The Golden Throne

He sighed. "I am in for a hell of a ride. What is going to happen over the next few months? Well, I hope that everything goes well.", he thought to himself.

He got out of the car and went to his room. He laid down on the bed. He started thinking about what Feng Luang had said. She said that this was just a street fight. He still had chills regarding the fight that he fought alongside her back in the magical forest. The phoenix clearly struggled a lot. 

That was why he even went to the king to ask for help. He was worried that Feng Luang was unable to defeat the minister, let alone kill it. She even struggled to kill a demon general, and could only do so because the general was distracted by Liu Feng's sudden sneak attack on him.. A minister was supposed to be a whole level above and had a weapon that was supposed to be very powerful.

And, looking at his luck so far, Liu Feng was absolutely sure that the demon minister who would be leading the charge would be a minister with an armour as the weapon, which would spell their defeat.

"I have to prepare more for this war. I have been underestimating the issue. I thought that I could convince the king of the magical forest with reason, but he did not even listen to me. Looks like I have to bring out the big guns.", he thought to himself.

But to think that this fight that he spent so much time working on, and spending all his resources on, was just a 'street fight'.

"What the hell happened during the demon war? How big was the war?", he just spoke out.

Primitus' voice rang. "Think about it, child. This war that you are preparing for could be won with the measly two kingdoms here. And, all of them are just a fraction of the power of the past. Imagine how powerful the people of the ancient times were. Now, in the demon war, the entire continent banded against the demons. That is equal to a thousand Aegons in comparison, no, maybe more. Just think now, how big the war must have been. You have seen nothing yet. The fact that demons have come to the shores of Dicain only means that there is a much bigger force amassing somewhere. You will soon see the problem. All of the spirits will have to descend to form contracts for the continent to even stand a chance."

"Then why has the situation degraded so far? Apparently, the mana levels have dropped a lot, and the number of contracts with spirits even more so. What were you guys doing?"

Primitus was silent, but another voice shouted in Liu Feng's ears. "Stay in your limits Liu Feng. Don't question our choices. We are spirits constrained to the spirit realm. We cannot control everything that happens in the mortal realm. We are all bound by restrictions, the mortals and the spirits alike. If you want to look at someone to blame, then look for the people responsible for the mana depletion. It must have been caused by humans consumed by greed."

Liu Feng shook. He opened his eyes, surprised. He was about to say something when he heard Primitus. "We do not know what has happened these past few centuries."

Liu Feng was confused. He asked Primitus, "Did you hear a voice just now?"

"What are you talking about? Did the pressure of Bai Hu damage your brain? What voice?"

Liu Feng recognized the voice. It was Zeus. But, when he spoke, Primitus could not hear him. And the problem was that Primitus just continued to answer the question. He was not disconnected or something like that. He started pondering. He then remembered. "Zeus is the spirit of space and time! He stopped time when he spoke to me!". Realization dawned upon him. "Is there any way that I can harness this power? I know that he said that the body cannot handle it, but it has been nourished by mana right. But he never talks to me no matter how many times I call for him. How do I use his power?", he thought to himself.

"What are you thinking about, Liu Feng? You are muttering something to yourself."

Liu Feng snapped out of his daze and apologized to Primitus. "I thought about something and its implications. The voice must all be in my head. Forget it. You said that you do not know what happened these few centuries. This could only be because of an organization that grew too powerful and did this. It could be a demon spy spin off or something like that. I will take a look at it after I am done taking care of Glade."

"Careful Liu Feng. There are many things that even we as spirits of the continent, and protectors of the realms, do not know. There are many, many dangers in this world that we cannot warn you about because we do not even know what they are! You must always learn to exercise caution.", Primitus warned. Liu Feng nodded, and he looked front to a blank wall.

He closed his eyes again, and just drifted into sleep. 

The next morning,

The war room was busy as expected. The generals of the armies had arrived, so it was louder as well. Liu Feng went in after a while, as he woke up late. He was still tired, and his hair was still a bit uncouth. He entered the room with his head down and found a place to sit. However, the moment he sat down, he noticed that the volume of the room dipped, down to zero. He looked up to see everyone in the room looking at him.
