Ace was terrified because no one has ever assumed him of being a soul cultivator, much less praising his heavenly sense. This means there is a horrifying being live in this place and he couldn't but think of that nasty feeling he had when he first entered this place.
'How can there be someone else in here?' Ace thought grimly, but he can't run away now because if he moves carelessly in this place he will be dead!
Furthermore, this terrifying being can even sense his heavenly sense. Where can he run if this voice owner wanted to capture him?
Ace takes a deep breath. "Who are you?" As he asked, the invisible bead has already appeared in his hand. If he senses anything amiss, he would shatter it instantly.
"Hoh, me? I'm Patriarch Empty Dream, you must hear of me before." There was a clear pride in this voice as he introduces himself to Ace.
Ace grimaced before saying thoughtfully, "Senior, please forgive me. I'm only from low-level lands and didn't hear of senior's mighty name before."
"What low-level lands?" Empty Dream was confused as he asked, "Child, where is this place? Are we not in the Azure Wind Continent?"
Ace was startled hearing this, 'He didn't know about low lands?' Despite his vigilant Ace still, reply truthfully.
"This is the Azure Wind Continent, but it is divided into four different layers and we are in the lowest level sky changing border."
"Since when did Azure Wind Continent have different layers and this bullshit border??" Empty Dream demanded again in a stiff voice.
"From the start, I guess." Ace didn't know the answer to this question himself and honestly replied.
"Hmm, I can tell you're speaking truthfully." Empty Dream responded with uncertainty, "Tell me everything you know about the current Azure Wind Continent."
'He is a soul cultivator!' Ace thought gravely because only someone with soul sense can confidently say; he was telling the truth.
This gave Ace the chills. It was his first time being the prey of someone else soul sense and he was helpless to do anything. Now, he finally understands just how it felt to be in dark in front of a soul cultivator!
"Senior, first can you please answer this junior question." Ace dryly asked. He didn't know just what the deal with this old fellow.
But this Empty Dream didn't attack him from start and just keep asking the meaningless questions that give Ace a little courage. That's why he asked to see if this old guy was short temper or not.
"First, tell me everything you know about the azure wind continent!" There was clear oppression might in Empty Dream voice this time.
A tremor run through Ace's entire body because there was some mysterious power in that husky voice. 'Just what is his cultivation realm?!'
"System, can I use that life coin now?" Ace quickly transmitted. He didn't like this kind of feeling where he was trapped like a mouse in the presence of a tiger!
"[No!]
"[System didn't' detect any life-ending danger to host's life at this moment.]"
Ace smile wryly, 'You're not reliable at all!'
He takes a deep breath and told Empty Dream about Azure Wind Continent that he knows truthfully. As for hiding something, heh, in the presence of soul sense, it was nearly impossible until Ace learn to calm his soul fluctuations that he didn't know how to.
He was just a rookie when it come to soul cultivation and this was his first time coming in contact with an actual soul cultivator and a terrifying one at that.
After a long explanation, Ace felt he speak for the longest time of his life.
"That treacherous bastard!!!" Empty Dream's enraged voice echoed in the silence of sky-changing formation.
Ace gripped the invisible bead at this moment he was ready to shatter it at any moment.
'Sigh…' A helpless sigh sounded at this moment. "Boy, forgive my early behavior. I just can't believe that traitor divided this beautiful continent and even build these borders."
Ace was confused at this moment because for the first he felt sorrow in this voice and couldn't help but asked, "Senior, are you someone from an ancient sect?"
"Ancient Sect? Heh," Empty Dream sneering voice rang, "Boy, since you tell this patriarch the truth and I didn't speak with someone for ages, let me enlighten you."
Ace didn't speak and listen carefully to what this old fellow has to say.
"I don't know just how much time has passed, but after hearing you, I can assume; They have removed all the traces of me from the history.
"But let me tell you, in ancient times, Ancient Beast Race ruled the golden sky world. It was the most glorious period for them, but one day, suddenly, different races appear from different parts of this world. No one knows just where they come from.
"The ancient beast race was infuriated by these sudden invaders, and they began mass extermination to clean their world. But it was not as easy as the beast race deem it would be.
"In the newly emerge races there were three races that were even stronger than ancient beasts. They were Devils, Demons, and Ancient Hunters.
"Facing beast race wrath and their huge numbers, these three races gathered together every other being that was not related to ancient beasts and form friction against the ancient beasts.
"This was the first war that this world has ever seen. It was called the Resistance Cold War. This great war raged for almost two hundred years until the ancient beast finally realized that this world can no longer be there alone anymore.
"Because they suffer the most in the hands of these allied races, especially cunning devils and curl demons, and when you add sneaky hunters in the mix, this made a deadly combination of carnage.
"That's why the Beast Emperor of that time accepts every race and the Resistance Cold War finally stops after the death of millions.
"But this wasn't the end of the conflict between the races because following the war with beast race was over, the allied races didn't have any purpose to continued their alliance anymore, and the allied races separated.
"Do you know the ten continents we know today were once only a single humongous mainland?" Empty Dream didn't wait for Ace's answer and continued,
"After the war, every race divided this vast continent's territory according to their prowess of race. Simply put, the one with the most power gets the biggest land, while the weakest gets nothing at all.
"Some weak-simple-minded races like Ogres, Golems, Cyclops… simply go under the banner of powerful races like devils, demons, ancient hunters… and become their slaves.
"In these weak races who chose the path of slavery for survival were humans as well." There was deep sorrow in Empty Dream's voice when he talks about humanity's past.
Ace has a bewildered expression on his face because what he heard was just too shocking. He never even imagines that there was such a history of his world. Especially humanity, who was now the number four race in this world!
Ace couldn't help but ask, "Senior, then how did we break free from the path of slavery?"
Empty Dream said with a prideful voice, "Heh, we fight, of course!
"Humans chose the Ancient Hunter Race for protection and become their vassals. Because only Ancient Hunters looked exactly like humans except for their different colors of hair.
"The human body is quite fragile, and we didn't bear any abilities at birth either. But we are unique from other races because we can reason and comprehend, and our bodies or souls can become strong if we have techniques and skills.
"For decades, humanity does slavery under the ancient hunters, but it was only until a hero emerges who changes the entire course of our race. His name was Clavus, who was later known as the Humane Sage!
"In ancient records, the Humane Sage was the very first human who discovered the true potential of the human body and he has an astonishing ability of comprehension.
"He creates many techniques from scratches for humanity and secretly taught all humanity cultivation, and this was the real turning point for the humans.
"The humanity finally understands their true potential and in the leadership of Humane Sage, the revolt of humanity began. Many heroes emerge from humanity and contribute tremendously.
"However, no one has ever imagined that this revolt of humanity against the ancient hunters would aflame the second biggest war of golden sky word, the Race Supremacy War!"
Empty Dream's voice was filled with passion. He didn't talk with someone for ages and Ace was an excellent listener, and he almost forgot that he was confined.
Ace's eyes also shimmer with a strange light. He is a human himself and hearing the glorious history of the human race, his blood boiled.
"Senior, what happened next?" Ace eagerly asked, he desperately wanted to know what happen in the Race Supremacy War!
