Chapter 15: History

When the heavens and the earth came into being, the earth was a barren wasteland.

Until one day, at the center of the barren wasteland, an enormous explosion occurred. The explosion released a frightening amount of raw energy.

This kind of energy resulted in many tremendous changes to this world, overturning the heavens and the earth. At the same time, it gave birth to an uncountable number of lives.

The earliest life forms received the rawest form of energy. Their bodies were as large as mountains and their strength was incomparable.

These life forms were called the Origin race.

After the Origin Race, new desolate beasts were constantly born. Although they were strong in their own right, they could not compare to the Origin Race, who came into existence at the beginning of the world.

Those desolate beasts came to be called the Origin Beasts.

After the Origin Race, the Origin Beasts dominated the continent, becoming the masters of the Primordial World.

The Origin Beasts were the masters of the Continent for almost two hundred thousand years. Descendants would call this time period the Age of Creation.

After the Age of Creation was an age where myriads of races sprung into being.

At that time, the energy of the heaven and earth gradually decreased, and the Origin Beasts were not suited for these changes. One by one, they entered deep hibernation in an attempt to decrease their energy requirements and continue to live.

However, their progeny continued to roam the continent.

Their bodies were still extremely large, and they still had the strength to control the raw energy. However, they were still inferior to their predecessors.

The progeny of the Origin Beasts were called the Prehistoric Beasts.

At the same time, due to flux of energy in the Primordial World, hordes of sentient, intelligent races began to appear in large droves. These races were not only numerous, but also possessed a unique flair for creativity

One of these intelligent races was the human race.

The intelligent races were still quite weak when they first came into being. Thespread and development of wisdom was far slower than that of raw strength, yet they were still able to somehow survive.

The fragile human race, under the rule of the Prehistoric Beasts, became their food.

This period of time lasted for a hundred thousand years, and was called the Wasteland Era.

After the Wasteland Era came the Chaos Era.

The Chaos Era was when the intelligent races suddenly sprung forth with tremendous momentum.

All life forms with the gift of controlling energy were grouped together and called Origin Related life forms, and it was from that the name “Origin Beasts” was derived.

The races enslaved by the Origin Beasts had no way of increasing their own strength and thus, they could only pursue the path of increasing their knowledge.

Most importantly, their leaps in wisdom and innovation led to their ability to create and invent what they needed.

The life-forms whose intelligence managed to evolve were referred to as the Intelligence-Related, or the Slave-Related. The last moniker was mostly because many of the Intelligence Related races came from lowly origins.

As their intelligence and wisdom grew, the intelligent races gradually came to resent their fate of being enslaved. They did their best to shake off their fate, but it was not their effort that allowed them a chance. But rather, the heavens and earth shifted, giving them a marvelous opportunity to make a bid for freedom

As time had passed, the energy of the heavens had begun to wane. It progressed from being as abundant and thick as water to becoming as thin as a paltry breeze.

As a result, the strength of the Prehistoric Beasts also began to weaken.

They could still control the power of the heavens and the earth, but it was no longer as easy. Their strength began to weaken, and their progeny grew smaller and smaller.

These became known as the Demonic Beasts.

They were still the rulers of the heavens and earth, yet they no longer held the absolute power they were used to.

The Dark Spirit Race were the first to rebel.

They were the first of the intelligent races to possess the ability to control energy. Innately sensitive to it, they could almost be considered as half Origin-Related. However, they lacked the physique to directly control the rawest form of energy. The thinning of heavenly energy actually allowed them to get an initial grip on controlling it. Using their newfound abilities, they began to wage war for their freedom.

This became known as the period when the Dark Spirit Race flourished. They were able to defeat a large number of Demonic Beasts, and in the year 4600 of the Chaos Era, they claimed their own territory in the southern area of the world. The annals of history marked them down as the Origin Spirit Kingdom.
