The pollution in the mortal realm is severe, causing the spiritual veins to be nearly destroyed. As a result, no one has ascended to immortality for hundreds of years. In the past, immortals either ascended due to accumulating merits or retired when reaching a certain age.

Consequently, many areas in the Heavenly Court are filled with rubbish and dust. In order to maintain the beauty and reputation of the Heavenly Court, and to alleviate the labor pressure, an emergency plan has been initiated to temporarily select a janitor from the mortal realm.
