When Taoism established its own church, inner qi and magic coexisted.
Before the Common Era, the old church's failed campaign across realms ended in its brutal collapse at the hands of Taoism, which founded a new church. The gods were replaced, and chaos reigned.
The Three Pure Ones replaced Ao Ou. The Heavenly Court became known as the Palace of Ten Thousand Gods, and Hell merged with the Underworld. The Abyss endured. History would remember this as the First Taoist Church Empire.
Titans and giants, elves and hill spirits, succubi and fox demons, skeletons and zombies: a vibrant scene, with all things competing to thrive, lay before them.
When inner qi and magic run side by side, flying swords become wands.
