第一纪元 — The Age of Divine Forging（神铸时代）
The Soul Cores descended upon the mortal realms and created the first great factions, then raised four colossal Sacred Engines that held the world in balance for ten thousand years, until the prophecy emerged.
The Soul Cores descended upon the mortal realms and created the first factions of 神机山海.
青丘灵族 — Qingqiu Spirit Clan: fox spirits who merged moonlight spirituality with living machinery. They created soul-thread technology, built dream-linked consciousness networks, and could transfer memories between bodies. Their creed: spirit shall guide machine.
山河守卫 — Mountain-Sea Guardians: human kingdoms united under bronze mechanized dynasties. They built titan wall-cities, forged giant war automatons, and protected humanity from divine corruption. Their sacred code: discipline over divinity.
深渊熔炉 — Abyssal Forge: a forbidden cult that discovered fragments of the Black Core beneath volcanic ruins. They believed flesh is weakness and only machinery is eternal, and began replacing their organs with hellforge components. This became the first cybernetic religion.
The gods then forged four colossal world-machines, the Four Sacred Engines:
天穹机轮 — controls celestial rotation.
山海龙脉炉 — powers the earth veins.
北冥魂塔 — stores the dead souls.
九曜天门 — seals the dimensional gates.
For ten thousand years, balance remained, until the prophecy emerged.
