Above Kyoto, the remaining defensive light curtain was barely functioning.

The high-level officials of the Dragon Kingdom, headed by Chao Dao, gathered here. Everyone was injured and weak, but their eyes were unusually bright.

Soon, streams of light came rushing from all directions.

The remnants of the United States' mecha corps, many of which were severely damaged and even needed to be dragged by the drivers.

The number of superpowered people in South Korea has dropped sharply, and they all look pale.

The armor of the Paladins of the European Union is dim, and their flags are damaged.

The African Union's beast soul warriors were covered in wounds...

All the powerful representatives from the major martial arts countries who were able to come came.

The scene was silent for a moment, with only the howling of the wind.

Chao Dao spoke first, his voice hoarse: "This battle... was a tragic victory."

"Thank you all for coming to our aid to fight the foreign enemies together."

"May the Earth, the planets, the mountains and the rivers remain safe and we can all survive this disaster together."

He cupped his hands and bowed deeply.

The representative of the United States, a one-armed five-star commander, his metal prosthetic eye flashing red, said in a deep voice, "No need to thank me, it's for survival."

"Our country... our ten main states have been reduced to ashes, and the number of casualties... is incalculable."

His voice was filled with suppressed pain. "But I'm lucky to be alive."

The South Korean representative was a beautiful female psychic who had lost an arm. She whispered, "Over half of our country's elite were killed in the battle, and only one in ten of our ordinary people survived."

An African Union leader said, "As for us, many civilizations have been destroyed."

Representatives reported one by one, and each number was so heavy that it was suffocating.

Earth's civilization suffered an unprecedented blow, and no country was spared.

The King said, "Earth is in imminent danger, but even in this desperate situation, there is still hope."

"Ning Feng didn't give up on us."

"We haven't given up on Earth either."

"Every human on Earth has never given up on Earth."

"Also, our ancestors from the past, who walked through the previous era, have laid out their plans since ancient times and have come to this day."

"After today, this battle may become even more difficult, but for the sake of Earth, you and I must continue."

"Born in darkness, chasing the dawn."

Everyone was cheered up and started to recite silently along with the king.

At this moment, two vast and desolate auras descended.

The white-haired old man in the star-shaped robe and the old ancestor carrying a heavy ruler took a step forward and came to the sky above the crowd.

Their figures were even more transparent than before, as if they would disappear at any moment.

But the majesty that came from the depths of time and space made everyone bow involuntarily, and even Pojun and the other two nodded slightly in greeting.

Pojun said, "Long time no see, both of you."

The white-haired old man in the star robe smiled and said, "Thank you all for helping me, Earth Star. I, Bai Xing, thank you again."

As he said this, he bowed deeply.

Po Jun and the other two accepted it calmly and returned the greeting. "That's not necessary. We are just following orders. Besides, Ning Feng will be chosen as a candidate for Heaven Warrior. To some extent, we are already one of them."

"Sky Warrior."

Bai Xing looked at Ning Feng with surprise.

Then, a look of relief appeared on his face.

After a brief greeting, he didn't say anything more to Pojun and the other two. The three of them were also shocked by Nie and the emperor who was fighting against the ancient road.

"Ancestor."

The King Chao Dao and others all performed martial arts salutes towards Bai Xing and the old man Chong Chi.

"No need to be so polite, children."

The old man in the star robe, Bai Xingxu, raised his hand and looked at the broken earth and the people. His eyes showed a complex emotion, some sad, some relieved.

"Seeing you're still fighting, we're...really relieved."

The old man, speaking in a deep voice, took over the conversation: "We are the souls of the Second Harvest Era, those who have lingered until now."

"As well as Xuan Huang and the 'mountains and rivers' that just transformed into the Dao, they are all plans from the past, buried in the fault lines of time and space, awaiting the changes of today."

Chao Dao asked excitedly: "Ancestor, back then you..."

The old man in the star robe nodded. "We anticipated that the harvest would not stop. We and the pioneers of the first era used our remaining bodies, souls, and the essence of the Earth and Star as our foundation to lay a backup plan."

"May it be frozen in time, or melted into the earth's veins, or hidden in time and space... all to fight for a glimmer of hope for humanity at the most crucial moment."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

In other words, there are not only the three in front of us, but also other ancestors who are sleeping.

He paused, then raised his voice suddenly, with an unquestionable determination: "Now, the time has come."

"The Thunder Prison has fallen, the Bone Dragon has been sealed, and the remaining emperors have retreated. Yet, your bloodiness remains undiminished, and you, with your 'mountains and rivers' transformed into Dao, are giving back to the heaven and earth. This is an unprecedented opportunity."

"The two of us have decided to travel with fellow Daoist Shanhe. With this remaining body, we will activate the eternal plan to help Earth Star achieve a great leap forward in martial arts."

"Great Leap Forward in Martial Arts?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, even Ning Feng raised his head.

The old man with the heavy ruler explained, "This is not an ordinary breakthrough in cultivation."

"It is based on the three of us completely transforming into the Dao, combining the essence and Dao power left behind by the powerful men of the two eras, to forcibly elevate the level of the martial arts of the Earth Star."

"Reconstruct the laws of heaven and earth, stimulate the potential of all living beings, revive spiritual energy to the ancient level, and make the understanding of the great way become clear."

"The goal is to... allow Earth to produce powerful individuals capable of truly confronting, or even counterattacking and reaping, civilization in the shortest possible time."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole world was shocked.

Everyone understands what this means.

These three ancestors are the greatest foundation of the Earth today. They are living epics and guardian gods.

If they were there, even if they were seriously injured, they would still be a huge deterrent.

But they actually chose to completely transform into Taoism, just to start a "Great Leap Forward" full of unknowns?

"Ancestor, you can't do that!"

Chao Dao was the first to exclaim, his tiger eyes filled with tears. "You are already the pillars of the Earth. How can you sacrifice yourself for us? We...we can slowly recover and practice."
