Introduction to the Chronicles. Fragments of the sea

Next Chapter

About the world we live in, there are historical facts for us to consult, and legends for us to reverie. We can clearly know how human beings have survived in the land of Zhongzhou for thousands of years, facing demons for generations. Although these accounts have been eroded by blood and time, and even the truth is slowly obscured, after all, the feeling of sliding your fingers over the yellowed pages is truly reassuring. However, when people look up to explore the origin of this world, seek the beginning of all things, and recall the golden age buried deep in memory, they are at a loss, leaving only the legends of the old and the fragments of memories buried deep under the blood. The following are the legends that have been circulated on the continent, recording the origin of this world, recording the gods, demons, and humans, recording the suffering of human beings since ancient times, and also recording the future road to the boundless paradise.

In the distant past, there was no light, no darkness, no twinkling stars and no passage of time, and the only thing that existed was the boundless chaos that encompassed everything, and of course, the creation god primordial who slowly took shape and awakened in the chaos. When God woke up, chaos began to change, and the forces of light, darkness, creation, destruction, cohesion, and dispersion began to appear, and when the primordial God decided to break through the chaos and create the world, he used these powers to build the foundation of this world.

After the continent, the sea, the sky, and the demon realm beneath the earth were completed, the creator god created the Asura and the demons, and he gave the Asura the ability to control thunder, fire, and frost; At the same time, he condensed the toughest demon body and gave them the power to destroy everything.

It is said that when the Asura and the demons were created, the creator god was very tired at that time, and mistakenly took the soil for the stardust that created the Shura and the demons, and created a weak new creature, which is the emergence of humans. The creator god did not give the third creature he created with his own hands the power of the Shura and the demons, but he gave mankind something else, that is, wisdom.

It is said that the gods left a prophecy before leaving the world for the heavenly realm: when weakness becomes strength, a new cycle of reincarnation will begin. The strongest of the three clans will embark on the path of channeling.

Rebellion of the Three Realms - Weak humans, lurking wisdom

After the world was created, the spiritual power it conceived began to produce creatures such as flowers, trees, birds, animals, etc., but their power was incomparable with the creatures created by the gods themselves, and the Shura and the demons were the masters of their respective worlds.

The world is divided into the Shura Heaven, the Human World, and the Demon Realm from top to bottom, although the Shura people live in the Shura Heaven, the humans live in the human world, and the demons live in the underground demon world, but most of the time the Shura and the demons are free to travel between the Three Realms, and the human world is just a way for them to come and go.

They seldom remembered that there were humans in this land who had also been created by the Creator God. These parasites in the eyes of Shura and demons really don't have much power, and even beasts are more powerful than humans.

The two races with overwhelming strength, under the infinite pursuit of power, finally broke out a war, and the war extended from the Shura Heaven and the Demon Realm to the human world.

Humans did not participate in any battles, and they were tired of dealing with poisonous snakes, beasts, floods, and landslides.

From time to time, the sky was covered with clouds, thunder and lightning, and the speeding chariots could be seen when they looked up, and those battle scenes were passed down in human mythology.

The Power of Enlightenment - The Power of Wisdom: Learning

Over the course of tens of thousands of years, humans slowly gained a foothold in the battle with natural beasts, gradually began to make weapons and tools, and formed the first tribes. Humanity began to flourish, although at that time they still occupied a small corner of the world.

For tens of thousands of years, human beings have been witnessing the battle between the demons and Shura as a spectator, and have learned their abilities from them, and some humans have learned the fighting skills to strengthen their bodies from the extremely strong and rock-destroying demons, which they call martial arts; Others learned from the asuras, who controlled wind, fire, thunder and lightning, the ability to communicate with the elements and summon thunder or fire, which was later called magic. In the years that followed, some people sought a new, peaceful power from the natural world, demons, and asuras, and they used spirit to communicate with life, and their understanding of life and nature was extremely profound, and this power was called Taoism.

In this way, the three professions of warrior, mage, and Taoist priest were born, and human beings found the ability to learn from the wisdom given by the primordial gods, and human beings began to slowly become stronger. When Shura and the demons saw that humans were using their own spells to summon thunder and lightning or their own martial arts, they were surprised and amused at the same time, in their opinion, these sweeping forces were so weak and insignificant under the drive of humans.

Lord of the Earth – The Power of Wisdom: Mutual Aid and Development

Both the Shura and the demons ignored the power of wisdom, and after many years, mankind began to have its own civilization, and the three outstanding tribal patriarchs established the three kingdoms of Menghu, Baigu and Hong on the land. Mankind ended the era of wandering, philosophy, literature, art, commerce, architecture, strategy, and technology began to develop, and at the same time, the martial arts, magic, and Taoist abilities that humans learned from Shura and demons have also developed, and these abilities have made humans powerful creatures in the course of time.

Amazed by the speed of human development, the Asura God and the Demon King of the Underworld finally understood the power of wisdom bestowed by the Creation God, and this ability to learn and grow will make humanity stronger and stronger, and may even surpass the Shura and the demons.

The Shura clan and the demons lurking underground will not allow such a race to rise, so all kinds of demons and asuras have entered the human world from the demon realm and the Shura realm, and in the following hundreds of years, the war between humans and demons has spread to almost every inch of the continent.

In the last hundred years of the war, the concept of "taming beasts" was introduced in the country of Hyakkuya, which eventually led to the development of cavalry as a class of human beings with creative abilities.

The combat power of human beings has been rapidly improved, the raging demons have been driven underground, the Asura clan has been driven back to the sky, and human beings have finally become the masters of the earth.

It was only at this time that the Shura, humans, and demons created by the Creation God truly became the three poles of balance, and the three-legged momentum began to take shape.

The path of channeling – distant and elusive

But when the foreign enemy retreated, mankind did not "turn from weak to strong, and embark on the path of God," as prophesied by the creator God. "Wisdom brings not only the power of creation, but also conspiracy and killing, and the human beings with the power are much more complex and terrifying than the Shura and the demons. Mankind began a legendary period of fighting and fighting with each other.

An immortal legend was born at that time......
