His body was covered with wounds caused by the explosion.

"Don't scare us!" The players were a bit panicked. What did this mean?

Could it be that an important NPC was about to die?

Blood seeped from the corners of Beichen's mouth as he looked at the players gathering around him, "My mission has already been completed..."

"But demonic power still lingers in the ancient historical segments. From now on, it's up to you..."

"Always remember the mission of the Return Order Expedition, maintain the safety of the historical flow, infiltrate the historical segments of ancient times, annihilate Chi You's true form, and sweep away all demons..."

The players were a bit panicked. They thought it would be an easy win, but how did it end up being a narrow escape?

"Hey, don't mess around, you were so much stronger, how did you fail all at once?"

"Can't you hold on for a while? Can't you get some healing? How are we supposed to manage without the City Lord in the Return Order Fortress? Who will reimburse us from now on?"

"Is this an official setup? The plot kill is too deliberate, wake up!"

The players called out in unison, but Beichen had already closed his eyes and fallen into a deep sleep.

His body gradually became transparent and disappeared, transforming into vast righteous energy, blending into the mountains and rivers of this historical segment.

The fog lingered again in the players' affairs, signaling that today's joy was coming to an end.

"Ah? This session was too short!"

"Yes, we didn't even get to do the simulation trials, or the ultimate trials, and we went straight into the Return Order Expedition. The scene was grand, yes, but it feels like such a big setup for just one fight is a bit of a waste, isn't it?"

"Protest! A severe protest to the official!"

"See you all on the forums, goodbye!"

...

Shortly after, all the players had disappeared, leaving only Meng Yuan and Qishen in the entire historical segment.

Meng Yuan was tricky. Right when Beichen was fighting the Demon Lord Chi You, he had already run far away.

Just to prevent Chi You from becoming furious and affecting his real body.

After Chi You's self-destruction, Meng Yuan could have used righteous energy to restore Beichen's avatar, but he thought, why restore it? Beichen's avatar had already completed its historical mission; it was time to exit the historical stage!

Thus, Meng Yuan resolutely sent his avatar off.

The hardest battle had already been fought. From now on, just letting the players play freely would suffice to infiltrate the ancient historical segments.

"The Dark Sand" game still had to continue, so it was time for a change in operation.

"Let's begin."

Meng Yuan looked at Qishen.

Qishen nodded and began to float in the air, absorbing the remaining power.

The demonic power left behind by the four major demons and the vast amount of demonic power disintegrated and left behind by the Demon Lord Chi You when he was slain, all of it was continuously transformed into righteous energy and absorbed by Qishen.

Meanwhile, the mountains and rivers in the entire historical segment were constantly cleansed by the righteous energy during this process, gradually shedding their twisted black fog state, becoming sunny and picturesque.

Everything was back on track.

Qishen had finally reached her peak state, her hair dancing in the air as if a Goddess had descended.

"It's incredible, we actually defeated the Demon Lord Chi You..."

"Although we only defeated an avatar, not his main body, Chi You basically brought all his resources this time, and the power left in ancient times is not much."

"Now the power balance between both sides has become very uneven. As long as we proceed methodically forward, and completely slay Chi You's real body in the ancient segment, we might complete the magnificent feat that no Return Order has ever achieved!"

"It's simply unbelievable!"

The excitement on Qishen's face was evident. Obviously, among the Return Orders, there were many talents, but all fell short of this goal. However, Meng Yuan's achievement had already far surpassed any Return Order.

But Meng Yuan just smiled, "I don't plan on rushing into the ancient historical segments so soon."

Qishen was stunned for a moment, "Why?"

Her expression gradually turned serious, "Could it be...you were contaminated in the fight with the Demon Lord Chi You! You're not thinking of switching sides and joining the demons, are you?"

Seeing Qishen's wary expression, Meng Yuan was somewhat amused.

"What are you thinking! As cautious as I am, even if Chi You wanted to corrupt me, could he find where I am?"

Qishen nodded in realization, "Oh, right. So why then?"

Meng Yuan looked at the distant majestic mountains and rivers, gently strolled two steps, and asked Qishen, "Qishen, what do you think is the origin of demons?"

Qishen answered, "It's...people's forgetting and betrayal of history."

Meng Yuan nodded, "Yes, so we can indeed slay the Demon Lord Chi You, but the demons will never be eradicated, will they? As long as there is the slightest movement, they will always return."

Qishen fell silent for a moment, "Yes, that's one way to understand it."

Since ancient times, humans and demons had been engaged in relentless warfare. Although humans had achieved victory, demons were never completely annihilated.

They always hid in past historical segments, ready to make their comeback.

They would do everything in their power to distort people's memories of history, and once the opportunity arose, they would use specific historical segments as springboards to invade the real world.
