Background Story

 

"What if an incredible force allows all beings in the world to have souls capable of equal conversation? How would the world be?"

 

A thousand years ago, the king of Zhou Mu, Ji Man, fell in love with the Queen Mother of the West, Qing Li. However, the paths of humans and demons diverged, and the boundary of life and death separation was the most difficult to overcome. As King Mu's soul entered reincarnation and Qing Li waited fruitlessly for several lifetimes, she too chose to transform her soul into a Qing Luan bird to seek her beloved in reincarnation.

 

The disappearance of the Queen Mother of the West, ruler of the demon realm Qing Li, caused a great upheaval in the demon world. However, due to the maintenance of the seven demon lords under the Queen Mother, there has not been any major chaos. Since then, the world has entered an era of opposition, coexistence, and mutual tolerance between humans and demons.

Since ancient times, humans and demons have coexisted in the world, with records in various schools of thought and philosophical teachings, each with its own tradition of martial arts, Daoist arts, and magical tools for subduing demons, protecting the human race. Some traditions have been intermittent, while others have been continuously passed down. The current exorcists inherit from these traditions. An exorcist specifically refers to those certified by the national exorcism department, with registered identities and professions. They engage in daily activities such as exterminating demons and protecting the mundane world from the harassment and harm of demons and ghosts, maintaining order within themselves; investigating mountains, rivers, lakes, and protecting the dragon veins and vital energy flow, preventing the intrusion of evil, Yin, and harmful energy, and maintaining the balance between yin and yang.
