Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix-Chapter 1020: Clear mind

Year 18,000: The Great Alliance - Faced with a common and formidable threat, representatives from different species forge a historic coalition known as the Great Alliance. Setting aside their differences, they unite their forces to repel the birth of massive beasts that wreak havoc in several areas of the world.

This alliance fosters new bonds and creates lasting partnerships, marking a turning point in the world's history.

Rain had to wait quite a while to see that happening, but it had been worth the hassle. Zeus hadn't been a pain in the ass and decided to show how those things came to be… In the end, the monsters didn't come from the world below… they were originally people from many parts of the world who banded together after being banished from their homes for one reason or the other.

Some were born with unique traits that made them targets of discrimination. One had an extra finger, another experienced slower brain development, and yet another had a deformed back.

Rain sighed at the sight of these individuals facing persecution for attributes beyond their control. In a world infused with mana, where issues during birth were exceedingly rare, the intolerance displayed toward those with differences was disheartening. Despite the advancements in the new planet, some aspects of human nature remained unchanged.

The discrimination and persecution faced by these individuals resonated with Rain, reminding him of the injustices that persisted throughout history. It was a stark reminder that, even in a world of magic and newfound alliances, the human tendency to fear and reject the unfamiliar persisted.

Eventually, these people got tired of being hunted by the others and then looked for ways to obtain power… Their solution was to use dragons' blood.

They managed to poison a few and decided to drink them afterward, but they weren't able to knock down the dragons completely, and they didn't obtain many results for quite a while… in the end, after drinking the blood of several types of dragons, they began to obtain the power that they wanted, but it came with a cost…

When they began to use those powers, the power of the corruption inside them soon began to lose control… absorbing the power of too many sins like that wasn't the best of the ideas, and soon they began to mutate and became giant beasts.

Still, even in that state, their hatred persisted… they began to march and destroy all the signs of civilization they found and began to feed some people with their power as well, transforming them and making them join their sides.

The giant monsters that emerged from the individuals who had consumed the corrupted dragon blood bore a striking resemblance to the first dragons. Their bodies were grotesquely deformed, and upon closer inspection, it was evident that they carried a mix of several types of energy within them thanks to the pulsating colors in their bodies...

The amalgamation of energies created a chaotic and unsettling appearance reminiscent of the first dragons that had once plagued the world.

The mutated beings retained humanoid features, but their forms were twisted and distorted. Horns protruded from misshapen skulls, and scales chaotically covered parts of their bodies. Some had elongated limbs ending in clawed appendages, while others sported wings with jagged edges that seemed to defy the laws of anatomy.

Rain couldn't help but see the similarities between these monstrous creations and the first dragons. The similarities were undeniable, prompting him to ponder whether the original dragons were once individuals with strong connections to the sins.

It raised questions about the origins of the ancient dragons and the possibility that they, too, were once people who succumbed to the corrupting influence of the sins.

From that point onward, Rain watched a bunch of stuff… at some point, he even stopped caring that much about those events. While it was interesting to learn about the past, after receiving so much information for so long, he ended up being overloaded by it…

Year 30,000: The Dragon Rebellion - Discontent within a faction of dragons, fueled by resentment over their subservient roles under the rule of the Lightning Emperor. The once-unquestioned order faces a fierce challenge as dragons rise against their established hierarchy. Turmoil engulfs the realms, and a charismatic dragon leader emerges from the rebellion of the dragon god.

Driven by a vision of establishing a dragon kingdom and reshaping the balance of power, this leader becomes the focal point of the Dragon Rebellion.

Year 35,500: The Beast Uprising - Long oppressed by the draconic kingdom and treated as lesser beings, the beast people reach a breaking point and rise up against their oppressors. Their demand for equal rights and recognition sparks a monumental movement that challenges the existing social order.

Year 40,000: The Prophecy of the Saviors - A prophetic vision spreads like wildfire among the realms, foretelling the imminent arrival of extraordinary individuals from each species. These chosen ones are destined to unite and save the world from an ancient evil that threatens to engulf everything. The prophecy inspires hope and sets a widespread search for these saviors in motion.

Rain didn't even pay much attention to those events… even though he saw the first dragon god emerge and the dragons being oppressed for quite a while, it was quite something fresh but boring at that point in time.

"I am satisfied with what I know about the past already… those guys became the foundation to the new species of the world, the human souls became the stepping stones for the new world, and the overseer created the world that we know today," Rain thought. "I need to focus on the future, but now… this all feels so…"

Rain felt burned out thanks to all the knowledge… he imagined that he would feel the same thing as Zeus, but he didn't feel anything like insane rage or fear. After learning about so many years of history, it felt like his existence was ridiculously small. Still, that also gave him a level of unexpected clarity…
