Chapter 2911

Actually, in this peculiar battle, the Red General's understanding was correct, so she won.

Or conversely, it also holds true.

Conclusion, after all, is written by the victors.

He Lingchuan has died and his karmic debts are settled; his karma should now withdraw.

The darkness before her eyes shattered, and the Red General returned to the Panlong world.

He Lingchuan on the ground was already gone.

He was still taken away by karma, which was his agreement with karma, and the Red General could not stop it. But the Dream Cocoon in the Red General's hand retained all his past and memories.

A snake bracelet still lay on the ground, but it had shattered into several pieces, especially the snake head split from the corner of its mouth into two halves, and the red light in the snake's eyes had also vanished.

This is the shattered Fate Divinity shattered by the Red General. Karma slipped away, and it had nowhere to go.

"What are you still resisting?" the Red General crouched down, bringing the Dream Cocoon near the snake bracelet fragments, "Come on in, obediently."

These fragments indeed turned into flowing light, sucked into the Dream Cocoon.

Immediately afterward, time flow resumed, and the Panlong soldiers suddenly discovered they could move again.

Xu Shichu stepped forward: "Red General, just now was..."

Like the other soldiers, he was utterly bewildered by what had just happened.

It seemed many things had occurred on the scene, starting from the unexplained disappearance of Sun Fuling and the Red General after they touched hands; they couldn't make sense of any of it!

At this moment, thunderous horse hooves echoed from behind the hills—turns out it was the Panlong army that had previously pursued the retreating Bega forces, now returning to Huicheng.

"Report, Zhang Kangyi has already joined forces with the retreating Bega army, withdrawing from the Mokou Road."

Zhang Kangyi arrived, leading the remaining Bega troops to withdraw, indeed showing no intention to continue attacking Panlongcheng. Seeing this, the Red General's army ceased pursuit and quickly returned to Panlongcheng.

"The timing is just right." The Red General listened, then lifted her gaze toward the horizon.

At the same time, a Panlong soldier pointed at the sky and shouted: "Look, look over there!"

On the horizon, the golden light of sunrise pierced through the dark clouds. People on the ground saw that on the patch of sky where clouds had parted, a city was clearly reflected.

To everyone, this scene was actually no longer rare. Over the past few years, the sky had occasionally reflected other cities. Initially, everyone thought it was a mirage, but gradually some legends arose, believing it was scenery from other times and spaces occasionally seeping through the rift between worlds and reflecting here.

This explanation was more interesting than a mirage, so many accepted it, and there were always adventurers wanting to go up and explore.

But this time's scenery was very special.

Someone whispered: "Strange, why is that also Panlongcheng?"

The city walls on the sky were towering and majestic, with that unique triple gate, those defenses armed to the teeth—everyone present could instantly recognize it as Panlongcheng.

"Someone is on the city!"

"Is this Panlongcheng also under attack?"

"Why don't the two sides recognize each other? Strange, their armor we've never seen before!"

"Right, but anyway, it's not Bega's!"

The Panlong soldiers discussed heatedly.

Xu Shichu asked: "General, do you know what's going on?"

After Zhong Shengguang transformed into a demon spirit, Panlongcheng was under Xu Shichu's full authority. But he understood in his heart that when the Red General returned, she would be the supreme leader.

The Red General fixed her gaze on the sky, unblinking: "That is also Panlongcheng."

Her voice was not loud, but it clearly reached every Panlong person's ears.

Everyone exchanged glances: What did the General mean by "also"?

The Red General spoke in a deep voice: "We just defeated Bega and the heavenly demons, preserving the Great Cauldron. Now, the Great Cauldron can smoothly advance, preparing to merge with another world."

She pointed to the city in the sky: "That is it."

Of course, no one understood what "merging with another world" meant.

The Red General did not explain, only telling everyone: "Those attacking the city are also heavenly demons."

The Panlong soldiers' expressions changed instantly.

Oh? Again, heavenly demons?

Good, very good!

The gate-panel soldier erected a shelter, watching the sky battle: "No, just with their few people, how could they be a match for heavenly demons?"

Hu Min then said: "But their opponents don't seem very strong either—just half a day, and they still haven't broken the outermost defense."

At this moment, the sky suddenly turned dark red, the blazing sun vanished, everything around darkened, and only the reflected city in the sky remained clearly visible, even growing larger in people's field of view.

Huh, could it be?

"The two worlds are about to merge." The Red General immediately ordered: "All troops return to the city, prepare for the next battle!"

Even Xu Shichu couldn't figure out what exactly happened after the Tiger Wing General's death, let alone the entire army. So the Red General didn't explain further, only issuing commands.

Her word is law; wherever her banner points, that is where all armies advance.

Obedience to her has long been etched into the bones of the Great Wind Army and the Panlong Army. So even if everyone still harbored doubts in their hearts, it didn't hinder them from swiftly carrying out orders.

When the army had fully returned to the city, the city in the sky had already expanded to fill the entire sky, as if it would crash into the ground in the next second.

Anyone with clear vision could see at a glance that collision between heaven and earth was imminent.

Then the sky suddenly began to rain, drip by drip, striking people's faces, icy and bone-chilling.

But this rain was not imperial nectar.

It was dark red, formed from the earlier earth fissures that released red mist rising into the sky and merging with raindrops.

Being drenched by this rain on the head, every Panlong person suddenly had an epiphany, as if there had originally been a small hidden chaos deep in their minds, but the icy rain piercing into the brain suddenly made everything clear.

This is called "Baptism."

The red rain fell harder and harder, until only the sound of dripping water remained between heaven and earth, even the wind ceased.

The Red General looked back at her army behind her, watching the soldiers' eyes gradually change:

From astonishment to clarity, from doubt to steadiness, from confusion back to resolve.

The soldiers and civilians of the Panlong Army clearly remained in place, their movements unchanged, yet their aura was completely different from before.

Though this rain is not Imperial Flowing Elixir, it shares a similar wondrous effect.

Imperial Flowing Elixir has a slight transforming and enlightening function upon all living things under heaven;

while this red rain, for the people of the Panlong World, has a slight awakening effect!

Yes, they remembered!

They recalled that long ago, they had once, under the leadership of Zhong Shengguang and the Red General, held the Panlong Wasteland, fighting against the heavenly demons.

They remembered the iron-blooded sorrow and helplessness of battle after battle.

They also remembered that Panlongcheng had another ending, different from the present one, and that was the true history.

In that history, there was no Tiger Wing General, no Mao River Plains, no Panlong State, nor the Panlong State-organized Sixteen Kingdoms Alliance, and they could not even obtain support from the Spirit Mountain.

They were the heroic spirits who withered on this wasteland, fighting to the last moment, yet isolated and helpless, dying in resentment!

Then, everything began again.

In this inexplicable world, the history of Panlongcheng repeats once more, until now, at this very moment, defying heaven and changing fate!

Countless people raised their heads, letting the rain strike their faces, gazing upward and letting out long cries.

It turned out that, in reality and in this space, they had already lived two lives as humans.

The memories of history overlapped with their present experiences.

They firmly remembered their experiences from two lives, and also saw clearly their situation:

They were heroic spirits, not humans—at least not before returning to the true world.

"The Panlongcheng of the mortal realm also needs our salvation." The Red General drew his Floating Life Blade, pointed toward the city drawing ever closer in the heavens, and let out a long cry: "All commanders, hear my order! We shall return to the mortal realm, once again, to fight for humanity!"

This is Zhong Shengguang's vow, and also the faith of the Panlong heroic spirits!

The rear army swished as they drew their weapons, all pointing to the sky, their voices like thunder, piercing the clouds:

"To fight for humanity!"

Thanks to Li Bu Guan for the reward, classmate~
