Heavenly Deities Destructive War
1) War over Holy Seals
The Cheon religion is thought to have settled among ascetic truth seekers one hundred years ago. These people regarded austere self-discipline as the true path to enlightenment, thus the religion was a natural fit. However, as stagnant water goes rotten, a religion is likely to deviate from the original teachings.
Once the first leader past away, a great conflict began over who should be his successor. This led to a war between the twelve High Monks, which finally resulted in their self destruction. In essence, it was the war over the Twelve Heavenly Deities' Power Seals. Their holy scriptures
foretold that the power of the Twelve Heavenly Deities could be mastered only by those who collected all the Seals.
To be the leader of the religion, one had to collect the Twelve Heavenly Deities' Power Seals. In other words, he needed the consent of the twelve High Monks.
Cheonjin, the sixth leader of the religion had only six Seals, because the other six High Monks did not accept the unprecedented patrilineal descent of leadership. This was how the fierce war was started to collect the twelve Seals between the two factions of High Monks.
After thirty years of internal strife, one of the High Monks named Mirok succeeded in acquiring the twelve Seals. However, the conflict had torn an irreversible rift between the sects. Apprehensive of his newfound power, Mirok hid the Seals and retreated to the mountains to live as a hermit.
This is what was contained in records of Cheon found by an ambitious faction leader many years later, the world of warriors was engaged again in a bloody war. It came to be called the Era of Heavenly Deities' Destructive War.
The Seals, holy objects of great power, were rumored to turn the tides of wars between men and demons or even between the gods themselves. Their unimaginable power has been sealed away by the twelve High Monks and hidden out of fear of their misuse.
