Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

"In despair, a young man named Huangdi miraculously survived. He received guidance from a goddess and, with the help of a divine dragon, overcame numerous hardships and finally defeated Chiyou, who was controlled by a demonic sword, and destroyed the eighty terrifying bronze giants."

Xiao Li's gaze remained fixed on Qin Chuan, carrying a sense of fatalistic solemnity:

"The last one remaining is the strongest War God, forged with a fallen star as its core. The goddess knew that the power of this star could create life, but it could also destroy all living beings. Human greed could never resist the temptation of inner demons. Therefore, she separated the key to activating and controlling the War God—the 'Dragon Soul'—from the War God and entrusted it to the ninth son of the dragon, the Pixiu, for protection."

She pointed to the small animal on her shoulder.

"As for the true form of the War Demon God, it was sealed by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden with supreme divine power deep within the ancient kingdom of Loulan, far from the hustle and bustle of the world. It was guarded by the people of Loulan for generations and could never be opened."

After the story was told, there was silence around the campfire, with only the mournful sound of the wind sweeping across the sand dunes.

Zi Nu and Nong Yu were already engrossed in listening, their faces filled with shock.

Ancient myths are presented so vividly before our eyes.

Xiao Li's gaze refocused on Qin Chuan's face, her clear eyes carrying a piercing question:

"Now, you who are pursuing the God of War, tell me, will you become the next Chi You? When you hold that power capable of overturning heaven and earth in your hands, how can you guarantee that you won't be devoured by it and become a new source of disaster?"

Qin Chuan remained silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled softly.

There was no mockery in that laughter, only a calm composure born of experience and absolute confidence.

He slowly drew the sword from his waist—the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow.

The blade was ancient and its lines were smooth. Under the campfire, it gleamed with a cold, eerie light, and a fierce and domineering aura was faintly revealed, causing the surrounding air to freeze.

"This sword is called the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow."

Qin Chuan's voice was deep and powerful:

"Its ferocity has terrified countless people. It has thirsted for the blood of powerful enemies and cut through conspiracies and intrigues, but in my hands, its sharpness has never been stained with the blood of an innocent person."

With a flick of his wrist, the blade sliced ​​through the air, producing a clear, ringing sound, before swiftly returning to its sheath.

That fierce aura vanished instantly, as if it had never existed.

"The same principle applies to war, demons, and gods. My desire to obtain them is indeed for the sake of the Great Qin, and for the conquest of other countries in the world."

Qin Chuan looked directly into Xiao Li's eyes, his gaze frank and sharp:

“But my purpose is not to have all people kneel at my feet and submit to me. Rather, it is to end the world’s strife and utterly trample 'war' itself under my feet! To unify the world, to bring peace to the four seas, and to free the common people from the suffering of war. This is the 'conquest' I seek!”

A flicker of emotion crossed Xiao Li's eyes, but she remained steadfast:

"Chi You was once a warrior who yearned for peace and protected all living beings. How similar is his initial intention in taking up the Chi You Sword to what you are saying now? Power can corrupt people's hearts, and ambition can grow unknowingly."

“I am different from Chi You.”

Qin Chuan's answer was resolute and carried an unquestionable authority:

"I am determined to obtain the Demon God. If you have any doubts or worry that I will repeat the same mistakes, you might as well stay by my side."

He took a step forward, and an invisible aura pressed down like a mountain, causing the campfire to flicker.

"This is oversight, and it's your only option."

Qin Chuan's tone was calm, yet it contained an absolute sense of power:

"Even if you are the embodiment of the Goddess's Tears, you have no chance of winning against me."

"The incarnation of the Goddess's Tears?!"

Zi Nu and Nong Yu gasped in disbelief as they stared at the teardrop necklace shimmering with starlight on Xiao Li's chest.

It turns out that gods really do exist in this world!

And this pure young girl before us is actually the embodiment of the sorrow and love of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden!

Xiao Li's body trembled almost imperceptibly; Qin Chuan had clearly seen through her true nature.

She looked down at the Goddess's Tear on her chest, then looked up to meet Qin Chuan's all-knowing gaze, and remained silent for a moment.

“You’re right,” Xiao Li’s voice remained calm, but with a hint of determination, “I truly cannot defeat you. But…”

She raised her head, her eyes clear and firm:

"If you ultimately fail to control the War God and are consumed by its power, transforming into a new demon, I can sacrifice myself at the most crucial moment to detonate the power of the Goddess's Tears and destroy the War God's core. Even if the price is my complete annihilation."

She paused for a moment, then made a decision:

“I will follow you and watch over you as you said, until I see the future you promised, the ‘end of war,’ or until I fulfill my final duty as a guardian.”

"A wise choice."

A subtle alliance of supervision and being supervised was silently established between the two amidst the desolate desert.

Dawn pierces the darkness of the desert, bathing the ancient city of Loulan in a sacred golden glow.

The strange buildings nestled beside the vast oasis, like a mirage in the desert.

Qin Chuan and his group of four, along with the little Pixiu, did not disturb the city's residents.

Guided by Xiao Li, they moved stealthily, like a breeze blending into the shadows, avoiding heavily guarded areas and heading straight for the ancient temple located in the deepest part of the city, which was designated as an absolute forbidden zone.

The heavy stone door opened silently under Qin Chuan's overwhelming internal force.

The temple was empty and dark inside, except for a huge, dark red sword with a ferocious shape stuck in the center of a high platform!

The sword blade is thick and covered with twisted dark patterns, resembling congealed blood.

A violent, ferocious, and seemingly ancient aura of slaughter swept over us, instantly filling the entire space and making the air thick and oppressive.

The space around the sword seemed to be slightly distorted, emitting a silent roar.

It is the Chi You Sword!

Only it can break the final seal that the goddess placed on the God of War.

Zi Nu and Nong Yu paled slightly and subconsciously took a half step back, using their internal energy to resist the evil energy that was eroding their minds.

Xiao Li's expression was also extremely solemn as she stared intently at Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan remained expressionless and strode forward.

The instant he reached out and grasped the dark red hilt of the sword—

A roar that seemed to come from the deepest hell exploded in Qin Chuan's mind!

A torrent of blood-red light erupted from the Chi You Sword, and the wails of countless vengeful spirits, their desire for slaughter, and their ambition for conquest surged like a raging torrent, wildly assaulting Qin Chuan's mind!

It intends to repeat its old tricks, dragging this powerful new master into an endless abyss of slaughter, making him its new puppet!

Zi Nu and Nong Yu's hearts jumped into their throats.

Xiao Li clenched her fists, the light of the Goddess's Tear flickering slightly, ready to strike at any moment.

However, Qin Chuan only frowned slightly.

The icy voice, like ancient ice, instantly froze the raging demonic sounds in his mind.

The terrifying power within him, as vast as the sea of ​​stars and far exceeding the limits of this world, crashed down like an invisible giant mountain!

"Om-!"

Chi You's sword trembled violently, and its blood-red light dimmed abruptly, like a flame that had been extinguished!

The violent corrosive force crashed into Qin Chuan's unbreakable will barrier, shattering it instantly like waves crashing against rocks!

"Either submit and serve me."

Qin Chuan's voice carried an undeniable, absolute will. With a slight exertion of force in his fingers, a power capable of shattering stars flowed through the sword:

"Or, I'll turn you into dust right now, eliminating any future trouble."

The trembling of Chi You's sword stopped.

The overwhelming ferocity receded like the tide, becoming utterly docile.

The twisted dark patterns on the sword seemed to soften slightly. It clearly sensed the terrifying, unimaginable power of the person before it, a power far beyond anything Chi You could ever match!

Resistance only leads to destruction.

The dark red sword emitted a low hum, like a whimper of submission.

It completely concealed all its sharpness and ferocity, becoming like an ordinary piece of iron, lying quietly in Qin Chuan's hand, without the slightest restlessness.

Xiao Li watched this scene with an indescribable shock filling her clear eyes.

She finally witnessed firsthand the true meaning of the "difference" Qin Chuan spoke of.

The allure of Chi You's sword seemed utterly laughable in his presence.

Holding the subjugated Chi You sword, led by Xiao Li, they traversed the more hidden passages deep within the temple, finally arriving at an unimaginably vast underground cavern.

In the center of the hollow, stood a colossal figure that reached the heavens and the earth!

That was a bronze giant nearly a hundred feet tall!

It is made entirely of a metal that shimmers with a strange dark gold color, with smooth and powerful lines, and mysterious runes covering the joints.

The giant's form was ferocious and majestic, with its eyes tightly closed, like a war god who had been sleeping for eternity.

Just by standing there quietly, a primordial aura capable of destroying the world rushes out, making one's soul tremble!

A world-destroying weapon crafted with a fallen star as its core, and personally sealed by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden!

The hollow dome resembled an artificial starry sky, casting a faint light that illuminated the silent colossus.

Qin Chuan took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

He raised the Chi You sword high, pouring his power—which surpassed the limits of the world—into it without reservation!

With a low shout, the Chi You Sword erupted with an unprecedented dark red light, transforming into a massive sword aura that tore through space, fiercely slashing towards the invisible barrier surrounding the God of War, the Goddess's Seal!

Boom! ...

The entire underground space trembled violently! Countless golden runes appeared, flickered, and wailed in the void, eventually shattering into pieces like broken glass!

The powerful seal set up by the goddess shattered under the combined effect of the sharpness of Chi You's sword and Qin Chuan's supreme power!

At the same time, the little Pixiu on Qin Chuan's shoulder let out a cheerful "woo-mi" sound, and a golden light shot from its small body toward the core of the Demon God's chest.

As it merged into that massive metal body, a pale golden light instantly flowed along the mysterious patterns all over the Demon God's body!

The Demon God of War, who had been silent for countless ages, suddenly opened his eyes!

Those were two burning golden flames!
