Yang Xiaotian has forgotten when he came to this world.
The time of this world is not unified with that of the real world, or that of the two-dimensional world is not unified with that of the three-dimensional world.
But this is not a two-dimensional world.
It's a world infinitely close to three dimensions, but always lacking in detail.
Yang Xiaotian calls this a 2.8-dimensional world.
The world is huge, as big as the earth, but the landscape of mountains and rivers is quite different from the earth.
The world has its own name. People in the world don't know that they are on a planet. But according to their own eyes, they call their world Tianyuan continent.
Of course, the domination of Tianyuan is human.
These people are not so different from the people on earth.
But their level of development is about equal to that of the Middle Ages on earth.
At the core of Tianyuan is a powerful empire called Dragon empire. The Dragon empire was ruled by a group of Orientals. About 500 years ago, this group of Easterners came to Tianyuan from the remote mysterious sea.
The royal family of the Oriental people is called Jiang family. When they conquered this land, although there were few soldiers and few people compared with the blonde people in this land, they had extraordinary power and dragon.
Especially the dragon.
The dragon is the pinnacle of power in the world.
The dragon has no wings, but it can soar and soar.
Dragon can call the wind and rain, make waves and change the natural environment.
This kind of dragon was used in the war, so the Jiang royal family ruled about 10 million people in Tianyuan and founded the Dragon empire. They conquered the land with the dragon, so they called their empire the Dragon empire.
The Dragon empire was extremely brilliant when there was a dragon. At that time, no matter the barbarians in the northwest, other countries on the mainland, or the pirate countries who made a living by plundering, they all trembled and bowed to the throne in front of the Dragon empire.
At that time, the Dragon empire was called the kingdom of heaven.
But the royal family of Jiang was born arrogant. They conquered this land by force, but they never won the hearts of the people of this land.
In particular, their race is different from most people in this land. Most of the people in this land are white people with blond hair, while the ruling class of the Jiang emperor group and the Dragon empire are all yellow skinned people with black hair and black eyes. Their typical oriental features are different from most of their subjects.
Moreover, their culture does not communicate with the lower class, so there has always been a gap between the lower class and the upper class.
However, in the glory of the Dragon Empire, not only the Dragon suppressed Qi Yun, but also the mysterious force suppressed domestic discontent. The Jiang royal family didn't care what these people thought.
However, things always go downhill, nothing can always stay at the top.
The peak of the Dragon Empire lasted 100 years, and then it went downhill. In particular, 200 years after the founding of the Dragon Empire, the last dragon died. The Dragon Empire became an empty shell, and there was no more dragon.
Since then, all the emperors of the Dragon Empire wanted to give birth to the dragon and create brilliance with the power of the dragon, but how could the dragon be so well bred?
The dragon of the Dragon Empire has not appeared for 300 years.
Today, only the bones of the dragon are still in the Royal vault, but there is no necromancer magic here. The bones are just bones. They can't revive from the dead, and they can't protect the Empire in the form of a necromancer dragon.
However, in the third 100 years, the Dragon empire is still stable, because although there is no dragon, the aftereffects of the dragon are still there. People still think that the royal family can give birth to the dragon.
And the royal family also has extraordinary power, their own extraordinary power, coupled with the aftereffect of the dragon, can still suppress all dissatisfaction at home and abroad.
In the fourth 100 years, the authority of Jiang's royal family declined greatly. In order to rule the Empire, the royal family had to adopt the enfeoffment system, enfeoffment a large number of local nobles as lords, and made political compromises. Only in this way can the fourth 100 years of the Dragon Empire be safely passed.
In the fourth 100 years, though, there was a lot of turbulence, coups and uprisings on the court. The National Treasury is empty and the people are in dire need. The lower is hungry, the upper is drunk.
However, compared with the present fifth 100 years, which will soon be the past 100 years, the fourth 100 years can still be said to be peaceful and prosperous.
Because in the fifth 100 years, the world has changed a lot, that is, the tide of magic has receded.
The tide of magic has receded, although you can still use magic and extraordinary power. But the power is much less than before.
Originally, a superman can suppress 100 ordinary soldiers. After the magic tide fades, a superman can suppress at most 10 soldiers, and is likely to overturn.
This period is called the magic low.
In the low tide of magic, not only is magic not as simple as before, but the whole world is falling rapidly.
Natural and man-made disasters continue everywhere, and wars are frequent. Up to now, there are only about 7 million people left in the Dragon empire with a population of 10 million at one time. Three million people have disappeared forever in such frequent natural disasters and wars.
At the same time, the authority of Jiang's royal family reached the lowest point in history.
Magic was in a low ebb, which had a great influence on the royal family of Jiang family.
First of all, the dragon can not be conceived.
In the stable period of magic, it is very difficult to breed a dragon. In the past 300 years, no dragon has been bred. Besides, it is a low period of magic.
In addition to maintaining the necessary experiments, the Jiang royal family has given up the unrealistic idea of the dragon.
Even so, the royal family of Jiang, their magic was also deeply affected.
The power of the royal family was greatly reduced, and there were frequent rebellions everywhere. The most serious time was a rebellion 20 years ago. At that time, the royal family was on the verge of extinction, and the rebels from all over the country invaded the capital.
Fortunately, at the most critical time, the royal family of the Jiang family gave birth to an immortal genius named Jiang Huan. Jiang Huan didn't know what kind of power he used, but he wiped out the rebels at one stroke. Although it did not reappear the glory of the Jiang family, it maintained the rule of the Jiang family. After that, Jiang Huan disappeared, and no one knew where he had gone.
Now, 20 years later, the rule of the Jiang family is on the verge of collapse.
Although the Dragon empire can be called an empire on the surface, the princes of various places have formed separatist forces. The princes only showed respect for the royal family of the Jiang family on the surface, but in fact they no longer had any respect.
