Introduction of ‘The first myth’
Tuesday, November 21st, 2006Mystical Game Settings
The original materials were drawn from the ancient Chinese classics “Creation of the Gods”
Around the years of 4500 AD., the Yellow Emperor who was known as the ancestor of the Chinese people, the Yan Emperor, and Jiu Li levied their tribes for a battle in Zhuolu of the central plains. Finally the battle ended up with the victory of the tribe of the Yellow Emperor, who unified the central plains thereafter. To reward his men, the leader of the tribe, Ji Xuanyuan conferred godship upon them. From then onwards, the boundary between gods and ordinary men was opened up, and all the Chinese mythical stories originated from there… 
A new era started in 1150 AD, when there were believed to be five directions in the human world, and the offspring of Xuan Yuan, Shen Nong, and Chi You lived there.
It was a world of uncertainty and chaos to everyone in that time– The indiscernible Apotheosis Ranking List, the complex Shang and Zhou factions, and the inexpressible interest of the people, all made them far more perplexed…
