Prologue: Legends and legends

Next Chapter

Before the first awakening of chaos, heaven and earth became one. In this spherical space, eternity is the only thing that exists.

Time doesn't mean anything here, a second or 10,000 years, they're almost equal.

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of years have passed. Finally, chaos awoke, and the legend was born.

……

……

According to legend, at the beginning of chaos and the beginning of the cracks of heaven and earth. Life was born in this chaotic space, and for the first time, time had a meaning here, and eternity was broken.

Over time, the creatures on the continent have evolved in order to survive. All kinds of creatures appeared on the continent, including people.

Birds and beasts, because of the wood.

On this unknown continent, there is abundant spiritual energy everywhere. And these auras also enable the creatures on the continent to reproduce endlessly.

Human beings and creatures on the continent are frantically absorbing the aura between heaven and earth. They never knew what the consequences would be.

Finally, one day, it appeared.

……

With a rumbling sound, it was as if the sky was about to fall. Thunder and lightning flashed outside the clouds, and dark clouds covered the entire sky. The sun was shattered in an instant, and all that was left was boundless blackness.

In this boundless darkness, lightning is the only light. It is precisely through this only light that people vaguely see its figure.

Its gigantic body, wandering among the dark clouds, hovered within the clouds.

Suddenly, above the clouds that separated the heavens and the earth, a circle of ripples rippled. The black ripples quickly dispersed to the surrounding area, and new ones were born one after another. After one swings, there is another again.

Above the dark clouds, two black branches slowly pierced out from the inside of the dark clouds. As soon as the clouds emerged, the well-mouth-thick branches quickly vibrated and stirred the clouds, and then disappeared into the clouds.

After the branches disappeared, the clouds suddenly fluctuated and rolled, as if there was a force, sucking.

Then the huge branches reappeared, this time completely exposed to the clouds. Only then did people realize that this was not a branch, but two tentacles.

Beneath the tentacles, a giant peak-like dark head slowly emerged from the clouds. With each breath, the air around it distorted visibly with the naked eye.

On top of the giant peak, two brown eyes are like two moons hanging in the sky. The black light of the week is like dawn.

Boundless fear struck like a flood. This creature, which would later be known as the dragon, appeared on this continent.

The dragon stared motionlessly down at the world in front of it, at the creatures it couldn't even see. Then it lowered its head and let out its roar at the tiny creatures beneath it.

The dragon's roar drowned out the previous rumble, and the sound of the lightning bolt. This roar seemed to crack the earthquake of this day.

In an instant, the mountains shook, and the river churned as if it was boiling. Before people could break free from their fear, the next second they were crushed by the collapsed building.

The surviving people ran like crazy, as did the birds and animals in the mountains and forests. The cries and the wails of countless animals, accompanied by the sound of the mountain collapsing, spread across the continent.

Finally, the dragon stopped roaring. It raised its head and took a deep breath, sucking all the clouds around it into its belly.

The dragon looked at the wriggling black dots in front of him, and showed no pity. It opened its mouth again, and a chill rushed through its body. It then transforms into a visible ice ballast, spitting out in the direction of the black dot.

The silence is like a mountain flower that quietly blooms, and it comes silently like a raging plague. An ice field, quietly born.

The dragon stared at the full moon in its eyes, watching the ice field in front of him no longer move, and let out a long groan of satisfaction.

Its eyes are full of arrogance and disdain, as if it is the master of heaven and earth.

With this long dragon groan, the dragon disappeared into the nine heavens.

The sun appeared in the sky again, the sky was still completely blue, and the clouds were still white and clean.

Looking up at the sky, it was as if nothing had happened on this continent. And when you lower your head, the frozen waves are like dragon's breath. The frozen home is also the shape of the dragon's breath. And under the ice crystals, there are living beings.

……

……

I don't know how long it took for the continent to finally regain its original vitality, but the dragons came more often. And every time it comes, it means disaster.

Over the millennia, dragons have descended several times. People and the creatures of the continent have also slowly learned more about the dragon. It is known that it is gradually aging. The catastrophe brought by the dragon was no longer devastating, and people began to provoke it.

With the continuous exploration of human beings and the creatures on this continent, the aura on the continent has gradually been exploited. For the first time, people learned the reason why dragons were able to call the wind and rain. At the same time, civilization is also born among human beings.

The emergence of civilization has brought mankind into a period of rapid development. Humans are beginning to be able to grasp the power of nature like dragons with the help of the aura of heaven and earth. And the way to master this power is called Tao.

And on the mainland, there are also some beasts who also master the "Dao". They were also able to absorb the aura of the weather and use their own Dao to cultivate.

……

After thousands of years of evolution, human beings have evolved a higher intelligence, and their understanding of the continent is close to rudimentary. They felt that the dragon should not be the only master of the continent. They even felt that it was the dragon that was sharing the aura of heaven and earth with them.

So, the leader of the human race crossed the highest mountain in the land and found the orcs, who also possessed high intelligence, and they gathered together to discuss. As a result, the Terrans and Orcs have made friends, and together they will take on their common enemy, the dragon.

When the dragon came again, it was still so arrogant. Although there was a slight amount of mottling visible on top of its mountain-like head.

It's still the biting dragon's breath, it's still the deafening roar. This time, however, there was no such thing as an ice-shattering sight. There is an invisible barrier forged by countless human and beast races.

The dragon was stunned by what it saw, but the next moment, it turned all its surprise into anger. It plunged headlong into the clouds, writhing wildly in the clouds. Its brown eyes burned fiery red, and the clouds that shone around it burned fiery red. The sky seemed to be burning.

The dragon poked its head out again, opening its mouth and spewing fire. The fierce flames rushed towards the invisible barrier with great speed. The barrier was instantly burned out of holes large and small, like a broken net.

The dragon stared at the hole-filled barrier and let out a low growl, as if to assert its majesty.

However, to its surprise, this broken giant net is being repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye until it is restored to its original state. The dragon attacked again, but the outcome remained the same.

The enraged dragon burrowed out of the clouds and tore at the web with its razor-sharp claws. But the dragon's claws, which are usually enough to shatter a mountain peak, are now unable to tear through the seemingly paper-thin barrier in front of them.

It doesn't want to believe that it has infinite wisdom, even though it also knows that it is about to grow old. But it still couldn't accept the scene in front of it, and it continued to beat against the invisible barrier in front of it. Again and again, but the freshly torn hole will be repaired in an instant.

It's moving slower and slower, it's getting less and less forceful, and it's getting tired. Just as it was about to turn and plunge headlong into the clouds, something restrained it.

An equally invisible rope was bound to its dragon claws, and it watched in amazement and even forgot to struggle. Soon, the second and third appeared one after another. In the end, even the dragon's head was bound by invisible ropes, and it began to struggle frantically, writhing its body. But no matter how much it struggles, it won't help.

It stopped struggling because it really had no strength. It was slowly dragged out of the clouds and suspended in the sky out of thin air.

However, the battle was not over, and dark clouds began to gather in the sky, which was the most familiar to it.

Dark clouds swirled overhead, and from time to time there was a rumbling sound from within. Its eyes widened, filled with surprise. However, it was too late, and with a dazzling light, a thunderbolt fell.

Then, the second, the third...

The pain was so great that it let out a heart-rending roar. It began to writhe desperately, and bright yellow dots of light began to glow around its body. The point of light gradually enlarged, and the dark dragon was gradually enveloped in this bright yellow light, making it impossible to look directly.

The sun shines so brightly on the continent that people can't even open their eyes.

When people opened their eyes again, the clear sky was empty. As if the dragon had never appeared, it was not known if it had really disappeared.

……

……

I don't know how many years have passed, and the dragon has never appeared again. Later generations began to suspect that this was just a legend, and there were many theories about what the dragon looked like. Some say that one leg is as high as a mountain; Others say that it is only its shadow.

What remains unchanged, however, is that the continent has not returned to true tranquility. Humans and Orcs, after a brief period of peace. In order to compete for the heaven and earth aura of the mainland, there are more and more contradictions, and war will follow.

For thousands of years, there has been constant war between humans and beasts. Different civilizations and different understandings of the Tao have led to greater and greater divisions between races. Humans no longer call their enemies orcs, but demons. They feel that they are insatiable and cruel, and they see them as the embodiment of evil.

In the end, a devastating war broke out between humans and demons, and the remnants of the defeated demons retreated to the giant peak and disappeared.

The victorious Terrans were also devastated, and the Terrans split into two different sects. One continues to pursue the way of heaven and ascends to immortality. One began to study the roots of human beings, the beginning of martial arts.

Time flies, the sun and the moon change.

As time passed, people gradually blurred their impression of demons. Just like the original legend of the dragon, the demon race has gradually become a legend. Only the place where there are still traces of war, the misty forest that will not disperse the green fog all year round, is still lonely telling the story of the war.

But so what's the matter, people on the mainland today are lost in the pursuit of "Tao" and power. This unknown continent also has its own name for the first time, and people call him Xuanwu Continent.

No one cares if those legends actually existed, just as no one cares if they come back.

It wasn't until hundreds of years later that a new legend arose on the continent.
