Chapter 145: With Resentment as Fuel, Ignite the Remnant Soul of Shu Han!

Su Ming stared at that spear.

Countless thoughts flashed by.

Could it be… Ma Chao?

That Xiliang warlord, like Zhao Yun, is also a master of the spear.

Both civil and martial, heroic beyond peers, an absolute battlefield‑assault type warlord!

The greatest pain of his life was his entire family being slaughtered by Cao Cao.

Living under another's roof, he ultimately withered away.

This vengeance, this hatred, this unfulfilled ambition that cannot be settled…

Enough to let his resentment linger for a thousand years!

"But… it doesn't quite fit!"

Su Ming shook his head.

This one, it seems, does not target the reasoning of those two.

Ma Chao's hatred is a blazing fire that incinerates Cao Wei, upright, fierce, and direct.

But the aura of this spear…

It is Decay, it is decline, it is the chilling cold that has soaked in a swamp for millennia.

"Could it possibly be… Wei Yan?"

Wei Yan is brave and also has cunning stratagems.

Yet because of his aloof nature, and that unadopted Ziwu Gu's Strange Stratagem.

After Zhuge Liang died of illness at Wuzhangyuan, his conflict with Yang Yi erupted completely.

The two wrote petitions to Liu Chan, accusing each other of treason.

Wei Yan led his troops to block Yang Yi's retreat route, but his subordinates scattered and were defeated.

Yang Yi sent men to pursue and slay Wei Yan, then exterminated the three Yan families, ending with death and extinction, bearing the millennial traitor's curse.

His grievance…

It is unrecognized talent, it is dying with eyes unclosed, it is an earth‑shattering defiance!

This resentment actually fits to some extent!

"No matter who you are!"

The contemplation in Su Ming's eyes was completely engulfed by a dense killing intent.

Whether hero or tyrant…

Since it has become the breeding ground of the Rotting Son, the heart of this hell!

Then there is nothing left to say!

It must be destroyed!

Su Ming no longer hesitated, adjusted his breathing, and gripped the Soul Dagger tightly.

Towards that profaned tomb!

Towards that spear, slanted into the ground, the Calamity spear!

He took a step forward!

However, just as he was about to reach out…

A deadly sense of crisis exploded, his hair standing on end.

Bang!

Su Ming's toe struck the ground hard, his whole body turning into a fleeting shadow, shooting backward!

Snort—!

A sharp arrow, brushing his Lingren Score, flashed by.

If it had been a moment later…

It would have pierced his forehead!

Su Ming steadied his posture, suddenly looking up, his heart pounding wildly.

Beside that rust‑stained dark‑green long spear…

At some point, another figure appeared.

Clad in armor long broken, stained dark red by blood and earth.

His build wasn't massive, yet like a solitary javelin, he stood alone in this hell.

His face was full of furrows carved by wind and frost, his temples already white with age.

Only his eyes.

Shone astonishingly!

There was no Guan Yu's pride, no Zhang Fei's fury.

Only the dead ash that, after countless hopes and despairs, still burned.

He is guarding this spear.

He is also the one who just struck at me!

"Who are you?!"

Su Ming shouted sharply.

In his pupils, a tiny golden star disc spun wildly.

Opposite, the person slowly raised his hand.

The rust‑stained dark green spear buzzed up, and he grasped it in his hand!

As the gun barrel quivered, a dry, hoarse voice pierced the endless murderous aura.

Han! Grand General! Jiang Wei!

What?!

Su Ming's mind went blank, and the golden star chart in his eyes laid out all the information.

【Name】: Lone Minister Jiang Wei (Embodiment of Obsession)

【Quality】: Legendary (???)

【Rank】: Han·Grand General

【Status】: 【Rotting Son】 collaborator! Using resentment as fuel, soul linked to Green Sinking, Han Spirit unextinguished!

【Ability 1 – Nine Unending Strikes】: Passive! Within this hell, for each lingering Shu‑Han soul, all attributes receive a slight boost! As long as the obsession to Restore the Han Court remains, its heroic soul never withers!

【Ability 2 – Inheriting the Chancellor's Will】: Can absorb and use the residual power of the Wu Hou Eight Formation, laying a Pseudo Eight Formation Diagram! Using resentment as a lure, overturning heaven and earth, entrapping and killing ten thousand foes!

【Ability 3 – Bold as a Cauldron】 (charging): Once fully charged, can sacrifice all lingering Shu‑Han souls here, including 【Righteous Severance·Guan Yu】 and 【Furious Hero·Zhang Fei】! Pour their lifelong obsessions and overwhelming resentment into the Green Sinking Spear, thrusting the final strike to Restore the Han Court! For this decayed world, reopen a Gate named "Han"!

【Karma Overview】: The Chancellor perished at Wuzhangyuan, Yan Xing perished beneath Jin City, I perished amid chaotic troops! The Mandate of Heaven is gone, yet my will remains! Since the loyal brave souls have nowhere to rest, they become undying resentment! Since the radiant Dao forbids Han revival, I will use the demonic path, marching against Heaven!

【Annotation】: Dig the world's tomb, bury the Han family's souls, all for that already withered flower of Restoration!

Boom!!!

Su Ming's face was filled with shock.

Jiang Wei!

It was Jiang Wei!

He is the one who inherited the Chancellor's will, with his own strength, nine‑times struck the Central Plains, maintaining Shu‑Han's fortunes unbroken for the last twenty years...

Jiang Boyue!

He has imagined countless possibilities.

But he never thought of...

The creator of this hell is not a demon, not an external enemy, but Shu‑Han's final...

Guardian!

What made his whole body shiver even more were the few words in the 【Status】.

【Rotting Son】 collaborator?

How could he, and how dare he, get involved with that guy?!

In the name of Shu‑Han's last Grand General, he personally dug open Pao Ze's tomb, releasing their resentment!

He personally incited fratricidal slaughter, devouring their regrets!

But he did all this not because his heart was insincere when he first surrendered to Shu‑Han, nor because he hates Shu‑Han!

But...

Love reached its extreme, becoming a mad demon!

He will use resentment as firewood, burning all lingering Shu‑Han souls!

Condensing into an undying 【Resentment Shu Army】, returning to the mortal world!

This...

This is no longer obsession!

It is sheer madness!

It is for that goal long impossible to achieve.

Even at the cost of using all of Pao Ze, all loyal souls, as fuel and sacrifice...

Ultimate atrocity!

"Fuck..."

Su Ming's body trembled slightly.

He sensed a trace of his own kind on Jiang Wei.

But even crazier, even more obsessive than him!

However...

Isn't Jiang Wei just like that?!

After Shu‑Han's fall, this guy still hasn't given up reviving the Han Court.

Feigning surrender to Zhong Hui, secretly plotting the grand restoration plan of 【One Plot Harm Three Worthies】!

【We ministers are ready to fight to the death, why does Your Majesty surrender first?】

【May Your Majesty endure a few days of humiliation, I wish to make the state perilous then safe again, the sun and moon dim then bright!】

【My plan failed, it is the Mandate of Heaven!】

Obsession too deep... too deep!

It's like one's own tower collapsing, crystal exploding, the game lost.

But he is still dealing damage!

"So..."

"Ten deaths without life, the true great terror is not the fratricidal 【Martial Saint】 and 【Ten Thousand Enemy】..."

"But it is this one before us, who for a vague, illusory dream, willingly bears all sins, dragging the whole world into an irrecoverable abyss as a lone minister!"

"Fragment of the Gate! Not the Gate used by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to block the road!"

"But it is the Han Dynasty's lone minister, who wants to carve open with the resentment of ten thousand Shu‑Han souls, letting the 【Resentment Shu Army】 break yin and yang, and reinsert the Han banner into the world through the Gate of Han Restoration!"
