Chapter 57: The Origin of Order and Chaos!
After Lorne entered the teleportation circle, he was not sent directly to the main city, but into a CG story cutscene.
The ground before him was changing rapidly.
It was as if time had accelerated by tens of thousands of times.
At the same time, an ancient voice sounded in the sky.
“A long, long time ago…”
“There were two divine dragons ruling this land. One was the Divine Dragon of Order that represented light and harmony, while the other was the Divine Dragon of Disorder that represented chaos and darkness.”
“They had their own believers, but because of the opposite ideology, the war between the believers continued. In the end, even the two divine dragons fell out.”
“Just like that, because of the dispute between the two divine dragons, the world-destroying war erupted!”
As soon as it finished speaking, a grand scene appeared.
The entire scene instantly changed as the sky and ground darkened.
In the next second, countless fireballs danced in the air, and glowing arrows covered heaven and earth. The warhorses neighed, and the beasts roared. A chaotic but grand battle scene entered his eyes.
In the sky, an incomparably huge black figure appeared.
It was an incomparably huge black dragon. Its wingspan exceeded 10,000 kilometers. Its armor was hideous and its aura was awe-inspiring.
The arrogant dragon head raised as terrifying black flames spewed from its bloody mouth, destroying a huge area.
In the face of this divine dragon, the entire world was extremely weak. The defense of those cities was also useless. With a wave of the dragon claw that was overflowing with black light, the entire city, and even the mountain range of tens of thousands of kilometers were destroyed.
At this moment, another brilliant divine dragon appeared.
It was the Divine Dragon of Order that carried endless holy light.
It spread its wings and flew high into the sky, engaging in an intense battle with the Divine Dragon of Disorder. A terrifying light covered the entire sky, and no one could see what was happening inside.
Like this, countless days and nights passed.
By the third year, the outcome of the battle was finally decided.
An incomparably huge figure fell from the sky to a huge and extremely long crack in the ground.
At this moment, an ancient voice sounded again.
“After the great war, the Divine Dragon of Disorder died, and its corpse fell into the endless abyss. In order to reconstruct the Divine Realm, the Divine Dragon of Order also sacrificed itself to restore the Divine Realm.”
“Since then, the Divine Realm regained its vitality and countless races appeared.”
“However, many years later, under the abyss, the corpse formed by the intertwining laws of chaos and darkness gradually demonized the creatures under the abyss, thereby creating the abyssal monsters!”
“Their thoughts were distorted by the violent laws of darkness, and they began to develop negative emotions such as ‘Slaughter’, ‘Greed’, and ‘Chaos’.”
“To the Abyss, the rules on the ground were hypocritical and useless. The so-called order is only a cover for greed and desire. Therefore, the Dark Abyss has begun to challenge the Human Empire to overthrow the orderly world.”
At the end of the words, the CG scene completely froze.
To the left of the scene was an extremely pitch-black abyss that spanned hundreds of millions of kilometers. The entire scene was pitch-black, as if it wanted to devour everything in the world.
To the right of the scene was an incomparably huge city. Divine light illuminated the entire land.
This was the mythical era hundreds of thousands of years ago, and it finally ended in destruction.
The believers of [Order] and [Chaos] officially stepped onto the world stage many years later.
…
“Is that the power of the divine dragon?”
Although the cutscene had ended, Lorne was still in shock and could not forget it for a long time.
At this moment, a system notification appeared.
Ding!
“Please choose your destination for your following adventure.”
With that, a huge map appeared in front of Lorne.
This was not a complete world map, but a part of the Order faction.
There was the Human Empire, as well as the kingdoms of the gnomes and elves. As an adventurer, Lorne could choose from the forces above.
The human players could go to the Gnome Kingdom, but that was only a human city in the region they were in charge of. They could not directly join the Gnome Kingdom.
Lorne looked at the Human Empire. The current Order faction was led by the Human Empire, so he had no intention of choosing other races.
As for which city to go to?
Lorne looked at a city called Iron Skull City.
This city sat on the empire’s northern border, resisting the icy plain calamity at all times.
From the perspective of a gamer, he had to go to a city with more wars, because more conflict meant more missions, and more missions meant faster leveling up.
Therefore, without thinking much, Lorne chose the most dangerous Iron Skull City!
Ding!
“Warning: Iron Skull City is the main city on the border of the Empire. It is constantly faced with the invasion of the northern icy plain calamity. It is at war all year round, and the difficulty of this main city is extremely high. Adventurer, please make a careful decision if you really want to go there.”
Lorne did not expect the system to give such a reminder.
It seemed that this main city was not easy to survive in.
However, Lorne was confident in his strength. He would not be intimidated by a warning.
“I’m sure.”
Lorne stuck to his decision.
Ding!
“Iron Skull City has been chosen as the target main city. We are about to teleport. Please prepare.”
As soon as the system notification sounded, an indigo light rose from Lorne’s body. Then, the scene changed, and he finally appeared in a simple town that was filled with the aura of another world.
This was a main city?
Wasn’t it too simple?
Lorne looked around and frowned.
But at that moment, a panel popped up.
Ding!
“Due to the special influence of the teleportation circle, you were sent to the [Green Rock Town] near Iron Skull City.”
It was indeed not Iron Skull City. This place was too simple and crude. It was only slightly better than the Beginner Village.
Lorne was not surprised. Being transferred here should be a storyline of the game. He would probably have to complete some hurdle before he could officially reach the main city, or there might be a special tool here that could change his fate.
In short, the game would not let the players suffer a loss.
As he thought, Lorne suddenly received a special mission.
Ding!
“Congratulations on accepting the mission: [Proof of Courage].”
“Mission Details: In order to test the strength of the adventurers, the commander of Iron Skull City, Klent, has specially set the teleportation location in Green Rock Town. If you can walk to the main city within five days, then every monster you kill on the way will bring you a special reward.”
This was a mission that was automatically accepted. The players could choose to proceed or reject it.
The players who rejected it could use the teleportation array in Green Rock Town to directly head to the main city.
Lorne did not choose to do that.
Since this was a mission, there was no reason to let it go.
Moreover, this mission was a little special. It did not limit the number of monsters killed.
To Lorne, this was the ideal type of mission. After all, his farming efficiency was more than a hundred times that of ordinary players!
With that in mind, Lorne did not pause. He walked out of the town.
