Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 549 - 103 Historical Grievances

"It is said that that great war was a conflict between beings known as Arcane Mages and the Divine, and it was incredibly terrifying."

"The ancient races originally living in this world were also affected and drawn in, unable to escape this catastrophe that swept across the entire Multi-universe."

"That dreadful war destroyed everything, and the entire world was wrecked."

"Since then, Arcane Mages have disappeared from this world, the Divine were greatly weakened, forced into slumber, and the once-flourishing ancient races were all but obliterated, only a fraction survived, scattered and shattered."

Old Kaman narrated thoughtfully from the side.

It seemed that he indeed knew a few things.

"I heard that before that war, some top-tier ancient races living in the world had bloodlines that granted them endless lifespans, and some ancient beings might have existed from the dawn of creation to this era."

"That was an unimaginably long time, and those races with endless life were called the Golden Race, signifying ancient eternal beings that survived from the Golden Age to the present."

"Among the Golden Race, there were also grudges and conflicts. It’s said there were indelible animosities between each Golden Race."

"The Dragon Race and Giants were among them."

"The enmity between us, the Dolan White Dragon, and the Frost Giants perhaps traces back to before that great war, or even to a more distant era."

"However, the origins of it all no longer matter now."

"What’s important is that we’ve won this war; as for the rest, let the future generations handle it."

Old Kaman’s voice carried a hint of sigh.

In nearly a millennium of life, he had witnessed so much.

Even though it’s hard to imagine what kind of era it was in ancient times, one could guess through bits of the exhibited signs.

It was nothing more than war.

War,

perhaps a war that’s continued from the dawn of creation to now.

As long as there is desire in the hearts of intelligent beings, and as long as inner desires are unmet, it inevitably evolves into conflict with other intelligent beings, gradually escalating into a war that engulfs everything.

Desire itself is the root of conflict.

And conflict, at the same time, has run through the historical process from the birth of intelligent beings to now.

Conflict breeds war, war breeds hatred.

Over countless years, numerous hatreds have intertwined, and the war and enmity between Dragons and Giants have become incredibly entangled over the ages.

The reason for the initial conflict is long buried in the torrents of history, and there’s no point in digging out the roots.

One only needs to understand that now the Frost Giants and Dolan White Dragons are sworn enemies.

In his youth, Old Kaman had also traveled across the Central Earth World, witnessing countless wars and conflicts within this world over the centuries, observing interpersonal interests, family love and hate, and national relations; such experiences over hundreds of years were enough for him to see through many things.

Austin fell into silence.

His heart also filled with sentiment.

However, just as Old Kaman said, the war between Dragons and Giants no longer needed debate over right or wrong origins; it sufficed to know they’ve won now.

"The Golden Generation... indeed, in such a vast Multi-universe, how could only Arcane Mages and the Divine be the protagonists... not to mention the more distant past of the Golden Age, fearfully the remnants of the Golden Race also joined the great battle of Ragnarök 30,000 years ago."

Maybe even the Dragon Race was one of the few victors of that terrifying war.

However, I’m afraid I must personally journey to Celestial Dragon Island to see those ancient beings firsthand to know for sure.

The mentioned Golden Race surely includes more than just Dragons and Giants.

The Kawa Great Forest is but a corner on the Seta Continent, and even now Austin hasn’t fully uncovered all its secrets.

In that greater world lie countless more hidden secrets.

In the past,

because of ignorance, one actively sought out history shrouded in the mists of time.

But now, the more he knew, the more bewildered he became, realizing his own ignorance even more intensely.

"Golden Age, Golden Race, Arcane Mages, and Divine... if using settings from novels of a past life, then this era might have endured a 30,000-year apocalypse, followed by the revival of Spiritual Qi..."

The powerful beings would keep reviving from dormancy.

The world’s environment is repairing itself, until a full bloom era arrives,

Then, the survivors from the previous epoch will continue that unfinished war.

Not to mention those Golden Races that prospered from the dawn of creation, the main roles of the war of Ragnarok 30,000 years ago, the Arcane Mages, did they really perish?

A war that shattered the entire Multi-universe and drove the Divine into slumber.

For such a profound civilization to be utterly obliterated, Austin found hard to believe.

He pondered for a long time until his head hurt.

Austin gave up the contemplation.

"Forget it; there’s no gain in overthinking. Those things will be revealed in time. What’s important now is to digest the spoils of this adventure and enhance one’s strength first."

After considering it, he eventually decided not to delve deeper.

The journey to the Dolan Glacier Plateau was fruitful.

It also disrupted Austin’s original plans.

Initially, he intended to accompany Princess Sarah to the Royal Capital of the Ireland Kingdom, then lend a hand to obtain important clues concerning the advancement to Epic.

If there’s a chance, he would also explore the historical truth about the Seven Sages eight thousand years ago.

Unexpectedly, in the Dolan Glacier Plateau, Austin killed the Ancient King of the Frost Giants and acquired the Space Law and Time Law, while also learning of some ancient power’s imminent revival in this era, heralding the dawn of a grand era.

Since the Ancient King of the Frost Giants could revive early, it’s very likely that other mighty beings, races, and even the Divine have laid certain covert plans.

Central Earth World, as the center of the entire Seta Continent, and the Kingdom of Ireland, as one of the seven focal points of that center,

makes venturing there in the flesh quite risky.

Fortunately, Austin refined a portion of the Space Law Origin, gaining some power of the space authority.

In this way, if there exists a "coordinate," Austin could swiftly traverse the vast distances, arriving in time to support, and thus, the plan was naturally altered.
