Humanoid Calamity

Zhao He, the Grand Arbiter of Calamity of the Ziwei Court, held the balance of heaven and earth's disasters for a million years, acting justly and upholding the Dao.

When he sought to revise the heavenly laws governing calamity, he infringed upon the old immortals' interests. They framed him with three grave crimes: leaking heavenly secrets, meddling with calamities, and disrupting the laws of heaven.

They shattered his million-year immortal foundation, stripped him of his celestial rank, and cast him into the Great Void Abyss, where all laws lie in

oblivion, leaving his soul to wither and his tradition to perish.

In this desperate place, Zhao He saw through the true nature of the Heavenly Dao:

When order is set in stone, heaven and earth decay. When calamity washes everything clean, all things are renewed.

He abandoned the path of heavenly order and, in a land of utter silence, attained the primordial Dao in reverse. He realized the Fruit of Emptiness, Death, and Freedom from Misfortune, and ascended to become the True Lord of Vast Covering and Mysterious Calamity of Taiwei.

The fire of tribulation does not burn grass and trees; it burns the hearts of those who follow false paths. The waters of calamity do not drown mortal bodies; they rot the bones of decaying immortals.

Once the guardian of order, now a walking natural disaster.

He walks among mortals, sweeps away decaying sects, storms the Southern Heaven, and reopens old cases. He will make those false immortals who command order understand:

If the Heavenly Dao is unjust, break it with heavenly calamity. If order is unfair, overthrow it with the Dao of Calamity.

Only after he has flattened the heights of the Nine Heavens does he learn:

Without calamity, heaven and earth sink into eternal stillness. Without fault in the Heavenly Dao, nothing is born or dies.
