After Goddess Eich created the world, Goddess of Order Astrya and Goddess of Chaos Cynthia created the first generation of dwellers Ever since then, the war between Order and Chaos beca theme of this world
When the 2 equally powerful Goddess overexerted themselves, and fell into a deep slumber concurrently, the reht the war for theht each other to extinction, the Moon Elves, representing the Silver Tribe and the Giants, representing the Mercury Race, continued the war of souls
This war had never stopped ever since the inception of the world
When the Order suppresses the Chaos, a relatively stable era of Order begins On the other hand, if the Chaos ins A change in era could represent the rise and fall of innumerable races
The future 7 Trials are more or less related to this eternal war Or rather, it could even be considered an extension of the eternal war
When the 2nd Generation Goddesses fell into a deep sleep after their fight, it was rumored that they were dead Astrya’s subordinate, the God of Light, also the God who singlehandedly created the Holy Light, became the core of the 3rd Generation Order Gods
Of course, just like every ruler who got on the throne, he quickly got the reatness of Holy Light, reatness of the ruler of the previous generation
As for the Chaos Faction, due to the fact that they regard violence and freedom as a virtue, to date, they have yet to decide on a boss… But their absolute power had always been a tier higher than the Order Faction After all, in the Chaos Faction where power reigns supreme, those who remain weak cannot survive
Furtherel Civilization, becaels became the servants of Gods, the First-Generation De in the Abyss and occasionally, they cause some trouble on the Main Continent as well
It is to the extent that the Order Faction only has 7 Main Gods whereas the Chaos Faction has a total of 13 Main God-level existences having only 7 Main Gods on the Order Faction, the Chaos Faction has a total of 13 Main God-level existence If they were to unite together, perhaps, only the Goddess of Chaos Cynthia would reappear in the world onceof Eich’s hell In the gaamer, before their birth, must choose between the two and their choice is perain
The war between the two Factions has continued since ancient times till today Each of theh more often than not, it was the Order Faction that held the upper hand
Well, everyone should understand the reason Since they are living by the prile and since you can’t be stronger thanon the throne instead of you? Alright, it ends up in an internal strife When battling outsiders, they to drag each other down, causing theth
The Sulfur Race and Golden Tribe are exceptionally strong Even the weakest of their grown individual is at ns aren’t any weaker than true Gods Due to the nature of the Chaos Faction, Chaos beings tend to be er than their Order counterparts of equal power rank
Even so, they are still equals in war Eventually, after many wars, 90 and above of the Sulfur Tribes and Golden Tribes fell in battle The Ele the plausible threat of the extinction of their species, were unwilling to continue acting as pawns for the war So, they started walking together secretly and for themselves from this eternal ‘Sacred War’
Under the perseverance of the Gods of both faction, as well as to continue fighting on… The high-tier Elves replicated their body structure to create the Wood Elves, Moon Elves, Night Elves, Silver Elves and siels have created the First Generation of Mountainous Hurown form, have the battle power of a Silver-rank at a minimum and thus, they were named the Silver Tribe
Naturally, when there is an injection of new blood on one faction while the other’s population were gradually dwindling due to war, the scales of war began to tilt
Then, the Sulfur Race eren’t adept in creationish offering strength, longevity and knowledge as incentives, ed to successfully tempt the First-Generation Humans, the Mountainous Tribes, to join the Chaos Faction Now, they are known as the dwellers of the Abyss of hell — Devils
Of course, after the incident, the Devils and Demons started an endless bloodshed to vie for the crown of evil, retful of their decision then But again, it was their fall to depravity that strengthened the battle power of the Chaos Faction significantly back then
After tasting the sweetness, they successfully lured Fallen Angels, Red Dragons, Black Dragons, Fire Giants and Giant Devils to join their ranks These new races formed the Mercury Tribe and became the arch-enemy of the Silver Tribe
The betrayal of the first intelligent hue the First-Generation Humans Eventually, the Second-Generation Humans, which is the hueneration of huned to use as pawns
Compared to the other tribes in the past, they are extremely weak individually and their lifespan is exceptionally short What the creators was hoping to e even if they were to turn their back on theed the entire flow of the battle
Weak at birth? This provided the weapons, studying ic and such They studiedfroic from the Elves
Short lifespan? This made them cherish their tie, their footsteps reach even Heaven, hell and many other dimensions
Furtherer a race is, the harder it is for them to reproduce In comparison, the weak humans have fearsome reproduction ability
Basically, once the nueniuses who could face the Gods and De countless wars, when the age of the Giant Devils finally cas predominantly to the humans now is the best proof
The powerful existences in the Chaos Faction weren’t just for decorations as well They were still unable to create living beings but they are capable of twisting the laws of the world… Thus, the Ancient Huo crawls out from his tombstone, powered not by stamina or blood pulse but by the endless Power of Death
He was the first Undead, as well as the oldest Death God Ayer
For a significant period of time, Undead served as a tool of war for De their blades towards their closest kin mercilessly
TL: Malevolent Gods refers to Gods of the Chaos Faction
I must say that the bloodthirsty Undead who crave for the souls of the living to fill their void are a convenient tool of war They do not fear death and their numbers are endless
No one would wish for their own brethren to be reduced to simply pawns and tools of war So, Death God Ayer secretly granted the intelligence of the Devils to his own brethren Even though only Undead ere Silver-rank and above could possess the ability to think, this was enough to create the earliest Undead Lords Under the coht fearlessly for them
Since they weren’t even afraid of death, why should they accept slavery?
Alright, so what happened afteras the betrayal of the entire race
As seen from the Xiluo Empire now, the Undead are an independent race Often, there are huevity, they convert themselves to an immortal Undead and the core of the Undead race — Lich was born like this
The never-ending war between Order and Chaos is so not even the dead could escape from Upon death, the souls of those who believes in the Gods of Order would be sent to the Heaven Real would have a chance to beco for them As for the faithless, cultists and evil, their souls would flow along the River Styx through the Abyss and hell There is a possibility that they ht be converted into a Devil or Demon at any time and climb up to shore
The War of Dimensions between the Abyss and the Heaven Realm, the eternal war between the Order Faction and Chaos Faction continues to function as a never-endingmachine
For the player, this is not only the past history but also the storyline for the future plot
Once you choose a Faction and join the world, endless wars and calamities would follow by your side
Eich’s Seven Trials, the first 2 trials are problems which could be solved internally by humans At that point in time, on the Surface World, Silver-ranks are sufficient to serve as theforce When the 3rd Trial, The Undead Calamity, and the 4th trial, The Return of the Deins, the ould have escalated to the point the Golden Tribes would interfere directly in the war At this point, the Gold-rank huher tier pawns
Notthe 5th and 6th for now, the 7th Trial, also the final Trial, is the revival of the 2 Goddesses The ancient history would then play out once again At that tith of the Seher quality cannon fodder
When that ti directly on the ain The Foreign Din races would turn this entire world into a living hell
As for why the reason why there isn’t an 8th trial, when the world has been cut into 3000 pieces or more, that isn’t important anymore…
No wonder Seers would tend to be eccentric How can I take it lying when I know that a future of a doo…?
Perhaps, I becameus in the future I pursued power in a frenzy, slaughtered in a frenzy and used er Game System to i so, I co by that principle of ed, I’m afraid that the first one that should be burnt on a stake is ue rets Besides… I seem to found a way to divert the course of the world and have done much in preparation for it
In this moment, the time that I have waited so patiently to come is probably here The main storyline mentioned in the System Notice also represents the start of the 1st Trial ‘Whisper of the Deinal ‘history’, also represents the point when players entered the gae the fate of this world
If it was just like what the strangely prag, you hold the future in your hands’, then the cause 7 Trials probably have sohted and foolish players
The one who opened the seal to the Abyss that allowed the Demons and Devils to roam the mortal world is a bunch of player reed Furthernited the Calaued the entire world was, in fact, an invasion by an Undead Lord player
The irresponsible otherworldly visitors fight for the sake of gold coins and equipinal inhabitants as puppets to fool to extract their re the hard-to-survive calamities into an impossible-to-survive hell
Of course, for the world to continue ht the war and sacrificed the their accounts deleted as a result, were also this bunch of otherworldly guests
This tiamers who hold the future in their hands The only one who can change the future is me, a defective Skeleton Beholder
“I swear to reverse cause and effect, change the course of fate and bring the populace safely out of the calaht, after a bunch of crap, I believe that everyone is sick and tired of the settings and background Let’s get back to so tih these cala loop of the Eternal War
“Holy Light huh?”
The Holy Light which conquers over 30 of the world’s believers becaht have indeed fulfilled his est God However, due to the excessive influx of faith, he was assi hih to understand? It is like an old PC downloading the entire internet’s data at one go, causing the CPU to explode The entire syste only the hardware to operate
Un, the God of Light is that PC which exploded He is only now instinctively rams whereas his owner has already disconnected On the other hand, as he represents the Concept itself, losing his owner er
As Concept Gods too, the ‘great’ Mother of Earth and ‘wise’ Goddess of Magic are incredibly powerful Gods But, other than providing power to their own believers, they don’t even have a sense of self, thus depriving them of the ability to interfere with the world
“Any child of Order orshi+ps the light has the authority to wield the Holy Light”
This dictuht seem sacred but in actuality, it is just awith the prerequisites to use Holy Light There are two prerequisites to using Holy Light and anyone who fulfills these requirements are able to utilize it Firstly, he must be of an Order bloodline and secondly, he ht, my experiments have proven that it is just a load of bull Even a De the body of a hu as you brainwash hi ht
Just the Holy Light itself isn’t sufficient for ht is a Lower Concept of Order Its key Concept revolves around ‘Cleanse’ That’s to say, it causes everything to proceed on naturally along the laws of the world So, existences that defy these laws, such as the Undead who defied the laws of death and the Demons and Devils who are children of Chaos, are naturally its arch-eneht is indeed the nemesis of these two Chaos lifeforht to pursue peace and har about world peace Anyway, the result of it is destroying all of their ene history has proven that it is impossible to completely wipe out a faction Order and Chaos can’t destroy each other totally After a short-lived victory, a eance would soon follow suit
Since destroying the other faction is i is the only plausible solution… Getting along with the completely unreasonable Chaos lifeforms? If ere to spread out that I said this, then I would have really proven true my honorary title of ‘The Lich whose head was dunked in water Roland’
“If only there was a boundary, a boundary that everyone would acknowledge”
This is ree countries in al career I passionately worked in in ht, since I’ trapped Sulfur Mountain City, why don’t I just give it a shot? There’s nothing to lose anyway”
Thus, ‘ding ding dang‘, the Supre’, the 4 Halls were erected ‘Ding ding ding‘, the entire legal system has been formed…
So, when the thick notebook which I filled with different laas soin of Order and becain of Codex, the Power of Law also rises to becoht The one who found it hardest to believe that these all had happened isstate of disbelief, I fell into a state of uncontrollable frenzied laughter and intense joy… Then, laughing and laughing, I started crying I don’t even recall how long had I been in a state of led…
“Hahahahaha, so the solution was so easy after all For an entire 300 years, I had been walking in circles To think that the key would be on me from the very start” After countless failures, this is the first tiht is ‘Cleanse’, putting everything back to the order they belong to The core of my Power of Law is ‘Equality’ Every life has their own reason of existence and order Even Chaos itself is a twisted for as both parties ithin the boundaries they agree on, then coexistence could be possible
This boundary is the basis of the Power of Law
“Those who bypass these boundaries will be punished and even sentenced to death Regardless of his identity, strength and race, in the face of the scale of law, everyone is equal
The first Power of Law is si around the concept of an eye for an eye It is very crude and hard to control, wounding both the opponent and the user Fortunately, as long asI a inthe core principles, the current Power of Law is getting closer and closer to the ‘Laws of Equality’ I hope to create
“As long as Law Enforcers give up their individuality to fight for justice and equality, they will be able to wield the Power of Law”
I iht but I was still far away fro that
As a newborn power of concepts, the Power of Law is still weak and requires an influx of faith for it to gro, only in Sulfur Mountain City where the Power of Law is the thickest, in an area around the Origin of Codex can the Power of Law be a Concept equal to the Holy Light
“After all, there’s no God of Laever, there will be one…”
Just like what I said when I was teasing the Town Security (Undead Playground), there will be a God of Law and the Power of Law that is recognized by the entire world As long asthe word plan is better, succeeds, what should be there will be there
“There will be a God of Law and Enforcers, ield the Power of Laill roam the entire world Every city will establish its own justice and legal system…”
…It will all be there! I swear on my phylactery!
This time, I won’t be the silly individual who tries to block the truck with his weak are ‘history’ This time, we, all of the Law Enforcers who believe in the laill become the authors of a brand new history
