    Legend has it that long, long ago, Pangu separated heaven and earth, and Nuwa created humans to continue the clans, dividing them into the Yan and Huang tribes. Only the third tribe, inherently cruel, consisted mostly of warriors and giants. The Chiyou tribe was diverse in number, but the Shaman tribe was sparsely populated. In other words, the four tribes remained stagnant in a chaotic world of conflict, passively fighting for control of territories. Unexpectedly, after several generations of ups and downs, by the 20th century, only the Yan and Huang tribes had developed into the vast land of China we know today. This land is incredibly valuable, and the descendants of Yan and Huang are countless. However, the world was desolate and economically scarce. A young man carved out another path for this chaotic world.
