Luck taken away? It doesn't matter, I quietly become a god

"...It is this thing that caused the number of Demon Lords to surge."

Within the Buzhou Domain, Yan Mingyuan and Wu Hua stood in mid-air, looking down at the demonic creatures gathered below.

These evil spirits gathered around a chilling spring, some drinking from it, others immersing themselves in it.

Those demons that came into contact with the spring water underwent strange changes in a short time. Some exploded and died, some grew several times larger, and some had their aura rise, showing a tendency to become the demon lord.

Wu Hua swung his sword several times, killing all the nearby evil demons.

“It is recorded in ancient books that this is the Spring of Rebirth, a rare treasure of the Nightmare Clan born in the underground cave. Logically speaking, it should not be possible for it to appear in the Buzhou Domain.”

Yan Mingyuan: "The recent massacre of the Nine Profound Valley showed signs of collusion between an insider and the Nightmare Clan. Some Nightmare Clan members were released. It is likely that among the Nightmare Clan members who escaped from the Nine Profound Valley, some must have brought the Spring Eye with them and had the insider infiltrate the Buzhou Domain and place them in areas where the Fiend Demons are frequently active."

"The evil spirits have no independent consciousness, but they have a desire to increase their power. The Rebirth Spring will attract all the evil spirits in the vicinity..."

The Nightmare Clan calls it "rebirth," but it is not a grant of new life. Non-Nightmare Clan beings who drink the spring water will forcibly increase their strength at the cost of overdrawing their lives, and will inevitably fall into a state of berserk madness and loss of mind during this period.

As for undead monsters like the Demon Fiend, after soaking in this spring, they either explode and die, or are reborn and develop a sliver of consciousness.

During the two's investigation, other major cities, after the demonic tide's offensive was repelled by the divine artifact, also successively sent people into the Buzhou Domain to investigate. For example, Jiuxiao of the Jixia Academy, Lin Jingyue of the Lin family, etc., successively discovered several springs of rebirth.

……

A few months later.

“It’s finally over…” Rong Shu stood on the city wall of Wuqu Pass, the red hem of his clothes fluttering in the wind. He looked down at the receding tide of evil spirits and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Xuanhe flew over, rubbing his sore arms: "This battle is finally over, Junior Sister Rong Shu, how do you feel?"

At this moment, Rong Shu had only one feeling: "Terrification."

Xuanhe laughed heartily: "Your method of killing the demon is even more decisive and efficient than some of the senior students. I thought you weren't afraid!"

"You can still laugh? If it weren't for the city walls as a barrier, the cultivators of Zhongzhou would have had a way to retreat at any time, and they wouldn't have been able to successfully resist the continuous attacks of the Demon Tide for half a year with very few casualties." Behind him, Chen Xin's figure flew over and rolled his eyes at Xuanhe.

Xuanhe spread his hands: "If you win a war, of course you should laugh, otherwise you'd cry, wouldn't that ruin the atmosphere..."

Because the cultivators on the front lines who participated in the battle were all at least at the Nascent Soul stage, even if some unlucky Nascent Soul cultivators fell from the city wall, they could abandon their physical bodies and escape back to the city by leaving their Nascent Souls.

Although rebuilding a physical body will be a very long process, taking anywhere from fifty to two hundred years, at least the soul remains, and there is still hope for salvation.

The setting sun, having just finished its meditation and recuperation, stretched and walked over.

"Are your injuries healed, kid?" Xuanhe punched him, and Luori winced in pain, slapping him back in annoyance.

"Thanks to Junior Sister Rong Shu's medicine, I'm almost fully recovered, and the remaining little bit is nothing to worry about."

For a Nascent Soul cultivator like Luo Ri, physical injuries are minor; the main problem is the excessive consumption of his spiritual energy in this battle.

“Junior Sister Rong Shu, I didn’t expect that you have such a strong spiritual sense even though you have only recently mastered the supernatural power. In every battle, you can last longer than me.”

Upon hearing this, Rong Shu could only respond with an innocent and naive smile: "I don't know either. Maybe it's because I don't use my supernatural powers much. I mostly use magic to kill demons."

As for the issue of using spells consuming a lot of spiritual energy?

For Rong Shu, it was no big deal at all.

You can take any pills you want.

Why would you worry about not having enough spiritual energy?

Moreover, in addition to his battles, Rong Shu can also provide some pills to other cultivators whose spiritual energy is depleted, saving them from dire straits. As a result, Rong Shu is now quite famous in the Zhenyan Army of Wuqu Pass.

Sunset scratched his head, not dwelling on the matter too much, and laughed heartily: "Now I know how awesome it is to have an alchemist on the battlefield who can refine pills anytime, anywhere and never lack pills."

"Junior Sister Rong Shu, once we return to the academy, remember to call your senior brother if you have any tasks you'd like to do!"

Qingniao, who had just returned with Yunduan, heard these words from afar and, as always, interrupted, saying, "Luo Ri, you're just after Junior Sister Rong's seven-fold pills, aren't you?"

"How can this be called being greedy? This is clearly Junior Sister Rong Shu's generosity! Junior Sister Rong Shu is beautiful inside and out!"

"..."

With the demonic tide receding, casualty statistics must begin at Wuqu Pass.

The Jixia Academy also sent some people to help, and Yun Duan was one of them. At this moment, she looked relatively relaxed:

"The casualties at Wuqu Pass this time weren't too high, but I wonder what the situation is at the other passes?"

Especially those ordinary passes, the three million demon-suppressing troops sound like a lot, but they are divided into regular troops and reserve troops.

Only those who reach the Nascent Soul stage can join the regular army.

Those below the Nascent Soul stage, whether Foundation Establishment or Golden Core, are only considered reserve forces. As long as the city walls remain intact, these reserve forces will not engage in combat.

The Great Wall of Suppressing Nightmare, stretching for eight million miles, is too long. The troops that can be allocated to each location are extremely limited. The regular troops of the Suppressing Nightmare Army stationed in ordinary passes number only a little over ten thousand, or even just a few thousand.

Most of the forces that went to provide support were second- or third-tier forces, and their overall strength was not comparable to that of the fourteen main cities.

Once the city walls are breached, the reserve forces are mobilized, and the number of casualties often rises sharply.

The reserve army consisted mostly of Golden Core cultivators and a small number of Foundation Establishment cultivators. Unlike Nascent Soul cultivators, they did not have the ability to reshape their physical bodies using Nascent Soul puppets. Once they died in battle, they were truly dead.
