Free Web NovelChapter 313: Northern Continent’s Status
Everything about the legacy started when someone leaked the information to the whole councils of each world leader. The continents waged wars on each other without making any allies, with the winner becoming the Ambassador of Mortal Heaven and ruling over the entire Heaven, including the small islands, which were more powerful than the large continents.
Because of that drive: acquiring everything and ruling the Mortal Heaven, standing above others, the harmony in the Mortal Heaven was destroyed. And as the war began, lives were used as sacrifices for greater results, but where is it now? When the Great World War occurred, it was helpful since bandit groups and other dark sects joined the authority that was formed in each continent, but for what purpose? The martial arts and techniques of each continent degenerated along with the ancestors and predecessors of the new world leaders. The cause was lost. free𝑤ebnovel.com
The Emperor couldn’t help but be saddened as he remembered the events that he had witnessed when he was a child. He hadn’t experienced the Great World War, but he had held onto the hope of his ancestors, wanting their bloodline to be the rulers of the Mortal Heaven. He sighed as he looked at his son, who was half-kneeling before him in the hall room of the Emperor.
"I hope that you are not pressured with the responsibilities I am leaving to you, Crown Prince. If I become the Ambassador, then you will lead the Northern Heaven, but if I die before I become the Ambassador, you will succeed the family’s goal to have our bloodline rule the Mortal Heaven, which means that you will continue the legacy."
The Crown Prince stuck to his position, facing the ground, as he received the proclamation from his father. Although he was a son, he couldn’t act familiar to his father since there was no chance for them to be emotionally familiar. The Emperor treated his son as his successor rather than his son, but the Crown Prince had no complaints. He knew what his responsibilities were, and he couldn’t think of any idea of going against that order.
"Father, the Emperor, please don’t be worried about trivial things. As your son, the heir, I must stick to the order and the goal of our bloodline. This is my responsibility, and I will perform it properly."
The Emperor smiled as he stood up from his throne. "I am happy to hear that, my son."
As the wars because of the legacy began, the Northern Continent’s military strength was able to overpower the other continent’s forces. It could be said that they were winning; they almost took over some of the continent’s provinces and now own them. However, there was one event that turned everything. It made the efforts of the Northern Continent disappear as the previous winning pace started to become slower until they were unable to continue their invasion.
The Emperor sighed as he recalled everything that the records had about the Great World War. The Northern Continent also took all the records from the ancestors and world leaders of other continents, and what was left to them was the orally passed records of history, which made the other continents alive up to this day.
The records in the Treasure Hall of the Emperor had everything there was to know about the strength and weakness of the Northern Continent. It also had the records of why the invasions stopped, and as the Emperor prolonged it, hesitant to share it with the Crown Prince, he couldn’t help but be bothered by it. He was thirsty now to know it. Even on the surface, he was composed.
"The Northern Continent was winning... Our military strength was the strongest of all since the past and until now, but one thing occurred that made us stop the further invasion, and it is now bugging me, your Majesty."
"I can understand your worries since I am just hesitant to say such unreasonable things that happened in the past. When I discovered it on my own, I was baffled. That made me freeze, as it seemed I wasn’t able to register everything about it. The reason why the Northern Continent stopped was because of..."

The Western Continent was known for being good at spying. Because of their profundity in this field, they were able to infiltrate the Eastern Continent and the Southern Continent as well. For a reason, they failed to infiltrate the Northern Continent. They were still weak at killing their enemies, and the Northern Continent was already ahead of them in terms of normal soldiers, so their spies could be nothing to them.
Fighting capabilities were a must for a spy to have. But, the Northern Continent’s specialty was protecting themselves from the inside, which was a huge obstacle for a spy since it would easily track them and discover them. But despite that, they still tried to spy on the Northern Continent, after the other two continents.
However, they were fools for not realizing that it was already too late. By the time they spied on the Northern Continent, they were already planning to attack them. They knew that they should have watched over the Northern Continent since they had the power to continue the legacy that had been paused for a thousand years. They just learned everything they should have known when it was already too late since the plan to invade the Western Continent was perfect.
The Northern Continent planned to invade continents within a time span of a year after their public wage of war. And because of that, they were able to take the Western Continent by surprise. Unlike the Eastern Continent, which had nurtured strong people secretly, the Western Continent didn’t expect it.
"The Eastern Continent should have been captured first before us, but why are we now suffering instead of them?" A former superior spy complained to the sky as he felt the unpleasant wind that was clashing against his skin.
His face was dirty and his body seemed to have suffered from wounds, but only left uncleaned. It was all due to the suffering he got from the Northern Continent soldiers. And because of it, after two months straight of agony, he couldn’t help but question why they were weak against other continents, ignoring the strength of the Northern Continent as if they knew they couldn’t defeat them head-on. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
"The Eastern Continent doesn’t deserve surviving... they don’t deserve to win against the Northern Continent... they don’t deserve to survive..."
"Hey, that old man, has he still not snapped out of reality? He is still sulking." A Northern Continent soldier scoffed in his patrol, talking to another soldier of their continent.
"Yeah... since a month ago... he had been like that. And he has this obsession that he keeps on mumbling. Was it about the Eastern Continent?" The other soldier responded.
"Hahaha! Fool! He must have heard that we hadn’t succeeded in taking the Eastern Continent yet, but why has he been obsessed with the Eastern Continent? We were the ones who captured them."
"He probably loathed the idea that they survived in the meantime. What a bitter person... He must have known the strength of our continent, which is why he couldn’t put the hate on us since he knew they would still be defeated."
"Right. Instead, he wanted everyone to be down just like him. No one will be above him... everyone must face the same fate as him. Hahaha!"
The soldiers couldn’t help but laugh at the status of the former superior spy. In the middle of this black wasteland, where they could only dig for some scraps and the Western Continent people were used as laborers, the former superior spy faced despair as he recalled the plan of the continent to have some advantage against the Northern Continent.
They were sure that the Northern Continent would divide their force to invade the Eastern Continent, and computed that it would last for months until they succeeded. By that time, they should invade the Southern Continent to prepare for the Northern Continent and invade the Southern Continent within just a week to establish their power before the North captures the East. However, not expecting it, they were taken aback as the East succeeded in making the North retreat and had their eyes on them after that failed invasion.
Because of everything that happened in the East, the plans of the Northern Continent changed as well as theirs, leaving them confused about what to do as it was the only key they had to win the legacy. However, it seemed that the East still had the power, and they were targeted by the North instead. For that reason, some Western Continent people loathed the Eastern Continent for the luck they had, destroying the plans they had prepared for years.
Everything about spying on their enemies was just to win the legacy and survive the atrocities Northern Continent could bring to them. But, it turned out that everything was in vain, for the Eastern Continent was able to recover their previous power.
