Synopsis
Elias couldn't remember how many times he had torn apart timing. Every time he burned his life and looked back, he would return to this land that was about to overthrow, and meet the man standing on the other side of the deep forest of chaos - Sergorn. They are feuds, rivals, and the only people in the apocalypse who can talk to each other on an equal footing. In thousands of reincarnations, they drew swords against each other on the battlefield, shared the last sip of water in the ruins, and resisted monsters back to back on the edge of the collapse of time. Elias remembers each time, Thurgon doesn't. He watched those eyes change from wary to doubtful, from doubtful to something familiar that even he couldn't explain clearly. And Elias's body became worse and worse with each relapse. He knew he couldn't last more than a few times. This time, he must break the doomed ending before it is completely burned out - even if he has to personally push away the only person who has made him reluctant to let go. The time order of Etheron has decayed, and the eternal laws are crumbling. The sins committed by the ancestors of ancient times have passed through the ages and now fall on the shoulders of the living. In the past years, the human race broke the sacred oath they made with the beast race, plundered the spiritual veins of the earth, and desecrated the order of all things. As a result, heaven issued punishments, and the deep forest of Lethemir rose from the ground. The time sequence in the forest was overturned, and the past and the future were intertwined and confused, turning into an insurmountable barren barrier between the two races. All the rivers in the Kingdom of Volan have dried up, and the only spring water that all people rely on for survival is the gurgling spiritual source from the Formless Icon of Castalia. As time passed, the truth was buried in the dust of the years, leaving only the deep-seated hatred between the two families to be passed down to future generations. The crown fell into the hands of young Elias. He inherited a broken country, his body was congenitally suffering from serious illness, and his destiny was already precarious, but he had to carry an entire country that was about to be destroyed. The holy spring is weakening day by day, the gap in the time sequence is tearing the earth apart, and the distorted monsters are pouring out from the gap, constantly gnawing at the territory of the human race. The bitter fruits left by the ancestors all bear on the shoulders of this king. Serafina, the eldest daughter of the late king and the eldest royal sister of Elias, is the blade bearer of Verona. Her talent for martial arts is unparalleled for a hundred generations, and she is the only remaining barrier for the human race. She put away her edge, protected the royal power with the weapons in her hands, resisted the turbulent disasters of the end of the world with her own body, and supported the fate of the crumbling kingdom by herself. On the other side of the Lawless Forest, the land of Faun, the beast tribe, is rich in water and soil, and the mountains and rivers are intact. Seren, the leader of the new generation, is in charge of the tribe, and the ancient memories passed down by mouth have not been erased. He remembers the atrocities of the human race that broke the covenant in the past, and watches the human race's decline step by step from the forest. The hatred of generations is still burning, the punishment from heaven has not yet subsided, and the collapse of the world is intensifying step by step. The king who is suffering from illness, the eldest sister of the royal family who conquers the world with force, and the commander of the beast tribe who harbors old grudges. When the holy spring is completely cut off and the shackles of the forest collapse, this generation will have to repay the blood debt owed by their ancestors thousands of years ago and choose between the destruction or redemption of the entire world. Purpose: When order disrupts the past, and generational hatred imprisons the two worlds, grand love transcends ethnic groups and tampered history, refusing to continue the cycle of sins of our ancestors, and looking for the possibility of reconciliation among the ruins of the apocalypse.
