Far from the 6 empires and their isolated world, a war waged eternally. It was not a war of ideals, but of survival.
For billions of years the war knew no change save the slow loss of territory to the enemy, the Fiends.
A little over 75 years ago, things changed.
An ant from a mortal world broke the cultivation truths. He challenged what was accepted and defied all fate to rise unrelentingly. He touched on things few ever considered and revived an entire profession most frowned on.
His greatest achievement, however, was as savior of an entire segment of cultivators. Unlike many that came before, he did not hide his revelations but forcibly spread them to all. He refused to be selfish and became the founder of a sect that shook the mortal and Heaven Realms.
He also became the mortal enemy of the Fiends. While many had invoked their ire, he became enemy number one very quickly.
