The story unfolds in a primordial era, when life first blossomed and the world began to take shape. Heaven and Earth established their boundaries, and various realms and tribes were clearly defined. From this genesis, four powerful deities emerged in the heavens: the Water God, Fire God, Wind God, and Earth God. Their true forms were a majestic White Dragon, a blazing Fire Phoenix, a cunning Nine-Tailed Fox, and a unique two-horned deer with 36 branches, respectively. Thus, the Four Seas and Eight Realms were formed. However, this nascent peace was short-lived. Conflicts over territory ignited fierce wars among the tribes, plunging the Demonic and Heavenly Realms into an age of sorrow and bloodshed. The Fire God and the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Realm, under the Heavenly Emperor's decree, united to restore cosmic order. Their countless victories instilled fear across the realms, bringing back a fragile peace. The Heavenly and Demonic Realms were distinctly separated, with the Heavenly Realm reigning supreme. The Crown Prince ascended as the Heavenly Emperor, and the Fire God became the Northern Emperor, governing one of the four cardinal realms. Just as eternal peace seemed assured, the Heavenly Emperor and Empress entered the cycle of reincarnation, returning to the Primordial Chaos—and that's when the true saga began.
