Lingzi tells the story of the five great clans of the Celestial Continent. The first clan is called the "blood clan," the second is called "the shadow clan," "the war clan" and "the death clan." The third clan is known as the "void clan," and the fourth is the "leader of the celestial continent." The previous emperor of the void clan was killed by someone from the other clan, but the new emperor has succeeded him and is now the leader of the continent.
