Chapter 40 – Aftermath and a New Goal

The battlefield was silent.

The war was over.

Human cultivators began cheering, their voices echoing across the northern district. The Eight Demon Commanders were retreating, carrying the remnants of their army back into the dimensional crack. Without their lord, they were nothing.

Chairman Guo slowly approached Shin, his expression solemn but full of respect.

"You… you have saved not just our army, but the entire human race."

Shin exhaled, wiping blood from his mouth. His body was battered, but his aura was still overwhelming — far beyond any human on Earth.

Guo bowed slightly.

"Luo Shin… from today, you are humanity's strongest cultivator."

The commanders behind Guo also bowed. Some were pale, realizing they had doubted him just days ago.

Recognition

That night, a grand meeting was held in the Cultivation Association's headquarters. Every major figure was present — generals, commanders, even government officials.

Chairman Guo stood before everyone and declared:

"From this moment onward, Luo Shin shall hold the title Guardian of Earth!"

The entire hall erupted into cheers.

But Shin only stood silently, looking distant.

He thought to himself,

Guardian of Earth, huh? That sounds nice… but the real enemies are still out there.

Abyssal Sword's Evolution

Later that night, Shin sat alone under the moonlight.

Ding!

⚡ Abyssal Void Sword has fully synchronized with host's soul.

⚡ Soul Weapon Level 3 → Level 4.

⚡ Ability Unlocked: Abyssal Domain (Perfected) – Host can pull all enemies into a separate dimension and crush them with gravity and void energy.

Shin held the sword tightly, its black blade glowing with faint purple light.

"This power… this is only the beginning."

A New Threat

The next morning, Chairman Guo called Shin into a secret room.

Guo's face was grim.

"We intercepted a message from the Octaplanet Alliance. They said the Demon Lord we fought was only a pawn. The real enemy is the God Alliance, the same bastards who forced the demon race to invade us."

Shin narrowed his eyes.

"So those same uniform people again…"

Guo nodded.

"Yes. And this time, they may target not just Earth, but every mortal world. The Octaplanet council has invited you personally. They want to meet you and prepare for the war to come."

Shin smirked slightly.

"Octaplanet, huh? Fine… it's time I see for myself where this cultivation path really leads."
