Chapter 396

The cheers of victory shook the heavens. Lu Chen and Huo Yao stood at the center of the crowd, bathed in golden sunlight. They had eradicated the dark creatures that plagued the world and brought the light back to this land. People from all corners of the world poured into the streets, expressing their deep respect with thunderous cheers and the most sincere gratitude. Flowers paved the path before them, and joyful songs accompanied them every step of the way. "Lu Chen, Huo Yao, thank you!" "You saved us!" "You are true heroes!" ... Faced with the tidal wave of praise, Lu Chen and Huo Yao merely smiled and nodded in acknowledgment. They knew full well that this victory did not belong to them alone, but to everyone who had fought for the light. Making their way through the jubilant crowd, they returned to their long-missed hometown. The once-familiar town had taken on a completely new look; the streets were wide and clean, the houses were neatly arranged, and an air of peace and prosperity permeated every corner. Children played happily in the square, while adults gathered in small groups, talking about a bright future.
