A certain rumor traveled through the entire world like wildfire, spreading to every region with this absurd piece of news that no one ever believed in.
No one knew where the news began even and thus its validity could not be trusted. And yet, because of how monumental the news was, everyone had half a mind to thoughtlessly believe the news.
People waited for the truth to be revealed, but the truth was not revealed even as a lot of time passed. People waited for an entire year, maybe even more, giving the royal palace time to speak, and yet no news came from there.
It was all silent.
So, as more and more time passed, people began believing the news more and more.
Alex, king of the Southern Continent, was dead.
The rumor first started around the time when Long Hanjue officially took the throne of the Eastern Continent. The southern continent as a whole was missing from that event, causing people to question why that was.
