Chapter 1676: Chapter 20: Companions (3)
“What exactly is the situation? It seems like the Desolate Alliance is about to collapse completely if I don’t come.”
“Not exactly, but the situation is indeed unfavorable.” Gu Yeqi shook his head slightly, “Before Candle Mountain, we were always on the defensive, but after Candle Mountain, we repaired the Dragon Remains Battleship and launched a counterattack, capturing several demon nests. We almost completely cleared out a section of the Demon Abyss.”
“However, recently, the intensity of the evil demons has been mysteriously increasing. The most troublesome part is that the attributes of these evil demons regarding ’demons’ are decreasing.”
“Attributes decreasing?”
“Yes.” Bai Qinghan took over the conversation, his tone serious, “Not only within the Great Wilderness, but the demonic nature of the Heavenly Demons in outer space is also decreasing. To be precise… they are becoming more like normal races.”
“However, they still retain the essence of Demonic Qi, yet are no longer affected by the special attacks of ordinary Demon-breaking Techniques. In this way, all our previous methods targeting the Demon Clan, like the Purification Magic Array and talismans, have lost their expected effects.”
“Moreover, the Heavenly Demons frequently express coexistence stances, eroding many people’s minds—they claim they do not intend to eradicate all life, merely wishing to erode everything, and as long as one accepts Demonic Qi, they can live normally in the future world.”
“It is for these reasons that the fighting spirit within the Great Wilderness is already lower than imagined, and quite a few say that the one who killed the beings of the Great Wilderness Realm years ago was indeed your Evil Suppressing Sword, while the Holy Demon… did not really kill that many people after all.”
“Wow.”
Upon hearing this, An Jing, at least the An Jing whose memory is still incomplete, couldn’t help but lean back slightly with his armored head, “What kind of nonsense is that? Although I also don’t remember what the situation was like back then, based on what Yu Feng previously told me, if I hadn’t made a decisive move, the Demon Lord of the Great Wilderness would have swallowed the entire Great Wilderness Realm, right? At that time, did they even want to live?”
“Heavenly Demons do not hesitate to lie; they surely say that everyone can live a lovely New Year inside the Demon Lord’s belly, and might even make dumplings.” You Ruhui shrugged, “If Heavenly Demons dare to say it, surely someone dares to believe it. In the end, it’s due to a lack of hope leading to desperation when clutching at straws. When you, An Jing, make a decisive move and send those evil demons a heavy blow, it will undoubtedly wake up quite a few fools.”
“That’s roughly it.”
Gu Yeqi summarized, “After contacting you, Eldest Senior, this time, I will immediately start addressing the internal issues of the Desolate Alliance and provide all the support needed for your actions, Eldest Senior. This will take some time; once I resolve the internal problems, you, Eldest Senior, can set out.”
“Meanwhile, you might want to take a rest since, after all, you’ve just returned from revival, Eldest Senior, no need to rush into battle.”
An Jing listened and nodded slightly, “Thank you.”
Through these exchanges, he could see and feel that everyone present truly hoped he could fully recover, reclaim all his memories, and become the one who can lead them forward.
However, having made his decision, they also chose to support him without any compulsion; everyone was earnest in analyzing the situation and explaining the circumstances for him, with no reservations.
This is true trust, and he fully believes in all their words.

Just…
“There are others, right?”
An Jing asked, lost in thought, “It shouldn’t be just the three of you… There should be others.”
“Huo Qing and Cang Linzu… Cang Lin. They are working together to prepare for a major event.” Bai Qinghan and You Ruhui exchanged a glance, and the latter chuckled, “Waiting to give you a surprise.”
Bai Qinghan also nodded, “Nian Quan is guarding the edge of the void, responsible for clearing high-level evil demons that might infiltrate; otherwise, there would have been not just a few appearing here.”
“Nian Quan, Huo Qing, Cang Linzu…” An Jing repeated those names, smiling, “It’s nice indeed… not feeling alone.”
He then lowered his head to inspect himself, adjusted some armor details, “I don’t really need rest; just replenishing some Taisu Essence Slaughter for future self-repair reserves will suffice. Next, I plan to check out the Dragon Remains Battleship.”
“Alright.” Gu Yeqi nodded, “Once the Dragon Remains Battleship is fully prepared, Eldest Senior, you will take over as the main controller. To be honest, the current Dragon Remains Battleship hasn’t been fully powered up yet; no pilot can bear the power of the dragon remains, but if it’s you, then it’ll definitely be different.”
Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch, things were smooth on An Jing’s side during this reunion, while on the side of the evil demons, it was dire.
