Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 746 - 132: Secrets

Everything has to start from that piece of history eight thousand years ago.

After the Twilight of the Gods battle, the Multi-universe System collapsed, and those beings across the starry sky, who had been preserved since the Gold Era, took action. Using the fragments left from the Seta Great World, they reassembled and fabricated the Seta Continent.

And after that,

The Divine fell into slumber, all Arcane Mages vanished, and the great war utterly obliterated many extraordinary species left from the Silver Era.

The surviving races barely managed to live and reproduce on the Seta Continent, and after thousands of years, they developed and flourished to their peak. Conflicts and wars began to arise between different races.

War broke out again.

But compared to the end of the Gold and Silver Era, or even the final Twilight of the Gods battle, this all-encompassing war on the entire continent, waged for thousands and tens of thousands of years, could only be regarded as a localized war.

No matter the intensity of the war or the damage it caused, it couldn't be compared with the three truly epoch-making wars of the past.

War,

War.

Since the beginning of heaven and earth, war has always persisted among wise beings.

This hundred races' campaign,

was a bloody battle waged by races trapped in a cage, fighting for the land to survive and reproduce. This was an irreconcilable conflict of interests.

During those thousands of years,

The Divine retreated and disappeared. The entire continent was shrouded in bloodshed, with races being exterminated and vanishing from the river of history after their defeat in war.

And the outcome of this hundred races' campaign,

was eventually concluded by the pure-blooded Beastmen, the war weapons synthesized by arcane techniques as disposable troops, remnants of the Arcane Mages' servants from back then.

Those pure-blooded Beastmen, who once stood beside the renowned Arcane Mages, gained a portion of their legacy, ultimately ruling the vast numbers of half-Beastman synthesized lifeforms, defeating many races, and established a Beastman Empire spanning the entire Seta Continent!

That era was the era of the Beastman Empire!

For the races that once participated in the continent's dominance campaign, it was also an era with a very bleak future.

The powerful pure-blooded Beastmen suppressed all directions, relying on some remnants of the Arcane Mages' legacy, ruling the boundless vast lands, ushering in an era where Beastmen were supremely exalted.

This era,

continued for thousands of years.

Until the second millennium after the Twilight of the Gods battle, for some reason, perhaps due to some great beings like the Divine acting secretly, or perhaps there were internal issues within the vast and bloated Beastman Empire.

In any case,

The Beastman Empire that dominated the entire Seta Continent collapsed overnight,

The immensely glorious Empire ultimately headed towards destruction into the unknown.

Despite being unbelievable,

This is the fact.

Regarding that piece of history, very few people know, but one thing can be confirmed, that the path of cultivation was severed overnight with the collapse of the Beastman Empire!

Eight thousand years ago,

Before the collapse and destruction of the Beastman Empire,

Even though the Seta Great World was only a fraction of its former self, full of scars, it could still bear the epic power, supporting powerful beings at the peak of the legendary realm to charge towards the epic path, ultimately ascending to that distant, magnificent realm!

This was the reason why the Seven Ancient Sages of the Human Race could appear back then.

Before the collapse of the Beastman Empire, before the epic path was severed, they had already ascended to the epic realm, becoming the backbone of the then weak Human Race.

Even though the advancement of this realm was a hundred times more difficult than during the Gold and Silver Era!

But before the collapse of the Beastman Empire,

The epic path was indeed not severed.

Until the Beastman Empire collapsed,

The epic path was then severed.

No one could successfully ascend to epic again, and not even the power of epic could be borne by the Seta Continent, the whole world becoming as fragile as a bubble.

During that period, what exactly happened,

No one knows.

In some notes left by the Seven Ancient Sages, there vaguely mentions that the Beastmen had grasped the Arcane Mages' ultimate weapon, and there seemed to be traces of Divine intervention.

However, most of these are vague and seem to involve some unmentionable taboos.

But no matter what,

One thing that can be speculated from this is:

Because of that unknown upheaval eight thousand years ago, it caused irreparable damage to the world that was originally stable enough to support epic levels.

Moreover,

Also because of that unforeseen great change back then, Seta Continent silently faced a catastrophic disaster, and the entire Seta Continent was about to meet its final end.

And it was at that time, the Seven Sages of the Human Race stood up. They extended the existence of this world at the cost of their lives, preventing the world from falling into the abyss of doom.

And as recompense,

The Human Race finally rose from the dark ages following the collapse of the Beastman Empire, eventually becoming the overlord of the entire Seta Continent, occupying the most fertile Central Earth World to this day.

The brilliance of human civilization, from the start, was bathed in the glory of the Seven Sages back then.

During that period,

The reasons involved a lot, likely mingled with some calculations from prematurely revived Divine and transactions among some magnificent beings across the starry sky, etc.

These things are rarely known to outsiders.

Only the Seven Kingdoms, which are descendants of the Seven Sages, know a bit.

"The existence of the Ireland Kingdom actually has a significant connection with the stability of the Seta Continent for these eight thousand years... that was the agreement our ancestors made with some great figures..."

"But the stars are realigning... the great upheaval is soon about to descend, and the fate of the Ireland Kingdom, as stated in the agreement, is about to conclude..."

"Sarah, the destruction of Ireland is an inevitable fate... but the bloodline of the Plantis royalty must not be severed, Henry and Charlie, those two proud fools who do not even know when they're being manipulated, cannot bear this responsibility... the honor of Plantis can only be entrusted to you to carry on..."

Although Princess Sarah was very determined, the old King did not reveal all the truths, only vaguely mentioning some important things.

As he said,

Since there is no longer hope of saving the Ireland Kingdom, and since he is about to step into the grave of death, then everything will be buried with him, without burdening the descendants with such heavy truths.

At this time, Princess Sarah did not understand the profound meaning behind the old King's handling of the matter.

It was only years later that she truly understood the words of the old King.
