Quick Wear High Martial Arts: The system wants me to be a dog

"We will safeguard this era!"

"Defend!" Hua Feiyu said succinctly, his gaze resolute.

"Defend!" Li Xiaoqi and the others responded in unison.

The sounds converged into an invisible torrent, echoing across the mountaintop of this new era.

They said no more, and sat down cross-legged to refine and absorb the essence left by Ning Feng.

Divine radiance surged from them, resonating with the entire new era, like rising new stars.

Chao Dao and Li Tao stood outside the main hall, sensing the rapidly growing aura emanating from the distant mountain peaks.

They exchanged smiles, their eyes filled with relief and hope.

"The seeds have been sown," Chaodao said softly.

Li Tao nodded: "I believe that one day, these sparks will surely ignite a prairie fire."

……

Meanwhile, atop a mountain.

Nalan Yanran was lying in a coffin when, on this day, the coffin suddenly exploded.

A vast amount of energy enveloped the coffin, and soon after, a surge of life force burst forth.

The head of the Nalan family transformed into a streak of light and arrived at the mountain peak in an instant.

He stared blankly at the shattered fragments of the coffin, where a slender figure was slowly rising.

It is no longer the pale and lifeless state of its former slumber.

At this moment, Nalan Yanran's skin was radiant and glowing with a healthy glow, and she was surrounded by an indescribable, boundless vitality.

That vitality was not the ordinary springtime feeling of grass and trees, but rather carried a kind of Nirvana-like charm, which came from overcoming death and destruction and then being reborn.

It resonates with the ancient bloodline that was originally dormant within her, forming a unique and powerful aura.

She slowly opened her eyes, and the confusion in them was gone.

Instead, it is clear and profound, as if reflecting the profound meaning of the cycle of life and death.

At first glance, it seems as if one is immersed in it.

"Father."

Nalan Yanran looked at the Nalan family head, who was trembling with excitement, and revealed a gentle yet slightly unfamiliar smile.

There was a newfound calmness and transcendence in that smile.

"Yanran...you...you're finally awake. How are you feeling?"

The head of the Nalan family, his voice choked with emotion, looked his daughter up and down, fearing that this was just a dream.

"I'm fine, better than I've ever been."

Nalan Yanran felt the surging power within her body, as well as the many vague insights about life, death, and annihilation that had appeared in her mind.

She looked up, her gaze seemingly able to pierce through layers of emptiness.

Looking towards the farthest reaches of the sky, the once silent gates are now wide open.

The area has now returned to calm, but a chilling aftertaste lingers in its direction.

“I slept for a long time… but I also ‘saw’ a lot.”

She whispered, “In my slumber, my consciousness seemed to touch upon some strange realm between life and death, and I felt the lament of the era, and also... his conquests.”

The "he" she was referring to was naturally Ning Feng.

The Nalan family head's expression turned solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Ning Feng and the others have already entered the Source of Annihilation to engage in the final battle."

Nalan Yanran was not too surprised to hear this, but a complex and incomprehensible emotion flashed in the depths of her eyes.

There was worry, relief, and above all, a determination.

“I know, Father.” She nodded gently. “The moment I awoke, I sensed his departure, and I also sensed the hope he left for this era…”

She stretched out her slender hand, palm facing upward, and a strange halo of light gathered there.

The halo was not pure death energy, but rather a fusion of the two, forming an energy containing infinite possibilities.

"The cycle of birth and death continues; even in extinction, one can attain nirvana."

Nalan Yanran felt this power and whispered, "My slumber is not entirely a calamity."

The fact that my body and soul were teetering on the edge of life and death unexpectedly led me to the very essence of the 'laws of life and death.'

She looked at her father with a determined gaze: "Father, I want to join the war too."

"What?!" The Nalan family head exclaimed in shock. "No! Yanran, you've only just awakened. How terrifying is that Source of Annihilation? Even Ning Zun and the others..."

"That's why I have to go."

Nalan Yanran interrupted her father.

Her aura began to steadily rise, and the Daoist charm of life and death intertwined became increasingly apparent.
