Under the setting sun, he, who was once revered as the "God of War" by the world, stood next to the mountains of corpses, relying only on a spear stained with blood to support his body.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his slightly weathered face. Even though his deep eyes had seen through the enemy's conspiracies time and time again, they had not yet discovered his own ending today.

Seeing the enemy troops rushing toward him like a tide, the man's words came to mind again in his ears.

"If a man stands in heaven and earth, there is no reason why he should kneel down and die!"

He used his last strength to insert the blood-stained spear into the ground, and leaned on the iron spear to stand up straight.

Perhaps out of respect for the "God of War", the life-threatening arrow only cut through the smoke of the battlefield and appeared in his field of vision after he stood firm.

He who once turned his hands into clouds and rain on the battlefield, now all he can do is wait for death to come.

The deadly arrow flew towards him, breaking through the smoke and dust that filled the battlefield with the force of thunder. In the smoke and dust, everyone saw his confident smile again and for the last time, until the arrow pierced his heart.

At the last moment of his life, all that came to mind were scenes of enemies fleeing in the face of the wind, and he seemed to want to let out a long roar to intimidate the enemy again.

However, the remaining warmth in his body gradually dissipated, announcing the end of the legendary life of the God of War.

Since ancient times, people's enthusiasm for becoming immortals has never weakened, but I don't know since when, immortals began to slowly disappear, and even the major sects of cultivating immortals seemed to be slowly fading out of people's sight for the same reason.

What's even more strange is that no one felt this change until the immortals and the sect of cultivating immortals slowly disappeared from people's sight.

Ancient Anguo is located in the Central Plains, which is rich in food. It is a place that is extremely suitable for human life.

The Gu'an Kingdom was once the most powerful country in the world. At its peak, its land area was as large as the 41 counties of Kyushu. However, the historical rule that prosperity must decline may be late, but it will never be absent.

Gu Anguo is the best example that can be seen in front of people.

In the year 347 of Gu'an, only four states and eighteen counties were left in the once powerful empire. It is really sad that the huge empire fell into such a state.

In 351 AD, King Xi Zhou Zhi ascended the throne.

King Xi Zhou Zhi was the 18th emperor of Gu'an Kingdom. King Xi had the ambition to restore the country's glory since he was a child. It really made him sad to see the once glorious Gu'an Empire in this state now.

At that time, King Xi was not the orthodox heir to the throne. Although he used some means to ascend to the throne, King Xi's ascension seemed to be expected by everyone, and no one cared about what means King Xi used to ascend the throne. He only hoped that King Xi could turn the tide and save this country.

The surname is in water and fire.

Hopefully, with the advent of the king's era, ancient An may improve.

Somewhere deep in the mountains of ancient Anguo

Under a willow tree outside a hut in the mountains, two old men with black hair and white hair were sitting at a stone table playing chess. They looked leisurely and looked like they were two hermits.

The chessboard in front of the two old men was surprisingly small, smaller than half of a normal chessboard.

The black-haired old man held the white chess piece, and the white-haired old man held the black chess piece. Although the two played for a long time, the number of chess pieces on the chessboard did not increase much, and it was not clear what chess the two old men were playing.

After the white-haired old man frowned and looked at the situation in front of him, he made a move and the hesitation on his face disappeared, replaced by a confident smile.

"Oh? You wouldn't have been so flexible before." The black-haired old man picked up the teacup at hand and took a sip.

"How? How are you going to defeat my move?" The white-haired old man smiled, then retracted his hand after making the move, and put his hand into his sleeve habitually and asked.

The black-haired old man put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at the three chess pieces, two large and one small, parallel to each other on the chessboard and said, "I'd say your three pieces won't make a difference."

"Will you continue today?" The white-haired old man said with a smile, and the black-haired old man saw a hint of conspiracy in his smile.

"Let me think about it..." After the black-haired old man finished speaking, the white-haired old man's smile became even stronger.

The black-haired old man looked at the old friend in front of him with disgust and continued: "Don't be too happy yet. It's hard to say who will win and who will lose."

The white-haired old man closed his eyes and nodded. From his expression, it seemed that the white-haired old man deeply agreed with the black-haired old man's words.

Longzhi Village, Yunbian County, 354 AD in Ancient An

Yunbian County is one of the eighteen counties of the ancient An Kingdom. Due to its distance from the imperial capital and lack of control, it has been harassed by bandits and foreign enemies all year round, making the people miserable.

A group of people gathered near an ordinary hut in the village. One of the men was anxiously listening to the movement in the house at the door, as if he was waiting for something.

"Brother, don't worry, it's time to come out." An older man patted the man on the shoulder and said.

"Brother Zhang, my sister-in-law also took such a long time to give birth to Tieba..."

"Wow!!!"

Before the man finished speaking, a strong cry came from the room.

"I'm giving birth! I'm giving birth! Hahahahaha!" The man jumped up happily and excitedly patted the shoulder of the slightly older man next to him and said.

"Hahaha, congratulations! Brother Yi Chao! They are twins!" The midwife opened the door of the room and said to the man with a smile on her face.

"Twins...twins?" The man was a little overwhelmed with joy, as if he couldn't believe that such a great blessing would fall on his head. The man's expression was a little dazed.

After being stunned for a moment, the villagers on the side also showed joy on their faces, and they all came forward to express their congratulations.

"Hahaha, brothers are so lucky! They are actually twins."

"Why are you still standing there? Come in and take a look?!"

"Lao Yi! What a blessing!"

The man looked at a loss and entered the hut after being pushed by the villagers. Of course, the villagers did not go in. Now was the happiest time for their family. How could the villagers have the heart to disturb them?

In the hut, a woman looked at her two newly born children with tears in her eyes. The two children kept crying, but to the couple, this was the most beautiful sound in the world.

"Brother Yi..." The woman saw the man coming in and wanted to get up, but was stopped by the man.

"Lie down quickly, lie down quickly." The man came to the bedside and brushed the broken hair from the woman's forehead and said.

"Brother Yi, would you like to give our children a name?" the woman said, gently stroking the two children.

"This...I haven't thought about this yet. Let's not think about these things today. You can take good care of yourself first." The man said.

Yi Chao, a farmer in the village, had no big dreams in his life. His biggest wish was to have a family of his own, where the men farmed and the women weaved and lived an ordinary life.

The woman was originally the daughter of a farming family in a neighboring village named Zhang Cai'er. This was the third year since she married Yi Chao, and they finally had their own child.

Today should be Yi Chao's busiest day. The villagers heard that Zhang Cai'er gave birth to twins and came to congratulate her. Because they knew that Zhang Cai'er was giving birth today, they didn't go into the house to disturb her. They just chatted with Yi Chao for a few words outside the house.

The relationship between everyone in Longzhi Village is just like the relationship between villagers in Paradise. This is exactly what Yi Chao wants and what Zhang Cai'er wants.

Now, they hope this is what their children want too.

As the sun set, people gradually dispersed from the door of Yi Chao's house. Yi Chao had met almost everyone in the village throughout the day and was a little tired. He breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to go home.

"Brother."

Just as Yi Chao was about to enter, a voice stopped him.

"Brother Zhang, what's the matter?" Yi Chao smiled and greeted him when he saw the person coming.

"Brother, you can stay at home with your wife and children these two days! Don't worry about the work in the fields. I'll do it for you." Farmer Zhang Jiu is famous for his warm-heartedness in the village.

"Brother Zhang, how can this be done!" Yi Chao hurriedly shied away. The work in the field was not about sweeping the floor and wiping the tables, but doing it as he was told.

"Tsk. Why does the man's mother-in-law belong to his mother-in-law? It's settled like that!" Zhang Jiu patted Yi Chao's shoulder and left before Yi Chao could reply.
