Not even Jiang Ning was sure about when the war would come. The horn might sound at any moment, and once it did, there would be no turning back. Only one of two outcomes would happen should an all-out war take place. One, they kill all their enemies; or two, they would face total annihilation.
Most of the world's biggest problems could not be seen by laymen, and Jiang Ning could never ask the people to bear the burden with him.
Peter Pan nodded grimly, for he too knew the gravity of the situation. “I will talk to them.”
They wasted no time and made some preparations before going into the mountain.
Greedy Wolf was the one who woke the Awakened from their slumber in the first place, and he almost succeeded in turning them into his killing machines. Fortunately, the Awakened realized their mistakes in time, and they chose to put their trust in Jiang Ning.
And it was time for Jiang Ning to repay their trust.
Jiang Ning and Peter Pan came to the cave where the Awakened slumbered. A row of pods stood within, and powerful fighters from past generations lay within them.
A few dozen sleeping pods unfurled before them. They contained a group of wondrous fighters, whoever, though shone less brightly than Peter Pan and the top fighters of that generation—still left a mark that spoke of their legends.
All of them were geniuses of their generation, but it was just their luck that Peter Pan and his friends were born, stealing their thunder.
Even to this very day, they were still no match for Peter Pan and his friends. It was a tragic tale for them, but there was nothing they could do about it.
Some people were destined to play second fiddle and blended in the background. However, even people like them could lead a great life and become the protagonist of their own stories.
Even so, not everyone had the mental fortitude to think that way.
Jiang Ning and Peter Pan went into the cave, and the Awakened were still slumbering as usual. None of them had woken up from their long slumber.
As they had put their faith in Jiang Ning, they knew if they woke up before the Longevity Pond was found, they would soon find themselves at the end of their lives.
“It is time,” Jiang Ning said.
Peter Pan nodded. “Then we shall commence the awakening.”
They went to every pod and turned it off, allowing fresh air to circulate within it and waking the fighters up.
A while later, the first fighter regained consciousness. He slowly sat up, as if still trying to recall how long he had slept. His memory had been cut off since he went back to his slumber last time, and he had no recollection about how much time had passed.
