But Raxor didn’t get angry. Instead, it scoffed with disdain. “How could a lowly practitioner like you possibly comprehend my existence?!”
“Back in the Battle of the Three Realms, I was one of the Four Great Beast Kings under the Monarch of Mortals, commanding millions of beasts. With a single roar, I could shake mountains. I slaughtered countless Immortals. They were left in a state of utter defeat, with armor discarded and blood flowing like rivers!”
It paused and continued with a tone full of nostalgia, “Back then, I stood next to the Monarch of Mortals, overlooking all living beings. All creatures submitted to me, and none dared to disobey. It was truly grand. But now…”
It trailed off, going silent.
The Monarch of Mortals?
Remus originally planned to appease the beast.
Having seen Shenington’s beast, favonovel.com was more aware of their abilities. Ultimately, the beast was only uncertain of its ability to escape this volcano. But upon hearing the words “Monarch of Mortals”, Remus for some reason felt a bit curious.
“Who is the Monarch of Mortals? The emperor?”
He had studied natural history with Tyson in the mountains, but all they talked about was the emperor. Remus couldn’t recall ever hearing the title “Monarch of Mortals” or any stories of an emperor having a beast by their side.
Raxor quickly recovered from the sadness. Because it had been lonely for so long, it continued chattering.
With disdain, it said, “What’s so special about the emperors? Their thrones are bestowed by the heavens, meaning they are sent from the Upper Realms to govern the human world. On certain special days, they even have to perform rituals to honor the Upper Realms. They seem completely like a slave…”
“But the Monarch of Mortals is the human world’s ruler and the master of all living beings on this vast earth. They do not worship the heavens or the earth, or revere spirits.”
“During the Battle of the Three Realms, it was the Monarch of Mortals who led all beings to fight against the Upper Realms. If not for the critical moment when the spirits of the dead joined in, the Upper Realms would have stood no chance!”
The Monarch of Mortals has long led us to annihilate the Celestial Immortals, dominating the three realms. Hmph!”
Remus was becoming more and more engrossed, feeling as though favonovel.com had heard this story somewhere before. However, while it had similarities, it wasn’t exactly the same.
Spirits of the Dead?
Did that mean the emperor of the underworld was also involved?
But it didn’t matter, because Remus suddenly remembered hearing the term “Monarch of Mortals” before from the Dragon Protector Clan.
If favonovel.com remembered correctly, the Dragon Protector Clan’s mission was to conquer the Upper Realms, which was why they aimed to master martial arts. Plus, the island where the Dragon Protector Clan was located was called the Island of the Monarch, and their hall was called the Monarch Palace.
Could all of this be connected?
Remus asked tentatively, ” Have you heard of the Dragon Protector Clan?”
Raxor responded, “The Dragon Clan? Ha! They might sound prestigious to you puny humans, but in reality, they are merely pets kept by the Upper Realms’ children!”
“On special occasions, they even have to eat dragon tendons and drink their blood. They all boast about being outstanding people, but in reality, they’re nothing more than vermins. Without the Monarch of Mortals, humans in the mortal realm have become cheap and insignificant!”
Remus couldn’t help but stand up, not asking further questions. Even though Raxor had mistaken the Dragon Protector Clan for the Dragon Clan, it didn’t affect the outcome.
If it had heard of the Dragon Protector Clan before, it wouldn’t have made the mistake. It meant Raxor had never heard of them before.
After pondering for a moment, Remus asked again, “Have you ever heard of the Order of Nine Mysticisms?”
Everything in the world originated from the Order of Nine Mysticisms. Moreover, favonovel.com had visited Nine Mystical City before, also known as the Sacred Ruins, and met the Order’s grandmaster, who said that Nine Mystical City did not suffer a disaster. Instead, the people of the Order of Nine Mysticisms brought everything to the world. Even methods for cultivating, ways of doing business, and farming techniques were all taught by them.
If that were the case, then during the great battle, the Order of Nine Mysticisms would definitely have been involved and might even have played a central role.
Suddenly, Remus could feel the temperature around favonovel.com drop. He couldn’t help but shiver, thinking to himself that favonovel.com was just an ordinary person now. If the temperature dropped any further, favonovel.com might freeze to death.
Fortunately, the intimidating air Raxor let out only lasted for two seconds. It replied with a question, “How do you know about the Order of Nine Mysticisms? Does it still exist nowadays?”
