"The Elves' Past – Origins and Divergence" excerpt 1:
The Dark Elves originated from the elves. They were originally a branch of the elves, just like the different skin colors of humans. They were of the same origin, but there were some differences.
The conflict between the Dark Elves and the elves was not simply instigated by an ambitious person or something similar. There was a deeper reason for the division of the race.
If the conflict between the Dark Elves and the elves was described in detail, it could probably be compiled into a great book. It was a story that began tens of thousands of years ago. It began with the story of Drow and Danmo. (Note 1)
There were various things that happened in the tens of thousands of years of history. I won't go into details here, just a general statement.
There were different opinions about the origin of the elves, but some scholars, especially the sages and librarians from the [Eternal City] (Note 2), believed that they had found the most logical origin.
The elves might have a deep connection with the Eternal race. The giants of the Eternal race (people preferred to call them: Titans) were the world's earliest known civilization.
Including the [Eternal City], it was a gift from this race. Although they did not leave behind detailed written records, cosmologists knew from the bits and pieces they could find and various speculations that the Eternal Titans were the earliest creators of this world's civilization.
They were the sower of the entire civilized world. Almost all of the known civilizations recorded in the [Eternal City] were related to the Titans. No matter how subtle and inconspicuous this connection sometimes seemed.
Some scholars firmly believed that the Titan civilization was the first known civilization. Only in this way could they accept all kinds of things. Why did most of the civilization creatures in all known civilizations show a similar form?!
This included walking upright and similar brains. Most of the creatures showed a human-like form. This is inconceivable. There might be only one explanation, and that was that most of the known civilizations were actually created by a higher civilization (similar to the Eternal Titans) according to their own template.
A considerable number of scholars held this view. Most of them believed that the Titans had an important connection with the ancient gods that had died. The Titans were likely to be direct descendants of the ancient gods.
The author of this book, the librarian from [Eternal City] 10126, had a different opinion.
However, this couldn't erase the Titans' great influence on this world. The story of the Titans could be found in the archives of the library. Book number 99999: The Eternals. Here, the author will not go into details.
A considerable number of people believed that the birth of the Elves and Dark Elves was not created by the Titan civilization. It was even possible that the elves were born directly from the corpses of the giants. They were the product of the giant's power, not simply living creatures.
However, this speculation was questioned and criticized because no one had ever seen the true appearance of the Titan Giants. However, the divergence between the Elves and the Dark Elves started from the wavering of their beliefs and understanding of their birth.
The elves claimed that they were creatures created from the World Tree. Their original purpose was to protect the World Tree's guardian spirits. However, the dark elves didn't agree.
They were more inclined to believe that he was a product of absorbing the energy of the Titan's corpse. Because they had completely different understandings of their own values and beliefs, the two parties gradually drifted apart.
When the Drow came to power and became the ruler of the Dark Elves, the rift grew bigger and bigger. (Refer to [Elegant War: The Elves] book number 6034026.)
The Dark Elves advocated to find the Titans and their former masters. However, the Elves didn't agree. Because there were various signs that the Titan civilization had long disappeared from the universe. Perhaps the Eternals had already been destroyed.
Judging from the limited amount of information available, the Titans loved peace. They didn't even know what killing was. They had the power to create and destroy worlds, but they preferred to live in peace. If the Titans didn't want others to find them, then no one would be able to find them.
Therefore, the Elves thought that the Dark Elves were very stupid. When a crack appeared between faith and values that was difficult to heal, and it grew bigger and bigger, the elves were completely divided. The Dark Elves left the Elven Kingdom and embarked on their own journey to find the Titans.
They believed that they would find them. And the hidden dangers of this division also laid a deep hidden danger for the final war between the two races … The above content came from "Elven History: Origins and Divergence".
Li Jie's eyes almost went blurry from reading this short paragraph of text. It was a small book that Luo Ji had given him before he left. It was very dilapidated, and many pages were missing. There were also traces of fire.
Luo Ji had told him that part of the book was about the Dark Elves. Therefore, when Li Jie followed the patrol team to find the Dark Elves, he took the time to read the book.
The content of the book was too obscure. There were many things that Li Jie didn't understand at all. Unless he read it together with the other documents mentioned in the book, he wouldn't be able to understand what was written in the book.
The only thing that he could understand was the relationship between the Elves and the Dark Elves. It was because of the difference in beliefs and values, and it was about self-identity. This kind of difference was the hardest to reconcile because of the difference in values. Therefore, the Elves and the Dark Elves had completely different ways of doing things.
Compared to the Thor movies that he had watched in his previous life, the Dark Elves had done things that didn't make sense. Now, there was a reasonable explanation for many things. And the war between the Dark Elves and the Elves was understandable. Was this the so-called "Holy War" of the humans?
Then, because of the beginning of the war and the fact that they couldn't find the whereabouts of the Titans, their self-worth and beliefs became dimmer and dimmer. Therefore, the Dark Elves became more and more twisted. Now, all that was left in their minds was destruction?
Li Jie didn't dare to make this conclusion because he knew too little information.
However, he only needed to know the general situation of the Dark Elves and the Elves. He didn't need to understand it in detail. Anyway, he wasn't an Elf. What he needed to solve was always about humans and Earth!
After following the Asgardian and Dark Elven patrol team for almost two days, they finally found a place where the Dark Elves' scouts stayed.
Li Jie held a long sword made by the Dwarves in his hand, and the Thunder Sword was ready to be used at any time. He wanted to know the strength of the ordinary Dark Elven Warriors in order to decide how to introduce the Dark Elves to Earth.
Drow and Mordan are the titles used by the gods to address the Dark Elves. Here, I have made appropriate adjustments and set these two titles to two important leaders in the history of the Dark Elves.
[Note 2] The Eternal City was mentioned a long time ago. Loki used to go there to borrow books. The information about the Earthly Python came from the library on this planet. I will talk about this place in detail later.
