, quaint pavilions, islands hanging high in the sky, and waterfalls falling down like the Milky Way.
Compared with the Baijiang Castle in the old era, the new Baijiang can be said to be different in every way, with only a few old Baijiang ruins being replicated when the city was built.
But in today's rapidly changing world, some things are very similar to those a hundred years ago.
That is the heritage of mankind.
The inheritance called college entrance examination.
New Baijiang City, Baijiang No. 1 Middle School.
"Students, there are only one hundred days left until the college entrance examination. During this period, the teacher will have more stringent requirements on you. This is the final sprint moment. Whether you are preparing to apply for a martial arts university or a regular university, you must seize the time and make the last effort. Only in this way can you have a brighter and brighter future."
On the podium, the head teacher, who was not bald, had a serious expression on his face and exuded a strong aura.
Although he is only the head teacher of a key high school, he has also reached the sixth level of awakening.
In the classroom, dozens of students who seemed extremely well-behaved under the aura of their teacher were all awakened ones.
In the new era, everyone on Blue Star is like a dragon, and everyone can awaken.
"Teacher knows that most of the students are preparing to enter a martial arts university. It is good to have such a belief, but the cultural courses of a martial arts university cannot be neglected."
"Wang Dong, tell me the origin of the cultivation method."
"yes!"
A sturdy classmate immediately stood up and said without thinking, "The training method was originally created by Instructor Fang. It is a training method that combines multiple martial arts such as boxing, swordsmanship, and footwork. It has the effect of strengthening the body and refreshing the mind. This is only the first generation of basic training methods."
"Later, after improvements and perfection by Master Fang and several other great figures, the second, third, and fourth generation cultivation methods were born in just a few years."
"However, since entering the new era, the gray fog has become increasingly sparse, and the martial arts department has gradually perfected new training methods based on the needs of the new era. Today, we are already practicing the thirteenth generation of methods."
" The thirteenth generation cultivation method includes..."
"That's right." The head teacher nodded. "The new era is hard-won. Students should cherish it and not waste the peaceful era created for us by our ancestors."
History, characters, cultivation methods, and eras are the compulsory contents of the college entrance examination written test.
The cultivation method deduced to the thirteenth generation is also very different from that of the first few generations.
The most fundamental difference lies in the system.
In the mysterious system, the awakener needs to absorb mysterious factors and sublimate himself through awakening again and again until he transforms himself into a mythical life.
The characteristic of this system is speed. As long as you can eliminate the impurities in your body, you can make rapid progress.
But there are also flaws. Any awakening in this mysterious system will face life and death disasters.
The cultivation method was born in this environment. Awakeners who practiced the cultivation method could be more calm when awakening and could save their lives even if they failed.
However, after the new era, the gray fog area is almost gone in the blue planet, and the mysterious factor is also very thin.
After a hundred years of development and evolution, the practice methods have also been innovated, transforming from "half-mystical and half-martial arts" to "full martial arts".
The mainstream way of practice nowadays is to accumulate Qi and blood. Once it accumulates to a certain level, you can break through the barrier to achieve the effect of changing your muscles and cleansing your marrow and improving your life level.
After seven transformations and sublimations, one can enter the realm of mythology.
Compared with the mysterious era, martial arts practice in the new era requires climbing up step by step. It is not as convenient as directly absorbing the mysterious factors to break through, but it is also safer and more suitable for popularization among the whole people.
In the past, awakeners needed the assistance of the awakening land to break through. Nowadays, as long as martial arts practitioners have enough accumulation, they can break through on their own. Even if the breakthrough fails, it will only damage some blood and energy. Of course, there are also some potions to assist in breakthrough.
"If I want to be admitted to the Martial Arts University, it is still difficult to achieve the third awakening. Only the fourth awakening and inhuman realm can be admitted with certainty... There are only three months left. Can I break through to the fourth awakening?"
"Hahahaha, my dad prepared a breakthrough medicine for me. It won't be a problem to break through to the fourth level before the college entrance examination."
"It is said that the school beauty Luo has reached the sixth level of awakening and may be admitted to our famous martial arts school on Blue Star."
"No one is applying to Spark University? That's the best martial arts university."
"Once we have mastered the training, we will go to the Gray Mist Zone of the Fire Realm to eliminate the evil spirits and learn the spirit of our ancestors."
Young students are full of hope for the future.
This is the best era, everyone is like a dragon, and everyone has unlimited possibilities.
In the distance, on the rooftop of a teaching building, a man in a black coat was leaning on the railing, facing the wind, and a smile appeared on his stiff face.
He is Black Knife.
He has resigned from the position of chief instructor and lives in Baijiang City of Blue Star as an ordinary person. However, Heidao is still busy and works as a martial arts teacher in Baijiang No. 1 Middle School.
He enjoys watching the cadets flourish.
“This era is exactly what you’ve been waiting for.”
"only……"
What a pity, old friend, when can I see you again?
Heidao looked at the blue sky and white clouds and fell into reminiscence.
…
The world of Blue Star is vast and great, hanging high in the starry sky, unique.
And in the distance of the Blue Star world, there is an even more vast and vast continent.
This is the "salary world".
The old era passed, and the original name of the world has been forgotten. When the new era came, people named the world "Xin", which not only commemorates the fire that killed the evil god and saved this world and the universe, but also symbolizes the "new" of a new era and a new world.
In the "War of Salvation", countless large domains of the Gui Realm were destroyed, and the entire Middle Gui Realm completely collapsed. Now the area of the Xin Realm is only two-thirds of the former Gui Realm.
Much smaller.
But the salary world is not small at all.
Although the Ghost Realm was large in the past, the places available for living creatures were very limited. Today, the Salary Realm has shrunk a lot, but most places are full of vitality and can be cultivated into suitable places for living.
In the new era, humans and various ethnic groups are no longer limited to building cities in oases. Many powerful forces have even moved their own oases back to the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest regions, relocated in these large regions and opened up new living ground.
"A hundred years ago, after the victory of the Salvation War, the gray fog began to slowly dissipate, and our land of Xinjie began to regain vitality with oases as the center."
"Today, most areas in our Eastern Territory have returned to normal, but there are still some large areas that are relatively quiet and shrouded in gray fog. These areas are our mission targets."
A burly man over three meters tall spoke.
He was the leader of their adventure group, an old man who had lived from the old era to the present. Of course, old was only a relative term. Compared to the thousand-year lifespan of the mythical realm, a leader of over a hundred years could only be considered a young man.
"Let me tell you, I, your leader, personally participated in the battle to save the world."
"Under the guidance of our mentor, countless of us Xinhuo warriors boarded the Red Moon. Facing the evil waves that surged like waves, I, the captain, didn't even frown..."
As they were talking, one after another of the adventure teams that had received their missions arrived at the target area by airships.
The environment here is like the old era of the strange world, with gray fog floating between the sky and the earth, and it is difficult to see the sun. In the thick gray fog, some giant shadows hundreds of meters high can be vaguely seen.
The fall of the evil god and the eradication of his power only stopped the increase of filth in the world and the erosion of the world. However, there are still many places in the fire world where gray fog, filth, and evil remain.
However, the danger of these large areas has been greatly reduced, not to mention compared with the disaster tide period, even compared with the normal period of the ghost world, the gray fog is much thinner, and the number of ghosts and evil spirits is even more.
The strange evil no longer easily formed waves, and gradually tended to be killed into protective creatures.
But even if the gray fog is sparse and the evil is not so scary, the Dead Silence Realm still does not have the conditions for survival, and the awakened ones still need to rely on props such as fog-repelling lanterns to travel through these areas.
The pioneering mission is to be led by Xinhuo to carry out governance and improvement of these old domains.
Deep in the Eastern Realm, a place rarely visited by people.
Liu Chang walked along as if she was in a place without evil. Before all the evil things around her could fly to her, they were entangled by the vines that suddenly emerged from the ground and sucked into evil trunks.
The blood of an evil god was spilled in this area in the past, leaving thick stains of filth and even breeding some high-level evil spirits.
“Roar~”
A high-level evil spirit pounced on him, and like an ordinary evil spirit, it was entangled and sucked dry in an instant.
Liu Shang walked to the west side of the Great Domain, the place with the most filth. She opened the treasure box, took out a branch of the World Tree, and planted it carefully.
Even if it is just a small branch, the vitality it brings is stronger than a level seven oasis.
As soon as the branches were planted, the thick filth in the surroundings began to melt away - this was also related to the death of all the evil gods. Without the evil gods, the filth was like a tree without roots, and it was a hundred times easier to remove.
The filth receded and the earth began to seem less dead and dry.
Some tender sprouts grew from the ground, and the dark and turbid river in the distance gradually became clear.
Soon, this area will be cleaned up.
There was not much joy on Liu Shang's face. Seeing these evil gods' filth, she couldn't help but think of the battle a hundred years ago.
That figure that disappeared into the land of silence together with the most powerful evil god, Scarlet Moon.
Time flies, and a hundred years have passed.
The battle to save the world seems to have happened just yesterday.
Are the people from the past still alive? Can they come back?
…
"Teacher, he must still be alive!"
Blue Star, Shuize City, a towering monument stands on the land, with one name after another engraved on it.
There is no word "mentor".
Although many people believe that the mentor killed Scarlet Moon at the cost of his own life, a few people, including An Jianyou, firmly believe that the mentor must still be alive and he would not die like this!
"Teacher, he..."
A hundred years have passed, and Ilohi's appearance has not changed. She still looks like a teenage girl, but she seems much more mature. She gazed at the monument, touched her chest and mourned in silence, mourning the fallen soldiers.
Next to her was An Jianyou, who was wearing a beige knitted sweater and a dark blue pleated skirt.
She held a bouquet of flowers and placed it in front of the monument to commemorate the fallen soldiers.
War is the most ruthless, let alone a war of salvation launched by human power like a firefly against the evil god. In the wars, countless Xinhuo soldiers sacrificed, including a comrade-in-arms that An Jianyou was very familiar with.
Anna was ambushed by the evil god's servant, and her entire body was shattered, leaving only a head... If she hadn't practiced the Ten Thousand Beasts Body Refining to a deep level and could have slowly recovered with just her head, she would have died in the battle.
Polly had extremely strong defense, but she was only at the demigod level and faced with several servants of the evil gods, she couldn't even hold on for a moment. Her entire diamond body was completely shattered and she died on the Red Moon battlefield.
And so is Metissa.
Familiar faces appeared one after another.
An Jianyou was not too sad. "When I gain a higher authority over time, perhaps I can revive you."
She has confidence in this.
If a hundred years is not enough, then two hundred years, three hundred years, or even a thousand years!
only,
She has confidence in resurrecting only the Flame Warriors below the high level.
Her mentor died, and she had no ability to revive him.
She also didn't think that her mentor would die just like that. That wouldn't happen.
"But where are you, Master?"
Ilohi hesitated to speak.
She also felt that her mentor would not die so easily, but on the other hand, many powers in the world were left vacant.
The authority of fire, the authority of space, the authority of time...
And these powers were once held by the mentor, does this mean...
She looked at An Jianyou worriedly, but opened her mouth but couldn't say anything.
Damn it, she hasn’t even challenged her mentor and reached the top of the world yet!
"…Since that battle, we…"
In front of the monument, An Jianyou murmured softly, repeating what she had said countless times.
"The evil god has fallen, and the world has finally ushered in peace. Everyone shed tears of joy and cherishes this hard-earned peace very much."
"But some of the ancients, I don't know what they are thinking, actually want to restart the era of divine rule. Maybe they think that you, the mentor, have fallen, and the rest of us are seriously injured and dying."
“And then? Then these ancients were publicly executed, and we didn’t do anything about it.”
She talked about these interesting stories and told her tutor about the development and changes over the years.
"Heidao has resigned from the position of chief instructor, but he has been quietly paying attention to Xinhuo."
"Yiluoxi has taken action many times, killing many high-ranking evil spirits and shocking many people... Her name is now very famous."
"Xing Jinglei has also resigned from his position, but he often picks fights with the Ancients and even talks about holding the No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament in the Universe... This proposal has been strongly supported by Xitina, and I think it's a good idea, as it can help everyone become stronger. What do you think, Teacher?"
"Sister Yinling is still in office, but she has left all the work to Xu Yun. I don't know where she is now."
"Little Chi Yan is still a little uncomfortable with the peaceful environment, and often goes deep into the gray fog area alone... There is no need to worry about her safety, but if you were here, you could enlighten her."
"Teacher, when will you come back?"
She murmured, telling one funny story after another, and also revealing some embarrassing things that happened to Iloxi and others.
She covered her mouth and laughed, then fell silent, her eyes like lakes sparkling with crystal light.
It’s been a hundred years.
tutor……
Eyes that were like a lake suddenly rippled, and An Jianyou looked into the distance, at the figure in the vast sea of people.
Right where the lights are dim!
She rubbed her eyes.
Unbelievable, shocked, excited, crying with joy.
She opened her mouth and said in a calmer voice, "Teacher, welcome back."
The vicissitudes of time flowed in Fang You's eyes.
It was nine cycles, nine lives and nine reincarnations, with repeated meetings and separations.
All is One.
He looked at the girl in front of him, took a deep breath and smiled.
"Well, I'm back."
