The previous mission of the Imperial Preceptor had failed. This plan had been meticulously prepared by the Black Hall over a long period, yet it ended in failure—and not only did it fail, but they also lost twelve powerful Great Emperor-level experts, the Twelve Heavenly Terrors. Upon returning to headquarters, the Imperial Preceptor was nearly beaten to death. To atone for his failure, he prepared this new plan. He led a group of experts skilled in soul-gathering arts to search for planets containing residual souls. This particular planet happened to be home to many. By gathering these residual souls and utilizing curse arts, they could forcibly coalesce them into a living entity; once formed, such a creature would possess terrifying power, which would be of great use to the Black Hall’s subsequent schemes.
