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

Inside the training room, only Lingdong was practicing his swordsmanship in silence.

Because of the high intensity of his agile training, he didn't even notice when Jiang Chuan and Ling Juan quietly came in.

Looking at her once vibrant face, which was gradually becoming thinner, her muscles were beginning to take shape.

He wielded the sword with great strength and power, exuding masculinity from head to toe.

Ling Juan couldn't help but feel happy, but she also couldn't help but feel sad.

It's shameful that my adopted son has been suffering here all this time.

"Agile!"

Lingdong heard the familiar voice and immediately turned around.

The moment I saw my godfather, I recalled my own heartache and bitterness.

She burst into tears instantly and threw herself onto Ling Juan's body.

"Father!"

Ling Juan was soaked with sweat from Ling Dong's body, but Ling Juan didn't mind at all.

"Why are you only arriving now? I've been here for two months."

Lingjuan nodded, her mouth filled with choked sobs.

"This is the only time. From now on, the three of us will travel together, and I won't let you go with anyone else."

Jiang Chuan, feeling rather awkward, quickly walked away, wanting to leave the area.

"Don't go, Jiang Chuan. Lingdong's success today is definitely due to your excellent teaching. In the future, you will be one of Lingdong's masters."

Jiang Chuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he quickly recovered.

"Now that you've said that, what else can I say?"

Just as Lingdong was about to kneel down to perform the master-disciple ceremony, Jiang Chuan stopped her.

"No, no, I don't like this. Besides, you've learned a lot from me. Do you think I treat you like an outsider?"

Ling shook his head. He knew this, and he wouldn't stand on ceremony with Jiang Chuan at all.

So the three of them got dressed and went to rest.

“Lingdong, I know about your recent situation. Jiang Chuan also told me about it.”

Lingdong didn't care about anything else, and kept talking, telling Lingjuan what she had experienced over the long period of time.

Actually, after all this time, Lingjuan is still quite worried about Lingdong, mainly because she's afraid Lingdong will miss home.

But once I got here, I realized I had no such idea at all, because I've had so many experiences over the past few months.

Abundant resources mean no one will miss home, and Jiang Chuan has not mistreated Ling Dong either.

Jiang Chuan would never mistreat Ling Juan's adopted son, even if it meant mistreating himself.

This is the tacit understanding between brothers; even if it's entrusting an orphan to someone, Jiang Chuan wouldn't utter a single word of dissent.

...

"What are your plans next?"

Ling Juan looked at Jiang Chuan, who then asked a soul-searching question.

However, Ling Juan came here with a specific purpose.

"Actually, there's something I'd like to do with you."

Jiang Chuan frowned, indicating that Ling Juan could say it in person.

Ling Juan nodded and said.

"Actually, the situation has calmed down now, but that's not what I really think."

"Oh?"

"Before the storm comes, the sea is very calm."

"You mean a new storm is about to begin!"

Ling Juan nodded.

Jiang Chuan also considered himself to be very strong, but he was no match for some important figures.

It was still difficult to compete and contend with them, but Jiang Chuan was well aware of this.

"This time, let's go to the Dwarf Kingdom!"

Jiang Chuan's eyes widened, and he asked.

"Why would you want to go to the land of dwarves? There's no going back from there."

Lingjuan shook her head, indicating her disagreement.

"The Dwarf Kingdom is no longer the Dwarf Kingdom it used to be."

In the past, the dwarf kingdom lost one of its kings to a human army.

This led to the Dwarf Kingdom harboring great hostility towards humans.

They do not actively invade, especially human territory.

However, if anyone enters their territory, they will be surrounded and attacked instantly.

That's why Jiang Chuan wondered why he would go to the Dwarf Kingdom out of the blue.

Furthermore, the land of dwarves has always been a place that everyone avoids.

When it came to Ling Juan, he actually wanted to try his luck.

"How is it that things are different now? Could it be that..."

Ling Juan nodded and began to preach to Jiang Chuan.

"In the Dwarf Kingdom, a sudden disaster struck. Suddenly, only a few hundred people remained of the entire Dwarf race."

Jiang Chuan was taken aback, his face filled with disbelief.

"How could that be! What happened? Could it be that they've been targeted by an enemy?"

"Maybe so, that's what I think too. We can go ask them, and we might even get a favor from the Dwarf Kingdom."

The dwarves, while generally disliking humans, only dislike those who govern them.

People like Jiang Chuan are no longer likely to become enemies.

"Let's go, let's go there."

"Okay, if you're a brother, let's go."

In any case, the road ahead is still quite difficult, and sticking to old ways will ultimately lead to no good outcome.

"When do we leave?"

"Just tomorrow."

"Will you bring your agility with you?!"

"Bring him along, that's perfect. Let him see that there's still so much we don't know about this world, especially the peak of the Immortal Rank. Let him see what lies beyond the Immortal Rank."

After a long time, Lingdong finally put on her clothes.

That is, they set off for the dwarf tribe.

The dwarves live roughly in the eastern part of the continent, a place Jiang Chuan rarely visits.

Therefore, we were very careful along the way, afraid of encountering anything wrong.

Why should we go to the dwarves' territory?

"Just joining in the fun."

Lingjuan smiled and said to Lingdong, "There are some things that children don't need to know."

"Let's go, sword flight activated!"

After saying that, Jiang Chuan activated the sword flight mode again, and Ling Dong once again experienced the feeling of flying on a sword.

"Master, can you teach me?"

"Which one!"

"Flying on a sword is so cool, and you can fly such a long distance."

Jiang Chuan smiled, sensing Lingdong's eagerness to learn.

So, while piloting the plane himself, he began teaching.

"First, you must reach a consensus with your sword, and then you must devote yourself entirely to the sword."

After carefully considering it, Lingdong discovered that he had vaguely found the opportunity.

"And then! I felt it, that feeling that was etched into my heart."

"Yes, that's it. Then, feel the sword and let it slowly rise from under your feet, and then you fly up."

Lingdong tried, but failed and fell hard, scraping his face.

"No need to rush, practice slowly. Back then, it took me half a month to learn it. You have to practice to become proficient at anything."

In the blink of an eye, Lingdong was practicing on the side, while Jiang Chuan was in charge of flying on his sword.

The view in front of me is increasingly resembling an Eastern appearance.

"Looks like we're almost at the dwarf tribe. You two, perk up."

"So fast? Okay, in that case, get up." Ling Juan was also groggy; she had finally fallen asleep, but Jiang Chuan woke her up again.

"I've made you too comfortable, so I won't be flying on a sword anymore. I'll just walk from now on."

Ling Juan's eyes were also unfocused; she was simply too tired.

"What's wrong? I feel so weak lately."

Jiang Chuan scoffed and said.

"Don't you have any idea how many bottles of liquor you drank last night?"

"Did I drink it? I don't remember."

It seems Ling Juan really drank too much; she doesn't even know if she's been drinking.

Suddenly, a desolate area appeared ahead, which was very strange and not without reason.

The ruins on the ground reveal that a great battle once took place here.

"Could it be something that happened during the war between the dwarves?"

Ling Juan sobered up and immediately began searching for clues.

"Look at this bone. It's hard and has a large frame. It looks like an orc's bone, but I'm not sure."

Ling Juan's eyes sharpened, and she became alert. Jiang Chuan noticed that something was wrong with Ling Dong.

It instantly became alert and protected the agile creature in the middle.

"I'm sure there are other monsters like this around here."

Jiang Chuan drew his Dragon Roar Sword, ready at any moment and alert to anything happening around him.

"Quick! I have a feeling this is more than one person."

"Aww~ Oh~ Aww~"

A wolf howl sounded, but not entirely; it was a lively and chilling sound.

I got goosebumps all over my body; I seemed genuinely frightened.

Ling Juan deeply engraved the Malay sword in his hand, forming a state of perfect harmony between man and sword.

Suddenly, a horde of orcs charged toward Lingdong Jiangchuan and his companions.

Such a large number must have been twenty orcs.

Every orc was covered in armor, and their heads were strange and unusual, resembling those of jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards.

"What the hell! So many orcs, where are they all from?"

Ling Juan said as he slashed and killed.

"They are the culprits who caused the dwarves to be mutilated overnight."

Jiang Chuan, protected by the Dragon's Roar, was not afraid of them at all. Among them was a wolf-faced, human-bodied beastman.

It's considered quite strong; even on the mainland, it would be considered extremely powerful.

He seemed to have reached the mid-stage of the Heavenly Realm, but he was no threat to Jiang Chuan at all.

"Only a mid-stage Heaven Rank cultivator, you bastard, yet you dare to attack me first."

The opposing team underestimated Jiang Chuan; it was too late for them to escape.

They were all killed by Jiang Chuan, who pierced their hearts with a thousand arrows.

Only the werewolf was left behind, as it seemed to still be of some use.

"Can't you speak human language?"

The werewolf was tightly bound by the blue chains and couldn't break free at all.

As Jiang Chuan approached, it continued to growl to itself, clearly intending to bite Jiang Chuan to death.

Jiang Chuan knew that sometimes, not using violence was an unwise choice.

Jiang Chuan's Dragon Roar Sword was seen deeply embedded in the werewolf's palm.

The other person felt excruciating pain, and most importantly, this pain was continuous.

Jiang Chuan's Dragon Roar Sword is no ordinary sword; the power of the dragon's roar is swirling within the werewolf's body.

He kept thinking about how to erode the other person's body, turning it into a container.

Finally, the werewolf couldn't take it anymore.

"I said! I said!"

Jiang Chuan then slowly pulled the sword out of the other person's body.

Blood spurted more than twenty centimeters, but Jiang Chuan didn't care whether the other person lived or died.

"Speak quickly! Were you the ones who attacked the dwarves?"

"Yes, yes, but we are not the main force. I am just a squad leader."

Jiang Chuan was afraid that he was dishonest and would tell lies.

So he plunged the sword into his foot.

Seeing that Jiang Chuan lacked martial ethics, the werewolf started begging for mercy again and told everything in one go.

"I! We have a large orc army, and it's the closest gathering point."

Jiang Chuan frowned and asked in confusion.

"What's going on? Tell me!"

"In order to seize the dwarves' equipment and their territory."

Ling Juan nodded. He had already thought of this; this entire eastern region was the territory of the dwarves.

Naturally, some people coveted this land, especially those ghost-faced plague mutants.

These orcs were all irradiated during the later stages of the apocalypse.

Needless to say, Jiang Chuan is now very clear-headed.

"Who is your leader! Tell me quickly, and what is your strength?"

The werewolf thought for a moment, and when he mentioned the leader, a look of panic appeared on his face.

"No! No, I can't say it. If I do, I'm dead."

"If you hadn't spoken, you'd be dead by now anyway."

Jiang Chuan spoke in a threatening tone, as if afraid that the other party would start bargaining.

But suddenly, the werewolf became more and more agitated as he spoke, and his face twitched uncontrollably.

Jiang Chuan took a step back. The werewolf's eyes were now bloodshot. Suddenly, its head tilted to the side, and its eyes became lifeless.

Ling Juan only glanced at it before speaking.

"He committed suicide by biting his tongue. It seems they are still very united, especially their leader. Their leader must be a terrifying being."

Lingdong spoke up at this moment. He ran to the werewolf's side and took something out of his pocket.

"Master, look what this is?"

Jiang Chuan leaned closer and examined the crystal. It looked impressive, both in terms of its texture and its fullness.

These are all top-quality gems; this is a really good thing.

"This is bloodstone, which can improve one's blood circulation. Moreover, it is very rare. We usually can't find it on the main road, and it's quite common even in the East Market."

Such a fine item would sell for over 100,000 at an auction.

Lingdong was given to Jiang Chuan, but Jiang Chuan didn't need it and let Lingdong keep it.

"However, since this werewolf possesses something so valuable, could it be his personal possession?"

"Just ask the dwarves, and you'll know everything."

So the three of them gradually followed the trail and arrived in the heart of the east.

Seeing that the time was right, Ling Juan blew a certain whistle.

"Huh~"

Several whistles rang out one after another, seemingly in response to the spirit scroll.

"What's going on?!"

"The way the dwarves communicate... Let's go, it seems the dwarves are nearby."

Finally, in an abandoned building, Lingjuan and the others found the dwarves.

The dwarf chieftain in the middle no longer had his usual happy expression.

Instead, their eyes were filled with panic, as if they were afraid of making any more mistakes.

"Hey buddy, do you remember me?"

The spirit scroll went over, wanting to get closer, but was stopped by the guarding dwarves.

These little people aren't actually that much shorter; they're generally around 1.4 meters tall.

But they are heavy, generally weighing over 200 pounds, and have a lot of muscle.

No wonder humans have always been unable to provoke the dwarves.

But this time the dwarves suffered a major setback. What exactly happened? (End of Chapter)
