Become a god from scratch

Chapter 170: Senhai Royal Court, Foolish Old Man!

Tieshan and his tribe of mountain dwarves are just a branch of the mountain dwarves. In fact, there are many branches of the mountain dwarves in the Old Land.

However, the legendary ancestral land of the dwarves is not only the ancestral land of the mountain dwarves, but also the ancestral land of all dwarves in the Old Land!
For example, Tieshan’s fourth apprentice, Rex, is a member of the Thunder Dwarf Clan. However, many years ago, both the Mountain Dwarf Clan and the Thunder Dwarf Clan were just part of the original Dwarf Clan.

Just like the Earth Origin Star is now regarded as a whole, but there are different countries and races within the Earth Origin Star.

Although there are many contradictions within the Earth Source Star, they will still stand together when facing major events such as the changes in the old land, which concern the survival of civilization.

The ancestral land of the dwarves back then was just like the Earth Origin Star today.

In the dwarf ancestral land, there live many kinds of dwarves, both the mountain dwarves and the thunder dwarves are just one of them.

The only difference is that the dwarves back then were much stronger than the Earth Origin Star.

Even after searching all over the Earth Origin Star today, there is not even one monarch-level person. However, the ancestral land of the dwarves back then had a Saint Lord of the Ninth Heaven as the monarch in charge!

According to Tieshan's description, during the peak period of the dwarf tribe, there were even three holy lords at the same time, who were more powerful than the current earth dragon tribe!
The dwarves at that time were not only feared by everyone in their old land, but the situation was definitely very different from the current situation where they have to scatter and seek survival.

"Since the dwarves were so powerful back then, why would it be..." Lin Xuan asked hesitantly.

Because he didn't know whether this was a secret among the dwarves, but he was indeed very confused.

The life span of dwarves is much longer than that of native humans. Even the most ordinary dwarves can live for more than 300 years if they do not suffer from serious illness.

Once one reaches the monarch level, he can live for at least tens of thousands of years. And the Saint Lord-level dwarves who stand at the peak of the ninth level of the monarch level, can't they live for a hundred thousand years?

In this situation, he really couldn't understand how the dwarves, who were once so glorious, had fallen to their current situation.

"Because something happened in the 'Forest Sea Court'."

Tieshan did not shy away from this point, but his tone was noticeably lowered.

"'Senhai Royal Court'?"

Lin Xuan was somewhat unfamiliar with this name.

Although he has never left the Taiwu Royal Court, he is already familiar with most of the names of the Thirty-three Royal Courts.

After all, the Thirty-Three Royal Courts have existed for a very long time, and there are no taboos that cannot be mentioned, so this can be regarded as one of the public information of the Old Land.

But it is obvious that there is no 'Forest Sea Royal Court' among the Thirty-three Royal Courts, which means that this is most likely a royal court that has disappeared.

When Lin Xuan originally heard the concept of the Thirty-Three Royal Courts, he thought that there had only been these Thirty-Three Royal Courts in the old land since ancient times, and they had never changed.

But now listening to Tieshan's words, it is obviously not the case.

"You may have guessed it, but there is indeed no 'Forest Sea Royal Court' among the Thirty-Three Royal Courts today, because the 'Forest Sea Royal Court' ceased to exist more than 70,000 years ago..." Tieshan sighed.

"The former dwarf tribe was a member of the 'Forest Sea Royal Court'?" Lin Xuan had roughly guessed some clues.

"good."

Tieshan nodded and said, "I think you should have understood why I am so sure about the cause of the 'Unknown Level' disaster, right?"

"Did the Domain King of 'Forest Sea Royal Court' encounter an 'unknown level' disaster?" Lin Xuan's heart trembled slightly.

"Ah."

Tieshan nodded again, confirming Lin Xuan's guess.

After hearing this, Lin Xuan finally understood why Tieshan was so in awe of the Domain King, but still believed in the existence of the "unknown level" disaster.

Because the decline of the dwarves was caused by this...

Many races may have long forgotten what happened more than 70,000 years ago, and the existence of the "Forest Sea Royal Court" may have been forgotten.

But as the victims of the destruction of the 'Forest Sea Royal Court', the dwarves naturally dare not forget this incident, and it has even been passed down from generation to generation.

It was the first time that Tieshan heard the elders of the clan talk about the "unknown level" disaster. His reaction was even more exaggerated than Lin Xuan's. He didn't believe that such a thing existed at all.

But the past of the dwarves is not false. It can be said that the culprit that caused the dwarves to become what they are today is the 'unknown level' disaster!
"According to the records of the ancestral land, the 'unknown level' weirdness that appeared in the 'Forest Sea Royal Court' was an old man who looked a little foolish. He would ask some strange questions everywhere..."

Tieshan recalled, "Some questions are relatively simple, so they can be answered easily. For those who answer correctly, the somewhat foolish old man is completely harmless and will not actively hurt anyone."

"But if you answer incorrectly... or if you don't want to pay attention to it, or even take the initiative to attack it, you will be wiped out by an unknown force!"

"If that's the case, then the King of the Forest Sea can just not see it. It shouldn't specifically look for a target, right?" Lin Xuan asked.

"You are right. It will not specifically target anyone. Its route is completely random, and even the people it asks are random. The King of the Forest Sea can choose not to see it if he does not want to..."

Tieshan smiled bitterly when he said this, "But the problem is, we can only come to this conclusion after we already know how powerful it is. Do you think the domain kings will think they can be threatened?"

Lin Xuan was suddenly speechless.

He actually understood what Tieshan wanted to express. Simply put, the King of the Forest Sea did not think that the foolish old man could pose a threat to him.

This is also normal.

As a domain king, he can even deal with a 'world-destroying' disaster that can destroy a large domain. How could he be frightened by a foolish old man?

If a person is really afraid of this and that, he will never become a domain king.

However, it was obvious that the King of the Forest Sea also fell into this self-confidence.

"When the foolish old man first appeared, he actually didn't cause much of a stir, because his way of moving was simply walking, and the range he could affect was actually very limited. If he was guided properly using external factors such as the terrain, he could even be led out of the 'Forest Sea Royal Court'..."

Tieshan continued with a bitter smile, "But everyone at that time underestimated it. The royal court was too embarrassed to use this method to lure the foolish old man out of the country, so they kept making mistakes."

"Huluwa saves grandpa?" Lin Xuan said subconsciously.

"What kid?" Tieshan didn't understand.

"It's okay. I mean... 'Forest Sea Royal Court' chose to send stronger people to try to solve it, right?" Lin Xuan guessed. "Ah..."

Tieshan sighed and nodded again, "You guessed right, they did so. In the end, one of the only two Saint Lords of our dwarf race volunteered to take charge."

"Did he get it right?"

"He is a Saint Lord-level being of the Ninth Heaven. Do you think he will answer questions honestly?" Tieshan shook his head with a wry smile.

Lin Xuan immediately stopped asking this question.

Because the answer was actually very obvious. The holy lord-level being of the dwarf race had no intention of answering the foolish old man's question at all.

He chose to solve the problem with force!

Then, it was obviously not the foolish old man who was finally solved, otherwise the "Forest Sea Royal Court" would not have been destroyed in the long river of history.

"When the Holy Lord of my clan also disappeared, the Queen of the Forest Sea Region finally couldn't sit still anymore, and she went to see the foolish old man in person..."

Tieshan said in a heavy tone, "No one knows what happened. We only know that the King of the Forest Sea Territory has never appeared again, even until the fall of the Forest Sea Royal Court. And the foolish old man also disappeared in the territory of the Forest Sea Royal Court."

"Did the King of the Forest Sea die together with it?" Lin Xuan asked.

"I'm afraid not." Tieshan shook his head and said, "It is said that the foolish old man appeared again 40,000 years ago, just like he did back then, asking questions along the way. As long as you can answer its questions correctly, you will be safe."

"However, at that time, the affairs of the foolish old man had already been known by the high-ranking officials of other royal courts. With the precedent of the 'Forest Sea Royal Court', naturally no domain king would risk being wiped out to touch it."

"After all, when faced with a 'world-destroying' disaster, if the Domain King does not take action, the entire royal court will be destroyed. In the case of a foolish old man, the crisis can be temporarily resolved with guidance. No matter how proud those Domain Kings are, they are not bored enough to gamble their own safety on this."

"The most important thing is that even if you win the bet, there is no benefit. But if you lose the bet, the 'Forest Sea Court' is a lesson for you..."

Tieshan's tone sounded a little lost.

After all, that was the most glorious era of the dwarves, but to a dwarf like him who was born today, it was just a legend.

Never go back.

When Lin Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

Although he is not a dwarf, even though he was once as powerful as the dwarves, he has declined to this day due to such a ridiculous reason.

It also made him realize that the old land was more dangerous than he had imagined.

Ever since Zhao Qiankun took his fancy to him and accepted him as his disciple, he couldn't help but feel a little proud, and even his maturity was of no use.

Because of this incident, his destiny was completely changed.

With the protection of his master Zhao Qiankun, even if he couldn't walk sideways in [Bawu City], he would definitely have a smooth journey.

This made him forget himself for a while.

But after hearing about the experiences of the dwarves, he realized that anything could happen in the Old Land.

Even the existence of the Domain King will disappear because of a single thought, let alone other people?

He did not continue to ask about what happened to the Iron Mountain Dwarves afterwards, because the process was actually not important, and he could completely guess some of the circumstances.

With the fall of the Forest King, the 'Forest Royal Court' naturally became the only royal court without a domain king at that time. Need I say what this means?
You know, the real core area of ​​the Old Land has already been divided up by many royal courts, and the territory and fortune are directly proportional.

With the presence of domain kings on both sides, the two royal courts will naturally not fight to the death. At most, there will be a certain degree of competition.

In this limited competition, the exchanges and the increase and decrease of territory between the two sides would not be too exaggerated.

Because the greatest confidence of a royal court always comes from the domain king, and domain kings rarely fight to the death with each other.

It’s not that they are in harmony, but that having reached this level, no one can easily kill the other.

Even if he really tried his best to accomplish it, he would definitely not get anything good out of it, and before there was a result, he would definitely not be able to keep his territory.

In other words, if any domain king wants to kill another domain king, he must at least be prepared to be seriously injured and his royal court destroyed.

If it weren't for a deep blood feud, who would do such a thankless task?

But the situation of the 'Forest Sea Royal Court' back then was obviously different. The King of the Forest Sea suddenly disappeared, and the 'Forest Sea Royal Court' became a piece of fat meat without an owner!
How could the other royal courts surrounding the 'Forest Sea Royal Court', especially those that already had conflicts with it, miss such an opportunity?

Therefore, the fate of the 'Forest Sea Royal Court' was already determined from the moment the King of the Forest Sea disappeared because of the foolish old man.

As for the many forces within the 'Forest Sea Royal Court', if they react quickly enough and are willing enough, they may be able to retain some vitality.

Anyone who is not clear about anything will end up like the dwarves, who will be torn apart and wander around their old land to survive.

Lin Xuan even suspected that the dwarves were still being suppressed by some force until now, otherwise how could they still be a group of scattered sand after 70,000 years?
"You guessed right. There are indeed some forces targeting us."

After hearing Lin Xuan's guess, Tieshan's face became a little heavy. "Although we are no longer qualified to find out who is targeting us, it is no more than the forces that divided up the 'Forest Sea Royal Court' in the past."

"In fact, only a very small number of our ancestors who were in the ancestral land escaped. The others who survived were all members of our clan who had long been away from the 'Forest Sea Royal Court'. Although those forces also wanted to wipe out our clan, most of our members who were stranded outside had turned to the forces of other royal courts."

"Those forces that are dividing up the 'Forest Sea Royal Court' are all very powerful, but even they can't do anything in multiple royal courts at the same time. If they do, they will also arouse public anger, which is bound to be a loss."

"However, although they can't directly wipe out all of our people, they have been targeting us in secret. For tens of thousands of years, whenever the situation of our people gets a little better, some unknown enemies will emerge..."

When Tieshan said this, he realized that he had gone off topic a bit, so he waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about these heavy topics. Although those people have very long arms, the Taiwu King's Court is definitely one of the few places they dare not easily set foot in. This is also the reason why our group fled here."

Lin Xuan nodded and did not continue the topic.

Because this topic is obviously too heavy for Tieshan, if it weren't for the mention of the "unknown level" disaster, he probably wouldn't have talked about it.

But it must be said that the experience of the dwarves also gave him a greater sense of urgency!

The changes in the old land are about to sweep across the Earth Origin Star, and no one knows how long it will take. It could be decades, or it could be more than ten years...but who can guarantee that it won't be just one or two years?
He cannot put all his hopes on his master Zhao Qiankun; his own strength is the most practical thing!
