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

Jiang Chuan quickly formed hand seals, and his aura began to surge. A powerful force erupted from his body, instantly enveloping him in a layer of lightning light. The light was as dazzling as the sun, making it impossible for anyone to look directly at him.

When Tu Zun saw Jiang Chuan suddenly unleash a powerful force, his expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and sneered, "Jiang Chuan, do you think you can withstand my earth power with the power of thunder?"

Jiang Chuan did not answer. Words could not persuade the Earth Lord; only strength could prove everything. He gripped the Dragon Roar Sword tightly, preparing to meet the Earth Lord's attack.

Just then, Tu Zun suddenly raised the Soul-Hooking Flute in his hand, and a powerful force of earth surged toward Jiang Chuan. The force was like a flash flood, unstoppable. Jiang Chuan was instantly submerged by the earth force, and he felt an enormous pressure enveloping him, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

But Jiang Chuan did not give up. He fought with all his might, wielding his sword and scattering the power of the earth. His body rolled around in the earth's power, dodging the Earth Lord's attacks while constantly counterattacking.

The power of earth and the power of thunder collided in the air.

Make a huge roar.

It felt as if the whole world was shaking.

"What?" Tu Zun discovered that his earth power was unable to withstand Jiang Chuan's attack.

"You didn't expect that, did you? I not only possess the power of thunder, but also the power of ice," Jiang Chuan laughed. After drinking the Water Venerable's power of ice, Jiang Chuan vaguely sensed the shadow of ice.

Tu Zun's expression turned ugly.

Clearly, they hadn't expected Jiang Chuan to be able to withstand his earthen power.

Even more unexpectedly, Jiang Chuan also possessed the power of ice.

If we don't change our strategy soon, Jiang Chuan will likely win this battle.

Tu Zun took a deep breath and decided to use his strongest move. A powerful force of earth surged from his body, like a raging torrent, unstoppable and even stronger than the previous earth force. He put the Soul-Hooking Flute to his lips and began to play it.

Although Tu Zun's movements were calm, they were filled with strong determination and fighting spirit. The soil around his body began to rotate, as if drawn by some mysterious force, forming a huge vortex. At the center of that vortex was where he stood. His eyes were resolute, and the muscles all over his body were trembling slightly, as if he was enduring great pressure.

However, he did not give up. Instead, he played the soul-snatching flute even harder. The sound was like a call from the deepest hell, filled with endless darkness and despair. But within this despair, there was a glimmer of hope and a glimmer of light.

As he played, the powerful earth energy began to surge, like a giant dragon, swirling around the Earth God's body before gradually rising into the air and forming a massive earthen wall. That wall seemed to be the Earth God's protective barrier, impenetrable to any external force.

On the face of the earth deity.

A satisfied smile appeared on his face.

His mastery of the earth has reached a new level.

When Jiang Chuan heard the horn, his memories began to distort. His thoughts seemed to be pulled back to the distant past by the sound. Those sealed memories flooded into his mind like a tide. He saw the riverbank of his childhood hometown, the iron bridge he had crossed countless times. The familiar river water shimmered brightly in the sunlight. Jiang Chuan's heart raced. He could almost feel his innocent self running carefree on the bridge.

However, the horn sounded again.

This time the pace is much faster.

It was like urging, yet also like a warning.

Jiang Chuan's memories began to become confused.

Reality and the past are intertwined.

He couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion.

He saw himself standing in the middle of the iron bridge, the river below turning blood red.

On the bridge, a steam train roared past, billowing smoke.

"Wasn't I fighting the Earth God? How did I end up here?"

Jiang Chuan felt a wave of dizziness, and his steps swayed involuntarily with the rhythm of the train.

The sound of the soul-snatching flute was like a mournful cry.

It kept tearing at his nerves.

He wanted to escape, but his legs were rooted to the spot and he couldn't move.

Just then, he saw her, the girl in the old-fashioned dress, standing at the front of the train, smiling and waving at him. Young Li Yi still looked innocent and pure. He called out, "Shall we go play in the mud?" She didn't answer, but nodded. So he took her little hand and ran towards the river, his face beaming with the innocent smile of childhood.

At this moment, Jiang Chuan turned his head.

I noticed that Li Yi's face was gradually becoming blurry.

When he realized something was wrong, he thought there was something wrong with his eyes.

He rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand.

I realized it wasn't a problem with my eyes.

So he tried to speak, but found that his throat was blocked by something and he couldn't make a sound. Then he heard the sound of a flute getting louder and louder in his ears.

No, this isn't the real world. Jiang Chuan realized something and decided to clear his head. He looked at the river beside him, and without even taking off his clothes, he jumped into the river, beginning to soak his nerves in the water.

The river water washed over his head, and he suddenly opened his eyes to find himself sitting on a park bench. The coffee in his hand had gone cold. The horn, the iron bridge, the train, and the girl were all just his hallucinations, but the sense of reality made his heart ache. Those memories, those past events, had left him forever, teaching him to slowly accept them.

"Jiang Chuan, Jiang Chuan, where are you?" Li Yi's voice rang out.

Jiang Chuan sat on the bench, his coffee trembling involuntarily.

This voice sounds so familiar.

Why can't I remember?
His heart skipped a beat. He had even forgotten why he was here. What was going on?
Jiang Chuan raised his head and looked in the direction from which the sound came. He saw Li Yi anxiously searching for something in the crowd. His heart couldn't help but tighten. The scene seemed familiar, yet he couldn't quite place it. He tried to stand up, but found his body unusually heavy, as if he were being tightly bound by something.

Jiang Chuan tried hard to recall, but could only piece together some fragments. He seemed to be looking for something very important, but he couldn't remember what it was. He felt a headache, as if countless needles were pricking his brain.

He looked at Li Yi, that familiar yet unfamiliar face, searching through his memories, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break through the fog.

Jiang Chuan clenched his fists, determined to force his way through the fog. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

“Brother Jiang Chuan, why are you sitting here?” Li Yi walked over to Jiang Chuan. “I’ve been looking for you for ages.” She wiped the sweat from her forehead. “You promised to buy me coffee, but you’re drinking it yourself.” As if she had thought of something, she continued, “By the way, don’t you dislike coffee?” “Do we know each other?” Jiang Chuan’s tone softened considerably when he said these words.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Li Yi snatched Jiang Chuan's half-finished coffee and continued drinking it. Then she pulled out the little Jiang Chuan who was hiding behind her and said, "Look, doesn't he look a lot like you?"

"Our child?" Jiang Chuan frowned, his gaze fixed on the child who looked almost exactly like him when he was a child, and asked.

Li Yi nodded gently, a tear glistening in her eyes. She didn't know why Jiang Chuan had become like this. She gently stroked Jiang Chuan's head, then turned to face him and said deeply, "Jiang Chuan, I need to talk to you."

Jiang Chuan gestured for Li Yi to continue.

"Jiang Chuan, do you remember the promise we made when we were little?"

Jiang Chuan looked at Li Yi, shook his head, and indicated that he didn't remember.

Li Yi sighed softly, then continued, "When we were little, we made a promise that if we couldn't find each other, we would live our own lives and do our own well. But if we could find each other, we would live together and do our own well together."

Hearing Li Yi's words, Jiang Chuan felt as if he had been enlightened. He excitedly grabbed Li Yi's hand, kissed her forehead, and said excitedly, "Thank goodness for you, Xiao Yi." Then he looked at a big tree, stretched his head forward and crashed into it. His head exploded like a watermelon, and he died.

The people in the park were startled by Jiang Chuan's sudden action. What was he doing in broad daylight?
Li Yi's face remained calm, knowing that her mission was complete.

Jiang Chuan in the real world slowly opened his eyes and found that the area was surrounded by a black and white halo.

The black and white light rippled outwards like waves, gradually spreading across the entire field of vision. Jiang Chuan stared at this strange phenomenon, a strange shock welling up in his heart. The strength of the Earth Venerable was indeed tricky. If it weren't for Li Yi, he would probably be stuck in the confused memories forever and unable to extricate himself.

He tried to stand up, but found his body unusually heavy, as if bound by some force.

In this world where black and white intertwine.

Jiang Chuan sensed a strong energy fluctuation.

It was a feeling that was both familiar and strange.

This power is inextricably linked to the thunderous power within him.

The black and white light in front of him seemed to be an entrance to another world.

"You're awake." The voice came from all directions; it was the voice of the Earth God.

"What an insidious skill! Aren't you afraid of divine retribution?" Jiang Chuan was still shaken by what had just happened.

Tu Zun smiled slightly, a hint of mockery in his eyes, and said, "Jiang Chuan, don't you understand? In this world, the law of the jungle is eternal. Do you think your kindness and justice can change anything?"

Jiang Chuan clenched his teeth.

The anger in my heart erupted like a volcano.

“Even so, I will not yield to you. I will continue to pursue my path, even if it means being shattered to pieces,” he said.

Tu Zun shook his head slightly, seemingly helpless at Jiang Chuan's stubbornness, and said, "You are really a stubborn fellow, but that is also what makes you different. Unfortunately, your path is destined to be bumpy."

"Look what this is?" As soon as Tu Zun finished speaking, a girl wrapped in mud appeared in Jiang Chuan's sight.

His pupils contracted. The girl was Li Yi. He said, puzzled, "This is a battle between us and has nothing to do with her."

"Haha..." Tu Zun smiled, "Once you step into the arena, you become an enemy; that's the rule."

"Aren't you puzzled?" Tu Zun noticed the doubt on Jiang Chuan's face and said again, "When your memory was confused, you shouted to her, 'Help me.'" He paused and said, "This little girl rushed into my colorless and odorless skill barrier without even thinking."

"Without her help, do you think you could break free from the colorless and odorless mental shackles with your willpower alone?" Tu Zun said solemnly.

Jiang Chuan looked at Li Yi, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

The rules that Tu Zun spoke of were the reality he had to accept.

However, what he couldn't accept was that Li Yi had taken such a huge risk for him.

"Why are you using her to threaten me?" Jiang Chuan's face was cold.

The earthen statue's eyes revealed a profound and unfathomable meaning.

He spoke slowly, his tone cold as he said, "Jiang Chuan, don't you understand? In this world, there are no eternal enemies, nor eternal friends, only eternal interests. Li Yi's involvement has shown me an opportunity to take advantage of you, which I cannot resist."

"Earth Lord, your actions are utterly despicable."

"If you're so capable, come and challenge me directly."

Why make a fuss over an innocent girl?

Jiang Chuan's anger intensified, and he said coldly.

Tu Zun gently shook his head. "Jiang Chuan, you are still too young. In this world, nothing is innocent. Everyone is fighting for their own interests. Li Yi's involvement in this battle is her own choice. You don't need to be responsible for her."

"Are you even speaking human language?" Jiang Chuan couldn't help but ask. Ask him to give up Li Yi? That's impossible.

Tu Zun fell silent upon hearing this. He had said almost as much as he would in a year today, and he rarely spoke so long-windedly in previous battles.

At this moment, various corpses appeared around the unconscious Li Yi. None of them had ever touched a woman's hand in life, so how could they possibly resist now that a beautiful woman was lying in front of them?

Seeing this, Jiang Chuan tried to rescue Li Yi, but found that his body was frozen in place by an invisible brute force.

"Xiao Yi, wake up!" Jiang Chuan called out in the direction where Li Yi was lying.

While unconscious, Li Yi seemed to sense the unusual activity around her. Her body trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her beautiful eyes. The first thing she saw was a dozen mouths kissing her. Startled, she curled up and leaned back. She stood up and ran towards the thinnest part of the earthen corpse without thinking.

How could a weak woman like her be a match for the earth corpses? In just a few breaths, her escape was blocked by the earth corpses. They fixed Li Yi in the crack of the rocks, unbuckled their belts, and prepared to do what they imagined.

Seeing this, Li Yi was filled with fear. She struggled and tried to escape from the encirclement of the earth corpses. However, the earth corpses' strength far exceeded her imagination, and she could not break free no matter what she did.

Just then, she heard a square-faced, earthen corpse say, "Little sister, bear with it, it's a bit big." (End of Chapter)
