Primordial Blood Throne: Book 1 Chapter 15 - History
Edited by Owner – (4/39) until we hit chapter 50! Day 2 had begun
When heaven and earth first existed, the world was barren.
Until one day, a great explosion happened at the center of that barren land. Great fountains of energy erupted from the explosion.
This type of energy affected the world, changing the sky and transforming the land, creating countless life at the same time.
The first lifeforms obtained the most Origin Energy. Their bodies were as huge as mountains, each of them possessed great power and peerless strength.
These lifeforms were called Primordial Ancestors.
After the Primordial Ancestors, many beasts were also birthed, they were also powerful but were unable to contend with the Primordial Ancestors who were created when heaven and earth was first transformed.
These beasts were called Primordial Beasts.
After the Primordial Ancestors, the Primordial Beasts ruled the continent and became the overlords of the world.
The 200,000 years when the Primordial Beasts were overlords of the continent were later referred by people as the Origin Era.
After the Origin Era, came the age where the ten thousand races rose.
At that time, due to a decrease in Origin Energy around the continent, the Primordial Beasts were unable to adapt to the change, they began entering a deep slumber, to reduce their demand for Origin Energy and thus, maintain their lives.
However, their descendants continued to actively live on the continent.
Their bodies were still huge and also possessed the ability to control the power of Origin Energy, just not as good as their ancestors.
They were called Desolate Giant Beasts.
At the same time, under the influence of Origin Energy, the world began to appear large amounts of intelligent races that possessed the ability to be creative.
One of such intelligent races, were the Humans.
At that time, the intelligent races were still fragile and weak. The rate at which their intelligence developed were much slower than the rate at which they developed their strength, yet, they continued to be tenacious.
The weak humans were then ruled by the Desolate Giant Beasts, acting as their food source.
This period lasted for 100,000 years and was called the Desolate Ancient Era.
After the Desolate Ancient Era came the Chaotic Era.
The Chaotic Era was also the age when the intelligent races rose.
All lifeforms that have the innate ability to control Origin Energy were collectively called Primordial-Type Lifeforms, this was also where the term Primordial Beasts came about.
The races enslaved by the Primordial Beasts were unable to develop their own strength and could only walk the path of evolving their intellect.
The most typical example of intellect evolution was creativity.
Therefore, lifeforms that evolve through intellect were thus called Intellectual-Type, or Slave-Type, this is because most, if not all, Intelligent Types were raised from a lowly status.
With the development of intelligence, the Intellectual-Types slowly began to feel unsatisfied with their destiny as slaves. They worked hard to cast off this destiny. However, during this period, rather than saying that they have casted off their fates as food, it could be said that heaven and earth has provided them with a new chance.
As time went by, the amount of Origin Energy between heaven and earth was decreasing, from as thick as water to a vigorous storm, and eventually become as thin as a breeze.
The strength of the Desolate Giant Beasts began to weaken.
They still possessed the ability to wield the power of heaven and earth but it was no longer so easy; as their power weakened, their body's began to shrink.
These were called Demon Beasts.
Demon Beasts are still the owners of this world, but no longer is their rule absolute.
The Dark Elves were the first to rise.
They were the first of the intelligent races to learn how to control Origin Energy. They were born with the innate ability to sense Origin Energy and could be considered as Half-Primordial Type, they however, lacked the physique to manipulate Origin Energy. As the Origin Energy decreases, it made it easier for them to wield it. Using their ability to control Origin Energy, they began their counterattack.
This was the most glorious period for the Dark Elves, where they managed to defeat large amounts of Demon Beasts. Chaos Era Year 4600, they built an empire belonging to their race at the southern end of the world, history records call it, The First Elven Empire.
The empire existed for two thousand years before it was destroyed.
Origin Energy continued to weaken, and a few Desolate Beasts began to follow the steps of their ancestors and began to enter hibernation.
And more new races began to rise.
The Mystic Race, a race that possessed both powerful physiques and intelligence; the Violent Race, filled with primal wildness, although called an intelligent race but acted like wild beasts; and the Green Race, the half plant, half lifeform that liked to live in forests. They all established their own powers but were eventually destroyed.
Chaos Era Year 9800, the Mystic Race established the Heaven Mystic Kingdom, destroyed three thousand years later.
Chaos Era Year 12,000, the Violet Race formed the Storm Territory, destroyed five hundred years later.
Chaos Era Year 15,000, the Green Race built the City of Eternal Solidarity, destroyed four thousand years later.
Not one of them managed to last for more than five thousand years and eventually became a part of history.
The only race that managed to last for 30,000 years despite the devastation of the Beast Race, was the Arcane World Empire built by the Arcane Race.
The Arcane Race possessed an exceptional creativity, although their bodies weren't strong but they were able to create various types of Origin Energy-powered items and use them to repel Demon Beasts. During the period when the Arcane World Empire was at its greatest, they managed to rule more than half of the world, at that time, they were even more powerful than Demon Beasts. It was to the point that even Desolate Giant Beasts were unable to stop their progress.
However, very soon, the various intelligent races began to finally understand the power of Primordial Type Lifeforms.
A Primordial Beast had awakened.
The Primordial Beast decimated the armies of the Arcane World Empire, although the Primordial Beast died shortly after, as it was unable to adjust to the environment of the world, it had dealt irrevocable damage to the Arcane World Empire.
At the same time, the various intelligent races who were suppressed by the Arcane Race revolted, attacking the Arcane Empire viciously from within.
They destroyed the Arcane Royal Capital, the City of Eternity, causing the final plan of the empire to fail; at the same time, they also divided the treasures of the empire between themselves.
During the late years of the Chaos Era, the Arcane World Empire was destroyed. Five races divided the spoils amongst themselves, the Humans obtained the Blood Extractor. From that time on, they could extract the power of the Beast Race for their own use and created the system of Bloodline Warriors, the first Origin Masters - Su Chen's deduction was correct.
——
"Sosiggor said, I am sick of that stubborn rock brain of that Mountain Race slave, what I need is not a strong slave but a smart one that understand my needs, after that, he bought Lin Xin Huo. Three years later, when the racial rebellion started. Lin Xin Huo led one thousand and two hundred human slaves to kill his master before escaping to the nearby mountain region. Thirty-three days later, Lin Xin Huo and his army were destroyed…… Who would have known that this is the truth behind the first human rebellion? This was just a resistance put up by a slave towards his Arcane Race master, but it became the prologue to the rebellion of the whole Human Race, the Battle of the Burning Prairie."
Within Jade Truth Pavilion, after Su Chen memorized the last paragraph, he gave a summary in a heavy tone.
"The true history is always disappointing, isn't it?" Tang Zhen laughed while replying: "The history taught by me is not as beautiful as those that were mentioned by history books."
"So, did Lin Xin Huo actually say the phrase, 'Humans will never become slaves for the rest of eternity'?" Su Chen asked.
"Who knows?" Tang Zhen shakes his head.
Although he's able to obtain the history but the details were also limited. Some of the truth might have been buried within the sands of history.
Knowing the truth or not no longer served any purpose anyhow, no matter if Lin Xin Huo spoke that sentence, he had already become the symbol and idol of the Human race's freedom in this era. Knocking him off that pedestal served no purpose to the human race, knowing the truth was simply for the purpose of learning how to keep a calm mind when truths were learnt.
As for ideas such as 'correcting history and revealing the truth', Su Chen decides to forget about it, even at fifteen years old, he understand that this idea wasn't realistic and impractical to attempt.
"Let's end history lesson for today, you should get some rest, I will teach you the Arcane race's language next. Unfortunately, if only the language proficient spell of the Arcane Race was pa.s.sed down. It was said that if you can master that spell, you will be able to automatically learn who to speak that language, and you will not need to spend so much effort."
Su Chen replied: "This kid is happy that he is able to learn from the Head Shopkeeper and does not feel tired about it."
Tang Zhen straightened his old bones and laughed happily as he walked out.
Seeing that Tang Zhen had left, Su Chen lowered his head to look at the book in his hands.
The words on the book were blurry and unable to be seen clearly ,but at least he could already differentiate each individual word.
Indeed, his eyes have recovered by another degree.
In his eyes, the view of the world had also changed.
He could know differentiate certain colors, his world was beginning to be filled with richness.
His current state, was more like a person with extreme myopia, although he was still unable to see clearly, but he was no longer blind.
