The Nether River Ferryman
The year 623 of the Troll Empire Calendar.
The Heris Peninsula.
Within a Centaur noble territory in the northern part of the House Centaur Kingdom.
A tall, strong, white-haired Centaur stood before the manor's shooting range, bow drawn and arrow nocked, his upper body bare, his muscles sculpted with unmistakable definition.
Arrows shot towards the target a kilometer away; they possessed no Transcendent power, yet they shattered the target a kilometer away from the manor.
However, the gray-haired Centaur Warrior showed no joy; instead, he sighed heavily.
"Alas, I'm getting old after all."
He is Chiron, the Centaur Legendary.
Chiron was not a genius in cultivation, but he possessed extraordinary Talent in martial arts.
Therefore, even when he was invincible in the army using more than a dozen weapons, he was only at the Master Stage.
In his middle age, through life-or-death battles and hard work, he finally achieved the Hero Tier.
It was extremely difficult for him to achieve Legendary. If it weren't for a powerful stranger who helped him, he might have died of old age before Legendary.
Even after achieving Legendary, in the intense war between Elf and Troll, it had an even heavier responsibility as Legendary.
Having suffered several serious injuries over the years, he has exhausted his lifespan and is now very old!
For example, this time, he had just been seriously wounded on the front lines and was recuperating, which is why he appeared at his hometown manor.
Chiron great ambitions and longed to see the scenery of even higher realms.
The pinnacle of humanity, Legendary, are not Demigod; they too can die.
He didn't want to die!
Just as he was lamenting to himself...
A faint, eerie voice sounded before him.
"Chiron, come with me, and you will not die of old age, but will reach an even higher realm."
Chiron was startled.
The ability to appear behind him silently was beyond his imagination.
An unbelievable thought arose in his mind!
He quickly turned around and saw a middle-aged man with black hair, golden eyes, and a dignified face standing in front of him.
Who are you?
Chiron asked.
"I?"
The middle-aged man laughed and pointed to the sky, at the pale blue Underworld Moon.
"I am it!"
He is the Lord of the Nether Moon, a powerful Greater God has only recently ascended to Godly Seat!
"Your Majesty!"
Chiron quickly bowed his head. Respect for the gods is something every living being must do, even if the god is an enemy.
"So, what do you think of my suggestion?"
The middle-aged deity continued to press for answers.
Centaur Chiron, showed a struggle on his face. His long-standing faith prevented him from betraying the cause, and besides, he still had many years to live.
After hesitating for a long time, Chiron finally shook his head with difficulty and refused.
"Respected Lord of the Nether Moon, I'm sorry, I cannot abandon my faith, my country, and my family!"
He expected Andaras to be angry, but to his surprise, God of the Underworld simply smiled.
"Alright, I respect your choice now, Chiron. But twenty years from now, I'll come back and ask you one last time: have you changed your mind?"
"Remember, this is your last chance!"
The Troll Empire Calendar, year 640.
The Western Sea Coast of the Feland Continent.
A group of strangely shaped creatures arrived by boat.
They have ant-like organs, yet possess human-shaped bodies.
They call themselves "Antfolk" and come from the Bonnis Peninsula on the Balod Continent.
Bring Bonnis ' goods and specialties to explore a different continent.
Their boarding point happened to be in the territory of the Barbarian nobles on the Western Sea Coast.
After years of change, this group of Barbarian nobles has acquired the refinement and vision of nobles.
Even though they still worship the Valkyrie, it doesn't prevent them from being members of the Lionheart Kingdom.
They brought the "Antfolk" to New Bolek Royal City, thus beginning trade with the "Antfolk" and his Bonnis Peninsula.
The Lionheart Kingdom thus became wealthy through this trade, and its power gradually became the strongest among the Northlands kingdoms.
The year 642 of the Troll Empire Calendar.
The long-declining Snake People finally had a Demigod, and they established their first Snake People Kingdom in the vast jungle lands near the sea in the southwestern corner of the Feland Continent.
On the very first day of its founding, the Slake Snake People Kingdom declared itself a Troll Empire.
Furthermore, they provided the Troll Empire with a force of tens of thousands of Snake People Archery to fight at Fallen Star Lake!
at the same time.
The sworn enemies of the Snake People, the Eaglemen, have long since lost their Royal Court.
Large numbers of Eaglemen roam the wilderness, living alongside Feral Goblin and other creatures.
The year 643 of the Troll Empire Calendar.
After a lifetime of military service Chiron returned to the Chiron Manor in the northern part of the Kingdom.
This time.
He looks older.
One evening.
When he stood under the starry sky and looked up at the three bright moons, he could no longer help but sigh.
"Chiron, Chiron, no matter how unparalleled your fighting skills are, no matter how proud you are, a hundred years from now, you will still turn into a pile of bones."
At this moment.
The authoritative voice from twenty years ago rang out behind him once more.
"So, Chiron, have you made your decision?!"
Chiron turned around, looked at the great God of the Underworld before him, knelt on all fours, and swore allegiance.
"Great Lord of the Nether Moon, Chiron will prostrate himself at your feet for all eternity!"
The Lord of the Nether Moon nodded in satisfaction.
"A wise decision, Chiron. You won't regret your choice."
"Then, come with me!"
"Yes!"
then.
An Illusion river appeared at the feet of the God of the Underworld, with a small boat floating on it.
The space they were in instantly transformed, and they found themselves in a secluded and quiet place!
"Chiron, come aboard and help me row!"
"Yes!"
And the moment when the Centaur Legendary Chiron boarded the small boat and took up his pole.
A powerful Divinity entered his body.
"Nether River Ferrying!"
Thus, he became Demigod!
