Chapter 51 Ten Calamities

"In the very beginning, the world was a boundless plain like the Dragon Realm, with only a large tree and the fruit it bore. Gods had not yet been born, and the only intelligent life forms that existed were dragons."

As Levelis spoke, she told Illa and Satanieh what the world had once been like, referring to the book. She said, "In the endless fog, there was no other intelligent life, and the fruit of the great tree fell to the ground and became..."

After listening to Illa and Satan, Levelis thought for a moment and then found a suitable description, saying, "It turned into a creature similar to cattle and sheep... The dragons also ate that fruit itself."

Resting her chin on her hand, Levelis slowly began to speak, as if telling her child a distant story.

"After some time, the calamity that first manifested itself—the Second Calamity, Zero Degree Cold—appeared. The world-destroying cold wave swept over the giant tree, encompassing the dragons and the creatures born beneath it, stripping them of all life."

"Then, in the extreme cold, the Dragon Tree withered and decayed... The era of extreme cold caused the world's life to almost cease, and it was only after a very long time that new buds of the World Tree emerged from the withered giant tree."

"Gods and Mana were born along with the World Tree, separating the Nine Realms... The gods sealed the world-destroying cold in a distant place, which is the Prime Plane, not far from the God Realm."

As she said this, Leiflis gently turned the pages of the book, and clearly, what was about to be told was the most crucial content that Ira wanted to know—the specific details about the ten calamities.

"The age of dragons ended, followed by the age of gods and dragons coexisting, and then nine calamities appeared one by one... A few months after the arrival of the age of gods, the calamities that existed long before the World Tree appeared also appeared."

"The First Calamity - The Four-Legged Riot."

As Levelis spoke, she pointed to the illustrations in the parchment book... Of course, judging from Illa's way of thinking, these were just simple line drawings, and she couldn't understand what they were at all.

"The gods imitated the animals that the fruits of the dragon tree transformed into, creating various livestock such as sheep, cattle, and pigs. However, those creatures exhibited aggression and an extraordinary reproductive capacity in the first spring."

"This is just a minor disturbance for the first generation of children of the gods—angels, demons, and elves, and for dragons as well, but it is far too dangerous for the second generation of children, such as humans and orcs."

"Moreover, as their numbers increased, the vegetation was also eaten up, and the trees were all devoured. As a result, the gods created carnivorous creatures that fed on these animals, such as wolves and tigers... However, wolves and tigers were also affected by the calamities."

"The gods then understood their mistake, first creating creatures such as chickens, ducks, and fish, and finally sealing the calamity of Mana within the core of the world, linking it to the seal of the zero-degree deep cold."

"..."

Yinla listened quietly, and he roughly realized... This world did indeed have evolution and development, but it completely overturned some theories of evolution, such as the absence of a primordial cell—Luca.

In this world, dragons existed before the gods.

This is the genuine world of Creationism...

"Linked to the seal of zero-degree cold..."

Yinla pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "In other words, the reason those beasts went berserk is because the seal on the calamity in the far north has malfunctioned... Perhaps I should be thankful."

Because the calamity of the Four-Legged Riot was the opportunity that prompted Illa to go to the Theocracy and meet Mylian Milian, and it was there that he obtained slightly more specific information about the calamity.

Therefore, during the extreme cold calamity, he wouldn't be completely bewildered by information like "[Abnormal Mana is in the far north]".

As Illa muttered to himself, Satan's Leaf, who was lying on the beautiful woolen felt, said, "However, the calamities of the beasts, the calamities of the cold, and the calamities of the sea have already been resolved by Mr. Illa."

In response, Yinla gently rubbed her head and corrected her, saying, "No, it wasn't me who solved it... it was the evil god Dark Fisher who solved it. She left the key to eradicate the calamity in the main plane, and I just picked up the key."

Even so, Yoon-ra is already very impressive.

Even Leiflis, who only knew a little about the situation, thought so. She smiled and nodded, continuing to read from the book, saying, "During this time, the gods sealed the surging seawater, sealed away the things that could corrupt all things, and sealed away the disaster of the resurrection of the dead."

"..."

"Wait, let me write this down... the calamity of the dead rising from the dead."

As Yinla said this, he paused for a moment, pondering the possibility of promoting cremation in the prime plane... or even digging up and burning all the corpses buried underground.

Hmm, not too difficult...

In this world, although there is a certain degree of respect for corpses, given the relatively indifferent attitude of people towards life and death... although there will be some resistance, it can still be successfully implemented.

For example, the Demon King's territory has no custom of burying corpses... Blood and flesh, whether from comrades or enemies, are properly utilized in the Demon King's territory.
