Calming Soul Country is the home to the descendants of the Deities of the Inner Plane. It is hidden so thoroughly that the combined efforts of Soul Shrieker and all the carriers of Chaos were unable to find it. The secret art that protects the country will activate and notify the country's protectors whenever someone speaks the country's name to an outsider who is not part of the secret.

The world is ruled by fake Deities, and the Council of Elders usually rules in their place. The royal family and their guardians are greatly suppressed by the Deities.

The majority of the world's population are mortals. About one-third of the population are Demis allegedly descended from the Seven Gods, and will awaken a unique Divine Skill when born. Everyone born on this world has the God of Life's sigil engraved in their souls, which allows them to be tracked by powerful entities.

## History

Over a hundred million years ago, after the destruction of the Inner Plane, seven gods fled to the Outer Plane and managed to take their countries with them. Fighting against the unknown monsters in the void, these seven gods fell one by one. They made a pact with the Four Pillar Gods, who completely sealed their countries away so the countries could have a chance to survive.

The king of the God of Life's country formed a covenant with three Combatants who devoutly served the Gods, wherein they would protect Calming Soul Country and guarantee the continuation of the royal bloodline; in exchange, the royal family would always protect them and swear to never harm their descendants. This covenant was represented through the silver rings that the Combatants wore. This covenant was then broken tens of thousands years later when Xuan Ya discovered after her death that the royal family intended to tie up loose ends by killing her child.

About a hundred million years ago, after the seal was already established, the Water God System broke through the seal and appeared in the country in card form. Due to the space fluctuations, the void monster Soul Stealer – also known as the Heavenly Dragon's corpse – was able to infiltrate Calming Soul Country by devouring the world's Law of Death and taking its place. As a result, whenever anyone on Calming Soul Country dies, their souls are consumed and absorbed by Soul Stealer to be exploited and devoured for eternity. However, the monster could not rule the world completely because the royal family had the authority to destroy the world, which would result in mutual destruction and huge losses for this enemy. When the Water God System fled and left her card behind, the enemy split up her card into four portions gave it to four Demis to allow them to masquerade as Deities, thus suppressing the royal family and ruling over Calming Soul Country.

At some point in time, the God of Life came up with a way to overtake Soul Stealer's corpse and has been feeding on her descendants' souls ever since, first in order to recuperate her strength, and then because it was a comfortable and easy way to live.
