Chapter 216 Hidden History (1/2)
”The New Age was given this name because it signaled the change to a new age!” Gilian sat down, and Dark auras surrounded both of them. This could prevent the dragon eggs from detecting them. She continued saying, ”Humans have limited lifespans, but they always felt that they can remain in their prime for eternity, and hence they named their reign as The New Age. However, what they don't understand is this: eternity never existed for anyone. Perhaps after a thousand, ten thousand, or hundred thousands of years, the human civilization will come to an end!
”There will always be a group of beings who will live to see the change of the different reigns. These group of beings will either be forgotten or survive through times with their natural or supernatural powers. In fact, they may even become the crux of the new reigns and manipulate the whole world to change according to their wishes. These beings will then be known as the Heroes!
”The New Age created by the human beings which we see now is an oddity among all the various reigns. How can the weak humans ever become the true rulers of these beautiful lands? If one studied the history, one can see plainly that all those who ruled previously were either the Dragons, Elements, or Devils, and all of them had one thing in common—they are powerful races!
”The reason why humans managed to become the rulers of this new reign was due to the appearance of a mysterious race when the world was about to erupt in the flames of war—the Gods! They claimed to be the pioneers and the creators of this world!
”There were only 12 Gods around. They were enshrouded in Holy Light, and though they gave off amiable vibes, no one could resist their words or rebel against their orders. One of them held double swords in his hands, and fend off the formidable combined attacks from the Devils and Dragons single-handedly! He hence won the respect of all, and he made all the races sign a contract… Ah!”
The back of Gilian's head suddenly exploded, and dark-red blood spurted out!
Lin Jie's pupils constricted—this was a system punishment! If one wanted to use more fancy terms, this situation could be described as a heavenly oracle or sign… In Lin Jie's previous life, he had been familiar with all kinds of hidden histories, but those had been mostly about stuff like the Holy Church's devious schemes to conquer the lands, the conflicts between the Holy Church and the Empire, etc… Yet Gilian now was rattling off generously and revealing all the hidden, restricted secrets of The New Age's beginnings—it was already considered lucky that she wasn't deleted straight off from the game immediately!
In Lin Jie's previous life, players could often discover large amounts of abandoned ancient sites once they reached higher levels. The creatures inside those places were unaffected by the passing of times, and they were terrifyingly powerful—it seemed like all these had to do with the mysterious Gods!
”Gilian, that God who wielded both swords, do you know how he looked like? Are there any obvious descriptors—even if it was just some parts about his body? Or maybe about his weapons? Quick, tell me!” asked Lin Jie excitedly.

Gilian regained consciousness after a while. She blinked and asked in a puzzled manner, ”Human, what queer things are you talking about?”
Lin Jie was taken aback by her reaction, but realization dawned upon him the next moment—she was being brainwashed by the system!
”Do you still remember that you are telling me some secrets?”
”Of course,” Gilian's expression turned serious as she commented.
”What I am going to tell you now is the Secret legends of the Guild of Light and the Dark Shrine!”
Lin Jie's heart flopped. It seemed like her memory of the beginnings of The New Age was being erased—what a pity! After all, it wasn't easy to know the game's history settings and creation myths. These were definitely much more interesting than the official history records which just sang praises about the Guild of Light all the time!
'What a pity…'
”No one knew how the name of 'The New Age' came to be. It has always been known as The New Age since the world was being formed! The lands in our world were divided into three parts: the eastern lands which were being ruled by the Guild of Light. On these lands, there are plentiful resources, and the environment is great. They are ruled by human beings and Elves.
”Meanwhile, the Tribe of Darkness ruled over the north-western deserts. There, the environments are harsh, and there were many political conflicts among the Tribe of Darkness, including the Undead Kingdom which was enshrouded in darkness all day long and the City of War which was ruled by the Orcs!”
