Zhua arrived at the library and stepped inside.
Rows upon rows of books stretched before him.
No not rows, but hundreds of towering shelves packed with books.
The corridors were immense, seemingly endless.
After registering with the librarian, he began wandering through the aisles.
The books about dragons have to be somewhere, Zhua thought.
Several minutes passed.
He searched for quite some time but found nothing relevant.
Eventually, he arrived at the section dedicated to the Primordial Gods.
Curious, he wandered through the shelves and randomly pulled out a book.
Futility: The Beginning of Everything
Zhua opened it and began to read.
In the beginning, there was nothing but the Infernal Void, where nothing resided.
No concepts existed.
No laws existed.
No life existed.
Then, at an unknown moment, a sphere of light shining brighter than a supernova appeared within the endless void.
Then another.
Again and again.
Nineteen more spheres appeared.
These were the Twenty Primordial Gods—beings who transcended all things, even the concept of ranks themselves.
Each of them created a kingdom layered above the others, forming the foundation of the system that exists today.
However, they did not create the Great Silver Tower.
On the Second Day, the Primordial Goddess of Destiny created Fate itself, as well as the Cosmic Kingdom.
From her flesh were born the Dragons.
Their horns allowed them to control their wild and uncontrollable powers.
Their claws could tear through anything, even that which was immaterial.
Their eyes could perceive what others could not.
Their scales could withstand the collapse of mountains, just as they had during the dawn of the universe.
And they became the founders of every form of sorcery known today.
The Primordial God of Darkness created the Underworld and the Demons—beings filled with pure malice and endless curses.
The Primordial Goddess of Life and Death created the Realm of the Dead as well as the World of Life, where we now live alongside Dragons, Elves, and Beastkin. Enjoying the story? Read on at novelping.com.
The Primordial God of Combat created the Titans, the Giants, and a kingdom whose existence remains unknown.
The Primordial Spectral Goddess created the Spirit Realm, along with the Elves, Fairies, and all spiritual creatures.
Zhua was about to continue reading.
Suddenly.
The ground began to tremble violently.
Books fell from the shelves and crashed onto the floor.
People immediately began to panic.
Cracks spread across the ground beneath their feet.
Without hesitation, Zhua threw the book aside and sprinted outside.
The moment he emerged from the library, he froze.
A massive rupture had opened in the sky itself.
A colossal hand was emerging from the breach.
Zhua’s golden eyes widened.
“A Dungeon Break…!”
No.
This was far beyond a normal Dungeon Break.
The very heavens seemed to be splitting apart.
