(Preparing the big plot is very troublesome. I have to code all day tomorrow. I prepared all day today, so I used the world view setting I wrote for others before to touch upon it. I originally wanted to integrate it into the current world view, but that was the earliest conception of the fourth ruins. However, I decided to make a new one.)
This planet is located next to an ordinary star. Thirty thousand years ago, there was no life here, absolutely nothing. There was only a red earth stretching to the end of the world.
But I don't know what happened, the gods appeared. From ancient times to the present, they have had various names. To this day, we still don't know what they are, but after consulting a lot of archaeological materials and ancient books, I sorted out the history of mankind.
According to my classification, this period can be divided into the "Mythology Age", "The Divine Art Age", "Magic Age" and "Magic Guide Age".
Initially, the gods didn't rush to create humans, as most religious texts claim. No, the earliest creatures were the "Bila," which we now only see in books and online. "Evil Creature" in the divine language, here using a Chinese transliteration invented in the early Magic Age, is a mistranslation. Writing this word directly in divine language would cause a new Bila to appear before me, unless I were isolated from the magical environment beforehand. Bila were primarily active before the Magic Age.
Later, after Bila appeared, for some unknown purpose, the gods created "elves". They were not the handsome men and beautiful women commonly seen in film and television works. In today's terms, they should be called "elemental will".
A long time later, after creating countless lives, the gods created humans.
Humanity originated from an accident. What the gods originally planned has been lost in history. Perhaps the oldest elemental will or Bira knows what they really want to do. Legend has it that someone knew it before, but I don't know.
The emergence of humans marked the end of the mythological era, and the gods disappeared. With the help of the elemental will, humans learned the divine language.
After the divine text is written or recited, it will produce direct magical movement. Therefore, in the Age of Divine Magic, humans relied on the divine magic derived from the divine text to fight against Bila. This war lasted until the beginning of the Age of Magic, a full 20,000 years.
However, God had disappeared, just as most religions are objectless. Thus, the worship of Bila emerged. After all, as the earliest creature, Bila completely overwhelmed humanity in every way. Humanity's understanding of God unexpectedly originated from Bila.
Later, the first humans died one by one, and their talents were not passed on to the next generation. In that era, humans lost the ability to chant divine texts.
A man, whose name is unknown, invented magic after diligent research. Magic requires talent; those without it are unable to control the magical forces of nature. Unlike divine arts, magic is divided into three types: runes, spells, and alchemy. I'll discuss magic in later chapters. It is the cornerstone of magical technology.
The effect of magic is weaker than that of divine power, and there is nothing that can be done about it. Fortunately, there are more magicians than divine power users.
After that, magic ruled the world for a long, long time.
Until the advent of magical technology. Originally invented by Mr. Liu Ming, magical technology was more of an idea than a technology, combining pure technology from various nations with pure magic. However, at that time, the advancement of magical technology was extremely slow due to the lack of participation from high-level magicians. Later, Bila invaded the human world again. During that war, a legendary mage emerged, pushing magical technology to its peak and also spreading universal text. We will discuss his deeds in the biography.
Dongdu, one of the oldest kingdoms, existed between the end of the Age of Divine Arts and the beginning of the Age of Magic. Its founder was the "Emperor," an immortal, said to be one of the first humans. He died in the war with Bira in the early Age of Magic. He was also a very wise leader, initially recognizing the power of the Dongdu government, leaving the center of power to become a behind-the-scenes guardian. Unlike the image of him as a heinous villain in some later films and television productions, the relationship between this final divine magician and the mage was actually good, though they were separated for some reason. His story is also recorded in detail elsewhere.
Dongdu's strength is not the strongest on the main continent. Because of its huge population, it had to restrict the few magicians in the early days. A considerable number of them had to produce magic items for the people. As a result, it lost the opportunity to enter the magical age early.
The country occupies 47% of the main continent, but because of the northern tundra and western desert, the actual inhabited area is only 26% of the main continent. In addition, the above two places are active areas of Bila, and the actual high-density population area is only 7%, and a large number of people are concentrated in major cities.
The industry is well developed, and agriculture can barely guarantee self-sufficiency in the face of constant attacks. Due to historical reasons, the capital and other important cities are built on the ruins of the past, forming an ancient architectural style. What is unique is that their cities have divine steel puppets that are up to 20 meters high. Even though they are a little dilapidated, this kind of thing could face Bila's body in the mythological era, so the main cities are still relatively safe.
The earliest magical technology originated here, and technological development was rapid. The capital, Star Guard City, was the premier metropolis on the continent, yet also the most backward.
Dongdu possesses the most formidable technology among all nations—divine magic. Rumor has it that certain puppets in the early Magic Age were crafted using divine magic, thus possessing pure souls. This story explores the primary military systems and weaponry of that era. Because the subsequent emergence of a certain mage led to a shift in weaponry and the disintegration of the military during war, this section takes place before that time.
