"Your Majesty, you know that this world is filled with territories and rulers, but it isn't just that. Between territories, there is a huge unoccupied territory known to the people of the territories as The Forbidden Lands. There, beasts that are unimaginably powerful and have sentient minds exist. Ruins of old civilizations could also be seen sometimes, looking as if it was ravaged by a stampede.."
Continuing that, Han Yike explained everything. South of the territory that was once under the old Sun Devouring Empire, a forest that is incredibly massive houses a Beast Emperor, a beast that is as powerful as a Divine King Expert.
Fortunately, the Beast Emperor was a very friendly entity, establishing a pact between the territories that they wouldn't interfere with each other's businesses.
With Matthias' power, even though he is a god, although he would survive in a fight, he would only be able to survive being played with without wounding the Beast Emperor. The only reason the Beast Emperor wouldn't be able to kill him would be because of his power of creation and his ability to quickly regenerate, making him nearly unkillable.
There are also Mystic Realms scattered all across the world, with its average size reaching to that of the surface of Earth. Inside, abundant resources could be found, same as its powerful beasts. The more abundance of resources inside, the same goes with its dangers.
According to Han Yike, all the Mystic Realms inside or near the old empire's territory are currently under the dominant parties. The Yuan Dynasty, Qin's enemy, is one of the territories that has a Mystic Realm under their control. Inside, energy that is twice as abundant as compared to the outside world exists.
It was said that a lot of spirit herbs and minerals are inside that 10,000,000 square miles Mystic Realm.
Matthias then shook his head. With the current chaos inside the Yuan Dynasty, it is highly unlikely that they would still be owning the Mystic Realm. It would be highly likely that outside forces would go against them to own that realm.
Han Yike continued to explain. There are about ten Mystic Realms inside or near the old empire's territory. All of them are occupied by the dominant territories except one.
"It was known as the Sanguine Realm located in the ruins of Dali." Han Yike said with fear in his voice. "It was known that anyone who entered it never came back alive. All of them came out, but as only a mere structure of their skeleton."
"No one knows what is inside. But some have clues." Han Qiaoyi continued. "It was said that a hundred years ago, Dali was a dominant power among the old territories. It had a very old history, existing in the same timeline as the old empire's first rise. When Dali was placed under the rule of the Qin Monarch, Dali still held its place as a Dukedom under the dynasty."
"When the Sanguine Realm appeared a hundred years ago, it aroused the greed inside the hearts of the rulers of Dali and immediately declared it their own. Dali sent an expedition force inside but they never returned, which made the government of Dali think that the expedition force are trying to solo the resources, so they sent the loyal Dali Guards to seize the traitors, but the guards also didn't come back, which aroused the suspicion from the rulers of Dali. The Dali Guards are brainwashed people that are made to be extremely loyal to the rulers of Dali, but even they didn't come back."
"A week after the entrance of the Dali Guards, The Sanguine Realm opened and released hundreds of thousands of green- skinned creatures with bulky bodies. Their boar-like fangs sent shivers down the people's spines. They were powerful, taking seven Soul Strengthening Realm experts to take down one of them."
"The old territory of Dali was utterly destroyed, with three of the surrounding territories devastated with it. It took the joint cooperation of the surrounding territories and the dominant powers to work together just to expel the invading monsters." Han Qiaoyi told them the story that made even Matthias raise his eyebrows.
"To this day, cultivators of different strength and prowess still tries to own the Mystic Realm to this very day, but none even got near to succeeding."
"How far is that realm to us?" Matthias asked.
"Your Majesty, the ruins of Dali is situated at the central western part of the old empire. Our dynasty is in the south. We are seven kingdoms away from the Sanguine Realm." Han Yike replied.
Matthias nodded slowly. If ever the next breakout happens once again, they need to be prepared.
"Then, I have to go now. If you need anything, just tell me through Black. I would still use this identity later on." Matthias stood up and told the two of them.
"Affirmative, Your Majesty." The two nodded. Matthias then left the house.
Suddenly..
"The Wang Clan Young Master is here!" One of the people outside yelled.
It was as if a devouring beast arrived in the village. The villagers panicked and became frightened.
Seeing that, Matthias frowned. He then looked at the entrance where everyone was casting their frightened look.
There a chubby and arrogant man was riding his horse, looking at the villagers with disgust and contempt.
Matthias looked questioningly at his two "parents" that just came out. Han Yike also looked weirdly at the chubby man. Han Qiaoyi also looked at the chubby man with disgust.
"Your Majesty, that chubby man is the young master of the Baihu City Wang Clan and their only offspring, Wang Xuzhi. His clan spoiled that kid rotten, so it is normal for him to become arrogant. The Wang Clan is a considerably powerful force inside Baihu City and one of the top 20 forces in the Primal Western Regions. The Wang Clan is a family that rose just three years ago through businesses in all of the Western Regions. Now, they think that they rule over the weak." Han Yike explained distastefully.
"They've reached here?" Han Qiaoyi spat out coldly, "Your Majesty, let me finish him!"
Matthias raised his hand without glancing at Qiaoyi, "No, let him be."
"Why?" Han Qiaoyi asked with bewilderment.
Matthias then looked at Qiaoyi, "Don't you want to see some face-slapping?" He chuckled with a mischievous face.
