Bu Xiaosai had a dream in which he went to another world and kept slaying monsters and demons, eventually becoming a great hero of the world.
But what exactly happened... Bu Xiaosa didn't know.
All that is known is that when he returned to the human capital, the people there sang for him and the royal family was proud of him.
But... this wonderful period only lasted for ten years.
Ten years later, the old king passed away, and the third prince became the new king. He was determined to reclaim all the lands that had been occupied by the demons, and he was willing to make enemies of the whole world for this purpose.
Because the demon race's disappearance over the past decade allowed many races to occupy their territory, while the human capital, which had been recuperating for ten years, now faced a war between all races.
He... or rather, the hero, was completely lost in confusion.
After returning to the royal capital, he was invited to become the first Dean of the Royal Academy of Heroes.
So prestigious that even the bloody battles for the throne were spared from reckoning for those who were on the side of the brave.
But... in this war, he couldn't see what was evil and what was justice.
Some say that he is a hero of humanity, so why should he care about other races? Especially since heroes are immortal, they can easily deal with the other races that have occupied the territory of the demons with just a little effort from the hero.
But... how could these young people in the capital know the cruelty of those years? If it weren't for the help of all races, how could he have obtained the legendary sword and learned the Shield of Hope?
Humanity has now reached the pinnacle of the continent, yet it cannot tolerate those weaker races?
In that case... what difference is there between humans and the demons of the past!
"I refuse!"
The royal steward's smiling face froze as he stared incredulously at the hero before him, or rather... the old hero!
How could he dare to refuse?
The current king is working hard to govern the country, and the territory he rules over is already the largest in history.
They now need power, immense power to steer the entire human capital forward, and just at this crucial moment, the capital's anchor—the hero!
But they refused humanity's glorious conquest!
What misfortune! Is this the arrogance of a hero?
"Hero, I will relay your message to the King. Are you sure this is your stance?"
The hero closed the door, while the royal butler watched with a knowing smile as the door slammed shut.
After he returned to the royal court, he reported the situation there.
"The hero has grown old, and his mindset has changed. He is no longer the favored one of the goddesses. Let's find some time to select a new hero."
"What about the legendary sword and the shield of hope?"
We've tried it; these two weapons, belonging to the hero, cannot be used by anyone else until the hero dies.
The butler lowered his head and began to explain about the hero's weapon.
"Hehe, do I even need to say that?"
There can only be one hero.
As the king made his explicit statement, the royal butler beside him narrowed his eyes, but his smile remained unchanged.
The king commands that only one hero can emerge!
......
But a hero is a hero after all, and he has far too many people supporting him. Even if the royal family no longer supports him, many people still support him by choosing to support the new generation of heroes at the Hero Academy.
As a hero, he will be immortal as long as humanity continues to believe in him!
Therefore, the royal family's subsequent approach to him was to conceal him and replace him.
As a result, the name of the hero who slew the demon king with his sword gradually faded into obscurity.
And humanity ultimately won a glorious victory in this war!
Ninety percent of the entire continent's land has been taken over by the human capital... no, it should be said that the human empire has taken over.
Before this, humans only owned 40% of the continent's territory.
This king was also known as Emperor Mingwu by humankind, and he established the first human empire!
As the middle-aged hero watched the cheers of the people in the new capital, he secretly put on his old red cloak, while the number of his followers dwindled.
Or rather... the vast majority chose the new empire, leaving only the original followers of the middle-aged hero by his side.
The first dean of the Hero Academy?
Haha, there's no such thing as a first dean! The first dean is dead~
The royal family won't admit it, right?
Well, since the human race is thriving now, there's no need for me to worry about it.
So the brave man resigned from his official post and retired to the countryside to enjoy his later years.
He also left the legendary sword and the shield of hope at the Hero Academy.
And just like that... another twenty years have passed...
Thirty-five years had passed since Emperor Mingwu took the throne, and at this time, the human capital was facing an unprecedented calamity!
The myriad races rose up, united together and called themselves the Demon Race, ruling over 20% of the continent and setting their sights on the human capital!
And in that most crucial final battle.
The new generation of heroes were brutally killed by the demon leader, and the blessing of the goddess bestowed upon them failed!
In this way, the demon race seized 30% of the human territory and became a demon empire that rivaled the human empire!
The elderly king couldn't understand why the hero's blessing had failed.
"Perhaps it's because of... that person."
The advisor's reminder reminded the old king of that true immortal hero.
So... after all these years, is he still the only hero favored by the goddess?
