Abel tried to be as sensible as he could be, "Honestly, I don't know how long it has been since the era that you were in. It could have been several thousand years. It could be ten times that. I don't know, but during my search for the legendary 'practitioner's route,' I have not found a single trace of a living being."

Cain raised his voice with a strong hint of disappointment, "Not a single trace, you say? Not in the Rogue's Encampment?"

"Yes," Abel frowned for a bit, "It's been a long time since any humans lived there. It's been completely abandoned."

"NO!" Cain called out in pain, "My only reason to live is now gone! I have lived in this tree not because I wanted to, but because I needed to pass down our knowledge! Our civilization exists for our knowledge! Without anyone to inherit our knowledge, how can I keep living?"
