"In ancient times, when the world was just opening up,

Wrapped in a fog of chaos.

Everywhere there were gray rocks, huge ancient trees, and now-vanished ancient dragons.

Then, the fire appeared.

With fire, things are different.

Cold and hot

Life and death

And also......

Light and darkness.

There were some chiefs of the human race, who were around the fire, who found and inherited the will of the king, and they called them: the emperor.

Great Ancient Emperor: Fu Xi;

Shennong and his sons;

Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor and his warriors.

At that time, people lived together with witches on the continent.

In order to survive, the Yellow Emperor led the Terrans and had a war with the Wu Clan led by Chi You.

The Yellow Emperor pierced Chi You's body with the Xuanyuan Sword,

Zhu Rong, the descendant of Emperor Yan, summoned a storm of flames,

The female squire unleashes a miasma of death.

Feng Bo, that is, the later Wind Queen, betrayed Chi You, and finally the Wu Clan failed.

Thus, the age of fire in which the human race flourished began.

But the fire will eventually be extinguished, and only the darkness will remain forever.

The light cannot shine on the world, and the night lasts endlessly.

Cursed dark souls began to appear among the Terrans. ”

As the old man chanted in a low voice in front of the fire, the flickering light of the fire illuminated the young faces of the tribal children, a little girl in animal skins asked, "Grandpa Priest, the dark souls, is that the curse issued to us by those dead witches?" ”

"Yes, Dark Souls represents a curse by the Wic."

"In ancient times, the witch was the most powerful clan, whether it was the ancient dragon, the phoenix, the unicorn, or the demon clan, they were not as strong as the witch clan. But with the emergence of the human race, the weak people survived on the continent and continued to multiply, but the witch was gradually declining, and finally, with the death of the last great witch, the blood of the witch soaked the earth, and they cursed the continent and cursed the place where humans lived. ”

"The Dark Ages have arrived."

"Only the flame, the flame that has been passed down from generation to generation, from the original salary king, can be born from the flame that can resist the darkness for us."

"But now, the power of the fire is passing and it is about to be extinguished......"

With the voice of the old man, the fire that everyone was sitting on, the firelight suddenly dimmed, and suddenly, the light of the fire was swallowed up by the surrounding darkness, accompanied by "chirp", I don't know what was swimming in the darkness, the person sitting on the edge of the fire let out a scream, but soon, the light of the fire shook and became larger again, and the darkness retreated like a tide.

The man who let out the screams emerged from the darkness, still sitting cross-legged as he listened to the priest's remarks of the past, but all the flesh on his body was gone, as if he had been gnawed away by something.

All that remained was a bloodstained skeleton.

The man at the edge of the fire was in a panic, and the old priest said, "Don't panic, everyone! Sit closer, as long as the fire is still burning, nothing in the dark will pass. ”

"Grandpa Priest, the fire has been getting smaller and smaller lately...... When will the fire-spreading adults come? ”

"I don't know, this time of year should have come, but this year...... I heard that many of the fires in the royal city have been extinguished......" The priest's mood was a little heavy, but when he saw the children of the tribe around the fire, the old man with wrinkles on his forehead showed a reassuring smile, "Maybe it will come tomorrow." ”

"After all, this is our human race, a heritage of thousands of years, and the Fire Bearer will not give up on every tribe and everyone."

"Alright, let me tell you a story from the ancients."

"In ancient times, the world was opened, do you know who did it?" He paused for a moment, and continued without waiting for everyone's answer, "Legend has it, a long, long time ago, the heavens and the earth were not separated, the universe was in chaos, and there was a giant named Pangu, who had been sleeping in this chaos for eighteen thousand years. ”

One day Pangu suddenly woke up, and when he saw that it was pitch black around him, he picked up his big axe and slashed at the darkness in front of him. I heard a loud bang, and the chaotic things gradually separated. What is light and clear, slowly rises, and becomes the sky; Something heavy and cloudy, slowly descending, turned into the ground. ”

"After the heavens and the earth were separated, Pangu was afraid that they would still be together, so he put his head on the sky and stepped on the ground with his feet. The sky rises by one zhang every day, and Pangu also grows higher and higher. In this way, I don't know how many years I have had, the sky and the earth gradually took shape, and Pangu was so tired that he fell down. ”

"Therefore, Pangu is our ancestor, whether it is human or witch, the ancestor of all ethnic groups, so the continent where we are located is called Pangea Continent."

As he spoke, the old man walked over and picked up the skeleton, which had been gnawed by some unknown flesh, and placed it in the fire.

No one mourns, no one weeps, for this kind of thing has been seen many times, and in the center of this fire are the priests and young men, and at the outermost are people in their 30s and 40s, who are already in their twilight and will die in a few years, if nothing else...... Only those who were the strongest when they were young and did not die in battle could live to be 50 years old.

There are six burning fires in this tribe, and in each place the young man sits in the center and the old man sits on the outer.

At 62 years old, the priest was already the oldest man in the tribe, and he was the most important person in the tribe because of his knowledge.

Fire brings hope for survival, and knowledge is the hope for the inheritance of civilization.

The bones of the dead were put into the fire and burned, and the fire seemed to grow a little bigger, and the light emitted forced a large area of darkness back.

"That way, at least tonight, the fire won't be extinguished again."

The scorching skeleton in the fire made a subtle "crackling" sound, and the light of the fire illuminated everyone, and everyone watched the fire silently. After a long time, the old man said, "The night is still very long, let me tell you about the ancient things of the human race, do you know who was the king who first passed down the flames?" ”

"Grandpa Priest, have you forgotten?" "You've said it many times," said the little girl in the skin. ”

"Really? Hehe, it seems that I am too old to forget a little. ”

"But let me say it again, because those are the great ancestors of our human race, the original salary kings: the Suiren clan."

"The Suiren clan of the salary king, the Chao Emperor has the Chao clan, the Earth Emperor Shennong clan, and the Emperor Fuxi clan...... These are the emperors who led the Terrans and left a legacy through all obstacles, and you must remember that it is with their weak Terrans that they can survive. And Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor killed the last great witch: Chi You...... It's a pity that there is no emperor in the current era. ”

"Many of the fires that have been passed down from the original torch of the royal city have also been extinguished, when will a new human emperor appear and let the fire flourish again?"

He sighed faintly.

The night is even darker......
