Chapter 451 -Backstory

Swoosh! 

Suddenly, Dave opened his eyes and smiled as he sensed billions of luck energy strands within his body. 

This amount was sufficient to be summoned by an exceptionally lucky person. 

He could go directly to the portal, defeat the overlord, and wait for a summoner, but Aby had advised him to be summoned by someone with great luck, assuring him of greater benefits. 

Though Aby hadn't provided specific details, he trusted her, so he was keen on accumulating more luck energy strands.

"Now that you've paid me, wait for my news later," 

Dave said with a smile. He planned to launch his attack later, so Fu suggested taking him to his room to rest. 

However, Dave declined and had some questions.

"By the way, how did you accidentally enter this place? And how long have you all been here?" he inquired.

Fu and the other guardian exchanged glances, wearing bitter smiles. 

Hilda explained, seeing the others were silent.

"To be honest, we used to live in the Flaming Sun Empire in the Celestial Plane, where the five of us served as generals. 

There are ten Emperors in the Human Alliance, and the emperor of the Flaming Sun Empire, known as the Flaming Emperor, had mastered the Law of Fire to perfection. Although humans are considered a lower-level race, we're known for our rapid reproduction and adaptability in various situations. 

The Gods occasionally favor our human race, seeking promising individuals who could become heroes. 

Three humans had successfully become heroes, surpassing even the Divine Monarchs, but one of them met his end at the hands of the demon 'Assassin King,' and another strayed from the right path.

The third hero remained mysterious, seemingly indifferent to our human race. The one who strayed was called the Celestial Slayer, the previous Sword Hero and a disciple of the Sword Goddess. 

He began slaughtering powerful individuals, including top races like the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, Demon Clan, and even the God Clan. 

His actions led to a violent conflict in the Celestial Plane, with him killing thousands of formidable beings. Other Powerhouses intervened and managed to suppress him, though he escaped severely wounded."

The injuries were severe enough to potentially cripple the Celestial Slayer, and no one knew his current whereabouts, with many believing he might be dead. 

Following this incident, the human race was subjected to revenge attacks by other races. 

Although they didn't attempt human extinction, humans were suppressed due to their fear of another "Celestial Slayer" emerging within their race.

He became the most hated human in the human race's history.

All the emperors in the human alliance were on the verge of breaking through the barrier of their human bloodline, nearing the level of transcendental beings. 

However, further progress was impossible due to the continued suppression by races in enmity with the human alliance. This suppression left the human race vulnerable to bullying.

The reason for this suppression was the fear that another "Celestial Slayer" might be born within the human race.

 Later, the Flaming Emperor had a chance to break through and sought help from other emperors to protect him during his breakthrough. 

His development brought joy to them, as having a Transcendent being would help the clan rise again. However, news of this reached the Demon Clan.

The Demon King of Wrath held a grudge against the Celestial Slayer, and he secretly sent a demon army to destroy the Flaming Sun Empire, which was powerless against such a formidable force. 

The other emperors, taken by surprise, protected the Flaming Emperor, but the Metal Emperor betrayed the human alliance and allied with the Demon King of Wrath in exchange for freedom from suppression and a chance to become a demon lord.

He is also the one who deliberately spreads the news to the demon king.

Enraged, the Flaming Emperor chose to sacrifice his remaining essence and energy to evacuate the survivors and instructed them to continue the human lineage. 

While other emperors were furious about the Metal Emperor's betrayal, they gave their all to eliminate the other demons before leading their empires to hide within their domains, as continuing the battle against such powerful demons would have been suicide.

The Flaming Sun Empire fell to the demons, and the survivors were transported to their current location."

Hilda paused in her narrative, seeing Dave's amazement. He hadn't expected such a story, and he wondered what had become of the Celestial Slayer.

"Then?" Dave asked, wanting to know more, and Hilda continued.

"An accident occurred when we were being transported by the emperor, and we were sucked into a black hole. Thanks to the emperor's protection, we survived and found ourselves in this place. We believed it to be safe due to the positive energy in this place, and their emperor's final words were to reunite with other humans if possible and to protect those with them.

"But we didn't expect that this place would be like hell. We were targeted by numerous creatures and lost many of our fellow clansmen,"

 Hilda said with a sigh, and the others wore heavy expressions as they recalled their struggles.

"We've been in this place for 100,000 years, and as Divine Monarchs, we're nearing the end of our lifespans. We've been deeply concerned for the safety of our subjects. We never anticipated that you would arrive at such a perfect time," Hilda explained.

Dave nodded, understanding that Divine Monarchs could only live for 150,000 years, and most of the five guardians had only thousands of years left, while Fu had a mere 50 years.

"So, do you plan to rebuild your Flaming Sun Empire when you return, or do you have something else in mind?" Dave inquired.

Fu looked at Dave and replied, "We've already discussed this matter, and we've decided to find a suitable planet to live a peaceful life, recover, build our strength in secret, and then reunite with other human empires. Hopefully, they will assist us."

Dave had learned much from their story and didn't expect the pitiable situation of the human race in the Celestial Plane.
