Times, this is a very popular word, but also a profound word. Basically it refers to a period of time, and this period of time can be long or short, as short as ten or several decades, such as adolescence or youth, and as long as tens of thousands of years, such as the Jurassic era... …These are all well-known times.

Of course, there is another era, and that is the near future era where Gensokyo is now.

Speaking of Gensokyo, in fact, it didn't exist at the beginning. Before it was isolated from the human world, people called it "the land far away from the human border in the East Kingdom". Because there are many monsters living in this place, those who accidentally stray into this place will be caught and eaten by the monsters. Therefore, people are afraid of this place, and ordinary people dare not approach it at all.

Of course, there are also some people who live in Gensokyo in order to retreat from the monsters, such as witches.

Then, as time passed, the number of humans increased sharply due to the development of civilization. The sages of the monster believed that if the number of humans continued to increase, the balance of Gensokyo would collapse, so they established a "realm of illusion and reality" and attracted The monsters from outside come to Gensokyo to balance it.

However, because most of the monsters have moved to Gensokyo, there are very few monsters living in human society, and they have been in seclusion for a long time. Coupled with the realm of illusion and reality, this kind of connection is directly related. This led to...With the progress of scientific and technological civilization, mankind has developed in a very extreme way towards the material aspect, and gradually began to doubt spiritual civilization, and then added non-scientific things called superstition to be rejected. Over time, people no longer Believe in the existence of demons and monsters, and of course gods.

Whether they are monsters or gods, their power is very powerful and can do many things that humans cannot do, but they must rely on humans to survive in human society, because they have the same thing... they need human faith!

The difference is that the belief of gods is the respect of mankind, while the belief of monsters is the fear of mankind, but they must have a prerequisite for obtaining this kind of belief—believe!

People believe in the existence of gods, so they give respect, people believe in the existence of monsters, so they feel scared, but if people don't believe in their existence, how can they have other feelings?

Take ghosts as an example. Their existence is to rob and destroy human society. If people fear them, they will do it happily, but if people don’t believe in their existence and are not afraid of them, then they Will lose interest and become lazy.

There are also gods. If they lack human faith, not only will their power be weakened, but even their existence will disappear... Countless abandoned shrines are the best evidence.

In such a society, there is no room for monsters and gods to survive.

So, under the guidance of the monster sage, the remaining monsters also began to go to Gensokyo, because there are still humans who believe in the existence of monsters, and the gods are only revealed in Gensokyo, because only there can they get it. Human beliefs.

Then, the monster big sage in Gensokyo and the human witch established a powerful barrier together, completely isolating Gensokyo from the outside world, allowing most of the monsters and a few humans to live quietly there. From then on, Human society will never hear about Gensokyo again.

This is the first collaboration between youkai and humans, because they all know that Gensokyo’s balance is necessary. Youkai must eat humans to achieve the balance of monsters, and humans must retreat from monsters to achieve human balance. As long as this is the case, Gensokyo’s monsters Only with humans can we survive forever... But with the passage of time, Gensokyo no longer has monsters that often prey on humans, and some monsters even have friendly exchanges with humans.

Of course, some monsters will still eat people, and humans will also periodically retreat to monsters.

The above is the history of Gensokyo's development. It can be called the Gensokyo era. So... before Gensokyo's development, when there were no monster sages, why should it be called the era?

If you insist, it goes back a long time ago. The leader of society is not humans, but is entrenched by a large number of demons and monsters. That is... the era of flurry of demons!

When Qiqiu was fighting inverse causality, although she had done some tricks before the battle, it would not endanger the safety of the whole world, but because of her unreserved battle, the rest of the wave still gave her the space in which she was. Caused huge damage... countless space cracks, dimensional fluctuations and time void channels were born.

Then seven or seven fell, the body turned into sparks to form the book of contract, and then entered a time gap road, and the end of this time gap road was the era of the group of demons dance.

...

In a secluded dense forest, there was a fire on the grass with rabbits grilling on it. Next to the fire were two girls. They looked only about eight or nine years old. They were dressed in simple commoners, one with a beautiful golden length. Hair, the other is a light green short hair, although the dress looks rustic and seems to be living a very miserable way, but they can't conceal their natural beauty.

After a while, when the rabbit meat on the fire was scented, the green-haired girl cheered. No matter the fire was still burning, she reached out and grabbed the cooked rabbit.

"Be careful there is still fire." The blonde girl quickly reminded.

"It doesn't matter, this little fire can't hurt me anyway." The green-haired girl said nonchalantly, but in the end she withdrew her hand and put out the fire before pulling out the rabbit's thigh.

"Well, it's delicious." The green-haired girl took a bite impatiently and exclaimed, but then she didn't know what she remembered, frowned, and said with some anger, "The guys actually said I was The herbivore system is really damning, I can obviously eat meat, OK!"

The blonde girl chuckled and said, "That's not what they mean by the herbivore system."

"No matter what they mean, literally, isn't the herbivore just eating grass? How could I eat grass for these idiots with diminishing IQ!" the green-haired girl said disdainfully.

The blonde girl smiled again, "Are you still angry about this, it's been so long?"

"I'm not angry, I'm just annoyed, you know, those guys claim to be geniuses, and always look arrogant towards others, born two hundred and five!" the green-haired girl said bitterly.

The blonde girl sighed helplessly, "You are angry."

The green-haired girl suddenly suffocated, and then waved her hand vigorously, "Forget it, let's not mention this, anyway, it is a group of defeated men, it is not worth me to be angry, let's say something happy."

The blonde girl asked, "What's so happy?"

The green-haired girl naturally replied, "You can say whatever you think is happy, do you still have to ask?"

The blonde girl tilted her head and thought for a while. After a while, she cautiously asked: "I had a dream last night. There were beautiful clothes that I could not wear in my dream. I am very happy. Does this count?"

The green-haired girl squeezed her chin and smashed her mouth, "Although it's fine, but why do I think this is completely meaningless? Also, you really like beautiful clothes, you dream of it."

"Of course, don't you think beautiful clothes look good?" The blonde girl suddenly became excited when she talked about it.

However, the green-haired girl was quite disdainful of this, turning her head and saying, "Cut, forget it, we are not those shameless human women, what's the use of dressing so beautifully?"

"But, don't you know that beautiful clothes are a girl's romance?" the blonde girl asked rhetorically.

"Who told you this?"

"I heard it in my dream."

"...You really can dream." The green-haired girl's mouth twitched slightly, and then said, "But I don't like romantic things. If I really want to say, I prefer those handsome clothes."

"Handsome clothes?" The blonde girl was taken aback.

"Hmm...huh?!" The green-haired girl nodded and was about to speak. Suddenly her expression changed, she jumped up from the ground, and then pulled the blond girl up to the big tree next to her, hiding in the lush. In the branches and leaves.

"What happened?" Although the blonde girl is a little unclear, the two have been together for a long time after all. Knowing what she is most likely to feel, she quickly asked in a low voice.

The green-haired girl said solemnly: "Just now I felt a powerful monster aura approaching, there should be other monsters coming towards us...don't care about the other things, temporarily shield our aura."

"Yeah." The blonde girl answered, and then closed her eyes to activate her ability. Suddenly, the breath of the two disappeared completely, and then they hid in the tree and held their breath, motionless.

Rustle!

Only the sound of the breeze blowing leaves in the entire woods.

About five or six minutes later, suddenly, a footstep rang from not far away, and the sound suddenly shocked the two girls hiding in the tree.

"Xiao Zi, do you feel it?" The green-haired girl tried to lower her voice and asked the girl next to her, a trace of panic and anxiety flashed in her eyes.

In the same way, the blond girl called Xiaozi, with a trace of horror on her face, whispered: "I feel it, such a strong monster, I am afraid that the two of us will not be able to defeat this monster together."

"Not only is it strong, but his demon aura is also full of violence, be careful, strengthen concealment, and try not to let him discover it." The green-haired girl reminded.

Xiao Zi nodded, but was thinking in her heart, which race is the monster with this violent atmosphere?

This question was quickly answered. With the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer, looking down through the gaps in the branches and leaves, they finally saw the appearance of the person who came... It was a huge figure with a height of more than two meters. , The body is a human body, but there is a wolf head on his neck.

Oops, it's a werewolf!

Seeing each other's appearance, the two girls' complexion suddenly changed, and at the same time they looked at each other and found that the other was as full of fear as themselves.

Monsters have many races, which everyone knows. Among them, the most powerful are the ghost family and the vampire family. The former are the kings of melee combat. They are powerful, and they have the power to move mountains and seas with every gesture. There is almost no melee combat. Any monster can match the ghost race. The latter is the king of the night. As long as you are in the night, the power of the vampire will be greatly enhanced, and even possess the immortality. Even the ghost race will not easily fight against the vampire at night.

However, although these two monsters are the most powerful, they are not the most terrifying, because vampires are generally rarely seen, and they are very etiquette. They are nobles among monsters. Under normal circumstances, they will not bully the weak. The ghost clan especially likes to drink. In case of accidental encounter, if the two sides have no enmity, as long as the other party is invited to drink, the ghost clan will be generous with you to make friends.

So for these two races, all the monsters are in awe, but they don't feel afraid of it... The premise is that you don't go against the situation of these two races.

Then there is the third-ranked monster race-the werewolf, this is the most terrifying.

Because they are not only powerful, they are the only existence that can fight against ghosts in close combat, and like vampires, they will increase their power at night, and the most terrifying thing is that they are not like ghosts and vampires. They are very friendly. They are cruel and bloodthirsty by nature. Once they come into contact with monsters of other races, as long as the opponent is not particularly strong, they will rush to fight.

And werewolves especially like to bully the weak.

The only monsters that werewolves dare not provoke are vampires and ghost tribes, because vampires have the power to restrain them, and ghost tribes are not only powerful individuals, but the entire race is also extremely united...You provoke a ghost, which is equivalent to provoke the entire ghost tribe .

However, in addition to these two races, no matter what monsters, werewolves dared to fight, coupled with the extreme brutal methods, they were almost terrified by all monsters except ghosts and vampires.

Generally speaking, when a weak monster meets a werewolf, there is almost a dead end.

"We encountered a werewolf. This race is too terrifying. Xiaozi, we must not let it go. We must not let it discover our existence, otherwise we will be dead!" Before the werewolf approached, the green-haired girl immediately A warning was issued in a low voice.

"I understand, Youxiang." Xiao Zi nodded heavily. In fact, he had already used the shielding ability to the limit without the other party's words. After all, werewolves were monsters they could never contend with now.

After a while, the werewolf had already walked under the tree where they were hiding, looking at the smoking fire and the steaming roast rabbit, the werewolf's eyes lit up, and then he suddenly raised his head.

Although the lush branches and leaves completely blocked their figure, and although Xiao Zi's ability completely shielded their breath, this glance still made them scared and almost fell from the tree.
