Reading is undoubtedly one of Luke's few hobbies.

Because he grew up in a relatively closed environment, books and teachings from the clan elders became the only way to learn about the outside world.

However, as he left the relatively closed tribal station and came into contact with the outside world, his vision quickly increased exponentially, and with the boy's unreserved teachings, he had gained an accumulation of knowledge that even ordinary Darrants could not match.

But compared to the history of the Darrant civilization that I have just read in my hand, especially the part about early enlightenment and mythological stories, it is simply impressive.

You must know that these guys are not the product of "natural evolution", but were born in a very special place on the planet Mocha - the Dark Lake.

Don't get me wrong, this "lake" is not a place where most life understands that it contains a lot of water, but a dark place that even the light of the stars cannot dispel.

No one knows exactly how this place came to be, and no one knows how long it has been around.

The only thing that is known is that in the depths of this huge black energy pool, hundreds of millions of soul fragments are hidden.

The tranquility of the well water continued until one day, when a passing god passed by and threw a drop of his own blood into the dark lake.

In an instant, a huge number of soul fragments and energy produced some kind of wonderful chemical reaction, and finally after a long period of fusion, the first batch of special lifeforms between half-beasts and half-intelligence were born.

And these living beings are the ancestors of the original Darrants.

However, these guys are not as smart as the Darrants, who have completed countless rounds of evolution at the moment, but are full of savagery, ignorance, and violence.

With the lake as the center, they quickly expanded in all directions, killing every living creature they could see, either as food or to vent their innate animal desires.

In the process, the ancestors of the Darents spread their genes widely into a wide variety of organisms.

Although the vast majority of them died of various diseases and problems when they were born, there were a few lucky ones who survived, and these lucky ones were the ancestors of the second generation of Darrants.

Followed by the second, third, and fourth generations......

With the infinite possibilities contained in their bloodline, they quickly multiplied a large number of descendants.

But the interesting thing is that although the more hybrids the offspring become smarter and more sane over time, the power is still firmly in the hands of the first born.

The reason is very simple, these original creatures possess a power that is far more powerful than that of their descendants, and although they are not good at thinking and do not know how to use any tactics, they can handle most challenges with brute force alone.

Just when the internal contradictions of Darrant's ancestors became more and more intense, the god who threw his own blood into the water of the lake finally appeared.

Not only did he teach the second, third, and fourth generations of Darrant ancestors, but he also taught the power of the Shadows.

With hundreds of years of accumulation, these intelligent descendants finally overthrew the simple and brutal rule of the first beasts, and began to establish an era dominated by theocracy.

And the god who had been planning for hundreds of years became the object of worship of the entire nascent race and civilization.

As for what follows, one of the most interesting scenes in the history of the Darrant civilization appears.

These Daranti ancestors, who had mastered the power of the Shadows, did not bow down at the feet of the gods and become the most faithful followers of the other side like most civilizations, but instead began to delve into the potential of the Shadows and create a series of vast systems based on the power of the Shadows.

At its peak, religious and political leaders finally took a step across the red line.

He asked the god to share his secrets and authority so that he too could become an immortal god.

You don't need to ask to know that this request instantly sparked a monstrous anger from the gods.

Immediately after, the war between the gods and mortals began.

No negotiations!

No compromises!

Some are just a collision of blood and fire!

The brutality of this war is the most brutal even in the bloody history of the Darents.

In the end, less than one-twentieth of the entire civilization survived and began to rebuild its former glory on the ruins.

After paying such a huge and heavy price, they not only succeeded in pulling the god down from the throne, but also discovered that their birth was actually a conspiracy that the other party had planned for thousands of years.

God used His own blood to bind the ancestors of the Darrants to the Shadows.

So as long as there is still a Darrant using the shadow energy, the god will never really die, and as the number of people who use it increases, they will one day be resurrected.

This means that the survivors have to make a choice.

Either abandon your existing power and find another one to replace it, or continue to use the shadow energy to become stronger before the gods are resurrected, and then fight a bloody battle.

You don't need to ask to know that the second option is a bit unreliable no matter how you look at it.

As a result, the survivors ended up opting for the first option, abandoning the shadow energy and re-embracing the power called magic.

And in the process, they continued to give full play to their innate advantages, constantly diluted the original bloodline, and finally formed the glorious era of magical civilization in modern times.

Interestingly, however, from the abilities shown by the members of the Shadow Guard, it is clear that they have not completely abandoned the power of the Shadow, but have limited it to the individual numbers, supplemented by the latest research.

"Interesting...... The Shadow Guards are the dark past that the Darrants have deliberately concealed. They are afraid of such power, and they have to rely on it. Because only those who have experienced it firsthand will understand the power of shadow energy. ”

Luke casually threw the black slate with the history recorded in his hand to the side, his eyes glinting with excitement and anticipation.

There is no doubt that in his eyes, this god is definitely a true genius, and the created Darrant is also not to be underestimated.

The former tries to create a race that is 100% obedient to itself and has amazing potential from scratch, and then transforms the entire race into its own followers, and finally realizes external expansion and realizes its own ambitions and ambitions.

The latter is also not to be outdone, not only successfully getting rid of the fate of being manipulated again and again, but also gradually developing into an extremely powerful magical civilization.
