Chapter 5096: 5099 [Ainu's Great Music]

After countless years, Arda gradually fell into decline, and the humans living in Arda began to move towards doom.

Even the gods and elves living in Aman began to decline.

Melkor, the first great demon king who had been exiled to the void, now passed through the Gate of Night and returned to Arda.

He first destroyed the two stars, the sun and the moon, surrounding Arda, causing Arda to fall into darkness again.

In the world of "The Lord of the Rings", the two stars, the Sun and the Moon, are actually a fruit and a flower produced by the Two Trees.

On the planet Arda, the first two lighthouses provided light, and that period was also called the "Giant Light Age." Later, the first great demon king Melkor destroyed the giant lights, causing Arda to fall into darkness.

The Valar wept in sorrow, and their tears remained on the earth, and watered the Two Trees, which shone with their light upon Arda again.

Later, Melkor contacted the giant spider evil god Ungoliant and together they destroyed the two sacred trees. After that, the craftsman god Aulë built two chariots and sent a fruit and a flower from the two sacred trees to the sky, where they became the sun and the moon, continuing to shine on Arda.

Now Melkor has returned, and he has destroyed the sun and moon over Arda and is fighting against the Valar.

The elves in Aman and the remaining humans in Arda stood together with the Valar and fought against the great demon Melkor. In the end, Melkor was killed by Turin holding the black sword, and he was later canonized as a saint by Ilúvatar.

Then, the long-lost Silmarils were found and given to Vala Yavanna, who crushed the Silmarils and used their powder to relight the Two Trees.

The high mountains around Valinor turned into plains again, and the light of the Two Sacred Trees once again shone over Arda. As a result, the gods regained their youth, and the dead elves were resurrected, and they and humans were bathed in the glory of the Two Sacred Trees.

Afterwards, the Valar and the Maiar went together to the Eternal Hall where Ilúvatar lived, and together they composed "The Second Movement of the Ainur".

……

"The First Movement of the Ainu" is called the "Great Movement of Creation".

At that time, Ilúvatar had just been born, and he split countless Ainur from his own thoughts, who would later become the Valar and Maia, including Manwë, Aulë, Gandalf, Melkor, Sauron, Saruman and so on.

Ilúvatar granted them free will with the eternal fire and led them to sing "The First Song of the Ainur".

When the Ainur sang the first movement together, Melkor kept disrupting it, resulting in many discordant notes in the movement.

Finally, when the "First Movement of the Ainur" was finished, Ilúvatar used the eternal fire to create the universe "Ea" in the void, and created the planet Arda in Ea, as well as the two races of elves and humans.

It turns out that the theme of "The First Movement of the Ainur" is creation, and every note sung by the gods is the future destiny of Arda.

The gods were very interested in the new world and the new race, and they all wanted to enter this world. So Ilúvatar let them enter it, and the powerful gods were called Valar, and the weaker gods were called Maia.

When they entered Arda, they found that Arda was in chaos. It took the concerted efforts of the gods to transform it into the holy land of their dreams.

Therefore, the gods began to create together, and Melkor was responsible for making trouble, and he also bewitched a large number of Maiar to follow him to make trouble, including Sauron, Ungoliant and so on.

It was these gods who later degenerated into demons and brought a lot of destruction to humans, elves, dwarves, etc.

……

Compared to "The First Movement of the Ainu", "The Second Movement of the Ainu" is much more harmonious because after so many years, every Ainu has understood their position and the meaning of creation.

Ilúvatar was overjoyed after hearing this, and then he took out the Eternal Fire, turning the ideas of each god into reality at the moment they were sung, and thus a new universe was born.

Humans and elves also entered the next era.

Xiang Nan witnessed all of this with his own eyes, and for him, this scene was not uncommon.

In the worlds of Green Snake and Brilliant Pig Bajie, he has experienced the collapse and reconstruction of heaven and earth countless times. He himself also has the ability to open up the world and create earth, water, fire and wind.

Therefore, this scene is not uncommon, and he can do it himself.

After the birth of the new world, elves and humans are still the protagonists of the planet Arda, and Xiangnan and Tauriel still live happily in Aman.

And because there are no mountains blocking Aman, even humans can reach here. After being illuminated by the Two Sacred Trees, their hearts are purified and sublimated.

The arrival of humans also brought many new and interesting things to Aman, causing changes in the lives of the gods and elves, which had remained unchanged for countless years.

For example, human music, food, technology, culture, etc. have all developed independently over the countless years and are already very different from those of the Valar, Maia, and elves.

……

No matter how beautiful something is, it will eventually wither. Finally, with the end of "The Second Movement of Ainu", the entire universe also came to an end.

Then Ilúvatar led the Ainur to play "The Third Movement of the Ainur" and continued to create a new universe.

The Third Movement of the Ainu is more magnificent and harmonious than the Second Movement of the Ainu, and therefore this new universe is more exciting.

The subsequent "Fourth Movement of the Ainu", "Fifth Movement of the Ainu", "Sixth Movement", "Seventh Movement"... became more and more harmonious and magnificent, and finally "Ninth Movement of the Ainu" reached perfection.

But as the saying goes, everything that rises must come to an end. With the end of "The Ninth Movement of Ainu", starting from the "Tenth Movement", things gradually became chaotic and disordered.

By the time of "The Seventeenth Movement of the Ainu", the chorus had collapsed beyond recognition, with all the Valar and Maia singing their own tunes and not being able to sing in unison.

As a result, the new universe created by "The Seventeenth Movement of the Ainu" was in chaos. Even if the Valar and Maia were sent to manage it, they were still chaotic and did not know how to cooperate with each other.

Not only did they sabotage each other, they even attacked each other and fought each other, and each of them degenerated into a great demon like Melkor and Sauron.

Seeing this scene, Ilúvatar was also very upset.

"Why did it turn out like this?" He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

"It's very simple. Everything in the world has its birth and death, its rise and fall, and they alternate with each other. After prosperity comes decline, and after adversity comes good times..." Xiang Nan explained.

He was no longer surprised by this.

Because he had seen the rise and fall of countless civilizations, the power and destruction of countless races. Compared to him, Ilúvatar still lacked experience.
