Though the Nether Planes resided within the same realm as the others, it was a perilous locale for spirit cultivators; only soul cultivators thrived there, making it even more treacherous than the Devil Realm.
During that dark era, Dong Jue, like countless human cultivators in the Runestone System, faced the humiliation and torture inflicted by the Frostfall races. Many of his friends and loved ones perished at their hands.
As in all great legends, he rose to power, overthrowing the foreign races and elevating humanity to an equal standing.
After vanishing for tens of thousands of years, he reemerged to establish the Dong Clan. It was said he destroyed the planet Frostfall, vanquishing an ancient being that lay dormant at its core.
Instead of exterminating the foreign races, however, he chose to gather them, sealing their bloodlines, Qi, luck, and fortunes, ultimately merging the remnants of Frostfall with another planet.
"The Nether Planes... intriguing."*
