Within the darkness and chaos.
This was a world of nothingness covered by the Silent Darkness. The palm-sized World-Core had just been born and was still emitting a faint light. Beneath it, the World-Tree that would support the entire world in the future was just a small seed.
The so-called Silent Darkness referred to a primordial substance that existed in the embryonic form of the world before everything was formed.
It appeared with the birth of the World-Core. As the World-Core nurtured the World-Tree seed, the Silent Darkness would slowly condense and transform into Origin Substance Particles to provide energy for the world's structure.
As for when the Origin Substance Particles would transform into Magic Particles, this would depend on the growth rate and condition of the World-Tree.
Once something changed during the growth process, the embryonic form of the world would also change. The Void World and the Shadow World had evolved into a mysterious world completely different from the human world because of the World-Tree's mutation.
The creation of such an embryonic form of the world must have an Eternal Being behind it. The Eternal Beings that lived behind the Gate of Eternity were the creators of all things in the universe. They followed the laws of the universe and obtained part of the power of the Trihara Pillar God, creating new worlds in their own form or history.
They created their own Origin Worlds with all their strength, which were usually hidden in various parts of the universe. Origin Worlds were closely related to Eternal Beings and were rarely exposed to the outside world.
In addition to their Origin Worlds, these new life forms that had been floating around for countless years would also use part of their power to create new worlds, adding vitality to the universe and delaying the increase of entropy.
Such new worlds could appear and disappear at any time in the universe. Many of them could not truly take shape, let alone evolve into life forms.
Therefore, biological worlds such as the human world, the werewolf world, and the vampire world were very rare. It was reasonable for Eternal Beings to want to descend into these worlds. They wanted to absorb the knowledge, history, and civilization of these biological worlds to provide materials for their own creation. However, the laws and order of ordinary biological worlds could not accommodate the arrival of an Eternal Being.
Many of them could not even bear the weight of their avatars.
If Li Xiang had not sacrificed his life to stop the Immemorial Eternal's clone from descending, the entire Great Wall of Calamity would have been destroyed along with its borders. The aftermath might have destroyed more than half of the sea of stars, creating a huge hole in the human world that could not be healed.
In this empty embryonic form of the world, a black shadow was faintly discernible. If one were to look closely, they would discover that this body was shockingly huge. Just the black vertical pupil that was exposed through the shadow curtain was already unimaginably huge. It was impossible to imagine how terrifying the owner of this vertical pupil was, and how terrifying the body hiding behind the shadow curtain was.
Right in front of the vertical pupil, a petite figure was running around. However, she soon got tired of playing and sat down cross-legged. She puffed up her cheeks and glared at the vertical pupil angrily!
"Hmph, you lied to me. This place is not fun at all!" Li Xinyi crossed her arms. Her initial fear had long disappeared and was replaced by her usual playfulness and cuteness.
Ever since she was grabbed by the Black King and dragged into the void along with a continent, Li Xinyi had become much quieter.
In the Seven Continents, she had the new Polar night uncles and aunts, as well as the royal family's grandmother to take care of her. She was simply lawless, causing chaos everywhere. Previously, in the sea of stars, she was restrained by Li Xiang, so her naughty personality was somewhat restrained. However, she still often gave Li Xiang headaches. Now that her father was not by her side, her little ancestor's behavior had suddenly skyrocketed.
Previously, she kept begging Shizuko Ise to bring her to the Northern Continent and then sneaking out to play, which was how she was discovered by the Black King. After being caught, this little fellow finally knew fear and was very quiet for a while.
It was only when she realized that the Black King had no intention of harming her and was only bringing her to the embryonic form of the Mysterious World that Li Xinyi's naughty soul gradually began to burn again. She began to become restless.
"There's an entire continent below. Isn't it fun there?" The bloody mouth under the vertical pupils opened and closed, and the Black King's voice was heard. It was frightening, like rolling thunder, but it did not affect Li Xinyi at all.
His voice was distant and the previous sense of madness had completely disappeared, replaced by the same rationality as before.
This meant that he had adjusted himself from the edge of madness, and the aftereffects caused by forcefully devouring existences of the same level were completely gone.
This was all thanks to Xinyi's aura.
It was an aura of a level even higher than that of an Eternal existence. This little fellow did not know how to restrain it, and when she opened her mouth and breathed, it poured out in torrents. In the Seven Continents, not many people could perceive and use this aura, but in this enclosed space, the Black King did not have the interference of magic particles and other energy, so he could quickly collect, refine, and absorb it.
This was simply a little human-shaped power bank.
Hearing such a perfunctory answer, Li Xinyi was even angrier. She pointed at the floating continent below and replied crisply, "Please, Big Eyes, when you caught that place, there was nothing left. What do you want me to play with? Air, or a pile of ruins?"
"…" The Black King turned his vertical pupils and looked at this little fellow. To be honest, at first, he had planned to beat this annoying little fellow into an idiot, and quietly provide him with the aura of the origin.
But after he regained his rationality, in this world of desolation, he slowly recalled the past, thought of Bai Lili, thought of his simple life, and suddenly a sense of loneliness came over him. He did not make a move, and instead, he left this annoying little fellow to be noisy in his ear.
It was as if this was the only way he could regain some sense of being human.
Perhaps it was related to the fact that he had absorbed too much of Xinyi's aura, the Black King even felt that there was a blood connection between the two of them, which made it even harder for him to make a move.
"Maybe I've lived too long …" The Black King sighed, looked at the noisy little fellow, and suddenly said, "Are you bored?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Xinyi felt that there was hope, and kept nodding. She was not even six years old, and was actually just a half-grown child. Even if she had outstanding talent, she did not have much interest in cultivation, and all she thought about was playing games.
"Then I'll tell you a story." After a pause, the Black King suddenly said faintly, "This prototype world will probably take a few more months for the seed of the World Tree to germinate. Until then, this place will always be like this."
"A few more months …" Li Xinyi's mouth was almost puckered. Hearing that there was a story to listen to, she immediately sat cross-legged, full of anticipation. "Okay, okay, I love listening to stories. The stories that the aunties told before were very good."
"This story happened in the Seven Continents, more than a hundred years ago …"
The Black King spoke tirelessly, and his voice was flat. Li Xinyi's eyes widened, and with his voice, a real image appeared in the empty world, it was like a three-dimensional movie!
"Three hundred years ago, the Goddess of Disaster System descended, and humans officially entered the era of players, and also had the power to resist the disaster. Among the first batch of players to rise, there was a girl named Ji Xinlan. She was cold and beautiful, and had countless pursuers, but in her heart, there was only cultivation and becoming stronger, and there were no romantic feelings at all …"
Li Xinyi looked up and saw a beautiful girl with long legs appear in the image. She was dressed in black, and there were countless handsome men following behind her, but she was always alone, if she was not cultivating, then she was on the path of cultivation.
In that era, the Seven Continents were full of disasters and mutants, and the human camp was still very weak. Only a few areas had defensive fortresses built, like steel cities, to provide shelter and living space.
At that time, anyone could register as an adventurer with the Goddess of Disaster and go out to experience the world. They could use their achievements to exchange for weapons, equipment, and some unsystematic cultivation methods.
At that time, there was no systematic cultivation system, and even the concept of magic users did not exist. Only the first batch of lucky people who were bathed in the Divine Light when the Goddess of Disaster descended directly communicated with player carriers and became players.
They were also the pillars of the human base, the leaders, and the founders.
Ji Xinlan was not convinced. Why could they rely on luck to become players, and she could only be a mediocre ordinary person?
She ignored the opposition of her family and registered as an adventurer, embarking on the path of hunting disasters and mutants.
In that era, human weapons, equipment, and all other resources were not systematic, and were far less powerful than now. In the face of mutants that even a Level-3 Magician might not be able to defeat, humans at that time had to rely on their bodies and numbers.
Of course, at the beginning of the era, disasters and mutants were also developing, and were not as terrifying and powerful as they were now.
Ji Xinlan's experience could be said to be the perfect model of a protagonist. She rose from being weak and killed all the way. The people around her changed batch after batch, and in the end, she was the only one who stood at the top and became a player.
To be able to rise from nothing in that era, without the help of the Divine Light, was simply a miracle of miracles. There were only a few in hundreds of millions of people.
Being a player was not the end of her ambition.
Ji Xinlan wanted to create a super family force that no one in the human camp could replace.
She firmly believed that her bloodline was strong enough, and that there would inevitably be more amazing people among her descendants.
Therefore, she kept three thousand male companions, had intercourse with countless men, and only left children behind. She killed all her husbands and gradually spread her family. She really did create a shocking family at that time.
This was the origin of the Black King's Ji family.
Ji Xinlan did not have any more breakthroughs until she died of old age. Now, her strength was only Level-3, and she was not considered a master at the level of today's players. However, it was such a woman who paved the foundation for one of the Five Great Thrones in the future.
"You obviously want to tell a story from a hundred years ago, but you're crazily telling a story from three hundred years ago. Hmph." Li Xinyi ridiculed, but she did not feel disgusted. It was good to be able to understand a part of the history of a Throne.
Although she was naughty and mischievous, she was also very intelligent. She knew what was useful to her and what was not.
She would crazily absorb things that were useful.
The scene changed, and the Ji family began to prosper.
When this family truly stood firm in the Seven Continents, the other four families of the Five Great Thrones were still nowhere to be seen.
They were obviously a veteran force, but they were the first to be eliminated. Li Xinyi felt a little emotional.
She knew that there were two people who destroyed the Ji family. One was this big guy, the Black King Ji Ning, and the other was the auntie, Fei Yujing, who she was a little afraid of.
If it were not for the aunties who said that Fei Yujing was her father's first love and told many stories about them, Li Xinyi would not dare to approach that cold and scary auntie.
But she was very good to her.
The little girl touched her chest. Other than the blood of the giant spider bloodline, there was also a drop of the Lightless Empress Fei Yujing's origin blood.
This was no ordinary Origin Blood. It was the Lifeline Origin Blood that she had been accumulating ever since she became an Autarch. It could directly create a descendant of an A-Class Disaster at birth. It contained all of her genes, as well as the power and understanding she had gained over the years.
It could be said that this drop of blood was priceless.
After secretly getting to know Fei Yujing, Li Xinyi often went to play with her through a special void tunnel behind the aunties and uncles' backs.
Compared to those aunties and uncles who were afraid of falling or melting in their mouths, this cold auntie was more willing to play with her. She also liked those strange mutants. After all, many races in the Seven Continents could not withstand a few punches from her.
But on the Lightless Island, she could experience the feeling of being a villain.
This drop of origin blood was given to her by Fei Yujing.
Because her origin aura was strong enough, she did not have to worry about the backlash from this drop of origin blood. She readily agreed.
"That drop of origin blood will cause your body to mutate into a disaster." The Black King paused and suddenly said.
Li Xinyi was shocked and looked at him with some lingering fear.
He could see that?
Didn't that mean that Dad could see it too!
"Don't worry too much. This drop of origin blood of hers will only be beneficial to you. Heh, what a strange woman. The first drop of blood that is nourished after becoming a Monarch is the foundation for a ruler to build a clan in the future. Future origin blood will not have such an effect, but she was willing to give it to you. "The Black King sneered." Looks like this auntie of yours still hasn't let go of your dad. "
"…" Li Xinyi was not interested in love and did not know how to respond.
The Black King paused and continued telling the story.
More than a hundred years ago, when the Ji family was at its peak, they finally welcomed their child of destiny, a boy born with Ji Xinlan's vertical pupils.
From a young age, he showed talent and ability that far exceeded that of his peers. He overcame all obstacles and pushed his way forward. Before he was ten years old, he had completed the training of magic users.
At that time, the magic system had just been formed and was still in the experimental stage. Many people died suddenly when they practiced this transition system between players and ordinary people. Very few people completed it, let alone completed it at such a young age.
It was not until many years later that they realized that the problem was not with the magic system, but with humans themselves.
The physique of ordinary people was not enough to accommodate the development of magic circuits when they were young. Therefore, there was a rule that they could only start practicing after the college entrance examination. No matter how talented they were, they could not violate it.
After all, for those who were truly talented, the magic period was just a transition. Becoming a player was inevitable. The cultivation of the player stage could not be improved by accumulating time. It was not a big problem to start practicing when they were young or when they were eighteen.
But this way, they could completely avoid the risk of sudden death.
But there was no such rule at that time. Many proud sons and daughters died because of it. Ji Ning, who stood out among them, naturally became the center of attention and became famous.
He did not disappoint. At the age of sixteen, he completed the communication with a player carrier and became a magician. After that, he went on a high road and reached Level 9. He was unstoppable.
