Yang Qing sighed as he gazed upon the black building that stood tall piercing the skies above with an inviolable aura around it. "The Order sure is black-hearted," he angrily thought as he made his way into the building begrudgingly. The building could be considered his home away from home and a source of endless grief for him due to its unforgiving working hours. The building housed the courtrooms of the Cultivation Order Society, an organization founded to maintain a semblance of order in the ruthless cultivation world of the southern continent who if left to their own devices would sink the whole continent to the ground. Due to how impetuous cultivators were, the cases never stopped. "Yi Jie, what do we have today?" "Two cultivators at the palace realm fought over a treasure and destroyed half of the territory of the blue deer kingdom in their fight, A rogue cultivator is suing the owner of the falling meteor blacksmith shop for selling him a faulty saber that keeps attracting lightning tribulations. A cultivator suffering from pill poisoning is blaming it on the white hilltop restaurant as he suspects they are feeding their spirit beasts pills to make them bigger and fatter. And the last case is 500 families are suing a cultivator by the name of Ren Fu for being negligent as a husband and a father whilst also pilfering their resources dry as he moves from place to place.," Awkward silence ensues...........

Dans la partie nord du monde, une longue bataille opposant diverses races et la race démoniaque a finalement pris fin. Le Seigneur Démon, une silhouette aux cheveux noirs et aux yeux rouges, règne depuis son palais d'obsidienne, ayant à maintes reprises défait la Déesse, l'être le plus puissant du monde. Cependant, elle s'abstient de la tuer, sachant qu'elle ne ferait que renaître pour mener une autre attaque. Alors que la déesse est agenouillée devant elle, gravement blessée et impuissante, les bruits des explosions résonnent à l'extérieur, signalant l'imminente victoire de l'Alliance. Malgré son immense pouvoir, le seigneur démon reconnaît la faiblesse générale des démons comparée aux humains et à l'Alliance. Le développement de l'énergie de combat et du mana a permis aux humains ordinaires de lutter contre les démons, menant à la défaite de l'armée démoniaque. Consciente de l'intention de l'Alliance d'asservir le démon abyssal, le Seigneur Démon décide de lancer un sortilège interdit qui lui coûtera la vie. Alors que les forces de l'Alliance prennent d'assaut le palais, elles hésitent en ressentant l'énergie du sortilège. Le Seigneur Démon jure de résister et de renaître pour sauver son peuple. Pendant ce temps, la déesse réfléchit au traitement passé du seigneur démon envers elle et reconnaît son respect et son dévouement envers son peuple. Tandis que le seigneur démon se prépare à lancer le sort, la déesse lui demande si elle peut abandonner son plan et vivre librement. Cependant, les seigneurs démons ont le devoir de restaurer la gloire de la race démoniaque et de protéger leur peuple. Comprenant la détermination du seigneur démon, la déesse prépare son épée, dans l'intention de se confronter au sortilège interdit du seigneur démo. L'explosion qui en résulte crée un nuage en forme de champignon, marquant la fin du conflit et le début d'une nouvelle ère. Le Seigneur Démon et la Déesse deviennent des figures historiques, dont les histoires sont occasionnellement racontées.
