Chapter 1086: Ancient Records
There were many ancient records, all stored neatly on the bookshelves. Each book was made from high-class beast leather as the power of the divine hall circulated within. It provided two layers of protection for the books, so they could last for a very long time.
Even though that was the case, many books still possessed some wear. Even though they were made from high-class beast leather and were protected by the divine hall’s power, they had begun to yellow, like an old man approaching his end.
Everything major that had happened since ancient times had been recorded, along with some unprecedented occurrences and extremely famous figures. This included records regarding the greatest human expert, Mo Tianyun, the Winged Tiger God of the Beast God Continent, the war god Aergyns of the Hundred Races, and the sea goddess.
Jian Chen had always been extremely curious regarding the matters that had occurred between the four of them, so he began to flip through their information first.
He looked up Mo Tianyun first. He wanted to learn about Mo Tianyun’s growth. He must have had a glorious record of battles as an unparalleled legend.
However, Jian Chen suddenly discovered that there were no such records after flipping through them. Mo Tianyun’s name rocked through the world when the Hundred Races invaded since he had fended them off. However, before the invasion, Jian Chen actually found no information regarding him at all, as if he had truly emerged from a fairytale.
Also, as soon as he had appeared, his strength was unparalleled. No one was his opponent, and he was invincible. He blocked the experts of the Hundred Races that had forced the humans to retreat all by himself, killing many of members of the Hundred Races before going to outer space and guarding the Tian Yuan Continent as a form of deterrence.
Afterward, the war god of the Hundred Races, Aergyns, stepped into outer space with his golden battle-axe. His battle intent flooded the world, causing the sky to shatter. He was embroiled in a grand battle with Mo Tianyun.
During that battle, both the heaven and earth cracked. The entire continent shook and lost a tenth of its area, transforming into the sea. In the end, Aergyns retreated in defeat.
During that age, the world was chaotic. Saint Emperors emerged one after another, while the humans, magical beasts, and members of the Hundred Races warred constantly. There were countless casualties.
The Hundred Races originally inhabited the Beast God Continent, before they were chased out by the Winged Tiger God and the experts of the magical beasts. That was how the ancient war began. The Hundred Races first retaliated against the magical beasts, and after no success, they turned to the humans. They wanted to occupy the Tian Yuan Continent, but they were all stopped by Mo Tianyun.
Aergyns clashed with Mo Tianyun many times, and the last time they fought was at the center of the continent.
It was the most intense battle. Mo Tianyun displayed his vast abilities while Aergyns used his great Mysteries of War. The pressure was so great that even Saint Emperors could not withstand it, forcing them to retreat over ten thousand kilometers away.
However, the battle ended extremely quickly as well. The moment it began, Aergyns tried to retreat in defeat once more. He suffered unprecedented injuries, never daring to step upon the Tian Yuan Continent again. A bottomless pit had formed below their battleground, and Mo Tianyun used his abilities to move the earth, filling it in. He founded Mercenary City there.
Jian Chen gasped inside as he read up to that point. The moment Mo Tianyun injured the war god, he had suffered unprecedented injuries. Just how great was he? Jian Chen even seemed to be able to imagine Mo Tianyun standing in a heroic posture as his white robes ruffled in the wind.
“The bottomless pit definitely is the tunnel to the World of Forsaken Saints,” Jian Chen murmured as he held onto the book. He continued to browse through it.
After retreating from the battle with Mo Tianyun, the Hundred Races did not give up. The war god then lead his clansmen to attack the magical beasts again, leading to great casualties on both sides. After several battles, the war god was slain by the Winged Tiger God in the end. Golden blood splattered across the earth.
From then on, the four supreme experts of the ancient times turned into three.
It was rumored that the war god’s body would not rot even though he had died. It would exist forever, so the experts of the Hundred Races retrieved it along with the war god’s blood. They wanted to use an absolute technique to revive him.
But, in the end, the Winged Tiger God descended and took away the war god’s corpse, interfering with their plan of revival. He used his great abilities to seal the war god’s corpse into a bleak continent, and the war between the three races ended there.
Mo Tianyun became the city lord of Mercenary City and faded from the center of attention over the next few decades. Afterward, he vanished, only leaving behind one message. He had already secretly struck an agreement with the Winged Tiger God: the Tian Yuan Continent and the Beast God Continent would never go to war against each other.
