The battle near the Sea of ​​Despair became a taboo subject for everyone afterward, and no one actively sought to find out what exactly happened at that point in time.

Five years later, the Tia Empire royal family, having returned from the waters near the Sea of ​​Despair, launched an attack on the First Empire's legions that were still putting up a stubborn resistance, riding high on their great victory.

When the colossal golden god that seemed to reach the heavens appeared and filled the vision of countless legionary soldiers, the First Empire's legion, which had been resisting, collapsed instantly.

Only then did the First Empire's high command realize that they could no longer conceal the truth, and finally let all the unsuspecting frontline soldiers know that their empire's top combat force had long been wiped out by the enemy.

In this situation, without a battle between equally matched, strongest forces, the lower-ranking legions have no chance of winning no matter how hard they fight.

Therefore, even though the high-ranking officials of the First Empire still issued orders for the legions to attack, the legions at the front chose to ignore the orders after receiving them.

After all, the original legionary warriors fought so hard because they always held onto the belief that the highest levels of the empire would not give up.

But as it turns out, the empire's top fighting force had already been eliminated, and the imperial high command who were directing the battlefield treated them as cannon fodder who knew nothing.

They certainly didn't want to continue fighting.

The army was defeated like a mountain.

The Tia Empire didn't need to do much; simply as the legions moved forward, the soldiers of the First Empire chose to surrender.

Seeing that the tide had turned against them, the high-ranking officials and nobles of the First Empire, who had originally wanted to struggle, lost the confidence to continue their resistance.

They voluntarily surrendered the city and submitted to the Tia Empire's royal family a map of the First Empire, as well as all the important intelligence about the Empire that they could find.

In response, the Tia Empire's royal family did not personally enter the territory of the First Empire to take over everything; instead, they dispatched high-ranking officials of the empire to consolidate control.

It is worth mentioning that no one noticed anything unusual about the Tia Empire's royal family from beginning to end.

Only two golden giants reigned supreme on the front lines of the battlefield, forcing the First Empire's legions to surrender: the Second Prince of the Empire and another newcomer.

The Emperor of the Tia Empire and the eldest prince, who was most recognized by the empire, did not appear. Everyone assumed that the Emperor of the Tia Empire felt that the situation was already settled and that there was no need to use so much power for the rest, so he chose to send only two golden giants.

For the next century or so, the Tia Empire, as the ultimate victor in the struggle for supremacy on the continent of Frantis, reveled in its glory.

They first spent decades taking over the territories of the other two great empires, during which time they also dispatched legions to suppress local rebellions on several occasions.

The rebellions instigated by die-hard elements within the two empires did not have much impact simply because there was no top-tier combat power at the level of a Grand Magister.

With the absolute military support of the Tia Empire, the process of taking over the territories of the other two great empires went very smoothly.

After the territories of the two great empires were brought under their control, the territory of the Tia Empire expanded unprecedentedly, occupying almost one-fifth of the entire continent of Frantis.

The reason there is only such a small proportion is, of course, because these are the only truly habitable areas on the continent of Frantis.

The remaining areas, while not entirely deserted, are only accessible to warriors or mages with extraordinary abilities.

In theory, these places, which do not have many inhabitants, are not considered part of the Tia Empire's territory by the royal family.

However, since there are no other major powers on the continent besides the Tia Empire, those unrecognized regions are, in a practical sense, also part of the Tia Empire.

Decades later, even after taking over the territory, the Tia Empire still had not completely sorted out its entire territory.

Firstly, the territory of the unified Tia Empire was so vast that the number of administrative personnel within the empire was severely insufficient.

Secondly, the unification process was too short, and the original inhabitants of the newly acquired territories had very low acceptance of the Tia Empire, leading to frequent small-scale disturbances and even rebellions in some areas.

In addition, there are differences in customs, standards, and laws between different countries, so it is already quite remarkable that we have the current situation.

More than a hundred years later, the Tia Empire finally achieved initial control in all aspects, integrating the previously discordant territories.

But at this joyous juncture, a momentous event shook the entire Tia Empire.

Hollen Tia... has fallen!

Without any warning, the emperor who led the empire to unprecedented glory passed away on an inconspicuous day.

The Tia Empire royal family immediately tried to cover up the news, but no one knows who leaked it.

Suddenly, the winds of change were blowing and undercurrents were surging!

Fortunately, the Tia Empire was not one of those treacherous mortal kingdoms. The Tia Empire royal family, which possessed absolute military power, was not worried about any unexpected events.

The only thing to consider is who will succeed Hollen Tia as emperor after his death.

Originally, this decision was not difficult to make. The eldest prince was the most popular prince in the entire empire and also the son that Hollen Tia valued the most.

Regardless of factors such as the principle of primogeniture and the eldest son being chosen as heir, the eldest prince is the most qualified successor.

Unfortunately, the eldest prince has never appeared since the war that took place in the Sea of ​​Despair.

Everyone knew that the eldest prince must have met with an accident during that war, and most likely he perished in it.

The sudden demise of Hollen Tia may also be related to that war, perhaps leaving behind some incurable hidden injury, which is why he suddenly perished in the prime of his life.

In this way, since the emperor has not personally designated the next successor, the only ones most qualified to inherit the throne are the two princes who can condense the golden giant god.

The Second Prince and the Seventh Prince!

With the emperor and the eldest prince deceased, the second prince naturally became the first in line to the throne, and becoming emperor should be a foregone conclusion.

Unfortunately, the Seventh Prince, who rose to prominence unexpectedly in that war, stood out so much that he attracted a large number of magicians to follow him, giving him the power to confront the Second Prince at this critical juncture.

The struggle for the imperial throne has always been brutal.

Faced with that supreme status and the emperor's hidden benefits in cultivation, neither prince was prepared to back down.

And so, the empire's civil war began.

This imperial civil war did not last long, and the outcome was decided in 50 years.

As expected, the final victor will be the second prince, who has the advantage in all aspects.

The civil war did not have a wide impact; it was mostly a series of struggles within the framework of imperial rules, and instances of actual use of brutal force were rare.

After the victory in the civil war, the seventh prince did not fall after his failure to seize power. Instead, he was granted the title of "Prince of the First Rank" by the second prince after he ascended the throne.

It seems like a happy ending for everyone.

Meanwhile, during the internal strife within the imperial court, a series of long-planned rebellions also broke out within the territory of the Tia Empire.

In just 50 years, the empire’s newly stabilized territory has shown signs of fragmentation again, especially the territories of the other two great empires.

Fortunately, the civil war ended quickly, and the newly enthroned second prince immediately dispatched a sufficiently powerful force to various regions to quell the rebellions.

This farce has thus come to an end.

Time flew by, and the Tia Empire, now completely stable, developed rapidly like a wild horse.

Over 800 years, the entire empire had become an unimaginable behemoth, and no force could threaten them anymore.

At the same time, the magical tide also reached its peak at this point in time.

At this stage, magicians can more easily perceive the magic power in the world, and their minds can more easily control the magic power around them.

Under these perfect conditions, the Tia Empire once again produced more than one Archmage, and even members of the royal family once again condensed a Golden Colossus.

The extremely active magical tides gave the archmages almost the power to touch demigods, and further destabilized their mental states.

Under these dual conditions, undercurrents began to stir beneath the calm surface of the empire.

Even though the lifespan of extraordinary beings in the world of Frantis is relatively shorter, more than 800 years is still not a long time for a Grand Magister.

Both the second prince and the seventh prince were at the peak of their lives.

After more than 800 years of preparation, the seventh prince, who was already resentful of his previous failure, finally chose to launch a rebellion.

Those who joined him in the rebellion and supported his ascension to the throne included two other archmages who had only recently broken through to the next level.

In addition, the Seventh Prince has been secretly cultivating a considerable force over the years, intending to use it as the foundation for a rebellion at this juncture.

The Second Prince was no pushover either. The reason he didn't kill the Seventh Prince was merely a temporary measure to prevent the empire from falling into too much turmoil.

But now that the Seventh Prince has taken the initiative to rebel, the Second Prince is now standing on the absolute moral high ground.

In addition, he has cultivated a considerable force over the years, and with the inherent advantage of being the emperor, the power he can truly mobilize is astonishing.

The two sides then engaged in a massive civil war.

This situation is completely different from the last civil war.

Driven by his desire for the supreme throne, the Seventh Prince had long since abandoned all restraints, and the casualties caused during the rebellion were truly shocking.

On the other hand, the second prince was also furious at the seventh prince's cruelty.

In order to minimize losses, the Second Prince had to deploy more forces to suppress the rebellion in order to bring the Seventh Prince to justice as quickly as possible.

Compared to the previous civil war, this larger-scale civil war lasted for a full 200 years, yet there was still no sign of it ending.

But an event that occurred at this critical juncture forcibly brought an end to the civil war in the Tia Empire.

High-level dimension.

The three towering figures looked down upon the world of Frantis from a unique perspective.

"That's about enough... If it continues to fester, it won't be good for the origin of this world."

Yang Li's exquisite words, imbued with the power of authority, echoed in Yang Dong's ears.

As the incarnation of a great god, He could naturally see at a glance where the world's limits were, which is why He spoke up to remind Yang Dong.
