Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations

Not all stories were about their journey. Some told funny and embarrassing stories in the games, and some told the memories that were engraved in their bones.

“About the most unforgettable thing in my memory...

“What I’m going to say might not be closely related to the games that much, but I feel like I have to say it.”

Most of the prior submissions were funny. When Ning Bi read this piece, the audience turned from happy to silent.

“This should be the last writing on the list and the one with the most votes,” Ning Bi said.

“What is a warrior? What is the Martial Dao that we’ve been pursuing?”

“We’ve spent all our lives on it but couldn’t find the answer.”

“However, when I saw the old man called the Sword Saint and the swordsman called No Name...”

“When I saw the magnificent duel on the top of the Forbidden City under the full-moon night sky, I suddenly understood it.”

“It represents an unbending spine!”

“It’s a presence that can merge with the sky and earth and can accommodate everything in the world.”

“It’s a will that makes us improve ourselves continuously and surpass our previous achievements.”

“This is the Martial Dao that we’ve been pursuing after.”

“Today, I’d like to thank you for teaching us that simple combat strength is nothing. Only with iron will and unbending spine can we become real warriors and pass down the Martial Dao to future generations.”

This piece was signed by Nalan Hongwu, Zong Wu, Liang Heihu... and all other warriors.

At this moment, everyone fell silent.

...

“Why do we cultivate?” Ning Bi continued.

“Eternity? Immortality? Perhaps. But even our ancestors couldn’t achieve it, how can we do it? In fact, from the very beginning, I felt like it is a ridiculous method for cultivators to fool others and themselves.”

“I only knew that in our cruel dog-eat-dog world, if you don’t cultivate and trample others, one day, others will trample you.”

“I happen to have this talent.”

“If I was asked about the purpose of cultivation, my answer would be trampling more people under my feet one day.”

“My mind changed when I saw those cultivators who fly on swords and ascend to the Immortal Realm and heard the shout, “I control my destiny, not the Heavens’!”

“I began to understand that our mission is searching for a way to go beyond this world... This is the Dao that our ancestors mentioned.

“Only at this moment did I truly feel that I don’t have to struggle and live under others’ threats. My life is mine; I’m a cultivator!”

All the cultivators fell silent in a daze.

A voice began to roar from the bottom of their hearts.

“Never give in to Heaven; never submit to fate. We’re this type of cultivator!”

– On Nanhua Square in the Nanhua Faction –

– In the Royal Courtyard in Dajin –

...

Every prosperous place was broadcasting this event live.

Memories flashed in their minds. Flying on swords... Sword 23...

“Perhaps one day, martial arts might be lost as time goes by, but the people who created the martial arts and their spirit will never lose their glory despite the erosion of time.”

“At this moment, perhaps we can proudly point at the world and yell, ‘We are cultivators!’”

“This is the spirit and presence in our minds!”

...

“I’m an assassin.”

“I once lived like a rat, hiding from people.”

“I hid in the filthiest places and did the filthiest business.”

“I felt lost since we had once lived in a nation full of sunshine.”

“We tried to stand under the sunshine again, but the situation went against our wishes.”

“I couldn’t even tell people my profession since I thought it was shameful.”

“But now, whenever I stood at a high point and looked down on the land like an eagle, I would want to dive down proudly and tell everyone that I’m an assassin!”

“Here, I’d like to salute to the master assassins again. By the way, we like Talon’s Assassin’s Creed skin very much!”

“May I ask all the assassins again; are you still lost? What’s your creed and faith?!” Ning Bi almost yelled out the last sentences.

“Nothing is true; everything is permitted!”

“Fight for freedom!”

Instantly, deafening roars came from the audience!

...

They didn’t settle down until a long while later.

– At this moment –

“I once thought that only people with supreme strength could be called saints. But when I reached this realm, I realized that it wasn’t true.”

“Now, I have changed my mind. I think that pure strength isn’t enough to be called a saint, but some people are the personification of true light; they deserve this word!”

“Humility, honor, sacrifice, courage... When I saw such existences, I began to understand what honor really means.”

“If someone asks me what miracles are and if I’ve seen one, I can proudly tell them that I saw one with my own eyes. It was a streak of light, a streak of light in the darkness.”

“I will tell them with great pride that this is a miracle!”

“If there’s a god that truly deserves our reverence, it’s here!”

At this moment, in both the West Continent and the Continent of the Immortal Village, all the busy squares and Spiritual Spell Visual Projections were broadcasting this scene live.

“In Holy Light we believe!”

Instantly, like thunder, the roars and yells seemed to devour everything in the world!

At this moment...

“After expressing our appreciation to many things, I think...” Qingyun Fairy said, “We need to thank a person the most since it’s he who brought us all this. Today is a special day because today is that person’s birthday.”

“Let’s give him our best wishes, okay?”

“Happy birthday-!”

“Ahh-! Today’s the shop owner’s birthday?!” The elves, the knights from the Golden Griffin Knight Legion, and all the other people were astonished.

Then, they yelled in surprise, “Happy birthday!”

Xiaoyue almost jumped up from her seat. “Aya! They didn’t tell me! You guys... I’m angry!”

Without thinking, she rushed toward the Jiuhua City Shop.

Not only the people on and off the stage and inside the shops, but the people before the livestream screens and Spiritual Spell Visual Projections yelled together. Like a tsunami, millions of people joined the chant.

Many people sat before the Spiritual Spell Visual Projections in big and small nations on the West Continent and watched the scene, not to mention those in the Continent of Immortal Relic.

At this moment, hearing the heart-felt wishes and seeing the huge cake that had suddenly appeared in the shop, Fang Qi felt like he wasn’t lonely in this otherworld.

“Here, we have one saying for Mr. Fang,” Ning Bi and Qingyun Fairy said together, “Don’t think that you have no friends on your journey; you are well known in the world!”

In a daze, Fang Qi watched the scene and the people before him.

It had always been him who brought these people endless surprises and pleasures.

But at this moment, his heart was truly stunned and stirred for the first time.
