Chapter 296 – The One
Histories were usually shrouded in a thick fog of time that refused anything, or anyone, the right to know as much as they wished.
But legends existed. And though they might not be the truth, there was always something to ponder upon.
And one particular legend was one people often questioned the legitimacy of.
And rightfully so.
Legend says that the Celestial Empire was not always the powerhouse it became. Back in the days when the first Emperor, Vesper Asterion, conquered the land and drove away the one most called the Enlightened Monster, the Empire was nothing more than a small piece of land, one the surrounding powers sought to devour like ravenous beasts.
But they never succeeded.
Vesper Asterion always found a way to evade the fate of being annexed by others, and the fate of complete annihilation.
It was as if he were guided by something invisible, something none of them could perceive.
