Hearing this, Loran Hill looked at Katie who was sleeping soundly on the bed.

"You guessed correctly. Keti was the absolute main force at the time. She almost single-handedly defeated three Sequence 9 elves, annihilated the ogre nation, and even dissipated the World Tree into smoke in her flames."

"Even if you go to the Falcon Country now, you can still see vast expanses of desert. That's where the Ogres once stood."

"Perhaps you may feel these actions are too cruel now, but it was truly a life-and-death battle. All races were driven to the brink of death. Among the human race, quite a few Sequence 9s and witches perished. Seven or eight witches, whose names I remember, died in the protracted war."

"In the end, the continent was scorched to the ground. The orcs retreated to the grasslands, the silver elves, skilled in metal, were wiped out, and after the ice elves' royal family was exterminated, their entire clan migrated to the cold northern continent. The forest elves closed themselves off in the forest and never ventured out again."

"The Mercury Dynasty was also exhausted and faced frequent internal problems, so they finally chose to reconcile and ceasefire."

"Finally, the dynasty collapsed due to various contradictions and clashing ideologies. The Necromancers were purged. Meanwhile, the Sequence 9s among humans gradually grew in number, and for the first time, their numbers exceeded three times that of the witches."

"At this point, the witches gradually withdrew from the stage and lived in seclusion. One faction was led by Selene. Most of them were the second group of witches to appear. They began to focus on the unknown twilight age and explored the relics hidden in the layers of time. They have not appeared in a long time."

"The other faction is that of Titus and Dorothy. They unearthed a lot of past technology from the ruins and founded the Land of Oz. The magic sequence flourished in their hands."

"The last faction actually doesn't have many members. They are the last group of witches to appear, such as the Book Witch Siye and the Gem Witch Servis. They are witches born after the disintegration of the Mercury Dynasty."

"In the past, witches raised witches because they were familiar with each other, and witches occupied the top positions in the human race. But by Si Ye's generation, Sequence 9s rose among humans, and coupled with the retreat of witches in the past, humans now raised witches. Therefore, Si Ye would consider the interests of humanity as a whole more."

"As a result, Si Ye and Dorothy came into conflict, because much of the technology unearthed in the ruins was related to Chaos Phantom and was indeed dangerous, which would affect the entire world."

"So Siye, I, several other witches, and most of the sages from various races opposed some of the dangerous research conducted by the Kingdom of Oz. This is the story of the conflict with the Kingdom of Oz during the Rise of Verdant. At that time, many sages participated in order to support Verdant in defeating the Kingdom of Oz. Otherwise, they would have been unable to confront the powerful Kingdom of Oz."

"The good thing is that it was indeed successful, but the bad thing is that Verdant rose too quickly, making it difficult to balance later on."

"So after Dorothy's death, the rest of Oz's supporters will be forgiven as long as they swear to destroy those dangerous things and never make them again."

"So most of them later became members of the Xuehua Alliance. Among them, Suqin even integrated and unified the Five Phoenix Kingdoms in the east and established the Plantagenet Dynasty."

"The faction of witches represented by Tidaisi is not on good terms with Siye and me. When you came to Emenas, why didn't Tidaisi come to see you off herself, but asked you to bring a letter instead? It was because she didn't want to see Siye."

"Back then, she and Si Ye had a huge fight, and she tore up the book Si Ye gave her. Although many years have passed and their relationship has gradually calmed down, there's still some estrangement."

Listening to Chris telling about the turbulent past, Loran Hill listened and unknowingly the black tea in his hand became cold. At this time, Chris stopped, gradually reacted, and picked up the tea to drink.

"So, you must protect yourself well, little Loran. Otherwise, if Tidaisy brings Suqin and the Plantagenet Dynasty's troops, Si Ye and I really won't be able to stop them." Chris said with a smile.
