Several days after the Jade Emperor’s possession by the cursed armor, the Divinities of Perfect World wanted to create a spell that will seal the Dusk Temple forever. However, the Dusk Temple also possesses wonderful treasures that will aid the Path Seekers in their battles against the soulless.
So the Divinities have decided to contain the evil creatures and let the Path Seekers brave the challenges ahead and claim the treasures of the legendary Dusk Temple. Upon closer examination of the place, the Divinities discovered a tome of story that will tell them how this place came to be.
The Great War between the gods and demons ended in their relocation to heaven and the underworld. A thousand years later, the Dusk dynasty rose to power over the Perfect Land. With fear as their own weapon, their rule became the end of the enlightened age after the brightness that consumed all.
Under the order of Cang Li the Tyrant, the Empire of Men invaded the lands of the peace loving Wingkin, almost erasing all traces of their existence. The rift between the two races grew deeper as the once proud Wingkin were forced to flee, forced to live in the shadows that they have abhorred, and mastered the art of striking from a distance.
In those few decades that the Dusk Dynasty ruled the land, they became the strongest and reviled rulers of men. Even the mighty Beastkin dared not challenge the Empire. They instead maintained an uneasy truce with them.
All of these were said to have been borne out of the power of Cang Li’s mask. The sight of this golden mask was enough to kill a man out of fear. Every battle was a victory as long as the Tyrant had his mask on. It was the source of the Emperor’s power. Rumors then started flying out about how whoever possessed the mask would be able to wield this immense power.
