Chapter 2219 Fall Of The Sacred Tear Tribe
The discovery by the Sacred Tear Tribe depicted in the mural was a confirmation for Lin Mu and the others.
"So they were indeed from the Rust Sky World." Lin Mu muttered.
"That much was expected. While it wasn't out of the realm of possibility that they could have come from some other world, the chances of that happening would be quite rare." Ziran stated.
"Considering they were exiled, it would also match the ideals of the humans of the Rust Sky World." Crown Prince Feng Shun spoke. "How did it all go? I don't think the alliance would last that long." Qiao De wondered, prompting Ziran to read further.
"The Hrothak were on the losing end for about a thousand years while our tribe managed to keep the lands under our control. Our alliance with the humans was stable, and they even engaged in trade with us as time went out. During this time, we learned that the humans we were allied with weren't the same ones that had driven us out. Our elders remembered the land we had lived in and that land was different from the ones these humans were from. In fact, it wasn't even the same continent. We had been driven out from the Land of Topaz and the humans that we met were from the Land of a Hundred Kingdoms." Ziran read while others watched a very peculiar mural.
"Is that… A Map of the Rust Sky world?!" Qiao De was stunned seeing it.
"It is… That is certainly the Holy Topaz continent." Crown Prince Feng Shun said, seeing the shape of the land.
On the mural, two landmasses were depicted. The one on the left was smaller of the two, while the right was larger. Though the thing was, they couldn't recognize what the right landmass was.
"If the Land of topaz is the Holy Topaz Continent… then what is the Land of a Hundred Kingdoms?" Crown Princess Shang asked.
Lin Mu too looked at it and could tell that the landmass depicted didn't seem to be of any continent that they knew of. It was unlike any map of the Rust Sky world. But then it finally struck Lin Mu.
"The Eight Kingdom Alliance… this is long before their existence… Long before the creation of the Sea of Muxuan." Lin Mu stated, remembering the history that had been known to him.
Not many knew of the creation of the Sea of Muxuan in recent times, nor of the great beast that had made it. Lin Mu had personally witnessed the Great Ocean Hippocampus that was slumbering in its own spatial realm. It had been alive for an unknown amount of time and was possibly the being closest to reaching the Celestial Realm in the Rust Sky world as of now.
Even in the past, it was strong enough to go up against all experts of the Rust Sky world and no one could fight it. It was this very beast's wrath that had taken out an entire chunk of a continent and created the Sea of Muxuan.
"That's the Eight Kingdom Alliance continent?!" Even Qiao De couldn't tell with how different it looked.
It wasn't just the fact that it didn't have the Sea of Muxuan in it, there were also several other parts around its border that seem to be different.
"This is possibly the oldest map of the two continents in existence right now." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated before taking out a jade slip. "I need to record this," He said, imprinting the image of the mural onto it.
Even the Dao Wind Empire's Imperial records didn't have such information in it. The Crown Prince could only guess how old this map was and try to place it on a time line. Though he was at least sure, no one would know of this, or have any known records.
'This is certainly before the persecution of the Haima Tribe and long before they were betrayed,' Lin Mu thought to himself. 'Perhaps Lanbao might have some information about this… I didn't particularly check the history of the Rust Sky world in the records of the Deep Sapphire City after all.' He realized.
It was not high on his list of things to check when he was there, thus it was normal for him to not have read about it.
Plus, the Haima tribe was just getting settled in and Lin Mu was busy in helping them fix their arrays and power supply. While Lin Mu was thinking about this, Ziran started on the next mural that had more stunning changes.
"Six thousand years after we had arrived in our new home, a great tragedy stuck. The Hrothak which had been on the losing end were mostly gone, but a great rain of Harbingers arrived all of a sudden. Millions of Hrothak landed at once all over our land, overwhelming both us and the humans. Half of our cities fell in the first month while the humans faced grave losses, too. Their trade had basically been halted and all those that were present in our lands tried to run away. We were left alone defending against the Hrothak that was more powerful than ever.
The Hrothak that had arrived this time around were more powerful than ever, comparable to the Fifth Tribulation Stage Immortals and above. And among these, there were three that were at the Seventh Tribulation Stage Immortal.
Even in our entire tribe, there was just one elder that was at the Seventh Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm. As such, opposing the Hrothak was going to be an impossible task without the assistance of the Human experts." Ziran read the mural that depicted the corpses of the Demons as well as the invading Chimeric beasts.
"All of a sudden there were so many Chimeric beasts?" Lady Kang could tell that something had gone wrong. "Is it possible for so many of them to arrive all at once?" she turned to Lin Mu.
"There is certainly something wrong here." Lin Mu furrowed his brows.
