Chapter 200 - Legacy (2/2)
“The Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan kicked off the last golden era of the ancestral world” Peacock continued, “it was tilobal supernatural alliance was formed and it collected the elites from all the countries They revealed theend amounted to several trillion people”
‘I wouldn’t say several trillion but there was at least several billion’ Gu Jun thought ‘Global Supernatural Alliance?’ He did hear Elder Tong mention that Phecda would push towards international cooperation to forether so easily? Especially during a time of peace? Gu Jun had his doubts, this was probably another exaggeration or a confusion in the timeline
“It was an era of heroes and heroines! The elites from all over the world inherited the spirit of the Phecda Hero, they obtained power from Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan and led the people to defeat the supernatural evil and take down all the villains” Peacock said proudly but as this was a tragedy, as she reached the denoueolden era ended, came the era of collapse… First it was the epideend, the disease was airborne and once infected, the victim would perish within days”
Gu Jun’s heart squeezed i of the epidemic… he knew very hat that s Disease? Why is it called that?” he asked as a flash of shadow crossed his n civilization
“According to legend, the disease would affect the patient’s lungs first before it spread to the rest of the body” Peacock could not give more details about the symptoms because she did not know either “In the end, the patients would die frohs…’ Gu Jun leaned against the chair and closed his eyes tiredly ‘But haemoptysis is not supposed to be airborne… Has it mutated when it arrived on earth or this is another eend?’ In any case, Gu Jun believed this bloody Lungs Disease was definitely haemoptysis ‘So in Peacock’s story, haee earth in the future, or at least the future ofof the Afterlife Cult?’
“There were two other epide the era of collapse” Peacock’s voice dimmed “The first was the Petrification Disease that would turn people into stone and the other is the Mutated Scale Disease that will turn the victim’s skin into fish scale before they crack”
Gu Jun’s heart sank even further ‘Multiple epidemics at the same time? Fish scale? If this was just a description of one’s appearance, then there was a skin disease currently in existence called ichthyosis vulgaris A mutation of this disease can be responsible for the Mutated Scale Disease… But hoould one turn into stone? Is that an effect of a spell? Because petrification is biologically iurative speech? Could it mean immobilization… like Locked-in Syndro into stone?” He asked, “What kind of stone are you talking about?”
“Erm…” Both Peacock and Malachite were confused Malachite responded with irritation, “Stone is stone, the material used to hed, “is still too insignificant”
“From their discovery to their spread all over the world, the tione silent, Peacock took the cue to continue on her own “In less than a year, all the cities had collapsed, the whole world cruht all the survivors to set up the last bulwark at the south pole called ‘The City of Kindles’, but the arctic as no refuge against the disease, in the end… the ten thousand kindles ”

Malachite’s jaas clenched, he did not sigh or voice anything, he was paying respect to the loss of huolden era
“Okay” Gu Jun’s mind was fuzzy He stared at the two and closely observed them, the more he did, the more unfamiliar he felt…
No, these tere not Asian The details that he did not notice for the past few days now surfaced They had enetic influence Global ration would ensure that… Gu Jun could see that they were not lying but it did not help clear up his mind Peacock was about to continue her story of what happened to the ten thousand kindles after they arrived at Dreamlands but Gu Jun stopped her He asked with a frown “The Goddess of Life that you mentioned, what happened to her then?”
