That was straying a little far from the point. In any case, it had all happened at least three or four hundred years ago.
"And later came the great calamity of heaven and earth, and spiritual energy waned. Even the City God's divine order could barely hold on... By the way, do you know who the City God of Lower River is?"

But the City God's divine order grew weaker and weaker, until it was clearly on the verge of collapse..." It was only then that the three families' ancestors went to the General's Temple and asked the Mages there to use their Taoist arts to deliver them...
"So the ancestors of the three households came to the General's Temple and asked its masters to use their Daoist arts to guide the dead..."
