700 years ago, a war was waged among the five great clans in the mystical realm of Jianghu. The leader's of each clans were wanting the power of a mysterious artefact, called the 'Heaven's Will'.
***
A legend had been told more than centuries ago, that the five great God's had interwined their powers together that made the artefact, and placed it deep inside the midst of a mountain and sealed it so no one can disrupt its force.
They said, that the power of Heaven's Will will protect the realm of Jianghu and balance it's peace and Whoever finds it, it will be given the power of gods.
But, If anyone is to interfere in it's force the fate of Jianghu will come to an end.
And, years later, the humans greed grew enormously---Each individual pierced their eyes on its power, and then--- a Great War was followed, the great clans of that period shredded their bloods inorder to get there hands on the Heaven's Will, the war was lead in a brutal sacrifice of people and grusome bloodshead, the appealing mytical realm had been turned into a bone dry plain. And, slowly the fate of Jianghu came to an end.---
The Heaven's seeing over the disasters done, they were really saddened and to stop the war the Sun God decended into the realm and with his powers, he destroyed the artefact into pieces.
'The Heaven's then divided the artefact into four segments and gave it's power to the four clans to hold. The Moon Goddess inorder to remake everything that was destroyed descended with the Sun God from the heavens and reformed the mystical realm of Jianghu and blessed the clans to maintain its peace and harmony.'---
