Listening to Hell Swordsman · Azure Abyss, Yi Tianchen felt a chill deep within his heart.
Once again, he was confronted with a strange saying that left him completely baffled, much like the words of Elder Villager. Two extraordinary NPCs had both uttered a similar riddle!
What exactly was this destined fate?
While Hell Swordsman · Azure Abyss was lost in thought, Yi Tianchen did not remain idle. He quietly summarized and connected all the information he had gathered, ultimately reaching a conclusion: behind Dragon's Roar lay an untold story!
“Teacher, what kind of history does Dragon's Roar have?”
“After a thousand years of sedimentation, since you have managed to reclaim Dragon's Roar, it signifies that it is fated to be with you. You have the right to know the truth buried beneath that long-forgotten history!”
Yi Tianchen's heart leaped with joy, and he couldn't help but glance at Hell Swordsman · Azure Abyss a couple more times. At the same time, he clearly realized that the unknown past was about to resurface, and the various truths and falsehoods buried beneath the ruins would soon be judged.
Turning around, Hell Swordsman · Azure Abyss calmly said, “The specific history must be traced back to the Holy War a thousand years ago!”
What followed was nearly an hour-long narration. Hell Swordsman · Azure Abyss vividly recounted that historical period from a third-party perspective.
Yi Tianchen quickly realized that the details regarding the Holy War shared by Hell Swordsman · Azure Abyss were largely similar to those told by Elder Villager, with differences beginning at the forging of the Divine Weapon Longyin.
At that time, the Dwarven Clan had many members living alongside the Elf Clan in a forest far removed from worldly affairs. The outbreak of the Holy War brought devastation to the entire Dreamland Continent, dragging even the innocent dwarves and elves into the flames of war.
However, due to the overwhelming strength of the Otherworldly Race, both dwarves and elves were ultimately forced into retreat and compelled to form an alliance with humans, whom they had not previously befriended, to jointly resist the Otherworldly Race.
In the later stages of the Holy War, humans began forging one of the Three Divine Weapons known as Heaven's Path. This news spread quickly and reached both dwarves and elves.
Not long after, the Dwarves poured all their strength into forging the Dragon's Roar, while the Elf Clan also began crafting the Shattered Dream.
Thus, the Three Divine Weapons were born one after another...
This is what Yi Tianchen learned from the Hell Swordsman, Azure Abyss, regarding the origins of the Three Divine Weapons. The purpose behind their creation was now quite clear, and a serious misunderstanding had been clarified by Yi Tianchen.
The misunderstanding was why the three major clans chose to forge the Three Divine Weapons only in the later stages of the Holy War.
The Hell Swordsman, Azure Abyss, had previously mentioned that as the flames of the Holy War gradually extinguished, humanity began forging their own destiny. On this basis, both the Dwarves and Elves crafted Dragon's Roar and Shattered Dream respectively.
Therefore, the purpose of the Three Divine Weapons' emergence was not for the so-called Holy War!
Looking at the developments in later history, after the flames of the Holy War were extinguished, both the Dwarves and Elves inevitably suffered heavy losses and were ultimately replaced by humanity, making the answer glaringly obvious—
Dragon's Roar and Shattered Dream were not created to combat any Otherworldly Race; on the contrary, they were forged to oppose humanity!
As for another lesser-known story about Dragon's Roar, the Hell Swordsman, Azure Abyss, provided Yi Tianchen with a detailed explanation...
After the Three Divine Weapons emerged one after another, to enhance Dragon's Roar's combat power, the Dwarven Clan spared no effort and sought support from their long-time allies, the Elf Clan. Together, they slayed a giant dragon and sealed its Dragon Soul within the sword.
From that moment on, Dragon's Roar truly lived up to its name!
However, this action by the Dwarves soon provoked retaliation from the dragon race. The Sacred Relics—Heart of Courage and Heart of the Elf—of both clans were seized by dragons. Consequently, both clans fell into decline and were ultimately supplanted by humanity.
Thus, after many long years had passed, what remained of the Dwarves and Elves were bestowed with an eternal mission: to seek out the Sacred Relic!
Analyzing the situation, Yi Tianchen could vaguely guess the story behind the search for Earth's Essence.
Finding Earth's Essence and breaking the seal of Dragon's Roar was the first task of the Elder Villager. Once the seal of Dragon's Roar was successfully broken, it was believed that the Elder Villager's next mission would inevitably be to seek revenge against the dragon clan and reclaim the Sacred Relic of the Dwarven Clan that had been lost for a thousand years.
The ultimate goal, of course, was to rebuild the former Dwarven Kingdom!
With this thought in mind, Yi Tianchen suddenly felt a surge of excitement. It seemed that the Elder Villager was not completely using him; rather, it was because Dragon's Roar had fallen into Yi Tianchen's hands that the Elder Villager needed to rely on him to achieve his final objective.
The biggest doubt in Yi Tianchen's heart was instantly resolved, and he felt much more relaxed. As for other mysteries—such as fate and the wheel of destiny—he decided to set them aside for now.
Clearly, such a vast and complex game plot could not be unraveled by mere speculation. Perhaps one day, when the time was right, everything would become clear.
For Yi Tianchen, the only thing he should focus on now was wholeheartedly searching for Earth's Essence and unsealing Dragon's Roar!
Returning to the initial question, Yi Tianchen asked, "Teacher, how should I go about finding the Boundless Land?"
Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss pondered for a moment before shaking his head. "The Three Great Forbidden Lands are not easy to find. I cannot provide you with more information. Perhaps you could continue searching in the forests to the west. However, much of the information may have long been buried by time and may never be found again."
"Then... can you tell me what the other two forbidden places in the Three Great Forbidden Lands are?"
"The Land of Souls and Flower Secret Realm!"
"The Land of Souls? Flower Secret Realm?" Upon hearing this, Yi Tianchen realized that those places truly deserved their titles as forbidden lands.
"Indeed!"
Hell Swordsman · Azure Abyss suddenly relaxed and chuckled at Yi Tianchen: "I may not be able to provide much information about Boundless Land and Flower Secret Realm, but Land of Souls..."
"What about Land of Souls?"
"Hehe, it is a place filled with evil, capable of binding and devouring souls. It is also the place where every Hell Swordsman undergoes their growth and trials. One day in the future, you will experience it for yourself!"
"The trial ground of the Hell Swordsman? So, you came out from Land of Souls?" Yi Tianchen was taken aback.
"One could say that!"
Yi Tianchen nodded. Now that all the mysteries that could be unraveled had been revealed, it seemed like it was time to leave!
After respectfully bidding farewell, just as Yi Tianchen was about to turn away, he heard Hell Swordsman · Azure Abyss say, "That was your first question. What about your second question?"
Yi Tianchen smiled slightly: "Master, I already have the answer to my second question!"
"Oh? Please share it with me!"
"My second question actually concerns the Otherworldly Race. In human history, the instigator of the Holy War was the Undead, but the truth of the matter is clearly not so!"
"Hehe... that's just your opinion. Since the day humans and my Undead Clan appeared, we were destined to be incompatible. After the Holy War, only humans and Undead remain from the once thriving Four Races on the Dreamland Continent."
The words came to an abrupt halt, but Yi Tianchen instantly understood what Hell Swordsman · Azure Abyss was trying to convey...
It is well known that today’s Dreamland Continent is dominated by humans. All history will inevitably be written in favor of human rule.
The once vibrant Four Races were now reduced to the incompatible Humans and Undead. In the absence of a third party for reference, a certain period in Human history recorded the Undead as the culprits of the Holy War. The truth would inevitably be buried beneath the ruins of time, hidden from sight.
***
After bidding farewell to the Hell Swordsman, Azure Abyss, Yi Tianchen left the Magic Stone Tower.
Adjusting the Vine Ring on his head and the black cloth covering his face, Yi Tianchen felt a sense of satisfaction. In such circumstances, it was impressive that the Hell Swordsman, Azure Abyss, could recognize him at a glance, especially compared to those players with poor eyesight.
During this time, Yi Tianchen noticed a notification flashing in his information panel. Upon opening it, he found a message from Liu Yuhan sent over half an hour ago.
The content of the message was simple: Liu Yuhan and his group had visited Black Wind Stronghold and discovered significant changes after its respawn. The haystacks were gone, and the wooden houses had been replaced with sturdy stone buildings, designed to prevent incidents similar to Yi Tianchen's fiery raid on the bandit hideout.
However, those bandits still dropped plenty of Silver Coins, making it an ideal area for guilds and studios to profit. Consequently, Black Wind Stronghold had become a hotly contested territory, with many factions fighting fiercely for a foothold there.
But clearly, these matters no longer concerned Yi Tianchen. He glanced at the dense and silent forest ahead, dragging along his Wild Fury as he hummed an aimless tune, walking happily onward…
