Before humans existed, kingdoms and empires were established, and wars and conflicts were waged for power, might, and status in a world that did not yet know the political machinations of humans, their filth, and their dregs, several entities lived in this world.
These four entities were divided into types according to their nature, race, and power.
Monsters of various kinds and shapes were the most widespread race in this world due to the multiplicity of their genders, races, and factions. They were described and arranged according to the world they existed in, as fantasy worlds contain countless small worlds, also called normal worlds. Nevertheless, each normal world was infinite in size, had a temporal limit, and was a separate narrative from another world, albeit slightly. You could see entities with copies of themselves in other normal worlds, and at the same time, it was divided into five main worlds: the world of humans, the world of lower demons, upper dragons, and rulers, which was a separate world from the other four worlds. Nevertheless, not all worlds were divided in the same way; each normal world had its own cosmology.
The second type was entities of pure, sacred, or demonic and chaotic nature. These entities lived in the 5 worlds in their entirety and were divided into sacred and chaotic.
Pure and sacred entities lived in the world of humans, the upper realms, rulers, and dragons. In each world, there were different races and different levels of power, varying in intensity and ability.
Pure and sacred entities in the human world were called elves of light/darkness, and angels. They were considered descendants of the upper realms, dragons, and phoenixes, representing power, authority, and purity within the human world, and were considered the strongest races there.
In the upper realms and dragon worlds, the races were different from those in the human world, representing the peak of evolution for entities existing within the human world, i.e., elves, angels, dragons, and phoenixes.
And the last of them were the rulers, the most supreme race, called by several names according to culture. Mana users and ki-auras called them rulers or gods according to their cultures and religions. As for ordinary refiners, or Goo, or users of Qi, i.e., spiritual energy in general, they were called guardians of the will of heaven and earth.
As for demonic and chaotic entities, they were entities that lived in the lower world and among demons, and this type of entity possessed terrifying power that surpassed the power of humans and some entities living in the human, dragon, and upper realms.
Another type of creature lived in the human world, completely different from the rest of the races and other species that lived with it. These entities could be any creature among these creatures or even a non-living material entity that was alive at the same time. These entities were called Goo by their users, and they descended from the Trees of Existence, which were located in the middle of the normal world. These, in turn, were considered fruits of the supreme Tree of Existence, which was located in the middle of the fantasy world.
These entities possessed great power, stronger than almost all races and species, and were close to entities with conceptual and legal abilities.
The higher the rank of a Goo, the greater its power. It was capable of transcending material abilities to manipulate concepts and laws. However, their control over it started from weak, i.e., Goo of rank 6, to high, and it was Alpha Goo. This type of Goo was called Goo kings or Goo rulers for several reasons, the most important of which was their ability to manipulate multiple concepts and laws simultaneously. The maximum number of concepts or laws they could control was 5. This happened when a Goo of level 9 reached a thousand years without being refined by a Goo master, or reached two thousand years after being refined by a Goo master, who required him to be half a ruler or above to possess 4 or more Goo of rank 9 or 8. All of them could manipulate concepts or laws, so they made the Goo that reached two thousand years by devouring them to become an Alpha Goo, capable of manipulating concepts and laws at a high level.
These entities lived in all normal worlds, the 4 worlds within this normal world, and all planets where life was possible due to the availability of food for them.
This planet, on which there was one piece of land gathered, forming an area of varying terrain and climates extending for millions of square kilometers, was no exception.
The size of this planet, called Zihouaming Hua, was larger than several stars combined. Nevertheless, it maintained its form as a rocky planet thanks to the power of destruction and creation that made it.
The reason for their naming it Zihouaming Hua was unknown to them. They did not know why they were named Zihouaming Hua, yet they felt a sense of nostalgia for something dear to their hearts, as they were once one person who separated to become destruction and creation. Both destruction and creation were fundamentally aware of this, but each had a different mentality. Creation, or Alessandra, wanted a world free from destruction, a world where peace and harmony prevailed. On the other hand, Destruction, or Zao Li, had a completely different perspective. He saw the world more realistically and logically. The world is merciless. Heaven and earth are not with anyone. Whoever is not the strongest will be trampled upon by the strong.
The law of this world was simple and difficult at the same time. Either you are strong, and no one dares to step on you, or you are a pile of filth, and no one will care to step on you. It was a very simple matter: either you are the prey, or you are the bottom, with no middle ground, because the middle ground is where you are trampled upon by the strong and rising talents to be a stepping stone for them to show themselves to the world.
This happened on Earth: rising talents started with known personalities and were not in the first positions to use them to showcase their abilities and skills. New countries started with weak countries to show their political, social abilities, and the country's raw power in all fields of industry, agriculture, medicine, technology, and weapons when wars occurred between them and countries with international status but not the strongest at the same time.
This applied to this world: strength, intelligence, and exploiting opportunities were the only way to prosper and live to reach the pinnacle of this merciless world that leaves nothing above its will or to challenge it.
In an underground area, inside a circular base built by a mysterious entity, neither creation nor destruction, an entity that surpassed them in power, this base was filled with protection runes and provided a suitable temperature for nurturing something that pulsed inside a cocoon resembling a womb. There were two faint lights, black and white, that lit up and then went out at a regular pace.
Several minutes passed, and the white light, representing Yin, and the black light, representing Yang, began to increase in brightness every second, and a small energy began to form gradually, emitting waves of Yang and Yin energy into the air.
This was the beginning of the emergence of the first humans on this planet, or rather, in this fantasy world. It was the spark of humanity in this fantasy world.
The cocoon, resembling a woman's womb, began to turn into particles of dust in black and white, glowing with a faint light, revealing a young man and a woman. The young man symbolized Yang, and the woman symbolized Yin. This was logical, as Yang exists in men and Yin in women. This was clear in ancient civilizations like Chinese from ancient times.
Alessandra was a beautiful woman wearing a white, loose Hanfu that matched her long white hair and light purple eyes. A complex golden aura surrounded her, full of life and prosperity. On the other hand, Zao Li was a man with a strong physique and an attractive appearance that captivated any woman. He wore a dark crimson robe that matched his dark crimson hair and deep black eyes. A tyrannical, despotic aura filled with the scent of death and destruction surrounded him. However, their auras were weak compared to when they were in one body, Ji Yao Li. Their power then surpassed Beyond-Existence rank fighters, then decreased significantly after the damage caused by the betrayal of the sacred Tree of Existence guardians and his separation into two people. Nevertheless, each of them was devoid of Ji Yao Li's soul. The soul's location was unknown. This caused them a permanent void in their beings and caused them to lose 90% of their power, becoming Low Outerverse rank entities after being Beyond-Existence rank entities. This was due to several reasons: their power was sealed by 99% because they were soulless, and the soul, in turn, carried 90% of Ji Yao Li's power, which was itself completely sealed. Thus, they were extremely weak, unable to impose their authority on the fantasy world they created with their own hands. The creator is weak and has no authority over the strong creation; this was the law of the world: the creator must be stronger than the creation to control it.
The gaze of each of them was sharp and steady, showing no kindness or affection. This was due to their numerous battles that exacerbated the situation, making them weaker and losing all memories of their past lives as Ji Yao Li. They only remembered that they were one entity and separated.
So each of them decided to go their own way and live a new life away from each other.
"Shouldn't each of us go their own way, Alessandra?"
Zao Li's tone was sharp as sword blades, yet Alessandra was completely unaffected by his words. She left the place, leaving a complex look on her face before disappearing completely.
Zao Li contemplated the place where he was born again, speaking in a calm tone.
"Time is a single river, but it has many outlets. It repeats itself by repeating events, called either time repeating itself or us being in a vicious cycle that repeats itself endlessly. Yet, why do I feel that this matter will not end this way?"
Zao Li sighed a deep sigh as he disappeared, leaving the base with features resembling Alessandra's complex features. Their paths were unknown and filled with endless conflicts that would never end as long as the void that gnaws at them from within forced them to fight and eternal separation. The body without a soul is like an empty shell, carrying nothing but the will to live left from that soul that disappeared and will not return unless fate wills it.
