With this bow, time swept across the dark star system like the wind.
There seemed to be a slumbering soul slowly awakening from nothingness in the four great starfields as the wind-like years rose.
With this bow, the heroic souls that had fought to the death in the past. Whether it was glory, pride, helplessness, or fighting to survive, the souls of the Inner Realm cultivators that had died in the endless war seemed to appear as Wang Lin's words echoed!
A sense of sorrow spread out from all four star systems in the Inner Realm.
This sorrow came from the heroic souls. Although they had died, their remnant souls still existed. They silently watched the Inner Realm and didn't enter the reincarnation cycle!
They weren't willing to enter the reincarnation cycle, they couldn't enter the reincarnation cycle. They could only turn into resentment and sorrow. They wanted to wait for the day all the Outer Realm cultivators died. They wanted to wait for the day the Realm Sealing Formation completely collapsed. They wanted to see if this endless war would end one day!
In the four major star systems, as Wang Lin clasped his hands, he didn't raise his head. He maintained his bowing posture and hid the sorrow in his eyes.
Illusory souls appeared one by one. The first to appear were the ancient cultivators from before the Realm Sealing Formation existed in the Inner and Outer Realms.
They were the first people of the Ancient Celestial Realm. They were taught cultivation by the Ancient Celestial Realm. They were the first people born under the Heavenly Dao.
Their clothes made them look like savages, but the auras coming from their souls were filled with comprehension of the world. One day when the Realm Sealing Formation appeared, they were filled with confusion and fear. They wanted to charge out of the Realm Sealing Formation, but in the end, they all died.
At this moment, after too long, their heroic souls were summoned by Wang Lin. They appeared in the four major star systems and silently looked at Wang Lin in the Cloud Sea.
What appeared after them were the ancient cultivators that had lived in the four Celestial Realms before they were destroyed. To be more accurate, they were the celestials of the four Celestial Realms!
Although they weren't true celestials of the Immortal Astral Continent, in Wang Lin's heart, they were celestials!
In order to rush out of the Inner Realm, countless had died to the Realm Sealing Formation.
The Outer Realm had invaded again and again, causing countless deaths. Although Wang Lin bowed his head, he could vaguely feel those mournful souls.
He clearly remembered the first time he saw the statue of the Scatter Thunder Clan in the Seven-Colored Land. Through the statue's memory, he saw the shocking scene of the celestials trying their best to rush out of the Realm Sealing Formation, but in the end, they all died.
For the first time since their deaths, the discarnate souls of the dead immortals had been summoned from the void.
After the celestials came the era of the cultivation world. The souls of the cultivators that had died in the 100-year war appeared from the void. Wang Lin had seen many of them before, but most of them were strangers to him. However, the countless souls that appeared in the four Celestial Realms had all died for the Inner Realm. Their deaths would be remembered by future generations!
Since ancient times, in the wars between the Inner and Outer Realms, far too many cultivators and lives had died, but no one had ever offered sacrifices to these dead cultivators. Not in ancient times, not in the Celestial Realm. Only now, only Wang Lin was the first to offer sacrifices to the souls of those who had died in battle!
"Are you all willing to become the eternal formation spirit of this formation?"
Wang Lin raised his head and looked at the heroic souls formed by resentment in the four star systems and spoke loudly.
As Wang Lin spoke, the countless souls in the Inner Realm suddenly distorted and turned into invisible auras that shot toward Wang Lin.
The first to arrive before Wang Lin was an ancient cultivator. His appearance was blurry and his soul eyes were dim. He appeared 1,000 feet before Wang Lin and looked profoundly at Wang Lin. Then he clasped his hands at Wang Lin, who was still bowing.
After bowing, his soul rushed into the wheel formed by the three essences and willingly became one of the formation spirits!
Behind him, the souls that had died in the ancient war arrived one by one. They all stood 1,000 feet away from Wang Lin and bowed toward Wang Lin. They didn't hesitate to enter the wheel formation.
Although they still had resentment from when they died, at this moment, they fused with the Yin and Yang Formation without any regrets. They were going to become the formation spirit. They were going to die for the Inner Realm. Even after they died, they were going to sacrifice their souls to the Inner Realm.
They were heroes in life and heroic souls in death!
One, two, ten thousand, twenty thousand, one hundred thousand, hundreds of thousands!
All the ancient souls that had died for the Inner Realm appeared one by one and arrived before Wang Lin. There were one, hundreds, or tens of thousands of them. They all bowed toward the wheel formation!
After them were the ancient cultivators, the celestials from the four Celestial Realms. They came from different Celestial Realms, but before they died, the blood of the Inner Realm flowed through their bodies. Even though they had been dead for so many years, their souls were still the souls of the Inner Realm!
They were born as people of the Inner Realm and died as souls of the Inner Realm!
They appeared before Wang Lin one by one. Like their ancestors, they clasped their hands at Wang Lin and then fused with the formation.
This scene set off a monstrous wave in the hearts of countless people. Wang Lin still maintained his bowing posture and didn't move at all.
Behind those celestial souls were the cultivators that had died in this 100-year war. They all arrived one by one. Some familiar and some unfamiliar souls bowed before Wang Lin and charged into the Human Chaotic Reversal Formation without any hesitation!
Among these people, some were enemies with Wang Lin, and some were friends with Wang Lin. However, at this moment, their souls were filled with the same intent to protect the Inner Realm with the last of their strength!
A tragic aura spread across the star system. This scene was seen by all the Outer Realm cultivators that had rushed over from all over the Ancient Star System. They were all terrified by this scene and their minds trembled.
In the Inner Realm and Allheaven, the remaining Inner Realm cultivators on the 19 planets stood up without anyone to lead them. They clasped their hands at the stars.
Master South Cloud, Situ Nan, Master Hong Shan, Qing Lin, and all the other cultivators stood up without exception. Their expressions were filled with sorrow and respect as they bowed at the stars!
Not only them, but the few remaining Inner Realm cultivators in the other three star systems all stood up. The scenes of the past war appeared before their eyes as they bowed at the stars!
There was also Mu Bingmei and company, who were still a distance away from Wang Lin in the Cloud Sea. The three of them had sad expressions as they clasped their hands at the shadows that passed by them.
At the same time, in the Brilliant Void, in an empty space, Old Devil Zhan had a rare gloomy expression. He stood there and looked at the souls floating by him with a complicated gaze.
"Lu Cai … Li Dong, Chang Yi … Are you all here as well … You all died a long time ago, and only I still exist … At that time, we were also guessing why the Inner and Outer Realms were fighting … I didn't expect fate to make a fool out of us. I was the one who pushed for this war that made me angry and resentful back then …" We made an oath together to change all of this, to destroy the Realm Sealing Formation and let the Inner Realm walk out of this world … However, you all don't know what I learned from the celestial opportunity. I learned a shocking secret … "
Old Devil Zhan's eyes were filled with sadness. Although he was the number one cultivator in the cave, he was still human, one of the beings born here.
He was not ruthless. At this moment, when Wang Lin summoned the souls, his heart felt a stab of pain. He stood there in a daze and his eyes were filled with confusion. After a long time, he clasped his hands and bowed at the souls that had died.
However, just as he bowed, his expression became twisted and painful. It was as if a force had erupted from his body and was preventing him from bowing to these lower realm ants!
"I can help you, but you can't stop me from bowing to these souls that made me feel guilty!"
Old Devil Zhan clenched his teeth and said word for word. He ignored the force that erupted from his body and bowed toward the distant star system.
At the same time, in the Summoned River, there was a meteor that Wang Lin hadn't found when he swept it with his divine sense. Tian Yunzi slowly opened his eyes.
His expression was calm as he sensed that the summoned souls in the surrounding starry sky were all standing there silently.
After a long time, he walked out of the meteor and stood on it. He looked at the countless souls that had left.
"I should be the first to awaken my memory aside from the two of them … But no matter what, I was once one of the Inner Realm cultivators … All of you deserve a bow from the Old Man." Tian Yunzi let out a sigh and waved his sleeves. He clasped his hands and bowed.
Also in the Summoned River, there was a person that not even Tian Yunzi had noticed. This person was a young man from the rift to the Ancient Celestial Realm where Wang Lin's divine retribution went.
He was sitting there, and his body was a blur; it was impossible to see him clearly.
When he opened his eyes, there was a flash of light in the young man's eyes and he revealed a look of contempt.
"What's the use of offering sacrifices to these lowly souls!?
They are just a bunch of caged birds. I can't find the place Uncle-Master Ma mentioned, so I won't look. Calculating the time, Uncle-Master is about to awaken. This Seven Dao Sect cave is becoming more and more interesting … "
