Chapter 950 - Immortal Monarch

After coming out of his daze, the Lord took a long and deep breath before speaking, "The Immortal Monarch is a prominent figure from after the Primordial Era. He has another nickname, but I will get to that later."

"First, you should probably learn more about the Nine Heavens and its history."

"The Primordial Era is the first known era. It's what some people call the 'beginning of time', as this is the furthest history goes."

"The Primordial Era lasted for countless millions of years. During this time, many legends were created."

"However, towards the end of the Primordial Era, a massive war between the first Celestial Emperor and the cultivators living in that world occurred. It was known as the Heavenly War of Immortals and Gods. I won't get into the details since it's really long and has nothing to do with our topic, but many powerful figures had died after that war."The source of this content is novelenglish.net . fire(.)nᴇt

"A few thousand years later, the Primordial Era ended when the first known demon 'Red Tyrant' suddenly showed up in the Divine Heaven. Because of the Heavenly War that resulted in the deaths of countless experts, the human race was quickly overwhelmed by the demons, thus the beginning of a new era— the Demonic Era."

"The demons ruled the Divine Heavens for millions of years until the Divine Paragon appeared. After sealing the Demonic Realm and defeating most of the demons out there, the Demonic Era came to an end."

Yuan digested all of this information with a serious face.

'I see… Primordial Era and the Demonic Era… There's still so much I don't know even though I have the Divine Paragon's memories…'

The Lord continued after allowing Yuan some time to breathe.

"After the Demonic Era is an era known as the Immortal Monarch's Era, where a single person ruled."

"However, even though I say that he'd dominated the Nine Heavens, it wasn't anything official. Nobody knows the Immortal Monarch's background or where he came from, but he was so immensely powerful that not even the Celestial Emperor of that era could control him."

"With that being said, it was not his strength that truly shocked the world— it was his connections— his companions."

"The Immortal Monarch, also known as the Monarch of Beasts, was the first person in history to make Divine Beasts willingly obey him."

"What…?" Yuan was dumbfounded after hearing this information.

"Before the Immortal Monarch's Era, Divine Beasts did not communicate with humans, and to human cultivators, Divine Beasts were superior beings that lived in a different world."

"Humans revered Divine Beasts and treated them like Gods, so the idea of a Divine Beast lowering its head and serving a human was an unthinkable thing back then."

"However, the Immortal Monarch defied all logic and created history by becoming the first human to receive the Divine Beasts' support."

"As a result of this, the Immortal Monarch also became the most powerful Beast Tamer in the Nine Heavens. He was an untouchable figure that had many powerful Divine Beasts by his side."

After hearing this information about his bloodline, many things started making sense to Yuan.

The reason Feng Yuxiang and Lan Yingying found his blood delicious is most likely due to his bloodline that had many connections with Divine Beasts.

"If you don't mind me asking… May I have a drop of your blood for confirmation?" The Lord suddenly asked him.

"Sure." Yuan didn't refuse, as he wanted to see the Lord's reaction.

"W-What?! You're going to drink a human's blood?! That's insane!" The Manager suddenly shouted.

"Silence!" The Lord roared.

"If what he said is true, then he's not just any ordinary human! He's related to the Immortal Monarch, who had the support of the Nine Ancient Beasts! Do you have any idea what this means?!"

"What's the Nine Ancient Beasts?" Yuan asked out of curiosity.

"The Nine Ancient Beasts refers to the most powerful and ancient Divine Beasts in the Nine Heavens. They're said to be the first Divine Beasts to ever exist, so they're basically the ancestors of all Divine Beasts."

"I see… Anyway, here's my blood."

Yuan collected a single drop of his blood and gave it to the Lord.

The Lord's body visibly trembled afterward.

"T-This is…! This is, without doubt, the Immortal Monarch's Bloodline! Only the Immortal Monarch's Bloodline can taste unique to us Divine Beasts!" The Lord exclaimed.

"The blood of normal humans tastes like muddy water to us Divine Beast, but the Immortal Monarch is different. His blood tastes would taste more delicious than even the most delicious thing we have ever eaten, and that is exactly what your blood tasted like."

"Is that so…"

Yuan noticed the weird expression on the Manager's face and turned to look at her with a smile on his face.

"Liya, do you also want to taste my blood? I can tell that you're curious." He asked her.

"There's no way that I would want to taste the blood of a human! I don't care if you have the Immortal Monarch's Bloodline— I won't accept you— a human!" The Manager responded with gritted teeth.

Yuan raised his eyebrows and turned to ask the Lord, "Did something happen with her? Her hate for humans doesn't appear to be natural."

"M-Mind your own business!" The Manager shouted.

The Lord shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that I do not have the right to tell her story. If you truly wish to know, you must ask her."

"Don't even think about it! Because I won't tell you no matter what!" The Manager continued.

"Don't worry, I won't force you. You can tell me when you're ready." Yuan said with a smile.

'Damn, he's so irritating! Why does he have to make it sound like I am going to tell him in the future?! And he sounds so confident about it!' The Manager cried inwardly.

"I apologize for her, Young Master Yuan." The Lord said a moment later.

"Huh? What did you just call me?" Yuan doubted his hearing just now.
