Chapter 215: You Are A Prince
It just came to me that I haven''t really mentioned anything about my Daily Quests. Well, I still doplete them and the reason why I don''t say anything about it is that it is an easy clear every day. I just bite myself ten times and that''s it, I get the rewards with minimal effort. One would argue that I could use the Daily Quests as an excuse to bite other people but no, that would be against my ideals. Although I''m part rabid human, I''m still a human, you know. That''d be weird if I just went ahead and bit other people.
Still, if I were supposed to bite someone, I''d rather bite someone with smooth skin and a nice scent. Justying it out there.
Back to our current situation, the pinkish light that surrounded us is some sort of teleportation skill of the Space Element. It required the overall Qi Energy of every member of the Sky Knights so I could tell that it was a pretty hard skill. To be able to teleport such a huge crowd is an incredible feat, even I was amazed.
Once the pinkish orb of light that surrounded us dissipated into thin air, we found ourselves in a wide open space built with marble. Pirs stood from afar and they were of the same texture and color as the marble wherein we spawned. The ce seemed to be far above the ground since one I could literally touch the clouds in the sky. The air seemed to be thinner here as well, a normal human would probably pass out after ten to twenty minutes by how thin the air was, but no one said anything about it. Aside from that, there''s a huge castle by the end of the columns of pirs that towered over a wide pathway.
"This is the Sky Kingdom, home to the Tang n," Mae announced. "Once again, we formally wee Young Master to the Sky Kingdom."
As our group walked towards the gigantic castle, Mae began her exnation. "Long ago, there were two ns, the Tang n and the Yan n. These two ns had the most powerful elements to ever exist, and from them, the other elements branched, creating the elements we know of today... "
''So we''re starting here, huh. interesting.'' I told myself as our group eagerly listened.
"The Tang n had the Light Element, an element that brought healing and brightness to the world. And as such, every cultivator with the light element was deemed a genius, and they were highly sought after throughout the centuries. Because resources were focused on them, they managed to stand at the top, cultivating their talents more and more for the betterment of mankind. The other cultivators who awakened to other elements were still taken care of, but the resources given to them were iparable to the ones given to the light element cultivators."
"As for the Yan n, they had the Dark Element, an element that resembled chaos and destruction. Time, Space, and Chaos Elements branched from the Dark Element, making them the most powerful and destructive elements to ever exist. These elements were so rare, that one out of a million people could awaken one of them. Compared to the Light Element, which can be awakened by one out of a hundred thousand people, the Dark Elements were so rare that it caused a great disturbance to the Yan n, they thought that one of these days, they''ll be overrun by the Tang n and because of that fear, great unrest befell the people."
"But what the Yan n didn''t know was that one cultivator of the Dark Element could easily take on ten Light Element Cultivators. After discovering that fact, the two ns decided not to fight, and for centuries, they lived in harmony."
"After a few more centuries, however, the Tang n discovered that having the Light Element enables a cultivator to learn all of the elements in the natural spectrum. Elements such as water, ice, light, thunder, poison, earth, fire, and others could easily be learned by any Light Element cultivator. And not only that, they could learn as many elements as they can. Thus, the bnce between the Tang n and the Yan n tipped in favor of the Tang n, driving the Yan n into a corner. But even after all that, the Light n never attacked the Yan n because they liked the peace... but it was all in vain."
"Fearing that the Tang n is plotting against them, the Yan n made their first move, attacking the Tang n in secret during a gathering. Many members of the Tang n died that day, and the others were forced into captivity. Because the Tang n wanted peace more than the Yan n, they were the ones who fell first. And in just five years, the Tang n was driven out of the Higher ne. The Tang n were forced to dwell in the Middle and Lower ne where a lot of criminals from the Higher ne were exiled."
"They were surprised to see that the criminals who were exiled were already dead, and their descendants had already thrived in the Middle and Lower ne. With no hope ofing back to the Higher ne, the remaining members of the Tang n lived afortable life in the Lower ne and the Middle ne. For millennia they prospered, and before long, the Middle ne and the Lower ne have finally be a stablemunity, a stable world where people could dwell. It was totally unlike before wherein both nes were home to the worst of criminals, and the harsh conditions were a constant punishment for them. Now, the Middle ne and the Lower ne were terraformed into something that resembled the Higher ne."
Let''s just say, I could already tell where this story is going. I had the urge to interrupt Mae but she was really getting into the moment telling the story, so I thought that it''d be best if I just let her continue.
"However, those in the Yan n weren''t satisfied with exiling the Tang n and gaining control over the whole Higher ne, they wanted it to stay that way." Mae continued. "So every ten or so years, they go through what they call ''The Purge''. If they see someone cultivating and climbing realms faster than they wanted, they would eliminate that person. Any threat they see in the Middle and Lower ne is checked out, killed because none is allowed to step into the Higher ne, except those people who belong to the Yan n. You may have heard from your grandfather that your mom and dad died from a fire when you were young... but do you think your mom and dad could die in a simple house fire, Young Master?"
"No, now that you mentioned it, I did have a nagging feeling that everything was false. My mom and dad were already in the Transcendence Realm at 24 years of age, they''re considered geniuses... or so that''s what my grandfather said."
"That''s right. They died because the Yan n considered them a threat. Your grandfather died in their hands as well."
"Wait, how do you know all that? Are you perhaps rted to my parents?"
Mae shook her head and proceeded with her exnation. "Although I am not connected to your grandfather nor your parents, I have sworn to protect the Young Master no matter the cost. Did you know, Young Master, that your grandfather is the direct descendant of our Tang n leader? He is, in other words, the King of the whole of Tang Sect, and your parents were next-in-line as the King and the Queen."
"You are a prince, Young Master." Leonard joined in.
"And you have no idea how much your grandfather and your parents sacrificed just to keep you safe. Young Master, we really are d that you coulde back. We hope that you would rule over us with good judgment, as our king, and the new leader of the Tang n."
"Wait, grandpa is... and mom and dad are... wait, what? WHAT?!" I eximed before I realized it. I then coughed to try to regain myposure but my mind was already swimming in an ocean of confusion. How could I readily ept being a King when I was just a lowly Sect Master a few seconds ago?! And who would''ve thought that my mom and dad were like that, what?!
Natalia and the others stared at me in amazement as well, and I could tell that they were not expecting the revtion at all!
"Five years ago," Mae went on normally as if she just didn''t drop a bomb on us. "The Yan n decided to get rid of the whole Tang n once and for all. With the help of a virus and the influence of the ck Spirit Sect which they formed over the years, they proceeded with the n, and five yearster, here we are, with the Middle ne and the Lower ne almost wiped out."
