"Ten years, it’s too short."

Baron Bezos was waiting for his response and opinion, as conversation requires interaction.

If he were to speak alone slowly, it would become a dull lecture.

"Indeed, it’s too short." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"It was a long-planned dimensional invasion!"

"With the size of the Endless Continent, fighting for several hundred or even a thousand years would be normal."

"Moreover, after the demon invasion, they only had the upper hand for the first year or two."

"Once the Mainland Continent Races united, they were able to contend equally with those Demon Legions."

"The so-called Blood Burning Legion was indeed terrifying, but they couldn’t conquer the continent in a short time."

"However, in the tenth year of the full-scale war, the sudden end times arrived."

"A violent explosion nearly swept across the entire continent."

Baron Bezos said in a contemplative tone.

"An explosion?"

"Swept across the entire continent?"

Zong Shen frowned, unable to help repeating.

"Yes, an explosion."

"Although the related records are vague, I know something about it."

"When I was younger, I had the fortune to visit the Pandragon Royal Main Imperial City once."

"That Imperial City was held by the King and was the most prosperous of the Three Great Imperial Cities in the Avalon Kingdom."

"Especially the library there, also known as the Floating Book Library."

"It was the pinnacle of Magic Guide Technology and Rune Technology."

"Due to family reasons, I stayed in the library for a full three years."

"It had the most extensive collection in the Avalon Kingdom."

"That’s how I came to know many ancient, lost era’s curiosities."

Baron Bezos explained, considering himself quite knowledgeable among the new generation of nobles.

Besides enjoying reading, he loves adventuring, especially exploring relics of the past era.

As a result, he knows more about past events than the average indigenous person.

This is significantly related to his personal experiences.

Even normal indigenous people, regardless of rank, may not understand the past era as deeply as he does.

Even in libraries, few people inquire about books on the Ancient Era.

Zong Shen nodded slightly, indicating he understood.

Thus, Baron Bezos continued.

"The explosion was indiscriminate."

"Both the Blood-Burning Demon from the Other Dimension and the coalition and resistance armies in the continent were turned to dust in the explosion."

"Since then, the war has moved into the end times."

"All demons vanished without a trace, and that terrifyingly massive Dimension Gate in the sky disappeared."

"The continent’s resistance army also suffered heavy losses."

As he spoke, he unconsciously sat upright, although the description was brief, Zong Shen still understood it was a tragic era.

Life dwindled by the tens, hundreds of billions.

Speaking of which, the dimensional war was strange from the start.

Between dimensions, there are solid barriers.

Creating a small rift is easy, but establishing a Dimension Gate connecting two worlds requires breaking the barriers on a large scale.

Like tearing the skins of two whole grapes and then sticking them together.

Compared to the dimensional war, the end war was even more abrupt.

The so-called indiscriminate explosion sounded more like a system reset.

Returning both sides of the conflict to the start, making it easier to begin the next phase.

This was clearly a deliberate major adjustment.

"Sir, the explosion seems unusual."

"Has anyone ever investigated the source of that explosion?"

Zong Shen extended a hand, gently tapping the table.

Upon hearing this question, Baron Bezos’s expression remained calm, seemingly unsurprised.

"Of course, it was investigated, and that investigative fervor lasted thousands of years."

"However, the conclusion of the investigation was inconclusive."

"The end war left no trace whatsoever."

"Younger Brother Zong, you should understand, the current landscape of the continent is dominated by humans."

"Several Human Kingdoms are the leading powers of this era."

"Other races, no matter how glorious their past, can only cower in corners now."

"And human dominion over the continent has only been for six to seven thousand years."

"However, the epochal war broke out seventeen to eighteen thousand years ago."

"In that nearly ten thousand years, do you know what happened?"

Baron Bezos leaned forward, his eyes filled with a frenzy of inquiry.

Seeing Baron Bezos entering the mood, Zong Shen, on the contrary, was unprecedentedly clear-headed.

He calmly shook his head, looking directly into those fervent eyes.

"Not knowing is correct."

"It was a lost era."

"Only sparse records remain."

"Younger Brother Zong, do you know how the current major Human Kingdoms were formed?"

Baron Bezos posed another question, to which Zong Shen still shook his head.

In fact, he already had some bold guesses in his heart, but could not say them now.

"Before the rise of the current Human Kingdoms, humans on the continent were still weak."

"Until a group of Chosen Descendants descended."

"They merged with the existing humans, and in a few centuries, propelled humanity to the pinnacle."

"After thousands of years of mutual conquests, the current kingdom structures took shape."

"The real development period was in the recent thousand years."

"In these years, large-scale wars ceased."

"Notably, the original major kingdoms were not harmonious."

"Who knows how their ancestral hatreds have been resolved."

"The kingship and major dukes have said nothing of this."

"Naturally, the minor nobles and commoners rejoice in the peace!"
