Chapter 82: Chapter82-The Culprit Behind the Destruction of Humanity

For a moment,

many powerful races issued secret orders.

From now on, they would not easily offend the human race.

The era of humanity might once again rise because of this city!

“Sky Council, Judicator…”

Leo muttered to himself, a flicker of realization passing through his eyes.

It seemed that the history that Walter had reported, the one erased, was crucially tied to this.

He took a step forward, his figure blending into the void.

The next moment, a Time River, made of countless timelines and historical fragments, unfolded before him.

Any doubts he had—history would provide the answers!

Leo stepped directly into the Time River.

“Entry forbidden here!”

“Who are you to dare intrude into the Time River?!”

As soon as Leo entered, a voice, full of pressure and anger, suddenly rang out.

Immediately after, a terrifying aura, far surpassing Sanctuary rank, surged toward Leo like a tidal wave.

A figure materialized instantly in front of Leo.

“You… did you not hear me speak?”

The words trailed off as the person froze, staring at Leo.

Although Leo’s presence was restrained, the instinctive perception from the very fabric of time and space told him that this being before him was truly extraordinary!

“You… who are you?!”

The middle-aged man’s face was filled with shock.

How could such an existence be here?

“Are you also from the Time-Space Control Bureau?”

Leo asked calmly.

The middle-aged man’s heart trembled. He quickly bowed in respect.

“Time-Space Control Bureau steward, Douglas, greets the Supreme Being!”

“May I ask who you are?”

He was filled with confusion.

Such a powerful being shouldn’t exist in this universe.

Leo waved his hand.

“Who I am doesn’t matter. I’m here only to uncover a forgotten piece of history.”

Douglas’s face showed hesitation.

“Sir, the Time-Space Control Bureau has rules. The Time River is strictly forbidden…”

Before he could finish, Leo casually tossed him a Chrono-Spatial Crystal, glowing with the essence of time.

“Chrono-Spatial Crystal!!”

Douglas gasped, his hands trembling with excitement.

“What about the rules?”

“Ah!? Rules?”

“What rules! Please, feel free to proceed, may I guide you?”

Douglas’s attitude immediately became incredibly humble.

In the face of tremendous benefits, all principles and rules could be bent.

“Just don’t disturb me.”

“Yes, yes, of course!”

“Please, take your time. I will take my leave now!”

Douglas tightly grasped the Chrono-Spatial Crystal and disappeared into the Time River, his heart filled with ecstasy.

Deep within the Time River,

Leo’s will sank into the turbulent waters.

He was searching for the blank history of humanity’s rise and fall.

At his touch, the Time River trembled slightly.

Soon, the scenes he was searching for unfolded like a scroll—

In that time, the Sakend plane was far more prosperous and powerful than it is now.

God rank powerhouses were common, and civilization flourished.

Humanity was at its peak, enjoying an unprecedented golden age.

The three major forces ruled over all known domains, with countless races in submission!

These three forces were the Sky Council, the Church of the Divine Edict, and the Human Mage Tower!

Leo thought of Yelchin, kneeling outside the city gates.

As a Judicator of the Sky Council, in that era, he truly had the capital to look down on all others.

According to the historical fragments, the Sky Council possessed thirty-six powerful Judicators, and its chairman was a being who surpassed Sanctuary rank, a true supreme existence.

The Church of the Divine Edict and the Human Mage Tower had similar strengths.

With such a mighty human race, why did it suddenly vanish from history?

The answer gradually emerged as time flowed—

Inside an ancient starry sky temple,

three beings with enough power to shake the entire universe sat across from each other, their faces filled with solemnity and unwillingness.

“Is there really no other choice?”

“They will not give us any option other than submission.”

“Truly barbaric…”

These three were the highest archmage of the Human Mage Tower, the grand archbishop of the Church of the Divine Edict, and the chairman of the Sky Council.

The Sky Council chairman slowly stood, his voice resolute.

“Fleeing is not my choice. To beg would tarnish the glory of our human race!”

“Since there is no choice, then the Sky Council chooses to resist to the death!”

The other two leaders exchanged a glance, their eyes igniting with the same resolute fire.

“The glory of humanity will not be trampled!”

“Better to die than submit!”

That day,

the starry sky of the Sakend plane was torn asunder by a massive time-space rift that spanned the Starsea.

Countless terrifying beings, with power far beyond this world’s limits, surged in like a tidal wave of destruction.

The universe trembled, and the stars dimmed.

The galaxy shattered, and blood and flesh scattered across the starry sky.

That battle seemed destined, unavoidable.

In the end, humanity’s glorious civilization was completely destroyed, and the three great powers were almost entirely wiped out.

Only a few lucky survivors escaped, but they lost the courage and hope to rebuild their civilization.

Yelchin was one of them.

After the war,

the Sakend universe fell into a long period of silence and decline, with a terrifying fracture in its civilization.

It took many years for some surviving races to gradually recover, but they were far from their former glory.

As for humanity, it never rose again.

Because under this starry sky, no one was left to carry the banner of humanity’s revival, and with the long-term suppression of some alien forces,

humanity’s resurgence became a distant dream.

Before the Time River, Leo remained silent for a long time.

So this was the outcome…

From the time-space records, he learned the name of the destructive force that had wiped out humanity—Clawclash Empire!

Information about this empire was limited,

but he knew very well that since they had once destroyed humanity at its peak, they would certainly not ignore Dalton, which was now emerging with a human-led foundation.

Conflict was only a matter of time.

And the reason they had waged war was simply because humanity refused to bow!

Just because they didn’t want to kneel, they had recklessly launched a war that would destroy an entire era…

Such actions revealed just how tyrannical and unreasonable they were!

Soon,

Leo left the Time River and returned to the President’s residence hall.

With a casual wave,

the kneeling Yelchin outside the city gates was instantly moved by an invisible force into the hall.

Upon seeing Leo on the throne, Yelchin paused for a moment, then deeply lowered his head.

“Yelchin, greets President!”

At this moment, there was no trace of pride in his heart, only awe for absolute power.

Through the fragments of the Time River, Leo had also learned that after his defeat, Yelchin had exiled himself in despair.

He had sealed himself in a Sky Council relic, abandoning even the thought of revenge.

The enemy had been too strong, and even his invincible chairman had fallen.

He had originally thought he would end his life in such a way, until he sensed Leo’s existence.

The first time they communicated across space, he had shown some interest.

The second time, seeing the prosperity of Dalton, he had guessed that Leo’s power was considerable, but certainly not above his own as a former Judicator.

He had intended to warn Leo not to attract attention from those watching,

until Leo’s casual strike shattered his illusions and made him realize Leo’s true strength!

“Why have you returned to see me?”

Leo’s voice was calm.

Yelchin’s voice trembled with excitement.

“I humbly request to join Dalton!”

“I wish to follow you, and restore the glory of humanity!”
