In the history of the Divine Radiance Continent, there is no shortage of mythical beasts. In legends, mythical beasts led the demon race and once drove humanity to the brink of extinction.
But then, for some unknown reason, all the mythical beasts suddenly disappeared one day without leaving any trace, and no one knew where they went.
The demon race, having lost the protection of the divine beasts, suffered a dramatic decline in strength and was overtaken by humans, suppressed to an extremely dire degree. To this day, almost all the demons on the entire Divine Radiance Continent have been driven to the far north, never to emerge again.
This wouldn't have been a big deal. The demon race had lost the power to resist, and humans had almost forgotten their former ferocity and threat. In addition, the eight first-class forces were becoming stronger and stronger, and were no longer what they used to be. So people gradually forgot about the demons.
Nowadays, only a small number of monsters that escaped from the net back then remain outside the far north, and they can't cause much trouble. In fact, many sects are keen to capture those escaped monsters and use them as mounts.
In such an environment, what kind of living conditions would monsters have? What threat could they pose to humans?
But now, a White Dragon Venerable has arrived, and he's a divine beast at that!
With the situation suddenly changing, it's no wonder that Su Yuewan and the others looked so grim.
"Mythical beasts...are they really that powerful?" Bai Hao scratched his head. In his mind, although the words "mythical beasts" sounded impressive, most of the time, weren't they just mascots?
Or is this a mascot that's really good at fighting?
"You may not know this, but six or seven thousand years ago, the monsters were not as harmless as they are now. Back then, the rulers of the monsters were the divine beasts!"
Of course, the mythical beasts at that time had not yet reached the supreme realm, but they were still much stronger than us humans, and once they almost drove us to the brink of destruction.
At that time, the current eight top-tier forces had not yet been established, and I was just a little girl, but I witnessed the tragic situation back then... Fortunately, for some reason, those mythical beasts suddenly disappeared, which greatly relieved the pressure on us and led to our victory in the counterattack.
"If those mythical beasts hadn't suddenly disappeared back then, then perhaps it would be us humans who are driven to the far north today." Su Yuewan said slowly and deliberately.
Thinking back to the tragic situation between humans and monsters, Su Yuewan still couldn't help but feel lingering fear.
Now, the mythical beasts that disappeared years ago have reappeared, and their strength is still superior to theirs.
How can one not feel heavy-hearted when nightmares recur?
"Oh, so there was such a past so long ago. It seems the White Dragon Venerable has returned for revenge..." Bai Hao absentmindedly echoed, muttering to himself.
[She was just a little girl five or six thousand years ago... which means Su Yuewan is at least five thousand years old now!]
[My goodness, she really is an old woman!]
Su Yuewan: "???"
She simply asked a question mark.
So, after all she said, Bai Hao only listened to this one thing she said that had existed five or six thousand years ago?
An old woman?!
Su Yuewan was so angry she wanted to grab Bai Hao and yell at him: Who said living for five thousand years makes you an old woman?!
If the situation weren't so inappropriate, she would definitely do that!
But for now, she could only swallow her anger and continue to explain the situation to Bai Hao, as well as Fan Ziming, Jiang Bai, and others around her.
Faced with the return of the mythical beasts, Su Yuewan could still distinguish between what was more important and what was less important.
"Although there is only one White Dragon Venerable this time, no one knows how many divine beasts are behind him. If this batch of divine beasts really makes a comeback, then we will face a catastrophe."
One White Dragon Venerable is already firmly in the Supreme Realm. If there are more, and they release the monsters from the far north, it will be a huge catastrophe for the entire continent!
If they cannot stop this catastrophe and prevent it from happening, then the extinction of humanity is probably not just an exaggeration.
"So, that White Dragon Venerable has already declared war? We, along with the Pill Sect, the Cold Moon Palace, and others, will all have to join forces to deal with the demonic beasts?" Bai Hao asked.
Faced with a catastrophe for humanity, all the sects must unite, otherwise how can they fight?
But Su Yuewan still shook her head.
“If it had really declared war, that would have been simple. But the White Dragon Venerable did not declare war, and when we went up there, it didn’t even show any hostility towards us.”
"There was no declaration of war, nor any indication of hostility. So what did it say?"
If the major sect leaders were so frightened without saying anything, that would be too pathetic.
Even if the fearsome reputation of the mythical beasts caused them a lot of trouble in the past, surely they shouldn't be so terrified? Can't they have some backbone?
"It didn't declare war on us, but it did say that more divine beasts will descend in the future, and they will hold an election-like event. Whichever divine beast gets the most human support will win. As for what the benefit of winning will be, it didn't say," Su Yuewan said.
"Election?? Why would a divine beast hold an election? Is it trying to decide who will be the leader? And why did it come to our continent to find us humans? Did it promise us any benefits?" Bai Hao was very confused.
Former enemies are now campaigning for votes?
It's like we were mortal enemies, but you need to gain support due to internal competition, so you temporarily put aside your grudges and let me support you?
What's going on here? Are we aiding and abetting evil?
I don't understand.
"The advantage is that it can guarantee our safety." Su Yuewan's voice suddenly became very soft, as if she were talking about something terrifying.
Everyone was stunned.
How can we ensure their safety?
This is already blatant...
"This is a blatant threat! And you still say you haven't declared war?" Bai Hao was so angry he almost jumped up.
"If you support us, you'll protect us; if you don't support us, you'll teach us a lesson. This is a blatant declaration of war!"
He finally understood why Su Yuewan and the others looked so grim when they returned.
It wasn't because the mythical beast had returned, but because the mythical beast had actually posed a threat to them.
Moreover, it was a one-time threat to seven top-tier powers, and it actually had a certain deterrent effect!
That's why the leaders of all the major powers looked so grim.
Su Yuewan remained silent.
"Sect Master, what should we do?" Fan Ziming, who was standing to the side, was trembling with fear as he listened.
Before Su Yuewan could speak, Bai Hao answered for her.
"What else can we do? They've gone too far, so of course we have to beat them up!"
