As we have said before, the foundations that make up the world of Lokan are the surging elemental, the dead elemental, and the soul. The first two are the material base, just like the hundreds of elements that have not yet been fully discovered on Earth. And the soul is what Lokante has.

At the beginning of the birth of this world, there was no soul, and there were only landscapes such as flowers and trees, mountains and rivers, and there was no independent life form. It was Mia who cut off a part of her soul and tried to use it as a seed to bring life to Lokan.

But she failed.

The soul is very different in nature from the elements, which spontaneously appear in the air after the birth of Lokan, and the two elements of life or death are intertwined and transformed back and forth. Their concentrations also continue to increase, and when they reach a certain threshold, they begin to cancel each other out again, resulting in annihilation, and the vacuum created by annihilation allows the elements to flow, forming tides, and so on, forming a large cycle.

So Mia seems to understand that the cycle is the basis of the existence of all things. So in order to ensure that the soul can also flow like the elements, Heru came into being.

Mia poured all her soul into Heru, so the world was shrouded in fog due to the high concentration of soul energy, and the liquefied soul formed the Styx and the boundless Nilfheim.

Just as the first life on Earth was born in a nutrient-rich primordial ocean, the pot of "broth" of Nilverheim is also the origin of life in Heru.

Mia then sent some of these lifeforms to Lokan to thrive as primordial creatures. The birth of every new life is accompanied by a soul from Nilverheim. Just as the matter on both sides of the cell membrane passively diffuses along the concentration gradient, the soul is constantly transmitted in the gap between the two worlds of Lokan and Heru.

In the same way, after the death of the creatures of Lokan, the souls will be attracted by the River Styx to return to Heru, and so on.

Seeing the birth of the prototype of the world, Mia used her last power to create three managers to take care of the world for her.

Among them, the Soul Shaper Patumnax was given the power to control the soul by Mia, overseeing the flow of energy between the two worlds, ensuring that new life can obtain souls and dead souls can return to the River Styx.

Ekari, the manipulator, is responsible for overseeing the normal operation of the elemental tides. At that time, there was no magic net, and the air flow brought by the elemental tides was like a regular trade wind, and Mia used the relatively inactive dead element to weave a ribbon track to regulate and accelerate the flow of the trade wind, and Ikali was given control of the dead element.

The last observer, Kanrosh, according to Alduin, was shaped by Mia with her own eyes, hence the name. The elements, as the material that appeared together at the beginning of the birth of this world, flow forward like time, and the whispers of the surging elements indicate the future, so Kanrosh has the power to mobilize them and communicate with them, constantly monitoring the movement of the world and avoiding possible disasters.

As Shamu said in his letter, "When he returned from the end of time, he would send out a backup every once in a while to help keep the world from destruction."

Hearing this, Mu Yan asked, "So what did he see?" ”

Alduin thought for a moment, and seemed to have forgotten how to phrase the lingua franca, so he replied: "Dinoksetiid."

“…… You mean he saw you? ”

Mu Yan understood it as "the destroyer of the world".

"Hehe, you're very humorous." Alduin let out a hoarse laugh. "Dinok-do-Tiid [the end of time], not me, there was no me at that time. What this leads to is the Kiin [beginning] of all stories, and it is also the "end" of Dinok

"What he saw forced him to open Pandora's box and release a new Suleyk, or 'faith.'"

Faith? Power? Experience?

Mu Yan ignored the other party's skillful application of earth allusions, and the sentence mentioned by Xia Mu flashed in his heart, "Divine power is experience."

Suleyk can be understood as "power" to a normal person, and it is a generalized kind, similar to the English word "poer". But for Alduin, it must not be so simple, because he mentions "new".

For a dragon who is on an equal footing with three managers and has never seen any wind and waves, what can make him feel "new"? That's at least the same thing as the three primordial powers that Mia used to create the world.

The answer is revealed in Alduin's increasingly proficient lingua franca.

……

The birth of the Lokan tribes has nothing to do with Mia, or the emergence of intelligent beings has nothing to do with her, but is the result of the three administrators.

After returning from the end of time, Kanrosh began to create, and he seemed to want to change the future with it. The other two were also inspired to conduct their own experiments.

The Soul Shaper is the creator of the dragon, and he uses his bones and scales to create bloated individuals called Dovah. So the number of dragons is extremely limited, but each one contains an amazing amount of power, after all, it comes from the Soul Shaper itself.

Alduin, on the other hand, was the first dragon.

Just as many people will not be measured in the use of seasonings when cooking for the first time, Lao Pa is also like this. So with a shake of his claws, the power to create Alduin increased, and he almost divided half of his flesh and power, so that the three managers became four. He then learned his lesson, and each dragon had less than a percent of his strength. Moreover, in the almost infinite life of the dragon, after laying two dragon eggs, it will slowly age and die.

Ikali creates many elemental spirits. As the keepers of the Ring, they float above Lokan.

Compared with the dead element, the surging element is more lively, and it contains more power, so the main body of the elemental creation is the surging element, and the core of the soul is wrapped in the middle. But as time passed, these surging elements fused with the soul, the original core disappeared and spread to all parts of the body, and the body of the elemental creature changed from an amorphous form to a fixed state. Some of the most powerful of these were the Elemental Bosses that would later become known: Ral, Iso, Garden, Watson, Calypso, and more.

Kanlosh, on the other hand, wanted to create a creature that was as good at learning, thinking, and knowing how to create as they were. Because Heru is the origin of life, and the three of them were created here, he chose to stay in Heru.

So the natives of Heru, goblins, humans, Ambri and other races were born one by one, and they were all the masterpieces of Kanrosh.

The abundant soul energy allowed these natives to live a long life, and the surging elements in the air also nourished their bodies, making them born strong, and they did not even belong to the Demonic Beasts. At the same time, compared with Warcraft, their unique wisdom also makes them innate with a strong elemental affinity, and slowly build a city-state to explore unknown areas.

The Heru seemed to Kanrosh to be an almost perfect creation, but over time the flaws of this perfect creation were also exposed.

The raw material for the creation of the Heru people is the surging element, and as mentioned above, the soul and the surging element will attract each other and then blend with each other, so the Heru people cannot touch the water of the River Styx, otherwise it will melt. Even in the soul-rich environment of Heru, many people do not die naturally, but the attraction of their souls to the body is not as strong as that of the River Styx, and over time they "evaporate from the world".

In response to this situation, Kanrosh sent some of the Heru to Lokan to keep them away from the River Styx and in a world with two elements. Over time, the elements in these people's bodies tended to stabilize, and they slowly evolved into the primitive humans of Lokan.

After the goblins arrived in Lokan, they divided into two groups, one went to the forest, and under the moisture of the rich wood elements, they gradually became taller, lighter, and more feminine in appearance, and retained their innate elemental affinity, calling themselves elves. The other likes to stay in the mountains, hollowing out the mountains to create comfortable underground fortresses. Due to their increasing contact with the earth elemental and their wandering through caves, their bodies became smaller and more stocky, and their application of other elements gradually deteriorated, and they eventually became dwarves.

As for the Ambri people, because the concentration of souls in the air has plummeted, the beast souls fused in the body are no longer manic, and the violence in their personalities has gradually disappeared, and at the same time, they have grown the physical characteristics of beasts, that is, the most primitive orcs.

But what these species have in common is that when intelligent life suddenly experiences an incomprehensible change in the environment, it will develop an instinctive fear of the unknown, and then reverence, and then pray for the protection of this power.

Coupled with the elemental creatures that flew above their heads from time to time, or the group of dragons that Lao Pa had created that didn't know what to do and flew around all day long, this situation became even more intense.

The most terrifying thing is that after leaving Heru, who is full of soul energy, the lifespan of the Luokan tribes began to become shorter, and the elves and dwarves were better because of their perennial contact with the elements, but the humans who settled on the fertile horse plains and gradually forgot the talent of the elements, their lifespan was reduced from the original life expectancy to less than a hundred years, and their prayers became more and more intense by constantly experiencing birth, old age, sickness and death.

Hominids even built rudimentary statues of elemental creatures and dragons to soothe the panic of the population.

Slowly, the three managers discovered that there was a vague connection between the creatures. A power they had never seen before was born, and that was the power of faith. It emanates from humans, dwarves, elves, orcs, and other intelligent beings, connecting elemental leaders and dragons, making these creations more powerful and intelligent.

But this new power was not something the three of them could use.

Hearing this, the problem that had plagued Mu Yan for a long time was solved. He recalls the example he gave in "The Twilight Chronicles": Mia is like a mother who has worked hard for most of her life, started a company and died, and her everything was inherited by two sons and a daughter. As the number of children under his command increased, the company grew bigger and bigger, but the money handed over by the people below was completely different from what the mother left behind, and he had to be forced to redistribute it to the most capable employees......

The money handed over by the people below is the power of faith, and what Mia left behind, or what she passed on to her children, is the primordial energy that constitutes the world, and the two are incompatible, so the three managers cannot use it.

Perhaps Mia didn't expect this kind of power to arise.

With that, Alduin stretched out his claws, and a milky white air mass gathered in his palm, lubricated like milk.

"The reason why your analogy is wrong is because there are more than three managers. If they are the first generation of creations and cannot use the power of faith, I am a second-generation creation and have this permission. ”

Mu Yan watched as the air mass continued to gather in Auduin's palm, condensing into a milky white crystal filled with white gas, just like the white rabbit toffee he had eaten.

"So what did you do with it?" Mu Yan asked, "Are you the one who led the Elemental Lord led by Gatun to rebel behind his back?" ”

Alduin visibly sneered, waving his hand to disperse the air mass.

"Ikali's second-generation creators are imprinted with 'obedience' and 'loyalty' in the depths of their souls, and although I am equal to the original creators in terms of strength, I am only equal, and my authority is lower than theirs in nature, so it is impossible to erase this imprint. And you were able to come to Heru thanks to the woman Ikali, do you think she really gave the unusable money to the employees, as you said in that parable, and then asked no more questions? ”

Mu Yan thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "She didn't do this, but enslaved her own creation?" ”

"It's more than that." Alduin shook his head: "Human greed can cost you your own life at most, but the greed of the gods may bury the whole world. Ikali does much more than slavery. ”

"In the face of new forces, the three managers took very different approaches.

"My brother brought those dragons back to the Dragon's Cave in Hogarth, never to be seen again.

Kanrosh himself appeared before the human race, telling them that faith is only an ethereal thing, and that learning and creation are the best things in human beings. It's a pity that he failed, and even played the opposite. His sudden appearance not only failed to free humanity from ignorance, but strengthened his faith, so much so that he gained tens of millions of followers, and to this day, the humans of the entire Horse Plain and the orcs of the Kadra Heights are still following in the footsteps of the Word of God. ”

Alduin scoffed, "Your Excellency the Observer was once mad with his creation, and vowed never to appear before them again. But even so, humanity is so devout in his faith. And compared to him, Ikali is simply a complete loser.

She was intrigued by this new power, and in that way it was similar to the mages she hated.

In order to obtain this power, he gathered his creations, dissected their bodies, and found the path in which the power of faith flowed, trying to unravel the mysteries. In addition to the ones you know, there are dozens of the earliest elemental lords, and most of them have been tossed to death by her. All you see is survivors.

"Her greed eventually brought evil results, the disappearance of the elemental lord made the magic ring on the verge of bursting, the elemental tides suddenly disturbed, and the fierce turbulent surging elements set off earthquakes, tsunamis, winds, and torrential rains every moment, and the originally peaceful and peaceful Lokan was like the end of the world, and the scene that Kanrosh foresaw came in advance, and even he himself did not expect it to be so soon.

So he had to disrupt his plan and plant a tree in advance in the two worlds, the one called Imotru in Lokan and the one called Ignos in Heru, and the roots of the two trees were entangled, connecting the two worlds, and using this as a channel, he transferred all the surging elements of Lokan to solve the crisis.

So Lokan was left with the element of dead silence, and the woman was silent and covered with a web over the broken magic ring in order to strengthen her control over the world, and at the same time restrain the creation of Kanlosh, so that humans could not access the essence of the world.

But she clearly underestimated the human race, and although the creatures of Kanrosh were weakened by their arrival in Lokan, they burst out with a rare desire to survive in a difficult environment, and after praying to the gods for their blessings to no avail, they began to multiply faster, and their civilization gradually upgraded, and soon established a more complex social structure than Heru, and the first legendary mage was born. You may know his name. ”

"I know?" Mu Yan retrieved his memories, and there were countless legendary mages in human history, even if he didn't remember them all.

But since the other party said he knew......

"Mangaza?" He asked tentatively.

Alduin nodded.

"The day he broke through the shackles of the magic net and became a legendary mage, it was also the day that determined the fate of the mages. Legendary mages will inadvertently break down the barriers between the two worlds, and then use their bodies as a bridge to connect the two worlds. In other words, he can 'awaken' the sleeping elements around him and bring them back to life.

"As it turns out, Kanrosh did, and unlike dragons and elemental lords, the possibilities for his creations were endless.

But that's bad news for Ikali, because even she can only control the elements of Dead Silence. But weak humans, as second-generation creatures, can master both, so she does not hesitate to break the shackles of the rules to attack them and strangle the danger in the cradle. ”

"What rules?"

"It seems to be a constraint on the managers, who can only control the life and death of their own creations, and have no right to interfere with others. So after killing Mangaza, as punishment, Ikari was permanently confined to the magic net, never able to set foot in the Lokan continent, and only a faint trace of power could penetrate the gap, but it was enough to capture other spellcasters who had advanced to the legend. That hasn't changed to this day.

"The woman is like a giant mother spider entrenched in a spider's web, always on the lookout for someone to break her web."

"Yes...... The other two—"

"Kanrosh is gone, and he and Ikali have a quarrel and move Imotru into the Firmament of the Wind and back to Heru."

"And what about your brother, Patumnax?"

"That's another story, do you want to hear it?"

Mu Yan nodded hurriedly.

"There's not much credibility to that story, I don't think you'll believe it."

Saying that, Alduin took off his hood, and his appearance startled Mu Yan.

This face is not so much a human as a skeleton, with a few pieces of rotten flesh hanging from the skeleton, and the pupils are beating ghost fires, and as the mouth opens and closes, the gray gas is swirling, and the gums of teeth are covered with gray-white ice ballast, exuding a corrupt breath.

"After listening to this story, you will have a better understanding of 'who is the devourer'." The skull grinned, and Mu Yan read the mockery from it.
