After the Investiture of the Gods was completed, mortals lost one path to ascension. Cultivators on earth then split into orthodox and unorthodox paths. Even those who took the demonic path could not truly ascend and become gods. The reason, it turned out, was that with the support of the Heavenly Dao, cultivators of divinity and immortality had appeared. Acting as the Heavenly Dao’s judges, they decide who is worthy of becoming a god...
Those on the orthodox path lack talent, those on the unorthodox path harbor ill intentions and are doomed to fail, and demonic cultivators may be powerful, but they’re neither human nor ghost, caught in an unnatural state between the two.
