Chapter 9: History and Geography

Under the significant military threat from the city-state kingdoms, smaller factions gradually submitted, leading to the restoration of civil order. This resulted in the formation of a social organization in the form of the "Federation of Cities," which established laws and regulations, and the social structure began to stabilize

Jialan's gaze involuntarily turned towards the library of the "Science and Magic Academy". After all, Ailan was merely a girl from a common background; what she knew was only a rough account of history. If she wanted to find the answers, she would likely have to investigate personally.

[ 4th Century - 8th Century ] - Tribal Era

Reciting it all in one breath, Ai Lan let out a lovely sigh and looked at Jia Lan with anticipation: "Did I recite it correctly?"

Jialan's complexion was somewhat pale; what exactly happened on that day

The dwarves' settlement of Morro in the east of the Kovalre Continent is divided into two by Morro Lake, situated between the Ironroot Mountains and the Grayfrost Mountains. The Grayfrost Mountains have become part of the Lazarus Federation archipelago, referred to as the Eastern Islands

Clenching her fists tightly, Jialan forced herself to calm down and, with a smile directed at Ailan, said: "Why don't you recount to me what you know about the geography and history of the continent? Perhaps I can add some details, and it will also help reinforce your memory."

Amid the strategies of alliances and counter-alliances, a confederation of tribal ruling powers gradually took shape

Is it true? Is it true? Really!

The southern regions of the [ Kingdom of Jilago ] and [ Kingdom of Dagon ] in the original [ Kovalre Continent ], along with a portion of the former [ Kingdom of Bluran ], have split off to form the [ Southern Continent ] of [ Starry Continent ]

Regarding geography, Jialan learned from Ailan's account that the continent they inhabit was originally a vast and complete landmass. However, during the great cataclysm caused by the tectonic explosion over 1,700 years ago, it shattered into seven major continents and countless islands, and was subsequently renamed "Starry Continent"

Ailan seemed to have reviewed quite a bit as well. Upon hearing Jialan's "inference," she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and began to recount in detail the geographical knowledge and historical events she was aware of to Jialan.

The era of tribes formed by countless clans is beginning to emerge

The [Tiegen Mountain Range], along with the [Kanas Kingdom] in the northeastern part of the original [Kovare Continent] and the [Talanta Plain] in the central region, has become the largest landmass in the [Starry Continent], known as [Northeast Continent]

Wait! Apocalypse

[ The Apocalypse 9th Century - 10th Century ] - Era of the Chieftain States

This term in [General Language] often refers to "divine revelation," but it also carries the meaning of "doomsday." Does this not imply that what led to his being frozen was indeed a doomsday that destroyed the entire world

More than 1,700 years ago, a terrifying apocalyptic disaster erupted in the world, leading to the destruction of civilization in a cataclysmic earthquake caused by a dreadful geological explosion. Society regressed to a chaotic primitive clan era. This dark and tumultuous period in history is referred to as the Age of the Dark Apocalypse

[ Shattered ... ... completely shattered ... ... ]

This means that he has been separated from [the Dawn Calendar www.hetushucomcom2014] by at least one thousand seven hundred years! Moreover, it is still uncertain how many years have elapsed between the two calendars

... ...

The southwestern region of the original [Kovale Continent], including the [Shadow Wetlands] and the [Zhuomu Wasteland], along with a portion of the original [Brulan Kingdom], has split along the [Dagger River] within the territory of the [Brulan Kingdom] to form the [Southwestern Continent] of [Xingchen Continent]

As for the original first power of the [Kovale Continent], the [Brulan Kingdom], due to its central location on the continent, it happened to be at the epicenter of the great geological explosion. Its territory was fragmented, leaving behind the [Brulan Plain] and the area known as the [Land of Sorrow], referred to as [Sel's Homeland], which together formed the [Central Continent] of the [Starry Continent]

The northern regions of the [ Kingdom of Andel ] and [ Kingdom of Sereen ] on the [ Kovalre Continent ], along the [ Strait of Heritage ], have split into the [ Northern Continent ] of the [ Starry Continent ]

Year 1 of the Apocalypse - 3rd Century; Clan Era

There is no need to concern yourself with the [Dawn Calendar], as it is merely an ancient calendar that was used in the past. I believe the entrance examination will not cover such distant topics. However, I suspect that the entrance examination at www.hetushu.com may involve more widely recognized geography and history, after all, we are just freshmen, and it is unlikely that they will present us with more specialized knowledge to challenge us

Jialan tugged at her stiff lips, forcing out a smile: "It seems that your foundational knowledge is quite solid; you should have no problem passing the theoretical exam"

To the northwest of the [Kovalei Continent], along the [Vinaen River], [Galifa Lake], and [Silver Water Lake], reaching the [Baishike Mountain Range] and [Crescent Bay], the [Eluden Plains] and [Demon Wasteland] were separated, forming the [Northwest Region] of the [Stellar Continent]

Since the 15th century of the Apocalypse Calendar, after a discontinuity lasting over 1,500 years, civilization began to revive, entering a period of rapid development known as the Renaissance. Various federations of nations commenced extensive archaeological research, dedicated to restoring the glorious civilizations that existed before the Great Cataclysm.

Some large emirate powers that occupy the remnants of ancient large cities have begun to establish city-state kingdoms based on urban defenses, officially entering the era of "one city, one nation" city-states

Calmly organizing her thoughts, Jialan smiled at the girl and said, "When do you plan to take the entrance exam? Shall we go together?"

[ The Enlightenment 15th Century - 17th Century ] - Renaissance Era

The young girl cheered with joy, but Jialan fell into a state of panic. What exactly happened 1,700 years ago that led to the sudden and unanticipated explosion of the earth's veins, resulting in the destruction of an entire civilization

By the way, Alan

Upon hearing this tragic news, Jialan's gaze became somewhat vacant, yet Ailan, unaware of this, continued to earnestly recite the geographical knowledge she possessed: "... Currently, civilization is primarily concentrated in [North Continent], [South Continent], [Northeast Continent], [Southeast Continent], [Central Continent] in the West Land, and the area of [Eastern Archipelago]. In the southeastern part of [Northwest Continent], there are also a small number of people gathered, although their numbers are sparse. This is the geographical pattern of the seven continents of our [Starry Continent]."

Has even the calendar been changed?

The Kingdom of Velenna and the Kingdom of Quabara, located to the southeast of the Kovalre Continent, have merged to form the Southeast Region of the Starry Continent

After enduring a multitude of dark wars fought over the struggle for survival resources, the smaller clans were either annihilated or absorbed
