Chapter 212: The Beginning of the World

The newly born world was extremely lonely.

In the entire world, there were only the Demon King, the Goddess, and a World Tree.

Of course, at that time, they did not have their own names, and of course, at that time, they did not need names.

There were only three beings, and one was even unable to move. So, the only beings that could communicate were each other, right? There was no need for anything else.

They knew what kind of existence they were from birth.

The World Tree was a great life. Perhaps the growth of the World Tree led to the growth of the world, or perhaps the growth of the world made the World Tree grow. What kind of relationship it was was not important. What was important was that as the World Tree grew, the world began to become gorgeous.

Different kinds of life began to be born in this world. They were nurtured by the World Tree and came out of the fruit of the World Tree. The tree produced fruit once every three thousand years, with a total of three thousand different fruits, and then three thousand different things would come out of it.

Therefore, the earliest life was like the elves or wizards today.

There is a "root". That root is something that came out of the fruit of the world tree. It may be active or inactive. It has different characteristics. By coincidence, these things can breed an entire race.

Mohe remembered the touching moments she and the goddess had gained in the first three thousand years.

As a result, the Demon King and the Goddess also created an unprecedented thing for the first time - a name.

Mordor and Yulia.

They racked their brains and used up all the syllables to give different names to three thousand different lives. They enthusiastically communicated with these three thousand lives, and wisdom was born in the communication.

There were many contents of the communication, and this was also an opportunity for them to observe these lives.

Mordor and Yulia, who knew some things by nature, knew for the first time that there were so many unknowns in this world. They witnessed the wisdom of those lives... But, they also soon discovered other things. This speed was not measured by the scale of eternal life forms. It

should be said that it took only a few days, or less than a month, for them to realize this problem.

The gap between life forms is too big.

Some life forms become food for other life forms. They live in completely different ways, think about completely different things, and even have a big gap in wisdom. These lives have just been born, and the barren earth has just been filled with joyful vitality, but the struggle has already begun.

Mordor and Yulia did not understand. Although they did not understand, they did nothing.

This is something born in the world tree.

They have realized that the world tree has started a cycle of reincarnations again and again. Even if the things born in these three thousand years disappear, it does not seem to be a big deal. After all, in another three thousand years, the world tree will once again bear such fruits, and such life will appear again.

At least, Mordor thought so.

Yulia probably thought so too?

In the surprise of the birth, the two did not lean against each other. Everything was full of surprises for them.

Step by step, the two people's footprints covered all major races and communicated with the wise men in these races.

Sometimes the two would meet, talk about what they had encountered over the years, what interesting people they had met, exchange their experiences, and then say goodbye to each other, go to the places described by each other, see them with their own eyes, listen to them - to witness different things.

Time flies.

In these three thousand years, many races were destroyed.

When the World Tree was about to bear fruit again, there were only a few dozen races left in the world in the true sense - and the relationship between these races was also very subtle, and the relationship between the upper and lower levels was extremely obvious. At that time, Mordor and Yulia did not quite understand things like the food chain.

The one who dominated all races had a power called "magic".

Mordor and Yulia learned this power. Although this race had extremely strict control over this power, the birth of this power itself was related to Mordor and Yulia... It was a wise man of this race who finally discovered the "truth" of the world after communicating with the two.

Then, the World Tree bore fruit for the second time, and another three thousand different things were born in this world.

Mordor had communicated with Yulia that the race with magical power might always dominate all other races. After all, compared with the newly born races, this race really had too much advantage.

But their conclusion was wrong.

Because this race was destroyed.

Soon, in less than a hundred years after the second fruiting, this race "self-destructed".

This was simply incredible for Mordor and Yulia... Such a huge, great race with magical power almost self-destructed because of internal struggles after the second fruiting of the world tree - of course, they were not completely destroyed, but for those races dominated by them, it was enough.

Magic was no longer a secret, but spread among the major races, so the world entered the "magic age".

During that period, magic flourished to an extreme. Naturally, Mordor and Yulia's magic also pushed to a limit... until someone noticed the world tree.

In the first three thousand years, those races did not care about the world tree. But the second race of three thousand years had a certain interest in the World Tree. They could not destroy the World Tree, but that did not mean they could not get inspiration from it.

So the oldest alchemy was born.

The struggle between alchemy and magic began.

Yes, struggle.

"It seems that life is born to struggle." Mordor said with emotion.

Yulia said, "This is because they do not have eternal life. They will be born, grow old, get sick, and die. After all, they are just the product of the World Tree. However, the life of the second three thousand years is more perfect than the life of the first three thousand years. If this continues, one day, there will be life like us in the world, right?"

"It is possible, but... since someone is studying the World Tree, perhaps someone will also study us." Mordor thought about this, "I think that is a bit troublesome."

"Then we will hide."

So, the first life, Mordor and Yulia's names disappeared from the world, and the two began to walk among different races with different identities, still repeating the past journey, and they always get new gains.

The era of magic eventually collapsed.

But magic did not disappear. Even if the world entered the era of alchemy, it did not mean that magic was abandoned.

Even if an era disappears, it will leave corresponding traces - Mordor came to such a conclusion.

"Perhaps, the World Tree gave birth to these races just to give birth to things like magic and alchemy? In this case, can Yulia and I do the same thing?"

In such thinking, the third three thousand years arrived, and new life was born again.

At this time, the races that survived had undergone tremendous changes in civilization. The first writing had begun to evolve and spread, and history had begun to be written. Although it was something like a myth, civilization continued in such a simple inheritance - the system began to change.

This civilization was undoubtedly more powerful than the original magic civilization, and it had also undergone tremendous changes in thought. Mordor felt that this civilization might not end because of internal strife.

Facts have proved that this civilization lasted longer than the previous one - it persisted for a full eight hundred years after the birth of the third life. Eventually, it was destroyed. Mordor and Yulia witnessed the various measures taken by this race to save itself from decline.

Brutal, kind, united with other races, betrayed other races... Almost all the means that could be thought of were used, but in the end, it still went to destruction.

But something was still passed down.

At the end of the birth of the third life, a very important thing happened - a race got close to the power of the soul. With this power, this race discovered the wisdom of the predecessors, obtained many legacies, and began to rise rapidly. This is an era that attaches great importance to "death". The life of this period finally began to think about what happens after death.

After death, how should the soul be placed?

Lifeforms finally began to truly think about the meaning of life and death.

Lifeforms in the past also thought, but Mordor and Yulia knew that this was the instinct of life. It was something that the World Tree gave to these lifeforms at the beginning of their birth, so that they would find ways to continue, whether it was their own lives, their own tribes, or - their own civilization.

The observation and thinking of the soul allowed the world's civilization to move forward again. There were far more wise men in this period than in the past. It seemed that every race and every life could say a few words about their feelings about life. Understanding of the world. The world has become much more interesting, but both of them knew... This era will also be shattered, and then, their thinking will become the nourishment of the next era like magic and alchemy.

The world is moving forward.

At this time, they seemed to understand the meaning of the World Tree constantly producing fruits and giving birth to different lives. Generation after generation, life continues to evolve to completion, and one day -

what about them?

What about them who were born with the World Tree?

For this world, what is the meaning of their existence?

Mordor and Yulia, at this point in time, still don't know the meaning of their existence.

They still silently watch this world, silently walk through this world, perhaps, they are just witnesses - perhaps, they are the eyes of the world tree.

Time is still flowing, and another three thousand years have passed. Someone has discovered a way to keep moving forward in the flesh. The minds of people in this era suddenly become a little simple. In Yulia's words, the world tree itself is sick and wants to change its way, so that the life muscles of this era block the brain... But it is in this simple-minded era that some "consensus" was born.

Different races have different ways of survival, and different races have different codes of conduct - things that are applicable to a certain race will be considered cruel and terrifying in other races... In this era, some "qualities" that most races agree on have appeared.

For example, "kindness", "filial piety"... something like this.

Yulia looked at the races of this era, and from the beginning, she would complain about Mordor every time she saw him, to a gentle and warm look.

Mordor vaguely felt that Yulia was a little different.

"Do you like this era?"

"We are all guys whose muscles have blocked our brains. What's there to like or dislike?"

"Really?"

"Yes."

Time is still moving forward. In this era, people have turned their eyes to the starry sky.

Astrology was born, and all the races suddenly realized that knowing the future first is the key to success.

Mordor called this era the "Age of Starlight".

Things that were born in the past never disappeared, and they continued to prosper. In these births, even if the lives born in each era were constantly destroyed, there were still thousands of races in this world, and even various subspecies that were born by coincidence.

The world became more prosperous than ever before.

However, in the next era of the Starlight Era, something happened.

When Mordor and Yulia noticed it, it seemed too late.

"Ominous" was born.

Yes, it was "born".

They soon understood the nature of this power - in the second era, after people recognized the World Tree, every era, every race, tried to analyze, destroy, or control the World Tree.

The two had long been accustomed to such things, anyway, they couldn't destroy it.

At least not now.

However, they got one thing wrong.

That is, every race was born from the World Tree. From this perspective, every race is of the same origin as the World Tree. And the birth of ominous was not the races that survived, but the races that were destroyed and disappeared in history.

It was their curse on the World Tree.

"Great World Tree! Since you created us, why did you give us such a cruel fate? Since the end of birth is destined to be destruction, are our efforts and struggles all in vain?"

Those are the blood and tears of each race at the moment of destruction.

It is the reflection of life on life itself, the exploration of the truth of the world, and the final questioning of the soul to the great, creative World Tree.

Ominousness eroded the World Tree.

Mordor and Yulia, after disappearing for tens of thousands of years, appeared in front of the world for the first time in a real sense. The two joined forces, borrowed the wisdom of various races, the things that remained, and the power they were born with, to drive away the ominousness. They succeeded.

But they did find it too late.

The World Tree disappeared from the world, and it was completely broken.

"Perhaps, the meaning of our existence is to protect the World Tree." Yulia came to this conclusion.

"But we have failed."

After a moment of silence, Yulia seemed to have made a decision: "In this case, we will take on the mission of the World Tree. I will create different lives and continue the journey of the World Tree. Mordor, you should do the same."

Mordor refused.

In this way, the two life forms that seemed to be together and not together since their birth took different paths.

Yulia began to create life. She was very unskilled at first, and the things she created were not even as good as those created by the World Tree in the first era, but she was indeed creating, while Mordor was still walking in reality - at this moment, Yulia's creation of races had been known to the world, and she began to be called "God" by life forms.

Mordor's footprints were all over the world, and he spent many years, probably a thousand years? Or was it ten thousand years? He found fragments of the World Tree one after another, and then decomposed and reconstructed these fragments... condensed the special "properties" of the World Tree that remained, and finally became the seedling of the World Tree.

He found Yulia: "Yulia, as long as we replant the World Tree, the world will return to its original course. You don't have to create life again."

Yulia showed a disappointed expression to Mordor: "Mordor, you are so cold-blooded - don't you realize that the World Tree is wrong?"

"Wrong?"

"He created life but did not guide it. The final result is that he was swallowed by the resentment of life, just like what we have seen in the major races. The stronger individuals protect the weaker individuals to grow, guide them, and impart knowledge and experience, just like parents and children - since the World Tree creates life, it should guide life. If you can't do this, even if you replant the World Tree, you are just repeating the same mistakes."

Mordor didn't understand.

How could they repeat the same mistakes?

Last time, they failed to notice the existence of ominousness. This time, since they knew the existence of ominousness, they could take precautions before the birth of ominousness, and they could destroy or expel ominousness in advance... How could they repeat the same mistakes?

He felt strange to his former partner. He vaguely saw something different from this partner. She seemed to be shrouded in some kind of light. He seemed to be able to hear from her the prayers, worship and devotion of the races she created. The

created life affects the created life.

Mordor thought so.

This is no different from ominous.

Yulia has been eroded by this power.

Just like the world tree was eroded by ominous.

She did not perceive it - perhaps, the world tree died in this way.

Mordor and Yulia went to war.

The first life finally began to fight each other.

"Modor, I am not eroded! These powers, I call them faith, the devotion of the life I created to me, and the light that guides them!"

"No, Yulia, you will become something different, and you will definitely be harmed by this so-called faith. This is not the right path."

No one can kill anyone, but Yulia felt heartbroken for the races who fought for her and died in this war, and she finally made a decision.

"The sky is mine, the earth is yours."

The sky and earth that were once held apart by the World Tree were now divided.

Yulia took away the race she created and created the so-called heaven in the sky.

Mordor stood in the world.

He thought that he should plant the World Tree.

That was what he had originally thought.

But -

What if Yulia was right?

Mordor created the race that was later called the demons, but unlike Yulia, he was more like the world tree, creating many races but not guiding them.

He watched these races fight each other, but called himself the "demon" because of his existence.

This might be a little different from what he imagined.

He calmly watched everything that happened in the world.

Until sometime, ominousness began to appear in his body. He was keenly aware of the birth of this power, and then... controlled and modified it, turning this ominousness into what was later known as the "curse". That was the power that belonged to the Demon King. From the root, it was the hatred of the demons created by the Demon King for the Demon King when they died.

Faith, curse.

Mordor didn't know what was going on in the heavens, because Yulia was very defensive against him. Maybe her attack at that time was misunderstood by her. The civilization of the world grew very fast. I don't know when the civilization became so brilliant. He recalled the crude and barbaric life at the beginning. Perhaps several races could not find one or two to communicate with. Compared with that time, the current civilization was really...

until a race called humans was born.

Mordor did not create such a race. He was sure that this race was not a subspecies of a race in the past.

He was a little happy.

Yulia stretched out her hand.

He knew that this was a race created by Yulia. Although he did not know how he bypassed him and let this race quietly born in the world, but... was this her achievement? Was it the conclusion she came to in the heaven? He was looking forward to this race.

But this race was really very weak.

However, they seemed to be very smart?

It was hard to say.

Perhaps he should observe more.

Then, so abruptly, when this race was still being observed by Mordor.

A man named A. Godola came to him with the so-called brave team.

The sword and armor created by Yulia.

This man... is she going to use this existence to prove her correctness?

Indeed, he could feel some strange feelings from this man.

But it didn't matter.

"I am the Demon King Mordor. Tell me your name, brave man."

"Ah Godora, I am here to defeat you in accordance with the will of the goddess."
