One general's success is built upon the bones of countless dead; when one person attains enlightenment, ten thousand are tainted.
The living beings of the human realm were formed from the two forces of yin and yang, and have always maintained a state of balance.
Yet when people seek immortality and the Dao, they drain the pure yang energy of the human realm.
Once someone attains the immortal Dao, the balance shifts: the impure is cast aside and the true remains, causing the turbid yin energy of the human realm to grow stronger and its spiritual energy to grow ever thinner.
This leads to people becoming corrupt and morality falling into ruin.
In time, demonic cultivators and evil practitioners rise to power, yin and yang are reversed, and this is known as the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth.
The three thousand Dao lineages of demons, Buddhas, and immortals across the Three Realms, whether righteous or evil, good or wicked, can all seize the blessings of Heaven and Earth and fight for that one slim chance of survival.
