Chapter 1013: Final Chapter

He just left like that.

Under the witness of the world, Chen Yan suppressed the Mother God with a great array cage and flew into the depths of the starry sky.

No one knew how this battle would unfold.

Yet, the intense fluctuations of emotion in such a short time made everyone's hearts surge.

A sense of powerlessness, a sense of awe, a sense of admiration...

All kinds of emotions.

Only now did people finally understand.

It turned out that from beginning to end, it was only a battle between Chen Yan and the Mother God.

The rest of the people were simply not qualified to participate.

It turned out that the so-called despair was merely the final game of chess laid out by Chen Yan.

Using his true self to lure the enemy, using his will as a guide, and using the Return to One as the key, he completely locked that indescribable existence, along with Jilie, inside the cage.

At this moment.

People looked at the direction where the cage disappeared, looked at those eyeballs on the firmament that began to collapse crazily.

Looked at the dark red tentacles gradually fading on the scorched earth.

Some were foolish.

Some were sluggish.

Some were dazed.

Some were anxious.

For a long, long time, no one spoke.

Chen Yu stared blankly at the starry sky.

Beside her, her teacher Ji Yannan arrived, his eyes full of awe.

She was a witness to Chen Yan's rise.

For a moment, Ji Yannan felt as if a long, long time had passed.

"Wait."

Someone spoke.

"We wait."

He looked at the crowd, filled with hope.

"Wait for him to return, to see this human world, the lights of ten thousand homes, a prosperous and everlasting Chang'an."

Chen Yu nodded blankly.

"Big Brother will come back."

"Chen Yan..."

Someone's voice was hoarse; it was Jiang Yuan:

"What step did he actually reach? Is he a match for the Mother God?"

No one answered him.

Chen Yan's existence had already transcended the Martial Dao.

People found it difficult to describe Chen Yan using the levels of cultivation realms.

The moment Zhao Zhugui merged with Chen Yan.

People could feel that Chen Yan had completely evolved.

The word "god" was no longer an adjective.

It was more like an apt term.

"Three Saints Slaughter the Demon... Three Saints Slaughter the Demon..."

Ji Ling murmured blankly.

Now, she finally understood what "Three Saints Slaughter the Demon" truly meant.

That corrupted Master of the Martial Dao was Chen Yan.

And the ones who slaughtered Chen Yan were Chen Yan's three clones.

The moment Chen Yan failed, He would also return once more.

The three clones and the true self completely merged into one; that was the real Chen Yan.

I don't know when it started.

People could no longer force out Chen Yan's true foundation.

"Chen Yan plotted today starting from the Five Clans Dispute."

Shen Yiwei's voice was hoarse, his eyes full of shock:

"At that time, he actually created three clones.

Li Zhiyi and Zhang Huizhi were always outside, but the real trump card was actually that gray-robed man from just now."

Shen Yiwei looked at the vast human world:

"The other party laid out an extremely profound great array across the entire human world, grasping the lifeblood of the human world from the very beginning."

The more Shen Yiwei spoke, the more his voice trembled.

Now his words were more like hindsight.

If viewed from the past.

Chen Yan's plan was truly a bit too magnificent.

With the body of one person, he drew the whole world and even the Mother God into the fray.

The crowd listened quietly, their throats choked with emotion.

So, Chen Yan's plan had been hidden so deeply.

"Too devious..."

Jiang Yuan said sheepishly.

No wonder he could deceive the Great Family Alliance, deceive the Ji Master, and deceive the Unmanifest Void Sacrifice, yet always suffer at the hands of Chen Yan.

As it turned out, he was not devious enough.

Not as devious as Chen Yan.

He understood now.

"In this regard, the Chen Clan is simply a single lineage passed down; just think about it!"

Jiang Yuan's voice trembled:

"The Master of Arrays hid in the Evil Realm and kept plotting his own affairs, nearly changing the landscape of the human world.

Not to mention Chen Yuan, who even caused his own ancestor to die.

And Chen Yan, he is even more devious!

Look at the Chen Clan, then look at our Great Xia.

The Xia Moon King, in truth, only knows how to act shamelessly.

The Patrol Sun Divine General simply disdains playing devious tricks.

The Xia Master is even less worth mentioning, as he doesn't care about human affairs at all.

Compared to the Chen Clan, our Great Xia is like an innocent, naive little girl."

As Jiang Yuan spoke, he became more and more excited.

But soon, Jiang Yuan felt a great many gazes upon him.

Many people's eyes were cold.

Jiang Yuan shrank his neck.

Yu Siyan let out a cold sneer.

The crowd gazed into the void.

Waiting for something.

Time passed slowly just like that.

One day, two days, three days...

Throughout the entire Great Xia territory, living beings frequently looked toward the void.

However, Chen Yan did not return.

Five years of time passed in the snap of a finger.

Upon the scorched earth of the former Great Xia, green wheat waves had already grown.

The land that had been scorched and cracked by white flames that year had already been filled with bricks and stones, leveled once again.

Within cities and villages, wind chimes tinkled on the eaves, the sound of reading aloud rang out, and the scent of blood and fire from those years was no longer to be seen.

Children chased butterflies across the ridges of the fields, and the elderly shook palm-leaf fans while telling legends of the Heavenly Divine General.

The smoke of human life rose in spirals, drifting over the entire land of the human race.

Everywhere, there were sculptures of the Heavenly Divine General.

People passed on his stories, even though his stories had long since been deeply ingrained in their hearts.

The Five Clans began to rebuild.

Living people from the Five Clans began to return to their homelands, but the progress of reconstruction was far behind that of Great Xia.

Under the suggestion of the Great Elder Yu Wen, Yu Province completely merged into Great Xia.

Yu Province's technology began to spread widely throughout the entire Great Xia.

Qin Province.

The Green Mountains of Yunmeng became the holy land of the human race today.

The former residence of the Heavenly Divine General was converted into a temple after being rebuilt.

There were many who came and went to pay their respects.

Si Wenyi was appointed as the Chief Priest of the temple; in a certain sense, Si Wenyi's status far exceeded that of the Qin Province Governor Shen Yiwei.

"Today's worship has ended; you may all come again tomorrow."

Looking at the living people still waiting outside the temple, Si Wenyi spoke calmly.

"Is it over..."

"Mom, I want to touch the sculpture of the Heavenly Divine General."

"Come back tomorrow."

"Will the Heavenly Divine General ever come back?"

One voice after another rose up, and the crowd, like a tide, began to leave.

Si Wenyi gazed at the backs of the crowd, a trace of sorrow flashing in her eyes.

She walked into the temple.

On the altar, the white-robed statue of the Heavenly Divine General had handsome features and sword-like eyebrows tilted upward.

Incense mist curled around the pillars, copper bells trembled lightly, and the eternal lamp on the altar flickered.

Si Wenyi looked at his face, and for a moment, tears flashed in her eyes.

Yet at this very moment, a voice sounded.

"I also want to have a temple built for me."

"I suggest you do not do that."

Si Wenyi frowned, but saw two figures standing with their hands behind their backs, having appeared suddenly, looking at the sculpture of Chen Yan.

"The morning worship has already ended today."

Si Wenyi spoke in a cold voice.

The two people who had been talking turned around and looked at Si Wenyi.

Si Wenyi was stunned.

Yet they saw that those two people were none other than Lu Xunyang and Xia Hanzhou.

"Divine General Xunyang, Moon King Xia, you..."

"We have come back to life."

Xia Hanzhou chuckled aloud.

"Then... what about him?"

Si Wenyi spoke subconsciously.

"Oh, he asked us to come and call you for a meal," Lu Xunyang said.

"At the Xiaoyang Military Guard, the place where you all used to gather."

Just as Lu Xunyang was speaking, they saw Si Wenyi had already turned into a streak of light and vanished.

"Tell me, what realm is Chen Yan at now?" Xia Hanzhou asked.

"I don't know, I can't understand it at all; he is about to leave."

"Leave?" Xia Hanzhou frowned.

"Go where?"

Lu Xunyang chuckled lightly.

"The universe is so vast; he wants to find stronger opponents. He contacted me, and I agreed; I will leave with him."

Xia Hanzhou was stunned: "Then why didn't he call me?"

"You?" Lu Xunyang pursed his lips.

"You are not someone who likes to challenge yourself. By the way, go to the Forbidden Land of Ancient Gods; Chen Yan has been there."

"He found the remnant soul of Chi Mi."

"Chi Mi said that someone once personally pushed her into the Forbidden Land of Ancient Gods, and now she needs that person to carry her back."

Lu Xunyang finished speaking.

Tears instantly welled up in Xia Hanzhou's eyes, and they vanished.

Xiaoyang City.

Inside a room of the Military Guard.

Chen Yu was clinging to Chen Yan.

"So, Brother, you actually defeated the Mother God a long time ago, and have been searching for planets with living beings during this time?"

Chen Yu was somewhat dissatisfied.

Did her big brother know how she had spent these past few years?

"Mm."

Chen Yan nodded.

"I prepared too much for the Mother God."

"After I left, not even half a year later, the Mother God was drained dry by the Eternal Tribulation Counter-Blood Array."

He smiled.

After killing the Mother God, he worried that there were still similar existences within the universe.

In order to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, Chen Yan searched in the depths of the universe for a long, long time.

Unfortunately, he did not find any.

He did, however, find a few other civilizations.

But the level of development of those few civilizations was very low.

Chen Yan believed that there must be even more powerful civilizations in the depths of the universe.

"So, Brother, can't you just stay in the human world? Why must you leave?"

Chen Yu spoke with some reluctance.

"Xiaoyu, you don't understand."

Chen Yan chuckled aloud.

"Strong enemies make me perfect!"

Chen Yu lowered her head.

"Then take me with you when you leave."

"I can," Chen Yan nodded.

"Really?" Chen Yu's eyes were bright and sparkling.

"Really, I plan to set off after resting for ten years."

Chen Yan patted Chen Yu's head.

He had already discussed it with Lu Xunyang.

They planned to set off together.

As for Xia Zhiyang, the Lord of Elements, the Lord of the Universe, and Chen Fazhen.

They did not intend to leave.

They have suffered for a long time and wish to see the human world once more.

To put it plainly, they intend to slack off for a few hundred years.

Although Xia Zhiyang and Lu Xunyang are the same person.

They are different from Chen Yan.

Since his birth, Lu Xunyang has cultivated using his own strength.

He possesses a unique personality.

Yet Chen Yan and the other three newborn entities are the same.

The three newborn entities are simply a part of Chen Yan.

As for Chen Yuan.

After taking one look at the human world, Chen Yuan has already left on his own.

That person cannot stay in the human world.

He is a sinner.

Chen Yan placed a wisp of immortal will inside Chen Yuan, which can sense Chen Yuan's location.

Chen Yuan can go to other worlds to create a faction first, and then Chen Yan will follow.

"Stop talking, the food is ready!"

Chen Yuhu's voice rang out as he brought a pot of braised pig trotters into the living room.

"It smells so good!" Chen Yu exclaimed.

"Dad, stop working, let's eat together."

Chen Yan smiled.

"You eat first." Chen Yuhu's eyes were full of smiles:

"There is half a sheep still stewing in the pot, it will be ready soon."

It was at this very moment.

"Greetings, Heavenly Divine General!"

Voices rang out one after another.

And there.

Outside the door.

Shen Yiwei, Luo Puxin, Yu Sixian, Jidao Wu, Yin Qingshuang, Yu Ming, Yu Cheng, and other comrades who attained immortality with Chen Yan were bowing to Chen Yan.

"Everyone, there is no need for formalities."

Chen Yan smiled faintly.

Yin Qingshuang, however, hurriedly said:

"My father told me I must thank the Heavenly Divine General; if not for you, neither I nor Yin Youming would have been resurrected."

Chen Yan smiled faintly:

"I promised the old man that I would restore all things to how they were, and I keep my word."

For the current Chen Yan, resurrecting living beings is as simple as can be.

He looked behind the crowd.

Ke Qingxuan, dressed in black, was smiling at him calmly.

Her black robes trailed on the ground, a faint smile bloomed on her lips, and her cold, clear brows and eyes were very gentle.

Chen Yan looked at her, for a long, long time.

The next moment.

"Where is Jiang Yuan?" Chen Yan asked.

"Jiang Yuan, heh..."

Yu Sixian sneered:

"He repeatedly submitted petitions wanting the title of Divine General, but the human world already has a Heavenly Divine General, and no one else is worthy of being a Divine General.

Xia Yuan is acting as the administrator of national punishment, and my foolish brother is in seclusion at the Xia Lord Divine Temple."

Chen Yu parted her red lips slightly:

"I have heard of this matter; let's call him out."

"That won't do."

Yu Sixian hurriedly spoke up:

"Jiang Yuan has an improper heart; if he leaves seclusion, he will surely disturb the world.

However, how to punish Jiang Yuan still requires the Heavenly Divine General's decision!"

Yu Sixian bowed.

Chen Yan looked at Yu Sixian and nodded quietly.

Such a good brother is hard to find in the human world.

"Where is Chen Min?" Chen Yan continued to ask.

"Chen Min likes to fight, so he has been in the Divine Temple challenging my brother."

Yu Sixian smiled:

"Actually, Chen Min is only like this because he feels Jiang Yuan is disrespectful to the Heavenly Divine General."

Chen Yan pursed his lips:

"Where is San Jin?"

"San Jin, I forgot to call her." Shen Yiwei spoke up:

"I'll go right now."

"I'll go." Chen Yan spoke, then immediately looked at Yu Sixian and said:

"You have poison in your body; go get it checked out properly in a few days.

It's not a lethal poison, but once it flares up, your whole body will itch, and even an Eighth Rank can't easily cure it."

As Chen Yan's voice fell, Yu Sixian's expression stiffened.

He was about to say something, but saw that Chen Yan had already vanished.

Jin Province.

Inside a chicken leg shop.

San Jin, wearing a white robe, sat there blankly.

"Boss, are you actually selling chicken legs in this shop or not?

You don't have a single chicken leg, yet you open your doors every day."

Someone at the entrance complained aloud.

"I... want... to wait for him to come and eat."

A trace of sadness appeared in San Jin's eyes, and she did not want to pay attention to the person speaking.

"Then you still have to make them."

That person laughed.

"But he... hasn't returned..."

As San Jin spoke, she suddenly felt it sounded very familiar and looked toward the source of the voice.

Chen Yan looked at San Jin with a smile:

"Long time no see."

San Jin stood up.

She stood rooted to the spot, her almond eyes opened wide.

Astonishment still lingered in her eyes, her eyelashes trembled, and crystal-clear teardrops rolled down without warning.

"I... I'll make them right now."

…………

Lu Province.

Royal Court.

Lu Jianxia sat forlornly upon the throne.

"Do you want to go to my house for a meal?"

A voice rang out.

Lu Jianxia's pair of silver eyes had been looking at the sky outside the great hall, as if she had not heard the person's words.

"The food my dad makes tastes very good."

That voice sounded again, interrupting Lu Jianxia's thoughts.

"Tell Ji Ling, if she wants to rebuild Ji Province, go beg Great Xia; don't come looking for me."

Lu Jianxia was somewhat irritable; today, because of this topic, the interior of Lu Province had been arguing for a long time.

"Besides, her Ji Province collateral branch is fundamentally unwilling to go rebuild Ji Province with her."

Lu Jianxia supported her forehead, and as her gaze shifted, she saw that figure.

"You..."

She froze, momentarily bewildered.

"What did you... just say?"

"I said..."

Chen Yan smiled:

"Do you want to go to my house for a meal?"

Lu Jianxia stood up, her pair of silver eyes staring blankly at him:

"Okay."
