Before the Age of Fire, everything was shrouded in gray mist. There are no 'concepts' of space and time, and the grey mist transcends time. Grey rocks, towering ancient trees, and immortal dragons are everywhere, and this era is known as the Age of Gray Mist.

The Immortal Ancient Dragon was born before nothingness, high above the original ancient tree, and is the supreme being above everything. They possess invincible immortal abilities and supreme primordial power, and they are the ancient overlords of primordial chaos!

Until one day, the Initial Fire was ignited in the gray mist, and several species born from the darkness found the king's soul around the fire.

This ushered in the era of flames banishing chaos and gods facing off against ancient dragons.

The Sun King Gwen leads the Silver Knights and the Tomb King Nit, the witch of Izaris, to start a dragon hunting war.

The scaleless White Dragon Hiss betrayed the Elder Dragon, who betrayed the secret of the Elder Dragon's immortality to the gods.

Eventually, the Immortal Elder Dragons ushered in their end.

Gwen and his knights condensed a thunderbolt that pierced through the scales of the ancient dragon.

Nite unleashed a miasma of death, causing the ancient dragons' naked bodies to decay, giving them a true death.

The Old Witch and her daughters unleashed a storm of flames that swept the world, wantonly burning the towering ancient trees where the ancient dragons lived.

In the end, the dragon hunting war ended in the victory of the gods, and the immortal dragons were nearly completely extinct.

Only the black dragon Kelamit, who wielded the power of calamity, and the betrayer, the scaleless white dragon Hiss, survived.

The end of the Dragon Hunting War also heralded the beginning of the Age of Fire.

The gods reigned high in Arnorlund, and the witches ruled over Izaris...... Represented by these two, the power and brilliance of the flames spread to all corners of the world, their deeds became legends, and faith forged miracles, thus creating a brilliant civilization!

But the fire will eventually be extinguished!

Light cannot shine on the world, and if the night continues endlessly, there will be only darkness left in the world.

The cursed Ring of Darkness began to spread among the crowd.

The Tomb King was indifferent, he did not yearn for the light, but gave all his power to death, waiting for the darkness to come.

The old witch wants to recreate the first fire out of chaos, just as a mortal tries to get his hands on the power of the gods, arrogant and ignorant.

The out-of-control chaos devoured the old witch, and there was no more old witch of Izaris in the world, only the hotbed of chaos. Countless demons were born out of chaos, and Izaris, who was once as famous as Arnorlund, was completely transformed into a paradise of chaos and demons.

And the flames are still extinguished, and darkness is coming.

Eventually, the original god Gwen created his own way of salvation - fire.

He led the knights to the furnace of the First Fire, and with his royal soul as a guide, the First Fire continued to burn!

Since then, there is no Sun King Gewen in the world, only the 'initial salary king' Gewen.

However.

Gwen's transmission of fire allowed the light to last for thousands of years, but it could not make the first fire burn endlessly. The gods, who had shared in his power, did not inherit his will, and they left Arnorlund to rule over the nations on earth.

They indulged in pleasures, but none of them set foot on the road of spreading fire, just doing the last revelry.

The cursed undead took on the responsibility of spreading fire, and they began to hunt the gods, hunt their souls, and eventually embark on the path of spreading fire—

They are known as the Salary King, the King of the Age of Fire who uses the soul as firewood!

However, as more and more souls are thrown into the initial fire, there are fewer and fewer souls left to burn.

After a long time, the first fire became weaker and weaker, and the world fell into darkness several times.

The undead can no longer carry the burden of carrying the fire, and the souls that remain of time are no longer enough to continue the flames. Therefore, the bell of the sacrificial ground had to wake up the kings who had once spread the fire, and they needed to take on the responsibility of the first fire again.

However, the Salary Kings have abandoned their duties, and obsession drives them to complete their unfulfilled mission.

The Giant King Yum returns to the City of Sin, but all he sees is the City of Sin, baptized by the fire of sin.

The Fran Immortals return to the Farran Fortress, where they attempt to suppress the Rising Abyss once again, only to find themselves sadly eroded by the Abyss.

The notorious Devourer, Eldridge is seduced by Pope Saliwan to devour King Gwynn's youngest son, Gwendrin the Shadow Sun.

The fire has gradually been extinguished, but the king's shadow is gone, and the ashes without fire will come one after another!

The former kings had their own obsessions, and they abandoned the mission of spreading fire. But they will eventually be brought back to the throne by the embers, and that is the purpose of the embers—the ashes of the fireless crave fire at all times.

However, all this is meaningless.

The flames will be extinguished, and the age of fire will come to an end.

Chaos and darkness will once again sweep the world.

All Ember did was a futile struggle.

Therefore, He also gave up the mission of spreading fire, and He denied the meaning of spreading fire.

Darkness and light are twins, and the world cannot remain bright forever, nor will it fall into darkness forever.

The extinguishing of the first flame is only a store of firewood, and he will eventually burn again and spread light to the world.

So, Ember chose to extinguish the fire (usurp).

The flame was extinguished, and the world entered its predetermined destiny.

Darkness and chaos swept in, this is the age of the deep sea, and it is also the era of chaos.

Creatures struggle to survive in the dark, and chaos and madness reign supreme.

But in the midst of the chaos, the spark of hope has been quietly nurtured.

At this moment, darkness and light are no longer opposites, they are two sides of the same world.

Light and darkness alternate, day and night alternate, and the world is about to enter a new era.

When the first rays of light pierced the darkness, the first fire was ignited and the fire was spread.

But the dawn of dawn has not completely expelled chaos, it needs to complete its coexistence with the night, and chaos is still the main tone of the world.

And in the darkness, some creatures have obtained these scattered fires, just like the Sun King Gwen, who obtained the soul of the king in the dark!

But the Age of Chaos is over, and the world has entered a new era of darkness -

During this period, civilization re-emerged and thrived under the nourishment of life and fire, but it was not human beings who ruled this era.

Bloods, giants, dragons, immortal birds, wolves, elves, xenos, and demons that have survived since time immemorial, the eight transcendent races rule the sky, sea, and earth under the protection of their ancient gods.

They are fighting each other, and wars are breaking out all the time. And human beings are only vassals of the transcendent race, struggling to survive in misery.

But even humans have their own gods.

The goddess of the night loves humans, and from then on darkness is no longer the enemy of humans, and the gods protect humans in the night.

The God of Knowledge and Wisdom has given mankind enlightenment and allowed humanity to develop a civilization that will free it from the slavery of a transcendent race.

Mother Earth God has given humans the land to thrive, allowing the human race to grow rapidly.

The Lord of the Storm uses lightning to banish demons and protect human civilization.

……

But after all, human beings are too weak, and they have never been able to truly compete with those naturally powerful transcendent races.

Until the first blasphemous stone tablet was born from the first fire, giving mankind the path to the transcendent.

Under the protection of the gods, under the guidance of the blasphemous stone tablets, the human race flourished, they defeated the transcendent races that once ruled the world one by one, more and more gods began to protect the human race, and the human race truly became the master of the world, ushering in the beginning of the Tertiary Age'.

After a long time, mankind has finally stepped onto the stage of history for the first time.

But human civilization is not all smooth sailing, and the forces of chaos are secretly coveted. Despite the protection of many gods, humanity still ushered in a cataclysm in the Third Age. It wasn't until the second blasphemous tablet was born that all this chaos came to an end and a new era began—the Age of the Gods.

The gods often come down to give shelter and enlightenment to mankind.

But chaos is still eyeing each other, and some of the beings born out of chaos are coveting reality and the power of the first fire, and they will eventually make a comeback. In order to better protect humanity, the gods had to move the kingdom of God to the astral plane to fight against the evil spirits who coveted the world, and the world entered the age of black iron.

And now, it is the year 1351 of the Fifth Age.

The gods still shelter humanity, but they are not a family, but they have all kinds of contradictions. These contradictions drove their followers to war after war, and even the gods fell!

The most warlike gods of war, the proudest of the eternal sun, they all died because of it.

But for the gods, the fall of the gods does not mean the end.

Humanity will not stop fighting against each other, they will still fight for their gods and their faith.

This is the only lesson that history has taught humanity – that humanity never learns anything.

——

Beckland, Queens, inside the luxury villa of the Earl of Deere's family.

Early in the morning, Furth, who had woken up from his sleep, came to the living room and muttered:

"It's just like the real thing."

She had been dreaming for a month, and it had almost convinced her that this was the real history—even though some of the stories had been written by her, but Furth still believed in the legends.

Of course, Forthth was still skeptical.

But what she doubts is not the authenticity of history, but that it is the real history, only obscured by the gods of the past, and that Mr. Fool or Ember is the truly ancient god who survived that old era.

They are not falsifying history, they are restoring everything that has happened in this world!

And what she did was not a blasphemy against the gods, but under the guidance of the gods, she gave enlightenment to mankind.

Thinking about it like this, Furth's mood immediately improved a lot.

Hearing Firth's self-talk, a richly dressed middle-aged lady in the restaurant looked solemn and said solemnly:

"Miss Furth, it's not a dream, it's a revelation from the gods!"

Her expression was extremely religious, and her chest was dotted with stars.

This lady was Hugh's mother, and since Hugh successfully overturned her father's case, the Deere family was able to return to the aristocratic circle of Belland. And Hugh had been awarded the title by the king himself a while ago, and now he is a count with a fief!

Hugh didn't need to return to his hometown, but took his mother and brother to the royal capital, and bought the villa, which, by the way, belonged to a viscount who had been caught by MI9 for collaborating with enemy countries during the war.

In fact, he was far from alone in the aristocracy of the enemy country at that time, and even Count Hall was secretly contacting relatives in the Republic of Intis in the hope of saving his life after the war. But the viscount was too obvious and too rough, and that was why Hugh was caught.

George IV was so furious that he did not hesitate to set the hapless viscount as a model and directly ordered the death penalty in public, and it was Hugh who was responsible for carrying out this order at that time - from arrest to raiding the house to beheading, she single-handedly copied it.

That's why this villa was bought by her at a very low price and became the new residence of the Earl of Deere.

Of course, the viscount's estate in the suburbs was also bought, and even its original fief now belonged to Hugh, and it was expanded considerably. Hugh knew of course that this was the king's careful thinking, and he didn't want Hugh to have too good a relationship with other nobles in charge of MI9, and in this way he would obviously be able to cope with a large part of the old nobles.

Foirth earnestly explains:

"In fact, I also believe that these are divine revelations."

But the gods she believed in weren't the goddess of the night, they were fools and embers.

These things were the first to be proposed by Ember, the Fool was his first partner, and the existence of the Goddess of the Night could only be regarded as the second echelon.

In the eyes of ordinary people, beings such as the Goddess of the Night are obviously more worthy of awe than unknown fools, but in the eyes of Firth, the weight of the Goddess of the Night is obviously no compared to the Fool and the Ember - both of these are true gods, even higher beings above the gods!

This conclusion was concluded by her observation in the Tarot Society.

It's not just her who thinks so, everyone else thinks so too.

Of course, this does not mean that Folsi Hui is not revered by the gods, whose power is still worthy of awe, but not as sacrosanct as before.

For example, the Lord of the Storm.

Of all the gods, this one is currently the lowest. It can be seen from the positioning of these people in the dream that the others are indispensable, but the Storm Lord has a relatively low evaluation, and what he can do can be done by other gods, and the role of other gods, whether it is enlightening humans or sheltering humans in the night, is irreplaceable by the Lord of Storms.

This is not to say that the Lord of the Storm is really useless, but it just means that the Lord of the Storm is not firm, so his evaluation in the dream is only slightly better than that of the Lord of Steam.

"What are you talking about?" Hugh came out of the room and asked a little strangely.

"Last night's dream." Furth said succinctly.

Hugh pondered, her gaze fell on the dining table, her brother Lo. Dill was eating breakfast while reciting the words of the Gufsak language, a prerequisite for studying law and becoming a lawyer.

Her mother was instructing two servants to remember to clean the garden. (End of chapter)
