Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 967 - 85: Rebirth (Part 1)

The Demon Army launched a large-scale invasion of the Moon Plane. After Yue Potian returned to the Moon Plane, he joined forces with the Plane Holy Beast, led by the three Holy Beast Clan Leaders, forming the Demon Hunting Army.

Except for the Chenwu Clan, which did not join, the Holy Beasts came out in full force.

Just as the Holy Beasts were preparing to fight the Demon Clan to the death, the Demon Army suddenly retreated. Overnight, they disappeared from the Moon Plane, as if their arrival was just a dream.

The Demon Army arrived fiercely, but left silently, as if their presence was merely a dream.

Yet the broken Dragon Palace and the slain countless Holy Dragon Riders told everyone that this nightmare-like war did indeed happen.

It is rumored that a rift occurred within the Demon Army. The three major Demon tribes, led by three Demon Princesses, divided the Demon Army.

After the Demon Army retreated, Yue Potian eagerly wanted to launch an attack on the gateway to the Star Plane, Boundary City Four Symbols City.

Who would have expected that the night before the attack, a handbook was delivered inside the Dragon Palace.

What was written in that handbook, only Yue Potian knew, but after reading that document, Yue Potian abandoned the idea of attacking the Star Plane and Four Symbols City.

The smoke of war seemed to have settled.

But in reality, the fires of war had never been extinguished.

The new Emperor Demon disappeared after invading the Moon Plane, the Demon Clan forces split, and the three Demon Princesses each formed their own army, waving the banner of reviving the Demon Clan, creating their own forces on the Chen Plane.

On one hand, they swallowed small Demon Clan tribes, while on the other hand, they launched one small-scale invasion after another against the nearby Star Plane, lightly occupying, heavily burning, killing, and looting, committing all kinds of evil.

It was also at that time that two new forces of the dimension army formed within the Star Plane. One was the Imperial Federation Army composed of outstanding artillery masters and dragon knights of the Empire and Federation, initiated by Yue Minzhi and Long Rui who returned to the Imperial City, responsible for guarding the safety of the border between the Empire and the Federation.

The other army, in contrast, only appeared on the dimensional battlefield. Their flag bore a blood-red rose, with the core force composed of thousands of Demon Beasts and Dan Realm Xuan Practitioners, known as the "July War God’s Army."

Legend has it that the creator of this War God’s Army was the Female War God who once defended the peace of the Plane single-handedly, also one of the renowned Mercenary Kings of the Canglong Continent, Yue Jinghua.

Time passes quickly, countless beauties and heroes turn to bones on the battlefield, only the eternal Boundary River flows endlessly, winding around the Plane, meandering to distant places.

A hundred years have passed, and it is again the season of spring blooming flowers, as the spring breeze wrinkles the river’s surface just like the wrinkles on a lady’s nose, very adorable.

"The sky is blue, the river is vast,

The wind blows the grass down to see cows and sheep

The mighty eagle spreads its wings and flies in all directions

High heavens and low waters, the fish are plump

Which family’s lady is waiting

Which family’s youth shed their blood

..."

Several human children dressed as shepherds frolic while herding near the Boundary River.

They are the children living in Sky Witch Village.

Since the heart-stopping battle in Four Symbols City, it has no longer been isolated from the world, and the previously sealed Divine Ruins have been opened to the public.

Numerous ancient books and useful notes left by Sky Witch from those years have seen the light of day again, after being sealed for years.

These precious materials have injected new vitality into Four Symbols City.

Changsun Gongyang and Bai Sheng have introduced many strong children from the Canglong Continent, teaching them the Xuan Technique Heart Method.

Shalman and Compass got married, and they adopted several children in Four Symbols City. Shalman and Qian Luo both set up classes, with Shalman teaching children with breeding talent the ways of breeding, using the Demon Beast and Dark Beast from the Divine Ruins as a basis, cultivating a large number of Dark Beasts, over fifty percent of which are Holy Beasts.

Qian Luo taught the children the way of the Array Master.

The other few from the July Mercenary Team also made Four Symbols City their core, establishing a Mercenary Group.

They started training little mercenaries from a young age, getting the mercenaries to participate in maintaining order on the dimensional battlefield.

With a century of operation, the July Mercenary Corps has become the most renowned mercenary group on the continent, bar none.

Centered around the Four Symbols City area, further connected by Qian Luo’s Transmission Array, linking Wohua Imperial City, Federation Imperial City, Five Saints Town, and Mazaro Mountain, resources from various places are exchanged, forming a prosperous city and township.

Every year, a large number of people migrate from various continents of the Star Plane to Four Symbols City, receiving the unique celestial witch system baptism that other continents do not have.

Those few human shepherds living near the Boundary River reside within that prosperous city and township. Their forefathers were among the first batch of residents migrating to Sky Witch Village.

After the battle in Four Symbols City, the blood and flesh of countless fallen Xuan Practitioners and Dark Beasts nourished the barren plane battlefield, causing the barren battlefield to sprout green shoots, turning into verdant grasslands.

Especially around the Boundary River, where each year the river floods, silt deposits on the riverbed, forming fertile striped aquatic grasslands.

The Dark Beasts that graze on these aquatic grasses grow plump and muscular, so shepherd children near this area would take advantage of the arrival of spring to herd here.

"I told you, this area has the most aquatic grass, especially around the delta, where a lush patch of dandelions grows. My mom said these dandelions are called Dragon Grass, the Dark Beasts eat them and thrive," said the children, who were only six or seven years old, still wrapped in bulky sheep’s coats from winter.

In the warm spring breeze, the children’s faces flushed rosy, looking like red apples.

"But my dad also said, the delta area is off-limits, there might be a Demon Clan invasion," one child nervously said, looking at the calm river surface.

The so-called triangle delta refers to this area, where anomalously dense grass forests grow, some rising taller than a person.

No one knows when this forest appeared, only discovered unintentionally during a task nearby by the July Mercenary Corps.

The forest contains only one kind of grass and wood, Devil Wood, known as Dragon Grass. Its plant is massive, capable of swallowing an adult eighth-rank magic beast.

Thus this region was soon designated a danger zone, entry unauthorized.

"Don’t be stupid, that’s adult Devil Wood, now it’s spring, we just have to herd nearby and let the sheep nibble some fresh leaves," the leading shepherd boy was confident, not worried about danger.

His father was a member of the July Mercenary Corps, and it was his dad who told him spring is the sprouting season for the Dragon Grass Devil Wood, with fresh leaves generally harmless.

To boost his courage, he secretly borrowed his dad’s Mercenary Badge.

The children gathered their courage, herding the sheep into the Delta Grass.
