A thousand years ago, the five realms of ghosts, demons, spirits and immortals, celestial beings, and mortals were connected. Powerful beings could travel freely between them, treating people like ants and taking lives without a second thought. The strong preyed on the weak.
The frail human race was little more than livestock raised by the ghost, demon, and other races, sometimes taken as a snack to go with their wine.
Then, a thousand years ago, a powerful human cultivator united with several weaker races and, pooling the strength of their peoples, separated the humans of the mortal realm from the five realms so they could live and recover in isolation.
But for reasons unknown at the time, the Sword Saint, Saber Saint, Zither Saint, Chess Saint, the Elven Queen, the Giant Clan Chief, and the Dwarf Clan's generation of powerful warriors either died or disappeared. The mortal realm also entered an age without cultivation.
A thousand years later, however, the formation that had been able to keep the realms apart for so long gradually began to fail.
The barriers between the other realms and the mortal realm grew ever weaker. The ghost realm in particular was slowly merging with the mortal realm!
