Chapter 1: The Creation Myth
"One eye is red, the other eye is orange, the red eyes make you can't see, and the orange eyes make you look far away. Two eyes are blue, two eyes are yellow, the green eyes are fluttering, and the yellow eyes are rumbling. Three eyes are purple, three eyes are blue, purple eyes can't live forever, blue eyes fly far away, and there are four or five or six green eyes left, blinking and shining. ”
In the city of Damon, the most prosperous capital of the Holy Grace Kingdom, several mischievous children sang this long-standing song and ran around the streets of the capital, they were as carefree as dragonflies. A few fast horses galloped out of the gates of the royal city, and they hurried in the direction of the barracks in the outer city, and several women hurried out from both sides of the street to draw their naughty children over. After looking at the fast horse and running away, a little girl stared at the puzzled eyes and asked, "Mother, are you going to fight?" and the woman said as she pulled her back, "No, we will never fight here." ”
The sunset at dusk fades away, and the endless night closes the curtain down. At this time, every household lit up the dim lights, the huge full moon hanging in the sky made this thousand-year-old city extraordinarily bright, the moonlight like silver frost sprinkled in the sky of the Shengya country, a circle of foam-like barriers around the whole country in the baptism of the moon half hidden and half appeared, this is the sacred protection screen that protects the Shengya country from war. At this time, in the early years of the World War, this beautiful and peaceful ancient country has gone through a long period of a thousand years, and a thousand years ago it was a barren place, and the land was filled with sorrow and wailing.
And the story we are going to tell began with the catastrophe thousands of years ago, no, it should be said that it began with the song that has been circulating for an unknown amount of time.
No one knows who made up this ballad or when it was sung. The seven eyes of different colors sung in the ballad come from a myth and legend that is as mysterious as the ballad but known to everyone.
Legend has it that heaven and earth were once condensed in the vast universe, and existed in the form of a crack in light in the vast darkness. The power of the blazing sun is the source of eternal blessings for the universe, which means that only where the sun reaches can there be a concept of life. However, this eternal narrow light in the universe does not receive the nourishment of the sun, but shines with the same light as it, and this corridor of light stands out like a shining abyss valley, mysterious and terrifying in the dark night.
Finally, one day, this crack of light caused disaster because of its own uniqueness. Tens of thousands of light-years away from the sun, there are seven demons that hide in the darkness all year round. They are pitch-black and shiny, with long strips of black wings on their sides, a flat, scaly head, and only one eye and a large mouth full of black blades like a swirl. These seven demons can rely on their huge and terrifying eyes to see the boundaries of almost the entire universe, their bodies are huge, and they are greedy and grow by devouring and absorbing everything that is bright in this boundless space. The demons had discovered the sun a long time ago, but they had not traveled far to capture it, because the blazing light could sting their eyes from such a distance, which made the demons deeply afraid, and they knew that if they were even half a step close to this energy source, the power of the sun that could destroy everything would instantly wipe them to nothing. Until this day, the demons had grown stronger their eyes after eroding a large number of luminous meteorites over the years, and flame-like light waves began to flash in their pitch-black eyeballs, and their eyes could already see through the sun the "eternal light" that was like a second source of sunlight. The demon stared at the crack of light and was ecstatic, the long streak of light that had no heat but had power was enough to withstand all the luminous meteorites that the demon had sucked. After the creepy sounds in the darkness ended, the seven monsters immediately began their invasion journey.
These seven black demons shuttled through the boundless space at an extremely fast speed like seven black lightning bolts in the universe, and they walked happily with their mouths open to devour everything. The demons feed on galactic meteorites on their way, and they travel through countless cloud galaxies for a long time before finally reaching the Milky Way where the sun is located, and the starry galaxy is connected to the sun like one of its tails. When the seven demons arrived, they first stood in a circle around the sun and stared at a distance from the sun, their mouths dripping with black liquid open to admire the sun's rising flames, and the center of the sun flowed along the Milky Way Bridge with a thick slurry of golden light, and the floating ultra-high heat maintained the life of this galaxy for hundreds of billions of years. The seven eyes did not blink in the light, and the greedy desire wished that they would devour the fiery planet at once.
But they didn't dare, and after admiring the unattainable and deadly beauty, the demons quickly gathered and flew towards the light. I saw seven demons like seven long ropes that stretched freely towards the crack light, and they used their fluent wrapping speed to surround this narrow strip of light in a very short time, and the seven long black ropes were intertwined with each other and shuttled back and forth, and the light gradually became faint in this entanglement, and the seven heads were close to the light crack and swung out from top to bottom. Finally, the seven demons completely occupied this faint light after continuous stretching, they stuck their heads into the cracks of light, opened their big mouths like black holes and began to suck greedily, and countless light factors slowly moved into the demon's body.
Soon after sucking, their pitch-black bodies began to swell and thicken. The oily back skin highlights a few long, large black horns. Their eyes began to change further, and the eyes that had been dark and glowing were filled with various colors, from the demon at the top of the crack in the light to the one at the bottom, and the color of their eyes changed to red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. The transformed demons looked up at each other's fellow demons in horror, and then they all smiled, and the smiles were creepy, chilling, and disgusting, and after a moment they lowered their heads and continued to nibble on their "food".
Just as they were carefree, a thunderbolt suddenly came from the dark night above the light, and it hit the seven demons directly, and the black body was ablaze, but the flame was absorbed by the body in an instant. Startled by the sudden blow, the demons lifted their heads, which were still dripping with black liquid, and looked upwards. They saw a swirl of lightning, a brave young warrior in silver armor, a steel helmet, and a sword in his hand. This warrior's name is Bai Zhu, the guardian of the galaxy hatched by sunspots and the water of life of the Milky Way, he is responsible for guarding the power of the sun, and of course, he is also responsible for guarding this mysterious light, which is the hero of the thousand-year-old legend, the man who is about to create the world.
