Back when Heaven had not yet fully separated from the mortal world, all existence was divided into three orders. The heavenly gods stood at the top. Humans, nourished by all things under heaven, occupied the middle. The flowers, trees, insects, birds, fish, and beasts that served the gods and humanity were at the bottom.
After thousands of years of shifting stars and changing fortunes, fewer and fewer people inherited the Way. Without its restraints, humanity grew arrogant and foolish, acting against the natural order.

some of the immortals, unable to bear the thought of the mortal world being devastated, secretly sent a wisp of their primordial spirits down to the mortal realm before the last heavenly gate closed.
