Heaven and earth are not benevolent. They treat all things like straw dogs!
There were no gods or immortals in this world to begin with. But since time immemorial, humans have looked at the world around them and witnessed all manner of strange phenomena: lightning and thunder, violent winds and torrential rain, natural disasters and man-made calamities that left countless dead and suffering everywhere. These were beyond human power to cause or withstand. So people came to believe that above the Nine Heavens dwelt all kinds of gods, while beneath the Nine Hells lay the place of the dead, with the halls of the King of Hell.
And so the legends of gods and immortals spread throughout the world. Countless people prayed with sincere devotion, worshipping the various deities they had imagined into being, praying for blessings and pouring out their troubles. The incense burned in abundance...
In this age, the righteous path flourishes and evil forces keep their distance. The lands of the Central Plains are blessed with beautiful mountains and rivers, a thriving population, and abundant resources, and are firmly controlled by the righteous sects. Among them, the Qingyun Sect, Tianyin Temple, and Fenxiang Valley are the three pillars and leaders of the righteous path.
This story begins with the Qingyun Sect.
