Chapter 802 That battle really should end.
The Sword Master gazed at Jiang Chen, his eyes revealing admiration.
He could indeed have been spared with that strike.
Despite their extraordinary strength, the Beast King and the Giant Blade Insect have been dormant for many years after suffering fatal injuries and have not yet fully recovered.
Now, facing attacks from its own kind, defeat is inevitable.
The Sword Master was curious but didn't ask. Every professional has their own secrets, and besides, his situation didn't need further explanation.
Jiang Chen actually understood that the Sword Master had already perished.
He only knew that the Beast King was not yet dead and that he had left a sword to deal with them.
If Li Zun were still alive, he would probably have already charged over there.
There is a clear boundary between the two cemetery areas, with one side being the territory of humans and the other of the gods.
On the other side lay the territory of the wild beasts and the insectoid race. Even after death, their remnant souls continued to fight.
Jiang Chen surveyed the battle situation and understood that the outcome was already decided. The destruction of the Beast King and the Giant Blade Insect was only a matter of time. So he turned to the Blade Master and said, "I have some questions I would like to ask you. Would it be convenient for you?"
Dao Zun laughed heartily, "If there's anything inconvenient, please feel free to ask."
The Sword Master seemed to have a high opinion of Jiang Chen, this junior.
Jiang Chen cut to the chase, "Back then, the gods were ambushed, and our clan fought a desperate battle. It seems to me that the two sides were vastly different in strength. How did we manage to win?"
Witnessing these resurrected beings, thousands of half-god level beings, and dozens of god-level beings.
The strength of the wild beasts and insectoids far surpasses that of the human race.
Logically, this battle should have been a foregone conclusion, with humanity destined to lose. However, humanity ultimately triumphed. Their unwavering belief and the mobilization of the world's power by the will of the world were key factors in their victory.
Antares did take action, but it was not the decisive factor.
In addition, Jiang Chen believes there are deeper reasons.
The Sword Master gave Jiang Chen a deep look, "It's truly remarkable that you could think of these things."
"There are indeed other reasons."
"We acquired a batch of equipment, as well as some magical elixirs."
Jiang Chen was slightly surprised. "Equipment? Pills?" Dao Zun nodded. "That's right. A batch of god-level equipment, of extremely high quality, which will allow us to unleash extraordinary strength."
Jiang Chen looked at the greatsword in the Blade Master's hand and the sword held by the Sword Master.
He had suspected then and there whether a remnant soul could wield a real sword, and this sword was clearly extraordinary. The Sword Master guessed Jiang Chen's thoughts, "You guessed right, it is indeed the weapon in our hands."
These weapons are incredibly powerful, capable of multiplying our strength.
For example, although I am only at the sixth level of the God Realm, wielding this weapon allows me to unleash the combat power of an eighth-level God Realm cultivator.
"A two-tier advancement? That's truly powerful!" Jiang Chen took a deep breath; the difference between two tiers was enormous.
Without reaching the level of a transcendent god, it's hard to imagine such power.
Jiang Chen personally experienced the mysteries of Antares, gradually increasing his power from the first level of the God Realm until he reached the ninth level of the God Realm, and finally stepped into the realm of the True God.
He was well aware of the enormous differences between each level, like the chasm between level 80 and level 90. This gap was so large that it could hardly be bridged by sheer numbers.
The Sword Master said, "Just like the Beast King and the Giant Sword Insect, their strength has reached the eighth level of the Transcendent God realm. Without weapons, I would not be their match." The implication was that these weapons played a crucial role in humanity's victory.
This wasn't just one or two weapons, but an entire batch. "Besides the weapons, what are the pills you mentioned, senior?" Jiang Chen continued to press.
The Sword Master replied, "Pills are just as important as weapons; they can enhance our power. Before I took the pills, I was only at the fourth level of the Transcendent God realm. Even with a weapon, I could only exert the combat power of a seventh-level Transcendent God realm cultivator."
"After taking the pill, I reached the sixth level of the God Transformation Realm. Only with the right weapon can I unleash the combat power of the eighth level of the God Transformation Realm."
"It's not just me, there are many others, we all rely on pills to improve our strength."
Jiang Chen asked, "A pill that can so quickly increase strength must have its side effects, right?"
The Sword Master answered definitively, "That's true. The side effect is that you'll never be able to break through to the Transcendent God rank." "But does that matter? As long as we win this battle, nothing else matters. If we lose this battle, what future is there to speak of?"
The Sword Master chuckled, seemingly unconcerned and extremely carefree.
Jiang Chen sighed softly, "It's just as I thought."
Such a powerful elixir could not possibly come without a price. While enhancing one's strength, it also severed one's path to the future.
The sacrifice is too great.
Which strong person doesn't yearn to forge ahead and constantly climb new peaks?
But faced with the fate of humanity's homeland, Dao Zun and his companions resolutely abandoned their personal futures in exchange for immediate power.
As the Sword Master said, if we were to lose that battle, what would be the point of talking about the future?
Jiang Chen bowed respectfully to the Sword Master, saying, "On behalf of all my clansmen, I extend my deepest gratitude to all my seniors." This bow was not only to the Sword Master, but also to all the tombstones, and to all the people and gods who sacrificed themselves for this world.
The Sword Master smiled slightly, "Fortunately, we won. Back then, the enemy from beyond the heavens ambushed us, but luckily, there were also people secretly helping us."
Jiang Chen understood that the source of these weapons and elixirs must be extraordinary. Antares was resource-poor; even if dragon scales could be made into weapons, elixirs were certainly beyond its capabilities.
Therefore, such aid can only come from outside the world.
Based on this, it can be inferred that there are also people in the wider world helping them.
"It should be the human race from the Great World."
In the vast world, the human race is also an extremely powerful race, whose strength is no less than that of any other race.
Although the world was viewed as a chessboard, the human race still intervened.
The Sword Master smiled and asked, "Young man, tell me about the current situation of the human race. I have been asleep since that great battle, and I don't know how much time has passed."
Jiang Chen immediately reported the current situation of the human race to the Sword Master.
The human race has experienced a magnificent and turbulent history over the past thousand years, and the Sword Master's expression has changed many times.
As the narrative unfolds, the great battle comes to an end. The Beast King has finally been utterly defeated, and its corpse has been dismembered.
The giant blade worm also suffered a devastating blow, torn apart by its companions, leaving corpses strewn across the field.
Jiang Chen ignored this and continued his narration, instead casually flicking out a spark.
Sparks exploded, landing on the corpses of the Beast King and the Giant Blade Insect.
Two giant beasts that had just perished miraculously revived before the Sword Master.
The resurrected Beast King showed extreme awe towards Jiang Chen, kneeling on the ground, motionless. The Sword Master couldn't help but marvel at Jiang Chen's magic, which could revive the departed and make them completely obedient to him.
Fortunately, Jiang Chen is a member of the human race. If it were another race that resurrected him and made him obey their orders, he would have been in trouble.
Just imagining it made the Sword Master feel a chill deep in his soul.
Jiang Chen finally finished recounting the history of the human race, and the Sword Master sighed softly, "I never imagined that the human race would encounter so many hardships in the years to come."
"What's wrong with those foreign races? Why are they all eyeing our world so covetously and flocking here?"
"What is it about this world that makes it so attractive to them?"
Jiang Chen didn't say much; some things didn't need to be said explicitly.
The Sword Master suddenly burst into laughter, "But this is good too. At least our human race has survived to this day, and a talent like you has emerged in our race. I have a premonition that the future of the human race is bright."
"Senior, please rest assured, the future of the human race will be secure." Jiang Chen's words were firm and powerful.
The Sword Master laughed heartily; at this moment, he was finally at peace.
That protracted war has now truly come to an end.
He fought on and off life, and now it's truly time to end it.
