"There are some people, some things, although they are not written down in history, but they do happen to us anytime and anywhere, Anduin, Sonia, there are some things, it is time for you to know."

The two young men glanced at each other and immediately listened attentively to the secret legend told by Fordin.

"Let me start from the beginning, at the beginning of the birth of this world, there was no light, no darkness, everything was in chaos, who was the first awakened ancient god, there is no way to know, but the beginning of the ancient era was slowly unfolded in the collision of eight powerful gods. Due to their different personalities, the eight gods split into two camps, and as the real world finally settled, the war of the gods broke out. ”

"There are no winners in this war."

"The indescribable collision almost destroyed everything, and in order to prevent the soul from collapsing with the body, the eight gods could only let their consciousness leave the real world, create a soul plane in the void, and continue the protracted confrontation of wills, and the bodies they left behind also turned into energy, making up for the wounds of the world, constituting the main body of the continent, and giving rise to all kinds of wonderful creatures, the most typical of which is the dragon clan."

"As soon as the dragon appeared, the will of the gods gave up the meaningless collision of spirits and started another confrontation by interfering in the real world. Since the dragon was born from the gods of order, the middle of the ancient era was a history of the growth of all things in nature, and the ancient races, including elves and trolls, all rose rapidly during this period, or under the influence of the gods of chaos, they quickly became corrupted, becoming a tool and a way for them to return to reality. ”

"For some unascertained reason, the four ancient gods of the chaotic camp have found a way to come to reality, and they have used the bloody festival to create two powerful bodies capable of carrying the will of the mighty shore, and launched an attack on the five dragon kings."

"There is still no winner in this war."

"The new bodies of the two Chaos Old Gods were unable to exert their full power, and the five Dragon Kings, with the help of the Lord of Order, resolved the first Twilight Crisis in a way that nearly came to an end. After that, the Dragon King retreated into the background for unknown reasons, and the Ancient Elves, with the support of the Lord God of Order, ushered in the last glory of the Ancient Era! ”

"Maybe you haven't thought about why the Ancient Age is called the Ancient Age, the reason is that some mysterious visitors suddenly broke into our world, they called themselves Ethereal Spirit Traders, and used mysterious technology to cross the infinite deep space that powerful gods did not want to explore, in order to obtain powerful artifacts with magical powers through trading."

Speaking of this, Anduin remembered the elven literature he had seen in the kobold library, which contained the figure of the Ethereal Merchant.

"After the first Twilight Crisis, the ancient gods gradually fell into a deep sleep due to the consumption of will, so they did not notice the arrival of the Ethereal Merchant, they stood in an absolutely neutral position, and welcomed all traders, no one knows how many transactions the Ethereal Merchant made, but the most famous of them is none other than the two transactions of the Twilight Believer and the Lord God of Order, which directly announced the arrival of the Second Twilight Crisis and the end of the ancient era."

"The Twilight Cultist awakened the sleeping Nightmare Ancient God, this chaotic god took advantage of the fact that the Lord God of Order was still asleep, and launched an invasion of the elemental plane closest to the real world, the elemental god of the Order camp was awakened by the change, but there was no way to resist the attack from the real world, the plane barrier was opened, and he had to rely on the soul will to fight a difficult battle with the entity of the Nightmare Old God, this battle of great disparity in strength ended with the absolute victory of the Nightmare Old God, and the will of the elemental god was eroded and became a member of the chaos camp."

Feeling that the gentle element had become irritable, the Lord God of Order finally woke up from his slumber, and immediately found the root of the problem, forced by the situation, he had to make a deal with the Ethereal Merchant, and obtained the powerful technology to seal the real world, preventing the Nightmare Old God from further eroding the main god plane, and could only turn the spearhead to the Elven Empire. In fact, from this moment on, the ancient age is over, because the ancient gods will not be able to easily use their will to interfere with reality, and all races will be free to develop from the shackles. ”

"Of course, before that, you need to defeat the Nightmare Old God."

The Elven Empress also received a method from the Ethereal Merchant, using the endless energy of the Well of Eternity to summon the Black Dragon King, who had disappeared for a long time, to block the footsteps of the Nightmare Old God, and she also used her own sacrifice to tear the wounds left by the Elemental Lord God on the Nightmare Ancient God's body, so that the Black Dragon King had a chance to die together. The specific process is unknown, no one has witnessed it, and no one has recorded it, even the main gods of order are unable to see the real world directly due to the isolation of the plane, and can only use their respective mediums to detect the existence of dragons that are different from the king of the black dragon. ”

"The second twilight crisis ended when the continent was shattered."

Speaking of this, Sonia couldn't help but sigh: "The Ethereal Merchant has almost influenced the direction of the world, why are they so powerful? ”

"No!"

Furding shook his head slowly: "The strength of the Void Spirit Merchants is far inferior to the ancient gods, and they are not even comparable to the Dragon King and the Elven Empress, and they are not omniscient, because while the Lord God of Order seals the world, it also cuts off their path back to the starry sky. ”

"Huh?" Sonia looked strange, "Why is this happening?" According to the wisdom of the Ethereal Merchant, didn't he expect this situation? ”

"Of course, they thought of this and made a detailed plan for their return, but the problem is that the Ethereal Merchant didn't expect that there were many people who didn't want them to leave, especially the ambitious Hell Lords, who tried every means to delay the return of the Ethereal Merchant and tried to enslave the Ethereal Merchant, which completely angered them, so the Elven Queen didn't pay much to get the way to summon the Black Dragon King."

"At the same time, the Ethereal Merchant has also suffered strong retaliation from the Hell Lord, and the Ethereal Spaceship containing endless knowledge was destroyed in the explosion, completely giving them a chance to return to the stars."

Fordin's words were full of pity: "All this past was explained to our ancestors by the Titan Lord God through the Titan bones, although the Ethereal Spirit Merchant himself still retains some magical technology, but he can no longer use information trading alone to change the world as before, and this also makes the Lord God of Order lose the opportunity to truly resurrect, and has to continue to engage in spiritual confrontation with the Chaos Ancient God, but we humans have a chance to rise rapidly in the troubled times." ”

"Now, it's time to really reveal the secrets of the Northern Islands. After the fall of the Elven Empire, there is still a powerful living force, and they travel all over the world to destroy the remnants of Twilight until they reach the huge island located in the northernmost part of the Northern Archipelago, encountering an unprecedented deadly crisis. ”

"Because it is the gap in the elemental plane, even if the real world is sealed, it is still under the powerful influence of the destruction of frost and depraved/fallen decay, and after a sudden snowstorm, the elven army is nearly completely wiped out, and it has become a walking corpse resurrected undead."

"If the elves still had the strength to spare, the current situation would not be so serious, but it is a pity that the resurgence of the old enemy trolls has left the elves with no time to take care of them, so that the remaining abyssal demons can find an opportunity to accumulate their own strength on that cursed island."

"During that time, all races lost their shackles and burst out at an unparalleled growth rate, especially our human beings, originally the elven royal family tried to support human beings and fight against trolls, who knew that human beings not only beat the trolls back to the deep mountains and forests in a very short time, but also shattered the illusion of the elves returning to the country, but the magic empire of humans fell at a faster speed like a comet."

"The Abyssal Demon entrenched in the Northern Islands, borrowed the power of the Elemental Lord God, and soon set off the third Twilight Crisis, the Magic Empire is powerful, the Abyss Demons and the evil necromancers they summoned, blocked the Northern Islands, but the empire has long been corrupted by demons, and in the case of internal and external enemies, the once prosperous Magic Empire quickly fell apart, if it weren't for the many magicians who did not hesitate to stick to it, if it weren't for the rapid emergence of a large number of heroes, including the first monarch of the Holy Empire, Twilight may live forever."

"Under the call of the first monarch, the Holy See was able to develop rapidly, curb the spread of twilight, and turn the defense to attack the main island in the north again, this time, with the Titan Lord God giving guidance through the Titan bones, the Empire Ancestors did not repeat the mistakes of the past, destroyed all the demons, and captured the evil artifact used by the Abyss Demon to manipulate the resurrected undead - Frost Sorrow!"

"In order to prevent the Abyssal Demon from using this evil artifact to make a comeback again, the legendary knight who followed the original monarch responded to the call of the Titans and tried to harness the Frost Grief with the firm will of mankind, and he succeeded, but also paid a huge price, and could only spend the rest of his life on the snow-covered island until the end of his life, and then another legendary knight inherited his will."

Speaking of which, Anduin and Sonia suddenly realized something.

"Bolval is the next successor to Frostmourning, but unfortunately, due to an unexpected circumstance, he had to fulfill his mission ten years early......"

"Why?" Sonia was a little incredulous, "Why Uncle Bolval?" ”

"Because that's our calling, kid!"
