Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

Youzhou border

In a desolate wilderness, two disheveled figures were struggling to move forward.

It was Wang Teng and Wang Qianshan who were on the run.

The two had evaded more than a dozen waves of attacks from the Yunlan Sect, and were already exhausted.

Wang Qianshan's clothes were tattered, a deep wound on his chest that exposed bone was still bleeding, his face was pale, and his steps were extremely unsteady.

He hadn't taken more than a few steps when his body suddenly stiffened, and he felt a sweet taste in his throat.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood and staggered to grab onto a tree trunk beside him.

"Young Master...we're almost at the border of Youzhou..."

Wang Qianshan's breath was weak, and his voice was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you on the road ahead. Please take care of yourself..."

Wang Teng's expression changed, and he quickly stepped forward to support the swaying body, his eyes reddening.

"Uncle Qianshan, don't talk nonsense, hang in there!"

"Once we get to Youzhou, I will immediately find a doctor to treat your injuries. You will definitely recover."

Wang Qianshan shook his head slightly, a weak smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

He knew his own injuries well; his heart meridian was severed, and there was no way to save him.

"Young Master, don't waste your energy..."

He gently pushed Wang Teng's hand.

"You go quickly, don't worry about me. If we delay any longer, the Yunlan Sect people will catch up, and neither of us will be able to escape."

"No!" Wang Teng refused decisively, squatting down without further ado.

"I'll carry you on my back; I'll never abandon you!"

Wang Qianshan wanted to dodge, but he was too weak to move and could only be carried steadily on Wang Teng's back.

"If I don't let you die, you must live."

Wang Teng's voice was choked with emotion as he carried him step by step toward Youzhou.

Wang Qianshan, perched on the boy's thin back, looked at that resolute figure with eyes full of satisfaction and softly responded:

"Alright, I'll do as you say, young master..."

The sound grew fainter and fainter until it disappeared completely.

After walking for about 15 minutes,

Wang Teng noticed that the person on his back was a little cold, and his heart tightened. He called out:

"Uncle Qianshan?"

no respond.

His heart sank, and he stopped, carefully putting Wang Qianshan down.

Upon closer inspection, Wang Qianshan had a faint smile on his lips.

Yet, a deep sense of resentment lingered within him; his eyes were tightly closed, and he had already breathed his last.

The image of his clansmen dying tragically flashed through his mind.

Now, the last person in the world who protected him is gone.

Wang Teng trembled, and the tears he had been holding back burst forth instantly.

He held Wang Qianshan's cold body tightly, knelt on the ground, and let out a heart-wrenching roar:

"Uncle Qianshan—!"

The sound echoed through the mountains and forests, startling a flock of birds into flight.

The boy's cries were filled with despair and hatred, but also concealed a determination to temper his will.

Yunlan Sect, I, Wang Teng, will avenge this grudge!

Overwhelmed by emotional breakdown and severe injuries, Wang Teng could no longer hold on, his vision went black, and he fainted.

Just as he collapsed unconscious,

Suddenly, a dazzling, multicolored light enveloped his body, the light slowly swirling around him.

His wounds and the damage to his cultivation foundation caused by the pursuit were all being repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye.

boom!

In a short while, his cultivation level surged from the early stage of the Celestial Realm to the late stage of the Celestial Realm!

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Teng slowly opened his eyes.

Upon waking, he instantly noticed the change in his cultivation level, but he felt no joy, only a deep sense of sorrow.

He picked up Wang Qianshan's body and found a relatively scenic spot.

Using his spiritual power, he felled trees and personally crafted a simple coffin. He then dug a grave and properly buried Wang Qianshan.

"Uncle Qianshan, you and your people wait."

He kowtowed three times to the grave, his voice hoarse but carrying a fierce intensity.

"If I, Wang Teng, don't raze the Yunlan Sect to the ground, I swear I'm not worthy of being called a man!"

After saying that, he wiped his face and turned to walk deeper into Youzhou.

His back was slender, yet it exuded a resolute determination to fight to the death.

……

Eternal Night Space, Monarch's Palace.

Suddenly, a system notification sounded in Ye Junlin's mind.

[Ding! Detected that the chosen one of this world has awakened and shows signs of corruption!]

[Task issued: It is recommended that the host recruit this character! A mystery gift pack will be awarded upon completion of the task]

Ye Junlin was slightly taken aback, then raised an eyebrow: Hmm? "The Chosen One? Am I not?"

[Host, you're nothing. You're at best an accident.]

Ye Junlin immediately rolled his eyes and mentally shouted in annoyance:

"Damn it! You come out here, buddy, I'll make you pay!"

[Host, I'm telling the truth. The Chosen One is the chosen one selected by the will of Heaven to face calamity, while you are an outsider from another world who accidentally intruded and disrupted the arrangements of Heaven.]

Ye Junlin curled his lip and stopped arguing with the system:

"Fine, if it's not, it's not. I might not even want to be the chosen one!"

"I've accepted the mission. Do you have any information about this chosen one?"

Name: Wang Teng

Age: 128 years old

[Cultivation Level]: Late Stage of Celestial Being

[Origin]: Originally the young master of the Wang family in Yunzhou, Central Region. His family was wiped out, and he awakened his destiny during his escape, causing his cultivation to greatly increase...

"Good heavens! The entire clan sacrificed themselves to the heavens, their magical power is boundless! No wonder they are the chosen ones of destiny."

Ye Junlin clicked his tongue.

Where is Wang Teng now?

Currently located within Youzhou, where the Underworld is situated.

"On the territory of the underworld? That makes things easier."

A hint of a smile flashed in Ye Junlin's eyes.

"When the time comes, we'll have Di Shitian and the others send people to find them and bring them under our command."

……

The next day. Eternal Night Plaza.

Xiong Ba, Xie Huang, Li Maozhen, Li Siyuan, and Zhu Youwen were already waiting there.

Before long, a light flashed from the direction of the Time Tower, and several figures flew out and landed on the square.

It was Wu Wudi, Yin Zhong, Di Shitian, Sister, Jiang Chen, Hou Qing, Hanba, Jiang Yuyan, Hei Bai Wuchang, and others.

The group gathered, looked each other over, and began to get to know each other.

The older sister blinked, looked at Li Maozhen, Li Siyuan, and Zhu Youwen, and said in a carefree manner:

"King Qi, you old thief, you big black guy, the three of you are here too!"

Zhu Youwen, Li Maozhen, and Li Siyuan all bowed helplessly.

"Firefly Corpse Ancestor, it's been a long time."

"Firefly's gone, I'm the elder sister!"

The older sister stood with her hands on her hips, correcting him with an air of self-righteousness.

The three of them were speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

The surrendered official stepped forward and spoke in a calm tone:

"It's fate that we can all meet again in this world. Let's put aside all past grievances and entanglements."

"From now on, let us work together with one heart and one mind, and never let the past affect our unity."

Everyone nodded and exchanged pleasantries, gradually creating a harmonious atmosphere.

Just then, Ye Junlin's voice came from the sky, clear and steady, resounding throughout the entire square:

"After you return to the Underworld, immediately send people to find a man named Wang Teng within the territory of Youzhou and bring him under the command of the Underworld."

Emperor Shitian, Xiong Ba, and the other members of the Underworld all turned around and bowed towards the direction of the Monarch's Hall:

"We obey!"

Then, everyone stepped into the spatial teleportation array and headed towards the underworld.
