Before there was the decision to allow more gods to appear, no one could become a Death God. As such, everyone had to start as a Death Sage.
Duskcorpse was one of the first Death Sages to appear, carrying within her the frightening power to command the Death Dao. The power had come from her own deathly constitution, which produced Death aura at a rate that was thousands of times more than what a regular body did.
Duskcorpse had to learn to control her Death aura in order to survive, and had thus become a master of the Death Dao. Her exploits were known far and wide as she was a powerful figure during the time of war.
Since she was also the very first person to become the Death God.
After becoming the Death God, she had established her Death cult, which grew in size quickly, encompassing many of the Death Sages that came after her.
