Xu Yi asked in surprise, "A land of exile? A desolate place? Where did that come from?"
Shi Erli said, "How many eras have passed since the Four Continents World emerged from chaos? No one can say anymore. All I know is a fragment of its history. Long, long ago, the Four Continents World—except for the Southern Continent, whose history is unknown—was actually a unified world. All revered the Demon Emperor Heavenly Emperor. On the Demon Emperor Heavenly Emperor's road to unification, the ruler of the Northern Continent was the most arrogant and unruly. When the Demon Emperor Heavenly Emperor established his rule, he turned the Northern Continent into a land of exile."
"Countless years passed, and the world fell into chaos once more. The Western Continent and the Eastern Continent were each seized by powerful factions. Since the Northern Continent was a land of exile, no great power rose there. The factions in the Western and Eastern Continents feared that a king might emerge in the Northern Continent, so they joined forces and used secret arts to conceal the spatial nodes. They left only one passage open, with each side guarding it."
"After countless years, the Northern Continent's legacy was severed. It also missed the great tide when wish pearls first emerged and erupted onto the scene, and so it fell into complete decline. Later, because of the birth of the wish pearls, the Western and Eastern Continents' powerful factions found a use for the Northern Continent's abandoned lands. Only then did it gradually become what it is today."
Even if Xu Yi had racked his brains, he could never have imagined that his understanding of the world would be reshaped one day.
"What about the Sky Lung? Have you never heard of the Sky Lung?"
