The history of the Chessboard Realm is shrouded in mist.
Even the long-lived dwarves find it unclear. York is a bit younger than Pick, only eighty-two this year. They can live to around 350 years on average, with some elderly demons reaching up to 500 years. This lifespan astonished and envied Su Ziyu. Compared to this, the lifespan of humans is just too short, even in this high energy level world, where the average human life span is around sixty to seventy years.
In York's words, Su Ziyu learned that the existence of Witches in this world is very special.
They almost never age, and no one knows how long they can live.
The Witches once sheltered humans during the dark ages, an era belonging to dragons and giants.
York doesn't know much about this era either, just saying that celestial fire consumed everything, demon dragon progeny crawled out of the abyss, and terrifying giant snakes ravaged the land, treating dragons, giants, and humans as food.
