A long, long time ago, in an era where mythical beasts reigned, humanity was shrouded in endless fear. Among them, the most vicious beast king named "Xi" and its followers committed countless evils, leaving the common people in great distress. Faced with these beasts, people were nearly helpless.

To save the creatures of the lower realm, the Jade Emperor decided to take action. He appointed twelve immortals with boundless magical powers, granting them the title of "Year Stars," and dispatched them to the mortal world with the mission to completely annihilate the beast king "Xi" and its followers. However, the beast king's strength was beyond imagination, and even with the combined efforts of the twelve Year Stars, they failed to subdue it, allowing it to seize a moment of weakness and escape.

Upon learning of this, the Jade Emperor was deeply concerned. To ensure peace and tranquility in the mortal world, he instructed the twelve Year Stars to take turns guarding it, preventing the beast king from returning. But during the transition period each year when the guardians changed, defenses were at their weakest, and the beast king would always take advantage of this opportunity to appear. To address this, the Jade Emperor dispatched another powerful immortal to the mortal world to teach humans a formidable and terrifying power. From then on, humans finally had the ability to protect themselves, and the beast king was completely sealed in battle, while its followers went into hiding, awaiting the chance to emerge again.

（1）Zhizha

The origin of paper binding can be traced back to ancient folk religious sacrifices, and later gradually developed into a decorative art to celebrate festivals. During the Spring Festival, paper pricking, as an important folk element, is widely used in various festival activities. And lanterns, window flowers, etc., are actually a kind of paper tying process.

As one of the elements in Chinese traditional culture, paper figures are often associated with mysterious and supernatural elements, with strong Oriental characteristics and local colors. With this choice, we hope to create a unique Chinese atmosphere for the game. Arouse more players' interest and resonance in Chinese traditional culture.
