The island is mainly divided into two parts: Beizhou and Nanhai.
Beizhou is where Zhouzhou people live. They can gather, fish, hunt, use leather and wood, and make simple medicinal herbs. They have established villages very early.
The people of Zhouzhou developed rapidly at one time. At their peak, their number reached 150,000. Piers were spread all over the headlands and beaches of Beizhou, and roads extending in all directions connected every village.
They have great ambitions to conquer the ocean and leave the mark of the north on every island on the sea.
The sea began to become the hunting ground and road for Zhouzhou people. Their ships headed towards the depths of the southern sea to explore the limits of this world.
However, during a change of era, the people of Zhouzhou suffered a devastating blow.
The New Age has caused an increase in the number of animals called cane toads. Cane toads were originally small, inconspicuous animals that usually hid in shallow seas and hunted insects for food, and were highly toxic.
After the number of cane toads increased, they began to come ashore to look for food.
The toxins they carried caused the death of livestock raised by Zhouzhou people in large numbers, and people who came into contact with them were also poisoned and died one after another.
The people of Zhouzhou had to recall the sea members and make every effort to eliminate the toads in Beizhou.
Cane toads have strong fecundity and like to hide in the sea, making them difficult to eradicate completely.
This war between Zhouzhou people and toads lasted for a long time, until the next era, an animal called the weaver bird grew stronger and began to hunt toads, finally curbing the damage of toads.
After this poisonous disaster, the people of Zhouzhou have been severely weakened.
Toad poison has directly or indirectly caused the death of more than 30,000 people, the vast majority of whom were elderly people in Zhouzhou.
The successive deaths of old people have severely disrupted the knowledge inheritance of Zhouzhou people. The society has lost the hub and buffer connecting the new and old groups, and has become extremely unstable.
In order to compete for resources, Zhouzhou people in different regions frequently clashed and fought, and civilization even entered a temporary regression.
At the same time, the population in the southern deep sea is growing rapidly.
Unlike the Zhouzhou people who developed civilization early on, the Jiao people have maintained a beast-like life for thousands of years. Their enlightenment came from eating the corpses of Zhouzhou people and using sunken ships on the seabed.
Zhouzhou people have a custom of sea burial. The deceased will be loaded into a boat by the living and allowed to float into the sea. They believe that the deceased will return to the north in another way through the flow of the ocean.
The corpses buried at sea have become food for fish schools.
The poisonous toad disaster caused the corpses of tens of thousands of Zhouzhou people to float into the sea. As a result, people gradually gained wisdom while eating and observing.
In the past, Jiaoren would run away and hide when they encountered Zhouzhou people, fearing to be hit by their fishhooks and spears. But after eating many corpses, they became bolder - the Zhouzhou people today are not
Stronger.
A long time ago, the Zhouzhou people were very interested in Jiaoren, because this underwater creature has a human-like form. They were full of curiosity and respect for the Zhouzhou people's ships, and would exchange pearls for the Zhouzhou people's livestock and fruits.
In its heyday, the people of Zhouzhou would give food to people and teach them how to weave with rope or rattan, showing a kind of kingly aura to rule the world.
At that time, the friends were also sincerely convinced, and they would always take the initiative to greet Zhouzhou people's ships and guide them into safe waters.
But now the people of Zhouzhou have become weak and lack everything. They no longer have the high spirits they had before.
The Zhouzhou people hunted and tied humans with ropes and hooks, and sent them to the sea to find pearls and corals.
The strong Jiaoren became the underwater collectors of Zhouzhou people, the weak Jiaoren were used to feed livestock, and the bodies of Jiaoren became bait to attract more Jiaoren.
The anger that had been suppressed for many years finally broke out at a certain moment.
The friends began to fight back wildly. They sank ships, destroyed docks, and dragged Zhouzhou people under the water to drown. They raised a large number of cane toads and threw these poisons into the villages and settlements of Zhouzhou people.
As soon as the Zhouzhou people's ships enter the southern sea, they will be attacked by Jiaoren, causing the ship to sink or be attacked by some deep-sea monsters.
The hatred between the two groups is deepening day by day.
At this moment, the coir raincoat finally took action.
The god who rules the world sends out his apostles.
The apostle announced the oracle of peaceful co-governance of the two races and also suspended the protracted civil war.
Two more epochs passed, and the hatred was gradually washed away by time, and Zhouzhou and Jiaoren began to cooperate.
They traded with each other, and fruits, grains, and livestock from the north were transported by ship to the south on the sea, and exchanged for oysters, fish, sea vegetables, pearls, and corals in the sea.
Jiaoren learned simple hand-woven textiles and leather processing from Zhouzhou people, and Zhouzhou people learned from Jiaoren how to identify the position on the sea and how to avoid dangerous sea areas.
The land provides livestock, fruits, vegetables, and herbs that are not available in the sea, while the sea provides a large amount of fish, meat, and various ores that are lacking on the surface.
The land and sea races have entered the honeymoon period, and the [Red Coral Mirage] is the witness and creation of this period.
The existence of red coral and mirage allows Zhouzhou people and friends to see each other across the sea. The mirror formed by the refraction of the mirage makes their mutual worlds clearly visible, which makes transactions and communication smoother and faster.
The northern land and the southern ocean are connected in an unprecedented way.
Later, the god Coirellia became the god of the dragon clan, and nine grain pillars were fixed under the island and sea.
Dragons of various shapes began to appear in this world.
Their mere existence and appearance have brought a series of changes and opportunities to the world. The existence of dragons has also made Zhouzhou people and Jiaoren people more cautious and joined each other for warmth.
This is also the time when the island is most peaceful and stable.
In the sixth era, the gods and dragons suddenly left the Nine Harvest Pillar, and then the Nine Harvest Pillar was destroyed, and the fire of faith in the entire world was quickly extinguished.
There is no sign of the fall of the gods, but the great changes in the world have quietly arrived.
In the 7th Era, the entire world entered an era of extreme cold. The northern land was covered and submerged by heavy snow, strips of ice grew on the promontories, and the sea surface in the offshore areas turned into thick solid ice. A large number of land animals died in the cold, and trees
It is also constantly withering and collapsing.

The biggest source of food for the Zhouzhou people became the ocean. They dug through the ice to catch fish and asked for help from Jiaoren.
At this time, Jiaoren's long-standing resentment and ambition to conquer the land were no longer hidden. They rejected the Zhouzhou people's request, blocked the coastline, and prohibited the Zhouzhou people from setting foot in the sea.
There are fewer and fewer trees, and the fuel for burning fires and heating is quickly running out. Zhouzhou people are desperately looking for food and firewood everywhere.
But the reserves on land were already a drop in the bucket, and eventually, the people of Zhouzhou perished completely in this long and cold era.
A new era dawned, the ice melted, and the ground and oceans regained warmth and moisture.
The friends celebrated each other, they finally ended the humiliation of the past, completely wiped out the Zhouzhou people, and became the only civilization master in the world.
However, temperatures continue to rise.
In the 8th Era, the entire island was plunged into extreme heat.
There are red and green algae floating on the sea surface. These algae are spread all over the water, causing a large number of fish in the sea to die or become sick. People who eat these fish are poisoned and infected.
Without the medical treatment provided by Zhouzhou people, Jiaoren cannot recover on their own, and their numbers continue to decrease.
While Jiaoren was weak, a ferocious small fish was born in the sea.
They have extremely strong survivability. They eat seaweed and all kinds of poisoned fish. Even if only half of their body is left, they can swim in the water for a long time.
The eating fish began to hunt the weak friends in groups, because the fat of the friends was delicious and provided a lot of strength.
In this hot and bright era, those who surrender will die and those who escape will escape.
They ultimately failed to survive this difficult period and fell prey to deep-sea monsters, retreating into their basic animalistic nature of survival and reproduction.
The once prosperous civilizations of the north and the south have come to an end in world records.
