Over the century, as the Heavenly Dao Sect's power greatly declined, the Da Gu Court had not yet stabilized the nation.
All over the realm, numerous uprisings in the name of divine spirits erupted and quelled in waves. The most significant, known as the "Sky Toppling Change," almost obliterated the Heavenly Dao Sect as well.
In the midst of the Sky Toppling Change, the previous Sect Leader of the Ghost God Association, Emperor Banshan, led a group of ghost gods and suddenly attacked the main peak of the Heavenly Dao Sect, Tao Reverence Peak.
Caught off guard, the Heavenly Dao Sect's defenses were breached from within and without, their followers slaughtered, and blood flowed like rivers.
