100,000 years before the current story, the God Clan fought with Moon/Dark Clan and won, took over Mortal Realms and exiled the Moon Clan to Land of the Dead. The Moon Clan was described by God Clan as savage and evil, but they are not.
Only God Clan and Moon Clan can use Power/Magic, and they come naturally for both of them. Human have to learn to use Chi and only few can learn it. Magic comes from within, Chi comes from without (the surrounding) and even from another alternate dimension (A world wholly made of Chi, including creatures and plants.). Highest form of Chi shown so far can materialise anything, for example Sword Aura in early chapter is still low level and it does not have physical form, later on the Master Swordman can materialise God-slaying Sword (Yep, he survived).
Several decades before, the previous Oracle (Fu Xi) was betrayed by his elder daughter (the current High Priestess/Oracle who is with Tian/Heaven) and jailed for speaking out the truth/forsaw God Clan's doom. He broke out with a few other comrades and form a sort of Rebel, those who do not see Human as beneath them and seek to live in harmony with the World. They are deemed traitor to God Clan. Fu Xi is also Da Ji's father, so he's the main character's grandfather.
Tian/Heaven does not directly rule the God Clan, he's always in slumber and only wakes up now and then when the God Clan is in crisis, since the war 100,000 years ago. It is assumed by Fu Xi that current state of God Clan was because of Fu Xi's elder daughter and other Gods' tricking Tian/Heaven, that Tian/Heaven isn't exactly entirely evil.
There exists a Palace of Elder Gods, who were of the Six Great Gods status. Many lost the title to the newer generations (in battle to grant the title), however there are those who don't care about the title and simply retire to Elder Gods status (and are actually far stronger than the current Six Great Gods). The head of the Palace is Heaven Eye, an Elder God of tens of thousands years old. The Elder Gods are forbidden by Tian to run the God Clan, they only advise the Oracle and Six Great Gods, but their main priority is to watch out the Moon Clan. Heaven Eye feels betrayed by this, for he is second only to Tian in term of power but confined to the Palace watching the Moon Clan for eternity, and he has plans on his own.
The Moon Clan's Grand General plans to revolt against God Clan and Tian, and he tries to forge an alliance with both Human and the God Rebels lead by Fu Xi (after the God Rebels are nearly annihilated and Fu Xi captured).
Also some old enemies become new allies.
Shi Xing is Tian's only son. He was kind to Human and fell in love with a blind human girl, as a result his lover was killed and he was cursed into Undeath and lost his memory. After being slain by Master Swordman, he regains his Memory in the Land of the Dead, merges with the Phoenix and return to take revenge on the God Clan.
Main character is part-god and he has a unique God Power, the same one as Tian. It is unique because only Tian has that power, even Tian's own son Shi Xing has a totally different power. MC is also part-human and he learn Chi from his uncle Master Swordman.
