Slowly, things began to change.
The power of the Earth Deities grew stronger and stronger. Initially, it was to balance the local forces, but once the Earth Deities reached a certain level of strength,
and with collusion and bribery of favored ministers, deceiving both above and below, those who accepted the imperial edict from the Emperor Dui began to change.
From the moment the first member of a powerful family was appointed as an Earth Deity, everything began to spiral out of control.
The Divine Country of the Earth Deities merged with the local area, transforming into an inner world that continuously absorbed people, turning them into incense-eating people.
No one knew how the first incense-eating person appeared or transformed.
At that time, natural disasters and human calamities were incessant, corpses of the starved filled the land, and the emergence of incense-eating people was beautified as a necessary act, and from then on there were no more starved corpses.
