Chapter 560
The three Dao Fruits shone with a mysterious spiritual light. Gao Wu reached out and put away the three Dao Fruits of the Primordial God, the End, and the Order.
No matter how much they calculated, they could not defy the clear will of Heaven.
Gao Wu was very aware of this. He could easily unite the spirituality of billions of people because, firstly, everyone shared the same goal as him, and secondly, the Tai Chi sword intent was profound.
The most crucial factor was that he received the blessing of an era, an advantage that other god-kings did not possess.
Otherwise, given the wisdom and ability of numerous deities, achieving spiritual resonance with billions of intelligent beings would not be particularly difficult.
The biggest challenge lies in the era itself; this resonance can only be achieved through an era.
Although the gods possessed extraordinary wisdom, they had not truly integrated with the era, and therefore could not see this step.
In the end, they were defeated at this very step.
Seeing that the spiritual power of billions of warriors was still at its peak, Gao Wu took advantage of the situation and locked onto the Chaos God.
Chaos brought the Limitless Divine Armor back to the Divine Realm, thus revealing the location of the Divine Realm.
The Tai Chi sword intent pierced through the void and the divine realm, and with the support of billions of spiritual beings and the power of epochs, compressed the Chaos God into a single mass.
The Chaos God Lord is extremely special, nearly immortal. No matter how powerful Gao Wu's sword intent is, it will ultimately be difficult to completely kill him.
Fortunately, the sword intent was enough to temporarily extinguish the Chaos God's spirituality, so this mass of Chaos God was thrown to the Limitless Divine Armor.
It cannot kill Chaos, but it can completely devour the Chaos God through the power of origin.
From then on, all the gods who controlled the myriad realms were annihilated.
Gao Wu's gaze swept across the myriad realms, finding no further threat. With a thought, he severed his spiritual connection with everyone, allowing their spirits to return to their origin.
The battle in the cycle of time and space was originally expected to be extremely brutal, and Gao Wu had anticipated heavy casualties.
The sudden spiritual resonance reduced the casualty rate to three in ten thousand...
This number is low, but with over two billion as a base, three ten-thousandths would result in nearly a million casualties.
Fortunately, very few people actually died. As for the physical injuries, Gao Wu directly activated the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Curse, allowing all the injured to recover completely.
The spirits of everyone returned from the cycle of reincarnation to their original planet Earth, and everyone felt as if they had just woken from a long dream.
Shen Yue from Anjing suddenly sat up in bed. He looked at his hands blankly. There was no heavy armor, no heavy sword, and no flesh and blood of any demons or alien races.
But everything he had just experienced felt so real. Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he looked at the inside of his left arm, where there was a row of words arranged with source energy: Second Lieutenant Officer, 3rd Platoon, 17th Regiment, 22nd Brigade, 31st Army of the Dragon Division.
Battleship serial number: Chen 31221703980403.
Upon seeing this serial number, Shen Yue couldn't help but shed tears.
He couldn't explain why. It could be because of the demons, the fallen comrades, the unity of the people, or the overwhelming force of hundreds of millions of people who charged forward to destroy all demons and alien races.
At that moment, they were filled with passion and their souls were burning. The unity of the people and the courage to face anything were engraved deep in their hearts.
"Shen Yue?" The beautiful wife, holding her several-month-old daughter, stood at the bedroom door, looking at Shen Yue with some unease and worry in her eyes.
Gao Wu's voice resounded once again in the hearts of all mankind: "Brave warriors, we have defeated all the demons with our blood, courage, loyalty, and unity. We have won!"
"In commemoration of this victory, in commemoration of humanity's courage and passion in the face of all difficulties, and in commemoration of all the heroes who sacrificed their lives in this battle, I, in the name of the Supreme Council of the Alliance, hereby declare that from this day forward, September 2nd shall be Victory Day, a statutory holiday of the Alliance."
"The Alliance will build a victory monument to commemorate all that is worth remembering..."
Shen Yue paused for a moment before suddenly jumping up and shouting, "We won! We won!"
The beautiful wife looked at her husband, who was crying and shouting, and her worry deepened. She wondered what had happened to make Shen Yue so distraught, as if he had gone a little crazy...
Screams erupted from next door: "We won! We won!"
The Aurora Legion was in an uproar.
Song Xuetao looked out the office window into the distance. In early September, the plains were already desolate, covered with withered grass.
Further into the plains, faint traces of snow can already be seen.
But there were no demons or alien races outside the north gate of the Great Wall of Time and Space. The location of the battle just now was unknown.
Song Chunqiu rushed in: "Dad, where exactly were we fighting just now?"
Song Xuetao shook his head slightly. Gao Wu's level was too high. Even if the situation was explained to him, he still wouldn't know the specific details.
"My elder brother... died in battle." Song Chunqiu's voice lowered as he spoke of his elder brother Song Chunshan's death, his face filled with sorrow.
Song Chunshan was both the commander-in-chief of the First Army and the eldest son of Song Xuetao. He was highly respected within the Song family.
Even though Song Chunqiu didn't like his elder brother's dull and serious nature, and the two brothers rarely spoke, they were still blood brothers, and he still had deep feelings for his elder brother.
During the battle just now, Song Chunshan sensed through the mental network that his elder brother had been ambushed and killed by a powerful demon.
He still held onto a sliver of hope, and upon waking up, he immediately went to the office to check on Song Chunshan, only to find him sitting in a chair, lifeless.
"To die on the battlefield, Chunshan is a fine son of the Song family." Song Xuetao said this, but his tone inevitably carried a hint of desolation and sadness.
He knew very well that although Gao Wu possessed almost limitless supernatural powers, he could not bring the dead back to life.
However, war always results in death, and for a soldier, dying on the battlefield is the highest honor.
Meanwhile, throughout the Alliance, and even across Earth, countless people cheered, shouted, cried, and laughed, celebrating the victory they had fought for with their lives...
The battle on Victory Day had a profound and enormous impact on the Alliance and even on Earth.
The next day, Gao Wu returned to the alliance and personally took charge of the compensation work for the fallen soldiers.
All participants were given substantial rewards. Those who made outstanding contributions were publicly awarded the Victory Medal at a grand assembly.
Gao Wu slew all the gods and obtained a vast amount of resources from all the heavens and myriad realms. These resources enabled him to provide the most generous treatment to all the participants in the war.
Time passed day by day, and before we knew it, it was the morning of January 1st, 122 AD.
It's the coldest time of year in Ankyoreh, but thousands of people have gathered in front of the 360-meter-high Victory Monument on the banks of the Baekyong River.
In front of the magnificent and solemn monument, offerings such as flowers, cigarettes, alcohol, and fruit were piled up.
Many people bowed and prayed in front of the monument, while others stood silently in solemn silence.
A middle-aged man walked up with his teenage daughter and asked her to arrange the flowers.
The middle-aged man pointed to the magnificent monument and asked, "Do you know what this monument is made of?"
The girl wearing a cute bunny ear hat nodded vigorously: "I know, it's made of the world's hardest black steel alloy, so even a nuclear bomb can't destroy it."
The middle-aged man nodded, then asked, "Do you know what the inscription says?"
The monument is right in front of you, but because it is so tall and imposing, most people cannot see the full text of the inscription.
"I know."
The girl proudly raised her head and recited: "On September 2nd, 191st year of the new era, billions of heroes defended the Great Wall of Time and Space, and their achievements will live on forever."
"The heroes who bravely resisted the alien demons over the past century will live on forever."
"Going back five thousand years, all the heroes who defended the freedom and peace of the Chinese nation will live on forever."
"Eternal glory to all the heroes who sacrificed themselves for the freedom and peace of the Chinese nation throughout the past five thousand years..."
The girl's voice wasn't loud to begin with, but after she recited two sentences, the people around her spontaneously started reciting along.
In the end, the thousands of voices rang out in unison, their sound resounding through the heavens, and many who had fought for Victory Day couldn't help but shed tears.
Standing at the back of the crowd, the girl Yan Ningning's eyes were also red with emotion. She whispered to Song Mingyue, "Master's inscription is so beautiful..."
Gao Wu patted Yan Ningning's head and said to Song Mingyue and Yan Ningning, "As long as we Chinese have this spirit, we can keep moving forward!"
"One day, we will conquer the endless sea of stars, all intelligent life will abide by Chinese etiquette, everyone will be able to do what they want, and everyone will be able to achieve something..."
Yan Ningning listened with longing, forgetting all about crying, only thinking about what such a world would be like, and how wonderful it would be.
The era is coming to an end, but for Earth, there are still billions of years to go.
Gao Wu believed that he would surely lead Chinese civilization forward, breaking through all obstacles and the limitations of the cycle of time, to reach even higher places...
