Eternal Sun

Opening the first page of the travelogue, there is an introduction that is like a table of contents.

I have to say that the person who wrote this book is really talented.

Judging from the catalog, this travelogue should record the different geographical features of the entire Central Continent, the development of different countries, local customs and practices, including many strange stories.

As Yang Sheng continued to read, he finally had a very concrete concept of the world he was now traveling through.

……

This book was written not too long ago, probably about thirty years ago.

I think that even after thirty years, there shouldn't be any major subversive changes in the so-called Central Continent today.

In this travelogue, the first thing introduced is the overall topography of the entire central continent.

According to Yang Sheng's own understanding of the description in this travelogue, the entire Central Continent is probably a supercontinent with a width of no more than 300,000 kilometers from east to west and no more than 220,000 kilometers from north to south.

The area of ​​this continent alone is about a hundred times larger than the total area of ​​Chenxing.

You should know that the circumference of Jupiter is only more than 40,000 kilometers, and its total surface area is only more than 600 million square kilometers.

It’s amazing to think that the author of this book actually knows the approximate area of ​​the entire continent, which means that he may have tested it personally.

"It's incredible. The civilization of this world doesn't seem to be as advanced as that of Chenxing, but it can span such a long distance. It's amazing!"

But in a flash, Yang Sheng thought of the peculiarities of the animals on the land where he was. It was obvious that this was not a simple and ordinary world.

There are incredible supernatural powers in this world, so the author of this book is very likely one of them.

Thinking about it this way, Yang Sheng suddenly felt that it made a lot more sense.

However, now think of the huge area of ​​the Central Continent.

In comparison, the land where Yang Sheng and his people live now cannot be called a continent.

Compared with the vast size of the Central Continent, the land they are on is at most a large island.

"This is really... I don't know what to say."

Yang Sheng smiled and shook his head, then continued reading.

……

The terrain of the entire central continent is complex and varied, with all kinds of terrain.

There are mountains, jungles, grasslands, basins, snow-capped mountains, forests, etc.

But overall, there are three main terrains.

The three major terrains are the Sunset Plains, the Prominence Mountains, and the No Return Forest.

The Sunset Plains occupies most of the area of ​​the entire Central Continent, and most of the civilizations on the entire Central Continent are gathered on this huge plain.

To the north of the Sunset Plains is the Solar Prominence Mountains, which stretch for unknown miles. Its vast length and towering altitude completely block the cold currents from the north.

This makes the climate of Sunset Plains very suitable for biological survival.

However, the Solar Prominence Mountains themselves are a bitterly cold place with a cold climate and a high altitude. Any life that can survive there should not be underestimated.

But because of the special climate, the life there is extremely tough.

Located southeast of Sunset Plains is the No Return Forest.

The reason for this name is that almost no life can walk out alive after entering it. It is a place where one can enter but never return.

Of course, this mainly refers to the depths of the No Return Forest. In the outer areas, the biological resources here are extremely rich and are an important reliance for the survival of nearby civilizations.

In addition to these three major terrains, all other terrains are scattered among the three major terrains, and the total area is less than one-tenth of the central continent.

Later, the book introduced many different kinds of strange life forms in the Central Continent.

Including the previous introduction, it takes up about one-third of the entire travelogue.

After that, we began to introduce the intelligent life existing on the Central Continent.

……

It is worth mentioning that according to the records in the book, some of the main intelligent life races on the entire Sunset Plain are very similar to humans, which are the tall humanoid skeletons that Yang Yun saw at the beginning.

Of course, in addition to these, there are also some other highly intelligent races on this continent.

Seeing this, Yang Sheng turned his head and looked at the humanoid skeleton placed on the chair by Yang Yun.

"Similar in appearance to humans, but generally much taller."

Then, Yang Sheng continued to look down.

He first skipped over some of the introductions to past history and the diverse local customs and practices.

He first looked at the power structure of the Central Continent when this book was written.

……

In this book, hundreds of years ago, there were many races in the Central Continent, and they were fighting against each other.

Until more than a hundred years ago, several of the most powerful races established their own countries.

The author of this book comes from a country called Dasheng Kingdom.

The main body of the country is composed of three-meter-tall humanoid life forms, which Yang Sheng temporarily calls humans.

Overall, most of these humans have yellow skin, but their hair and pupil colors vary.

Adjacent to the Dasheng Kingdom is a human kingdom called the Xise Kingdom. Although the humans in this kingdom are somewhat similar to those in the Dasheng Kingdom, they are only two meters tall.

In the entire central continent, these two countries are the only ones dominated by humans.

Therefore, although there are occasional conflicts between them and some dirty deeds in private, overall they are allies who help each other.

At the same time, these two countries are also the leading powers in the entire Central Continent.

In addition to these two countries, there are a total of seven complete countries on the Central Continent today.

In other words, the nine countries in the central continent are now divided, and each occupies a vast area for development.

Because the Sunset Plains is large enough, there is no conflict over resources for the time being.

By the time this book was written, peace had been maintained between the nine countries for about a hundred years.

Of course, it is just overall peace, and occasional friction and conflict are inevitable.

……

It is worth mentioning that we don’t know whether it is due to some force majeure or some other reason.

Among the remaining seven countries, except for one kingdom, the dominant races in the other six countries are all humanoid life forms.

In other words, they are all a race that walks upright, has one head, two arms, and two legs.

However, it is not certain what the head, arms, and legs will look like, and in addition to these, they may have some other parts on their bodies.

The only country that is not controlled by humanoid life forms has a racial entity similar to some amorphous fluid substance.

In other words, as long as he wanted, he could also pinch himself into a humanoid form.

The names of these seven countries also reflect the characteristics of the main races. After Yang Sheng's own understanding, he named them the Transformation Kingdom, the Platinum Kingdom, the Kingdom of Beasts, the Soul-Destroying Kingdom, the Kingdom of Thousands of Sects, the Lingyao Kingdom and the most powerful Fifth Kingdom.

Together with the Dasheng Kingdom and the Xisai Kingdom, the nine kingdoms divided up most of the habitable areas in the entire central continent.

The remaining scraps are occupied by some ethnic groups and weak forces.

……

As for other details, Yang Sheng did not continue watching for the time being, but continued to flip to the back.

Finally, when he turned to the last part of the entire record, Yang Sheng saw the content that interested him more.

That is the introduction to the extraordinary power of this world!

Although there was no extremely detailed description, Yang Sheng himself did not need it.

It is enough for him to know what the supernatural power of this world is like.

After reading it, Yang Sheng looked a little strange.

"What is this? An alien version of a martial arts world?"

Originally, Yang Sheng was expecting that the extraordinary powers in this world would be able to possess extraordinary and even overwhelming powers like himself and his clansmen.

Or control the incredible power of various elements, phenomena, concepts, etc.

Even if he can't be like himself, he is almost omnipotent after unleashing his power!

At least he should be able to mobilize his power at will like his fellow tribesmen, and be able to affect an area of ​​at least hundreds of meters in radius.

After reading it, Yang Sheng found that his expectations were too high.

I don’t know if it’s because the author of this book is not at a high enough level, or if this world is really like this.

Through the description in the book, Yang Sheng knew that although there were nine separate kingdoms in the Central Continent, there were also many other intelligent races. Overall, it looked somewhat similar to the Western fantasy world.

But in fact, the Central Continent does not have the kind of extraordinary power that one imagines.

To be precise, there are some, but they are very weak. They are similar to the unorthodox methods of the ancient magicians in Chenxing, and can be regarded as a method that is not worthy of being displayed on the public.

At the same time, although some races in the Nine Countries seem to be quite intimidating, in fact, the power they wield is still based on their own bodies.

In other words, the supernatural powers on the Central Continent as a whole are still something similar to martial arts.

And it's not the kind of martial arts that can easily chop out a forty-meter-long sword energy.

At least the most powerful existence that the author of this book has ever seen, according to Yang Sheng's estimation, should be at the level of "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

Maybe it is slightly beyond that, but generally it must be within this range.

Of course, what we are talking about here is only the strength of the special powers they possess.

……

According to the records in the book, there is a magical power between heaven and earth in the Central Continent.

However, only the most powerful people can wield this kind of power.

Others simply strengthen themselves by taking in nutrients from a variety of foods and medicinal herbs.

Compared to martial arts novels, the only difference between the life forms in the Central Continent is that their physiques are much stronger than those of humans on Chenxing.

Otherwise, how could a civilization that has not reached a very high level occupy such a vast territory?

You know, in an era when communications and transportation are underdeveloped, no matter how powerful a country is, the area it can reach and fully control is limited.

Now Yang Sheng can be sure that the level of civilization of many countries on the Central Continent is roughly the same as that of the feudal period on Chenxing.

The only possibility for each of their countries to control such a vast area is that these lives themselves are physically stronger and can reach farther places in a shorter time.

Yang Sheng had actually anticipated this. After all, the animals on the island where they were located were much stronger than those on Chenxing.

From this, it can be inferred that the life forms on the Central Continent must not be weaker than those on this island.

……

And because the lives on the Central Continent trade with each other, they also use precious metals such as gold, silver and copper.

So after an unknown amount of time of evolution, all life today has divided the currently known levels of cultivation into four grades: gold, silver, copper, and iron.

The iron level is just a makeshift level. As long as one has a good family background and then exercises seriously for a period of time and supplements nutrition in time, basically anyone can reach this level.

Below this level are the most ordinary lives.

Above this level is the level called Red Copper.

Red copper is the most widely used currency for all life transactions in the Central Continent.

Similarly, this level of life is also the most common on the central continent.

The life forms at this level are extremely powerful, and with the various fighting techniques they employ, it is easy for them to defeat ten people at once, and the best ones can even defeat a hundred at once.

Above the red copper is the bright silver step, also known as the silver step.

One hundred red copper coins are equal to one bright silver coin, and a strong person at this level can occupy a place in the entire Central Continent.

If you go to remote areas, it is easy to become a local emperor.

Because the strong men at this level have undergone another transformation and have become true enemies of thousands of people.

In other words, if they were properly equipped, they would be able to kill more than a thousand Iron-level beings before they ran out of energy.

Even a copper-level being can fight ten or even twenty at once.

A being of this level could be a general even in the Dasheng Kingdom.

The highest level is called the Gold Level, and ten silver coins are equal to one gold coin.

As the highest-level existence currently known in the Central Continent, he is truly an enemy of ten thousand men.

It is also one of the important criteria for measuring a country's strength.

A country, even if its population, national strength, and other foundation, including the number of people at the copper and silver levels, are relatively weak.

But as long as there are enough gold-level strongmen in a country, it will be a powerful country.

I want to state here that the reason why these levels of strong men can defeat hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people is that they rely more on their extremely strong physique and super endurance.

In fact, even the strong ones at the gold level cannot swing their swords to produce a sword energy of forty meters, because this involves special energy.

But if one just relies on his strong physique to swing it forcefully, the airflow it causes can easily knock over a life dozens of meters away.

At the end of the book, the author vaguely mentioned that there seemed to be a higher level above the gold level, but he had no chance to see it.

……

"Snapped!"

Yang Sheng gently closed the book, and for some reason he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

At the same time, he felt that his vision suddenly became clear.

Originally, Yang Sheng was still worried that if they discovered traces of civilization this time, he might wonder whether an extremely powerful existence would appear and threaten the safety of the tribe.

Now after reading this book, Yang Sheng feels that his worries have been cured in an instant.

If everything in the book is relatively accurate, then Yang Sheng feels that even if they no longer transform in the future.

With his current strength, he is confident that he can lead his people to sweep across the entire Central Continent.

"That's great. This way, the tribesmen can develop with peace of mind."

As he spoke, Yang Sheng picked up another book and started reading it again.
