Chapter 17: The Beginning of the end
[Three years later]
After the interaction between Zen and Kome, the two started to know each other more.
The previous worker relationship turned into a friendship, with the two giving their full trust to strengthen the bond.
In fact, neither of them thought about stabbing the other in the back; they just raised their own guards against each other, fearing betrayal.
But now, after three years of meeting, the relationship between the peacocks and pandas was so close that they started exchanging resources and food.
Of course, every tribe had its own ego and wanted to prove that its art was the best in terms of power.
This led to occasional fights and friendly battles.
Kome and Zen, the two rulers of the holy forest, lost their passion for practicing and sharpening their powers.
Being the rulers made them lazy and uninspired towards any extra work.
They simply enjoyed the unlimited food and resources of the forest, spending their free time sleeping or enjoying their clan members.
Their studies indicated that the barriers separating them from their origin lands were going to fade sooner than ever.
In fact, the barriers started to become transparent, revealing glimpses of the outside world beyond their forest.
The plan was to directly attack the origin lands as soon as the barriers completely vanished.
They couldn't afford to give the enemy a chance to make the first move.
What they were not aware of was that birds were not even aware of their existence, let alone preparing for the first move.
Now, as the three-year period ended, the barrier had completely vanished.
An army of peacocks and pandas left the holy forest and set foot in the origin lands.
Zen was overjoyed.
His dreams were on the verge of realization after conquering the whole world and enslaving the creatures of the sky.
The army had no map or information about the origin lands; all they could do was follow the orders of their leaders.
Even Zen and Kome had no information about this destination; they just followed their intuition.
The atmosphere here wasn't much different from the Holy forest.
Kome was the wiser one between the leaders.
His mind was uneasy since he left the forest.
In the previous three years, he felt he lost his calm and smart self, acting more and more childish.
But as he enjoyed and profited from his time with women and food, he forgot about his magic and stopped caring about other problems.
Now, after leaving the forest, he started to think that making plans and acquiring information was better than following Zen's plan.
Suddenly, from above, a huge figure appeared, flying in the sky, covering the rays of the sun.
It was the first creature they met since their arrival in the origin lands.
He was a Northern Bloodline, but the pandas and peacocks still didn't recognize the structure of the world, so all they could do was admire this creature.
From afar, Zen admired the bird flying.
"Let me fight him," he declared.
Even after years of not fighting, he still held his previous fighting spirit when facing a powerful enemy.
Jumping towards the bird, Zen delivered a powerful punch, sending the bird reeling.
Without giving it any time to react, he unleashed a series of punches towards its head.
Each punch carried a powerful Qi, increasing the impact of the strike.
In no time, the majestic creature in their eyes turned into a ball of blood and meat under Zen's hands.
The whole pandas tribe was amazed by his performance.
They even started teasing the peacocks, saying their leader was more powerful.
This performance boosted the morale of the entire army.
If their leader could kill a bird so easily, then they could perform well too and even kill birds.
With this ego, the rampage of pandas and peacocks began.
Hundreds of birds fell under their hands.
The record for the most kills was in Zen's hands as he alone killed thirteen birds in three months.
As for Kome, he chose to study more about birds and understand their lifestyle and powers.
Now, the structure of the origin lands started to reveal more with the discovery of four races.
The next goal was to completely conquer the whole world.
This step could only be achieved by dominating the Central Cliff.
The army of the holy forest was now moving towards the central cliff, declaring the start of the first war in the world.
On the other hand, Gilgan received information about the new enemies.
Just as he was about to make the first move, another piece of information came about the army moving towards his home.
As for the will of tower, He already has a plan for the loser side...
He can't let their creature die before reaping more benefits from them...
