"It's quite embarrassing, but as a matter of fact, I was the one who allowed Commander Lu Nian to conduct the research on the Demon Element in the north," General Hua said.
Mofan looked at General Hua in astonishment.
"Of course, when the Magic Association banned the research, I immediately asked Lu Nian to stop. However, I didn't expect him to set up his own camp and continue his demon experiments. He was so immersed in his research that he disregarded human lives like they were nothing," General Hua said.
Mofan remained silent. It seemed like General Hua still had a lot of things he was unaware of.
"I've always known what you did in the Ancient Capital. I thought you would turn into a real demon just like the other subjects, but you managed to control it."
"Did you set me up?" Mofan said.
"Didn't I make it up to you too?" General Hua raised his brows.
"Fine, let's not talk about it for now," Mofan said.
Commander Lu Nian had almost killed them all, but Mofan ended up with the unique strength of a deity. If he could use it well, he could even take on the strongest creatures in the world.
"You've also seen what happened this time. Even though Forbidden Spell Masters are existences that are close to God among us humans, they are still nothing more than puppets to some of the more ancient emperors. We are still too weak, "General Hua stared at the surface of the sea. The moonlight shone on his face.
"Indeed, the Forbidden Mages Project has refreshed my understanding of the world," Mofan agreed.
The Emperor of the Southernmost Continent, the guy that could raise the sea level and bring disaster to the world. How strong was he exactly? Even a Forbidden Mage could control him so easily?
"Shao Zheng asked you to look for the Totem Beasts. How did you find them?" General Hua asked.
"I've found some, but it seems like I'm still far from finding the complete truth of the Totem Beasts," Mofan said.
"Tell me what you know about the Totem Beasts," General Hua said.
"The ancient Totem Beasts, the first guardians of humans in the Divine Land. They gradually disappeared after the Era of Magic arrived. My guess is that they were killed by the Magic Association at some point in time, "Mofan explained.
Chief Hua turned his head and looked at Mofan in surprise.
"Why do you think so? Isn't the Magic Association supposed to be a sacred organization?" Chief Hua asked.
"Although there are no signs to prove it, when we study history, it is actually very easy for us to discover certain patterns. With the awakening of magic, humans have the power to fight against demons. Totems are god-like existences. Most importantly, many ancient demons are the descendants of totems. "
"The Association of Mages is the most authoritative organization in the world today, and it has influence over the whole world. Naturally, it's because they overthrew the totem rule. To put it simply, the human gods in the past had to rely on themselves now. Totems were powerful and close to humans, but in people's minds, they were still demons. We have to create an era where magic is revered, and we have to overthrow the old feudal gods. "
This was Mofan's speculation.
The Totems had been killed by humans.
Just like how Parthenon had killed the Tyrant Titans. The Tyrant Titans, like the Totems of China, were ancient gods. They were close to humans, protecting them, and ruling them.
It was true that most of the Tyrant Titans were cruel and killed the innocent. However, there were still some kind Tyrant Titans among them. Parthenon had killed them all and established his own dynasty …
History was similar. Most of the Totems in China were considered kind and friendly, but were there really no evil and cruel Totems in the world?
When humans gained control of their own power, the Totems would eventually be killed, regardless of how they ruled them. As for the kind and friendly Totems, they would be abandoned and killed in the end.
As a result, the Totems that used to rule the world had almost gone extinct. The remaining Totems were hiding deep in the mountains and forests, no longer interacting with humans.
"So you think the humans are at fault?" Chief Hua asked.
Mofan shook his head.
It was nothing more than the passage of time. A thousand years had passed, and the sea had changed into mulberry fields. Any species would rise or fall.
"Am I wrong?" Mofan asked.
Since Leader Hua had asked about the totem, it was likely that someone of his level would know more about it.
"No, it's a very correct deduction. Within a hundred years of magic awakening, the Totems were killed. The Totems Alliance formed to kill the Totems eventually established the Human Magic Association. It has a high status and no one can disobey it, "Chief Hua Zhanhong said.
Chief Hua Zhanhong paused and poured a glass of water for Mofan. "But you're only half right."
Mofan took a sip of water. He could tell that Chief Hua had a long story to tell him, so he sat up straight and waited for the Chief's opinion on the Totems.
"Didn't I tell you at the beginning that we humans had experienced a darker period than the current one, but we survived in the end?" Chief Hua Zhanhong said.
Mofan nodded.
"It was during that period. We had just gained our own power, and the first Alliance of the Magic Association was expelling and killing the Totems, "Chief Hua Zhanhong said.
"The humans and the Totems fought fiercely?" Mofan interrupted.
Chief Hua Zhanhong shook his head and said, "The Totems didn't fight back strongly, but there were a lot of sea monsters along the coast of the Divine Land. A dynasty that claimed to be the Sea Gods invaded and massacred the Totems. The human Magic Army that had just taken shape suffered the most painful blow, and almost went extinct during that era."
When Mo Fan heard this, his face was filled with astonishment.
During that period, the sea monsters had already launched a full-scale war, and almost wiped out the human Magicians?
If the humans lost their Magicians, most of them would become the slaves of the demon creatures, like livestock in captivity!
"During that period, we did pay a huge price for our arrogance. On one hand, we were at war with the Totems. On the other hand, we were invaded by the sea monsters. However … the Magicians didn't go extinct, "Chief Hua Zhanhong lamented the time that he had never witnessed.
"We survived, but how did we survive?" Mofan asked anxiously.
"At first, I thought we survived, too. Maybe the rise of the Magic School that is now recorded in the textbooks allowed us to survive the dark period. Then, a sincere man came to me. The reason why the Magicians were able to survive and our descendants didn't become the slaves of the demon creatures was because of the Totems! "Chief Hua Zhanhong said slowly.
Because of the Totems?
Weren't the humans at war with the Totems? Why were they attacking the demon creatures?
