In the beginning, there was a party of five powerful adventurers who arrived at a vast land untamed land. After the long perilous journey over the million mile monster infested ocean they refused to return home empty handed.
The land they arrived at was vast, if looking from the center it would be over a million miles in each direction.
This land is filled with many different climates, some places were covered in snow, some with sand. Some bled eerie demonic energy and some were vast seas of grass surrounded by high mountains.
These adventurers, who were eager to claim their own territories, quickly found this land was already inhabited by demon beasts. Beasts who cultivated the worlds mana, becoming strong beings equivalent to the legendary human gods.
The leaders of these demon beasts were five divine beasts deemed the kings of this continent.
The Leaders were a Vermillion Phoenix, which is a bird resembling a pheasant with multi-colored feathers perpetually covered in flames.
A Winged White Tiger, which is a white skinned tiger covered in black stripes and a large pair of white feathered wings.
A Azure Dragon, which is a majestic turquoise serpent like dragon with a long body and four feet with four claws on each.
A Black Tortoise, which is a mountain sized tortoise with black leathery skin, a large golden shell with a snake like tail escaping from the rear.
Lastly a Qilin, which is four legged creature with a single horn, the body of a deer covered in red scales, the tail of a lion, and the hooves of a horse.
The adventurers knew that they could never take this land if they didn't first kill or tame its original inhabitants. Primarily the Demon Kings.
This caused the humans to send word to their homeland, to muster their armies and sail across the million mile sea to join them in a great battle.
They knew this would be dangerous and that they would lose many soldiers over the voyage. Yet they didn't care, they saw the vision, one of five future empires that would conquer and claim this land.
What would the death of a few thousand ants under them matter after they conquered this land? Even a hundred thousand ants wouldn't matter if they succeeded.
In addition to the demon kings of legend, they found many other races and even some humans who already lived on this land. These groups were under the rule of the five tyrant demon kings and were eager for rebellion.
There were five large groups which already inhabited this land, among thousands of smaller ones.
The largest of these forces included the great forest and mountain Orcs, large muscular humanoid creatures who stood two feet taller than most men. Depending on the land from which they hailed, they either had red or green skin and large teeth that protruded from their lower jaw.
An uncultivated orcs had a lesser lifespan of only 40-50 years, this caused them to procreate rapidly leading to a combined force of tens of millions.
Then it was followed by the elves of the great evergreen forest, humanoid creatures which looked mostly like human. Yet each of them possessed unparalleled beauty and carried themselves with a noble demeanor.
These elves lived much longer lives than uncultivated humans, with a starting lifespan of over 1,000 years. After many years of peace, they numbered in the millions.
The demons of the wasteland were next, these creatures were vastly different from one another. A combination of humanoid tribes, mostly covered in red skin with golden eyes yet not all.
Some looked mostly human, yet the large majority of them had the limbs of beasts. Their species, who likely came from human origins, were corrupted by the demonic mana.
These demons lived longer lives, yet not as long as the elves. An uncultivated demon could live for over 300 years, after living in the wasteland they numbered just over a million.
While few in number, they possessed much stronger bodies than those of the other races which led to their equal status among Orcs and Elves. If not for their arrogance they would likely rule a much larger territory.
Next were the dwarves, hidden in the mountains they refused to acknowledge any king but that within the mountain. Fiercely prideful yet only standing three feet tall with large and colorful beards.
The master artisans of the mountains only numbered in the hundreds of thousands but possessed masterly crafted weapons of war which could triumph over any nation.
Content with life within their mountaintop castles they rarely ventured out. Until one day the azure dragon made its will known, submit or die.
After many bloody battles, they were forced to flee from their mountain top homes. Creating new kingdoms deep inside the mountains, yet they never forgot the azure dragon which chased them from their home. They planned and waiting for such an opportunity for revenge.
Last of the five great races were the purist humans, who after living under the oppression of the demon kings grew to despise beast of all kinds. Once they had a population of hundreds of millions, yet they arrogantly challenged the demon kings alone.
The empire of the humans fell, and their numbers dwindled to only a few million. An uncultivated human could live for over 80 years, yet few did after the loss of their great empire.
The five major races of this new continent banded together under the leadership of these powerful adventurers and their armies. A fierce battle to broke out, lasting over 100 years. Eventually, through sheer numbers they overwhelmed the demon kings and their army of beasts. Climbing the great myriad mountain and slaying them in their own kingdoms.
The five strongest adventurers, who dealt the final blow to the demon kings, merged their bloodlines with that of the divine beasts. Giving their qi a unique nature and ferocity. Each of these adventurers, upon merging their bloodlines also achieved a breakthrough into the Divine Lord realm.
After the period of war the adventurers split the land, each deciding on taking a different portion. Promising a 1,000 year period of peace to allow for their lands to build and prosper.
These adventurers then separated, aiming to establish their own bloodline to pass down this incredible power to their descendants.
What they did not know was that these kings had an emperor of their own. The demon kings who were just protecting their infant emperor had made a drastic decision.
After realizing the war would never end, they decided to give their lives in one last battle. They hoped the human led army wouldn't find the emperor hidden deep within the mountain.
This emperor is the nine tailed fox, who eventually grew and found the five who killed his demon king aunts and uncles. After he finally killed all those who took his family away, he lacked a purpose and began wandering the world in his human form.
He sought something to fill the hole within his heart. That was when he found a human warrior, Ellia Eltharian who happened to be in the Overlord realm.
The demon emperor, who was capable of taking on a human form married Ellia. Then, after a hundred years of trying, they finally conceived a child who took over 2000 years to be born.
When their son Tristan was born, his mother died in childbirth. His father gave all his life essence to safely bring him into the world while also sealing his power.
Tristan was born a human with the royal bloodline of the Nine Tailed Fox.
