Background / History
Great Chu is a central dynasty that has lasted for 5,000 years, established after spending 130 years to end a chaotic era following the collapse of the Great Qin Dynasty 96. Emulating the Qin system, the empire founded the Demon Suppression Division and was initially aided by seven divine beings, driving out the demons within two hundred years of its founding 96. Over millennia, the dynasty faced severe internal and external challenges, including declining spiritual energy, restless enfeoffed princes, rebellious noble families, and the constant threat of the Demon race 175 483.
Following the deaths and transitions of emperors, such as the period following the tenth-generation ruler and various internal rebellions, figures like Chu Jiang rose through the military and political ranks to become Regent and Pacification Commissioner, reversing the empire's decline 223 597 726. Through military campaigns and sweeping administrative reforms, Great Chu eventually achieved a historic grand unification, expanding its territory to incorporate the Sun Moon Kingdom, the Barbarians, and the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, and establishing a five-tiered administrative system 732.
