The human race emerged

Leading them was Great Sage Azeba, one of the Goblins' three Legendaries.

"Great Sage, this is the ruin our men discovered!"

Among the mounted Goblins, an unusually tall, middle-aged Goblin knight glanced at the metal gate, then respectfully addressed the elderly Goblin behind him.

The elderly Goblin wore a crown made from the bones of some unknown creature and held a spiritwood scepter that resembled green jade!

At the Goblin knight's words, blue and white light flickered in the elder's emerald eyes, as though something mysterious were brewing within them!

Only after a long while did he return to normal from that strange, mysterious state.

Under the astonished gazes of the Goblin knights, the elder leaped off his dwarf wolf, went to the metal gate, and knelt before it, shouting with feverish excitement.

"Heaven favors our people! Heaven favors our people! The prophecy reveals that something within will bring our people strength and glory!"

"Oh! Not merely strength and glory! Once we obtain what lies within, we Goblins will be able to take the place of the Titan Giants and Primordial Dragons, becoming the masters of all Ferland!"

Once his fervor subsided, he stepped up to the middle-aged Goblin knight and calmly gave his orders.

"Aqil, I command you to return to the Goblin King Court as quickly as possible. Meet with Goblin King Amigel and have him send our finest legions and most skilled craftsmen here!"

"Also, tell him that this place holds the key to the rise of our Goblin people! It is more important than any of the possibilities we discussed before!"

"Yes, Great Sage! I guarantee that I will deliver your message to the King!"

With a solemn expression, the middle-aged Goblin knight thumped his chest and answered loudly!

One month later.

A Goblin legion nearly ten thousand strong set up camp there.

Three months later.

By some unknown means, the Goblins finally opened the metal gate.

Several years later.

The myriad races of Ferland suddenly discovered that intelligent beings resembling Titans had appeared among the Goblins.

Yet they stood only two meters tall, had unremarkable physiques, and bore not a trace of supernatural power. Nevertheless, the Goblins kept them under close guard.

They called themselves the human race!

After that, many things the myriad races of Ferland could not comprehend suddenly appeared among the Goblins. Some of these strange creations were immensely powerful, enough to make even the surviving Titans and dragons feel threatened!

The Eastern Sea Shore.

Paradise Mountain.

Inside the largest building on the summit.

It was a magnificent structure built from marble.

Ever since the Winged People had come into being, their beautiful members had gradually abandoned their former Eaglemen habits.

They had grown fond of beautiful things and demanded perfection in everything.

This building was no exception.

Inside, Jiang You sat in the seat of honor, with a young Winged man and woman standing beside him.

The Winged man stepped forward to report.

"Patriarch, we have confirmed that the Titan King and the Primordial Dragon Emperor did indeed gravely wound each other. The vast majority of Titans and dragons died in battle! In that case, do we still need to maintain our strategy of isolation?"

"According to our intelligence, fewer than ten Titan Giants remain in the world. There are slightly more surviving Primordial Dragons, but still only a dozen or so. All of them are grievously wounded, and the races that once served them have begun to waver in their loyalty."

"There is another, more important piece of news. The Goblins seem to be quietly reaching out to the myriad races!"

The Winged woman spoke as well.

Hearing this, Jiang You nodded lightly and asked.

"Then how has the Eagleman Royal Court been doing lately?"

"The Eaglemen King was grievously wounded in the final battle, but remains loyal to the gravely injured Thunder Titan. They also turned away the Goblins' envoy recently!"

"I think I understand. The Goblins are plotting rebellion! Still, as far as we are concerned, both the Titans and the Eagleman Royal Court are enemies!"

The Eagleman Royal Court already had a blood feud with them. As for the Titan Giants, Jiang You did not believe the Titans would look kindly upon the Winged People once they learned that he had been making use of a Titan's corpse for a hundred years!

He pondered for a while, then gave his orders.

"A war between the Goblins and Titans is unlikely to break out anytime soon. Here is what we will do. Claire, pass on my command: from this moment on, the Winged People will abandon our strategy of isolation. Have our people make more appearances across the lands and skies of Ferland."

"We must let everyone know that the Ferland Continent has more than just the Eaglemen as an intelligent race of the skies. There are also us, the Eastern Sea Winged People!"

"I believe it will not be long before a Goblin envoy comes to my Paradise Mountain!"
