I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 689 The Return of the Righteous God: Is it a Blessing or a Curse...?

Jiang Chen, Li Xueru, and Dongfang Yi analyzed the data point by point, peeling back the layers, and finally arrived at the answer.

Extraterrestrial artifact, a mythical material, but Magic Gold isn't exactly a great thing.

The Gu-inducing spirit can turn people into berserk and bloodthirsty beings.

The Demon-Slaying Sword is forged from demonic metal, which brings great power but also strong negative effects.

Li Xueru said, "Based on the previous situation, it can be confirmed that the Righteous God was indeed affected by the Demon Gold."

Jiang Chen said, "According to the records in the handbook, Senior Dongfang Jin was able to resist the Demon Gold, so the Righteous God should be able to as well." "However, the Righteous God has been affected now, which must have caused a problem during the resurrection process."

"If it's just an impact, that's fine. I believe that with the level of the righteous god's soul, he will surely be able to set things right."

What I'm afraid of is...

Li Xueru said in a deep voice, "What I fear is that the God of Righteousness is no longer the God of Righteousness." Jiang Chen nodded silently with a serious expression.

What I fear is that the righteous spirit has been affected to a deeper level, and may no longer be itself.

Jiang Chen didn't say it explicitly, but everyone understood.

Li Xueru said, "Anyway, just be careful. I'll inform Lao Hong and the others to be careful."

Jiang Chen nodded, "I really don't know whether the return of the Righteous God is a blessing or a curse."

"I hope we're overthinking it,"

The God of Heads has returned, and it's impossible to stop him, after all, he is the only half-step god among humans.

With him around, humanity gained confidence.

Jiang Chen and Li Xueru left the palace and headed to the Yuan battlefield.

Jiang Chen stood in the air, looking at the Eternal Great Wall.

This achievement is the result of the efforts of more than ten generations of human ancestors over hundreds of years.

The Everlasting Wall was already under construction as early as the time of the Righteous God.

It was not until a hundred years after the fall of the god of righteousness that it was truly completed.

The Eternal Wall continues to function, its nine fortresses linked together to form a barrier that stops the demons.

Thanks to the existence of the Great Wall, humanity has been relatively well-off for the past few centuries.

Demons can only come through certain special means to settle in cities.

However, a large-scale offensive was impossible. It was known that such a major war had not occurred for centuries. Half a day later, news came back from the front lines.

The demon dragons have all retreated, and the original battlefield has returned to complete calm.

The Great Wall of Eternity slowly ceased its operation amidst a roar, and the arrays within the empire began to stop.

After the war ended, the casualty statistics began.

This will be a tragic process; the battle, which has lasted only a few days, has already claimed the lives of many.

They are heroes, they are martyrs, and each of them will be recorded in history.

The Divine Dragon Empire never mistreats any of the soldiers or professionals who died on the battlefield.

Their families will receive the best care and will lack nothing.

Jiang Chen stood in the void outside Fortress No. 9, watching the soldiers cleaning up the battlefield outside the fortress, and sighed softly in his heart. War... is too cruel for most people.

Jiang Chen clenched his fist. "This is the world of humans. Neither the Abyss nor the Dragon Clan should come here."

Even while studying, Jiang Chen had his own ideas: as long as he had enough power, he would definitely kill Jiang Shenyuan and wipe out the demon race.

Now, we'll add another dragon race.

The sword light flew swiftly from afar.

In the blink of an eye, the sword light had stopped above the fortress.

Jiang Yi arrived riding the Demon-Slaying Sword. He flew in from outside the fortress and hadn't seen anything the entire time.

A glance at the soldiers cleaning up the battlefield outside the fortress.

He flew past Jiang Chen without even glancing at him.

Jiang Chen's heart skipped a beat as he realized that something was wrong with Jiang Yi, which seemed to be beyond his expectations.

It's not just a simple matter of being affected.

Otherwise, how could he not recognize himself? You must know that he had been alone in the secret realm for hundreds of years, and the only person he had ever communicated with was himself.

If you don't even recognize yourself, then there's a big problem.

Just as Jiang Yi was about to enter the fortress, the fortress's formation suddenly flickered, blocking him.

Although he was a human, he was not recognized by the fortress.

Jiang Chen watched as Jiang Jiu was blocked without saying a word.

Jiang Yi did not force his way in, but said, "I am Jiang Yi, open the formation."

Jiang Yi's voice was transmitted through the array.

This sound made Jiang Chen feel something was off again.

Jiang Yi's voice was somewhat low and slightly hoarse.

"The voice has changed."

In Jiang Yi's secret realm, Jiang Chen once had a direct dialogue with Jiang Yi's soul.

He realized that the voice he heard back then was Jiang Yi's own voice. Even if Jiang Yi was only in a soul state at the time, he would inevitably retain his original voice when he manifested human form.

The voice has changed now.

Another thing that caught Jiang Chen's attention was that Jiang Yi didn't smell of blood at all.

He went to hunt down the armies of dragons and demons, and only returned after half a day. He must have gone through many battles.

With his strength, there must have been quite a few dragon demons who died at his hands; how could there be no bloodshed at all?

Not only was there no smell of blood, but the murderous intent was also completely suppressed.

This would be normal under normal circumstances, but it became unusual right after the war ended.

The soldiers still cleaning up the battlefield outside the fortress reeked of blood and carried a chilling aura of killing intent. And what was Jiang Yi doing here? Why did he come to Fortress Nine? Someone took off from inside the fortress; it was Wang Lin.

Normally, Wang Lin handles everything in Fortress Nine. Ye Chenshi only steps in when he's overwhelmed. "Jiang Yi?" Wang Lin's tone was strange as he looked Jiang Yi up and down. Jiang Yi was also looking him up and down. "Level 92, low-level god." There was a hint of disdain in his tone.

Wang Lin couldn't discern Jiang Yi's level, but he could sense the other's power. Standing before him, he felt a strong sense of oppression.

He knew that this was due to the vast difference in strength between the two sides.

The opponent is so strong, and his name is Jiang Yi...

Wang Lin suddenly realized something, "You are... the God of Justice?"

Jiang Yi said, "It's me. Open the formation, I want to go in."

Wang Lin exclaimed in surprise, "Are you really the God of Righteousness? Didn't you perish more than 600 years ago?"

Jiang Yi sneered, "I didn't die, I was just in a deep sleep. Now I'm resurrected. Open the formation, I'm going in."

Jiang Chen listened from the side and muttered, "This is the third time, and his tone is even more urgent than before. What does he want to do?" Jiang Chen was already certain that Jiang Yi must have a purpose in coming here, but he didn't know what that purpose was.

Fortress Nine is the endpoint of the Eternal Wall formation and also its strongest point. It's close to the entrance to the Abyss, making it the most intense battleground.

Apart from that, Fortress Nine was no different from the other fortresses. Jiang Chen thought of the Demon-Slaying Tower; if there was any difference, it was the Demon-Slaying Tower.

But he immediately rejected that idea.

The Demon-Slaying Tower and Jiang Yi are not products of the same era. The Demon-Slaying Tower did not exist in Jiang Yi's time.

"Then what is he for?"

Jiang Chen remained silent, wanting to see what Jiang Yi's purpose was.

Wang Lin was cautious enough not to activate the formation directly.

Instead, a message was sent. Soon, more people flew over from the fortress; Ye Chenshi and his group arrived, including Old Hong.

Old Hong came to support and oversee Fortress 9 this time. The great battle had just ended, and he hadn't left yet.

Actually, when Lao Hong arrived, the battle was already nearing its end, and he hadn't even made a move.

Judging from his appearance, his relationship with Ye Chenshi seems to have improved.

Jiang Chen just brought news about Jiang Yi, but he only told Lao Hong and didn't even tell Ye Chenshi.

The moment Ye Chenshi saw Hong Yi, his body trembled violently. "You are the God of Righteousness?"

Jiang Yi frowned as he looked at Ye Chenshi. "Who are you?"

Ye Chenshi bowed to Jiang Yi.

"Junior Ye Chenshi greets the Righteous God!"
