Five Elemental Tribes

"In the past 100 years, human beings have made rapid progress in science and technology. People's lives have become very convenient due to the unprecedented development of material and technology. Blockchain, artificial intelligence, 50G networks, human-controlled robots... People live in a building with hundreds of floors, and each household has its own entrance and exit, which is opened on the facade of the building. The transportation means of travel—AFV (Air Flow Vehicle) is parked outside the window. Flying in the air, autonomous driving allows people not to participate in any driving.

With the emergence of human beings, human nature is the driving force that drives us forward, and our desires are endless. While human beings continue to enjoy the convenience and tremendous wealth and material brought to themselves by technological development, waste has exploded at an uncontrollable rate. The landfill of waste eventually pollutes the limited underground resources, so that all food sources are polluted. The emission of waste gas has caused global warming to deepen, air pollution is getting worse, and the living space of human beings is squeezed by their own actions. In the end, continuous local wars broke out between countries to occupy resources and compete for living space, and human beings lost themselves deep in their hearts..."

The old man sighed, with a trace of melancholy in his eyes, and continued: "For people on both sides of the Pacific, it was an ordinary dawn (afternoon) 100 years ago, and the robots were preparing breakfast for the children before school , ordinary office workers finished washing and sat on the AFV. The artificial intelligence police had just begun to patrol in the streets. The robot pets in the park were playing joyfully on the grass... Everything in the world was as peaceful as it was yesterday. But the sun that day was not, an unprecedented solar storm reached the earth, and a violent and large-scale magnetic storm erupted in most parts of the world. It was a catastrophe for the entire mankind-Judgment Day. The modern mankind has worked hard for hundreds of years. Civilization was instantly destroyed, all modern facilities were impacted and turned into ruins, all military and technological facilities were paralyzed in an instant, and all electric, electrical, electronic and other equipment died...all, everything! That solar storm took away almost 60% of animal life from the surface of the planet , and more than one-third of human life. The remaining two-thirds have since entered the long-term trauma recovery."

Tark's eyes widened, and everything the old man said sounded so incredible.

"God has given us warnings several times, such as wildfires, floods, hurricanes, and viruses. In the years before the catastrophe, glaciers in the Arctic and Antarctic rapidly melted, seas rose, and the coasts of China sank one after another. Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Qingdao, Major coastal cities such as Dalian sink into the water... so did many other coast cities in the world. Material civilization disappears, and the wealth symbols used to exchange materials-currency and electronic money lose their value, personal wealth is instantly wiped out, and the order and survival mode of human society are instantly zero. In the decades without modern technology and civilization, the way of human existence has returned to its original point, the soul is empty, then all those human entangled plundering, wars, enslavement, discrimination, oppression and other human rights competition phenomena disappear, modern military technology and facilities disappear, and the countries follows their demise.

The old man sighed, seeing Tark was fascinated by his words, he straightened his body and continued:

"Humankind has already repented and realized after this catastrophe. In the early days of the formation of the world's five element tribes, they were all voluntary. The five tribes coexisted and prospered, and they all stayed a period of peace with each other. All lethal weapons left after the catastrophe were destroyed or exhausted. The general public and all living beings, regardless of belonging to any of the five elements, are just rest and recuperation. However, the greed and evil thoughts in human nature will rise sooner or later, and there must be individuals in the crowd who hope to surpass others to occupy more resources. Venusian tribe (the tribe of Mental) of Central Plains originated from a large number of ruins after the tribulations. Some of them searched for metal from scrap metal waste to smelt weapons with ancient methods, and used modern metallurgical technology to forge and quench the weapons. They made a variety of cold weapons. , The Chinese Sword/blade of Middle-earth, the Thai Machete, the Viking Knife of the Western Viking Warriors... the Hidden Dragon's Whiskers that almost entangled you are from hand of the clan in these tribe. These cold weapons were spread among Venusian tribes in different part of the world, making the Venusian tribes rise first after the catastrophe of all five element tribes (Aquarine-water, Venusian-metal, Marinee-fire, Jupitian-wood, Saturnese-earth). The Venusian tribe of the Central Plains also unified and ruled all other element tribes for a period of time. In the following ten years, each of the other four tribes of the Central Plains rise one after another. The Jupitian tribe (tribe of the wood) people are good at projectiles; the Aquarine people are unique in flying Kungfu; the Marinee tribe (tribe of the fire) people are specializing in both poison and magic; and the Saturnese tribe (tribe of the earth) people have inherited the mastery of Chinese martial arts. These Central Plains tribes surge one after another, and rise to rule the plains one by one."

The old man paused slightly, let out a breath, and said slowly: "Now, let's talk about something of the folks."
