The Death of the Human Emperor

"Hey, you know what, it actually seems to be true!"

"Only four have been matched. What is the fifth one? Why have I never heard of it? Judging from its outline, it seems somewhat unfamiliar."

"Why are the five beasts inside the house, and so far away from the Human Emperor? They appear to be behind him. What does that mean...?"

As someone spoke, their expression suddenly changed:

Could this be a veiled reference to something happening behind the scenes?

While the crowd was focused on the five beasts, another group of people were paying attention to the Beast Race behind the humans.

"These Beast Race are just observing from a distance. Judging from the crowd, it seems they've had a conflict or disagreement with the Human Emperor?"

"Is this a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind? Waiting for the Human Race to weaken from internal strife before making a move?"

"It seems there's more to it than that. Since the Beast Race have been involved, I'd say this conflict between Human Race is most likely instigated by the Beast Race!"

"Tsk! What a clever trick to sow discord!"

"..."

Amidst the lively discussion...

The crowd was in the distance.

Lin Xie turned to look at Bai Po, who had transformed into Human Race, and said:

Is this the history between the Beast Race and Human Race?

These were things he didn't know.

Bai Po withdrew his gaze from the screen and gently shook his head:

According to our clan's records, there is no relevant information.

According to records, the Human Race emerged later than the Beast Race, and as for the so-called Human Emperor, there is no such person.

Lin Xie nodded without speaking, his gaze returning to the screen.

"Unexpectedly, they've come up with some new tricks this time. It seems the one manipulating all of this is being reborn time and time again."

Lin Xie felt a slight chill.

To be honest, although I knew that this possibility existed, being absolutely certain was a completely different feeling.

In the previous life, the so-called Human Emperor Inheritance went straight to the point, and none of these scenes appeared at all.

Since things have changed in this life, it's foreseeable that the other party is likely also wary of people like myself who have owned more than one peculiar gold coin.

"All these fancy tricks, just to scam gold coins, really,"

Lin Xie thought to himself, somewhat speechless:

"What a treacherous world!"

At this moment.

The golden light in the distance changed once again.

This time, apart from the Human Emperor, there were very few Human Race in the scene, and they all faced the same direction as the Human Emperor.

All around, there were figures of Beast Race.

Upon closer inspection, although there were many Beast Race this time, their outlines were basically the same as those of the five major Beast Race.

Among those beast hordes, there were also some figures, not very large, and upon closer inspection, they seemed to be younger than the Beast Race, surrounding them.

This time, the scene immediately evoked a sense of anger.

"Did the Beast Race's juniors threaten the Human Emperor?"

With the preceding painting as a prelude, many people had similar thoughts upon seeing this painting for the first time.

Some people even spoke up angrily, cursing:

"What a despicable and shameless Beast Race!"

For a moment, a sense of anger was brewing within the crowd.

Then the scene changes again.

The process was omitted, but the result was presented directly.

There was a Beast Race whose head was separated from his body and scattered on the ground.

However, the other four Beast Race each bit into a part of the Human Emperor's body and devoured it.

Such a dramatic change immediately drew gasps of disbelief from countless people present:

"How is that possible?!"

"Is this... the Human Emperor is dead???"

"What on earth happened? No, this is too sudden!"

"..."

While everyone was still bewildered and shocked, the scene changed once again.

This time, the Human Emperor was nowhere to be seen.

Instead, there were large numbers of Beast Race.

At the very top of the image is a thick, irregular golden light, which at first glance gives a feeling of heaviness and oppression, like dark clouds pressing down on the city.

Among the beasts, four Beast Race stood in different directions, each with a massive size, and were considered the leaders of the Beast Race.

All around, although the number of Beast Race was enormous, a closer look revealed that all of their heads were turned toward the four Beast Race.

Further out from these Beast Race, tiny Human Race could be vaguely seen, all facing the four beast shadows, but their postures were all bowed.

Upon seeing this painting, the previously heated discussion among the crowd suddenly quieted down considerably.

The death of the Human Emperor was an unexpected and shocking turn of events.

However, the content presented in the current scene is even more depressing.

It wasn't just the Human Emperor who lost; it seems the entire Human Race was relegated to a level below the Beast Race.

"So, this is the truth behind the Beast Race's past glory?"

A voice rang out from the crowd, its tone laced with doubt:

"If it weren't for those beasts using underhanded methods, the Human Emperor probably wouldn't have perished. And if they hadn't devoured Human Race, the Beast Race certainly wouldn't have become so powerful!"

Similar questions arose from various parts of the crowd.

These words, upon hearing them, immediately caused many people's expressions to change slightly.

Most people know about the Beast Race's past glory.

In fact, for most people, the rise of the Human Race to power seems to be inextricably linked to the decline of the Beast Race.

But after seeing these images...

Clearly, things are not that simple.

The decline of the Beast Race and the rise of the Human Race seem to be only the second half of the story.

As for the first half...

"So this is the truth? If they hadn't won against the Human Emperor through despicable means, the Beast Race would never have had its later glory!" someone exclaimed angrily.

Someone pondered, "Five despicable Beast Race, one side was killed, leaving only four. These four are revered beasts by both sides, aren't they the so-called Four Sacred Beast Race?"

Some people snorted coldly:

"What a name for the Sacred Beast Race! These matters are almost never known in the world. Is there really no force deliberately covering this up behind the scenes? If I'm not mistaken, it must be the Beast Race!"

"I thought the White Tiger Clan treated the Human Race well, even willing to provide resources and opportunities for Human Race. Now it seems they might be plotting something in secret!" someone said with suspicion.

Some people looked calm and unsurprised, glancing at the others who were either indignant or dissatisfied, and gently shook their heads.

"Those Non-Self our kind are bound to have different hearts; this saying has been around for so many years, so what's so surprising about it?"

"..."

Compared to the anger and dissatisfaction of the crowd.

Lin Xie's expression suddenly changed, and soon an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

"So, the previous rumors weren't just baseless gossip?"

"Those ghosts came straight for me, weren't they mistaken?!"
