Supreme Warrior in the City

The others also clasped their hands in thanks, and Su Yang quickly responded with a cupped fist: ”Seniors, you are too courteous. It is truly admirable that you fight for and sacrifice for the Human Clan. The trivial things I do are not worth mentioning!”

After exchanging pleasantries, Jiang Zi’er and the others arrived as well. After greeting everyone, Su Yang entered the World Melting Furnace first. On the way, Jiang Zi’er roughly introduced the current situation inside the World Melting Furnace to Su Yang.

As Su Yang expected, after the reincarnation was reshaped, the strong warriors from the primordial ancient times were mostly drawn back.

Now, these strong Human Clan warriors are all cultivating within the World Melting Furnace. The powerful auras Su Yang sensed before were from these warriors.

This time, the matter of reshaping reincarnation and bringing these Human Clan warriors back went relatively smoothly.

Although those Guardian Gods found the Nine Realms, Little Huang’s swallowing of the moon made it impossible for them to find the Nine Realms. Although it was only three hundred years, these three hundred years were enough for these Human Clan warriors to return.

Afterward, the Nine Realms were exposed again, but by then, the strong ones among the Guardian Gods had already entered the chaos to search for Su Yang. Even the Divine Servant, now the leader of the Guardian Gods, was engaged in a fierce battle with the Emperor Slave and had no time to pay attention to the matters of the Nine Realms here.

The remaining Guardian Gods outside the Nine Realms were actually quite ordinary in strength. First, there was no strong one to attack the World Melting Furnace strongly, and second, there was no leader. Therefore, although the Nine Realms are still surrounded by these Guardian Gods, in fact, during this time, these Guardian Gods have only occupied the Nine Realms without having any slight conflict with the Human Clan in the World Melting Furnace.

Overall, this time Su Yang going into chaos to find the Earth Principle has diverted the attention of the Guardian Gods mostly into the chaos. Because all the strong ones among the Guardian Gods went into chaos, it gave the World Melting Furnace a chance to breathe.

Otherwise, even if all the primordial ancient Human Clan warriors returned, the situation for the Human Clan would be very troublesome.

”So does this mean that all the strong warriors from the primordial ancient times have fully returned?” Su Yang was also excited.

”Not at all!” Jiang Zi’er shook her head: ”My master took a look and told me that only ninety percent have returned this time!”

”Ninety percent?” Su Yang was surprised: ”Why only ninety percent? Is there something wrong with the reincarnation?”

”There’s nothing wrong with the reincarnation, but everyone has their own unique circumstances.” Jiang Zi’er said: ”For example, my master had long since condensed his Divine Soul and does not need reincarnation to guide him back. Similarly, other strong ones like the master of the Feather Spirit Palace and the Heaven Slayer are in such situations. However, there are others, such as the Ancient Female Sword Saint, who have already perished completely, without even a trace of Spiritual Sense left, which is also impossible to guide back.”

Su Yang frowned slightly. He knew the situation of the Female Sword Saint; she had completely perished in the ancient times, and everything she left behind was originally in that valley. Later, Ye Wantong entered that valley and became the heir of the Female Sword Saint, obtaining her entire legacy.

And after the Female Sword Saint passed on her legacy to Ye Wantong, she herself truly perished, ceasing to exist entirely, without even an opportunity for reincarnation and rebirth.

”How many are there like this?” Su Yang asked.

”About a hundred,” Jiang Zi’er replied.

Su Yang could not help but sigh. These hundred or so were once heaven-defying level warriors, the most dazzling existence of an era. Yet, they ended up in such a perished state, which truly makes one lament.

”What about the Three Great Ancients?” Su Yang asked: ”Let’s not mention the Buddha Venerable, what about the Human Emperor and the Taoist Venerable?”

Su Yang had seen the Buddha Venerable on the Ancient Battlefield, so he presumably had not returned. However, he did not know whether the Human Emperor and the Taoist Venerable had returned.

”They haven’t returned!” Jiang Zi’er shook her head and said softly, ”According to what my master said, those strongest warriors may not return through reincarnation!”

”Oh?” Su Yang couldn’t help being surprised: ”Do they have other ways to return?”

”Reincarnation is created by these strongest warriors, and they have already comprehended all the truths of the heavens and all things. At the same time, they are the proponents behind reincarnation, the planners and also the protectors of the Human Clan. They certainly cannot wait for the reincarnation to reshape before returning. If so, no one knows what variables might occur; it would be too risky,” Jiang Zi’er explained, ”So they surely have other ways to return. Take, for instance, my master, the Feather Spirit Palace Master, and the Heaven Slayer; their methods of return are all different, but they definitely won’t be through reincarnation.”

”I see!” Su Yang breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that these people can still return, so there is nothing to worry about.

”However, there is a problem now…” Jiang Zi’er said softly.

”What problem?” Su Yang asked curiously.

Jiang Zi’er sighed and said softly, ”The returning warriors are not particularly united.”

”What do you mean?” Su Yang was surprised. Given the current situation, could it be that these warriors have ulterior motives?

”Their attitude towards the Guardian Gods is very united. But the problem is...” Jiang Zi’er hesitated for a moment, then said softly, ”These people are all outstanding warriors from the primordial ancient times. Although they are united in dealing with the Guardian Gods, they are not so harmonious with each other!”

”Do they have conflicts between them?” Su Yang frowned. If that’s the case, wouldn’t there be internal strife?

”There are some conflicts, but the most crucial issue is that the strongest warriors from the primordial and ancient times have not returned, leaving these people without a leader. And peculiarly enough, none of them are convinced by others. No one is willing to listen to others’ orders; they all do things their own way,” Jiang Zi’er sighed. ”This situation has led to some friction and conflict within the World Melting Furnace, even opposition and fighting. In the years you’ve been away from the World Melting Furnace, several major battles have already erupted. These Heavenly Warriors have even formed factions, divided into several groups, not convinced by each other, and hostile towards one another. Honestly, in recent years, the situation inside the World Melting Furnace has not been as good as before; it has become even more chaotic!”

Su Yang’s expression changed; he hadn’t expected such a situation to occur. Despite this turbulent environment, internal strife still happened among the Heavenly Warriors. It seems that the old saying is true: wherever there are people, there are disputes!
