The Charm of Soul Pets

As the last trace of black Devil Fire extinguished, this war was finally over.

Everyone flew above the city. Wanxiang City’s outer city was already in ruins, corpses filled the entire main street.

Not only Wanxiang City, traces of war could be seen everywhere in the entire New Moon Land.

The subjugation alliance stronghold was sent into the blackhole and completely erased from this world.

This Ning Family army’s surprise attack also failed in the end. The invaders were executed on this land. Their blood continued to flow.

Everything seemed to have returned to calmness. However, the bloody scenes also told everyone how devastating this war had been.

Only a few city guards survived. Shen Mo was still not found, many acquaintances also left this world......

Chu Mu extinguished the flame on his body and levitated above the center of the city alone.

Looking down from the sky, he could see many people shedding tears in the city. Some shed tears of joy for survival, some for those who sacrificed themselves to protect others.

The war was over, they might have won.

However, when the people were liberated from the war and started crying, Chu Mu was at a loss. He wondered if he made the right choice to let New Moon Land fight back to the end.

He protected his family and city, but countless people lost their beloved and soul pets due to the war. After every war, there would be a group of people despairingly searching for their families amongst the corpses. They usually found their families within a pile of enemy corpses, some already disfigured, some could not even leave a proper corpse behind......

Chu Mu had seen plenty of such scenes. New Moon Land won this war, but this victory could not let those who died resurrect. The joy of victory could not wash away the sadness of losing one’s family.

Hence......

There were more people who would shed tears.

“Big brother, if I gain the full power of grandfather Messiah Tree, I definitely won’t let this happen again......” Ning Maner walked to Chu Mu’s sides with tears rolling in her eyes.

She received too great of an impact in this war, she could not hold back her tears no matter how strong her will was.

She witnessed the death of Holy Guard Chief, witnessed Shen Mo leading a small group of soldiers to buy time with their lives, and witnessed the city guards and Holy Guards falling one after another. Everyone should have their own meaning in their lives, why did they have to die due to the greed of the authority?

Chu Mu pulled the wailing Ning Maner into his bosom.

Chu Mu’s value was different from Ning Maner. War and slaughter filled the entire world, even families could become enemies......

He questioned himself whether this war should have been fought.

However, in fact, if he could choose again, he would still choose to fight.

If they did not fight, if they were chased away, if they were exiled, even more families would suffer. Compromisation, cowardness and dependance would not allow one to survive in this cruel world.

Just like many wild soul pets, they faced the threat of survival from the moment of their birth. Only those strong-willed soul pets which would fight back could survive.

Humans could be considered as another soul pet race. They similarly faced this elimination, death, survival and strengthening cycle. Once a war broke out and could not be avoided, they had to face it bravely!

......

During the dusk on the fourth day, New Moon Land army deployed to Eastern Wild Forest Stronghold and Heavenly Mountain began to return to the various cities.

The army executed a strict cleaning up and removed all threats hiding in New Moon Land.

One month later, when New Moon Land was certain that no more enemies would invade, New Moon Land began reconstructing the various major cities.

During this war, New Moon Land not only employed all of its armies, many free soul pet trainers volunteered to join the defense and became a New Moon Land member.

After the war, there were probably less than forty percent of them that survived.

After New Moon Land became independent, it developed rapidly and talented individuals appeared one after another.

After this war, New Moon Land declined and became quieter.

However, no matter how much New Moon Land declined, it had become an untouchable land within the human territory.

It was small with little population, but it was filled with many brave soul pet trainers. They defeated the subjugation alliance from eight major factions. When this news spread out, New Moon Land turned into a bloody sword in the human map, stabbing into the western border where Zhengming Continent and Wupan Continent connected!

No other factions dared to invade New Moon Land. There were even rumors that grudging cries of those subjugation alliance members who died could be heard in various places of New Moon Land.

Those cries also warned all potential invaders that the subjugation alliance which wanted to invade this land could only turn into grudged ghosts in the end.

At the same time New Moon Land became a sword in the human map, Dual Evil Half Devil Chu Mu’s name also spread out within the human territory.

Half Human had always been a mysterious topic with many discussions and guesses amongst people. Now, Chu Mu’s uprising as a powerful Half Human in this war became the focus of all discussions.

There were only a few human leaders. In this war, Chu Mu personally killed two human leaders. No matter how other leaders purposely described Chu Mu as a merciless devil who could not be called a human, Chu Mu still became the strongest and most mysterious Half Human in human history.

The current Chu Mu was already stronger than normal leaders.

As long as he was in New Moon Land, nobody could invade it.

Furthermore, many insightful authority holders noticed that after those sects in the eight factions failed, a large number of people were cleaned up within those factions. This felt as if all the factions changed anew over the night, but nobody could really point out what changed.

Some said that after New Moon Land went through the war and rose up to the representative of independent territories, it was developing as the ninth faction under the silent agreement of the eight factions.

Those were merely speculations. Some also guessed that as long as the two royalties still existed, New Moon Land would never become the ninth faction, unless New Moon Land could grow to the point even the two royalties had to be wary......

......

Various stories spread out in the world, the major factions also showed changes. Even the other borders and factions not involved in this war also seemed to have been changed.

Meanwhile, New Moon Land sent out a border sealing order one month after the war.

New Moon Land would seal up for one year, not allowing any outsider to enter. Any unauthorized personnel entering New Moon Land would be killed on spot.

This order was also the reason New Moon Land was described as a bloody sword on the human map, because nobody dared to get close.

......

With earth type soul pets, the reconstruction of the city was fast.

About three months after the war, Wanxiang City’s outer city regained its former state.

Three months also washed away the sadness along with the reconstruction of the city.

Some people gained new soul pets, some walked out from their sadness.

A city could be said as a faith, a faith for everyone who stayed in the city. As long as it still existed, no suffering could not be endured.

Three months ago, the city was still shrouded in death and destruction.

Now, the places where corpses were piled up had been planted with spiritual trees which could purify the air by Ning Maner.

The flowers on spiritual trees bloomed along the streets. Every spiritual tree had a name carved on it to commemorate those who sacrificed for New Moon Land.

Ning Maner said that life was a cycle.

The dead would enter a new cycle. If they did not have a place to belong to during the process of entering a new cycle after death, they would become ghosts. They would be at a loss, isolated and helpless during this period.

When these spiritual trees had their names carved and an item or their corpse buried under the roots, those dead would receive a peaceful place to belong to before entering a new cycle. Then, they would start their next life.

Ning Maner’s action was praised by many. Hence, the other cities which also suffered from the war started doing the same thing.

As the flowers bloomed, Ning Maner also started smiling more.

Many people recognized this beautiful child. Her smile easily touched those with a pure heart. Unknowingly, New Moon Land walked out from the sadness of war. Children played around on the streets, lovers embraced in aisles, teachers and youths trained their new soul pets outside the cities, and elderlies chatted in yards.

To most people, life did not need to be filled with adventure or fighting. The real components of a city should be these citizens who lived a peaceful life.

......

“Big brother, will that Ancient Flood Dragon Person be very strong? Even stronger than the subjugation alliance?” asked Ning Maner as she pulled Chu Mu’s sleeve.

“Perhaps,” said Chu Mu.

“Big brother will protect this place, right?” asked Ning Maner.

“Yes,” Chu Mu nodded.

Chu Mu did not know when this territory was already inseparable from him. He would do his best not to let anyone invade this territory again. Be it humans or Ocean Species!
