In a time long past, mortals thrived in a golden age, blessed by the grace of the gods. Great heroes roamed the land, and the Dao beckoned all life to explore its mysteries. At the pinnacle of this era stood Ea, the Savior, ruler of the gods. He bestowed upon the world knowledge, magic, cultivation, and tools, shaping the destiny of mortals.

Amidst the chaos, mortals cried out for aid, their pleas echoing through the heavens.
