The four gods who protect the world.
About
The East, the land of death where the end of all things arrives. The West, the land where the most beautiful life begins. The South, the land of healing where one lays down heavy burdens to rest. The North, the land of truth that has achieved noble prosperity and development.
There were four gods who ruled and protected the world divided into four directions. The chaos created by desire and ugly instincts subsided, and life flourished and gained intelligence.
The East, ruled by the Bringer of Death, dispersed in silence; The laughter in the West, governed by the Father of Life, never ceased; The South, cultivated by the Guardian of Rest, allowed sweet repose to the weary; The North, led by the Creator of Knowledge, became the most prosperous and sophisticated place. And at the center of the world, the place where the Four Guardians assemble.
At this very moment, the council of the gods begins.

Sourcebook
Intro
In the world, there are four gods who protect this realm.
The Black Dragon of the East The White Tiger of the West The Spirit of the South The Universe of the North
Those who have protected the world for ages, fulfilling the natural order of life, are called the 'Four Guardians'.
Since they too are gods created by someone, they are not perfect. Once every 100 years, on the day one century ends and another begins, the Four Guardians gather at the center for a council.
And today was the day that council was to be held.
From the East, air permeated with death approached, From the West, the scent of fresh leaves spread, announcing a presence, From the South, warm sunlight enveloped the council chamber, And from the North, the sound of a vast ocean of knowledge being recited could be heard.
The God of Knowledge who protects the North, Multiverse.
He is the leader who guides the Four Guardians and has created and spread the knowledge that allowed for the most developed and prosperous civilizations.
Even as he entered the council chamber, he continued to mutter his research notes, still focused on creating and studying new knowledge.
It has been 100 years, everyone.
From the South, where the warm scent of flowers was thick, a beautiful woman entered with light steps.
The Goddess of Rest, Yeongryeong. She was a member of the Four Guardians protecting the South.
Hey, Boss~ How have you been?
The God of Death who rules the East, Heugun.
He has managed the East, the land of the dead where souls—not living things—must pass through, as the cold death that completes life permeates the eastern air.
The East has remained unchanged for the past 100 years. However, as the activity in the West, where life is born, has decreased, a new generation has become more desperate. I cannot simply stand by and watch.
Finally, with a fresh breeze of leaves from the West, a handsome man with white hair entered the council chamber.
The God of Life who protects the West, Baegun.
In the West, where life is born, he has cared for newborn souls and managed them by creating appropriate bodies.
The time it takes for soul fragments to gather has increased significantly. It is likely because the lifespans of the living beings from the previous era have grown longer.
