Everyone holds the Ten Thousand Souls Banner? In our great nation of Yanhuang, everyone is a demon c

The world is vast and boundless, and the winds of change are blowing once more. Since the reshaping of the primordial era, humanity has ushered in an unprecedented "golden age"—an era in which the long-dormant war drums sound anew, and countless heroes flock to the land, each seeking and establishing their destined "peerless destiny." At this moment, their success is not only a manifestation of their individual will but also a pivotal moment in the operation of the entire era: when the flames of war ignite, the warriors are confident and ready to stride towards their own future.

The resounding call of the times

As the dawn broke through the embers of the Southern Wilderness volcano, casting its light upon the scorched earth, the battle banners of the Seven Realms fluttered, and the sound of horns echoed through the heavens. Ghostly mists rose from the Shadow Valley of the Northern Wilderness, the cold light of the Western Wilderness shimmered on the glaciers, holy radiance cascaded from the clouds of the Heavenly Palace, black flames devoured the void in the Demon Realm Abyss, the roars of beasts from the Nine Nether Demon Peak shook hearts, and lightning ripped through the silence atop Thunder Peak. One by one, cultivators—Iron Cavalry Vanguard, Ice Mage, Shadow Assassin, Holy Light Mage, Void Beast Demon Lord, Blood Tide Demon Emperor, and Thunder Peak Sword Immortal—gathered on the sacred platform, their faces reflecting unwavering resolve and hope.

Chen Xiu stood on the high platform, his iron armor gleaming, the Wheels of Life and Death firmly gripped on his wrists. He proclaimed loudly, "This is the best era. You have all found your own place. Today's battle is not for others, but for the glory and future of our race. Placement is settled, victory is assured!" Before his words had even finished, the crowd's hearts surged. Flames, ice crystals, light and shadow, holy energy, nothingness, beast roars, and thunder were already secretly circulating within their bodies at their fingertips.

Peerless Arrangement: Seven Paths Battle Formation
To ensure that every cultivator could unleash their strongest power at the optimal moment, Chen Xiu divided the battlefield into seven core array domains and tailored "peerless arrangements" for the lords of each domain:

Rapid Combo Attack: Prelude to Victory
As soon as the war drums sounded, the seven-pronged attack streaked across the sky like seven meteors:

In the southern wilderness, scorched earth and raging flames roared forth, and iron cavalry swept across the battlefield, tearing open the enemy's first line of defense.
In the Western Wilderness, ice walls suddenly rose up, and lightning struck down like a heavenly tribulation, instantly sealing off all escape routes;
In the northern wilderness, shadowy blades and thousands of assassins traverse the battlefield, precisely killing the enemy's commander.

The Heavenly Palace, bathed in holy light, protected the frontline warriors, while the Holy Shield continuously healed their wounds.
In the Demon Realm, a void rift twists the mind, and the roars of ten thousand beasts sweep across the flanks;

In the Nine Netherworlds, a blood tide surged, and a beast tide rose alongside, pouring down;

Lei Feng let out a long roar, summoning lightning to split the sky, and with a single sword stroke, pierced the sun, reaping the remaining enemies.

This series of combined attacks, with lightning speed, swept away everything in its path, shaking heaven and earth. The heavens and earth echoed, the mountains and rivers trembled, and the blood of warriors from all sides surged, their hearts shattered—they had witnessed firsthand the supreme power of the optimal placement: war had become simple and decisive from that moment on.

Consensus among all beings, enlightenment for the future
As the last speck of dust settled, tranquility returned to the Seven Realms. The people, some tending to their wounded, some clapping, some sighing, all marveled at the brilliance of this arrangement.

"This moment truly marks the era of victory for everyone!"

They knew that no one could predict the future, but their victory at this moment was the best testament to their abilities.

The future may be shrouded in mist, but this special arrangement makes it less uncertain.
The soldiers' hearts echoed with the thought, "Success will be achieved in this very moment!"

Chen Xiu ascended the platform, gazing at the surrounding fields, his golden halberd flashing, his heart filled with heroic spirit:

"You have all found your perfect place."
With speed and determination, the best plan was completed; though the future is uncertain, at this moment,
We use victory as our vessel.
Soon we will sail to the vast, untamed shores beyond!

The start of a new sea route
The best of times shines because of the careful arrangement of all the warriors;
The greatest victory is achieved through the combined attack of the seven formations, making them invincible.

As the new sun rises again, all races will usher in a new era:

Humanity rose to prominence through dedicated resettlement.
And based on this, we will explore deeper secrets and higher realms.

They understood:

The future is not determined by fate.
And the determination to take each step forward.

In this unprecedented war of the "best era," countless qualified soldiers completed their resettlement at the fastest speed and won the greatest victory; and their future will also set sail at this moment, destined to be even more brilliant and glorious.

As heaven and earth shattered and all things awakened, since the great calamities of antiquity, human cultivators have repeatedly teetered on the brink of life and death, finally ushering in this "golden age"—a time when everyone can tailor the most suitable path for themselves, achieving their long-desired future with swift determination and meticulous planning. What follows is an extraordinary journey that will shake the entire land.

The prelude to the best era
Thousands of miles away, strange phenomena suddenly appeared in the seven domains of the Southern Wilderness, Northern Wilderness, Western Wilderness, Heavenly Palace, Demon Realm, Nine Netherworld, and Thunder Peak. Blazing flames soared into the sky, ice crystals shattered walls, ghostly mist swallowed clouds, holy light scorched the heavens, the void was torn apart, demonic tides roared, and thunder boomed. Countless cultivators looked up at the sky, their hearts surging—this was an era symbolizing a turning point in their destinies, the best of times, and also the most dangerous of times.

On the Heavenly Desolate Sacred Platform, Chen Xiu held the Twin Wheels of Life and Death, clad in black iron armor, his eyes blazing. He proclaimed loudly, "You are all qualified warriors. Today's battle is not for others, but for yourselves—for the best future, to devise your own destiny!" War drums sounded in unison, and the crowd responded, thus beginning an unparalleled grand feast.
