"Dragon Battle Army? Is it the frontier-expanding Dragon Battle Army!?"

"Holy crap, Old Liu is actually part of the Dragon Battle Army?"

"Wow, our commander is a hero of the Dragon Battle Army!?"

All the Canglan Army soldiers around exclaimed in amazement, looking at those kneeling figures with eyes full of admiration, fervor, and endless reverence!

The commanders exchanged glances and leaped towards the main tent, but didn’t leap past the soldiers kneeling on one knee, just stood behind the old soldiers, watching them with deep respect.

Inside the main tent.

Jiang Chen was dumbfounded, Hu Yiqiu and several others were dumbfounded, all the vice-commanders were dumbfounded, staring blankly at the laughing Zhao Buzu.

Upon hearing the shouts outside, Zhao Buzu stopped laughing and got up to walk outside the main tent.

"Master... Grandmaster, Black Robe Teacher he..."

Jiang Chen was about to ask Hu Yiqiu, but seeing Hu Yiqiu’s equally stunned expression, he turned his gaze towards Zhu Tianming.

Zhu Tianming glanced at Jiang Chen, smiled slightly, and raised his hand to point at the first position to his right: "Ten thousand years ago, I sat there!"

Ten thousand years ago?!

How many years has the Canglan Continent been stable? Wars last hundreds of thousands to even millions of years, by this time only old relics would know, and the whole continent, the entire Void Nether realm has been stable for only ten thousand years!

"Grandmaster, you..."

Jiang Chen’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Zhu Tianming.

All the vice-commanders suddenly realized something, their expressions changed drastically, staring at Zhu Tianming in disbelief.

Lin, the vice-commander lying on the ground, turned extremely pale at once, fear flashing in his eyes.

Crash!

The door of the main tent was pushed open, Zhao Buzu returned inside, followed by three old men.

"Give up your seats!"

Si Wenkang rose and shouted at the vice-commanders on the right.

The vice-commanders shuddered, quickly got up, and vacated their seats.

Zhao Buzu didn’t hesitate, directly coming to sit next to Si Wenkang at the main position.

Zhu Tianming got up and sat on the first chair to the right, while the other three old men sat behind him.

The vice-commanders looked both excited and nervous as they glanced at Zhu Tianming and the others, then turned to Zhao Buzu, eyes full of genuine reverence.

"All still alive?"

Zhu Tianming glanced at the three old men, chuckling as he spoke.

"As long as you, Old Zhu, are alive, how dare we die!"

"Exactly, if we died before you, wouldn’t you dig up our graves!"

"That’s right, hurry up and die, we’re waiting to dig your grave!"

The three old men retorted at Zhu Tianming, but their eyes were full of reminiscence and brotherhood!

"Greetings, Commander Zhao!"

Si Wenkang suddenly bowed with fists clasped towards Zhao Buzu.

"Greetings, Commander Zhao!"

Five vice-commanders kneeled on one knee, respectfully saluting!

"Enough!"

Zhao Buzu waved his hand, turning to look at Jiang Chen, about to boast, when suddenly froze.

Everyone noticed Zhao Buzu’s oddity, all turned towards Jiang Chen, their expressions changed.

Right then, Jiang Chen’s eyes held no one else, only Zhu Tianming and the other three bantering together, his eyes moistening.

In his vision weren’t Zhu Tianming and the other three, but Dragon Tianze, the Supreme Emperor, Li Jiang, You Xuan, Yue Tianzheng, Lan Tingxu, and others.

Pioneering heroes!

He heard Li Tianfang’s shouting outside, knowing these people were the seniors who resisted the Extraterritorial Alien Race and drove them out of the Void Nether realm.

Seeing them made Jiang Chen think of the others who died on Yuan Star, those elders who fought alongside him against invasion, very few are left alive!

"I’m sorry! I’m sorry! It’s my fault! I’m sorry!"

Suddenly, Jiang Chen burst into tears, roaring loudly, "Elder Yue, I’m sorry! Senior Supreme Emperor, I’m sorry! Elder Li, I’m sorry! Elder Lan, I’m sorry! The Wei Family elders, I’m sorry! All you seniors, I’m sorry! I failed you, I failed you all!"

Thud!

Jiang Chen fell to his knees, wailing in agony!

He has been holding it in for so long! Suffering for so long!

During the battle against Lu Daming’s Primordial Spirit on Yuan Star, he already knew, knew the top-tier strongmen of Yuan Star had been almost entirely wiped out, but at that time he couldn’t grieve.

He held back, for there were still formidable enemies not yet slain. After slaying Lu Daming, he came to the Void Nether realm, just arrived in a new world, he dared not reveal his fragility, he held back.

Growing slowly, becoming stronger, every time he thought of Yuan Star, each time he thought of those deceased elders, his heart ached like being stabbed with needles.

He was incredibly pained, deeply guilty, with profound self-blame tormenting him within.

But today, seeing Elder Zhu and the others, especially knowing they’re pioneering heroes, knowing they were the batch of elders who resisted invasion back then, he once again thought of the elders on Yuan Star.

He couldn’t hold back, he really couldn’t hold back!

"What’s going on?"

The God of War and others bewilderedly looked at Jiang Chen, except for Hu Yiqiu and Si Wenkang, everyone else was utterly perplexed, even Yun Tao, who knew Jiang Chen’s past, couldn’t fathom that feeling.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Suddenly, Jiang Chen’s body emitted waves of Great Dao Fluctuations, Great Dao Aura was spilling out, Primordial Spirit Aura was spilling out, Spiritual Power was spilling out as well!

"This is... armament dissolution!? What’s happening? How could there be armament dissolution in the Divine Infant Realm!?"

The God of War was astonished, calling out incredulously.

"His Dao Heart’s collapsing! What’s happening? How could his Dao Heart collapse?!"

The Slaughter King furrowed his brow tightly.

"Young Jiang!"

Hu Yiqiu’s expression drastically changed, hurriedly stepping forward to embrace Jiang Chen.

Buzz!

Si Wenkang’s expression changed, his aura exploded, enveloping the main tent.

"I’m sorry! I’m sorry!"

Jiang Chen’s gaze was now blurred, murmuring under his breath, full of guilt on his face.

In Yuan Star’s final battle, the apex combat power had almost all perished, Jiang Chen saw this as his own fault, constantly suffering, feeling guilty, and now, it erupted entirely!

"Young Jiang, clear your mind!"

Hu Yiqiu roared aloud: "The deaths of Yuan Star’s powerful were not your fault, you commanded Yuan Star’s warriors to defeat the invading enemy, protecting countless civilians, this is a great merit!

You are a hero!

You are the hero of the entire Yuan Star, the powerful of Yuan Star died heroically, they died with ease, with contentment, their deaths led to Yuan Star’s peace and prosperity."

Hu Yiqiu took a deep breath, loudly continuing:

"You are Yuan Star’s commander, you are the greatest hero!

You are not wrong, the wrong ones are those damned invaders of Yuan Star, not you! It’s not your fault!

You are weak, your realm isn’t high, but you held up a sky, you held up the sky of Yuan Star.

So you cannot fall, if you fall, the sky of Yuan Star breaks!

Wake up!"
