Chapter 1749 1749: The Peace Between Gods and Demons Relies on Wang Yu
"You can ignore what type of game it is; just do what the system tells you to do", Wang Yu said bluntly, a complete novice in the game. He took out two heads from his backpack, leaped forward, and pressed them into the grooves on the stone pillars.
"Boom!"
The moment Wang Yu placed both heads into the grooves, the entire altar began to shake.
"For justice!~"
"For freedom!~"
A deafening howl and a chilling atmosphere echoed in the skies above the battlefield of gods and demons.
The black and white stone pillars slowly sank as the altar trembled. When the entire pillars had descended into the altar, two beams of light, one black and one white, shot up into the sky, dispersing the dense dark clouds above the battlefield and spreading outward.
Sunlight broke through the cloud cover and illuminated the battlefield, causing all the wronged souls on the battlefield to dissipate into smoke under its rays.

Two golden lights shone from Wang Yu, and a massive amount of experience propelled him to level 70.
At the same time, a system announcement echoed overhead.
*Announcement: The seal that has been dormant for a thousand years has been broken; the slumbering gods and demons have been awakened. The ancient battlefield, which has accumulated countless years, has once again sounded the call to arms. Is it fate or coincidence? The battlefield of gods and demons has been reopened by the Child of Destiny.*
"Clatter..."
Accompanying the system announcement, the statues around the altar began to tremble as their gray shells gradually fell away. The sleeping angels and demons were awakened by the opening of the battlefield of gods and demons, called forth by Wang Yu.
Seeing this, the members of the Quan Zhen sect instinctively huddled together back to back. Spring Halo, looking nervous, said, "I have a bad feeling about this."
As soon as Spring Halo finished speaking, the awakened statues around the altar all turned their gazes to the altar.
When they saw the two heads next to the Quan Zhen members, their eyes instantly filled with overwhelming murderous intent.
"Lord Reis!!"
"Sir Jamil!!"
The monsters glanced at the heads on the stone pillars and then turned their furious gazes to Wang Yu, shouting, "Martial God!! It's you, this detestable mortal!! You shall not be forgiven!!"
As they spoke, the demons and angels below the altar simultaneously unfurled their wings and leaped up, all jumping toward the altar.
"Old Bull, run!"
Seeing this, Fearless cast a Holy Shield over Wang Yu's head. Wang Yu instantly teleported out of the encirclement, charging toward the direction of the demon fortress.
"Whoosh!"
With a vendetta in mind, the resurrected statues focused their hatred on Wang Yu. Seeing him break free from the encirclement, all the angels and demons flapped their wings, turned around, and resumed their pursuit.
Although Wang Yu did not know what the Martial God had done to the gods and demons in the past, he was sure that both factions were now targeting him.
There was no way to wash it clean; Reis and Jamil were killed by him, and the title of Heir of the Martial God was now attached to him. There was no way to shake that off.
"Damn! Should we help?"
The Quan Zhen members on the altar were dumbfounded at this moment... To be honest, in their eyes, Wang Yu was actually a very good-natured and righteous friend. They couldn't understand why he seemed to attract trouble like a fly, having previously been chased by players and now being pursued by NPCs.
Even more absurd was that the traditionally warring angels and demons were now seemingly united because of Wang Yu... What the hell did that mean? Was peace between the gods and demons reliant on this kid?
"Help? No way!" Fearless stared at Wang Yu and the endless swarm of monsters behind him, dazed. "We can take a look, but helping? Forget it."
Are you kidding? A single detection spell on these resurrected statues revealed nothing but question marks; they were all at least level 80 or above, and being sealed in the center of the battlefield of gods and demons indicated they were powerful. If even Wang Yu had to run for his life, what could the others do to help?
...
"How far until we get there? Can we make it?"
As Wang Yu activated the battlefield of gods and demons, Baron Hell had also led hundreds of people in pursuit. Seeing the system announcement, Baron Hell looked anxious.
It was evident that the earlier commotion was caused by Wang Yu and his group, and Baron Hell was worried that they would finish their task and escape.
On the other end of the battlefield of gods and demons was Sin City, which was nominally the base of the neutral faction but was occupied by the Light Army. The players there were mostly from the Light faction, and as a local snake, Baron Hell naturally understood the principle that a strong dragon does not crush a local snake.
"We're almost there!" The Red Demon fumbled with the coordinates and said, "They haven't moved at all..."
"Huh? What's that?"
Before the Red Demon could finish, Baron Hell's sudden voice interrupted him.
"?"
The Red Demon looked up and saw a dark mass in the distant sky approaching at a visible speed.
"It's the demons and angels! They're flying this way together."
At that moment, the archers in the team had already recognized what was flying above and began to stir.
"Demons and angels flying together? Isn't that ridiculous?"
Baron Hell couldn't help but sneer at the archers' words.
Demons and angels were not uncommon in the game, but it was a bit hard to believe that they were flying around together.
"Really... it seems like they're chasing someone!"
Wang Yu's speed after opening the battlefield was fast, and the flying speed of the angels and demons was not slow either. In just a few exchanges, Wang Yu had led his pursuers into the line of sight of the players in Hell's Red Lotus, and the sharper-eyed archers spotted Wang Yu, who was running at the front.
"Chasing someone?"
Baron Hell quickly shielded his eyes to look ahead, and soon a figure rushed into his sight.
That sturdy frame, the shining gauntlet in hand, the longbow on his back... It looked so familiar; wasn't that the guy who had robbed him of his weapon and killed him once?
"What the hell!"
As the saying goes, "Enemies meet with extra hatred." Seeing that it was Wang Yu rushing over, Baron Hell immediately commanded the players behind him, "Everyone, stop that kid! Don't let him get away!"
"Clatter!"
The players from Hell's Red Lotus were all seasoned veterans. Upon receiving Baron Hell's order, the Guardians moved to the front while the damage dealers lined up behind, quickly forming a battle formation.
