113 The Reason for The Fall of The Ancient Empire
“It’s the Divine Knight!”
It was the guardian of the ancient empire!
“The most ancient Overlord!” said Su Wan.
The ancient era didn’t have many rules for Lords and heroes like today. The strong ones signed a contract with the heroes from the Hero Plane and became the Divine Knights.
They signed the contract with the heroes and obtained the Heart of the Element, which became the Territory Core in the future. Therefore, they could be considered the first generation of Overlords.
When Su Wan cried out in shock, Shi Linglong finally noticed her. “Wanwan?!” she exclaimed.
Shi Linglong felt as though she had met her savior. The only person who made her feel at peace was Su Wan and her hero, Xu Yuan.
She was being chased by a Divine Knight, but Shi Linglong’s confidence surged when she saw Su Wan.
As for Xu Yuan, an idea sprang up in his mind when he saw the Divine Knight. He thought that the Divine Knight might have the Elemental Heart that he was currently collecting. The Diving Knight looked very powerful, so his Elemental Heart must be very strong.
However, before Xu Yuan could make a move, the White Dragon Saint rushed forward.
The White Dragon Saint used his claws to slash at the enemy. But it was like an iron being struck. The White Dragon Saint’s claws were numb from the shock. However, it didn’t affect the Divine Knights.
The White Dragon Saint realized that the thing in front of him was a skeleton in broken armor.
“Intruder!” shouted the Divine Knight. “How dare you disturb my master’s eternal sleep?”
The White Dragon Saint was stunned. He attacked again. This time, he didn’t attack physically. He used Dragon Music and Dragon Breath.
A bunch of spells bombarded the area. Explosions happened and dust filled the air. The skeleton slowly walked out of the smoke.
“It’s immune to magic?” The White Dragon Saint began to doubt everything.
Both physical and magical attacks were useless. This thing was unnatural.
At this time, Su Wan made her move. She transformed into a half-dragon form. Pitch-black Dragon’s Breath surrounded the skeleton.
“This is…,” muttered the skeleton. The skeleton was flustered. “You’re from the upper realm?”
The skeleton was burned by the dark flames. The skeleton didn’t scream. He stood quietly and let the flames burn him.
“You once destroyed the empire,” said the skeleton. “Now that the empire is recovering, are you here to stop it?”
The skeleton’s calm voice made Su Wan fearful. There was too much confusing information to unpack here.
The upper realm was the Hero Plane. Su Wan and everyone else here called it the Hero Plane. Those who still called it the “upper realm” were the creatures in Overlord Plane.
“Upper realm caused the empire to flood?” Su Wan and Shi Linglong looked at each other in shock.
“Wanwan, this might be hard to believe, but it’s the truth.” She had read about it somewhere a long time ago.
Shi Linglong patted Su Wan on the shoulder.
“It was the upper realm that led the ancient empire to its destruction.”
Su Wan was still in disbelief. But Shi Linglong sounded certain.
“Which hero did it?” asked Su Wan.
Before Shi Linglong could answer, the skeleton that was enveloped in black flames let out a roar.
“All of you are the God King’s lackeys! Don’t even think about destroying our home again!”
The skeleton rushed toward Su Wan. But he was burned to ashes before he even reached her.
The ashes drifted in the air. The words of the Divine Knight echoed in everyone’s mind.
“God King Tao Wu?” muttered Xu Yuan. His eyes narrowed.
At this time, Shi Linglong was talking with Su Wan. She was telling her about how she arrived here and what had happened along the way. All of this had to do with Shi Linglong’s knack for attracting trouble.
Shi Ling was on the Hit List of the Dark Screen. They had even tried to kidnap her recently.
Fortunately, Shi Linglong’s hero, the Flower Fairy, was very efficient. She always helped Shi Linglong escape from dangerous situations.
This time, they were in search of the Sunken City. Like Su Wan, she wanted to kill a few ancient souls to obtain some resources. However, Shi Linglong encountered members of Dark Screen.
The Dark Screen member had been drawing runes.
“I happened to pass by right at that time,” said Shi Linglong. “That b*stard accused me of being a spy. He wanted to kill me because I saw him drawing the runes!”
Shi Linglong was furious. She felt that she had been wrongly accused.
“Linglong, were you really just passing by?” asked Su Wan.
Su Wan was a little suspicious of her friend. She always said she was just passing by, but every incident was somehow connected to her. Why was she always hunted down by the Dark Screen?
“It’s true!” Shi Linglong stomped her feet in anger when she realized her friend doubted her.
“Forget it, let’s not talk about these things,” she said. “Wanwan, I made a huge discovery while I was on the run!”
Shi Linglong told Su Wan that she entered the Sunken City from a crack that had appeared around fifty kilometers away.
She had encountered the Dark Screen members and had been running since then. She had found many runes on her way here.
“The empire’s magic technology had been incomparably prosperous. It was so advanced that they could even launch an expedition to the sea and the stars!” said Shi Linglong. “The upper realm destroyed the empire when it was at its peak!”
Shi Linglong excitedly shared this information with her friend. It wasn’t just the empire that had been destroyed but the entire land!
All the living beings on the land were annihilated in the world-ending flood.
