Chapter 129 - 127: Origin of the Demon Race, Disaster of Luo Tian
Four thousand years ago, Lion King Wei of the Beastman Empire arranged a marriage between the Barbaric Bull clan and the Cliff Ape clan, presenting them with the Luo Bolun as a wedding gift from the Lionheart’s Royal Family.
Luo Bolun was abundant in resources and of a high dimensional grade, so the Barbaric Bull and Cliff Ape clans decided to move their clan’s main base there to cement their alliance and enjoy an everlasting shared world. With the migration of these two major families of the Beastman Empire, Luo Bolun’s original prosperity became even more splendid. Signs of it becoming its own realm were faintly visible, but Lion King Wei did not mind and instead granted autonomous power to Luo Bolun. Grateful for Lion King Wei’s magnanimity, the clans invited members of the Lionheart’s Royal Family to reside in Luo Bolun to show their sincere devotion.
Lion King Wei gladly agreed and appointed his daughter Anda as Prince Rong to take up a new post in Luo Bolun.
Three years later, a full-scale war erupted between the Beastman Empire and the Sacred Empire, with both sides committing fully to the conflict. During this period, Luo Bolun somehow lost contact with the Beastman Empire.
As the Sacred Empire advanced step by step and aggressively invaded the territory of the Beastman Empire, Lion King Wei and the leaders of the Barbaric Bull and Cliff Ape clans had no spare attention for Luo Bolun. They could only focus on dealing with the Sacred Empire, putting Luo Bolun’s issues on hold.
Once the situation stabilized, Lion King Wei and the clan leaders of the two great families went to Luo Bolun only to discover that the once-thriving Luo Bolun had completely collapsed. The Beastmen stationed there had turned into man-eating monsters. The whereabouts of the Barbaric Bull and Cliff Ape clans, including Prince Rong, were unknown; no one was alive to be seen, nor were bodies found. Lion King Wei’s search triggered a frenzied attack from the monsters within Luo Bolun. With a massive influx of residents from the Beastman Empire combined with the original population of Luo Bolun, nearly ten billion monsters launched continuous attacks on the Beastmen who reached Luo Bolun.
Unable to bring themselves to harm their former kin, Lion King Wei and the two clan leaders withdrew from Luo Bolun, exhausting every effort to restore the sanity of its residents, but to no avail.
Blaming the Holy Divine Empire for the tragedy in Luo Bolun, Lion King Wei personally commanded his troops, leading the Beastman army straight into the capital of the Sacred Empire, Jinsui.
After a fierce battle, Lion King Wei ultimately died, and the Sacred Empire was greatly weakened, leading to the present-day peace between the two great empires.
Listening to Cui Xi’s story, Tong Ling frowned deeply and said in puzzlement, "What does all this have to do with us?"
