Chapter 971: 759 The Memories Of Grim Ancestor (2)



Ace's interest was instantly piqued upon hearing Freya's ambiguous words, "I'm listening!"

Even Eva attentively listened as she was even more interested in stories and lore than Ace. 

Freya smiled as she subtly said, "Before that, I want you to know what kind of status the Grim Ancestor has and his background. Do you know about the Resistance Cold War?" 

"I don't know much, only that it was the very first war between the Ancient Beast Race, who were once the only native of the Golden Sky World, and the invaders who appeared out of nowhere." Ace recollected the information he received from Patriarch Empty Dream when he first met him on the sky-changing border. 

But he was also confused about why Freya suddenly brought that up since this matter was very long ago. 

"Leader is full of surprises. Even I didn't know about this information before." Freya chuckled, "Anyway, indeed, the Resistance Cold War was between the Magic Beast Race, who ruled the Golden Sky World alone for a very long time, and abruptly appeared invaders, the Devils, Demons, and Hunters!

"At the time, there was only an Ancient Beast Empire, and you would be shocked to know the imperial family at that time happened to be the Grim Winged Serpent Clan! Not only that, but the Grim Ancestor was one of the six children of the Ancient Beast Emperor!" Freya revealed. 

Ace and Eva were both startled by this unexpected revelation as it was simply too absurd. 

"Are you sure? Because if it's true, then this means this guy is very, very old!" Ace questioned with uncertainty. 

"I know what you're implying. Even I thought the same, but it's hundred percent true. The Grim Winged Serpent Clan once stood at the apex of the Golden Sky World until the three races emerged out of nowhere. 

"Those three races boldly demand a part of the land which the Ancient Beast Empire controlled at that time, and you might also not know that there were no ten continents but only one giant continent!

"When the Beast Emperor bluntly rejected their demands and even killed their envoys in a fit, it was the start of a long and ruthless Resistance Cold War which spelled the Ancient Beast Empire's demise and first ever loose under the hands of three allied foreign races!" 

Ace knew about the ten continents being a single one as well, but he didn't know these many details, which were quite astonishing. 

Freya wasn't done either, "But do you know why the war actually ended despite the Beast Race continuing to be persistent for over two hundred years? It was because the Ancient Beast Emperor was assassinated by the devil race leader named Edward!

"Without their emperor's death, the Beast Race was a snake without a head, and everything was starting to go south for them. The allied races launched a full-time assault on them, and the beast race had no choice but gave in. 

"Afterward, the original Beast Empire was then divided into four regions among the three allied races and the Beast race. You can say in that first war, the beast race lost almost everything under the hands of the three allied races, and they were left in a mess because of their ruler's death. 

"The six children of the Ancient Beast Ancestor were naturally the next in the line to be the next Beast Emperor, and it was the custom of the Beast Race that the strongest among the ruler's children should get the crown. 

"Furthermore, after the lost war, they all needed a strong ruler to begin with, and you would be shocked to know that the Grim Ancestor was the one who ended up winning the throne!" 

Ace was flabbergasted when he heard this, and even Eva was in disbelief because if this was true, then didn't this mean they caught and even killed an Ancient Beast Emperor?

"Hehe, shocking, right? You have no idea just what kind of ruthless person this old snake had been. He won by using underhanded methods. After winning, he doesn't spare even a single one of his siblings and kills them all and afterward consumes them whole!

"He did it so the others won't rebel against him and make his position as the next beast emperor more solid than ever. But who could've thought it was just the start of another massive event? 

"Because after he ascended to the throne of the Beast Emperor, the three allied races' leaders paid him a visit, Edward, Albert, and Margret, also known as the trio of carnage at that time. 

"Although the Grim Ancestor was the ruler, he was also a coward and was simply too afraid of dying like his father, so he met with them with every single expert under him present. 

"But the three leaders were not there to kill him because they didn't need to since they all knew Grim Ancestor's personality quite well, and a coward sitting on a throne suits their needs more than a daring person like the Ancient Beast Emperor. 

"They suggested a four-nation alliance between the four races, which will be governed by laws set by the three allied races, and they were supposed to make a living being there more civilized and also to stop another war from occurring. 

"The Grim Ancestor agreed to this without hesitation since it aligned with his own thought process. However, it was also his biggest regret in his life, and he always lamented about he was too naïve back then and that if he hadn't accepted that alliance, things might've been far more different than today. 

"Because that Alliance turned out to be the three races using the beast race to build something in the pretext of harmony. They found out about it when it was already too late, and when they did, more foreign races starting to emerge in the Golden Sky World!

"Even though those new races were not as powerful as the three races but the three allied races didn't seem to want that either. Because they were starting to take those newly emerged races under their wings, making their own forces more powerful."

Freya suddenly smiled coldly as she revealed, "Lastly, the Grim Ancestor also soon found that the Old Ancient Beast Emperor, his father, wasn't dead as well!"
