Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin had existed since ancient times, and the Three-Life Bronze Coffin ran through all of ancient history.
Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin had three layers, representing the past, present, and future. Within it lay a Stone Jar containing the ashes of a being Beyond the Sacrificial Path.
The Bronze Coffin had overturned in an accident, scattering the ashes over the Plateau. Ominous substances polluted the Great Chiliocosm, giving rise to the Dark Ancestors and the Eerie Race-the source of all ominousness.
Time flowed on. Within the Sea of Realms, the Corpse Immortal Emperor obtained the Three-Life Bronze Coffin and possessed the fortune of a protagonist, but the Eerie Race also set its sights on him, and he fell into darkness. After filling the abyss with his own body, he sealed some of his untainted flesh and Primordial Spirit inside the smallest Bronze Coffin, then sealed that coffin within the Great Luo Sword Embryo, seeking a thread of survival.
In the Emperor-Fall Era, after the Quasi-Immortal Emperor who built the Dam perished, his last thread of life became an Emperor Flame, hiding within the two remaining bronze coffins.
In the Immortal Ancient Era, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths suffered defeat. The True Immortals followed the example of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor's flame and hid their hopes within the bronze coffins, using them as places of slumber and rest, escaping through them and weathering the changing eras in hopes of growing stronger in the future.
The Clear Subtle Heaven Lord, Great Red Heaven Lord, and Yuyu Heaven Lord, for instance, reincarnated as the three Daoist Venerables of the Mythical Era. The Amitabha Buddha Emperor was likewise a similar flower blooming anew.
One could say that Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin had shaped ancient history. Becoming entangled with it
