"Whew."
In the room, Li Wei had already taken off his headphones. He had returned to reality from the consciousness of directing the Azure Flood Dragon, and couldn't help but exhale a long breath.
This war was larger than any he had faced before. On the battlefield, battles were essentially king against king. Once they reached the Golden Core stage and above, they not only had to find their opponents but also had to find ways to use their spiritual power to attack the enemy's weaker cultivators, while at the same time constantly guarding against the enemy's experts attacking their own weaker cultivators.
In addition to this, there were various formations, totems, spirit artifacts, and the like that needed to be dealt with at any moment. However, the weaker cultivators couldn't be underestimated either; the Azure Flood Dragon had been slightly injured by a powerful technique cast by thousands of Wu Clan members using a single totem.
After breathing a sigh of relief.
He looked at the event log.
[You used the skill 'Ancestor's Warm Embrace', collectively healing your clansmen.]
[You used the skill 'Ancestor's Raging Inferno'...]
During this war, his mouse and keyboard were nearly broken from overuse.
A series of messages came into view.
[Your descendant Li Yaotie killed enemies on the battlefield. He witnessed the spiritual might of the Azure Flood Dragon, as well as the Azure Flood Dragon's ability to transform a second time, and the machine's ability to seize Heaven and Earth spirit Qi. He was deeply inspired. When the Raging Sky Flood Dragon killed enemies, he was able to sense the powerful might unleashed by thunder and fire, greatly increasing comprehension. Acquired trait: Art of Explosion]
[He is deeply interested in explosions, and deeply feels that is a man's violence. When researching the explosion of Heaven and Earth spirit Qi, comprehension is increased by 10%]
...
[Your descendant Li Tianyi, gathering the might of many seniors, played the zither on the battlefield. Feeling the killing intent in the midst of battle, he successfully composed the zither piece "Azure Cloud region Battle Song," comparable to a Profound-rank technique, and received the recognition of Azure Cloud region's Destiny. When "Azure Cloud region Battle Song" is played within the Azure Cloud region, the recovery speed of Azure Cloud region cultivators' Heaven and Earth spirit Qi is increased by 20%, and the strength of their Heaven and Earth spirit Qi is increased by 5%.]
[Your descendant successfully composed a Profound-rank technique. His profession, Musician, has been upgraded to – Battle Musician]
[He is more inclined to compose battle songs. When playing battle songs, the effect is increased by 10%.]
[Acquired trait: Slacking Off]
[He discovered that he is more useful to the war effort by playing music at the rear of the battlefield. After a lifetime of hard work, a strange thought appeared in his mind.]
...
[Under the orders of the Second Master, your descendant Li Tianyue commanded the formations of the Azure Cloud region cultivators on the battlefield at the start of the war. She directed the cultivators to resist the enemy through formations. Under the clash of formations and techniques, her Rank 8 Formation Master profession broke through to – Rank 7 Formation Master.]
[Your descendant Li Tianyue, facing such a large-scale war, remained calm and fearless. Many times, she led cultivators to change the course of the battle, always able to find the weak points of the enemy on the battlefield. Acquired trait: Li Clan Female General]
[Intelligence increased, prestige increased when facing cultivators, morale increased when leading cultivators.]
...
[Congratulations, your family led Azure Cloud region to victory in the war to retake Azure Cloud region! They repelled the six divisions of the Wu Clan, killing hundreds of thousands of Wu Clan members!]
[During the war, your ancestral spirit tablets protected every member of the family. Although two clansmen and the wife of one clansman died, your clansmen could still feel the personal protection of the ancestors.]
[Gained Family Will +20]
[Current Family Will: 42]
"So, some clansmen still died?"
Li Wei was momentarily stunned. The Li clan now had many members. He had done his utmost to protect everyone, but this was, after all, a battlefield. Even though he had clicked his mouse until it was practically smoking, there were still moments of oversight.
Those were descendants of Li Tianniu.
[Your descendant Li Kuangmang charged forward bravely on the battlefield. Wu Clan cultivators attempted to use a totem to summon a Golden Core stage beast soul to attack the Azure Cloud region formations. Li Kuangmang, in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, fearless of life and death, found many artifacts on the body of a fallen comrade. He charged forward desperately, and in the final moment of his life, detonated his Life-Bound Spirit Artifact!]
[Your descendant Li Changqiu blocked a fatal blow for his brother, Li Changfeng, who was preparing a formation. Before dying, he implored his brother Li Changfeng to look after his pregnant wife.]
[Li Tianniu's wife, Ming Xue, on the battlefield, for the first time, did not stand by her husband's side. She mounted the Demon King gifted by Li Tianshuang and intercepted the Wu Clan army that was charging down from the sky towards her husband and many sisters who were locked in fierce combat. She died in battle.]
At this moment, in the scene, Li Dalong was already barely able to walk with assistance.
A month had passed since the war. Outside the border city, the Azure Cloud region cultivators, under the command of the experts, were cleaning up the battlefield, carrying away the intact corpses of the cultivators. On each of them, there would be a nameplate recording their name, or their name carved onto their body. This was also the first preparation every cultivator made before going into battle.
They all clearly knew that on this battlefield, every single one of them might die, but every single one of them came with many hopes.
The hope to live.
The hope that their corpses would be intact, found by their comrades, and buried in their homeland with honor and the songs of future generations.
The hope...
that Azure Cloud region would forever be their Azure Cloud region.
