Just like most planes that gained access to the ancient battlefield, the Virut plane was also invaded. They were unlucky or, in this case, very lucky to be invaded by a dragon. It is normal to be invaded, but it is abnormal to be invaded by a dragon. The young dragon took a fancy to the plane and decided to make it its turf. Young, it may be, but it is not an easy opponent by any means. It didn't help that other races were attacking them too.
Dragons are proud and highly territorial. They only share lairs when they are reproducing. The young adults leave to lay claim to their own turf, where they will sleep most of the time. This dragon came to the Virut plane and settled down. It decided that the entire plane was its territory.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThen it asked for obedience and gifts from the illegal occupants of its territory. The battle sage monkeys refused, so the dragon got angry. It is the right of the landlord to get rent from its tenants, after all. It killed wantonly and couldn't be stopped by anybody. The first sage tried and tried, but he failed to kill the dragon.
He created the first three steps of weapon mastery as a transcendent, but it wasn't enough to kill the dragon. He could fight off the dragon and even defeat the dragon with help, but he couldn't kill it. It was too difficult to injure the dragon critically.
His foresight didn't help him enough because he didn't have enough information. He didn't even know what a dragon was. It is something he has never seen. All he knows about it is that it is a terrifying flying beast that spits unquenchable and highly destructive fire.
They were all ignorant of dragons back then. They were ignorant of a lot of things because they had been holed up within a plane the entire time, so no one knew about the weakness of a dragon. It was her, the keeper of secrets, that saved the day again.
She was the one that told the first sage about the dragon scale and the dragon heart behind it. All it took was one look from her to spot the weakness of the dragon. She told him where to stab to kill the dragon and how to use the dragon's heart to empower himself.
The first sage took her advice and fought the dragon again. He succeeded in killing the dragon and acquired the dragon's heart to become more powerful. It turned out that he didn't need the dragon's heart to become powerful. He was crowned as the child of the plane for his act of killing the dragon. The plane deemed him worthy of bearing the fate of the plane instead of her.
The first sage then led the then ocular monkeys to beat back their invaders and acquire complete control of the plane. The alternative would have been the defeat of the battle sage monkey and the subsequent subjugation of the plane by the invaders or closing the gate, which would cause the plane to dry up.
He prevented the alternative fates of the battle sage monkey. They were able to keep the plane to themselves, and he did even more. He led the ocular monkeys to rampage through the ancient battlefield so that they would have space to cultivate there. Whenever anyone from the myriad of races in the realm saw one of them, they would remember the battle sage. It was then that their race was renamed the battle sage monkeys.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe entire race was named after him. It is such a great honor. But what about her? He could never have defeated the dragon without her aid except by luck. Even his ability of foresight only helped to keep him alive against a dragon. How was he to know to stab a particular scale amongst thousands of scales which have also shown to be very durable? How was he to know that one particular scale is weak and which one it is?
It was the information that she provided that killed that dragon and saved the plane. But he took all the glory. He didn't even give her the heart of the dragon since he didn't need it anymore. The selfish bastard gave it to his partner. He said she needed it more.
It has always been the first sage that received all the glory and honor, and she is sick of it. He was the first transcendent. He was the one to open the gate of the plane and the one to kill the dragon. He was the one to be praised while she was relegated to the shadows. She was supposed to be the one to become the child of the plane. She deserved it, but she wasn't given it.
That's why she hated the first sage and why she will always hate anyone that has the title of the child of the plane. She also hates the racial council. The racial council was established by the sages. It is full of all those that enabled the first sage to rob her of every glory that belongs to her. They are also being led by the first sage, so she refuses to be a part of it and refuses the title of sage.
Her hatred for the first sage and Soverick is something that can never be forgotten or forgiven. A world god doesn't forget anything. To suggest it is an insult. She can forgive, but she can never forget. It will also be very difficult to forgive the transgressions against her.
She is not a mortal with poor memory. Her emotions and anger have not been reduced by time. It is something that can never happen because she can recollect her emotions and events vividly as if she were there again.
It is ridiculous to think that world gods will forget a transgression and give up on revenge because they don't care anymore. It is like saying that all the world gods that the realm lord offended when he liberated the life trees will forgive him. That can not happen.
