Several days later,
Sophia returned to the islands once more. She would continue her role as the governor of the archipelago, overseeing the relocation of the Winged and the development of the island’s lands.
Meanwhile, Jano returned to Mount Celestia to focus on studying the Law of Light.
In the year 751 of the Goblin Empire,
The High Priest of the Goblin Empire, Mozel, mysteriously died upon achieving demigod rank.
Soon after, the Duke of the Western Territories, Raul Mozel, raised an army in rebellion, only to be crushed.
The Mozel family was wiped out, and not a single member remained.
The priestly family, which had co-founded the empire alongside Amigul, vanished from history!
At that time, the emperor of the Goblin Empire, Frey Amigul, sent his seventh son, End Amigul, to take the position of the new Duke of the Western Territories.
Upon arriving in the territory, End seized all the power of the former Mozel family.
He was, in fact, the son of Mozel’s empress and Emperor Frey Amigul.
In the year 878 of the Goblin Empire,
The fourth emperor of the Goblin Empire, Frey Amigul, passed away, having never attained the Legendary rank.
His fifth son, Guna Amigul, succeeded him as the fifth emperor.
In the year 901 of the Goblin Empire,
The number of Winged on the Sophia Archipelago reached three hundred thousand, with the total population of the Winged tribe growing to four million.
However, the path beyond demigod status had yet to be breached by anyone.

Sophia and Eryta decided to pursue the path of Mortal Legends!
To solidify their foundation and achieve immortality!
In the year 955 of the Goblin Empire,
An alchemist named Emerson caused a disastrous experiment in the southern Goblin city of Black Forest, resulting in the near destruction of the entire city.
However, at night, the bodies of Goblins occasionally rose from the dead!
This was the first occurrence of necromancy on the continent, known as the "First Undead Incident."
Later, the Goblin Empire’s adventurer legion sealed the area and eventually set it aflame, burning it to the ground.
In the year 998 of the Goblin Empire,
The first Lionheart King, Reinhardt, passed away in the region of Bolake.
He didn't manage to transcend to the Legendary rank and achieve demigod rank.
His great-grandson, Vega Reinhardt, succeeded him as the leader of the human race and the Earl of Bolake.
Before Reinhardt’s death,
Jano, sensing something, traveled to Bolake to pay his last respects.
For the first time, Jano felt the profound loneliness that came with immortality, having lost his only son.
In accordance with his request, Reinhardt was buried beside Fiona.
The gravestone read: "Second generation human leader, Reinhardt, the king who laid the foundation for the human race."
Jano stood by the osmanthus tree for three days before leaving.
In the year 1003 of the Goblin Empire,
In the far northwestern region of the empire,
The most formidable enemy the Goblin Empire had faced since its founding appeared!
And the opportunity Jano had been waiting for also arrived.
In January of the year 1003,
The Bimons Tribe, living in the icy highlands, descended under the leadership of their chief, Amond.
They claimed to be answering the call of the Blood Queen to wage war in the south.
The Bimons Tribe swiftly conquered the Northern Desert, subduing numerous tribes such as the Centaur, Troll, Goblin, Pigmen, and Bull-headed clans as they swept through the land.
Six months later,
Amond had pacified the Northern Desert and consolidated the armies of the various tribes. He then amassed a force of one hundred thousand troops and marched south from the northeastern border of the Goblin Empire, attacking without warning!
Countless border nobles were wiped out, and the large city of Mugas in the northeastern region was captured. The entire north-east of the empire was in panic!
At this moment,
Emperor Guna Amigul dispatched the Imperial Guard and the Order of Knight Adventurers to march south, summoning nobles and foreign warriors to mobilize.
The news reached Mount Celestia and The White Bastion on the East Coast.
Jano also sent a legion of Winged warriors to fight.
On October 3rd,
The Bimons army assembled near the southern city of Eddes, the last major city linking the northeastern and central regions of the empire.
As all eyes in the continent focused on this grand battle between the empire and its invaders,
An unexpected event occurred.
The imperial capital of the Goblin Empire, Proadas, faced its greatest crisis since its founding.
