Over the last decade, the Central Plains have been shrouded in chaos, with the sky darkened and the sun and moon deprived of light, resulting in corpses littering the fields and rivers of blood. The twelve nations of the land are in great turmoil, the rituals and music have collapsed, and the social order is in disarray.
The natural climate has also undergone drastic changes, with floods and epidemics in the South, and drought and locust plagues in the North. Extreme cold in winter and intense heat in summer, mountains collapsing and the earth cracking, hordes of demons emerging.
Moreover, the duration of the illusory moon's radiance has grown longer, sometimes rising even during the day, exuding overwhelming evil energy, causing even chickens raised in pens to become enlightened, and a plethora of odd-shaped ghosts and monsters pouring out from the ravines, like a swarm of maggots hatching and invading the human world, truly a scene of the apocalypse.
