Stone Village was a remote and backward little mountain village in the northeast.
The villagers were feudal and superstitious.
From childhood, nearly everyone in every household knew of certain so-called taboos.
If a child cried, it meant they were possessed by something unclean.
If a child fell ill, it meant their soul had been lost.
...
Through beliefs like these, this remote and backward little village developed its own set of rules.
Namely, the worship of a Great Immortal.
The legend of the Great Immortal originated a long, long time ago. No one knew exactly when that "long time ago" had begun.
They only knew that from the time they could remember, the village elders had told them stories of the Great Immortal.
And in this place, the Great Immortal was a being akin to a god.
The wealthier families, and even those willing to risk everything they owned to have a wish granted, all worshipped the Great Immortal.
