Whenever the emperor of the Luminance empire changed, there was one thing constant. They were always told that they were not the true ruler of this land.
This land did not belong to them or any other human. In fact, it belonged to the beast. It was a truth that every emperor learned when they became an emperor. However, there wasn't much use to learning this truth as the beasts never came to retake their land.
However, 30 years ago, Bai Jingshen had arrived in the Radiant City to find Alex, and during that time he had revealed himself to the emperor.
The Ruler of the entire Western Continent, the White Tiger, the one whose land the emperor ruled, was none other than he himself.
"I see you have found out the truth as well," the emperor said to Alex. "You don't seem surprised."
"I found out half a month ago," Alex said. "Didn't you have an oath telling you to not reveal who he was?"
