26: The Golden and Silver Dynasties, the Glorious Age of Exploration, and the chilling truth.

The sounds of battle raged, from day into night. As darkness fell, the Orc army could only rely on faint torchlight, making it difficult to sustain high-intensity combat.

The 'Thermal Sensing' talent activated!

The Xenomorphs awakened their Thermal Sensing talent, doubling their threat in the darkness. Whizzing and swooping like ghostly shadows, the Lurkers, a special branch of the three, merged completely into the night, silently harvesting Orc lives.

One, two, three... Soon, as the number of dead Orcs reached hundreds and thousands, Emperor Caesar finally realized the danger.

He roared, 'Light the bonfires!'

Crackling and popping... Blazing bonfires were instantly lit, and light descended. The Lurkers had nowhere to hide. Except for a few quick-reacting Lurkers who managed to change their skin to match their surroundings and barely escape, the rest were instantly covered by a volley of arrows from the Orc army, suffering heavy casualties!

After this battle, the Lurkers suffered significant losses, but Emperor Caesar also recognized the danger of the Xenomorphs. He dared not entertain any more lucky, focusing all his attention. His peak Bronze strength allowed him to disregard the Xenomorph threat.

Time passed minute by minute. This was an invisible standoff, and a psychological test for both races.

The Orc army, commanded by Emperor Caesar, managed to maintain its basic formation despite the widespread panic. The Xenomorphs, on the other hand, had become headless chickens after losing their Xenomorph Queen.

Under the control of their innate bloodlust, they finally couldn't hold back. A hundred Blood Bursters suddenly lunged from the cave, completing their self-detonation mid-air!

With a 'bang'.

Highly corrosive venom permeated every Orc soldier. Anyone touched immediately let out a scream, followed by a horrified realization as their flesh melted, the areas covered by the venom turning into a pool of blood!

In this single wave of attack, the Orc army lost over a hundred soldiers!

This wasn't the end. The next moment, the Strikers, who had been waiting for their opportunity, finally found it and swarmed out. A total of one hundred and eighty-seven Strikers, with explosive air jetting from their backs, left virtual afterimages as they moved at high speed, coldly harvesting every Orc soldier!

Emperor Caesar roared, but it was useless. Lurkers and Blood Bursters also swarmed out at this time. The Xenomorph race completely obeyed its innate bloodlust; everything was for slaughter!

A tragedy unfolded.

This army, which had gathered nearly two-thirds of the entire Orc Dynasty's national strength, was decimated in an instant. Emperor Caesar was enraged beyond measure. Disregarding the consequences, he activated the flame totem on his skin with all his might!

In an instant, flames soared into the sky!

A majestic lion, bathed in flames, let out a world-shaking roar!

Wherever it passed, whether Orc soldiers or Xenomorphs, all were reduced to charcoal!

This was a mutually destructive tactic. Emperor Caesar used this forbidden method to successfully annihilate the Xenomorph race. Subsequent Orc armies continuously arrived from the country.

It took a full half-month, almost thoroughly searching every nearby grotto and cave!

Only then was the Xenomorph race completely wiped out. But just as Emperor Caesar thought everything was safe, he discovered traces left by the Xenomorph Queen in a grotto!

He feared the Xenomorphs would reappear and spent his entire life searching for the Xenomorph Queen's hiding place.

Finally, on his deathbed, he successfully found the Xenomorph Queen's hidden location. However, he had no soldiers following him, and the two fought a great battle along the coast.

Because of releasing the forbidden technique in his youth, Emperor Caesar's strength was greatly diminished.

Ultimately, he was killed by the Xenomorph Queen.

And the Xenomorph Queen, having devoured Emperor Caesar, keenly perceived that her intelligence seemed to have grown slightly, her physique had become stronger, and her entire appearance began to evolve towards that of a human!

"Heart of Slaughter is starting to work."

Su Bai guessed the reason.

It seemed the Xenomorph Queen wasn't unaffected by the talent; rather, she needed to devour stronger opponents or a larger number of lives to evolve to a higher level.

"But this is exactly what I want," Su Bai thought, a smile appearing on his face. "The last Xenomorph Queen in the Origin Realm versus the Orc Dynasty at its peak."

"Who will win this showdown?"

"I can't wait."

The simulator continued, and black text kept appearing:

The Xenomorph Queen was unable to digest the massive energy and could only enter a state of slumber. During the Xenomorph Queen's slumber, the Orc Dynasty also settled down after Emperor Caesar's death.

A new Emperor Caesar ascended the throne. After completely eradicating the Xenomorph race, the Orc Dynasty had no rivals.

In this era, they began to develop extensively.

And they expanded their reach to every inch of land; the presence of Orcs could be found everywhere.

A glorious era arrived. The Orc Dynasty developed to its peak, historically known as the 'Golden Dynasty!'

But glory does not last long. After three hundred years of prosperity, the Golden Dynasty began to rapidly decline. Subsequently, resources began to deplete, and the pace of civilization's development greatly slowed...

However, the royal family continued to live luxuriously. Ultimately, under the surging public opinion, they were all killed, and a new dynasty was established, historically known as the 'Silver Dynasty'!

The ruler of the Silver Dynasty found records of the Xenomorph Queen in the historical books of the Golden Dynasty. He paid no attention, treating it merely as a mythical story.

At the same time, due to the depletion of resources on the Orc island, the Silver Dynasty quickly fell into decline. After much deliberation, the grand Age of Exploration finally arrived!

This was a glorious era, and also a brilliant era.

The Silver Dynasty seemed to have returned to the glory of ancient times, with vast territories and abundant resources. The expansive sea was filled with the fleets belonging to the Silver Dynasty, like dark clouds, dominating the entire era!

In the late Second Era, the Silver Dynasty established maritime hegemony and even observed two brand new continents existing on a distant shore. Driven by fate, a unique Orc named 'Columbus' was born among them.

He applied for a long-distance fleet and was the first to begin exploring the end of the sea.

The entire nation waited with anticipation for Columbus's return, but in the end, only a few dilapidated warships barely escaped back. They were greatly shocked, terrified beyond measure, claiming that a terrifying civilization existed on the other side of the sea!

The Biochemical Civilization was exposed to the Silver Dynasty's view for the first time.

A new historical node appeared, creation points + 100

Those in power were terrified, especially after learning about the existence of the Lord of Splendor, Alice, the Holy Terra Sect... They were utterly panic-stricken and rushed into the library.

Finally, in a long-sealed ancient scroll, they found records about Sacred Terra.

According to the ancient scroll, their former god was killed by Sacred Terra!

And the ruler of that mysterious civilization was the sinner who personally killed a god, the Lord of Splendor!

They had never left.

At the same same moment, deep beneath a certain sea, the Xenomorph Queen, who had been slumbering for an entire era, gradually began to awaken from her deep sleep...
