Hearing Fu Ye's words, Tang Yue almost instinctively wanted to cover his mouth.
But the moment she turned sideways, Fu Ye directly kissed her lips.
One minute.
Three minutes.
Ten minutes.
A quarter of an hour.
Tang Yue felt as though Fu Ye had sucked away her very soul.
After the deep kiss finally ended, she was gulping down fresh air.
"The Holy Court, the Parthenon Temple, the Imperial Palace Court, the Holy City. The prototypes of these organizations had already appeared in that era. They possessed the most complete magical inheritances and began systematically training mages, establishing order, and dividing spheres of influence."
"As for Totem Beasts, they were gradually pushed to the margins during the rise of these organizations."
Tang Yue felt a chill run through her. Although she knew Totem Beasts existed, she had never known that mages were responsible for their extinction.
"The third era, the ancient era, was marked by a human civil war that lasted nearly a thousand years."
"The rise of magical organizations brought strength, but it also brought ambition. The major factions waged a chaotic war that lasted nearly a millennium over resources, territory, and magical inheritances."
"It was a disaster. Magic was used for fratricide, countless cities were reduced to ruins, and living beings suffered untold misery. During that conflict, the Totem Beasts faced even harsher circumstances—some were absorbed by powerful magical organizations as tools of war, some were hunted for their Totem Power, and some chose to hide from the world, completely distancing themselves from humanity."
Fu Ye looked at Tang Yue's troubled expression and spoke.
"You should have come across investigation reports on ancient ruins in the Judgment Association. Those ruins often contain enormous skeletons, not of demons, but of Totem Beasts. Most of them died in that era."
