Chapter 488: Chapter 106 The Absolute Vicissitudes of History_1

This turn of events was truly sudden.

The Bug Clan Beamon had been almost wiped out a thousand years ago during the War of Gods and Demons. At present, the only surviving Mantis People of the Bug Clan are on the brink of extinction, with dwindling numbers. The sudden emergence of a surviving butterfly man of the Yufrey Bug Tribe was enough to drive anyone crazy.

Old Liu turned his head to look at O’Neal, the hippo Bard whose mouth was wide open in shock.

This indeed was beyond everyone’s imagination.

Ten thousand years ago, the term "Beamon" was just a noun describing a race, much like "Elves", "Dwarfs", or "Giants". The suffix "Orc", only came into use a thousand years ago because by that time the Beamon Kingdom was only left with orc Beamon.

In fact, many meticulous human scholars have raised doubts about the once glorious Beamon on the Aegean Continent. They expressed significant skepticism about the extinction of Bug Clan Beamon in history. The majority view was, considering the Bug Clan Beamon’s survival adaptability, there was absolutely no logical possibility of extinction.

The basis for these human scholars’ conjectures was simple: even after disasters like volcanic eruptions or tsunamis, there would still be small insects like ants appearing. How could the Bug Clan Beamon be entirely destroyed by a single brutal war?

Many scholars, after extensive verification, seriously concluded that the extinction of Bug Clan Beamon was entirely the consequence of internal slaughter by the beast clan Beamon, not extermination by the Demon Clan’s ethnic cleansing.

This conclusion has been one of the main reasons for human claims that Beamon are uncivilized beasts - a sentiment widely accepted.

If these scholars were to question Lord Richard’s sacrifice to Aegean, Old Liu’s response would surely be a slap in their faces - a certainty.

Just as orcs and animals are wholly different, Bug Clan Beamon and insects are two separate concepts. They are sentient humanoid creatures with their own intelligence and language; they simply possess certain characteristics representative of their tribe. After billions of years of evolution, the abilities of Bug Clan Beamon are similar to all other Beamon, including humans - likening them to insects is absurd. Moreover, Bug Beamon’s physique is one of the delicate ones among Beamon, as can be seen from the only remaining Mantis People.

The lifespans of Beamon and humans are equivalent, not exceeding a hundred years. This rule applies to almost all Beamon, including Birdman Beamon, Aquatic Beamon, Bug Beamon, and Orc Beamon. Even though individual differences exist, they are never too extreme.

Beamon are Beamon, a Wisdom Race with their own written and spoken languages and distinct lifestyles!

"Bugger~ Bugger~" The cussing parrot’s shouts pulled Old Liu back to reality.

"Gerein, tell me, why are our Bug Beamon depicted here!" Not only did Liu Zhenhan want to know, but everyone present wanted to know, even though the only real Beamon here was O’Neal.

"This is a long story." Seeing that the others didn’t want to fight, Tide Lord Gerein sighed a breath of relief: "Xu Dela and I have been imprisoned here for many years. Unable to keep track of time, we only recall being imprisoned in the year 484 of Xiang Pa. That year marked exactly a thousand years since the Mank Tribe Beamon had splintered from the Beamon Kingdom."

"Mank Tribe Beamon? Shouldn’t they be called humans now?" O’Neal chuckled. As an outstanding Beamon Bard, he knew this history well.

"It is the winter of year 115 in the Aegean calendar, which equates to the year 2115 in the Xiang Pa calendar." Liu Zhenhan sneered: "You and Xu Dela have been here for quite a while!"

From ancient times, the Aegean continent changed its era every two thousand years until humans began to control the Aegean continent. For the convenience of compiling history books, a new era unit of ten thousand years was established. The era before the Aegean calendar designated the ancient Aegean calendar; 115 years ago, the Ancient Calendar just completed ten thousand years, and the current Aegean Calendar marks the beginning of the new era.

Xu Dela and Gerein have been imprisoned for more than fifteen hundred years.

"Oh, life... I couldn’t help but reflect... it has been over a thousand years!" Tide Lord Gerein was also taken aback.

"Did you mean when you previously said that you battled against our Aquatic Race sacrifice, you were over five thousand years old?" Liu Zhenhan rolled his eyes.

"I don’t know, maybe I’m that old. The life expectancy of Gerein is four thousand years, I guess I exceeded the limit by being in a state of sleep for more than a thousand years?" The Tide Lord was somewhat triumphant.

"Would you believe me if I said I can grant you eternal sleep today?"

"Cough, cough... we were discussing another topic just now..." Gerein quickly pretended to cough twice, diverting from the sensitive subject: "A long, long time ago, Xu Dela and I were the two overlords of this sea area. We lived very comfortably. This island was our dwelling place. Like the huge dragons on the mainland who love to occupy a mountain, Gerein and Xu Dela also had our territories. The dragon race on your land likes to live in solitude, but the strong ones in the ocean prefer to unite, like shells clinging to coral reefs. We believe this makes us more powerful. There are multiple reasons why the Sea Clan retreated from the Aegean Continent during the era of the sea-land wars. Apart from the accidental death of the Storm Splitter mage who created the "Desolation Formation", Xu Dela and I also contributed to it. We took advantage of the Sea Clan’s army attacking the continent and wreaked havoc under the sea for a long time."
