With the might of Ancestor Haotian's Mirror, a sweep of divine light left nowhere to hide, not even the most secret places. So An Jing saw them: more than several million—perhaps even tens of millions—Yankui Battle Armor bodies comparable to the Fengdu Guard, silently stored in the core storage zones of the four great cities. One by one, their observation lenses were lighting up. They were reviving, coming back to life, looking around in confusion, unsure of what had happened.
Then the orders came.
[Exterminate Demon] [Exterminate Demon] [Exterminate Demon] [Exterminate Demon] [Exterminate Demon] [Exterminate Demon]...
Countless thoughts resonated. Countless souls were branded. The souls of the dead had not lost their vitality. Even those who had died in the Wilderness had their souls reclaimed and placed into Yankui bodies in the shortest time possible.
They had self-awareness, but they also had commands engraved in their souls—commands that overrode their self-awareness.
[Exterminate Demon]!
The gates opened.
As tens of thousands upon tens of thousands of humans died,
tens of thousands upon tens of thousands of Yankui battle bodies walked out through the doors of long-sealed storehouses!
"The Ascension Path for everyone! No wonder they don't care who lives or dies, who's cannon fodder and who isn't. It's because everyone's on the Ascension Path!"
Seeing this, even An Jing understood why Ancestor Haotian had been astonished. This was exactly what the Mingjing Sect was preparing to do next. One could even say the four Old Ancestors had all come to the Tianyuan Realm to obtain its technology and give every casualty of the Battle of Mingjing Nirvana a Yankui body that could bring them back to life!
Who would have thought the Tianyuan Realm was planning the same thing... No, they had been plotting it
