With this bow, time swept across the dark starry sky like the wind. Within these Four Great Star Domains, a slumbering soul seemed to stir, slowly awakening from the void as the wind of time rose.

With this bow, the heroic souls of past battles—whether for glory, passion, helpless desperation, or the struggle for survival—the Cultivators of the Inner Realm who died in the endless wars of the past, their souls seemed to appear as Wang Lin's words echoed!

A scent of sorrow permeated every corner of the Four Great Star Domains of the Inner Realm in that instant.

This sorrow came from those heroic souls; though they had died, their remnant souls remained, silently watching over the Inner Realm, year after year, refusing to enter Reincarnation!

They were unwilling to enter the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, nor could they, so they remained in the starry sky as resentment and sorrow. They were waiting for the day when all the Cultivators of the Outer Realm's Primordial Stars would die, waiting for the day the Sealed Realm Grand Formation would completely collapse and be destroyed. They wanted to see if this war, which seemed to have no end, would ever finally come to a close!

Within these Four Great Star Domains, as Wang Lin bowed with his hands clasped, he did not look up. He maintained the gesture of respect, his head lowered to hide the sorrow in his eyes.

One by one, illusory remnant souls manifested from the starry sky. Among these, the first to appear were the Cultivators from the Ancient era, before the Sealed Realm Grand Formation existed between the Inner and Outer Realms.

They were the first subjects of the Ancient Immortal Realm, enlightened by the Ancient Immortal Realm and taught the art of cultivation. They were the first living beings born under the evolution of the Heavenly Dao.

Their clothing looked like that of savages, but the aura emanating from their souls was filled with insights into heaven and earth. On the day the Sealed Realm Grand Formation appeared, they had been filled with confusion and fear, wanting to rush out of the Sealed Realm Grand Formation, but in the end, they all died one by one.

Now, after such a long, long time, their heroic souls were summoned by Wang Lin. They appeared in the Four Great Star Domains of the Inner Realm, silently watching Wang Lin in the Cloud Sea Star Domain.

Following them were the ancient Cultivators who had lived in the Four Great Immortal Realms before they were destroyed—or rather, the Immortals from the Four Great Immortal Realms!

Although they were not True Immortals from the Immortal Astral, in Wang Lin's heart, they were Immortals! Countless of them died under the Sealed Realm Grand Formation in their attempts to break out of the Inner Realm.

Furthermore, during the countless invasions from the Outer Realm, countless more were killed. Though Wang Lin kept his head lowered in respect, he could vaguely sense those tragic, heroic souls.

He clearly remembered seeing the statue of the Flashing Thunder Clan for the first time in the Seven-Colored Land. Through the memories of that statue, he had seen the shocking scene of the Immortals within the Sealed Realm Grand Formation giving everything to break out, only to die one by one in the end.

Today, these deceased Immortals' remnant souls were being summoned from the void for the first time since their deaths.

After the Immortals came the era of the current Cultivation World. The shattered souls of the Cultivators who had died in this century-long war manifested from the void one by one. Wang Lin had met many of them, though most were strangers to him. But at this moment, the endless souls manifesting across the Four Great Immortal Realms had all died for the Inner Realm; their deaths must be remembered by future generations!

Throughout history, in the countless wars between the Inner Realm and the Outer Realm, too many Cultivators and living beings have died, yet never has anyone paid tribute to these fallen Cultivators. It did not happen in the Ancient era, nor during the time of the Ancient Immortal Realms. Only now, only Wang Lin, was the first to pay tribute to the fallen souls at this moment!

"Are you willing to become the Immortal Formation Spirits of this formation?" Wang Lin raised his head and spoke loudly, looking at the heroic souls formed from resentment that had manifested across the Four Great Star Domains.

Following Wang Lin's words, the endless heroic souls permeating the Inner Realm suddenly twisted, turning into streams of invisible aura that rushed directly toward Wang Lin.

The first to arrive before Wang Lin was a Cultivator from the Ancient era. His form was blurred and his soul eyes were dim. He appeared a hundred feet in front of Wang Lin, looked deeply at him, and bowed with clasped hands toward Wang Lin, who remained in his gesture of respect.

After this bow, his soul flickered and rushed into the Revolving Formation formed by the three Origins, willingly becoming one of the Formation Spirits!

Behind him, the souls that had died in the Ancient wars arrived one by one. All of them bowed to Wang Lin from a hundred feet away and, without hesitation, merged into the Revolving Formation.

Although they still contained the resentment from their lives after death, at this moment, within this bow, they merged with the Revolving Formation without complaint or regret to become the Immortal Formation Spirits. They had died for the Inner Realm, and for the Inner Realm, even their remnant souls after death were all offered up.

In life, they were heroes; in death, they were heroic souls!

One, two, ten thousand, twenty thousand, one hundred thousand, hundreds of thousands! The Ancient heroic souls who had died for the Inner Realm throughout the ages all appeared at this moment, coming before Wang Lin one by one. Whether they were alone, in groups of hundreds, or tens of thousands, after bowing together, they rushed toward the Revolving Formation!

Following them were the ancient Cultivators, the Immortals from the Four Great Immortal Realms. They came from different Immortal Realms of Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning, but the blood that had flowed through their bodies before they died was the same blood of the Inner Realm. Even after such long ages of death, their souls remained souls of the Inner Realm!

Born as people of the Inner Realm, in death they remained souls of the Inner Realm!

They appeared before Wang Lin one after another, and like their predecessors, they bowed to Wang Lin with clasped hands, then turned and flickered into the formation, merging with it.

These scenes caused monstrous waves to rise in the hearts of the countless people watching. Wang Lin maintained his gesture of respect throughout, not moving an inch.

After the heroic souls of the Immortals came the Fellow Daoists who had died in this century-long war. They arrived one by one, their familiar or unfamiliar soul shadows bowing before Wang Lin and rushing into the Revolving Formation without hesitation!

Among these people, some had once been Wang Lin's enemies, and some had been his acquaintances, but at this moment, their souls were filled with the same desire to protect. With their final strength, they went to protect the Inner Realm!

An atmosphere of tragic heroism permeated the starry sky. These scenes fell into the eyes of the many Outer Realm Cultivators who were rushing over from all directions of the Outer Realm's Primordial Stars to watch. They were all shocked, watching this scene with trembling hearts.

In the Inner Realm's Luotian, the remaining Cultivators on those nineteen Cultivation Planets, without anyone leading them, all stood up from their meditation and bowed with clasped hands toward the starry sky.

Nanyun Zi, Situ Nan, Hong Shanzi, Qing Lin, and all other Cultivators, without exception, all stood up in that instant. Their expressions filled with sorrow and respect as they bowed toward the starry sky!

It was not just them, but also the rare Inner Realm Cultivators existing in various places across the other three Star Domains. In this instant, they all stood up. Scenes of past wars appeared before their eyes as they bowed toward the starry sky!

Also, in the Cloud Sea Star Domain, at a distance from where Wang Lin was, the three women including Mu Bingmei were gathered together. Their expressions were filled with sorrow as they bowed with clasped hands to the soul shadows flashing past them.

Also at this moment, in the Kunxu Star Domain, in an empty stretch of starry sky, Old Ghost Zhan's expression was rarely downcast. He stood in the starry sky, gazing at the souls drifting past him, his eyes filled with complexity.

"Lü Cai… Li Dong, Chang Yi… are you here too… You died in battle long ago, and only I still exist in this world… Back then, we were also guessing why the Inner and Outer Realms were fighting… I never expected fate to play such a trick; now, I have become the promoter of this war that I once felt angry and resentful about… We once swore an oath together to change all of this, to destroy the Sealed Realm Grand Formation, and to let the Inner Realm walk out of this world… But you do not know what I learned in that Immortal Fate; I learned a shocking secret…"

Sorrow appeared in Old Ghost Zhan's eyes. Although his cultivation could almost be called the highest within this Immortal Cave, he was still a human, one of the living beings born within this Immortal Cave.

He was not heartless. At this moment, under Wang Lin's summoning of the heroic souls, his heart was stung. He stood there in a daze, his eyes filled with confusion. After a long time, he clasped his hands and bowed to those dead heroic souls.

But the moment he bowed, his expression suddenly twisted in pain, as if a force was erupting from within his body, preventing him from bowing to these ants of the Lower Realm!

"I can help you, but you cannot stop me from bowing to these souls that make me feel guilty!" Old Ghost Zhan gritted his teeth and said this word by word. Ignoring the restraint of the power erupting within his body, he bowed completely toward the distant Star Domain.

Meanwhile, in the Zhao River Star Domain, inside a meteorite floating in the starry sky that Wang Lin had passed by earlier without discovering it even with his Divine Sense, Heavenly Fate Child slowly opened his eyes.

His expression was calm. He sensed the souls that had been summoned in the surrounding starry sky and fell silent. After a long, long time, he walked out of the meteorite, stood upon it, and watched the endless heroic souls departing into the distance.

"I should be the first to awaken my memories, apart from those two… But regardless, I was also once a Cultivator of the Inner Realm… You all deserve a bow from this old man." Heavenly Fate Child sighed softly, flicked his large sleeve, clasped his hands, and bowed toward the starry sky.

Also in this Zhao River Star Domain, there was a person whom even Heavenly Fate Child had not discovered. This person was a youth who came from the Rift of the Ancient Immortal Realm, which Wang Lin had faced during his Heavenly Tribulation back then.

He sat cross-legged in the starry sky, his body blurred and impossible to see clearly.

Opening his eyes at this moment, a gleam of light flashed in the youth's eyes, and his expression revealed disdain.

"What is the use of paying tribute to these humble remnant souls! They are just a flock of birds in a cage. I cannot find the place Senior Martial Uncle Ma spoke of, so I will stop looking. Calculating the time, Senior Martial Uncle is about to wake up soon. This Immortal Cave of the Seven Dao Sect is getting more and more interesting…"
