In the beginning, the world was divided among the Four Great Corpse Kings: Jiang Chen, Hanba, Ying Gou, and Hou Qing; and the Three Great Sects: Buddhism, Taoism, and the Carefree Sword Manor. The human and demon races were also divided. The Three Great Sects called themselves gods, while the Four Great Corpse Kings were branded as devils. The demons roamed in darkness, and only the humans were unarmed. But Heaven was not unjust: the humans' lands were vast and rich, and their civilization flourished. Then the Three Great Sects coveted the humans' treasures and territory, joining forces with the demons to invade the mortal world. To keep humanity from being wiped out, the Four Progenitors united to stop them. But Ying Gou betrayed Jiang Chen and gravely wounded him, forcing Jiang Chen to expend all his blood essence. Afraid that humanity would be left without protection, he preserved his core and sent Hanba and Hou Qing into the mortal world to defend humankind. Yet the Corpse Clan's legacy was destroyed all the same! Witness the Corpse Clan reborn and returning in triumph to wipe out every petty foe!!!!
