Chapter 1278: Historical Turning Point
During his initial conversation with the Phantom Crow King, Sein did not immediately bring up the topic of recruiting it into the Magus Alliance.
Instead, he casually spoke about other matters, like the history of Phantom Crow World, which interested him.
The Phantom Crow King was seen as somewhat of a revolutionary figure among the Phantom Crows, as it was the one who led them in overthrowing the Soul-Eating Beasts and transforming their world into a medium-sized plane.
Its aggressive, expansionist stance aligned with the interests of nearly all Rank Four and above beings in Phantom Crow World.
Naturally, the Rank Four and higher Phantom Crows were fiercely loyal to their king. Some of them were elders who had fought alongside it in the war for control of the plane.
That war was not all that long ago—only about seventy thousand years had passed since.
Understanding the history of Phantom Crow World was also a way for Sein to gain deeper insight into this species.
While the Phantom Crow King hesitated and was still trying to figure out what these Magus World beings truly wanted, Sein had already gathered much of the information he sought.
In his eyes, all the elaborate tales and vivid carvings of that brutal war could not hide one simple truth: the Phantom Crows had only managed to overthrow the Soul-Eating Beasts, creatures above them in the food chain, because of their overwhelming advantage in reproductive ability.
The Phantom Crow’s population was thousands of times larger than that of the Soul-Eating Beasts.
Many of the reliefs depicted swarms of Phantom Crows besieging a massive Soul-Eating Beast.
“The Soul-Eating Beasts that once ruled the fate of the Phantom Crows were now history. So tell me, Phantom Crow King... Are you ready for the next turning point in history?” Sein casually asked as he ran his fingers along the carvings.
