Chapter 1203: The Most Reasonable Explanation (Part One)
What Stabila said shocked everyone, and the masters in the area all gasped.
“What kind of enemies? Wiping out both the gods and demons?” Everyone was holding their breaths and waiting for Stabila to continue.
“They were terrifying enemies from another dimension. They had terrifying power, and there were countless of them. Like a herd of bees, they rushed to the continent. They had insane adaptability and power of destruction. At the beginning of the war, the gods and demons didn’t pay much attention to these enemies. After all, the enemies looked like savage bugs and seemed to come from a civilization that was behind in development. They couldn’t even speak. However, the God Clan and Demon Clan paid for their arrogance and negligence. Although the enemies seemed behind in terms of development, they weren’t weak. They quickly spread like a plague and reproduced rapidly. Think about the infamous Undead Creature Catastrophes that took place on the continent, and then think about the Goblin Catastrophe that just happened in the Southern Region. It was many times more terrifying than these catastrophes.” Stabila’s voice seemed to contain a magical power, and everyone shivered as they listened to him.
The tragic catastrophe that took place in the Southern Region was still fresh in their minds.
In this catastrophe, the goblins almost killed all other creatures in the Southern Region with their sheer numbers advantage! It felt like the goblins couldn’t be killed off.
If it weren’t for the Human Emperor of the North who destroyed the Goblin Realm and killed Platini who was the mastermind behind all this, the entire Azeroth Continent would be in danger of collapsing instead of only the Southern Region.
Only the people who experienced the Goblin Catastrophe first-hand could understand how terrifying the goblin-sea-attack was.
“As the war continued, the affiliated races of the God Clan and Demon Clan got wiped out one by one, and a ton of land was captured by the enemies. Many god-level masters died, including those from the God Clan and Demon Clan. By then, these two clans realized how dangerous the enemies were. Therefore, they had to join hands and fight the enemies. However, it was already too late. In less than three months, many god-level masters died, and the God Clan’s capital, Garden of Eden, and the Demon Clan’s capital, City of Nightside, both got conquered. Those enemies from another dimension, those terrifying insects from another plane! They could absorb the core energies of masters to continuously evolve! There were already enemies that were strong enough to take on the supreme entities of the God Clan and Demon Clan by then! From that moment on, the momentum was irreversible! Like polluters, every place that the enemies went to got polluted! That is why the God Clan and Demon Clan referred to these damn insects as Polluters,” Stabila said slowly.
Although this old man only said a few words, what came out of his mouth made the people in the area detect the terrifying power of the enemies and the cruelty of the war. They felt like they saw the scenes where gods screamed and fell from the sky, the blood stained all the land, and corpses piling up for tens of thousands of kilometers.
Fei’s mind also shook, and he thought, “Polluters! He just mentioned the Polluters! That means all the information that I got was correct!”
“The proud and powerful God Clan and Demon Clan were forced into a desperate situation in less than three months. As to other affiliated races such as the orcs, elves, gnomes, dwarfs, and dragons, they were either wiped out or forced to leave the Azeroth Continent around that time. The civilizations collapsed at a speed that no one could imagine. It was too fast! It was so quick that civilizations couldn’t be preserved. Almost nothing was saved or left behind intact to provide clues to the people after the Mythical Era. That explains why almost nothing is mentioned in history books about this period,” Stabila continued.
Chapter 1203: The Most Reasonable Explanation (Part Two)
Everyone was shocked to their cores, and some people lowered their heads and pondered.
What Stabila said was unheard of! It was the first time that most people here heard this theory.
“Wait, somethings can’t be explained. If Your Holiness is correct, then all the races were wiped out in that world-ending catastrophe. The God Clan and Demon Clan were defeat? Then, how come humans survived that? Where did those terrifying enemies named Polluters go? As the victors, how come they aren’t on this continent?” A human master further away couldn’t hold back and asked these questions.
Indeed, what Stabila said contained many holes. At least the existence of humans and the disappearance of the victors couldn’t be explained.
Fei also nodded in secret.
In fact, he had been thinking about these questions as well.
However, according to what Pope Zhong Dajun of the Beast God Palace had said, as victors, the Polluters decided to show mercy toward the humans.
As plunderers, the Polluters had their own intelligent civilization, and they didn’t want to kill all the fish in the ocean. After butchering those powerful existences, the enemies left the humans as ‘seeds’ since humans were weak but had strong reproductive abilities.
The Polluters had left the Azeroth Continent, one of their hunting grounds. They had gone to other hunting grounds, waiting for the ‘seeds’ to grow.
When the humans repopulated the continent and created powerful civilizations, the Polluters would appear again and go for another round of harvesting.
This was the most reasonable explanation.
Fei thought that Stabila was going to say something along this line.
However, a mystical smile appeared on this old man’s face, and he shook his head and said, “No, in reality, even though the God Clan and Demon Clan were pushed into a desperate situation with their capital cities conquered and a few of them left, the God Clan and Demon Clan were the final victors in this war.”
“What?” Fei almost screamed out loud. He thought to himself, “What? Didn’t the Polluters end the God Clan and Demon Clan? This is completely different from what I know. In fact, it is 180 degrees to the opposite side! Victory and defeat; these are two completely different results!”
“Since the God Clan and Demon Clan won the war, how come they couldn’t be seen on the continent? Why did the Mythical Era end with all civilizations destroyed?” Fei asked while frowning.
Stabila looked at Fei with a mystical expression. Instead of answering Fei’s question, he asked, “Child, it seems like you already know about the Polluters and some of the secrets regarding the destruction of the Mythical Era, right?”
Fei nodded.
“That makes sense. You only know about the surface. Here is what really happened. Even though the gods and demons won the war and completely wiped out all Polluters, they paid a hefty price. They were almost completely killed. The Lord of the God Clan and the Lord of the Demon Clan ignited their life energy and killed all the Polluters. After that war, only ten gods and demons survived with most of the humans.” Stabila also provided a reasonable explanation.
He continued, “These last ten gods and demons created the Holy Church. In order for humans to forget the tragedy that this war brought, the gods and demons used their great abilities and wiped this portion of the memory from all humans’ minds. Also, some clues that proved gods and demons’ existence also were destroyed. As humans grew stronger and more prosperous on the continent, those gods and demons gradually died since their longevity was drastically decreased by the injuries that they received during the war. Therefore, the last bit of proof of the Mythical Era got buried in the long river of time.”
Fei fell into silence after hearing this.
