Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

On the first day

“The creation.”

“You see this starry sky, bright and without boundaries. You see this vast Milky Way across the sky.

But do you know the origin of the world?

Each is in reincarnation, each has its own springboard and destination.

Eternity born out of nothing.

The Supreme who sleeps in darkness.

It raised his hand to prop up the chaotic dream.

Time began to flow until now.

It opened its eyes, looked around, summoning light.

The burning sun gave life to the world.

It closed its eyes and bowed his head and rested under the starlight.

The bright moonlight followed like a shadow.

It’s right hand moved the tall mountain.

Birds and beasts were given nests.

Its left hand covered the deep sea.

Fish and shrimp were placed in the tide.

Its breath turned into clouds and rain, moistening the forest.

Grass and trees grew luxuriant, bees and butterflies swarmed.

Its sweat poured on the earth and made it rich and fertile.

The ears of rice were massive, and the fruits were plump.

But the world was still empty and silent.

It could hear no kind words.

The Supreme looked at his own shadow.

Seventy days later, It gained magic spells that created mortals.

It’s nails disintegrate from the body into the skeleton.

Its blood drips to the bones, forming flesh.

Its tears breathed the soul into mortals.

Then the man began to be wise.

On the second day

The Supreme was born of nothing

When it woke up, the world was a desert.

It enveloped the planet with its power, shielding it from the destructive cosmic rays.

Then there was water, then grass, then worms, then fish, then animals and birds.

Over the next ten thousand years, life evolved on schedule.

Until, by chance, there was a rift in space and time, and violent energy invades the whole planet.

The divine power collided with this energy, killing each other.

Eventually, the Supreme suppressed this energy and sealed it deep in the very core of the planet.

It was consumed with its strength and fell into a deep sleep.

When it woke up again, it found an entirely different kind of creature on the planet: Human.

It turned out that after the Supreme’s slumber, a trace of foreign energy began to slowly expand outward from the planet’s interior, and eventually formed an energy crystal “Sewa” on the earth’s surface.

A group of apes unwittingly acquired Seva. With Seva’s help, the apes rapidly evolved into upright, intelligent creatures known as “humans.”

On the third day

The Supreme tried to drive this terrible energy away again.

But during its sleep, the planet’s interior had been assimilated with energy. Once the energy was pulled away, the earth will collapse.

So the Supreme reluctantly accepted the reality.

It infused the power of the earth’s core with energy. It slowly directed the energy mix to the surface, forming the Psychedelic flower and Savannah Gems.

The Psychedelic flower mostly grows in the eastern land with thick forest land. The flower will cause intense divine power fluctuation, beautiful and elegant but fleeting.

On the other hand, Savannah Gem is found only in the companion creatures of various veins, and its energy is more peaceful and stable, but it is not known deep underground.

As beings facilitated by Seva’s power, humans are naturally sensitive to Psychedelic flower and Savannah Gem.

The first to gain this power was a lucky slave: Haran the Holy.

With absolute power, he united all the Eastern tribes and formed the first country, the Huang.

He made a calendar and fixed the year as the first year.

The age of magic began.

On the fourth day

After that, human society entered a period of rapid development.

People began to collect all kinds of Psychedelic flower and Savannah Gem, trying their best to get the supernatural power.

After countless successful or unsuccessful experiments, three forms of power have finally formed:

Significantly few people can directly eat Psychedelic flower or Savannah Gem and generate different divine powers from them. They are called: the Chosen.

Some people regard the Psychedelic flower or Savannah Gem as belief and totem. They worshipped them and carried them. During the long-term contact with them, their bodies have also undergone abnormal changes, gaining part of their supernatural powers. They are called: The Fanatics.

There are still some people who cannot get divine power directly. They take a different approach, mixing the Psychedelic flower or Savannah Gem with various other substances, and deriving a variety of strange effects. They are called: The Alchemist.

The Chosen and Fanatics did not like the behavior of Alchemists who abuse Psychedelic flower and Savannah Gem at will.

So they gradually stopped providing Psychedelic flower or Savannah Gem to the Alchemist.

After a conspiracy attempting to stealPsychedelic flower and Savannah Gem was discovered, the Chosen and the Fanatics jointly expelled the Alchemists.

Alchemists were forced to leave their homeland, tossed and wandered, finally settled in the northern plateau, and developed into a new country: Agnesa.

On the Fifth day

In Era 1776, Watt the Sage finally broke through the shackles of energy and invented the magic motive.

In the following decades, various magic machines appeared on the scene, and technology entered a period of the explosion.

In 1802, the first magic airship was completed.

Relying on the airship’s transportation power, the Agnesians successfully crossed the vast western desert of death and reached a new paradise: Vrsaris.

Over time, the Agnesians gradually sank and degenerated in their enjoyment.

They did not work but rely on the tribute of Frsaris to maintain a luxurious life.

The Frsaris were extremely dissatisfied with the increasingly greedy material demands of the northern Agnesians.

In 2418, the civil war broke out.

The war lasted for nearly a hundred years.

In the end, due to lack of energy and materials, Agnesar had to admit Frsaris’s independence.

They were forced to leave the western continent and return to the increasingly cold and harsh north.

In 2567, the cataclysm of the northern glaciers swallowed nearly half of the north of the continent.

The Agnesian gathered all the Alchemists to build 5 substantial floating cities.

The king of the north was hidden in the heavy snow, licking his wounds, waiting for a good opportunity.

On the Sixth day

The development of science and technology has also affected the ancient eastern countries.

All kinds of exquisite machinery from the north have triggered an upsurge of pursuit among young people.

Among them, the lower-level people of Huang, who are not favored by divine power, accepted this new thing the fastest.

They rushed to buy books from the caravan returning from the north, eagerly learning magic science.

This phenomenon aroused the vigilance of the upper echelons of the country.

The alchemist’s past was still vivid, and the conservative Eastern power people didn’t like these strange tricks.

The different ideas of Conservatives and Reformers had caused a long-term debate in the eastern continent.

The dispute lasted until 2833 A.D.

The reformist magic fleet found a vast archipelago in the southern waters. 

There are abundant products and a charming climate.

This discovery cheered Reformers.

A large number of immigrants were sent to the South Island. They cut into mountains and built towns and ports.

In the end, most Reformists chose to join the new world.

On the Seventh Day

To deal with the increasingly serious energy crisis, the Science Institute of Fersares has successfully developed a light energy conversion system, which can effectively convert the solar energy into a savannah-like energy stone through a large area of light energy mirror.

This technology was first applied to the magic puppet factory. A large number of low-cost and sustainable operation of mechanical soldiers was continuously produced and assembled into various legions as a standing force.

As a result, the Conservatives and Radicals’ different ideas in the use of puppet soldiers intensified, and the whole upper class fell into the vortex of power struggle.

In 3820, the Presbyterian of Fersares, ignoring the military headquarters’ protest, formed an armed puppet Corps directly under it and resolutely fought an undeclared war against the northern Agnesa.

The puppet regiment, which never sleeps and does not need logistics, quickly broke through the desert outpost. The two sides launched a fierce offensive and defensive war under the Arcadina Fortress.

At first, the mechanical soldiers’ continuous attack caused a lot of trouble to the northern garrison. Still, as time went on, the weakness of puppet soldiers’ low intelligence and slow reaction became more and more prominent.

After Agnesa’s powerful airship formation joined the battlefield, his firm control of the air slowly brought back the war’s tilted balance.

The sudden war was at an impasse…

On the Eighth Day

In 3828，the eight-year war between Fersares in the West and Agnesa in the north ended dramatically.

The sudden explosion of divine power in Arcadina Fortress shocked the world. The space-time cracks left by divine power disorder turned into a black forbidden area, and alien monsters came to the world through the cracks, causing chaos everywhere.

Thus, the western called on the people to form a mercenary guild to fight against the ferocious beasts.

The guild’s development was amazing. Soon they set up branch bases in the north and east countries. The upsurge of force spread all over the land, and for a while, many people responded.

During the fierce mercenary wave movement, the south country kept a strange silence. However, the fleet groups that came and went south and west more frequently seemed to indicate the undercurrent surging under the peace.

The energy crisis continued, and the standoff between the two nations in the northwest has not changed. In the shadow lurks a monster called war.

In the late summer of 3836, a Southland high school exchange student returns to Wong’s capital by sailing back, his youthful eyes look forward to a future filled with promise.

But fate is silently, slowly approaching him…
