The year 1690 of the Third Era, the year when the sun and moon set.
The peace of the past was broken by the chaos that broke through the seal. Dark clouds of haze covered the sky, the earth, and the ocean. But in the face of this desperate disaster, the crown of the sun rose in the sky, clearing away the filth of the world.
Along with the sun, the silver moon crown rose. Continuing the conflict of tens of thousands of years ago, the two once again engaged in battle within the dome of the sky. Then, the sun and moon fell together from the highest dome, scattering the endless starlight that infects the world.
On that day, all living beings in the world lost the ability to control their extraordinary powers and began to practice again. After losing their extraordinary powers, some things that had been suppressed in the past began to erupt.
Some of them are anger that has been suppressed for a long time, and some of them are vitality that has been lost for a long time.
Within the Cangcui Empire, the power struggle in the imperial capital becomes the fuse, and the contradictions that have been suppressed for many years burst forth. Meanwhile, the seven nations of Xuehua begin to unite under the guidance of the sage, gradually merging into a unified country.
————————
Three years later, in the Verdant Capital, Tittania.
In the quiet and elegant palace, accompanied by a beautiful chorus, a handsome blond young man slowly woke up from a long sleep.
"His Highness Edren has woken up!" A familiar voice sounded, with waves of joy in it.
"What's going on..." Edlen slowly sat up and looked at the unfamiliar surroundings.
Obviously he should be in the palace at this time. Judging from the decoration, he should be in the Rose Palace, where the emperor lived in the past.
He hadn't died, but had survived? He felt a surge of joy, then looked at his palms in disbelief. Although he could move them without any problems, he seemed to have lost all his extraordinary powers. The extraordinary core in his body had dissipated.
Then he raised his head and looked around. There were about twelve girls in white standing beside him, each holding a special candle, surrounding his bed in the middle.
Was there some kind of ceremony going on just now?
He searched for a moment before spotting the familiar attendant beside him: Ronald, with his shaggy black hair and black and red tuxedo. He was his retainer and deputy.
Seeing Edren's expression, Ronald quickly understood. He said, "Thank you all for your assistance. The palace will give out additional rewards later. Now everyone, go and rest."
After he finished speaking, the girls in white were taken out of the room by the guardian knights. Only then did Edren start talking to Ronald.
"How long have I slept? It seems a lot has happened during this time." Edren saw that his bedroom was in the Rose Palace and guessed that the coup must have been successful.
"Your Highness, you have been asleep for three years." Ronald felt relieved when he said this. As the object of his loyalty, if Edren continued to sleep, he would be trapped in this small palace.
"During the turmoil in Titaneia, you were attacked by the Empire's Dark Moon Assassins, with a long sword piercing your chest. Fortunately, you were rescued by the nearby knights and His Majesty Amank."
"And what happened next was very special." As if it was too grand and he didn't know where to start, Ronald paused for a few seconds before organizing his words.
"At that time, the entire world was once again engulfed by the phantom of chaos. Beacons across the land ignited one by one, and pillars of light pierced through heaven and earth."
"And at this moment of despair, the crown of the sun rose from the top of the sky, and the cleansing light illuminated the earth. The whole world was washed by the golden wind, and all illusions were destroyed."
"It sounds like a miracle." Edlun recalled the beautiful crown he saw before he lost consciousness.
"Indeed." Ronald smiled bitterly and continued.
"The Dark Moon assassins were incredibly fierce. For a brief moment, they nearly rescued Ansroy. However, the sun in the sky absorbed all supernatural powers. Deprived of their strength, they were quickly surrounded and killed by a large number of warriors. Ansroy also died in the chaos."
"After losing Ansroy, the other legions in the city finally surrendered to us. We, who controlled the center, spent the next few months clearing out the enemies that stood in our way."
"Afterwards, His Majesty Aimank ascended the throne and became the new emperor of the empire."
"However, the Empire has always been governed by a dual monarchy. Due to your prolonged slumber, the legality of His Majesty Aimank's rule has been questioned by nobles from all sides."
"After that, His Majesty Aimank vigorously promoted officers and men in the army to important positions, giving them control of various departments and functions, in order to free himself from the control of the great nobles."
"But this will cause huge conflicts. You know, those ancient families hold a lot of power. It's too dangerous to do this." Edren quickly analyzed the disadvantages.
"Yes, but Your Highness, times have changed." Ronald's tone was filled with endless emotion when he said this.
"The Sun and Moon Crowns in the sky have taken back all extraordinary powers. No one can use their powers anymore and must learn from scratch. The old methods are no longer fully applicable and everything must be explored anew."
"This also means that the numerous high-level transcendents among the great nobles have returned to the starting line with ordinary people overnight. Individuals have become less important, and the army has become a powerful force that controls everything."
"We have the support of the army, and the death of Lord Consk, the former leader of the Southern Legion, made it easy for His Majesty Aimank to seize power and directly control a large number of legions."
"Given this heaven-sent opportunity, Your Majesty will naturally not wait for those great nobles to rise again, so the cleanup has begun."
