The Truth of High Antiquity
This must be from High Antiquity times.
Sang Ying observed for a long time before reaching this conclusion.
The young man in front of her was wearing armor of an unknown material, which looked more sturdy and valuable than any armor Sang Ying had ever seen before.
The sword in the young man's hand was deep black, as if some special power was wrapped around it.
As soon as Sang Ying appeared, the young man turned to her and said, "Little girl, now that you're on the battlefield, even a woman must fight bravely!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Sang Ying was covered in armor and a sword appeared in her hand.
War is imminent, and the enemy standing opposite them is a group of strange-looking Beastmen!
This was the first time Sang Ying had ever seen Beastmen, and the first time Beastmen power head-on. Their bodies were half human and half beast, they were incredibly strong, and extremely agile.
Even though the Ancient God Race wore armor and wielded sharp weapons, they could barely hold their own against these Beastmen.
Although Sang Ying was also a member of the battlefield, she was actually just a mortal, not even a celestial being. Her physique was only slightly better than that of an ordinary Human Immortal.
So when she first faced these Beastmen, she was mostly overwhelmed. If it weren't for the fact that there were fewer Beastmen and more God Race, and that God Race warriors would occasionally lend her a hand, Sang Ying knew very well that with her abilities, she would probably be dead by now.
The young man who was leading the group seemed to be taking special care of Sang Ying, keeping her close by his side and watching over her. But even with the protection of this powerful God Race, Sang Ying's arm was still severed three or four times in the short few days of battle.
Fortunately, the God Race may not have many other things, but they have plenty of treasures.
There are plenty of miraculous medicines that can regrow an arm, which gives Sang Ying the opportunity to continue fighting on the battlefield.
Sang Ying had actually forgotten her origins; she only knew that she had come here for someone, or rather, for something.
But when she thought about it carefully, she couldn't figure it out.
Left with no other choice, Sang Ying could only obediently follow the young man, constantly fighting and conquering.
She wanted to ask the young man's name many times, but she was always interrupted at the crucial moment. Over time, Sang Ying became too lazy to ask.
The young man was not a war-loving warrior. Sometimes he would take Sang Ying to climb to higher places to see different views. He told Sang Ying, "My greatest wish in this life is to bring peace to the God Race and end this war."
"Then why do the Beastmen want to fight us?" This was what Sang Ying couldn't understand the most.
The young man told her, "To survive, for profit."
The God Race and Beastmen are natural enemies, and their long-standing feud is unlikely to ever be resolved. After learning this, Sang Ying stopped asking these questions.
Sang Ying spent many years on the battlefield. She grew from a girl who couldn't even defeat a weak Beastmen to a powerful warrior who could take down a hundred Beastmen with a single sword strike. It took her hundreds of years to achieve this.
Over these centuries, the young have gradually become middle-aged.
He grew a beard, and his body showed signs of age.
But the Beastmen seemed endless, and the battle appeared to have no end...
Outside the illusion, the mirror spirit watched as Sang Ying's Spiritual Qi and vitality slowly dwindled, jumping around happily in the Heart Devil Mirror.
"Sang Ying, Sang Ying, wake up! If you don't wake up, you'll really die!" The Mirror Spirit dared not let Sang Ying stay in the illusion any longer; this illusion was simply a murderous illusion!
"Wake up! This illusion will drain all your energy!"
But Sang Ying couldn't hear a word the Mirror Spirit said; at this moment, she was experiencing the most difficult battle in the illusion.
The Beastman Race had a king at some unknown time. His beast form was the largest creature Sang Ying had ever seen in her life, even surpassing one-tenth the size of the sea beasts.
The birth of the Beastmen King almost immediately reversed the course of the battle. The God Race had initially gained the upper hand, but after the appearance of this giant Beastmen, they began to dominate the God Race.
With a single stomp, countless lives were instantly extinguished.
The God Race all looked at the man who had turned into a middle-aged man; the black sword in his hand made Sang Ying feel at ease, just as it had always been.
"Let's part ways with the Beastmen, divide this world in two, and from now on, we'll never see Beastmen again." That was the man's answer.
Immediately afterwards, Sang Ying was ordered to be taken away by the man, and the other God Race also retreated behind him at the first opportunity.
The Beastmen and the Beastmen king faced off at a great distance, their auras evenly matched, both displaying the power of the High Antiquity races.
Sang Ying watched the scene intently, her eyes never leaving it. The man raised his sword and flew into the air, unleashing a powerful strike.
The earth rumbled, and a massive crack spread out between the Beastman Race and the God Race.
The Beastmen King also let out a roar, and his body instantly transformed into light and shadow, forming a transparent barrier on the other side of the crack.
Having done all this, the Beastmen king collapsed. And the man, finally exhausted, fell into the crevice along with his sword.
Before the man's figure completely disappeared, Sang Ying couldn't help but ask, "Who is he?"
"Xi, that is the God Emperor Xi!" a voice told her.
Xi fell into the crevice, and another barrier imbued with Divine Power enveloped their world. The Beastman Race, who were also wailing on the other side, disappeared from sight as the barrier rose.
From then on, the God Race no longer saw the Beastman Race, and the Beastman Race had no further connection with the God Race.
It turns out that Haohe and the others had also been deceived.
It was neither the fall of God nor the corpse falling into the Gods and Devils Ravine after death.
Instead, it was the God Emperor Xi who, from the very beginning, integrated his body into this world.
Sang Ying opened her eyes, and her Spiritual Power returned instantly.
The Mirror Spirit looked at Sang Ying in surprise, keenly noticing that Sang Ying seemed to have undergone some subtle changes at this moment.
"How are you now?" the Mirror Spirit asked cautiously.
Sang Ying answered truthfully, "I feel fine now."
She sorted through the images she had seen in the illusion and checked her injuries.
Strangely, the scars on Sang Ying's body caused by the lava had miraculously healed. Only her tattered robes made her believe that she had indeed emerged from the lava in the first place.
Sang Ying clenched her fist, feeling her whole body filled with Spiritual Power.
She looked inward at her Dantian and unconsciously exclaimed, "Eh!"
The Mirror Spirit quickly asked her with concern, "What's wrong? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" This was the only person who could take it away from the Gods and Devils Ravine; it couldn't afford for anything to happen to it here!
Sang Ying didn't notice the mirror spirit's panic, instead revealing a strange smile, "It's nothing, it seems this illusion has given me a good reward."
"It seems I've already reached the Soul Leaving Stage."
The Mirror Spirit... The Mirror Spirit's eyes widened.
