Lord of the Truth

Chapter 455 World History - 3

?

"True horror... This is what happened after the ancient Treants took over the lands around them." Fugon's pupils widened slightly as if he can see everything before him, "Our world has never known this idea of borders, anyone could go anywhere as long as they didn't provoke the powerful Treant creatures in that area, even when we humans tried to make a kingdom or a walled city, In a more precise sense, we were attacked in every way because the Treants do not like the idea of privacy and borders, but that is exactly what the ancient Treants did.."

Then he added, "That period witnessed an incomprehensible race between those ancient Treants over who controls the largest patch of land, after the world was completely open for everyone, it became scattered circles, and in the middle of each circle lies an ancient Trent creature trying in every way to kill all the creatures in that circle, we called them Domination Circles. In just a few years, the number of those domination circles reached more than forty, and every day the circles expanded to include more and more pieces of land!" 

He paused for a second and then continued, "...Can you imagine what this did to the rest of the world's creatures at that time? We, humans, have been weak and scattered because of the head-lowering policy, And the rest of the Treants were in deep fear of their ancestors plus they are not the type to coordinate and have major battles type of race, so with no escape and without anyone to stand up to the ancient Treants, everyone started running in random directions non-stop... and this escape frenzy did not last for a day or two, but it became a normal daily activity for our ancestors. It was not strange to see a group of tens to thousands of people and treants moving together. The mass migration that did not stop for a single moment exhausted everyone to the core, and whoever stopped for a moment or entered another domination circle unintentionally, then they were among the doomed."

Robin furrowed his eyebrows slightly after hearing this… For one of the ancient Treants to gain extra strength after a period of closed cultivation is quite explainable, but forty ancient Treants started to show strength at the same time and took the initiative to try to take over territory at the same time as well.

'Maybe those ancient Treants were cooperating with each other to eventually take over the whole world together? this is understandable, the world is huge and has a lot of creatures to kill, and this way they would finish their task much faster... This is the only logical answer anyway.' Robin thought to himself, but Fugon's next words destroyed his belief.

"...Only a hundred years after the era of the domination circles began, the circles widened so terribly and so suffocatingly multiplied that we humans and the rest of the common Treant creatures had nowhere else to go, with a domination circle front and back, right and left. It became so tight that the different domination circles began to touch, and everyone who stood between them was slaughtered, the blood at that period, whether green or red, flooded the world…" 

At that moment, Fugon's tone changed to show a bit of pride, "When all the creatures of the world at that time believed that death was inevitable, someone stepped forward The human geniuses of the Night Eagles tribe have a technique that enables humans to cultivate the second stage of the Blue Flame Minor Law, and with the help of that technique, our species advanced to a completely different level of strength in a short time!"

Robin opened his mouth in a small curl in astonishment, according to the timeline that Fugon had drawn so far, hadn't it been two and a half thousand years since the history of energy cultivation began, but someone had invented a Saint-level law technique already? This kind of speed is breathtaking, it is something he hasn't heard of in either Planet Nihari or Planet Jura...

The Night Eagles tribe were able, thanks to their new strength, to establish their positions and stop the progress of the domination circles towards them, and they also sent messengers with the details of the new technique to all the human tribes whose locations were known, then those tribes sent messengers to the tribes they knew, and so on~ Within one year, the second-stage technique of the Minor Heavenly Law of Blue Flame spread in almost the entire world, we humans were able to fix our positions and make our own domination circles!" Fugon spoke with apparent pride, "The domination circles of us humans were the safe haven of all intelligent creatures, even all the fleeing Treants came to us seeking refuge and protection in return for serving as our servants."

Even Alexander and Caesar raised their eyebrows slightly and felt some pride and excitement at Fugon's words, even though they had nothing to do with this world in the first place...

"Then what? That didn't answer any of my questions yet..." Robin shook his head slightly, if this is just the history of the planet, there are a lot of missing links.

"Calm down, who said I'm finished? But this is strange, I haven't reached the points you know yet?... It seems to me that the history you received is TOO incomplete, isn't it? Even if some of it were lost, you should still at least know something, right?" Fugon raised his eyebrows slightly and asked doubtfully

"...Please continue." Robin didn't even try to come up with any excuses and spoke up

"...Sigh~ Alright then… The strongholds established by us humans were entirely based on defense because their strength was roughly equivalent to that of the ancient Treant creatures at the time. It was just about enough to stop the continuous advance of the domination circles while paying a huge bill for it, so the advance towards the human strongholds stopped for quite a few years, but it didn't stop the war in the world… When those Ancient Trents found out that human strongholds became like a metal wall and it was no use advancing in these areas anymore, they started fighting each other, and trying to seize parts of the domination circles from each other! During the third millennium of the beginning of the Energy Cultivation Era, those Ancient Trents destroyed each other until there was less than half of them left, But we did not benefit much from this, as the surviving half of them took control of the lands of the losers... We, humans, were left out of that major war, but at least we survived it."

Robin widened his eye, "They just started killing each other? This denies that there was any cooperation between them, Rather, we can also explain the race to control more lands was to improve their conditions when that great war between each other begins later... But you said that the Treants just want to relax under the sun, Why do they need to control such large patches of land? If it was to create a good environment for their bloodline, For example, this may be understandable, but they killed everyone in their domination circles! First, they killed the young of their own kind, and then they killed each other. This is strange, very strange..."

Fugon nodded, "This indeed was a mystery that preoccupied humans and the rest of the Treant races for a very long time, being in a species massacre war and not even knowing why was quite a sad thing, until finally, parts of the answer began to appear and it shocked everyone alive to the core… One day in the third millennium there was a great battle between two ancient Trents and they seriously injured each other, so the Human tripe Winter Snakes decided to attack the nearest domination circle and took some new territory for themselves, this was their first real counterattack in a very long time, the first time we humans took the initiative to enter deep into a domination circle!" 

Then he looked deep into Robin's eyes and continued, "But after they penetrated deep into that domination circle, they started to feel changes all around them, the natural energy was noticeably lighter there and the Heavenly Laws were completely different… It seemed as if they had entered another world."
