Lord of the Truth

Chapter 744  Ambition and blood -2

The kingdom of humans, or the kingdom of monsters, as the masses of the Poison Rock races now called it, crushed all hostile armies and expanded their borders, but they did that steadily and slowly... In the end, the Serpent King did not bring them weapons, but rather he brought them cultivation and law techniques, methods for making weapons and equipment, and many other specialties that take time to master and exploit properly.

However, while they were busy developing and creating more warships, their army was wreaking havoc on land, sea, and air after a number of them broke into the Martial Emperorʼs Realm.

Meanwhile, the number of humans in the Human Kingdomʼs army was dwindling!

In the beginning, the invitations to go to the Imperial Palace increased. It was no longer just the senior officers who were invited, but basically, any soldier who used the laws. Many of the soldiers found that this was an opportunity to become stronger and defend their families better, so they went and accepted the transformation process... The details of the process were not announced even after more than ten thousand years, none of those who accepted the process have said a word.

But there were many soldiers who felt that something was wrong and refused to be transformed, and these were always put on the front lines and thrown into foolish formations and ended up dead... Little by little, humans no longer existed in the army, the entire army turned into Demi-humans. A number of human leaders tried to resist the change and reject what was happening and the demand to clarify the details of this *transformation* process, but they were arrested and killed, and not only them, but all the heads of large families, civil officials, or simply anyone who had influence over more than ten individuals has either been transferred or disappeared.

Now the *human kingdom* that controlled a quarter of the planet Poison Rock has become divided into two divisions; The first division is the demi-humans who suddenly came out of nowhere and took all power, those now are found in any position with some authority, and of course the entire army. The second division, however, is the farmers and workers, meaning the pure humans, and this *division* consists of more than 99% of the kingdomʼs population.

This division was not only in appearance and capabilities but also in treatment...

At first, people were happy with the development of their army. In the end, this army is made up of their fathers and sons and not a mercenary army coming from abroad. Even if their appearance changes, they are still members of their families! ...But they soon discovered the reality the hard way.

Transforming into Demi- humans not only changed their appearance but also their behavior. Their way of dealing with their families became, well... Like how snakes treat their families! A cold relationship, as if they did not know them at all, they treated their own with clear arrogance!

And all of this is on one hand, and the spread of news that the demi-humans ate the corpses of their enemies after the end of one of the battles was on the other... How should a person act when he learns that his son ate the corpse of his opponent?

Immediately afterward, rumors spread about the disappearance of a number of young girls and boys within the human kingdom, and later their torn remains were found in the alleys!

The feeling of danger, disgust, and the feeling of the loss of a loved one was the fuse that ignited a devastating revolution within the human kingdom.

In the end, the number of those who had been transformed up to that point was estimated at a few tens of thousands, while the human kingdom still had millions of pure human law users... The Serpent King Pythor found himself facing external war and internal strife.

His reaction was not to see the problem and try to fix it, but rather to order a halt to outer expansion and to send the army inside.

The army that was made up of demi-humans, the army that was made up of the sons and fathers and grandfathers of those who carried out the revolution did not even try to restrain themselves against their families. It is true that the numerical advantage was huge for the humans, but the difference in quality and the fact that there were emperors among the demi-humans gave them an overwhelming might... On that day, a real war broke out between the humans and their army, a massacre that turned the soil of the human kingdom red.

After completely crushing the revolution and killing hundreds of thousands of his people, the first decision taken by the Serpent King Pythor was to withdraw energy cultivation techniques from pure humans so that this strife would not be repeated again. He also issued a decision to ban them officially from joining the army and obtaining any high position, He also took away their right to own lands and businesses so as not to finance any subversive activities.

What will happen to agricultural lands, stores, etc.? It was distributed among the demi-humans.

If one of the demi-humans in the army has a family that owns anything, then everything the family owns becomes his property, and that same family becomes under his protection and supervision... Under this law, the human family can continue to work on that property, but everything will belong to the demi-human alone, and he is responsible for providing food for his family and controlling them if they do anything against the interest of the kingdom.

And these are the lucky ones. At least they stayed in their homes and worked on their property. They could also say, ”We are from so-and-soʼs family,” and they would be safe!

In comparison, families that did not have a demi-human among them had their property distributed randomly among demi-human strangers, and they themselves were randomly divided and distributed to work in the fields and mines with no one to be responsible for them, and without any law or anyone to give them any protection...

If the families that had a demi-human being are treated as household servants, then the families that do not have one have completely turned into slaves without any kind of rights!

Those decisions sent a strong shock to the entire planet... Humans became second and third-class citizens inside their own kingdom!

When everyone saw how crazy the Serpent King was, the entire planet united against him... But it was too late.

Strange phenomena began to appear on the battlefields, such as lightning suddenly striking the enemy generals or the ground quaking and swallowing armies. Natural phenomena, one after the other, brought terror into the hearts of everyone and further strengthened Pythorʼs authority, who claimed that the heavens supported his endeavor.

500 years... Thatʼs all Pythor needed to impose his control over the entire planet. All non-human races were exterminated without a baby being left behind. The planet Poison Rock had only humans left behind.

On that day, Pythor announced the establishment of the Great Serpent Planetary Empire, and made the first public offering to the Overlord through the Space Portal... The offering consisted of 4,000 energy pearls and a batch of ores that he had collected from all of the other kingdoms.

And everyone soon learned why their empire was called a Planetary Empire... After several days, King Pythor--- No, His Majesty the Planetary Emperor Pythor came out and announced that the Overlord had provided them with the coordinates of a new planet waiting to be explored, so the warships moved again, but this time upwards, toward the first and last planet the Overlord has given to the Great Serpent Empire... Towards what is now known as Planet F1.
