I don't know how long had passed before the Creator discovered that the Immortal Realm was forever plagued by endless filth and corruption. The darkness in people's hearts, in particular, was a breeding ground for boundless greed, fear of death, and bitter hatred, growing and multiplying without end.

The Source of Darkness specialized in corruption; it could even pollute the Source of the Heavenly Dao, interfering with the powers of time and space, making it extraordinarily powerful.
