Today's second update: Chapter 3046! 2/4!
Before the war of words between the Black Tortoise Race and humanity had even subsided, the Huang clan's earth-shattering declaration of "seeking marriage" exploded across public discourse among the myriad races like a ladle of cold water thrown into a pot of boiling oil!

Whatever goodwill and expectations they had formed toward the Huang clan just moments ago because of Lord Yao's forceful statement vanished in an instant.
In their place came towering fury and bone-deep hatred.
"Utterly shameless! The Huang clan has gone too far!"
"They dare defile Lord Yao and tarnish the names of our fallen heroes! This hatred is irreconcilable!"
