Don't Mess with That Dragon

The general origin of the Fallen Divine Kingdom is probably like this.

However, Austin had another question.

"The kingdom falls from the starry sky, its light illuminating the entire sky, which must have attracted countless attention. Even Legendary Level beings couldn't pinpoint where the kingdom finally fell, but epic beings attuned to the power of time would definitely notice some clues. Why, after countless years, has that kingdom still not been discovered?"

Doubt suddenly arose in his heart.

The fall of a divine being is no small matter. It is said that the divine beings are related to the most basic rules that compose the world, the very foundation of the Prime Material Plane's stability.

When they die, the Divine Kingdom suspended in the starry sky falls like a meteor, the sky weeps with blood, and such a massive disturbance can be felt across the entire Prime Material Plane.

Although the Divine Kingdom's ability to hide is strong, after the death of a divine being, the broken kingdom can't conceal itself from the senses of epic beings who wield the power of time.

Epic Level beings can find the location of the kingdom through the traces of its fall.

Any kingdom, especially one belonging to a fallen divine being, would drive even an epic being to madness!

However, the kingdom beneath the Volcanic Cluster Domain remained concealed for unknown years, until recently when a mysterious person took the most important thing from it, causing the soon-to-collapse kingdom to be exposed.

This doesn't quite add up.

Why wasn't the kingdom discovered right when it fell?

Suddenly, a chilling possibility arose in Austin's mind.

Unless,

on that day, not just this one divine being died!

With the fall of the gods, the stars trembled and scattered in all directions.

Countless stars fell from the starry sky, dispersing to various places of the Prime Material Plane, the entire sky dyed red with blood, and heaven and earth mourned.

A countless number of meteors fell from the sky, and their falling locations couldn't be recorded or calculated.

It's very likely that it was a war in which countless divine beings perished.

It might have even swept across the entire Prime Material Plane, with corpse mountains and blood seas everywhere, and no one cared about the fallen Divine Kingdoms.

Only such an occasion could allow a fallen divine being's kingdom to remain hidden for countless years, until the moment it voluntarily revealed itself!

The result of this conjecture made Austin's scalp tingle with fear.

He felt an overwhelming terror envelop him, which he had to suppress with difficulty and bury deep within his heart.

"Even the gods have died..."

Austin looked up, his gaze deep as he stared at the sky above.

If his guess was correct, he already knew the owner of that Divine Kingdom beneath the Volcanic Cluster Domain.

When he entered the Divine Hall, Austin saw the huge, half-collapsed emblem on the cathedral.

Witnessing the old priest's shadow and the experiences along the river of time behind him, that divine being's emblem appeared and vanished.

That was the Beast God's emblem!

In the Kawa Great Forest, the countless lower-level Beastmen, in their difficult struggles, never stopped praying to the Beast God!

The Beast God may have fallen.

Therefore, no matter how sincerely the struggling Beastmen prayed, it would never elicit a response.

And the Fallen Divine Kingdom beneath the Volcanic Cluster Domain might have belonged to the former Beast God!

Austin suddenly felt the pressure on him intensify.

The mysterious figure that took the most important item within the Beast God Divine Kingdom, the Beastman Royal Court at the core, the undead calamity sweeping through the entire Great Forest...

All these intertwined in his mind, forming a massive, dense spider web, covering the entire Great Forest area, ensnaring all creatures within, making escape impossible for any caught in it.

No wonder those lurking behind the Tribe Alliance, pushing everything forward, were so cautious among the Legends.

They probably had long noticed that the Beastman Royal Court occupying the core was not so simple.

It remains unknown whether some divine beings are orchestrating the downfall of the Beastman Empire remnants this time.

"Desecrators, could the fallen divine beings be connected to the former Beastman Empire? If such a great war causing countless divine beings to fall truly occurred, what role did the Beastman Empire play in it?"

More and more questions arose in his mind,

Elf Kingdom, Beastman Empire, alliances, fallen divine beings, divine war, waves of undead calamities, and the "preordained fate" uttered by the old priest's remnant soul before leaving the Divine Kingdom...

Austin instinctively felt that there was a massive secret behind all these, but lacking information, he couldn't make any guesses.

"Hah, well, these matters are beyond my reach for now."

After pondering long without any clues, Austin sighed, burying the many questions deep in his heart.

Some things can't be changed, even if one knows about them.

Faced with epic beings and divine presences wielding the power of time, what can a small Half-Legendary do but quietly watch from the sidelines and hope not to be crushed?

Fortunately, this war engulfing the entire Kawa Great Forest seems unlikely to attract such terrifying presences.

"Even if the old Beastman Empire was indeed linked to the brutal war causing divine falls, the current Beastman Royal Court is nothing more than the remnants of the old empire..."

"Covering the tomb with the last shovelful of dirt is but the last ripple of the old war. No matter how far-reaching, no great force might get involved in this water muddle."

This counterattack to erase the Beastman Royal Court's core may already involve the Legendary personally, so there's no need to worry too much.

"But ultimately, strength is one's true foundation!"

A glow of determination passed through Austin's pupils.

Many previous speculations may be inaccurate, but Austin had already understood one truth.

Only by becoming stronger can one grasp their own life and destiny!

Even though Austin had now reached Half-Legendary, within the Kawa Great Forest, nothing could threaten his life.

Even against a Legendary, he could escape.

He no longer has any survival worries at all.

But it's still too weak.

Even gods high above, deemed eternally unyielding, could fall one day. How much less could a mere Half-Legendary survive?

Feeling the pressure of the times, Austin began to intensely enhance his own strength in seclusion.

Indeed, not long after waking from a slumber, Austin planned to seclude for cultivation again.

After delegating tribal matters to his Beastman subordinates, Austin once more retreated for cultivation.

Fortunately, it was now the cold winter period, the entire tribe had nothing significant going on, and he didn't need to watch over constantly.

This allowed him to focus wholeheartedly on improving himself in seclusion.

Currently, Austin possessed the four laws of wind, thunder, water, and fire within him.

Yet, besides the laws of wind and thunder, he hadn't honed the others well, and his grasp of the Law of Water and Flame Law remained at a very low level.

This seclusion, Austin aimed to continuously comprehend the two laws, letting the laws of water and fire reach the level of control he had over wind and thunder.

At the same time, he intended to forge the divine swords for the Law of Water and Flame Law, completing four Divine Swords with distinct attribute powers.

Once all four Law Divine Swords were crafted, he would begin developing the Four Spirits Sword Array, massively enhancing his own ability.
