The Kirin's extinction was neither a natural disaster nor a man-made calamity. It was self-inflicted!
That sonorous, powerful, and unwilling voice exploded within Xu Kun's Sea of Consciousness.
At that moment, the sealed secret behind the fall of the Kirin Race, once one of the Saint Races, was finally revealed.
Even today, the sudden downfall of a Saint Race remained an unsolved mystery among the Myriad Races. However, the circumstances behind the Kirin Race's destruction involved several major events well known throughout the Myriad Races!
First, the Kirin Race fell during the five-hundred-year War of the Myriad Races—more precisely, during the holy war of the Third Tier War.
Second, according to the information Xu Kun had obtained from the Wood Race, the Lin Blood Genesis Pill had been developed through cooperation between the Kirin Race and the Wood Race while the Kirin Race was preparing for that five-hundred-year period.
Third, the death of Xu Kun's second aunt, Yuan Lichang, had been the Kirin Race's doing. The Kirin Race's destruction, meanwhile, was inextricably connected to his grandmother's furious intervention.
From these three matters, a chain of logic could be inferred.
As the five-hundred-year War of the Myriad Races approached, the Kirin Race had been plotting something enormous. They had even gone so far as to use their own Kirin true blood to refine the Lin Blood Genesis Pill. The plan was meant to be completed during the war, but Yuan Lichang had interfered with it. That was why the Kirin Race had risked being held accountable by the Phoenix Race to kill her. Perhaps Yuan Lichang had even caused the irreversible catastrophe that befell the Kirin Race.
Otherwise, given the Kirin Race's usual conduct, they would never have dealt such a lethal blow to Yuan Lichang, one of the Five Phoenixes.
