Chapter 30 Eight Prehistoric Eras
"..."

Yang Xu looked at the other party's long message with some surprise.

This Bone-Dissolving Palm seems to be very afraid of getting into trouble and is trying every possible way to hide its identity.

However, Yang Xu is exactly the same. He also has a big secret that needs to be hidden, and he also doesn't want others to know his situation. The other party's conditions are quite satisfactory to him.

[Qingyun Daotong 2547: Okay, I agree. Let's cooperate.]

【Bone-Dissolving Palm: Very good.】

[Qingyun Daotong 2547: So how do I sell the strategy?]

After some discussion, Yang Xu finally brought the topic back on track.

[Bone-Dissolving Palm: I only have two types of guides here: a basic beginner's guide for 2000 yuan, and an advanced guide for 6000 yuan. If you have other questions, they'll be charged 200 yuan each time.]

The basic and advanced levels together cost 8000 yuan, which was indeed no more than 1 yuan as promised by the other party.

[Qingyun Daotong 2547: Let's start with a basic strategy.]

After Yang Xu typed this sentence, he was about to continue asking the other party what supplies he wanted.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually sent a document directly: "Exclusive Basic Strategy for Beginners of Bone-Dissolving Palm".

Yang Xu was stunned for a moment, then quickly clicked on it and took a look. He found that the homepage was covered with dense words. This was indeed a guide that could be read directly, not a locked file.

Although he was puzzled as to why the other party had suddenly become so open-minded, wasn't he afraid that he would just take the strategy and run away? At this moment, his curiosity about the strategy got the upper hand, and Yang Xu couldn't wait to read it first.

The guide had a total of seven pages. Yang Xu glanced through it and found that he already knew most of it. The only parts that were truly important and beneficial to him were three: era information, skin and star information, and the poker card ranking system.

First is the era.

"Before the birth of the current human race on Blue Planet, eight other civilizations arose in history. After reaching a certain level of development, these eight civilizations were completely destroyed in some unknown way. No trace of their existence can be found in the real world. Only in the underground of the mirror world can relics left by these ancient civilizations be unearthed."

"The first era is called the 'Origin Era,' also known as the Root Era. During this era, many people possessed a kind of root divine power. By applying this divine power, they created a civilization that reached the pinnacle in all aspects. This was the era with the greatest overall strength."

"The Second Era is the 'Age of Mythology'.

Several hundred million years ago, after the destruction of the First Era, the world's energy level plummeted, but the remaining energy was still abundant. The creatures of the Second Era eventually utilized this energy and developed a way to ascend to immortality. Eventually, the world evolved into a mythical era where immortals abounded. Almost all the mythological characters we are familiar with today can be found in this era.

"The next third era is called the 'Age of Miracles'.

After the destruction of the Second Era, the world's energy level plummeted again, unable to sustain the massive spiritual energy consumption of the Mythic Era. Consequently, the creatures of the Third Era devised a new method of utilizing energy, creating a branch of energy called "magic." Under the influence of magic, several near-human races gradually evolved, such as elves, dwarves, and orcs. Ultimately, a High Magic Era developed, with magic as its cornerstone and a diverse intermingling of races. "The above three eras are known as the Upper Three Eras."

The fourth and fifth eras were collectively known as the Middle Two Eras, and the world's energy level experienced a discontinuous decline compared to the previous three eras."

“The Fourth Era is an era of cultivation.

The entire Fourth Era can be said to be a crude imitation of the Second Era. By tapping into the legacy left by the Second Era, the Fourth Era has almost completely inherited the Second Era's spiritual energy immortalization system. However, due to its extremely low energy level, the highest level of individuals that the entire world can support can only reach the Cave True Stage, and no True Immortals can be born anymore.

"The next fifth era is called the 'Wizard Era'. Similar to the Cultivation Era, the Wizard Era completely inherits the world system of the Third Era of Miracles. Magical power still exists, but the level and effects of magic throughout the world have been greatly compressed, making it only a low-magic era.

The once powerful wizards have degenerated into low-level wizards and witches, relying on wands to cast spells. Furthermore, as magic power weakens, the world has slowly given rise to werewolves, vampires, demon hunters, alchemists, and other races that rely on physical mutations and gadgets to fight.

"After the destruction of the Fifth Era, the world's energy level plummeted again. The subsequent Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Eras are known as the Lower Three Eras."

"The Sixth Age is a mechanical age.

After discovering that only one tenth of the world's supernatural energy remained, the creatures of the Sixth Era didn't continue to pick up on the myths or miracles. Instead, they more ambitiously set their sights on the First Era, extensively excavating and studying its relics. Fortunately, from the many roots of the First Era, they completely rebuilt the "mechanical" divine power. From then on, they embarked on a path of technological advancement, ultimately reaching the pinnacle of the fusion of human and machine, achieving universal mechanical ascension.

"It was precisely because of the unity and hard work of the Sixth Era's beings that the Sixth Era, which was originally expected to decline significantly, ended up being on par with the Fourth and Fifth Eras in terms of overall strength. Therefore, many people merged the Sixth Era with the Fourth and Fifth Eras, collectively calling these three Eras the Middle Three Eras."

"As for the Seventh and Eighth Eras, they failed to experience the same miracle of reverse development as the Sixth Era. Instead, due to the excessive decline of the world's overall energy, they fell further to the bottom.

The Seventh Era relied on the extensive excavation of the remains of the major cultivation sects of the Fourth Era to evolve "internal force", a lower-level substitute for true qi, and eventually evolved into an era of chivalry and martial arts. However, the overall energy level is actually not much different from our current era.

As for the final Eighth Era, it chose to inherit the magic system of the Fifth Era. However, the magic power of this period was too weak to be used for magic. The creatures of the Eighth Era ultimately chose the branch of 'alchemists' and pursued the path of alchemy, eventually forming a civilization whose main method of combat was to refine and use items. This is known as the Alchemy Era.

……

This was the end of the information about Ji Yuan. Yang Xu was silent for a long time after reading it.

As expected, it was almost as he guessed. The inheritance from generation to generation in the first eight eras was a process of continuous decline in energy levels. Only in the sixth era did it rise slightly, but it still could not change the overall downward trend.

By the Ninth Era, there is no more supernatural energy on the Blue Planet. Humans can only dig up the treasures of their ancestors in the mirror world and use their skin to play the role of their ancestors to indirectly feel the glory that their ancestors experienced.

So what about the next 10th epoch? Will the decline continue?
But they no longer possess extraordinary energy, so how much lower can they fall? Or perhaps the real question is, will there even be a Tenth Era?

　It should be mentioned that Mirror Ghosts are not only mythological monsters. Monsters from the second to the eighth era will appear. It’s just that the region will affect the appearance probability of different Mirror Ghosts. For example, in the cities of the Eastern Continent, there will be more mythological monsters, and in the Western Continent, there will be more Western fantasy monsters. It mainly depends on the regional popularity.
