“I did not know; your master could do these things.”

Old Liu was astounded by what she heard and overjoyed that her master Sung Kang could do things she never imagined he could do. She became increasingly thirsty for the secrets that Record continued to discuss, while the floating books gleefully listened in.

{Surprisingly, Master could sing.}

“What? Have you heard or seen him sing before?”

{Hmmmmm. No, but we do recall him singing alone in his room.}

{Of course, without any facial expressions.}

"Why only to himself?" When was the last time he sang in front of a crowd, or perhaps to his parents?”

{Master sings beautifully like an angel!!!}

{But he didn't want to because it might make him look odd.}

“What? Is there anything strange about master?”

{He is unable to express any emotion.}

{His face is always indifferent, and his eyes are usually dead, plain and serious.}

{He was unable to express joy, sadness, or anger. He has always had the same appearance throughout his life.}

{Sighhh***. Pitying him could not help at all.}

{Continue with the secrets, Record.}

{Ah! Ok!}

{Master can also dance, and he’s very good at it!!!}

“I want to see him dance as well!!”

{He plays instruments too!!!}

{He’s a master of 20 instruments!!!}

“WOW!! That much!!? We can only play the flute in the Scraclau Tribe so it would be a nice change of pace to listen to your master playing a new instrument!!”

{If he wants to though.}

“Ah… I hope he can.”

“Umm… Record, how about your master’s…”

{What?}

“Love interests????”

{Yes, master did have one. Hihi}

{Huh?}

{What the f-

{HUH!?}

{HE HAS AN INTEREST… IN WOMEN???}

{Well, that’s news.}

{Why didn’t you tell us Record!!!}

{Umm, when me and master fused. There were some memories I could say, even if I would try to tell any of them something would forcefully make me stop, that’s why.}

{Do any of you know, what’s causing this?}

{Maybe 1st book, 2nd book, and 4th book senior can tell me what caused this?}

{Hmmmm… what do you think 4th book?}

{I don’t know, but if I had to guess, it might probably be…}

{It has to be Soul Chain.}

{Yes, that’s what I was thinking as well.}

“Soul Chain.”

{Liu Sun, do you know about Soul Chain?}

“I have heard of it, but I have never seen a Soul Chain happen in person.”

{Hmmm… Can you tell me who told you?}

“The elders in my tribe told me of this, about 30,000 years ago. When the tribe wars were still happening.”

“Something about people who can seal information to another vessel.”

“That’s all I know about it.”

{Ho… That’s surprising isn’t, 2nd book?}

{It certainly is.}

{30,000 years… Isn’t that where the bloody plains were made?}

{Yes. The Bloody Plains…}

“Bloody Plains?”

{30,000 years ago, when the Ming’s Forest were having territorial disputes between different species, the human realm was having a similar thing as well.}

“War.”

{A war, exactly.}

{The war that shook the entire Human Realm of Murim.}

{They called it the Bloody Plains.}

{Your tribe’s reason for war was just a simple territorial dispute, am I wrong?}

“No, it’s as you say.”

“The beast tribes were getting powerful every day, more and more those beasts were bored of the peace they sought to protect. The superior beast tribes wanted to expand, but were held back by the Holy beasts advising them to not be rash.”

“But the Bear tribe or the Osokrag, one of the superior beast tribes, did not listen but instead instigated a war between the Holy and Demonic beasts. They used Taboo techniques and pinned the blame on the Demonic beast tribes.”

{!!}

{How did they get those techniques to begin with anyway?}

{Somebody was probably helping them.}

“I don’t know, but I know for certain that ingenious yet simple instigation caused discord between the Holy and Demonic and made their relations worse than it already was. Until both sides waged an all-out war on each other.”

“A territorial dispute caused a massive outrage of war of all tribes.”

“The Demonic beasts, Holy beasts, and the lesser, and superior beast tribes waged war on one another.”

“Not all the demonic beasts acted like wild, berserk, blood-crazed animals though, they had an ecosystem. A complex infrastructure, they also had complex laws and farms to feed their people.”

“Until that day happened.”

“A war that the strong could only survive, and the weak could only perish and die.”

“The Great War of Tribes.”

“Our tribe’s people died a death worse than livestock.”

“The powerful bask in the glory and in their riches while the weak become weaker and poorer that they are forced to eat dirt.”

{How many died in your tribe in the war?}

“Millions of our people died, it was a bloodbath.”

{May the souls of your people rest.}

“Thank you.”

{This is the first time I’ve heard of this in great detail.}

{I feel the same as well, 1st book.}

"After the war, the elders of the surviving tribes gathered and decided to seal any and all war-related information deep underground in the Dragon Bone Cave. 1 billion kilometers underground, all of the species tribe's secrets and treasures are kept. Thieves and insurgents who attempt to steal the treasures or gather information about the war never returned."
