The history of humanity was blurry and not much is known about its beginnings, only the powerhouses that have existed for millions of years may know a piece of the truth of its origins.

According to history, martial power was everything. Of the innumerable races in the universe, humans were one of the weakest races at birth. In addition to being the least life expectancy in the universe.

Most races had a life expectancy around 200 to 300 years, while the strongest had 1000 to 10,000 years as the elves and Divine Beasts.

Because of this same weakness, there was an enormous power gap all over the human world.

Because of this, the strong despised the weak, and many powerful powerhouses were thinking "Treasures and resources are for the strong", so each one founded their faction where they concentrated the resources of their area of influence to raise stronger and stronger cultivators. Not caring about the outside world.

But they realized that they were very pa.s.sive in their efforts to monopolize their resources. Under the banner of "Everything for the Good of Humanity," a system was generated in which the great powers were able in the easiest way to collect resources from the area.

These powers soon realized that within their lands there are "local tyrants". These were nothing more than bandits who collected taxes from the weak and in exchange received protection from other tyrants.

So they supported them, named them disciples of their faction, taught them their techniques, allowed their descendants to have slots from time to time to enter the faction without pa.s.sing tests, and the tyrants made sure to gather the best resources in the "Central Cities," And a part of the taxes, so the powers only had to open stores in that city to buy the resources. Since the money was issued by themselves they had no problems with the money.

Shortly after, within the human world began to sprout kings and emperors like ants, many powers had tens or hundreds of royal and imperial families under their command.

But the good does not last forever, each power has their fortunate and unfortunate periods, they are like an infinite loop of cycles that are always repeated. When the royal families realized it, waited and rebelled, separated from the powers that gave them in the first place their power.

They only receive the crumbs that the factions did not want, if something good came. It was to surrender it to them or die for rebellion. Eventually, the royal families were fed up with the situation and allied to destroy their powers. As for how they managed to keep it secret, it wasn't recorded. Many historians a.s.sume that the factions never thought that the royal families would do that and never sent spies or gathered intelligence, in other words: They underestimated them.

Slowly little by little things began to change, in some countries, the royal families were the real rulers, in other countries were only responsible for administering the land of the faction, and in others, the fractions personally ruled them.

In this period the agreement of the continental currency was also reached, it was a unified currency for the payment in all the continent. These had the banners of the transcendent powerhouses of the continents and only they will be able to produce them but with obstacles. According to Alexander, gold coins are issued according to the number of spiritual stones mined in a day and their value is reflected in how many spiritual stones you can exchange for gold or white gold coin.

Currently, Alexander did not know the exchange rate but in his previous life, it was a ninth degree spirit stone for 10 gold coins as it was the most common and most natural to mine. Spiritual stones served as an alternate currency but all prices were issued in gold or white gold.

In the case of the Alba family and the imperial Sail family, they were the real rulers. But in the case of the four countries, they most likely administered the lands for the powerhouses of their countries.

Long ago there were four powers in the Sail empire, Alexander imagined that the royal palace was founded with them to prevent those powers annexed to the royal family and must have sufficient strength to deal with other powers. But not with the Alliance of three powers together.

Alexander also imagined that the three powers supported the princes in the civil war and prevented other countries from invading the empire.

When he had finished explaining his reasoning to others, Audrey was confused, and Frey was meditating on what Alexander said. Helena alone was not very interested in the history of humans.

Thus Alexander took a sip of tea while waiting for the others pondering about it, the first to spoke up was Frey: "So some royal families are like subsidiary powers of the factions, Prince what is the strength of the reserved royal families? ".

"If I'm not mistaken, the Snow royal family should have at most a seventh or eighth level Gathering qi."

This made both Audrey and Frey freeze! They couldn't believe it. The royal families were so strong?

Alexander smiled softly: "You should not underestimate the royal families, because the royal family of Snow and Cesoria existed almost a thousand years old, the wealth and resources acc.u.mulated at that time is not something that the plebeians can imagine, except our Alba family only has 60 years of existence.

Hearing that, both Audrey and Frey swallowed a breath of cold air. They were both thinking about different things.

Audrey for her part was thinking that as far as she knew, the ultimate fighter in the Webber family was a third level Gathering qi, but compared to the royal family Snow, they seem weak.

While Frey was worried that any kingdom has enough power to conquer the Alba kingdom. That was because Alexander's grandparents were barely ninth level body refining stage.

"Frey, you're worrying about nothing."

So Frey looks at Alexander and hopes he could explain.

"The Alba kingdom, if compared to any of the neighboring kingdoms, is small, and only have fertile land but apart from that has nothing that the kings want since the creation of the Alba kingdom was a good thing for them, just think of the history and you could see it."

"200 years ago this was a barbaric land, dominated by tribes but in an expansionist era, The Sail Empire conquered it and made it a province of their empire, but they did not want to conquer this land, it was only part of a plan to conquer the Snow Kingdom and the Cesoria Kingdom.

When Frey heard that, he opened his eyes wide and said: "It was considered a a bridge, for the One Hundred Years War".

Some time ago within the region, there was a war between the Sail Empire that attacked the Cesoria Kingdom and the Snow Kingdom simultaneously, one attacked while the other defended. This war lasted for three generations, only ended with the death of the previous emperor and the beginning of the Civil War of the Sail Empire.

Frey never thought that others loathed his beloved homeland, this made him involuntarily become a little downcast and let out a sigh.
