In the dimensional castle, more than eight hundred years had passed since Lu Zhiyu had created the elves. The flow of time had also gradually slowed down to four thousand times. To the outside world, only two months had passed, but to the humans, it had already been the rise and fall of several dynasties. Even for the long-lived elves, this meant that the first generation of elves had already entered their later years!
It had been 1,500 years since the birth of the orcs, and 1,200 years since the birth of the humans. After more than a thousand years of development, because of the large amount of commercial trade, the birth of religions and Blood Knights, the gap between the rich and the poor and the class differentiation had further intensified. The civilizations of the humans and the orcs had gradually moved from the primitive era of cities to the era of countries. Countries of all sizes began to appear on the Alen Continent. As they separated and reunited, the territories of the humans and the orcs gradually expanded.
From the center of the Alen Continent, it gradually spread to the entire continent. Every place was gradually filled with the footprints of humans and orcs. As they moved from a city-state to a kingdom, their smelting technology also continued to develop. Finally, iron began to gradually replace bronze. Both sides began to mine iron in large quantities, and they had their own iron smelting centers.
Weapons began to become iron swords and armor. Agriculture began to use iron hoes, iron shovels, and heavy plows. All kinds of powerful soldiers began to appear. They began to conquer the wilderness and the land. These slave countries drove large numbers of slaves to mine iron. From the Bronze Age, they had completely entered the Iron Age!
The area of arable land and irrigation expanded. Farming technology improved. Handicrafts flourished. Metal coins were produced in large quantities. Lu Zhiyu looked at everything on the Alen Continent from the Map of the World. It was very magical. The civilization on the Alen Continent had reached the level of the fifth or sixth century BC on Earth.
Especially with the appearance of a large number of Blood Knights, the inherited abilities that Lu Zhiyu had given them in their genes were activated. They formed religious sects and a large number of Blood Families. Not only did Lu Zhiyu give them the abilities that Lu Zhiyu had given them, but there were also a large number of swordsmanship and abilities that came from the combination of genes. Many strong people even left their own skills in their genes and passed them on to their descendants!
What surprised Lu Zhiyu even more was that the orcs also had Bloodline Knights. Over the past thousand years, both sides had captured large numbers of other races as slaves. While they fought and killed each other, they had also continued to integrate. Many of them had mixed blood with humans.
This allowed the beastmen to have a large number of knights who could awaken their bloodline abilities. They even awakened the genetic abilities of their ancient animals. Because the beastmen were much stronger than humans, their bloodline knights were even more powerful on the battlefield!
Lu Zhiyu wore a cloak and walked around the Alen Continent, observing the changes that had taken place. Everyone was able to wear clothes, and the styles of clothes had also begun to change. Different ethnic groups began to form in different places. Food also began to change. Artists, architects, sculptures, painters, musicians, and even unique musical instruments began to appear!
The orcs, on the other hand, were much less culturally developed. They were better at fighting, smelting, and craftsmanship. Lu Zhiyu finally arrived at the edge of the sea. Traces of humans and orcs had begun to appear by the shore. They had begun to build the simplest of boats to fish in the coastal waters. Lu Zhiyu had collected all kinds of fish fry, big and small. There were also corals, starfish, jellyfish, and a series of other aquatic creatures. He had also seen them in the shallow waters.
However, the only pity was that there were no large creatures. Such a vast and boundless sea, yet there were no large creatures. It was a shame for the sea. Without giant beasts and sea monsters, it didn't feel like a different world.
Lu Zhiyu walked on the beach and looked at the fishermen in the distance. "Humans and orcs have also begun to come into contact with the sea. In a few hundred years, or maybe a thousand years, they will begin their journey to conquer the sea!"
Lu Zhiyu looked at the sea in the distance and frowned. "The sea feels too monotonous. There is no difficulty or excitement in conquering it!"
After seeing the changes in the Alen Continent, Lu Zhiyu immediately returned to the Yala Continent through the dimensional door. The nameless wetland forest now had its own name, the Forest of Life.
The elves were Lu Zhiyu's favorites. Compared to the humans and orcs, the elves were born with a long lifespan, beautiful appearance, and superhuman intelligence. Lu Zhiyu had even given them the genetic inheritance that was unique to humans. In many ways, the elves could be regarded as the perfect life form, except for the fact that they had a hard time continuing to live.
Nearly a hundred thousand elves lived in the Forest of Life on the Yala Continent. All of the elves lived in this forest without any worries. Their extraordinary wisdom and peaceful living environment allowed them to create a culture that was different from that of humans and orcs.
The elves created the elegant elven language and the unique elven zither. Music was popular throughout the elven kingdom. They had their own sculptors and painters, who could make exquisite elven longswords and bows. From every aspect of their lives, it could be seen that they were a race that admired and loved art.
But recently, this harmonious situation had begun to change. Panic had spread throughout the elves, because their sacred tree had begun to show signs of withering. The sacred tree of life, which had given birth to countless elves and carried the faith and inheritance of the elves, was about to enter its old age with the first batch of elves. Since a few years ago, the sacred tree of life could no longer give birth to elves. This decline was something that the elves could not stop, nor could they save it!
The Elf Council of Elders kept discussing the reasons for the withering of the sacred tree of life, as well as ways to save it. They tried countless methods and prayed to the God of Natural Order again and again, but to no avail. Although the sacred tree of life was still crisp, every elf could feel that it was gradually dying!
The Elf Council of Elders broke into fierce arguments again and again. After losing the sacred tree of life, all the elves seemed to have lost their spiritual sustenance. Originally, the elves had been divided into two factions. One faction believed that they should protect the sacred tree of life in the Forest of Life forever, while the other faction advocated exploring the outside world. Originally, the conservative faction had prevailed over the radical faction, but now that the tree of life was dying, the dispute between the two factions became even fiercer.
As Lu Zhiyu walked into the forest, he could see the elves' tree houses, as well as their elegant posture of hunting with bows and arrows. They coexisted with the forest and lived in it, but they also depended on each other.
After passing through a large number of wooden houses and some elf villages, Lu Zhiyu finally saw the capital of the Elf Kingdom, Sylve City. This former big valley had become a huge forest, and the elves had built their own city around the sacred lake and the sacred tree.
In the middle of the forest, along the cliff, there was a magnificent city built of stone. However, there were no city walls, and there were many entrances cut into the cliff. A large number of buildings, trees, and plants were connected to each other. Lu Zhiyu could see all kinds of bridges, fountains, and spiral staircases. Inside the city, there were unique towers and exquisite buildings, as well as a large number of beautiful elves.
They played the harp, sang, and did what they liked to do. They lived a relaxed and comfortable life here. Their long lives and peaceful lives gave them enough time to fulfill their dreams.
