The Eight Original Races … "Xi Wei muttered softly in his divine kingdom.
The God of Games was a newbie and certainly didn't have the relevant knowledge, but if he knew the keywords and searched through the memories of the Aquatic Lord's divinity, he would be able to find some information.
In truth, the Trinity of Saints had created many different races after the world was created. They lived in the Prime Material Plane, propagating and passing down generations after generations, giving birth to many wondrous cultures.
Under the protection of the gods, these races thrived, just like the Ediacaran Age before the Cambrian explosion of life. They were thriving, but at the same time, they gave off a rather strange feeling.
Such was the 'prehistoric era' of this world.
But as mentioned before, there had been three divine wars in this world.
The Aquatic Lord's divinity memories had almost no record of the first divine war, probably because the Aquatic Lord had yet to be born at the time.
Still, it was certain that the war did not happen in the Prime Material Plane, and there was almost no damage to the mortal realm.
In fact, Xi Wei still didn't know what the gods fought against in the First Divine War after ruling out the possibility of a civil war between the gods …
Unlike the first divine war, the second one was closely tied to the Prime Material Plane, even triggering the world's greatest ecological catastrophe.
After the first divine war, the gods were dealt a heavy blow and ignored the development of the mortal realm for a long time. Ironically, it was during this godless period that the races of the mortal realm developed far faster than when the gods interfered.
Although the exact time was not clear, it was certain that many races had developed astonishing civilizations that were not inferior to Earth during that period of time.
Such was the First Era recorded by the races of the mortal realm.
Due to the prosperity of many races and population growth, many deities who fed on faith had appeared in the divine realm at some point in time.
Their existence gradually began to erode and even rob the power of the primeval gods. Finally, when the contradictions accumulated to the extreme, the primeval gods took the initiative to start a war with the gods of faith, and that was the second divine war.
Xi Wei's predecessor, the original God of Games (Primeval Deity), had been slain in this divine war and had his divinity stolen.
Unlike the first war of the gods, the second war of the gods didn't just involve the prime material plane. Many other planes weren't spared either. They were all caught up in the flames of war, becoming sacrifices in the struggle for power and authority between the gods.
The war that lasted for three hundred years had completely destroyed the ecosystem of the Prime Material Plane, and almost all living beings had been wiped out in the continuous natural disasters. The glorious civilization of the first era thus came to an end.
In the end, neither the gods of faith nor the gods of primordial deities emerged victorious (although Xi Wei had the feeling that the gods of faith would self-destruct due to lack of believers if the battle dragged on). Unable to watch on any longer, the Trinity stopped them from continuing the battle and moved to reshape the world's environment.
Almost everything developed directly from scratch. After the gods were viciously beaten up by the Trinity and understood how much pain their actions brought to the world, they temporarily let go of their competitive spirit and began to obediently carry out their divine duty and authority, carefully taking care of the new intelligent races that were born after the Second Divine War.
It was also during this period that the ancestors of the human race mysteriously appeared in this world, taking advantage of the rare period of gentle care from the gods to obtain precious time to develop. They quickly spread their presence to almost every corner of the Prime Material Plane!
And that was the Second Era.
However, the most brilliant intelligent race in the Second Era wasn't humans, but the goblins. They enslaved many other races (including humans) and developed technology vigorously, eventually creating warships that could invade the divine realm and face the gods directly.
And after the gods slapped the goblins to death, they slightly altered the settings of their race, causing them to lose their original wisdom and degenerate into small fries. That was also the end of the period of caring for the intelligent beings of the mortal realm, with attitudes from all sides moving towards the present era.
Perhaps it was precisely because the goblins had angered the gods that many of them actually had the chance to save the intelligent races of the mortal realm in the Third Divine War so that their civilization could continue smoothly. Even so, they did not act in the end, and simply watched as the developed and diverse civilizations of the Second Era were destroyed, with all intelligent races being beaten back to their starting point and starting anew from the Stone Age.
Moreover, the gods would even point their fingers and order them around during the process of development, causing their development to stagnate. Most of the reasons that humans could develop to what they were now in a thousand years had nothing to do with the 'teachings of the gods' that many churches preached. It was entirely by digging the tombs (ruins) of the First and Second Era civilizations that they developed!
By the way, the Trinity had vanished after the Second Divine War. If they hadn't interfered when the Prime Material Plane was almost destroyed in the Third Divine War and established the iron rule that the gods could not head to the Prime Material Plane, many new gods like Xi Wei might have believed that they had fallen after the Second Divine War …
And the Eight Original Races that the Elven Queen mentioned were the eight races created by the Trinity in the very beginning. Due to various reasons, they had avoided the tragedy of being wiped out in the Second Divine War and managed to survive to this day.
They were the dragons (all dragons who participated in the Divine War were wiped out, and those who survived were their descendants who had gone dormant during the war), the Holy Ones (a race similar to angels, and said to have been created from the leftovers left behind when the Trinity created the gods), the giants (a race similar to humans but unrelated to the mountain giants), the devils (the sole survivors of Hell), the nightstalkers (the ancestors of shadow creatures and vampires), the high elves (the ancestors of all elves), the orks (the ancestors of modern orcs), and the hill dwarves (the only race that had survived to this day, and the gray dwarves were a branch of it).
If the zombification this time was really according to the Eight Original Races, then aside from the zombie dragons, zombie devils, and zombie orks, there would also be zombie angels, zombie giants, zombie vampires (?), zombie elves, and zombie dwarves. That would be right, zombie elves, and zombie dwarves.
Xi Wei couldn't help feeling a pain in his balls at the thought.
"Gasp … isn't this a little bad?"
