It was impossible to completely change human nature. The strong preyed on the weak, that was the eternal truth of the universe. Therefore, Reynolds could only admire her superb singing skills, but did not dare to agree with her dreams.
Irene was also completely immersed in Painted Heart's magical singing, holding her cheeks and forgetting everything. Gradually, the school tournament had been over for some time, and Reynolds's strength had completely recovered. Irene's injuries had also completely healed.
School life had once again returned to tranquility.
Another night, Reynolds opened a new light element mirror after dinner as usual, thinking about his next plan. Should he continue to study in the academy, or take Irene to travel the continent to find the truth of this world?
At this time, a report attracted his attention. Something else was broadcasted in the time of the usual aristocratic and celebrity scandals.
"After the weird problem of the growth rate of the edible crops, another strange thing has happened in the Imperium. According to the statistics provided by the annual Class Census, a large number of mercenary group leaders and leaders of other combat groups have died unexpectedly in the past year. The number has reached an astonishing number!"
This report surprised Reynolds. At this time, seeing Leah come out of the bathroom after a shower, he could not help but ask, "Shijun, do you know what's going on?"
Leah looked and said, "I'm not sure, but there seems to be reliable news that Leader Glenn was attacked on the battlefield, but I'm not sure if he's okay."
"Is that so …"
Reynolds frowned.
Seeing Reynolds like this, Leah could not help but tease, "What's wrong, Reynolds, do you also care about this country's affairs?"
Reynolds smiled and said, "No, just casually asking."
…
The mirror program recently broadcasted another big news, this time not only causing a sensation in the Tang Empire, but also the whole continent: The Ji Suer Orc Empire bordering the east of the Tang Empire, and the Tridoxi Elven Paradise near the Sea of Tianluan that divided the continent into the north and south. The powerful countries of the two continents also found in the annual census that mercenary group leaders and other combat group leaders died or were seriously injured last year.
…
As soon as this report came out, the people of the continent suddenly panicked, especially the war leaders. Everyone felt that they were in danger, but the panic was not over yet. One after another, shocking reports came in like snowflakes. The Orc Alliance, the Dwarves' Odomai Empire, the Forest Kingdom of the Forest Lord, the Nightwalker's Nightless City, the Water People's Mist Kingdom … The distant western country of Babeka, one by one, large and small countries, coincidentally encountered the same misfortune. Just when people thought that it was the devil's curse, they discovered a shocking secret. These countries were all either in the western or southwestern regions of the continent. The Mecca Empire, which was located in the northwest, was dominated by the Yaksha Tribe, the Wild Sand City, which was filled with Sandmen, and the Dark Empire, which everyone thought was a strange incarnation of the Bloodsucking Devil Star Tribe, and the Soul Capital, which was the Psionic Tribe's Soul Capital … There were no abnormalities at all.
Why was there such a huge difference between the two sides of the Heavenly Luan Sea? A terrifying conjecture that had never appeared before began to circulate among the people of the southeast and central regions of the continent. Even the Empire's attacks were unable to suppress it, and the society was in turmoil.
The people's conjecture was quickly confirmed. The Tang Empire, which was located in the central region of the continent, bore the brunt of the sudden and powerful attack from the similarly powerful Mecca Empire. As for the other countries in the northwest, they also crossed the Heavenly Luan Sea and attacked the small countries along the coastline.
A large-scale war that involved the entire world, which was also the first civil war between the humans in the King's Land, began in such a grand manner without any warning!
The first war between the humans took place on the 26th of the 15th month of the year 2109. It was also known as the 1st of January of the Heavenly Luan Sea. It marked the break of the friendly relationship between the humans on both sides of the Heavenly Luan Sea, and the beginning of the chaotic era.
The King's Land had a history of more than two thousand years, and had similarly gone through different stages. From the beginning, they relied on their own innate qualities, using natural objects or fists as weapons. Gradually, they developed to learn how to use metal weapons, make armors, and create their own skills. Due to the existence of a common enemy — the demonic beasts and demonic seeds, the various major forces and groups of the continent had always maintained a friendly and cooperative relationship, jointly resisting the invasion of the demonic beasts and helping each other.
Due to the strength of the demonic seeds, the humans could only drag out an ignoble existence along with the slow growth of their strength. Every time the demonic beasts attacked the cities, the deaths of the human population and the subsequent births had always been in a state of balance. The emergence of magic more than five hundred years ago was a milestone in the development of human strength. Since then, humans understood how to use the elemental forces of nature to contend with the demonic beasts, and slowly gained the upper hand. They began to develop cities with powerful defenses, and even established countries. Furthermore, the emergence of guilds and other products to maintain social discipline. The lofty status of the magician reached its peak during this period. They held the power of life and death, and no other profession could be compared to them, until the birth of the cultivation technique two hundred years ago.
As a kind of ingenious method of using and growing power, which was similar to magic, the spiritual power brought about by the cultivation technique quickly broke the monopoly of the magician, allowing other professions to have the capital to be comparable to the magician, who was considered as the savior of mankind. Warrior, Knight, Archer, Assassin, Hunter, Dominator, and other professions prospered after the emergence of spiritual power. As for the special fighting professions such as Spirit Envoy, Charm Master, Summoner, and so on, they were born from the combination of magic and spiritual power, and were very powerful.
Of course, it was impossible for humans to contend with all the demonic beasts in the continent, and they also couldn't be like Earth, where they could kill other threatening creatures. First of all, the demonic beasts were formed from demonic power, and could be endlessly multiplied. Secondly, the number of demonic beasts was too terrifying. Except for the various human bases and towns, the rest of the continent was occupied by demonic beasts. Fortunately, only a part of them participated in the siege, and not all of them, otherwise, the human race would have already perished.
However, as the overall strength of the human race increased, the strength of the demonic beasts also increased. The mutated demonic beasts became more and more powerful, as if they were restricted by some invisible law. The strength of the demonic beasts in the King's Mainland had always been in a delicate balance. If magic was a milestone in the development of human strength, then spiritual power was the turning point of the divergence of power between humans and demonic beasts. It made the overall strength of the human race develop rapidly in the past two hundred years, and their resistance to the demonic beasts became stronger and stronger. Every time the demonic beasts attacked the cities, the losses were reduced day by day, and the growth of the demonic beasts finally couldn't keep up.
