Noe, an Elven scholar ?? with porcelain white skin, snow-white hair, and a well-proportioned physique, sat on a long bench. His eyes were focused, meticulously scanning lines in an old book titled "Genesis Notes" ?? by an anonymous author. It was an ancient volume with a cover torn in many places, but the text inside remained clear, printed on a strange, glistening gold paper. He read intently, completely immersed in his world of knowledge, oblivious to the noises around him.

  (KNO +0,001)

  The living room where Noe sat was a common area on a giant flying ship ??. Over thirty other passengers were present: some were sound asleep, slumped over tables, producing faint, raspy snores; others were enjoying their evening meal, the fragrant smell of food blending with the sound of clinking dishes. A group of Dwarves ?? were drinking and shouting excitedly, their boisterous laughter echoing through the room, occasionally punctuated by the "clink!" ?? of beer mugs. Elsewhere, normal people huddled together, conversing so softly their mumbles were almost inaudible.

  In the center of the room, a large Emerald crystal ?? emitted a soft light, floating about five meters above the floor, casting luminous patterns on the ceiling. Outside the airship, the sky was ablaze with a crimson sunset ??, the sun slowly disappearing over the horizon, painting a clear sky without a single cloud. The airship glided quickly like a bird through the atmosphere, then gradually descended onto the sea. Finally, it gently pulled up to the shore, creating a small "shhh" sound ?? as its hull touched the water.

  Suddenly, a resounding announcement ?? startled Noe, causing him to jump up. He quickly gathered the two thick stacks of books in his arms and stepped toward the ship’s side.

  A clear voice boomed: "We have arrived at the eastern port of the Jewel Kingdom ??, also known as the Dragon Nation! ?? All disembarking passengers, please gather, have your tickets checked, and proceed ashore. I repeat, the ship will only stop for a short time; if you miss it, we will not turn back! Please pay attention!" The announcement repeated three times before stopping.

  Noe was among the first passengers to step off the airship. He waited on the dock for a long time, the lapping of waves ?? and the salty smell of the sea ?? filling the air, but no one came to meet him. So, he found a corner, sat down, and continued reading his book. As the sky outside grew darker and darker, moonlight began to peek out, enveloping the dock in quiet darkness.

  Around midnight, a group of people on horseback appeared. They circled the dock, then searched the surrounding inns, but couldn't find anyone. ?oàn Chính, the chief of the welcoming group, looked incredibly disappointed and worried. He then briefly noticed a faint light emanating from a necklace ? worn by an Elven figure reading under a dim lamp. Approaching, he was delighted to find Noe—the important guest of his Master. ?oàn Chính quickly invited Noe onto the carriage ?? and hurried back to the Master's castle.

  ?oàn Chính was accompanied by a Knight in brilliant white armor ??? named M?nh Th??ng, with four horsemen riding behind. The journey from the eastern port to ?oàn Chính's city in the west took three months, as the Jewel Kingdom prohibited airships from flying over their territory. Therefore, the escort team was not in a hurry, traveling by day and resting by night. Sometimes they rested in the forest, listening to the chirping of insects and the smell of damp earth, and sometimes they slept in villages or small towns, feeling the warmth of a roof over their heads. They would resume their journey the next morning, changing horses when they grew tired.

  Most of the time, Noe was buried in his books ??, finishing one after another, his eyes sparkling with passion ?. In the evening when the group stopped to rest, he would sit by the crackling ?? fire and write, the scratching sound of his pen ??? on paper. He rarely interacted with anyone, only offering cursory greetings.

  ?oàn Chính: "Sir, may I ask you something?" ??

  Noe: (Looks up, with an awkward, unreadable smile) "Go ahead, I'm listening."

  ?oàn Chính: (Takes a deep breath, trying to regain his composure)

  ?oàn Chính: "Could you teach me magic?" ??

  Noe: (Frowns, looking displeased) "Are you serious?"

  ?oàn Chính: "Yes, I am very interested and serious." ??

  Noe: (Frowning) "It's very difficult, very tiring, and requires persistence, enduring pain and hardship. Do you still want to learn?" ?oàn Chính: "Yes, I do." ?? Noe: (Puts down the book, gives a mysterious smile) "Good."

  (Noe checks ?oàn Chính's elemental root with a pale blue Crystal sphere ??)

  Noe: (Calmly, monotonously) "Five-element root ??—you have almost no chance to practice magic. Even if you could, it would be extremely difficult and painful. Want to try?"

  ?? THE FIVE ELEMENTAL ROOTS

  ?oàn Chính: (Inner self nearly collapsed) ?? (Noe opens ?oàn Chính's meridians, causing terrible pain like a thousand needles ??)

  M?nh Th??ng: (Worriedly) "You were very lucky. If the Elven Noe wasn't here, you probably would have died." ??

  ?oàn Chính: (Kneels) ??

  Noe: (Faintly smiling) "No need, it was your own resilience. The method I used was to open your meridians, forcing your potential outwards. Because I understand medical arts ??, I dared to use this method. Someone who doesn't know would have a one-in-ten chance of survival."

  Noe: "So, how did your trip around hell feel?" ??

  ?oàn Chính: (Scratching his head, embarrassed) "Sir, I don't remember it anymore. I only have a sense of fear and worry left; I don't remember the details." ??

  Noe: "It's alright. From now on, I will teach you some basic Qi cultivation ??."

  M?nh Th??ng: (Excitedly) "Why haven't you paid your respects as a disciple yet? He helped you so much!" ??

  Noe: (Gently placing his hand on ?oàn Chính's shoulder) "No need. Why complicate things with a master-disciple relationship? Being friends ?? is enough."

  M?nh Th??ng: "Then can you teach me too? I also want to be friends with you, Sir!" ???♂?

  Noe: "Of course."

  From then on, whenever they stopped to rest, the whole group sat around Noe, their eyes focused, receiving guidance on Qi cultivation and breathing techniques. The air around them seemed to become quieter ??, with only Noe's gentle, steady instructions to be heard.

  (Regen Mp +0.001)

  Noe: (Explaining, measured and slow) "There are many Elements in this world, but they are divided into two main categories: Color Elements ?? and Colorless Elements ?. Color Elements have four main elements: Earth ??, Fire ??, Water ??, and Air ???. Colorless Elements have many types, such as Ordinary Energy (love ??), Wisdom Energy (AkaShic Library ??), Courage Energy ??, Prudence Energy ??, Peace Energy ??, and so on."

  (The scene shifts to the Ratfolk attack) ????

  Noe told everyone to halt because he sensed a chilling danger ?? ahead. M?nh Th??ng ran ahead alone to check. He was cautiously peering into the bushes when suddenly, countless poisoned arrows ?? shot out from everywhere, the "whoosh-whoosh" sound of arrows cutting through the wind ringing out piercingly. M?nh Th??ng’s reflexes were lightning fast, his heavy shield flashed up, blocking the volley of arrows. He didn't hesitate, turning and sprinting away, dust flying behind him.

  Behind him, a group of ten Ratfolk ?? were riding on wolves, holding poisoned knives. The snarls of the wolves and the sharp screams ??? of the Ratfolk echoed as they pursued M?nh Th??ng. Noe, in the carriage, saw this and quickly climbed onto the roof. He drew his silver bow, the bowstring gleaming with a cold silver color ??, and used the ultimate technique, "Nine Star Chain", firing nine arrows in a single shot. Noe held two fingers out, maneuvering the nine silver arrows to skillfully fly, curving to avoid M?nh Th??ng and strike in an arc, aiming directly at the heads of both the Ratfolk and their wolves. Nine "thump!" sounds rang out almost simultaneously, taking down nine Ratfolk riding wolves.

  M?nh Th??ng had been poisoned by the Ratfolk, and a purple-blue mark ?? spread gradually on his arm. Noe could only block the poison from reaching the heart to preserve his life. More than a day later, they reached the nearest village, and M?nh Th??ng was treated in time.

  The Village Chief asked Noe and ?oàn Chính to report the situation. Meanwhile, the villagers gathered, with excited chatter ??? and the smell of smoke from the fire pits ?? as they prepared defenses. Two days later, the Ratfolk attacked the village, shouts and the clash of weapons ?? echoing in the night. By morning, they retreated, leaving behind traces of destruction and the smell of blood ?? in the air.

  A day later, Noe and ?oàn Chính returned with the Tiger-Leopard Army of the Grand National Master. They were knights in full armor, over three meters tall, riding on striped Tigers ?? or sleek Black Leopards ??, their roars echoing. They tracked the Ratfolk group for seven days and seven nights, the clash of swords and the screams of the Ratfolk ??? echoing throughout the deep forest.

  They rescued the Ratfolk's slaves. These people were small, around 1-1.5 meters tall, with hairy, bare feet, skilled in farming and animal husbandry. Noe called them Halflings ???♂?. Noe stayed with the Halflings for a month, forced to concoct a forgetfulness drug ?? to stabilize their minds from the trauma. ?oàn Chính briefly saw a faint, happy smile ?? on Noe's lips as he said goodbye to the Halflings, no longer bearing his usual cold demeanor.

  Afterward, they continued their journey to Doanh Thành (Garrison City), located on the western edge of the Jewel Kingdom. The total travel time was over four months. Noe was hosted in the Garrison Lord's guest room for two days, followed by a solemn welcoming banquet ?? with all the most important people of Doanh Thành, bright lights and melodious music ?? echoing throughout the great hall.

  --------------------------

  ?oàn Chính asked, "What book are you reading? Can you read it to me?"

  Noah said, "This is the book about the creation of the world, called Genesis, written by many prophets together."

  The Supreme Deity ??, at the very beginning, created the world alone.

  The Earth was still empty, the space dark and undefined.

  The Spirit of the Supreme Deity, a stream of pure light,flew everywhere, enveloping the universe ?.

  He commanded: "Let there be light!" And light was born from the darkness, exploding with brilliance ??.

  Then the Gods and Demons (Th?n Ma) appeared amidst the deep, dark void.

  They shone of their own accord, magnificent as the primal sun ??.

  Their divine bodies illuminated the realms, radiating infinite energy.

  Their minds were clear, understanding all things, perceiving every detail.

  The majestic Divine Beings (Th?n nhan) governed the winged Feathered Race (V? T?c) ???

  Carrying the mission of universal harmony.

  The Fey Race (Yêu T?c)—newly born spirits—came at the call, brimming with vitality.

  The ancient Dragon Race (Long T?c) ??—stellar spirits long-formed—also gathered, awe-inspiring and mighty.

  The world gradually grew heavier, and the primordial energy turned into vast oceans ??.

  It was divided into three clear parts: upper, middle, and lower.

  The Feathered Race soared high, occupying the upper layer, where clouds and sky merged.

  The Dragon Race plunged deep into the lower layer, where the seas were abyssal. The Fey Race settled in the middle layer, where the land was fertile.

  The mighty Divine Tree ?? stood firm in the center, Connecting the three layers of the world, serving as a bridge for all creation.

  Yet, the Three Races were in disharmony, clashing and killing each other, striving for power.

  The Feathered Race gradually devolved, becoming the myriad birds flying freely.

  The Dragon Race grew immense, their bodies vast, hidden beneath the deep sea.

  The Fey Race also slowly transformed into the various beasts, strong and wild.

  The world grew heavier still, birthing vast continents.

  The hearts of sentient beings also grew heavier, and the Three Races continued their endless conflict.

  The Supreme Deity, with boundless wisdom, chose a leader, and Pangu was born.

  Pangu's form possessed characteristics of the Three Races, his wisdom comprehended all things.

  Pangu fought alone, defeating the arrogant Gods ??.

  Three Thousand Great Daos (??i ??o ba ngàn) and Thirty Thousand Gods and Demons (Th?n Ma ba v?n) bowed their heads.

  He reorganized the order: up and down, left and right, front and back.

  Taking the Divine Tree as the center, he expanded the directions, creating an ordered world.

  But then Pangu erred, cutting down the Divine Tree ??, an inexplicable act.

  The Divine Tree stretched high, soaring upward, clearly separating the world from the boundless Upper Realm (Th??ng Gi?i).

  Pangu used his own body to fill that void, sacrificing himself for the great cause.

  His eyes became the sun and moon, illuminating the world eternally ????.

  The Divine Beings then clarified the distinct roles of the Three Divine Races.

  The world continued, and Pangu's merit was eternally remembered.

  The Sky Pillar (Tr? tr?i) stood firm in the center, and the Big Dipper (B?c ??u) pointed the way.

  All directions converged into one, and Pangu's descendants took up the mantle.

  The Immortals (Tiên Nhan) appeared, their forms Tri-Primal (Tam Nguyên) and diverse.

  Multiple races, multiple species, multiple shapes, creating the colorful beauty of the Immortal Realm (Tiên Gi?i).

  The White Immortals (B?ch Tiên) shone brightly like a twinkling star. There were the mysterious Black Immortals (H?c Tiên),

  The unique Variant Immortals (D? Tiên), and the majestic Avian Dragon Immortal Beasts (?i?u Long Tiên Thú).
