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

At the summit of Mount Hua, all was silent.

Only a gentle breeze rustles through the pine forest, bringing with it the sound of waves crashing against the trees.

"Well……"

"Where am I?"

Jiang Chuan slowly opened his eyes. Golden sunlight pierced through the thin clouds and shone on his face, adding a touch of mystery.

He sat up and stretched his limbs.

He felt an unprecedented power surging through his body.

"I am..."

A surge of spiritual energy seemed about to break free of its restraints and burst forth!

This feeling filled Jiang Chuan with joy.

The sight before us, the disappearance of the black hole, must be the work of my future self.

But what is this surging spiritual energy?

Jiang Chuan had a faint feeling that he was about to break through the bottleneck of the Great Perfection of the Profound Rank.

Is it only when I'm on the verge of death that my strength can steadily increase?

Jiang Chuan muttered to himself, his eyes sparkling with surprise.

But Jiang Chuan knew that all of this might be Jiang Chuan secretly helping him in the future.

He stood up, gazing at the distant, undulating mountain range, and was filled with emotion.

What methods did my future self use to unleash the full potential of this body in such a short time?
In a near-death state, one can not only restore their body to its original state, but also break through personal limitations.

This ability is simply amazing!

It's like having a cheat code.

Just as he was pondering this, a strong desire to break through surged into his heart.

Jiang Chuan knew that his body was telling him that the time had come.

He closed his eyes, concentrated, adjusted his breathing, and made hand seals.

Instantly, spiritual energy gathered within his body like a tide, and Jiang Chuan was ready for the upcoming transformation.

"Early stage of Earth Rank..."

"Use yourself as the catalyst, heaven and earth as the furnace, and all things as the medium!"

Jiang Chuan let out a soft murmur, his whole body radiating a dazzling light, as if bringing everything around him into a delicate balance.

With a thought, the spiritual energy near the summit of Mount Hua converged wildly, forming a vortex that swirled rapidly around him.

"Click——"

A faint sound rang out within Jiang Chuan's body; it was the sound of his spiritual meridians widening and his bones strengthening.

Golden patterns faintly appeared beneath his skin, a unique mark of a powerful Earth-rank cultivator, signifying that he had officially entered a new level of cultivation.

Suddenly, a deafening dragon's roar erupted from Jiang Chuan's body.

A golden beam of light shot straight into the sky, tearing through the heavens. The weather on the top of Mount Hua changed color, with thunder and lightning flashing. It seemed that even the heavens and earth were cheering for his breakthrough.

"Rumble--"

The lightning struck directly at the center of the pillar of light, but it was easily deflected by the protective spiritual energy surrounding Jiang Chuan, failing to get close at all.

A smile played on his lips; this trial by heaven and earth was nothing to him.

After a short while, all the strange phenomena gradually subsided, but Jiang Chuan's aura was now completely different from before. His whole body exuded a chilling aura, which was the pressure of a true Earth-rank expert.

He slowly opened his eyes, which seemed to contain the stars and the sea, unfathomable in their depth.

Shen Jing's pupils contracted sharply. He stared blankly at the golden pillar of light piercing through the clouds in the sky, his heart pounding violently.

"Jiang Chuan... he not only didn't die, but he even broke through?"

Beyond the shock, there was an overwhelming sense of excitement.

This sudden surge of spiritual energy made him almost certain that the figure defying fate was none other than Jiang Chuan.

A strange light also gleamed in Qingyun's eyes. He gently stroked the longsword in his hand and couldn't help but sigh proudly, "Big brother is indeed big brother. I knew it. A mere ancient demon god is nothing but a fart to my big brother!"

His tone carried a hint of pride, as if he had personally experienced this thrilling breakthrough.

The Bull Demon King was utterly shocked, his massive fists clenched, his Adam's apple bobbing: "Is this guy human or demon? How can he always escape from the brink of death and get stronger and stronger!"

That being said, the heartfelt respect and recognition were hard to conceal.

Within the Huashan Group.

The stunning scene on the big screen also caught everyone's eye.

Liu Kaitao pursed his lips, his eyes filled with both relief and deep self-reproach.

"We almost misunderstood him... Jiang Chuan, your will and strength are truly admirable!"

Zhong Huahua was so excited that she almost cried. Her hands were clenched tightly together, her nails almost digging into her palms. "I knew it! Jiang Chuan wouldn't fall so easily! This power... it's truly amazing!"

"Jiang Chuan is truly the pride of humanity!"

No one in the organization knows who said that, and everyone stared at the big screen in disbelief.

Jiang Chuan is a man who keeps redefining their understanding of things!
At the summit of Mount Hua, the storm gradually subsided. Jiang Chuan stood there, seemingly the sole protagonist in the world, his aura as a powerful Earth-rank expert causing even the mountain winds to stop.

"Jiang Chuan, is that you?" Shen Jing's voice came through the communicator, tinged with obvious urgency.

Jiang Chuan smiled slightly, a smile that contained the magnanimity of rebirth and the confidence brought by greater strength.
"It's me, Shen Jing. Don't worry, I'm fine."

"What's so good about it! You little rascal, you almost scared us to death!" The Bull Demon King's loud voice followed immediately. Although he scolded us, the concern in his words was obvious.

"I'm sorry to have worried everyone, but right now, I have more important things to do."

Jiang Chuan's voice was steady and powerful. He looked up into the distance, as if he could already see the challenge that was about to come.

"What?" Qingyun keenly noticed the seriousness in Jiang Chuan's tone and couldn't help but ask.

"Once I eliminate the source of the demonic power that has plunged Mount Hua into crisis, I will end all of this once and for all." Jiang Chuan's words revealed an unwavering determination, and he had already begun planning his next move.

Shen Jing was silent for a moment, then said firmly, "We're with you."

“No, this time, I must go alone. You guys prepare support, and I will let you know if I need you.” Jiang Chuan’s words were resolute; he had decided that he would shoulder this responsibility alone.

There was a brief silence on the other end of the communicator, followed by Shen Jing's understanding and respect: "Okay, but be careful! We'll wait for your news here."

"Go back to the organization, I need to inform you of something important!"

"it is good!"

Shen Jing and the others replied.

Jiang Chuan put down the communicator and looked at the deep pit in front of him.

This was the place where they had just fought the ancient demon god. Now, the demonic aura that filled the sky had disappeared. Jiang Chuan frowned.

I must find out for myself, no matter what.

Even if he accidentally wanders into the demon realm, he still has to take a look.

But at this moment, Jiang Chuan suddenly felt unsteady and stumbled, almost falling to the ground.

"As expected... having just advanced to the early stage of Earth Rank, this body can't withstand such a large amount of energy?"

Jiang Chuan murmured to himself.

However, the communicator soon picked up a voice again.

"Jiangchuan?"

That voice... I haven't heard it in so long.

"Mr. Zhou."

Jiang Chuan said respectfully, regardless of his own strength or status, he had never forgotten that he was like a child in front of him.

Zhou Shan nodded at the headquarters of the organization. This kid hadn't disappointed him.

He himself wanted to go to Mount Hua with He Teng to quell the war.

However, Liu Kaitao from Huashan Clinic sent a message saying that Jiang Chuan and his group had arrived at Huashan.

So he kept waiting for news.

Until just now, the unusual phenomenon at Mount Hua brought him back into focus.

Once he regained his footing, he could see clearly that it was the celestial phenomenon of Jiang Chuan's breakthrough!
Thunderbolts struck him relentlessly, yet he remained unharmed.

That terrifying power was utterly terrifying to Zhou Shan.

This child has unlimited potential.

Within the organization, the lack of cultivation methods, coupled with the current scarcity of spiritual energy, makes breakthroughs extremely difficult.

Although the promotion by organizations has sparked a nationwide craze for body training, it is still aimed at addressing the catastrophe that will occur two years from now.

I'm afraid that's still not enough...

Thinking about this, Zhou Shan couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

There is now an even more serious reality before us.

Various countries around the world are undergoing abnormal changes to varying degrees. If the predicted two-year period is not stopped in time, the end of the world may come sooner than expected.

The leaders of Hongcheng had spoken with him because, although the domestic armed forces were advanced, Hongcheng was completely helpless against this kind of enemy.

Even before the strange phenomena occurred, Hongcheng had sent a large number of troops to provide assistance, but the effect was minimal.

The tenacious vitality displayed by those strange beasts when facing gunfire and heavy artillery was simply terrifying.

However, for the organization, when they were still in the second or third tier, these mental attacks were surprisingly effective.

Of course, there are some awakened individuals in Red City, but without systematic training, they are ultimately no match.

The real intention behind the Hongcheng leaders' negotiations with Zhou Shan was to have Jiang Chuan serve as their bodyguard, staying by their side at all times.

You must know how honorable it is to be a bodyguard for a national leader.
Zhou Shan didn't know how to refuse, so he threw the question back to Jiang Chuan, letting Jiang Chuan answer it himself.

But now, Zhou Shan didn't know how to bring it up.

In the end, Zhou Shan truthfully conveyed the leader's intentions to Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan remained silent for a moment. Mr. Zhou's words were heavy, clearly indicating that they were not just a simple request.

He could sense that since the leader was making such demands of himself, there must be a crisis hidden behind it, both nationally and even globally.

"Mr. Zhou, I understand your difficulties."

Jiang Chuan said in a deep voice, his eyes becoming unusually firm.

"But as you also know, if I don't solve these problems, China may fall into an even higher level of crisis."

"Moreover, the crisis at Mount Hua has not been completely resolved."

"I must eliminate the source of the demonic power."

On the other end of the communicator, Zhou Shan sighed, seemingly having anticipated Jiang Chuan's reaction.

"Jiang Chuan, I understand your feelings."

"Never mind... I'll handle this."

Zhou Shan let out a soft breath, his brows furrowed with an indescribable helplessness.

The gap between his current strength and Jiang Chuan's is like an insurmountable chasm, seemingly insurmountable.

Once upon a time, his power was unmatched across the entire land of China, surpassing all others.

But as time goes by and circumstances change, things in the world are ever-changing.

"The Yangtze River's waves push the previous waves forward, each wave stronger than the last."

Zhou Shan silently recited the words to himself, a relieved smile appearing on his lips.

This is not a tragedy, but rather a profound understanding and respect for the laws of nature.

The replacement of the old with a new generation is an inevitable trend of development, a testament to the relentless march of history, and the best proof of the enduring spirit of life and continuous struggle.

For him, this was a gratifying and good thing.

Jiang Chuan's gaze pierced through the emptiness before him, settling on the distant horizon. His heart was surging with mixed emotions.

Zhou Shan's words echoed in his mind, making him clearly aware of it.

At this moment, the land of China is facing unprecedented challenges, and every inch of the land is silently calling for the arrival of its guardians.

Just then, a miracle happened.

Not far away, the huge black hole formed by the rampant demonic power began to slowly heal, as if nature itself possessed an incredible power of repair, causing the hideous scar to gradually disappear and return to peace.

Jiang Chuan stared in disbelief and astonishment. This extraordinary scene overturned his understanding and left him deeply confused.

"This is so strange..."

He muttered to himself, his heart filled with shock and doubt. He had originally planned to delve deeper into the source of that demonic aura, but the current situation forced him to reconsider his course of action.

He single-handedly defied heaven and earth, and even if he had the will, he had to face the limitations of reality.

With his extraordinary perception, Jiang Chuan pinpointed the location of Shen Jing and the others almost instantly.

His figure moved like a gentle breeze, transcending the constraints of space, appearing silently before everyone amidst a faint rustling of wind.

"Wow!"

Shen Jing exclaimed in surprise, his face filled with disbelief.

One second they were talking about solving the source of the demonic power, and the next second they stood in front of everyone like a ghost. Such speed was astonishing!
Qingyun's reaction was even more direct, his eyes filled with undisguised surprise, his excitement at seeing his elder brother was palpable.

"Big brother! How did you get here so fast!"

His words carried a mixture of surprise and confusion.

Even a master like Qingyun found Jiang Chuan's speed unbelievable; it was faster and more unpredictable than the wind.

Jiang Chuan did not answer immediately; his expression was extremely solemn.

"There's no time to say more, I have something urgent to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jing and the others immediately suppressed their smiles and became solemn. They knew that Jiang Chuan's seriousness must be due to something of great importance to the overall situation.

“You need to return to the organization immediately and follow Mr. Zhou’s arrangements. Everyone must take responsibility.”

Jiang Chuan's voice was firm and unwavering: "I must go to the capital in person, and then go to Hongcheng to handle some other matters."

The group noticed Jiang Chuan's serious expression.

They all nodded in agreement.

Jiang Chuan used a communicator to explain the situation to Zhou Shan.

He knew that since the leader had spoken, it proved the level of danger was considerable.

"Jiang Chuan, your guess is correct."

"At present, all countries are facing extremely severe challenges, but the situation in China is relatively optimistic."

"Anyway, you should go to Red City and find the leaders first. I'll pass on the message for you." (End of Chapter)
