Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I’m dying Before I Got Cheats

Chapter 945: Aftermath of the Battle, Distribution of Merits
Editor: Henyee Translations

Cleaning up the remnants of tens of thousands of abyssal demons and their spoils took the Haoran Sect’s army of cultivators a full day and night.

Afterward, all resources reclaimed from the abyssal demons were handed over to Jiang Chengxuan for management. This marked the completion of post-battle tasks.

Subsequently, led by members of the Haoran Sect, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan returned to the Haoran Sect’s station.

The shocking news of this victorious battle quickly spread throughout the New World.

Some were astonished and disbelieving, suspecting the news to be a rumor spread by the Haoran Sect for self-promotion.

However, upon verification, the skeptics were forced to believe.

In the Qiankun Hall, disciples of the Five Elements Heavenly Sect were shocked, filled with anger and jealousy.

Again, it was the Haoran Sect and Jiang Chengxuan seizing all the glory and benefits.

As enemies of Jiang Chengxuan, they found no joy in the annihilation of tens of thousands of demonic forces.

“Jiang Chengxuan, Haoran Sect, is there really no stopping their rise?!”

…

Meanwhile, inspired by Jiang Chengxuan and the Haoran Sect’s battle, countless sects and cultivators reignited their fighting spirit, eager to avenge the years of bloodshed against the abyssal demons.

Under the intense battle, the flames of war to annihilate the abyssal demons ignited everywhere. The abyssal demons were continuously pursued by the humans.

Time passed, and five years later, the last fortress of the demonic forces fell under the spiritual treasures of human cultivators.

All the abyssal rifts in the New World were re-sealed and suppressed with arrays.

This epic war, spanning decades and involving humans, abyssal demons, demon beasts, eldars, and deepsea nomads, finally concluded.

It was perhaps the most terrifying crisis and the cruelest war the Celestial Floodgate Realm had faced in recent eras, with countless cultivators and powers perishing.

Even some Dao Mastery cultivators died, forcing Daolords to intervene and ancient ancestors to emerge.

This war not only secured the New World for the Celestial Floodgate Realm but also subdued the surrounding realms, ensuring their subservience for millennia.

With the resources from this war and the New World, the Celestial Floodgate Realm’s strength was unassailable in the millennia to come.

Soon, news of the abyssal demons being driven out of the New World and the foreign races being repelled spread throughout the Floodgate Realm, bringing joy to everyone’s hearts.

Even Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan at the Haoran Sect’s station couldn’t help but show joy on their faces.

Although the direction of the war was decided long ago, the arrival of its conclusion still brought relief.

Soon, a message came from the Pantheon Sect, calling for a war summary meeting and requesting the presence of all sects.

Without hesitation, Jiang Chengxuan, accompanied by Shen Ruyan, quickly arrived at the Pantheon Sect.

There, they encountered many familiar faces from various sects, including the Haoran Sect, Thunderclap Valley, Feitian Gate, the Qian Family, Divine Shadow Gate, Qiankun Hall, and the Five Elements Heavenly Sect.

Due to Jiang Chengxuan’s terrifying achievements in the war, many greeted him warmly upon their arrival, except for old foes from the Five Elements Heavenly Sect and Qiankun Hall, who looked on coldly.

Unperturbed, Jiang Chengxuan paid them no mind, knowing these sects could no longer cause any significant trouble.

The cultivators excitedly discussed the war until the arrival of the sect leaders and eventually, three Mahayana Daolords.

This signaled everyone to stop their casual conversations.

Jiang Chengxuan immediately noticed Qin Shenwu and respectfully greeted him. Qin Shenwu smiled back, clearly satisfied with Jiang Chengxuan’s accomplishments in the war.

However, what the cultivators hadn’t anticipated was the arrival of two venerable elders following the three Mahayana Daolords.

These elders, who walked in later, took the main seats, leaving everyone in shock.

These two were unknown to them, yet their unfathomable presence was palpable.

“Let us introduce these two venerable elders, Ancestor Limitless, Ancestor Heavenlight,” the Mahayana Daolords then clarified the identities of these two ancient powers from the human race, causing all present to pay their respects.

Almighties from the ancient era were not people they could afford to offend. These two were probably invincible existences in the current Celestial Floodgate Realm.

Even the most arrogant Five Elements Heavenly Sect was respectful to the two of them, even if they had someone in the Immortal Realm.

It was because these two might also ascend soon.

“Enough formalities. We are not concerned with your sect disputes. We are here solely to distribute merits, without any prejudice,” the two ancestors stated after ensuring their authority was acknowledged.

Their main purpose, besides making an appearance, was to distribute war spoils and merits to the various sects.

The contributions and sacrifices of the sects and their cultivators were to be documented for this purpose.

These merits would then be used to redistribute territories and resources in the New World, along with the war spoils, prioritizing those with greater contributions.

Under the decree of these two ancestors, there was no room for dispute.

Thus, the distribution of merits commenced, covering all sects that defended the nine domains and the New World.

Unsurprisingly, the Haoran Sect emerged as the most meritorious, thanks not only to Jiang Chengxuan’s numerous feats across the nine domains but also to the significant contributions of Qin Shenwu, a Mahayana Daolord.

The Five Elements Heavenly Sect and the Qiankun Hall, who were originally prepared to cause trouble at the meeting, were also silent at this moment.

Facing the two venerable ancestors, their schemes were futile.

Moreover, the hall master of the Qiankun Hall did not appear in the battle of Mahayana on the excuse of an injury.

Under such circumstances, the two ancestors were already very dissatisfied. How could they dare to protest again? They were simply courting death if they did so.

After two days, the post-war conference concluded, with Jiang Chengxuan receiving the highest commendations from the two ancestors.

Their closeness and expectations towards Jiang Chengxuan made many ponder the rising influence of the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley.

After imparting some advice to Jiang Chengxuan, the two venerable human ancestors departed from the Pantheon Sect to continue their mission.

With arrangements made by the ancestors, each sect received a satisfactory share of the rewards, leading to their respective departures.

Thus, the grand war officially came to an end.
