Chapter 13 History of the Continent
Thousands of years ago, this continent was densely forested and full of monsters, and weak humans could only survive at the southernmost tip of the continent. Humans multiply faster than any monster, and eventually split into five tribes. The five tribes are separated by a distance of 100 miles and are distributed in a fan-shaped shape at the southern end of the continent, advancing and retreating together, but each has its own beliefs. These five tribes are the Yan Clan, which is located in the southwesternmost part of the continent and respects fire, the Shi Clan, which has the power to urge the earth element, and further east, there are the Moon Clan, which has the power of the water element, the Qing Clan, which has the power of the wind element, and the Lin Clan, who have established the world with physical martial arts.
At that time, the ability of human beings was too small, and they could only hunt some weak monsters for food. The five tribes help each other and communicate with each other. With the rare marriage between tribes, different surnames also appeared in various tribes, which was also a need for human development.
Humanity's ability to learn and create is so strong that in just a few hundred years, it has been able to build a strong defense against the onslaught of powerful monsters. Security has been effectively guaranteed, and human development has been able to grow rapidly. With the improvement of human strength, they can finally set foot in a wider territory of demon beasts and hunt more powerful demon beasts.
However, the beginning of the real human era was hundreds of years later.
A powerful man came to the Moon Clan of the five tribes, and he was followed by a fierce-looking demon beast. The demon beast was the size of a flame lion, but its hair was as white as snow, a pair of blood-red copper bell eyes full of bloodthirsty desire, and a tuft of extremely black hair at the end of its tail. This ferocious monster was obedient to the man. Since then, humans have learned that demon beasts can be adopted as their war pets to help them fight. This strange man was the Ancestor Emperor who was later honored by the five major tribes, and it was precisely because of his arrival that the peak era of mankind was completely opened.
Although the Ancestor Emperor was in the territory of the Moon Clan, he led his war pets and the elite of the Moon Clan, and it only took a year to wipe out the powerful demon beasts around the five tribes for nearly a thousand miles, completely ensuring the safety of the five tribes. Seeing the strong strength of the Ancestor Emperor, the five major tribes offered heavy treasures and beauties, all hoping that the Ancestor Emperor could stay in their tribe.
However, the Emperor of the Heavenly Ancestors, who seemed to be the Celestial Beings, fell in love with the princess of the Moon Clan at first sight, and turned a blind eye to the beauties offered by other races. The patriarch of the Moon Clan was overjoyed and held a solemn wedding for them.
The Ancestor Emperor did not limit his generosity because of this, he carefully taught the five tribes more advanced techniques, and at the same time, he also taught all the people of the five tribes how to subdue the demon beast and become his own war pet.
Later, the Ancestor Emperor selected a talented and intelligent person from each of the four clans except the Yue Clan to accept him as a servant, and even broke through the shackles of their flesh through secret methods, so that the strength of these four people increased by leaps and bounds, and soon surpassed the strongest person in the original clan.
The great unity of mankind ended the original state of stragglers, with the seat of the ancestor emperor, the alliance of the five tribes quickly advanced northward, and after hundreds of years of reproduction and development, completely occupied one-third of the continent. The first empire in the history of mankind, the Ice God Empire, was also born.
With a comfortable living environment, the reproductive ability of human beings was thoroughly reflected, and a wide range of intermarriages between various tribes completely broke the boundaries between the original tribes. Human society has entered the first period of rapid development, and various technologies and techniques have been continuously invented and discovered by human beings, and all walks of life have risen rapidly.
At the beginning of the empire, the Ancestor Emperor only led his four servants and war pets to the depths of the Demon Beast Forest. With his superb strength, he killed and expelled a large number of powerful demon beasts, completely ensuring the safety of the residents of the Ice God Empire.
The ancestor who returned to the empire directly led most of the people of the five tribes through the Amethyst Mountains that stretched for thousands of miles, and advanced to the center of this continent, where he began to establish the imperial capital of the Ice God Empire - Ice City.
The Imperial Capital Ice City was built, and the surrounding forests were rapidly developed, becoming fertile land for human beings. The Patriarch the Great divided his four servants, and the two servants of the Qing and Shi tribes were divided into the southeast and southwest directions of the empire, leading their assigned people to completely clear and develop the acquired land. The servants of the Yan and Lin clans each led a strong group to advance into the northeast and northwest of the ice city, establish a city, echo the ice city, prevent the impact of a wide range of demon beasts, and defend the fruits of human victory. Since then, the geographical pattern of human society has been divided.
"Speaking of which, you should know where you come from, right?" asked Liu Xin as she asked the two children opposite.
"Aren't we the descendants of the Moon Clan?" Xuan'er and Yue'er looked at each other and guessed.
"Yes, we are the descendants of the Moon Clan. After the imperial capital was built, the ancestor emperor recruited those people of the Yue tribe who had been following him but never married with foreign tribes into the palace, and left them in the palace in the name of serving the ancestors and the emperor. And those people who intermarried with various ethnic groups also contributed to the construction of the emperor, and the ancestors also gave them the outer city in the ice city to live in. Liu Xin said proudly.
The princess of the Moon Clan only gave birth to a son and a daughter in her life, but the Ancestor Emperor still had a soft spot and rejected the beauties from all over the world. In the huge palace, there are only a few people of the Yue clan and a family of four of the ancestor emperor, but the atmosphere of life is happy.
The strength and longevity of human beings cannot be compared with that of the Ancestor Emperor, and two hundred years after the completion of the Ice City, the lifespan of the Moon Clan Princess has also come to an end. Heartbroken, the Emperor passed on his throne as Ice Emperor to his son, and then carried the princess's corpse in his arms and his war pet into the mountains north of the palace.
Another 300 years later, the sudden arrival of the Ancestor Emperor brought a group of elves. He decreed that the Panzel Lake, the territory to the southwest of the Stone Clan's minions, was given to the Elves to live in for generations. The Patriarch the Great also personally set up a powerful phantom array in the forest on the outskirts of Lake Pansel, and human beings who had no way to do it would never be able to cross the forest to reach Lake Panzel.
Perhaps in order to save this group of elves, they encountered a strong opponent, and the war pet of the Ancestor Emperor had already died in battle. The Emperor fused the exquisite alchemy technique, fused the broken crystal nucleus of the war pet with the crown of the representative of the imperial power, and refined a necklace from the remaining small crystal nucleus, which was given to the princess at that time, and instructed it to be passed on from generation to generation.
The Patriarch Emperor also set up a tomb for his war pet in the back mountain, on the side of the tomb of the princess of the Moon Clan. He ordered people to build a large hall on the top of the mountain not far away, and set up a guardian formation with his own hands. This back mountain is where the temple of our moon clan is located, and the emperors and princesses of the following dynasties have arranged their tombs under the tomb of the princess of the moon clan, and the tablets are enshrined in the temple. As for the rest of the Yue people in the palace, the ancestor emperor also pardoned them, and they could put the tomb at the foot of the back mountain.
When the Ancestor Emperor was leaving, he taught the secret method he had given to the four servants to improve their strength to the patriarch of the Moon Clan at that time, and established the Shadow Guard, which was controlled by generations of patriarchs to guard the safety of the royal family.
Since then, the Ancestor Emperor has left human society and has never appeared again, in order to commemorate the unsurpassed contribution of the Ancestor to human society, the people of the Moon Clan have changed their titles. Since then, the title of the Moon Clan has completely withdrawn from the stage of the times, and a new race has been known to the world, which is now the Ice Clan.
