"In ancient times, the world was not differentiated, shrouded in heavy fog, and surrounded by gray rocks, towering trees and immortal ancient dragons. But one day the first fire was lit, and all the differences were born.
and heat, life and death, light and darkness.”
This is the CG scene at the beginning of the Dark Souls game, and it is also the origin theory of the Dark Souls world.
Different from general creation myths, the origin of the Black Soul world is not the creation god, but objects, just like the origin of Nordic mythology.
In all the creation myths handed down, there is almost a creation god-like existence, such as Chaos Chaos in Greek mythology, Brahma, the god of creation in Indian mythology, Pangu in Chinese mythology, etc.
Although the process is different, these gods all opened up the world from nothingness, but only in Nordic mythology, the world was not created by the creation god, but the world grew out of the world tree.
At this point, the Black Soul World is almost exactly the same as Nordic mythology. If the big rock tree wins the right to open up the world, then the direction of the Black Soul World may really be exactly the same as in Nordic mythology. The world will be born on the big rock tree.
Life is born from trees.
But no if, in the fight for the right to develop the world, the first fire that naturally restrained the big tree won and became the fire of creation.
But it is a pity that the First Fire does not have the ability to give the world the ability to be self-sufficient.
After the First Fire created the world, the First Fire, which successfully suppressed the big tree, began to consume the foundation of the rocky tree as fuel to continue the world he created.
But when the foundation of the rocky tree is burned out, the initial fire can only gradually dim, because the burning of the flame requires energy, and the initial fire itself cannot produce and sell itself, so the black soul based on the flame
The world can only fall into decline.
The so-called spreading of fire, that is, using gods with powerful souls as firewood, can only temporarily continue the process of extinguishing the flame.
Therefore, if you want to save the Black Soul World, you cannot let the First Fire become the source of the continuation of the world. This is also the goal set by Xia Yu from the beginning, which is to usurp the First Fire.
After that, we will find ways to speed up the recovery of the big rock tree, directly skip the deep sea era, and let the new world tree era come.
Although the big rock tree has been burned to almost no foundation due to the initial fire, in fact, the details of the Black Soul World illustrate one thing, and that is reincarnation and cycle. Whether it is the big rock tree or the initial fire, both
There is no concept of complete dissipation.
Even if the first fire will eventually go out, a small fire ball will eventually ignite in the darkness, and that is the first fire that will be ignited again.
The big rock tree, which has the same personality as the First Fire, will not completely wither and die due to a momentary failure. Both of them have the divinity to open up the world, but one is a tree and the other is a fire.
But this external image also brings about the nature of trees and fire, which is why trees are no match for fire. The world of black souls appeared in the context of fire defeating trees.
Of course, this does not mean that fire will definitely defeat trees. The original ancient dragon war was a war between fire and trees.
When the world was undifferentiated, the fog that filled everything was the chaos that obscured the world. The surrounding gray rocks, towering trees, and immortal ancient dragons were actually part of the big rock tree.
At this time, the direction of the world should have been that the rocky tree used chaos as energy to develop itself, and finally the world was born on its branches.
But one day, the fire was lit, and the concepts of cold and heat, life and death, light and darkness were born.
Because of the emergence of the concept of life, fire created the first species in darkness, and because of the relationship between fire and these species, species are more susceptible to the temptation of fire.
But this is obviously not enough, because these species have no souls and cannot be called life.
Therefore, fire differentiated souls near itself, and these species that were attracted by fire also successfully obtained the king's soul around fire.
The king's soul brought them the power to declare war on the ancient dragon, and this was also the war between the fire and the tree, their war for the right to create the world.
It is precisely for this reason that the several species that obtained the soul of the king did not kill each other, but chose to form an alliance and challenge the immortal ancient dragon.
Because their will comes from their souls, and their souls come from the primordial fire, the lives in the black soul world are naturally close to the flame.
This is also the reason why Sun King Gwen would rather throw himself into the initial furnace to continue the Age of Fire. Whether it is the undead or ashes, it is one of the insurances King Gwen has made to prevent the initial fire from extinguishing.
Here, no matter how many people are sacrificed, as long as the Age of Fire continues, it is a success.
Fire prevention women are also one of the insurances. No one cares about what fire prevention women think. They are also one of the tools for spreading fire, just like ashes.
Behind every successful fire bearer is the remains of a fire-proof woman.
As a fireproof girl who serves the fire bearer, she will never complain. Even if she loses her eyes, she will only quietly wait for the future of death.
Their deaths were neither great nor profound. They just dumped their bodies in a random place and piled the densely packed corpses together.
But even with such a tragic ending, there are still countless fire prevention girls who perform their duties.
They will silently accompany the fire bearer they serve until the fire bearer's mission is completed. They will also quietly welcome death and the ending of being thrown aside casually. No one will commemorate her, and nothing will be left behind.
There is only the not noble title of fire prevention girl.
Fireproof girls know this outcome well, but they will not resist. They will only quietly wait for their ending, because this is the mission of fireproof girls. The moment they become fireproof girls, they have already given up.
everything.
Now, the fire-prevention woman who serves Xia Yu was once a fire-prevention woman who quietly waited for death.
Even though Xia Yu is a strange ember, he treats her like a lover, but the fire-proof girl has never changed her mind, because the other person is destined to spread fire, and she is also destined to face the fate of being abandoned.
This is the ending of the Fire Girl and the Fire Bearer. It has been like this for thousands of years and has never changed.
This understanding had not changed until the day before.
But...when she felt the light again, this layer of understanding was shattered.
Feeling the bright light once again, and the gentle smiling person in front of her, the fire prevention girl was a little dazed. Even though she had already sensed this face, this was the first time she saw it with her own eyes.
"How is it? Can you adapt?"
Listening to Xia Yu's questioning, the fireproof girl turned her blue eyes and felt the vision that had long been forgotten in her memory.
At this moment, the fire prevention girl suddenly felt that the suffering she had suffered was just to meet Xia Yu.
Unknowingly, the long-dried tear glands burst into tears again. It was clear that I would no longer be sad, but why...
The fireproof girl wanted to wipe away her tears, but she couldn't stop it. It wasn't until someone held her in his arms that she couldn't help crying.
The origin of this world was so painful to write. I had to delete, delete, and edit it just to make it logical. I suddenly found a logical error when I was writing it before, so I could only delete and edit it at the same time, and I came up with a theory about the creation of fire and trees.
