set up
In the beginning of the universe and time, there was a point with infinite mass and density, which itself was infinite energy. After the Big Bang, the energy that was originally one dispersed to every corner of the universe. Among them, the forms that absorbed more energy developed will and became "gods".
After God was born, He came to a corner of the universe and began creation in this world called the "Five Continents." The goddess Nüjing created humankind from clay in God's image, and the god of wisdom, Funong, bestowed wisdom upon humankind, giving them knowledge.
The five continents are: Donghai Danzhou, Nanyang Yuanzhou, Xiguang Ezhou, Beiji Hanzhou, and Zhongping Shenzhou. Among them, Donghai Danzhou and Nanyang Yuanzhou are isolated overseas, while Ezhou, Hanzhou, and Shenzhou are connected by isthmuses or high mountains. Each continent has several countries, but due to the high mountains and long distances, many countries have never even heard of each other. The story mainly takes place on Zhongping Shenzhou.
The main intelligent races in the five continents:
Humanoid races:
Humans: The most numerous of all intelligent races, possessing an extremely balanced distribution of the five elements. While lacking any obvious strengths or weaknesses, they have a 25% resistance to all elemental spells and a 25% energy bonus to them. This balance makes them suitable for any profession in the Divine Continent, but becoming a grandmaster requires immense effort and considerable luck. Besides religious beliefs, humans also worship ancestral deities, believing their ancestors' souls are watching over them.
The Yue people, standing only about three-fifths the height of an average person, originally lived in hilly areas. During the "Million Ears" war, they spread to various parts of the world, reportedly found on all continents except Zhongping Shenzhou, where they were called "dwarfs." They are extremely confident and proud of their height, believing that the goddess Nüjing meticulously created the short Yue people first, and later, tired of them, casually molded other human races. Therefore, they possess a talent for creation unmatched by any other race. However, the Yue people split into two groups: one group lives in caves, belonging to the metal element (giving a 50% to 100% bonus to attack and defense), and are excellent forging masters; the other group lives in tree-dwellings, belonging to the wood element (giving a 50% to 100% bonus to attack and defense), and are superb mechanical designers. Although the two groups look down on and distrust each other, they maintain a facade of respect and tolerance. Besides their religious beliefs, they also worship the legendary god of craftsmen, Gongshu Pan.
The Rong people were a nomadic people living on the grasslands. Physically, they were not significantly different from ordinary people, but slightly taller and with darker skin. If it weren't for their fire element (which grants a 50% to 100% bonus to attack and defense), it would be difficult to distinguish them from other humans. The Rong were a nomadic people who lived on horseback, residing in large, easily movable tents. Rong cavalry units were consistently among the most frequently used assault forces in warfare. Historically, the most famous Rong king, Sihai Khan, launched the "Million Ears" expedition, which brought almost half of the Central Plains and Western Guang'e Continent under his rule. Because the enemy's ears were used as a marker of victory during the campaign, this expedition was called the "Million Ears." Besides their religious beliefs, they also worshipped the legendary war god Potian, who is said to have shattered the sky.
The Qiang people are the tallest human group, averaging half again as tall as the average person. They are extremely strong, yet gentle and even somewhat slow-witted. Their elemental attribute is Earth (earth-based attacks and defenses are increased by 50% to 100%). Their strength and loyalty are their most reliable assets. Although somewhat slow in reaction, they are by no means stupid. Because of their size, they often treat other races like children. When they associate with the Yue people, they often become the objects of the Yue's commands, but they don't mind, as helping and caring for others is in their nature. However, due to their powerful offensive and defensive capabilities, especially their astonishing attack power in a berserk state after being strongly stimulated, they often become an indispensable infantry force in wars between various countries. Because of their simplicity, the Qiang people worship the goddess Jing, the mother of all things.
The Yi people: Originally a race inhabiting the seashore, they once vied for dominance over all human races in ancient times. After their defeat, they returned to the coast. Their element is water (water-based attack and defense are increased by 50% to 100%). A saying among them goes, "Every Yi is born in water, grows in water, dies in water, and is buried in water." Their powerful aquatic abilities meant that any navy required Yi members to be considered combat-ready. After the "million ears" incident, some Yi migrated inland but still lived along rivers and lakes. Fishing is their traditional industry, but with frequent exchanges between continents, long-distance maritime trade created internal conflicts. Whether to choose this new and highly profitable trade or the ancient way of life passed down for millennia often became the focus of debate between generations. Interestingly, the Yi often chose a middle path: long-distance maritime trade in their youth and fishing in their later years. In terms of belief, besides religion, they held great reverence for the sea god and the dragon.
Non-human races:
Fairies, also known as monsters, are life forms gradually created over a long period by various sentient beings throughout the five continents, absorbing the energy of the primordial universe. They possess extremely powerful magic and strength. If they weren't almost infertile and could only reproduce naturally, they could easily seize dominance from the human race. In terms of personality, they value independence and therefore maintain a respectful distance from one another, making it difficult for fairies to unite. The vast majority live in treacherous places inaccessible to humans, while a few have transformed into humans and live among them. They can intermarry with humans, and their offspring are not significantly different from ordinary human children, except that they may possess some unique abilities. Generally, they do not intervene in human conflicts unless they believe such conflicts could lead to the loss of control over the entire world. Their five elements attributes are not absolute; they are generally determined by the five elements attributes of the entity that gave birth to them.
Demons: Humans use every terrifying word imaginable to describe them, demonstrating their fear of this powerful race. Not only humans, but even fairies shun demons. Long before the "Million Ears" war, demons vanished from the land of gods, demons, and humans, supposedly eradicated by a combined effort. To combat them, gods, demons, and humans even developed two types of magic beyond the Five Elements—air and lightning. These powerful spells now only exist in demon legends. In ancient tales, the origins of demons are a mystery, with claims that fallen gods or fairies created them, but without concrete evidence. Fairies and gods alike remain tight-lipped about this. Their Five Elements attributes, like their origins, are shrouded in mystery. "Slaughter" and "bloodlust" are the impressions they leave on the world, but in reality, demons are not absolutely evil, just as humans are not absolutely good.
God: The greatest inheritor of the primordial energy of the universe, possessing unimaginable abilities, but rarely interfering in worldly affairs. Apart from being found in the legends of heroes and demons in the mythological era, there is almost no evidence to prove their existence.
The Lineage of the Gods: Legend has it that at the beginning of the universe, the ancient god Prajna was born. He used a giant axe to destroy the initial chaotic state of the universe. However, this explosion also shattered his body into countless pieces. Sixty thousand years later, the goddess Nüjing was born from a part of his body. The goddess came to the earth and, feeling lonely, used clay (also a part of Prajna's body) to create humans. At this time, humans were immortal, just like the gods. Although scholars of various races have endlessly debated which race the goddess originally created, no one denies that the goddess Nüjing is the common mother of all mankind. At this time, other parts of Prajna's body also transformed into gods, including Gongshupan, the god of craftsmen; Potian, the god of war and fire; Gonglong, the god of the ocean and water; and other deities. To vie for the position of chief deity and the right to rule over the new life created by Nüjing, the gods waged war. Humans also intervened in this divine war. To punish humanity for interfering in divine affairs, Potian, in a fit of rage after his defeat, shattered the sky, releasing Youming, the god of death. Humanity was thus condemned to the suffering of birth, aging, sickness, and death. Nüjing, unable to bear seeing her children tormented by the even more powerful gods beyond the heavens, used her own body to block the sky shattered by Potian, transforming into the stars. Moved by this, the gods established the "Law of the Gods," no longer directly interfering in human affairs, allowing humanity to control its own future. As these ancient gods gradually faded from human memory, some humans realized they were also part of Prajna, discovering they possessed immense power. These people became new gods, who, according to their own understanding, imparted the true meaning of Prajna's po
