I'm a villain, not a devil

"He once led troops into other worlds!"

Hearing Bai Youming's words, Sean's pupils suddenly shrank, but then he smiled without changing his expression, "Attacking another world? Is it that outrageous... The empire has only had a history of so many years. If the first founding emperor was so awesome, how could anyone not know about it?"

Bai Youming turned his head and noticed something strange about Sean, but to him, it was normal for Sean to know more secrets.

"You know a lot, kid, but you still don't think enough - as everyone knows, this is the wasteland era after the apocalypse, and the Bai family has risen from it and slowly built an empire." Bai Youming stood up with some emotion and pride on his face.

Sean just pursed his lips. The way the Bai family started out was not very glorious, although this world is indeed more suitable for dishonorable people to live in.

Bai Youming continued, "Have you ever thought about how the Bai family was able to quickly gain a foothold and win over the hearts of the people after experiencing the apocalypse?"

Sean laughed dryly: "Godfather, you should know better than me how the Bai family got started."

Bai Youming smiled and said, "I know what you are talking about, the World Tree, right?"

Sean spread his hands. Bai Youming is now Deep Blue, so it is normal for him to unearth the secret of the World Tree.

However, Bai Youming just looked up at the sky calmly, with a hint of emotion in his eyes: "The way the Bai family started was indeed not glorious, but what I want to talk about is not what happened at that time, but what happened before that."

Sean said thoughtfully: "It's still the Bai family. You want to say that before the end of the world, that is, during the era of rapid development of human technology, the Bai family was already a behemoth, right? This is normal. Big forces can have more people survive, and these people can use the resources in their hands to quickly complete the early accumulation of power."

Bai Youming smiled and said, "You are not stupid, but the Bai family is older and more powerful than you think. Most people think that the current wasteland era is the second era of mankind, but what if I tell you... this is the fourth era of mankind, and the Bai family has existed since the first era?"

Sean's eyes flashed with surprise, and he frowned instinctively: "Impossible, the era before the apocalypse was the most technologically advanced era. If there were two eras before it, they would naturally be able to dig out the past history, and this history would also be recorded. By the time we reach the wasteland era, we have too many ways to find those historical records."

"That's true in theory, but you didn't consider one thing--" Bai Youming picked up a stone and threw it towards the sea level. He used his special powers, and the stone stirred up large waves and flew straight into the distance, disappearing from the sight of the two after a while.

Bai Youming turned his head and looked at Sean, his eyes calm: "This world is more than just our continent."

Sean was suddenly stunned, and then he reacted.

Yes, in addition to this continent, there is another continent on the other side of the Violent Sea. That is the area of ​​the tree people. There may even be more than just tree people there, there may be other races as well.

"That's not right—" Sean frowned, noticing another anomaly. "When the tree people attacked, they all shouted to return to the fertile land. We are the evil thieves who stole the fertile land. From what they said, the other side of the sea seems more like a newly reclaimed land."

Bai Youming sat back on the reef and looked at the sea level: "That's why I said that this world has actually gone through three eras."

His voice gradually became distant and ethereal.

"I collect all kinds of secret histories, and I entered the etheric layer during my promotion to Deep Blue. The secrets of the etheric layer are difficult to describe, and I have experienced countless dangers in it, but I have also grasped something from it."

"The First Era is called the Natural Era, and at that time, the Tree People were the main race in this world - no, to be precise, the main race in this continent. At that time, humans were the alien race and the weaker one."

Sean's pupils suddenly narrowed, and he suddenly thought of something.

Bai Youming continued, "The natural generation lasted a long time, but the tree people seemed to have no talent for technological development, and the whole world has always remained relatively primitive - but even so, the end of the world has come."

Noticing Sean's look, he sighed, "I know what you're thinking. Yes, before the doomsday we know, a whole generation was destroyed by the doomsday."

"When the end of the world came, the tree people could not resist, so they turned their sights to the other side of the sea. In the end, most of the races on this land were extinct. A few lucky ones crossed the dangerous and violent sea and started to survive and evolve again on another continent."

"This is also the era with the least records, the Second Era, also known as the Age of Mist."

"At the end of the First Era, among the humans who crossed the Raging Sea with the Tree People, there was the Bai Family, which had already begun to grow in size. And that wooden sign is said to be the magical item that the Bai Family brought from the First Era to another continent. It was also during that era that humans began to develop magnificently."

Bai Youming turned his head to look at Sean, revealing a slightly emotional smile: "I don't know exactly what happened, but the secret history I unearthed told me that the first name on the wooden sign was the person who led troops into other worlds."

Sean pondered and said, "Is there something magical on the other side of the sea?"

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Bai Youming shook his head: "Not sure."

Sean asked suspiciously again, "Isn't this a classic routine? The past was the era of great energy explosions. At that time, the strong were as vast as clouds and smoke. Just throwing a stone could hit a lot of deep red and deep blue."

Bai Youming laughed and shook his head: "You are wrong. On the contrary, even the tree people standing on the main stage in the Natural Generation are mostly ordinary people - haha, just like the literal meaning, even the tree people, a seemingly strange race, are no different from ordinary people today."

"Nowadays, the vetoers and the weak are indeed not the majority of people, but there is at least one lucky person who awakens his superpowers among ten people. This ratio is much higher than in previous eras. In the natural era, it is normal for only one case to appear among 100,000 people."

“But I have heard that although the strong people at that time were extremely rare, it was much easier for them to advance than it is now. In fact, in the Natural Era, there were rare strong people who broke through without any obstacles and finally touched the legendary godhood.”

Godhead… Sean narrowed his eyes slightly.
