Everything in the universe is experiencing a pattern - birth, old age, illness and death.
Destruction and birth, endless reincarnation.
A star, from glory to destruction to reconstruction, is constantly evolving in the universe.
There is only one thing that seems to be eternal, no matter how the outside world changes, it remains unchanged.
Until... the eighth era...

The sky was filled with darkness, and black clouds rolled and roared in the sky like terrifying giant beasts.
It has been raining heavily for half a month, and it has just stopped for less than half a day, and now it seems that the storm is about to come again.
Several villagers held Wood Chopping Knife in their hands and carried Back Basket on their backs as they walked on the muddy mountain path.
They are villagers living at the foot of the mountain. They are taking advantage of the rain to stop and want to go back to the mountain to chop some wood and dig some wild vegetables.
Unexpectedly, halfway through, the path was blocked by a large pile of dirt.
"Why did this mountain collapse?"
"It probably rained too much recently, which loosened the soil below, so it caused a landslide!"
"Look, what is that?"
Someone with sharp eyes saw the strange things exposed in the mountain after the landslide.
"Coffin... coffin?"
Or the third officer?
Several people were so frightened that their hearts were beating and they felt unlucky.
"Black?"
"It's not all black, the one in the middle is jade."
Three coffins stand side by side, with no more than two meters between them.
Two pairs of black coffins made of unknown materials sandwiched the White Jade Coffin coffin, like two black-faced guards.
"Jade... jade?"
Several people who thought it was too unlucky and were about to leave quickly stopped, their eyes showing greed and desire.
"Could it be... could it be some Imperial Palace noble..."
"I see that the jade coffin is engraved with flying phoenixes, and the Black Coffin on both sides are engraved with dragons. This is a specification that only... only the emperor and Empress can enjoy."
The dragon and phoenix totems have only been enjoyed by Son of Heaven and Empress since ancient times.
"Then what's here is... the emperor and Empress?"
"But... that's not right, this... it can't be two... two emperors, one Empress, right?"
White Jade Coffin in the middle, I don't know if it was because of the vibration when the mountain collapsed, or for some other reason, the coffin lid moved a little half.
Just when a few people were greedy and wanted to step forward to take a look, suddenly, there was a "rumbling" thunder in the sky.
The sound was so loud that it seemed like it was right above your head.
Several people were startled and stopped immediately, but greed kept them from turning around and leaving.
With the rumbling thunder in the sky, the dark clouds began to roll and boil. The dark clouds seemed to be pressing down directly, and they seemed to be signaling that some vision was about to appear.
'Boom, boom, boom...'
Suddenly, two bolts of lightning struck two black coffins.
Dazzling lightning wrapped around the black coffin.
Black Coffin seemed to be irritated. With two bangs, the black coffin lid suddenly flew out at the same time.
"It's on... it's on..."
"Ah! There's a ghost!"
"Run! Run!"
Several people who were interested in wealth were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their hearts beat like beatings. They turned around and ran away.
However, before he could run very far, he was swallowed up by a strange black mist.
Only messy footprints on the muddy ground were left at the scene, indicating that someone had been here before.
Afterwards, the black mist kept flying back and forth in the sky, as if it was fighting something, and the surrounding mountains and trees were soon damaged.
Even the White Jade Coffin was buried again by the soil.
I don't know how long it has been...
The thunder stopped, the rain gradually stopped, and the black mist and another invisible energy seemed to have never appeared.
The mountain forest regained its tranquility.
The sun and moon change, the stars move, and I don't know how much time has passed.

"Qiao'er, you should pick one this year!"
Let's have a different beginning, hahaha, lest anyone say the routine is the same. Era is based on the theory of earth's reincarnation. If you don't understand, you can look for Baidu.
