In the original history of Earth, the dynasty preceding Zhengguo was named 'Anx'.
During the final years of the Anx Dynasty, King Lio ascended the throne. His tyrannical and merciless rule, combined with a great famine in the southwest, plunged the people into misery. When one region rebelled, the whole world followed. Hundreds of rebel factions rose up overnight, and the flames of war spread across the Divine Land.
In the end, King Lio died when the allied Rebel Army breached the Southern Celestial Capital. He immolated himself in his own palace. But even so, countless commoners spontaneously built a Soul Suppressing Tower on the site, cursing him to find no peace in death, his soul to be scattered to the winds.
