In the red incense wood palace of Yuzhang Mountain, Loran Hill sat in the empty hall, behind him was a tall hollow wooden sculpture as tall as a peacock spreading its tail. The beauty of the phoenix and the splendor of the flames were vivid in this sculpture. The afterglow of the setting sun behind the hall shone through the small holes in the wall and out from behind the wooden sculpture, its red glow filling the hall, and the phoenix behind the chair also flapped its wings, ready to fly.
Sitting on the jade throne, Loran Hill slowly opened her eyes, with a hint of light still in them. She had just woken up from the numerous messages left by Lelewu, which detailed the history of the twilight age and the trajectory of human development. In that era when ideas and technologies flourished, human imagination of the future formed different branches and gradually went on different paths.
Although some residual information had been obtained from some memory devices or crowns before, it was not complete. After all, the "Mechanical Parliament" was the final victor of the Twilight Age, and they recorded and left behind the most things. Coupled with the supplement and improvement of the "Cloud of Tracing", the information left by Leru was particularly complete and detailed, allowing Loran Hill to know many details in history.
At the beginning, the Mechanical Council was not as powerful as everyone imagined. In fact, each faction had electronic AI and mechanical technology, but not as extreme as the Mechanical Council. Later, during its rise, it did not go to war with all factions at the beginning. There were several alliances and ceasefires in the middle. Until later, everyone realized that if the Mechanical Council was allowed to expand, it would inevitably lead to no living space for others, so they united.
There were ups and downs during the war, and each faction was trying hard to catch up. For example, the resonance system was not first created by the "Tree of Life Sect", but was developed by the Deep Sea Alliance. The Heart of the Origin is actually a very small faction, but it has good relationships with many factions and has harmonious relations with many factions. It was also through various means that it obtained the four crucial Origins.
The development and creation of giant dragons was extremely popular within the 'Tree of Life Sect', and even a faction was split off, called the 'Angry Dragon', but due to various reasons, it was later absorbed back into the 'Tree of Life Sect'.
After raising the 'Sun Crown' and the 'Moon Crown', the 'Mechanical Council' became more powerful than ever before. At that time, they could even detect and find members of the 'Deep Sea Union' scattered across the galaxy. However, in their view at the time, the 'Deep Sea Union' no longer posed a threat. After becoming extremely wealthy, some members of the 'Mechanical Council' even proposed to provide some funding to the 'Deep Sea Union', which was approved.
In its contacts with other races in the galaxy, the 'Mechanical Council' acquired a lot of new knowledge and gained a better understanding of the nature of the world, which later became the basis for the creation of the Star Crown.
Although the glorious era lasted only a little over a hundred years on the surface, the technological leaps and rapid developments during that time were unimaginable to ordinary people. This was because the transcendents in the Sea of Aegeka broke free from the constraints of their bodies, and the speed of their thoughts far exceeded reality. If these more than a hundred years were converted into reality, they would probably be thousands of years. This is why the peak that humans climbed back then, the 'Sun of Divine Wings', was still unreachable hundreds of years later, and most of the lost technologies were difficult to restore.
The shocking images and scenes in his mind gradually faded away. Loran Hill slowly stood up from his chair and walked out of the hall.
It was the time when the evening breeze was blowing. Looking down at the earth from the top of Yuzhang Mountain, many people were returning to their homes from the fields, with smoke from cooking and birds singing, creating a harmonious pastoral scene.
It is hard to imagine that this was a race that was once so glorious.
Loran Hill's fingers gripped the jade of the fence, feeling a little cold and hard. His full heart gradually dissipated in the autumn wind, and then returned to silence.
'When a person takes on a certain responsibility, he or she becomes stronger.' This saying is often seen in sayings like "a mother is strong" and "a father is strong." They may be able to tolerate their own experiences easily, but they cannot be so indifferent to the experiences of those they care about. This responsibility will prompt some people to make changes and endure more difficult tests.
Now, the afterglow of the 'Sun of Divine Wings' gradually faded away. As the member who was probably the only one to witness this afterglow for the last time, Loran Hill felt a slightly heavy mission gradually falling on her shoulders.
This feeling did not arise overnight. It began when her origins were clarified in the system that year, sprouted from the past history obtained from the church, burst out from the magnificent crown that rose that night, and has continued to this day.
Loran Hill stood quietly beside the jade railings of the high platform, watching the sunset in the distance sink into the ground step by step, until the dark night came and the sky was dotted with stars.

The far east.
In the night sky under the stars, hundreds of floating warships sailed through the cold wind, with sails and oars occasionally waving, making slight noises. Several of the leading dragon boats were hung with lanterns that changed in brightness, guiding the ships behind to follow in the night sky. The entire fleet was very quiet, but a reassuring power was also lingering in the hearts of the members on board.
The night passed slowly, and the east was as white as a fish's belly.
After leaving Hedai Island, there is a vast and clear amber sea below. The liquid in it is golden and transparent. There are no fish or aquatic plants. You can see the rock plates and sand under the water. This is the Yellow Sea, the "fairyland" in the hearts of the people of the Eastern Continent. Legend has it that the phoenix lives on the mountain in the Yellow Sea.
Shortly after entering the sky over the Yellow Sea, the crew on the warship discovered scattered ships on the distant sea. Although there were no flags, it was hard not to suspect that they were reconnaissance ships of Kunlun Yuting.
