The world was at peace.
This fact was rooted deep within everyone's soul. It was not because there were no wars, it was because nothing ever compared to the things that happened in the Chaotic Era.
Chaotic Era was billions of years ago and ever since the Desolate Era, the world has always been at peace.
Many generations have passed since then and in this evolutionary pathway, all the children born had the idea of peace instilled within their minds.
For so reason or another, even though they had not seen the Chaotic Era, they would still think that everything happening in their ti was quite peaceful.
With this peace ingrained within them, none ever actively seeked war or even conflict. Whatever that happened in the world was all sothing minor.
However, little did the people of the current Tranquility Era know… to cause a wildfire, only a little spark was needed.
There never was anything called 'true peace'. Yes, tis may be peaceful but that didn't an conflicts weren't ongoing.
Where there were people, there were conflicts. It was sothing inevitable.
This was especially true in the case of Humans who weren't as close of a group as the rest of the species living in this world.
At present, there were a few undercurrents happening in the Human Society.
The lower brass such as the commoners didn't know what was going on, but they could definitely feel sothing was wrong.
They were all having a sense of déjà vu, but still couldn't point at what was wrong.
The story was the sa for the top brass and unlike the commoners, they believed in their gut feelings and began investigating everybody secretly.
As for the middle echelons, this was where the problem lay.
Neo was working full-ti to cause as much chaos as possible in the Human Continent.
He had slept with many won under the King Rank and was putting them all to work.
Of course, the ladies weren't stupid, but Neo had his thods to brainwash and manipulate them. All the dirty work of Lith was done by him and he was quite proud of himself, knowing his master was relying on him.
Right above the Human Continent, in the Elven Continent, sothing similar was happening.
It wasn't the Elven Society that was involved this ti, but their imdiate neighbors — the orcs, goblins, and beastkins.
These guys were having mild conflicts for now and was sothing the Elves decided to turn a blind eye to. They didn't care about anything as long as it didn't bother them.
However, not all Elves were the sa.
On the highest floor of the World Tree, a young looking blonde-haired girl was lying down on her bed and looking at her phone.
She had her brows knitted while surfing the internet.
On her phone, she could see so low rank goblins and orcs battle together. Then a beastkin ddled between them and ended up making both of them as their enemy.
The three way fight began and they seed to be really angry and wanted the other person dead.
The young blonde, Alea, couldn't help but comnt in her cute voice, 'Didn't they have their issues resolved? Why fight—"
"WOO! WOO!"
Alea's attention was diverted as she heard a puppy's whimper in her room.
Turning to the source, she saw a snow white golden retriever's tail stuck under the window's glass. That poor thing was hanging like a clock pendulum by the windowsill and whimpering.
"Oh, no…" Alea said and rushed to Ren's rescue, forgetting for a second that she could remotely solve the problem as well with magic.
She went ahead and helped Ren, who, after being put down, barked at the windows in anger.
Damn these windows! They were definitely working together with the yellow head monster!
Ren then distanced himself from Alea as he saw her be near him and ran away.
Alea, knowing that he'd just get into so trouble again, began running behind him and said, "Don't go! You'll get hurt!"
Thus… the smart but easily distracted young elf forgot about the problem of the orcs as there lay a bigger and more important matter at hand for her.
After the Grand Banquet was over, Alea had brought Ren together with her because she liked cute things. This puppy was not only cute, he could also move and showed emotions, so she really liked him.
Lith had no problems with it as long as Alea didn't harm Ren.
Alea made a promise stating she won't let Ren be hard and this was the reason for her to chase after him now.
Alea was really smart but due to her nature, she was also not the brightest, leaving everyone confused as to what they should make of her.
The Elven Continent could be said to be peaceful as of now. They weren't having as much of a problem as the Humans.
But, their neighbors, that is, the continent right beside theirs, the Vampire Continent, things couldn't be said to be the sa.
The Vampires were sohow able to sll sothing was wrong.
The nobles were treating everybody harshly nowadays. This was especially true in the Adelstein territory as even for an action as small as glancing directly in the eyes of the nobles got them whipped for at least a thousand tis.
The commoners had no idea why they were being treated so harshly and were disliking the things done by the nobles. However, they had so hopes that maybe the nobles would stop all of this bullshit soon and everything would return to normal.
Due to this, they didn't do much and just lived with things.
Though, not everyone was the sa. So people genuinely began disliking the nobles and started thinking of taking revenge for the wrongs done to them.
These undercurrents were mightier than the Elven and Human Continents combined, but weren't out in the open as the Vampires were good at hiding things.
The neighbors of the Vampires, the Witches and the people of the Neutral Continent, they were going through sothing minor as well right now.
The low ranked witches were sohow disappearing mysteriously and it was a small problem. Small because only a few had gone and they didn't think much about it as the witches could be busy fooling around.
As for the Neutral Continent, sohow the Adventurers were rising there. The CNC didn't think much about it and just believed that it could be due to more dungeons opening up.
Apart from them, in the Demon Continent, things were as sa as ever.
A status quo between the seven deadly sins was maintained. Nobody had broken it yet but there were signs that stated it might happen sooner or later.
In the Dragon Continent, things were fine. They didn't have any conflict within themselves and were sleeping or doing dragon things such as amassing wealth or boasting themselves in front of the world.
In the Werewolf Continent, since everybody was close to each other, there weren't much problems. In fact, the only problem that they suffered through was so family feud, that's about it.
The Angel Continent on the other hand was as peaceful as ever. No signs of problems or conflicts were visible and they seed to be as tranquil and angelic as one could be.
Despite being at peace, the top echelons of the Angel Continent could feel the undercurrents of the world. They couldn't exactly point it out, but they were on alert for any changes.
It had only been a few months after the end of the Grand Banquet, but things were already starting to change.
Though, everything was minor conflict and nothing serious as of now.
To make its magnitude bigger, more stimulus was needed.
However, the source of the stimulus, Lith, he himself was away from all of this.
Lith was currently in deep ditation and had no ti for anything. His breakthrough was near and he was trying his best to cultivate as much as possible.
While in deep ditation, he didn't realize the passage of ti and just like that, a year had passed.
When Lith felt he needed a break now and couldn't break through with ditation alone, he woke up and left the ditation hall.
The first thing Lith did after stopping to diate was check how long had passed and to browse through the current affairs.
Then, he went straight to the Dragon Continent, to see his wife Alexandra.
Alexandra's ascension was near as well and she would be Saint Rank soon.
Lith had to give her this final push and to do that, what better way was there than to dual cultivate?
Lith's own Yang energy had beco really rich by now and was also very potent.
It would help his cute wife a great deal. And also, since he hasn't been on a honeymoon with her yet, Lith decided that now would be the best ti.
Honeymoon was a great thing for him. He could not only dual cultivate with her, but also spend so quality ti.
It was a win in his books and having a few places in mind, he went to go get her.
