“We were fighting the Totem Beasts, but it was the Totem Beasts who drove away the sea monsters.
“During that battle, the four Sacred Totem Beasts were killed. The direct descendants of the Totem Beasts were wiped out, too.
“Humans survived, but the Totem Beasts fought the Sea Gods over the course of several dozen years. Both sides suffered great casualties.
“After the war, the old Totem Beasts died off and the Sea Gods started to decline. Humanity took hold of the opportunity to grow and build our own cities. We began to have our own lands and civilization.”
Mo Fan was lost in thought.
The sea monsters had invaded their land thousands of years ago, and almost killed all their Mages.
The sea monsters were also the reason why the old Totem Beasts had died. The old Totem Beasts had fought a prolonged war with the Sea Gods, and dyed the seas red!
“The kingdom of sea monsters that is invading our coasts is led by the Sea Gods. They have recovered their strength after resting for several thousand years. They have reclaimed their thrones in the Pacific Ocean and have returned to our seas…” Hua Zhanhong went on.
Mo Fan kept wondering how the Totem Beasts had died, but he had never expected that the kingdoms of sea monsters were the culprit!
The kingdoms of the sea monsters were made up of the descendants of the ancient Sea Gods!
“The Sea Gods have reclaimed their glory after resting for a long time, but not only are the Totem Beasts unable to rise again, they are on the verge of extinction, too!” Hua Zhanhong let out a sigh.
Mo Fan was unable to calm down.
Was this the truth behind the Totem Beasts’ decline?
Humanity had declared war against the Totem Beasts after Awakening Magic. At the same time, the Sea Gods came to invade their land. Humans did not stand a chance against them. The Totem Beasts paid a great price to protect their homes!
The Sea Gods had returned once again, but the Totem Beasts were no longer around.
Mo Fan immediately thought of the Black Totem Snake.
It had worked extremely hard just to stay alive in the face of humanity’s distrust, but when the White Magic Falcons attacked Hangzhou, it had still stepped forward to protect the city.
“There are too many powerful creatures among the sea monsters. They are not afraid of our magic. Even though we have to rely on ourselves in the war against the sea monsters, we still need the Totem Beasts’ help. Only their ancient and mysterious power can defeat the sea monsters,” Hua Zhanhong admitted.
“So that’s why Shao Zheng wants me to talk to you,” Mo Fan mused.
“Exactly. I know you young ones must feel extremely lost and helpless against the waves that are destroying our coasts, but you have an important duty, too. Every ancient Totem Beast you find will increase our odds of winning the war!” Hua Zhanhong declared.
Chairman Shao Zheng kept emphasizing the importance of finding the Totem Beasts.
Mo Fan finally understood why he was so desperately looking for the Totem Beasts after hearing the truth from Chief Hua.
Their army, Mages, and Hunters did not stand a chance against the sea monsters’ invasion. They desperately needed the ancient Totem Beasts to fend off the sea monsters!
“I thought you were going to send us to the cities that are needing some help, but I’m more than willing to take the job you offered,” Mo Fan replied.
Mo Fan had close ties with the Totem Beasts. If their leaders were so keen to look for the Totem Beasts, he would do his best to find them!
“I never said you wouldn’t be going to battle,” Hua Zhanhong warned him.
