Chapter 811 - 810: Central Continent
All things in the world, the fortunes of the human path, wealth, mindset, lifestyle, and so forth, all follow a single law, which is ’change’!
Nothing in the world remains the same forever. You were penniless yesterday, but that doesn’t prove you will always be penniless; you are the Emperor today, but that doesn’t mean you will still be the Emperor tomorrow.
The Emperor of the Saint Dragon Empire has changed. The young prince who had inherited the great authority only served as a puppet emperor for three years before he died. It was said that he died of a sudden illness, but there were also rumors within the palace that the young emperor had died suddenly while consorting with a palace maid at night.
Many different versions of the story circulated, but the truth was he had indeed died, and as the teenager had no offspring, the Higgins King naturally took over the unified empire.
After serving three years as the Regent King, the Higgins King finally achieved his long-cherished goal of sitting upon the Dragon Chair, changing the national title to Higgins and naming the year of his accession as the first year of the Higgins era.
Along with the unification under the Higgins Emperor, another piece of great news arrived. It was rumors among the commoners that to the south of Southern Continent, Earth Immortals had come to offer their congratulations to the Higgins Emperor’s coronation, so suddenly the Mainland was abuzz!
As we all know, East Sea, Southern Continent, Western Wastelands, and Northern Wilderness are desolate lands with scant human presence. For thousands of years, numerous virtuous experts have ventured on expeditions in search of other human tribes, yet all of them either died on the way or vanished without a trace!
For over five thousand years, not a single person, not even those who had Crossed the Tribulation, was able to traverse these Four Mysterious Wastes. First, because these four regions are too vast, boundless to the point where a lifetime of human effort could not explore them to the end. Second, because there are too many Demon Cultivators in these lands, the deeper one goes, the more massive the Demon Cultivators become, making it impossible for even the Tribulation Crossers to fly across these Mysterious Wastes.
