Quan Ji nodded: "That is the purpose of my trip, so naturally I want to know."
She didn't even know the significance of Master Shenxuan asking about this point.
Master Shenxuan's thin body twitched slightly, a bitter expression appeared on his face, and the Buddhist light around him flickered like candlelight.
"In that case, I will tell you a story about you."
"This story will provide the answers you seek."
Quan Ji, whose back was already straight, straightened up even more, straining her ears to hear everything clearly.
Master Shenxuan began to tell this story:
"This story goes back a very, very long time."
...
...
While the world was still in chaos, a god quietly opened his eyes and, fearing loneliness, began to create the world.
He used his energy to light up the world, and from then on, there was the sun.
His hard-earned sweat dripped onto the ground, and thus the ocean came into being.
His body eventually fell into the ocean, and thus the earth came into being.
His will became the law of the world, the principle of nature.
This god, named Noah, was the creator god who opened up the world and created everything.
His death silenced the world for a long time, until one day, the boundless energy in the ocean gave birth to an egg. As if to protect this egg, the laws of the world gave birth to countless creatures that controlled the world's energy, namely the gods.
Some gods can summon wind and rain, some can cause lava eruptions, some can change the world, and some can control time and space.
Their energy is inexhaustible, and they live in this world.
They didn't know the meaning of their existence, but a voice in their minds told them to protect the egg.
They built palaces for the eggs, enshrining and protecting them.
Among them, the Star God and the Moon God have the gentlest and most powerful energies, so they became the guardians of this egg.
But this egg remained completely still for countless years.
The gods' mission was not completed, but it was not diminished either.
However, over the long years, they began to find it boring.
Thus, the God of Life, who controls life, and the God who controls the abstract meaning, gathered the thoughts of all the gods and created living beings.
The first creature they created was called a dragon, powerful and beautiful. However, because the extreme power required too much energy and because it was their first creation, the dragon had many flaws of its own.
They were arrogant, proud, and extremely greedy, which is why they were constantly chased and beaten by various gods.
Having learned from this experience, they created races such as angels, elves, and mermaids.
These races also have their flaws: angels are too loving, while elves and mermaids are too indifferent and indifferent to worldly affairs.
Then they created demons, and the dwarves and the Eldar.
They each wielded various powers, yet none of them could gain the favor of all the gods.
The gods began to work on more weaker creatures, hoping to use them to make breakthroughs in creation in various aspects.
Thus, countless kinds of life were born.
At that time, among the millions of races, a pyramid ecosystem began to form, introducing uncertain elements into this boring world, which brought a taste of success to the gods.
But they still felt something was missing.
After much deliberation, they finally decided to work together to create a creature that could change shape and no longer have a fixed form.
They began to shape the appearance of this creature based on the most handsome of the gods, the Star God, the Moon God, and the Sun God.
And so, humankind was born.
As if guided by fate, the egg that had been dormant for so long began to stir.
Even though it was just hatching, countless gods were forcibly summoned by the laws of nature, all eagerly watching to see what kind of creature would emerge from the egg they were guarding.
Then, a chubby little hand emerged from the egg, its five fingers peeking out, and slowly crawled out, allowing everyone to see the creature's face clearly.
Its form was the same as all the gods in the first order: a beautiful human body, with long, ink-black hair cascading down to its feet, and golden eyes that shone as brightly as the sun. Its peerless beauty seemed to be the creation of heaven and earth.
The next second, an immense divine force pressed down on the gods, causing them to kneel and call out a title as if it were etched into their memories:
"Young Miss."
The young lady was born alongside humans, just like a human infant, pure as a blank sheet of paper, full of curiosity about everything in the world, looking here and there.
However, because it controls divine power with unknown rules, it has absolute suppression over gods and the millions of creatures created by them, causing a lot of trouble every time, making people both love and hate it.
The Star God and the Moon Goddess are her most loyal subjects, taking care of everything for her and guiding her.
She shines as brightly as the sun, born to be the strongest being on the entire Noah continent.
She was holy and noble, and countless gods subconsciously believed that she was the representative prepared by the divine principles for the gods.
But her growth was extremely slow, unchanged for ten years.
She is close to all living things, and all living things sing her praises.
The power she wields is not like that of other gods, which has a clear direction. It seems to be something she can do at will, able to control everything and even surpass the gods who have specific powers of control.
At that time, humanity also received countless blessings and favors from the gods because of the birth of the young lady, and was the race most favored by the gods.
Their power is weak, but they are as ever-changing as the reason the gods created them.
People are not fixed in their ways.
They are not as naturally proud as dragons.
They are not like angels who are born kind.
They are not inherently evil like demons.
They lack the innate aloofness of elves.
They are not as naturally mysterious as mermaids.
They are not as naturally stubborn as dwarfs.
They are like blank sheets of paper, and the world uses each stroke to outline their different shapes.
Their lives seem like a drop in the ocean, yet they lived out long stories in their short lives.
They would give thanks to the gods who created them, worship different deities, build high altars, and make offerings to them.
They would thank the gods who helped them and offer them the gods' favorite wildflowers.
They are the most magical creatures on the continent of Noah, capable of countless transformations.
Throughout the endless changes of time, they grew from a weak tribe to a powerful force through learning, cohesion, and faith.
This race has been recognized by all races.
This race also caught the attention of the "young lady".
The "young lady" knew from birth that there was such a race accompanying her, so after she became aware of things, the young lady, who had the same form as humans, also loved to wander among humans.
Almost every so often, he would walk among humans under a different identity.
Therefore, before humans became the eight major races, the young lady also made significant contributions.
She did many things that enabled humanity to make leaps and bounds.
