The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

"puff!"

His body couldn't withstand the power of this eternal darkness...

A bitter smile played on Jiang Chuan's lips, blood trickling from his mouth, but the determination in his eyes remained unwavering.

"Hmph, overestimating yourself!"

The ancient demon god's sarcasm was like a cold wind passing by; it was full of confidence, believing that the outcome was already decided.

At this critical juncture of life and death.

Suddenly, the spiritual energy within him, which had been depleted, began to ripple.

That was the roar of the stars' power, defying their will to submit, the strongest resistance against fate.

Jiang Chuan did not reply, but felt a warm current surging in his chest.

That was the power of the stars erupting in despair, like the Milky Way pouring down, surging from every inch of his body's meridians.

Beneath his skin, faint star patterns shimmered, a power awakening from the depths of his soul.

"Did you see that, Ancient Demon God!"

"My power originates from the boundless stars; how could you, a creature of darkness, possibly comprehend it?"

Jiang Chuan's voice became deep and powerful due to the surge of spiritual energy.

He suddenly looked up, his eyes sparkling like a galaxy, as if two miniature universes were spinning.

At that moment, a dazzling ray of light exploded from Jiang Chuan's body.

He seemed to be enveloped in a thin layer of starlight.

The power of the stars surged through the cracks like a stampede of horses, flowing into his nearly depleted body and giving him a new lease on life in an instant.

"This... how is this possible!" The ancient demon god showed an incredulous expression, its cold eyes flashing with shock.

Jiang Chuan smiled slightly, a smile that contained so much: the relief after enduring hardships, and the pride in challenging a formidable foe.

"Nothing is impossible. As long as there is light in your heart, darkness will eventually be driven away!"

"May the stars protect me and crown me!"

Jiang Chuan shouted in a low voice, and he brandished the Dragon Roar Sword, its tip pointing towards the sky!

Suddenly, it seemed as if a silver river was pouring down from the sky, merging into his already radiant body.

At this moment, his momentum reached an unprecedented height.

The ancient demon god's cold smile froze on its face. It suddenly felt a pressure from an ancient star, a power that even it could not underestimate.

"We're not finished yet; the battle has only just begun!"

Jiang Chuan's figure streaked across the night sky like a meteor, carrying an aura of world destruction, and charged towards the ancient demon god once again.

"Alright! Let's see who has the last laugh!"

The ancient demon god's roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth. It no longer held back, its demonic energy rising and transforming into a pitch-black cloud.

Lightning and demonic energy intertwined, stars and darkness collided, and the entire battlefield was filled with light and shadow!

boom!
Boom boom boom!
The two forces intertwined magnificently in the air, and finally, Jiang Chuan's figure froze in mid-air.

The burst of stellar power gave him a chance to catch his breath, but it also nearly exhausted all his strength.

Amidst the swirling black mist, the ancient demon god's figure grew increasingly ferocious, a cruel smile flickering in his cold eyes, as if he had already seen the dawn of victory.

"Little human, even the power of the stars cannot save you from today's defeat!"

The ancient demon god's deep voice echoed, each word like a heavy hammer blow to the heart, suffocating the senses.

Jiang Chuan struggled to stand firm, the Dragon Roar Sword embedded in the ground, supporting his swaying body.

Blood trickled down his lips, but the light in his eyes remained undiminished—a yearning for life and an unwavering determination to win.

Jiang Chuan was breathing rapidly, and the scene before him was slightly blurred due to exhaustion.

But his will was as firm as the stars.

He knew that this battle was either win or die; there was no third way.

"Do you think you can defeat me with just these?" Jiang Chuan's voice was weak, but it revealed an undeniable tenacity and pride.

The ancient demon god's laughter was cold and arrogant.

“Ignorant humans, let me show you what true despair is!”

"The Abyss Cage—Appear!"

As the ancient demon god's incantation fell, the surrounding space seemed to be distorted by an invisible force, rapidly weaving into a huge black cage that tightly locked Jiang Chuan inside.

Each iron bar formed from dark energy exudes an aura powerful enough to suffocate living beings.

"Struggle, wail, until your soul is completely devoured!"

The ancient demon god declared triumphantly, seemingly having foreseen the outcome of victory. It did not believe that Jiang Chuan could launch a counterattack under such an offensive!
"I...I won't lose."

"I will never give in!!"

Jiang Chuan let out a low growl.

The remaining stellar power within the body seemed to sense its master's determination and began to stir restlessly in that confined space.

"The stars...guide me..."

Jiang Chuan murmured to himself, gripping the Dragon Roar Sword tightly with both hands, and the starlight on the sword shone brightly once more.

Although not as magnificent as before, it stood out brightly in the dimly lit cage.

"With my flesh and blood, I will become a bridge between stars!"

As Jiang Chuan finished speaking, the faint star patterns on his body suddenly lit up.

It was as if the power of countless stars was gathering from the distant ends of the universe through these images and texts and flowing into his body.

Even within this black hole, a crack was faintly torn open!
Its stellar power is slowly flowing from the starry sky into Jiang Chuan's body!
"boom!"

There was a loud bang.

The dark energy within the cage began to tremble, and cracks gradually appeared.

That was the ultimate counterattack of light against darkness.

Jiang Chuan's figure slowly rose under the starlight.

At this moment, Jiang Chuan's power reached an unprecedented peak!
"Witness the glory of the stars."

Jiang Chuan raised the Dragon Roar Sword high, its tip pointing straight to the sky. The starlight on the sword transformed into a dazzling beam of light, which pierced straight through the constraints of the Abyss Prison and soared into the clouds!

"This……"

"how……"

"How can it be!"

Even the ancient demon god's unmoving body was trembling slightly, and its invincible aura instantly weakened as it stared in disbelief at everything before it.

How could such a tiny human being possibly unleash such energy!
Unheard of!

Having lived for a thousand years, I have never seen such a monstrous person.

Who exactly is he?
I have already used so many deadly moves.

It's truly unbelievable that he managed to escape so many dangerous situations.

But the next second!
Jiang Chuan's body trembled violently in the dazzling starlight.

The ancient demon god narrowed his eyes slightly...

Ah!
Has such powerful energy disappeared?

It seems your energy can't be sustained for very long.

The ancient demon god pointed his giant hand at Jiang Chuan. At this moment, the demonic power within the black hole was like countless black venomous snakes, precisely targeting the vital points in his chest!
Attempting to deliver a fatal blow!
"Ha, your energy stops here!"

"Let's see how you dare to be so insolent in front of me!"

The ancient demon god's roar was filled with an invincible arrogance!

Yes!

That arrogant spirit is back!
The demonic power surged like a tidal wave, rushing straight towards the river, seemingly trying to drown all his resistance in this torrent!

Faced with the approaching deathly silence, Jiang Chuan's eyes showed no panic, but rather a resolute and open-mindedness. He took a deep breath, and the power of the stars surged wildly within his body.

It was as if it wanted to burn every cell in his body, forging him into an invincible sword.

"The power of the stars grants me protection!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly took a step forward!
The Dragon Roar Sword drew a dazzling arc in mid-air, meeting the destructive demonic power head-on!
The silver sword light and the pitch-black demonic power collided fiercely in the air.

A blinding light erupted, and the space itself rippled under the impact of this force.

"Click——"

With a faint but clear cracking sound!
The demonic power that should have been able to penetrate everything cracked the moment it came into contact with the Dragon Roar Sword.

The ancient demon god's pupils constricted as he stared at the scene in disbelief.

It never imagined that a human could display such power to reverse the tide in such a desperate situation.

"impossible!"

"How could a mere mortal body possibly withstand the true power of the stars?!"

The ancient demon god's low roar was filled with astonishment and resentment.

Jiang Chuan gritted his teeth, sweat dripping down his forehead. Every bit of strength he exerted made him feel as if his body was being torn apart.

The next second, Jiang Chuan suddenly sensed something was wrong!
The power of the stars is rapidly dissipating!
Is my body still unable to withstand it?

The dazzling light slowly faded, and the ancient demon god was shocked once again. This kid is full of tricks, could this be another one?

But Jiang Chuan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, like a bright red flower.

Blood blossoms bloomed in mid-air, staining the surrounding swaying starlight red, appearing both tragic and resolute.

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the ancient demon god, then a cold smile appeared on his lips, thinking that Jiang Chuan was finally exhausted and about to perish.

"Hmph, in the end, they are just mortals, daring to try to control the stars. They are only courting their own destruction!"

Its voice was full of sarcasm; victory was already assured at this moment.

"Ah……"

"So it still won't work in the end?"

Jiang Chuan tried to lift the Dragon's Roar Sword again, but found that with his current strength, he couldn't even lift it.

Self-deprecating, utterly self-deprecating.

I was so close to defeating the ancient demon god!

Ultimately, it was because the gap in their abilities was too large!
If I could have become just a little stronger! Even just a little stronger, maybe things wouldn't have ended up like this!
Jiang Chuan smiled bitterly and slowly closed his eyes.

He let the demonic power within the black hole flow through his body, eroding his flesh!
The spiritual energy in his body was also constantly being lost, and in less than an hour, he would probably exhaust all the spiritual energy in his body.

That future self.

Has it not appeared yet?

Did he also sense his own incompetence and become unwilling to show himself and save him?
Too……

Clearly, victory was almost within reach!

Accept your fate.

What hope for all mankind? Hasn't it all fallen here in the end?
Jiang Chuan was filled with emotion, realizing that he had only lived to be around twenty years old.

I don't think I have a girl I particularly like yet, and I've never seriously held anyone's hand.

In fact, he's still a virgin!
Having lived for over twenty years, I've always felt like an alien from the very beginning.

Others can awaken their awesome past lives, but you only awakened the seemingly invincible future Jiang Chuan!

Ugh!
Perhaps, if I die, Jiang Chuan will die in the future?

He may have lived a long time and seen through the illusions of life, as well as his own weaknesses.

As the life force gradually faded, the massive body of the ancient demon god looked down upon Jiang Chuan from mid-air.

"Humanity, in the end, still couldn't defeat me?"

"That makes sense, how can you, a mere mortal, compare to the gods?"

"I am a god!"

The ancient demon god believed that he had lived for thousands of years and had already become a god. Although he was called the ancient demon god, his strength was more than enough to become a god.
However, at this final moment, a look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the ancient demon god.

It gazed at the river before it.

The strength of the humans before him truly surprised him!
It's been a long time since I've encountered a human cultivator with such strong potential, hasn't it?
There was a time when all the opponents I encountered were at the Heavenly Rank.

It seems that he is only at the Great Perfection of the Profound Rank, yet he can already go toe-to-toe with me.

If he were to cultivate to the Heavenly Rank, I'm afraid the Demon Realm...

Even the celestial realm is no match for him.

With this thought in mind, the ancient demon god no longer hesitated. A dense, ink-like demonic aura surged around him, as deep as a black hole, gathering the essence of the demon realm over millions of years. Suddenly, it erupted with earth-shattering energy, striking Jiang Chuan's heart directly.

Puff puff!
With a suppressed cracking sound, the demonic power, like a sharp blade, easily pierced through Jiang Chuan's protective spiritual energy and went straight for his heart.

At that moment, Jiang Chuan's expression froze.

Pain and resentment were etched on his face as his body was pierced by demonic power.

Like a frozen sculpture of time, surrounded by an ever-present eerie aura, it appears both tragic and bizarre.

"Your fall is an inevitable part of history. We cannot leave behind any potential threats to our people."

The ancient demon god's voice came coldly from the heavens, carrying an unquestionable resolve.

Now that Jiang Chuan has been defeated, his next plan is clear.

Reopen the gateway to the demon realm, lead a million-strong demon army back to the human world, end the centuries of silence, and once again savor the sweetness of human blood.

After all, the demon race hadn't tasted human blood for hundreds of years.

Once upon a time, humans were the greatest source of nourishment for demons!

If it weren't for that war...

Ah.

In contrast, Jiang Chuan's face aged rapidly after being corrupted by demonic power, his wrinkles becoming as fine as paper.

The ancient demon god sensed something amiss.

Why can you still feel a faint heartbeat in someone who is clearly dead?
Even an existence like the ancient demon god couldn't help but be astonished by this scene.

"What exactly is this..."

A ripple of emotion stirred within him, a desire to investigate more closely, yet he seemed to be blocked by some force, his vision blurred, everything becoming elusive and impossible to discern…

"Still too weak..."

An ancient and profound voice came from Jiang Chuan's mouth...

The ancient demon god didn't even see Jiang Chuan open his mouth!
What exactly is going on!

So weird!

The ancient demon god could only see that the life force within Jiang Chuan's body was beyond his comprehension.

Is it...

Is there another mysterious power within him?
How many secrets does humanity actually hide?

"Who are you!"

But soon, the ancient demon god noticed something amiss: this voice and even its aura were completely unlike the human from before!

Does he actually have two personalities hidden within him?
The ancient demon god frowned, but it dared not draw any conclusions yet.

Jiang Chuan swayed slightly.

"It's been too long since I've been out..."

"Your body is still too weak."

Jiang Chuan slowly stood up, as if his attack had had no effect at all!
"what!"

"He's alive?" (End of Chapter)
