"The qilin, phoenix, tortoise, and dragon are known as the Four Sacred Beasts."

A thousand years ago, the qilin bestowed immense divine power upon the Great Yin Empire on the Divine Land. The imperial clan inherited six parts, while the remaining four went to the four great families who guarded the empire. The Great Yin Empire became the only nation in the universe to have always enjoyed the favor of spirit beasts.

The other three spirit beasts, the phoenix, tortoise, and dragon, bestowed their divine power upon the Spiritual Communionists of the Vast Land, humans who stood closest to the gods. They distributed their power according to each Spiritual Communionist's aptitude. Five parts of divine power were enough to rule a region, while six parts could make one sovereign over all.

In the ten-thousand-year histories of the Vast Land and the Divine Land, not a single expert capable of bearing seven parts of a spirit beast's divine power has ever appeared. Seven parts of divine power exist only in legend.
