Returning to Xingtian Ancient Road, he started a new life.

He walked to an inn and saw four big characters written on it: "Qingfeng Hut".

Seeing these four big characters, Zhou Dezhou recalled the situation when he fought side by side with Guohuan before. "Guohuan, you, do you remember here......"

Tears slipped silently, Zhou Dezhou wiped his tears and walked into the inn.

When Zhou Dezhou entered the inn, he saw that it was very quiet, and a young woman was sorting out the accounts behind the counter.

"Hello and welcome." The woman noticed Zhou Dezhou coming in and greeted her with a smile.

"Hello, I want a room." Zhou Dezhou replied politely.

"How long do you need to stay?" The woman asked.

"Just one night." Zhou Dezhou said.

"Okay, please come with me." The woman took Zhou Dezhou to a spacious and clean room, which had a large bed and a table, and a faint fragrance wafted through.

"This was our best room." The woman smiled and said, "We look forward to a comfortable and enjoyable night here." ”

Zhou Dezhou nodded, looking at the neat and clean decoration in the room, and couldn't help but praise it secretly. He walked over to the bed and sat down, quietly thinking about the way forward.

"Guohuan, where are you now? I miss you so much. Zhou Dezhou muttered to himself, feeling the emptiness in his heart.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Zhou Dezhou walked over to open the door, only to see Uncle Liu, the owner of a grocery store next to him.

"Brother Zhou, what are you doing here? Need my help? Uncle Liu smiled warmly.

Zhou Dezhou replied with a smile: "It's nothing, just come and stay for one night." ”

"In this case, then you can just call me Lao Liu." Uncle Liu scratched his head, "By the way, you haven't eaten yet, right?" You can go to the restaurant next door for a bite to eat. ”

"Okay, thank you very much." Zhou Dezhou said.

He followed Uncle Liu's guidance and came to a restaurant. The restaurant was full of people, and there were several tables of people drinking and fighting.

"Boss, let's have a fried rice noodle and two eggs." Zhou Dezhou nodded to the boss.

"Okay, right away." The owner replied thoughtfully.

Zhou Dezhou sat at the table, waiting for the food to appear, when he suddenly heard a familiar cough. He turned his head and saw an old man with white hair sitting not far away.

"Grandpa, are you alright?" Zhou Dezhou asked with concern.

The old man smiled slightly, pointed to his throat, and signaled some discomfort.

"Wait, I'll get you a cup of hot water." Zhou Dezhou said, he got up and walked to the counter of the restaurant and asked the boss to pour a cup of hot water for the old man.

When he returned to the table, he found that the old man had slowly walked away.

"Strange ......" Zhou Dezhou glanced at the table, only to see a thin piece of paper on the ground, and reached out to pick it up, full of curiosity.

He opened the piece of paper, and a few words were written on it: "Please meet me at the top of the mountain."

"What is this?" Zhou Dezhou secretly guessed, and then followed the guidance to the top of the mountain. Not far away there is a path that leads to a cave.

"Could this person be an enemy?" Zhou Dezhou was secretly vigilant, but still walked in.

The cave was unusually quiet, and Zhou Dezhou walked all the way inside to find an old man sitting there, looking at him with a mysterious and unique look.

"Who are you?" Zhou Dezhou asked.

"I am the guardian of the Xingtian Ancient Road, Old Man Afan." The old man said slowly.

"Guardians? What do you mean? Zhou Dezhou was a little puzzled.

"On this planet, there is a Guardian everywhere. Their duty is to protect the peace and security of this world. The old man explained, "And you are the guardian here. ”

"Me?" Zhou Dezhou was slightly stunned, "How can I become a guardian?" ”

"Because you have unrivaled courage and wisdom." The old man said slowly, "You are the person you need here. ”

"I ......" Zhou Dezhou hesitated, "Can I protect this place?" ”

"As long as you are firm in your heart and believe in yourself, you will be able to do it." The old man replied with a smile.

Zhou Dezhou pondered for a long time, and finally he stood up and said with a cheering up: "Okay, I will do my best." ”

The old man nodded, smiling and watching Zhou Dezhou leave. He returned to the Breeze Cottage and lay down on his bed, deep in thought.

"Guardian...... Am I up to the task? Zhou Dezhou's heart was full of doubts.

He picked up a book in his hand and began to look around the room, hoping to find the answer. However, neither the book, nor what he had been through, provided him with enough inspiration.

"Perhaps, I'll need time to find out." Zhou Dezhou thought, "As long as I don't give up easily, I will always find the direction that belongs to me." ”

He took a deep breath and secretly cheered himself up, ready to start a new day of adventure and exploration. Because he knows that only by going on with determination can he discover his true self.

"System, am I up to the Guardian?" Zhou Dezhou asked hesitantly.

"The host of this system is invincible in the world, how can it be stumped by such a trivial matter?" The mechanical voice of the system seems to be mixed with another emotion.

"But Guohuan, in order to save me...... sacrificed...... What am I going to do? Zhou Dezhou's voice was a little choked, he knew that he couldn't forget Guohuan's sacrifice. During this time, he has been thinking that if he hadn't been overconfident and reckless at the beginning, maybe Guo Huan would not have left him.

"Host, please don't dwell on it anymore. We should not dwell on the past, but grasp the present and the future. "You've done your job, and all you need to do now is do your best to protect the land." ”

"System, can that Guohuan be resurrected?" Zhou Dezhou asked softly.

The system replied: "Of course you can, but your current strength is still too weak, just wait until you reach the Emperor Breaking Realm." ”

Zhou Dezhou was silent for a while and nodded. He knew that the system was right, no matter what happened in the past, the present and the future were the problems he had to face. He took a deep breath, made up his mind, and began his new life as a guardian.

In the following days, Zhou Dezhou encountered many unexpected events and difficulties, but he always maintained a calm and composed attitude and solved the problem step by step.

"Guardian, I've been waiting for you here for a long time." An unfamiliar voice suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Dezhou.

"Who are you? Why wait for me? Zhou Dezhou looked at the person in front of him and had some doubts in his heart.

"I'm another guardian of the Xingtian Ancient Path, and for some reason, I have to pass on my power." The stranger said.

Zhou Dezhou listened and was stunned for a moment, "Inherit it?" What do you mean? ”

"I've reached the end of my life and need to find a suitable heir. I have seen your courage and wisdom and found my shadow in you, so I will pass on my power to you. The stranger said.

Zhou Dezhou was stunned again, but immediately thought of the words of the system: "We should not stay in the past, but grasp the present and the future." So he accepted the stranger's inheritance without hesitation.

Since then, Zhou Dezhou's strength has been greatly improved, reaching the realm of Da Luo Golden Immortal, and he has gradually become a veritable guardian of the Xingtian Ancient Road. He used his strength to protect everyone in this land from any harm.

"Zhou Dezhou, you did a good job." An old man praised Zhou Dezhou.

"Thank you, I'll keep trying." Zhou Dezhou replied with a smile.

"I believe in you." The old man said, then turned to leave.

Zhou Dezhou looked at the back of the old man leaving, and felt a sense of relief in his heart. He knows that his efforts have not been in vain, and everyone's recognition is the best reward for him.

"Guardian, you've done your job." The system appeared in Zhou Dezhou's mind again.

"My mission?" Zhou Dezhou was a little surprised, "What is that?" ”

"You should know." "Your mission is to protect the peace and security of this land and make people's lives happier." ”

Zhou Dezhou nodded, he understood that his mission was to defend this homeland and make it a better place.

"I'll keep doing it." Zhou Dezhou said, "No matter what difficulties I encounter, I will move forward bravely and will not give up easily." ”

"Host, I trust you." The system said, smiling and disappearing into Zhou Dezhou's mind.

Since then, Zhou Dezhou has become the greatest guardian of Xingtian Ancient Road, and he has used his wisdom and courage to create a better future for this land. His name, remembered here, became an eternal hero in the hearts of the people.
