In the year 1323 of the New Yu Era, October 15th, Tongling County

The demonic chaos of last year's Rakshasa Festival inflicted indelible, massive damage upon Tongling County. The population of the Prefectural City plummeted from nearly two million to just over four hundred thousand; not a single soul survived in Baiye County, and Yulin County also suffered considerable damage, with only Zhaoyang County remaining unscathed.

As heavy as the pain brought by demons was, just like the deepest wounds that heal gradually with the passage of time, Tongling County slowly regained its vitality after more than a year of the Hou Clan's governance.
